Founder
Shi Wen-long (許文龍) set up the Chi Mei Museum, because he wanted to complete his childhood dream. He is known for his collection of antique violins — Stradivarius, Guarneri del Gesù and Nicolo Amati. He is not only good at managing the company but also at playing the violin. He had performed publicly many times. Because he loves music so much and wants to improve the level of classical music in Taiwan, he founded the Chi Mei Cultural Foundation and provides a scholarship for developing artists.

“Hail, hail, plump paunch, O the founder of taste
For fresh meats, or powdered, or pickle, or paste;
Devourer of broiled, baked, roasted or sod,
And emptier of cups, be they even or odd;
All which have now made thee so wide i’ the waist
As scarce with no pudding thou art to be laced;
But eating and drinking until thou dost nod,
Thou break’st all thy girdles, and break’st forth a god.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
