description Founder of Taiwanese-based Chimei company, Hsu Wen-lung is an eminent figure in Taiwan, especially in high technology, patronage and political fields. Even if he was not very well off in the beginning, he eventually set up a financial and industrial empire, while differing greatly from his rivals because of the peculiar way of managing Chimei. Apart from the factory, Hsu decided to invest into patronage of arts, hospitals, environmental and educational programs. In his actions, the books he wrote, in official and private declarations as well, Hsu repeatedly manifests that he feels a profound admiration for Japan and for some well-known Japanese who tended to develop Taiwan during Japanese Rule (1895-1945). In this paper we begin with a presentation of Hsu and Chimei, then we explain what kind of ties he built with Japan through the firm, through his activities of patronage. Afterwards, we present how Hsu has been influenced during his youth by the bushidō, the Japanese “traditional” moral code, and how he tried to spread this philosophy in all Chimei’s activities.
