Led by the third-generation successor Chen Ching-sung, the group's footprints were found all over Hsinchu, Miaoli, Kaohsiung, Pingtung, and Hualien in the period from 1945 to 1983, which was the heyday of the “Hakka Ba-yin” . The Miao-Li Chen Family Beiguan Ba-yin Group is a golden signage of Ba-yin in the Miaoli Hakka community.
