Huang Chao-chin

Born in Yanshui Port, Chiayi County, Taiwan under Japanese rule (now Yanshuei District, Tainan), he pursued his early education in Japan and later studied public international law in the United States.

Upon completion of his studies, he returned to the Republic of China to serve in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist government.

He served successively as a staff member, section chief of the Asia Department, and consul general in San Francisco and Calcutta.

He successively served as the managing director of the Bank of Taiwan, the plenipotentiary representative of the Republic of China at the Fifth United Nations General Assembly, and other essential positions.

According to Wu Chuo-liu's "Taiwan Forsythia," Huang Chao-chin initially stated his intention to build a "Liu Mingchuan Memorial Hall" on the Tianli Jiao site on Zhongshan North Road.

After acquiring the land, he secured a substantial loan from the Bank of Taiwan to purchase building materials during a period of inflation.

He then used his position in the Office of the President of Taiwan to repurpose the iron bars used in renovating the presidential palace to construct a dormitory for William C. Chase, the head of the US Military Assistance Advisory Group.

[7] In 1967, Huang Chao-chin erected a monument for the Yanyan Port Public School principal, Sen Rong, to express his gratitude.

To respect the achievements of Speaker Huang Chao-chin, it was proposed that a building of the Provincial Council be used as a permanent memorial.

After Huang died in 1973, given his outstanding contribution to Taiwan's democratization and establishment of the political system, the name was changed to "Chao-chin Memorial Hall.

It encompasses diplomatic negotiations, court proceedings, the application of international law, and the organization of overseas Chinese affairs.

"[12] Former provincial councilor and legislator Kuo Kuo-chi [zh] referred to Huang Chao-chin as the successor to Koo Hsien-jung.

Gu Xianrong rose from humble beginnings to become a wealthy individual, while Huang Chao-chin, who returned with only a suit, amassed considerable wealth.
