Chien Lee (Taiwan composer)

Chien Lee (Chinese: 李健; September 26, 1932 - January 21, 1997),[1] formerly known as Tsu-Chi Lee and also writing under the pen name Ji-Zi, was a Taiwanese composer and music educator. He was born in Haikou City, which was then part of the Hainan Special Economic Zone and is now part of Hainan Province, and he moved to Taiwan in 1950.[2][3] Lee was skilled in composing and wrote many military songs, including "Squad of Heros", "I Have a Riffle", "Night Raid", "Upright and Equal Spirit", and "Song of the Cheng-Kung Hill." He also composed choral music, operas, art songs, children's songs, and Bangdi concertos.[3] These works often reflect the social background against which they were created.[4]
