Chung Chao-cheng

[5] Chung taught at Longtan Elementary School until 1979,[2][6] switching from Hakka to teaching in Mandarin at the request of the Kuomintang-led government.

During this time, many writers from the Japanese rule period faced challenges with language transition due to the change in political power, starting to learn to write in Chinese again.

Starting from the late 1970s, he participated in various activities promoting and establishing memorial halls for many Taiwanese writers, showing concern for the literary environment and cultural development, including Chung Li-He Museum.

Known as the doyen of Taiwanese literature,[14] Chung's novel The Dull Ice Flower was adapted into a Golden Horse-winning film released in 1989.

[15][16] Chung received the Order of Brilliant Star with Grand Cordon in 2000 from the Lee Teng-hui presidential administration.

Posthumously, the Order of Brilliant Star with Special Grand Cordon was conferred upon Chung, alongside a presidential citation from Tsai Ing-wen.

The Japanese-style dormitory at Longtan Elementary School, where Chung Chao-cheng worked as a primary school teacher, has been renamed as the "Chong Chao-cheng Literature Life Park Resident Workstation".
