Kam-goãn Chó Gông-lâng, Dare To Be A Fool Boasting About The Cross

Reported by Simon Lin

On November 20, a special birthday party was held for Dr Yang Chiong-yin, the 96-year-old widow of former Rev Dr William Sia, by Taichung Presbytery at PCT’s William Sia Memorial Youth Camp. Elder Hsiao Ray-yi, central committee member of Taichung Presbytery, represented to Dr Yang an accomplished big-sized book,  < Kam-goãn Chó Gông-lângDare to be a fool boasting about the cross – a comic biography of Rev Dr William Sia> , commemorating what Rev Dr William Sia has contributed to Taiwan church and society in his life.

Rev Dr William Sia, nick-named as Taiwan’s Schweitzer, served as a missionary physician, hospital founder and ordained pastor from 1945 after WWII up to his last minute in an unfortunate car accident in 1970. To serve more patients suffered by tuberculosis and black foot disease, also marked historically as the most influential contribution to Taiwan’s west coast medicine,  Rev Dr William Sia expanded his medical service from Nan-tou to cover the far-fetched west coast areas of Taiwan island including Changhua and Pei-men during his last ten’s years ministry.

Having produced many comic biographies for Taiwan church’s pioneering fathers, like John Calvin, Rev MacKay, the couple of Dr Landsborough, Ms Joyce Meredith McMillan, Dr. Frank Dennis, Elder Hsiao Ray-yi remarked that he had always looked forwarded to an opportunity presenting a comic biography to our children and fellow folks about the inspiring stories of Rev Dr William Sia. And now this dream was finally came true thanks to a close cooperation with Mr Chen Chin-hsin, who were an expert of Rev Dr William Sia, Elder Hsiao said.
