Role in the Community

  • TAH encyclopedia record (three entries, all bibliographic records in the vault): [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/artist61-shante-shawsean-chen|TAH #61 陳善哲 Shante Shaw(Sean) Chen]] (2016-03-25), [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-870-shante-shaw-chen|TAH #870 Shante Shaw(Sean) Chen 陳善哲]] (2016-03-06), and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/52904|TAH #209 Shante Shaw(Sean) Chen 陳善哲]] (2019-01-02). An earlier revisit pass recorded 870 as having no vault work pages — that was incorrect; both pages exist and are linked here.
  • Family in the movement record: his father 陳哲仁 (Dr. Donald C.J. Chen, ENT physician in the Washington D.C. area) is documented as the founding president of the Washington D.C. chapter of 全美會 (World Association of Formosan Associations) in the memoir record [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys76|Our Journeys #76]], alongside other D.C.-area Taiwanese physicians, and appears in the family photo album [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/photo-albums-activities-111|TAH #111 Family Life of Dr. Donald C.J. Chen and Mrs. Enchin Chen 陳哲仁醫師與蕭永真女士的家庭生活照]] with his mother 蕭永真 (Enchin Shaw Chen) — whose own entry is [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-473-enchin-shaw-chen|TAH #473]]. His D.C. upbringing is therefore rooted in the first-generation Taiwanese professional community there.
  • No first-person memoir or bylined community narrative by/under Shante Chen himself was found in the corpus (works/articles/events/topics) beyond the three TAH encyclopedia records above.

Lyrics (EN) 
[Intro]
(Instrumental, playful and bright)
Yeah, yeah
Marvel on the wall

[Verse]
From Washington, D.C. he rose
A designer with a story untold
Carnegie Mellon, hands that flew
Turned sketchbook dreams into something true

[Chorus]
Shante Shaw Sean Chen!
Pages come alive, the hero gets his name
Iron Man, the Nova race
Taiwanese-American, winning the race
Panel by panel, color and light
He draws a bridge from dawn to night

[Bridge]
Comic book legend, smiling bright
Iron Man and Nova taking flight
A family he holds so near
Chen the artist, we cheer, cheer

[Outro]
Shante Shaw Sean Chen
The artist the comics will remember
(Outro fade)
