Role in the Community

  • 228-linked 林宅血案 survivor (1980-02-28): the NATPA founding memoir in the corpus (Our Journeys 69, EN: Our Journeys 69 (EN)) records that on 1980-02-28 — the 33rd anniversary of the 228 incident — 林義雄’s mother 林游阿妹 and his twin daughters 林亮均 and 林亭均 were murdered at the family home; the nine-year-old eldest daughter 林奐均 (Judy) was gravely wounded. The memoir treats the case as a politically motivated killing under the then-surveillance state and notes the speed with which North American Taiwanese groups learned of it and protested to the ROC consulate in Chicago. The same page links her as a subject ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/1557-judy-linton-e6-9e-97-e5-a5-90-e5-9d-87-201703|TAH encyclopedia #1557]], 2017/03).
  • First-person testimony (2019): the corpus holds two of her own written testimonies as primary material — 700. 林奐均的見證與分享 (09/2019) and 702. 林奐均的見證 (10/2019). As memoirs these are the community’s primary record of the 林宅血案’s aftermath from a survivor’s perspective; the TAH directory’s “educator” label understates this role.
  • Music work: the archive holds her 1998 music CD Music CD — corroborating the tah-tables role 音樂創作工作者／作曲家. 林衡哲’s feature 337. 琴韻動心聲 記林奐均的鋼琴演奏會 (2015/09) records her piano recital in the Taiwanese American community, an independent account of her performing career.

Consistency check: the memoir’s “nine years old in Feb 1980” matches the page’s era 1971. No conflict. The slain twins 林亮均／林亭均 are her sisters, distinct from her own daughters listed above.
