Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

  From Google Translate: "Fu Tong Wong (1948–), pen name Ah Ting, musician, Chinese-American. In his early years, he received professional music education in Guangzhou, experienced the "Cultural Revolution", and then went to the United States to obtain a master's degree in music. The violin learned from Ma Sihong, Makov, etc., and the composer learned from Zhang Jiren, Lu Yan, Lin Shengxi, etc. His operas, compositions and songs have been performed all over the world. "The Legend of Condor Heroes Symphony" began to be conceived in 1976. From conception, writing to production, it took 28 years to complete and was made into a video disc. Divided into eight movements: 1. Reversing Taoism; 8. Reunion at the bottom of the valley.

  The article notes: "在「新故鄉台灣」，友人們所熟悉的阿鏜印象，是一位質樸、誠懇的人，無論開口說話或執筆為文，都流露出一股文人氣息，待人親切又常常笑意盈盈，很難想像他曾經歷過大陸的「文革」災難，相對於今日的寧靜淡泊，大概是阿鏜人生的另一番境界吧！阿鏜，就是黃輔棠，一位知名的小提琴家、作曲家、教育家，一九四八生於廣東番禺。與他的同鄉前輩馬思聰一樣，在文革期間曾冒殺身之險，遠涉重洋到了美國。"
  From Google Translate: "In "New Hometown Taiwan", the familiar impression of Ah Tong to friends is that he is a simple and sincere person. Whether he speaks or writes, he always exudes a literati atmosphere. He treats people kindly and often smiles. It is hard to imagine that he has experienced the disaster of the "Cultural Revolution" in the mainland. Compared with today's tranquility and indifference, it is probably another state of Ah Tong's life! Ah Tong is Fu Tong Wong, a well-known violinist, composer, and educator, born in Panyu, Guangdong in 1948. Like his fellow countryman Ma Sicong, he risked his life during the Cultural Revolution and traveled across the ocean to the United States."

  From Google Translate: "Recently, the famous composer Ah Ting (Professor Fu Tong Wong) wrote a couplet to her after listening to Chen Minglu's CD, which serves as an expert's music review of Chen Minglu: "Music review praises the couplet when she is seventy years old, and her beautiful singing voice is better than that of a virgin; CD selection" Strange song, the spring snow is higher than the clouds!"
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Fu Tong Wong (traditional Chinese: 黃輔棠; simplified Chinese: 黄辅棠) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
