The specter of incest The Puyuma scholar Paolaban, whose Chinese name is Sun Ta-chuan, lightheartedly surmises that the reason he has the surname Sun might be because his mother's cousin, who chose his name, admired the ROC's founding father Sun Yat-sen. Fortunately, his mother's cousin was familiar with all the members of the family, and none of the people in their bloodline ended up with different surnames.
卑南族學者孫大川詼諧地說，據自己的推測，他們家族之所以姓「孫」，可能是由於替他們取姓的表舅很景仰的國父孫中山的緣故。表舅熟悉所有家族成員，因此沒有發生直系血親不同姓氏的情況。
