An inviting target of ridicule, he remains unwavering that he will rise above the sordid realities of the glamorous world of film-making with his determination to be a proper actor rather than a star. So when he is offered a bit part as a cancer patient in a new film, he jumps at the chance to practise method acting, literally getting into his character and inhabiting him through claiming membership of a support group, which reunites him with an old classmate.

The
reaction of the audience was more passionate and welcoming than I have
expected. This was something out of my expectation. They even discussed on the
story with me after film screening. Moreover, the curator of the film festival
and a group of Taiwan directors guided me to taste the food from Taiwan small
food stalls after screening session. The whole trip was such a fruitful and
pleasant one.”

dream after
attending 38th Golden Harvest Awards Film Festival in Taiwan, under the
sponsorship of NAE.
