He was eldest child of Lin Wen-qin,
the third child in the five brothers in Upper House among the
five cousins. People called him ¡§Third Master in A Zhao Wu.¡¨
He wrote a book ¡§Travel around the World.¡¨ He lost his father
when he was young and was raised by his grandmother Madame Luo.
He died in Japan at age of 76 in 1956.
In return for his grandmother Madame Luo¡¦s kindness, who raised
him up very difficultly, he did his best to treat her well on
behalf of his father, Lin Wen-qin, who died young. He collected
poems of congratulations from members when she was 80 and 88.
Members of Li Club and other men of literature composed 300
poems to convey the congratulations on the longevity of Madame
Luo. We can see his filial piety here.
He cherished the blessings, treated people kindly and was willing
to help the poor. In 1910, he joined the Li Club where he sang
poems and helped develop the cultural and educational businesses.
He established Taichung High School and Lai Yuan High School.
Under the influence of Liang Qi-chao, he endeavored himself
in the nationalist movements in Taiwan. He was once the president
of Xing Ming Club and led his fellow countrymen to plead for
the establishment of Taiwan assembly and organized ¡§Taiwan Cultural
Association¡¨ to fight against the Japanese by literature. After
that, he worked as the consultant of Populace Party and local
autonomy in dedication to the nationalist movements in Taiwan.
Mr. Lin Xian-tang led the democratic and cultural movements
under Japanese occupation and was the representative in the
first Assembly in Taiwan Province. The courage and judicious
judgment he expressed is the rare example in the history in
Taiwan! Later, he went to Japan to cure his headache and died
there. |
