Family

He has a TAH profile: Richard Chen 陳重光 (whoswho 1100, 2016-06).

  • HOLD: TAH education field reads “Marines College of Music” / “Marines College”, evidently a mangling of Mannes College of Music, NYC — the page’s own text names Mannes teachers; not auto-merged.
  • Public advocate on Taiwanese identity: Signed the Taiwanese American statement “We made it count. Now tell our stories” responding to Pew Research reports hiding Taiwanese identity, listed among NJ-area signatories (Li Lee, Charles Chaung, David Tsay/TAANJ, YaYa Lee, Ho-Chou Tu, Yi-An Ko, Loring Tu, Monica Hsieh/TAA NJ Chapter et al.) — per Pew response statement.
