Sang Lin bio
Sang Lin生平簡介
Sang Lin was born in Hong Kong in May 1914. At a young age he developed a passion for coin collecting and began acquiring his collection in the late 1940s. At the same time he was the owner and operator of the Tai Tung Match factory. His hard work led to financial stability and enabled Sang to build a world-class collection, focusing on the coins of China and Hong Kong.
Sang Lin於1914年5月生於香港,少時便對錢幣收藏產生興趣。在1940年代晚期,他開始了收藏錢幣的歷程,那時他已是香港大同火柴厰的業主和經營者。Sang Lin辛勤工作,收入殷實,逐漸建立起自己世界級的高端集藏,主要藏品為中國和香港錢幣。
Sang was a long-time member of the Hong Kong Numismatic Society and in 1965 he began his first two-year term as Vice Chairman of the society. He served as a committee member from 1967 through 1970 and in 1973 started his second two-year term as Vice Chairman.
Sang Lin曾是香港錢幣研究會(Hong Kong Numismatic Society)的長期會員,並於1965年開始第一次擔任副主席,任期兩年。自1967年至1970年,Sang Lin任委員會成員,後於1973年第二次任職副主席。
Sang’s collection attracted local fame and in the 1970s he was approached by the Hong Kong government to display his coins in the government-run museum. Coverage of the display appeared on Hong Kong television and featured interviews with Sang in which he told about his collection and his experiences while acquiring the coins.
Sang Lin的收藏涵蓋了不少香港本地精美錢幣。在1970年代,他獲香港政府邀請,在政府轄下的一間博物館舉辦錢幣展覽。電視節目曾有報道Sang Lin的主題展覽,亦播出了他的專訪,訪談中Sang Lin談及了自己收藏之旅中的種種經歷。
Looking to give his family even more opportunity, Sang moved to Quebec, Canada in 1975, although the stay was brief as he returned to Hong Kong in 1976. Seven years later he returned to Canada with his family, settling in Toronto, Ontario in 1983. His documents noted that he was transferring to Canada over 15,000 numismatic items. These pieces remained stored in 27 sealed wooden boxes until very recently.
為了給家族謀求更多的發展機會,Sang Lin於1975年移居加拿大魁北克,但他並未在那裏停留太久,1976年又回流香港。七年之後,即1983年,Sang Lin舉家再度遷居加拿大,並定居在安大略省的多倫多。根據記載,搬家時他將逾15,000件錢幣收藏品一起轉移到了加拿大,這些藏品一直儲藏於27個木箱中封存,直到最近才開封。
Sang Lin passed away in Toronto in November of 2000. He not only leaves a collecting legacy, but he also instilled in one of his grandsons a love of numismatics.
Sang Lin於2000年11月在多倫多逝世。他不僅給世人留下了豐厚的錢幣收藏遺產,更激發了他的一名孫輩的收藏興趣。
