National Central University (NCU), the Huang Ta-Yu Cultural and Arts Foundation, and the Huang Ta-Yu Children's Theater today held an asteroid naming ceremony, where NCU President Hsiao Shu-san presented the asteroid plaque to writer Huang Chun-ming.
Huang Chun-ming is a renowned Taiwanese writer and playwright, whose works deeply portray people's lives and social changes. He has published important novel collections such as "The Sandwich Man" and "Sayonara, Goodbye," and has won numerous important literary awards. His works have also been translated into multiple languages. Huang Chun-ming moved to Taipei in April 1966 and married his wife Lin Mei-yin that year, marking exactly 60 years this year.
Hsiao Shu-san stated that NCU has long been committed to astronomical research, and the Lulin Observatory has discovered many asteroids over the years, bringing Taiwan to the international astronomical stage. Naming an asteroid after Huang Chun-ming this time pays tribute to him and symbolizes the intersection of science and humanities.
Professor Chen Wen-ping of NCU's Institute of Astronomy explained that NCU has promoted the Lulin Sky Survey project, discovering over 800 asteroids to date. Asteroid "Huangchunming (777018)" was discovered by Hsiao Hsiang-yao of NCU's Lulin Observatory and Dr. Yeh Chuan-chih of the University of Maryland. This asteroid has a diameter of approximately 1.9 kilometers and takes about 5.63 years to orbit the sun (orbital period).
Huang Chun-ming shared that his mother passed away early when he was only 8 years old, and he and his younger brother were raised by their grandfather. However, he was very mischievous as a child, and an elder passerby once told his grandfather, "You must take good care of this child, he will either be very successful or very bad (Taiwanese)." Later, when he misbehaved, his grandfather would often repeat this saying.
Huang Chun-ming admitted that he was expelled from school multiple times when he was young, including Luodong Junior High School, Toucheng Junior High School, Taipei Normal School, and Tainan Normal School, eventually going to Pingtung Normal School. When he was about to take the train to Pingtung, he found his grandfather at the train station. His grandfather, though reluctant to part, stubbornly said he was there to check the time. When the train started to move, his grandfather ran alongside the train, waving goodbye to him.
He also took this opportunity today to tell his grandfather, who passed away many years ago, "Grandpa, I didn't go bad." (Edited by Li Heng-shan) 1150408
