Role in the Community
Remembered by the community as the PSA inventor: the story corpus carries a 2021 memorial essay titled 悼PSA發明者王敏昌 (2021-08-17), identifying him as the inventor of PSA and marking him as deceased by that date — 08.
Self-deposition in the record: he wrote his own autobiography for the corpus — 01 — and a memoir on his wife 葉秀卿 (with English version “A Fated Relationship: Until We Meet Again in Heaven”) — 09.
TAH Who’s Who record: bibliographic profile #696 (2015-11) — 11.
Community memorial record: the corpus preserves 陳隆在王敏昌追思禮拜的訪談 (2012/8/12) — an interview with 陳隆 at his memorial worship service (published 2016-01-14) — 08.
HOLD: conflict on death date — memorial-service interview dated 2012/08/12 vs memorial essay 悼PSA發明者王敏昌 dated 2021/08; corpus holds no corroborating date, never auto-merged.
HOLD: the PSA-inventor attribution exists only in the memorial essay’s title; the corpus holds these as bibliographic records only (full text stays in the vault), so no further detail was absorbable and the claim is not independently corroborated here.
