Hsin always said that education was the most meaningful thing in his career, so he was proud to say that he was the happiest person in the world. He liked reading as a hobby and he encouraged people to read as well. To commemorate Hsin, STUT organized an exhibition room - the "Hsin Wen-Bing Museum" - to display his collection of books.
