Upon returning to his seat, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and collapsed. Resuscitation was administered but to no avail. He passed away at age 55 in the evening of the same day.

In celebration of this year’s NTU Azalea Festival, the NTU Museums and the Visitor Center are again working together to invite the general public to appreciate the intellectual beauty of the collections and bear witness to a blossoming future of the museums.
