At the end of World War II, many Japanese who lived in Taiwan were deported, and they had to quickly sell their belongings. It was at one of those sales that Hsu purchased his first violin. He went on to form a musical group when he was a student at a technical school. Playing every day led to strings breaking.
太平洋戰爭結束後，大量在台日人被迫變賣家當、舉家遣返，許文龍因此買到了生平第一把小提琴，並自組樂團，當時他還是技術學校的學生呢。
