In remembrance of Huang Tien-linBy Lu Shih-Hsiang 盧世祥Twenty-one years ago, I telephoned former Presidential Office adviser Huang Tien-lin (黃天麟) to invite him to write an opinion piece for the Chinese-language Economic Daily News. At the time, Huang had just retired as chairman of First Commercial Bank and I had just been hired by the newspaper. Huang later told me that the invitation marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life as a writer. During the 1990s, Huang greatly contributed to the debate over Taiwan’s economic and trade policy toward China, providing concrete research and analysis. During the administration of former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁), Huang served as a Presidential Office adviser for seven years.
