Role in the Community

  • Anonymous early patron of 「台灣之音」 — the founder’s memoir recalls the first US$1,000 donation cheque, signed simply 「廖國仲」, arriving when the phone-line radio service could no longer absorb the collect-call costs from Taiwan; he kept quietly sponsoring it through its first five years and was later honored by New York 同鄉 as 「善事一牛車，講話無半聲」 (Our Journeys — 台灣之音回憶).
  • 紐約針織企業家 — 楊遠薰 wrote his business-and-philanthropy story for the community memoir series (12); he also published a collection of essays/art, 老猴集 (01), matching his TAH “artist” role.
  • Celebrated as a community exemplar — 李彥禎’s essay urging community members to write their own stories singles out 楊遠薰’s biography of 廖國仲 as the opening piece of her memoir collection, naming Liao as his friend and one of the “傑出的台灣人” whose deeds risk being lost because humble Taiwanese are “會做不會講” (2016) — positioning him as a touchstone figure of the LA-era movement memoir tradition.
  • The 2014 memorial-dating conflict with the TAH 「-2005」 death year remains unresolved — see From the record HOLD.
  • 2026-09-23 re-grep (deepen-x slice 09221000-13): SKIP — fresh grep (廖國仲, works+articles) hit set unchanged: own records (#883, 老猴集 #154, 楊遠薰傳 mystories264), 台灣之音回憶 ourjourneys2, 李彥禎 essay ourjourneys264, and the 2021/2024/2025 彭昕 memorial memo (2014 NY 追思會) — all already cited above; no new absorbable facts. The HOLD (TAH 「-2005」 vs 2014 memorial) stands.

From the record

  • 2016-03-13 — TAH encyclopedia entry 「883. K. C. Liao 廖國仲/ 2016/03」 published in the taiwaneseamericanhistory.org story corpus (2016/03; bibliographic record — full text stays in the vault) ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/883-k-c-liao-e5-bb-96-e5-9c-8b-e4-bb-b2-201603|TAH #883, 2016-03-13]]). Absorbed as the reciprocal link for this card’s listed file; the work file carries no quoted speech, so nothing was pasted under Quotes. The 「-2005」 death-year vs 2014 NY memorial HOLD stands.
