Did You Know That … ?


  • The late maestro was given the birth name "Guo-dong (國棟),” whereas "Chin-san (靜山)” was a nickname used by his older brother's ex-girlfriend. The photographer adopted the nickname to commemorate his brother, who committed suicide after his girlfriend left him.


  • The master photographer held his personal life and camera in the same esteem; he was once involved in a traffic accident and discovered huddled up against his camera.


  • His youngest daughter, Long Yu-wen (郞毓文), was born when he was sixty years old. His other children include translator Long Yu-xiu (郎毓秀), businessman Long Yu-rui (郎毓瑞), and cruise operator Long Yu-jun (郎毓俊).
