Principal CHIU Kun-liang led the "Collection and Compilation of Kung Le Society’s Scripts" project which was completed after two-and-a-half years of effort. Twelve years ago, Kung Le Society donated scattered and dusty songbooks and reel-to-reel tapes, which were organized by CTFA staff and converted to MD recordings. Under Principal CHIU's guidance, students from the National Arts Academy (now Taipei National University of the Arts) were able to edit and publish a script selection that included five genres: drama, Taiwanese opera, musicals, film, and television. The collection consisted of 73 volumes, approximately 9,500 pages and 5.3 million words.
