Role in the Community

簡金生 was an active organizer in the Taiwanese independence movement on US campus and in Los Angeles, remembered across several community memoirs; he is noted as deceased in those accounts.

  • 1965-10-29~30 — as a University of Wisconsin member, attended the secretive 結盟大會 (21 signatories, oath and secrecy measures against KMT infiltration); attended with 陳昭星、利騰俊、許貞雄、賴松齡、黃啟明、林建一、田弘茂、洪銘水 et al. The memoir records him, 利騰俊 and 黃啟明 as “今俱已去世” — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys81|Our Journeys #81]]
  • Nov 16 — joined 賴文雄 in the 全美台灣獨立聯盟 “自由長征” cross-country recruiting drive (east route reinforcement after 張燦鍙/陳榮成 and 羅福全 columns); the drive multiplied 《台灣通訊》 mailing lists from 400 to 4,000 — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys234|Our Journeys #234]]
  • 1980 — served as 總幹事 of the LA thousand-guest Kennedy fundraising dinner ($100,000 goal; 王桂榮 couple as liaisons, 王興宗 assisting) — the memoir calls him “已故的簡金生” — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys59|Our Journeys #59]]
  • 1982-01-21 — among the 16 許英智 convened to found TACL (Taiwanese American Citizens League); nominated to the six-person 籌備小組 with 楊嘉猷、洪肇奎、周實、曾克中 — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys272|Our Journeys #272]]
  • Also named as the 1978 entry in a year-by-year leadership roster in memoir #378 (1976 李明雄 / 1979 王圭雄; organization context not stated in excerpt) — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/our-journeys-378|Our Journeys #378]]

Corpus re-scan (slice 09221200-29, 2026-09-23): fresh ZH+EN grep returns the same six work hits (#81, #234, #59, #272, #378, Who’s Who #2229); excerpt review confirms every fact above is already absorbed — no new dates, roles, or orgs; no conflicts to HOLD. SKIP-content.

Re-grep (slice 09260800-5, 2026-09-30): fresh ZH 簡金生 + EN ‘Jin-Sheng Jian’ grep confirms the same six work hits (#81, #234, #59, #272, #378, Who’s Who #2229) — all facts already absorbed. One id-resolution check this pass: memoir #378 is the Chicago Taiwanese Association 50-year account, and its appendix lists 歷屆芝加哥台灣同鄉會會長 — so the 1978 entry is that association’s president; TACL (#272) and the 籌備小組 list remain the LA-based 1982 context, distinct from the Chicago post. No conflict to HOLD; verified-saturated.

Corpus re-scan (slice 10081009-14, 2026-10-09): fresh ZH 簡金生 + EN ‘Jin-Sheng Jian’ grep (with surname-only ‘金生’ sweep) returns the same six work hits (#81, #234, #59, #272, #378, Who’s Who #2229, plus EN parallel editions 272-eng). The surname sweep’s extra hits in #33 and #256 are false positives — 林金生 (KMT-nominated 縣長 candidate) and 鄭金生 (Oklahoma 圖買 supporter), distinct persons, not aliases. No new dates, roles, or orgs; no conflicts to HOLD. Verified-saturated.

Corpus re-scan (slice 10100600-19, 2026-10-11): fresh ZH 簡金生 + EN Jin-Sheng Jian + surname-only 金生 grep across works/articles/sources/events/topics returns the same six work hits (#81, #234, #59, #272, #378, Who’s Who #2229, plus EN parallel editions 272-eng). The surname sweep extra hits in ourjourneys33, ourjourneys256 and the taiwanjustice-net articles are false positives — 林金生 (KMT-nominated 縣長 candidate, also named in the 高一生 case articles), 鄭金生 (Oklahoma 圖買 supporter), and 美金生意 substring noise; distinct persons, not aliases. No new dates, roles, or orgs; no conflicts to HOLD. Verified-saturated.
