Role in the Community

  • His own life story is held in our corpus: 03 (published 2015-03-24, band B).
  • He also contributed community history as an author: his story of biotech entrepreneur 林福坤, 05 (published 2015-05-27) — documenting another Taiwanese American life in the TAH story corpus.
  • He served as an editor/compiler of 2017 TAHS Publication, listed alongside 周威廉, 周威霖, Edda Huang, 楊遠薰, 陳婉真, 鄭炳全 et al. — so his contribution to the corpus is as a compiler of the movement record, not only as a subject.
  • His authorship in that volume extends past his own story and past 林福坤: John Chiang’s page credits him as the writer of the Part 2 biographical profile in the same 2017 publication.
  • Corpus re-verified 2026-10-08, slice 10070600-22 (ZH+EN five-dir re-run): identical result — own record [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/351-wen-shean-young-e6-a5-8a-e6-96-87-e9-a1-af201503|TAH #351]], authorship of 263. 生技巨人林福坤的故事, and the 2017 TAHS compiler credit remain the only substantive hits; the new 2026 taiwanjustice-net matches on 文顯 are all 「電文顯示」/「簽文顯示」 substring noise, not this person.
  • Corpus re-verified 2026-10-07, slice 10052007-32 (ZH+EN greps over works/ articles/ sources/ events/ topics/): the only substantive hits remain these records plus his editor/compiler credit in 2017-tahs-publication; the taiwanjustice-net matches on 文顯 are substring noise (「簽文顯示」, not this person).

From the record

  • 2024-06-08 — HOLD, not this person (disambiguation record): 美洲台灣日報’s report of the 台美藝術協會 2024夏展 (article 22462, 記者林蓮華, 洛僑中心 2024-05-18/19) names a 畫家楊文顯 — amateur painter, three-generation family support at the opening, 2024 subject 太魯閣 after the 4月3日 earthquake, first job at a power plant near 太魯閣. The hub carries this as a collision risk against this page and rules do-not-merge; the article itself caps the exhibiting painters at 「這屆最高齡81歲」, which conflicts with this page’s Era 1935 (he would be 89 in 2024 and the eldest). Same hanzi, different person, identity unconfirmed — no fact from that record is merged here. (美洲台灣日報 — taiwandaily.net)
