About the Artists
In grade school, she liked to read comics in the old bookstalls.
In middle school, she read novels in class, hidden behind the textbooks.
In university, she liked the elective courses more: literature and philosophy.
After retiring, she slowly began to find his interests again.
All of these life experiences — the actions, thoughts, and the things she has seen and the things she has touched — love, people, all of these have become sources of inspiration. Playwriting often stumbles upon accidental sparks.
In 2008, she was the Chair of Toronto’s Taiwanese Hakka Association. To revitalize the association, she began to write Hakka plays for the community to perform, inspiring budding actors and discovering his own passion for writing. Her works include multiple languages: Hakka, Hokkien, Mandarin, and even English, with the help of her friends and daughter. The spark for writing continues to bloom — she hopes for the future: as long as she is alive, she will continue to write plays.
