He is also a scholar dedicated to German literature and especially to Heinrich Heine studies.

In the 1970s, he was very active in the Tangwai Movement or Democracy Movement.

Brewster Martin Higley VI (November 30, 1823 – December 9, 1911) was an otolaryngologist who became famous for writing "The Western Home."

Zu Mantua in Banden (also known as the "Andreas-Hofer-Lied") is one of the most popular folk songs and, since 1948, the official anthem of the current Austrian State of Tyrol, i.e. the Northern and Eastern part of the former County of Tyrol.  The Landtag assembly of the Italian South Tyrol province in 2004 by majority has rejected its adoption with regard to the Italian-speaking minority.  It is however, like the "Bozner Bergsteigerlied", an unofficial anthem of the German-speaking community. "My Belarusy" (Belarusian: Мы, беларусы (My, Bielarusy) ; "We Belarusians") is the unofficial title of the national anthem of Belarus and the first line of its lyrics.  Officially, "My Belarusy" is titled "the State Anthem of the Republic of Belarus" (Belarusian: Дзяржаўны гімн Рэспублікі Беларусь , Russian: Государственный гимн Республики Беларусь ).  The anthem was originally written and adopted in 1955 for use in the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic.  The music of the Byelorussian SSR anthem was composed by Niescier Sakałoŭski and the lyrics were written by Mikhas Klimkovich.  After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the music composed by Sakałoŭski was kept and the lyrics were discarded.  New lyrics, which were written by Klimkovich and Uladzimir Karyzny, were adopted by a presidential decree issued on July 2, 2002.  The lyrics of the anthem now sing of a friendly Belarus, honoring past military battles and looking forward to the future.  The music was kept due to the historical connections it has to Belarus.
