TC Lin

Thomas Christopher Locke, later known as TC Lin or Lin Dao-ming (Chinese: 林道明), is a Taiwanese filmmaker, photographer, and writer. A former U.S. citizen, he renounced his U.S. citizenship to naturalise in Taiwan as a citizen of the Republic of China in 1994. He is best known for his 2003 book about his service in the Republic of China Army, Counting Mantou.

Early life

Locke is of white American and native American ancestry. He grew up in Texas, Colorado, and Florida before moving to Virginia to attend Washington and Lee University. He started getting seriously interested in photography at the age of 16, when he received a single-lens reflex camera for his birthday. He first came to Taiwan in 1988 to attend the Chinese-as-a-second-language program at Tunghai University in Taichung. He quickly decided after his arrival that he wanted to settle on the island, and after a brief trip back to the United States to graduate from Washington and Lee in 1991, he returned to Taiwan, this time to the Hsinchu family home of Lin Yi-ping, a good friend of his from Tunghai University.

Tự Đức

Emperor Tự Đức (22 September 1829 – 17 July 1883) (full name: Nguyễn Phúc Hồng Nhậm, also Nguyễn Phúc Thì) was the fourth emperor of the Nguyễn Dynasty of Vietnam and reigned from 1847–1883.

Biography

The son of Emperor Thiệu Trị, Prince Nguyễn Phúc Hồng Nhậm was born on 22 September 1829, and succeeded his father on the throne, with the reigning title of Tự Đức, but family troubles caused his era to have a violent start. Thiệu Trị had passed over his more moderate eldest son, Hồng Bảo, to give the throne to Tự Đức, known for his staunch Confucianism and opposition to foreigners and innovation. As a result, and due to the repressive policies of the previous Nguyễn Dynasty emperor, there was now a great deal of dissatisfaction with Nguyễn rule and a legitimate royal figure to rally this opposition.

Rule

Conflict with Hồng Bảo

Prince Nguyễn Phúc Hồng Bảo became the leader of a rebellion against Tự Đức, consisting of Confucian scholars who were angered that the family hierarchy had been dishonored (by passing over the eldest son) some remaining supporters of the Lê Dynasty (who many still considered the legitimate dynasty of Vietnam) as well as the usual peasants angry over Nguyễn taxation and the usual corrupt mandarins as well as the Roman Catholic missionaries and Christian converts who had been so persecuted by Minh Mạng and Thiệu Trị. With swift military force, Tự Đức suppressed the rebellion and was set to execute his brother, but was dissuaded by his mother, Dowager queen Từ Dũ, and Hồng Bảo killed himself in prison.
