He advocated very sincerely towards human rights and freedom in his motherland Taiwan. His endless enthusiasm and fearless courage will be a role model for us to learn and ca...more

We both graduated from K-State but in different years. When we first met in 1986 in Taiwanese American East Coast Conference in Cornell, a strong bond formed between us, due to the love for Taiwan and K-State. In 1987 my family moved from New York to Diamond Bar, CA, we have worked together in countless events because my husband, Evan and I are a...more

May Tim Rest in Peace. （王秋森）

Uncle Tim always had a smile on his face. I remembered going to his house for Christmas boat parade viewing. It was so fun and unforgettable. Uncle Tim was very welcoming to our dragon boat team as well. We held our year end party at his house once. We all appreciate his support and generosity. He will truly be missed.

From Sebo Koh: "My wife and I have fond memories of the time we participated in many activities during the democratization of Taiwan with your father. He’s funny but took his role as a leader in human rights issue very seriously. We are not saying goodbye to your father yet; he will remain in our memory as long as we live. Please forward our lov...more

泰和走了，他於2020 年6月20日早時在睡眠中過世，享年79歲。 王泰和本名王廷宜，他的一生，與台灣的近代史緊緊的環扣在一起。六歲的時候，在台南市大正公園，親眼看到台南律師湯德章在二二八大屠殺中被毫無紀律的國民黨兵殘忍的槍決，在他小小的心靈中留下震撼的記憶。 長大後離開台南的第二故鄉，北上求學，然後出國留學。在前往美國的台獨軍校Kansas State University 後，註定了他走上台獨的不歸路, 從此在海外對抗不公不義的國民黨，每次示威中總會看到他的身影。 美麗島事件，泰和在海外投身台灣政治犯救援的工作，設立「台灣之聲」的電台、投身台灣人權的工作。泰和曾任「台獨聯盟」的委員、FAPA 中央委員以及「全美台灣人權協會」的會長，他最後的人權工作就是聲援遭受政治迫害的陳水扁總統，...more

Hi, everyone: 王廷宜, 工作了一生, 奮鬥了一生, 我(李成奎)與他相知56年(1964-2020), 他走了, 我獨坐房中, 眼淚一直掉下來. 我的第11個夢. [我在家裡, 前門在我的右前方大約十尺的地方,我看到門外有 2個壞人的身影在衝打前門,我的直覺告訴我,他們是要闖進來殺我,我有生命的危險. 我看到一位女性中年家人,像是女兒,在前門內側向外衝擊,與兇手對抗. 我看到一位小孩家人,像是孫兒, 站在女兒與我之間離前門約五尺處, 也就是站在壞人與我之間,像是在保護我的生命. 我心恐懼,大聲叫喊,想要引起鄰居的注意去報警.我大喊三聲後忽然驚醒.] 2020年5月17日, 王廷宜(Ting-Yee Wang, 1941.9.15-2020年6月20日 去世) 兒子Per...more

各位同志 今日得知令人哀傷的消息 慟 ！ 咱的老朋友王泰和先生今晨與世長辭，享壽80歲。 泰和本名廷宜，Tim Wang. 伊是咱従事台灣獨立建國運動作伙打拚逾50年的老同志，也是創立全美台灣人權協會，以來40余年努力不懈的一位堅毅鬥士，在戒嚴時期，𢑥整被國民黨政權點油作記號的黑名單並公開出版問世。 為了集結美國主流社會対咱台灣的支持，更創立台灣之友會 Friend of Taiwan,並擴及Tibet 丶維吾爾反抗中國共產黨政府極權統治的人權鬥士共同奮鬥。 又従事文化結盟，廣邀在美國的日本、韓國、菲律賓、Mexico 、Tibet 、維吾爾族及台灣原住民....共同在西來大學展開多元文化嚮宴！ 為了志業傳承，又透過同志廣邀年輕留學生相聚，熱誠培育新進。 為了身體健康熱心高爾夫球運動，...more

Just shocked and saddened to learn the passing of Tim but we can all rest assured that, knowing how dedicated he was, Tim will look down upon all of us to urge us on in our unfinished fight to achieve a new and legitimate nation state in Taiwan--the "Republic of Taiwan", the most endeared goal to him.

泰和兄，謝謝您！ 洪珠美 您走了。 雖然早在三年多前即得知您生病了而且病得很嚴重，然而，也很幸運的醫生給您一種很昂貴的處方。就這樣您好像復活了，我們幾個朋友都很高興，但另方面卻也害怕失去這位好友。從此，Tony, Key 和我相約定每個月一起去探訪和您聊天，我們的朋友羣也會加上Andrew Hsu夫婦和Amy Hsu。 這些朋友裡頭由於我住的地方離您較近，因此，一、二年來我也會開車陪您去台灣會館參加「Friends of Taiwan」的會議，只因佩服於您具有這份執著，您人都生病了仍然不忘服務社團，不忘故鄉的台灣！令我遺憾和抱歉的是您最後的請求（2/18日罷？）要我再送您去會舘開會，我告訴您不要去，因為武漢肺炎，San Gabriel 地區太危險！ 大部分的朋友對您的深刻印象是您致...more

Dearest Ming-Mei, We were sad to hear about Ting’s passing. I understand you were busy using your nursing career skills taking care of him. What a comfort you were to him. That is your nature to love and care of others while sharing the gospel. It’s been about four decades since you both came down to San Diego from LA to treat us at the Ruben E ...more

Dear Perry and Amy, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your father.

I miss Tim Wang. I worked on the Chen Shui-Bian case in 2015, and this is how I came to know him. Although my contact with him was brief, he was one of the more friendly and responsive people to me, and willingly shared my Chen Shui-Bian article (www.kiyasugreen.com/chen.php) to his contacts. He was even wanting to call me on the phone, though I li...more

Then I awoke and looked at my watch. It was 4:15 in the morn...more

13. [我來到一個火車站的候車室,這個候車室很寬大,天花板很高,有點類似Los Angeles Union Station. 我看到四個人身影像:王廷宜及他的三個好友,李,洪及吳, 亦即Wang Ting-Yee Memorial Website上的某張相片中的四個人. 原來這裡是 往生列車(亦稱死亡列車) 的候車室. 王廷宜正在等候他的車次,我與他們四人有些互動, 我沒有看到車子,王廷宜還在等車子,我就醒來.] (July 24, 2020) 我的潛意識倉庫中存有三堆資訊: (1) Perry Wang 告訴我, 他父親往生之前數天 都是睡睡醒醒, 醒醒睡睡, 醒來時就向家人說, 我要走了, 然後又睡著了. (我的夢影射他睡睡醒醒, 醒醒睡睡,在他家中彌留的數天,這時候就是在往生車...more
