Philosophy:

"The more important the situation is, the more calm I need to be. Nobody can stop me from flying, rather, it's whether I have the will to do it. Opportunities are for the ones who are ready, even though sometimes being ready doesn't guarantee success." (Instagram profile, 23 Jun 2023)

General
FOCUS ON LONG JUMP
He competed in the 100m sprint at university and national level in Chinese Taipei alongside the long jump. However, in 2022 he decided to focus exclusively on the long jump. "The 100m sprinters at international level basically have competed in 100m since their childhood, and I only compete maybe once a year, so my experience is certainly lacking. They probably know how to run three rounds of races, but I only know how to run one. It may even affect my performance in long jump." (sportz, 13 Feb 2023; wowsight, 14 Dec 2021)
