Raised in a typical southern Taiwanese family with many relatives. His paternal grandparents run a local "Douhua" shop. Since both parents worked, he spent much time with his grandparents and helped at the shop. The family mostly speaks Taiwanese Hokkien rather than Mandarin, but due to the influence of the great-grandparents who were educated during the Japanese colonial period, his grandparents spoke Japanese and lived with Japanese influences. Raised by such grandparents, he grew up feeling a vague connection to Japan. Growing up as the grandson of a restaurant owner in the "Gourmet City of Tainan," he came to feel that "food makes people happy" and wanted to become a chef who makes people happy and own his own shop. Therefore, he chose a food-related path in university (Nutrition, Food Science, Life Science, Health/Hygiene). After graduation, he trained in the kitchens of famous local hotels and restaurants. When he was feeling lost in life due to the intense labor typical of the food industry, a close friend from his student days invited him, saying, "I'm thinking of going to Japan on a working holiday, want to come?" He came to Japan with that friend. The two chose Kyoto, which is called an ancient capital like their hometown Tainan, and began living there. He found a part-time job at a Taiwanese dessert shop and started working. Using what he has learned, he finds joy in making Japanese people smile with delicious Taiwanese food every day. Recently, he has been thinking, "I want to open my own Taiwanese dessert shop in Japan someday."
