Role in the Community

  • Preserved family history first-hand: 蔡昆 gathered the whole family and used a Video camera to record his own oral account of his experiences in Japan, including WWII Allied air raids; the family turned the recording into DVDs distributed to each household for preservation. His son 蔡靜輝教授 reported this family method at the 台美人檔案座談會 at the 2015 US-South Summer Camp in Dallas (2015美南夏令會).
  • His own TAH oral-history records exist in the corpus: 33. Qun Tsai (蔡昆) (2019) and 2018.
  • The family’s story-telling continues in the next generation: his son 蔡靜輝 has his own corpus story 10-2019 (2019-10-15) — author identified via the family page’s 靜輝 listing; the work’s own page does not name 蔡昆 as a subject (bibliographic record only), so no relationship claim beyond authorship is made.
  • HOLD: the press-kit snapshot lists “Era: 1919” with no corroborating corpus source; treat birth year as unverified.
  • Name-match leads on the sons (identity NOT confirmed, held as leads only): 蔡靜輝 signs as 北美洲台灣人教授協會會長 in the 2024 solidarity statement Joint TAO statement, 2024-02 — same name and professor title as the son who reported the family’s video-archive method, but no source states they are the same person (HOLD: name match only). Separately, a 蔡靜煌 is listed as 秘書長 of the 台灣人權協會 national roster in 2014-12 — surname-only match to the son 蔡靜煌, no corroborating link to this family (HOLD: unconfirmed).

Family

  • Wife: 李金英
  • Son: 蔡靜輝, 蔡靜煌, 蔡靜燦
