I grew up in a small family-owned plastic factory in Tainan, specializing in directing and scriptwriting. I prefer using images to express intimate feelings that are difficult to put into words, which is the reason why I keep on creating.

承載著人生滋味，在路上穿梭奔馳。不捨的，是老車負荷著家人的甜蜜記憶；珍惜著，為生計打拚奮鬥的過往辛勤；看見了，走街串巷賞台南地景風貌；喚醒吧！那發人深省的思索；才回首，望向更好未來的選擇。
I grew up in a small family-owned plastic factory in Tainan. In my childhood memories, my grandfather often drove his truck to take me along for deliveries. On holidays, he would drive the family in his van for outings, which I often reminisce about those times. However, as my grandfather passed away while the vehicles aged, and the plastic industry declined, my father sold both vehicles due to practical considerations. I felt deeply saddened, as if those two vehicles had taken away my childhood. I often wonder why we always prioritize practicality over emotions. I wish to change this dynamic, but I've realized that in this society's structure and amidst technological advancements, no matter how much we struggle to halt, we will ultimately be pushed forward.
