Life
Tekchiong's parents Tokuzo Sakai and Thng Gio̍k married in 1902. At the time, marriages between Japanese and Taiwanese were illegal, and Tekchiong took his maternal surname.

Tainan Normal School (now the National University of Tainan), and worked on his family's farm, and then later at a sugar refinery.[3] At that time, he enhanced his knowledge and fighting skills by learning Classic Sinitic language, Four Books and Five Classics, martial arts and Japanese martial arts.[3] In 1927, he passed the formal civil service examination and became a Tainan Prefecture Patrol officer deployed to Tōseki District (東石郡). He married a year later. Tekchiong left law enforcement to pursue legal studies in Japan at the age of 32. He returned to Taiwan in 1943.[2]
