General
BREAK AND RETURN
She took a break from the sport in order to focus on her studies at Taiwan University in Chinese Taipei. Following her graduation in 2018, she began working in the People's Republic of China and also spent time in the United States of America as a transfer student. She decided to return to competitive swimming in early 2021 when a coach invited her to represent Keelung City at national competitions. "My best results came at the 2013 All Chinese Taipei Games and I hadn't made any improvements since. And it became one of my regrets. If I got an opportunity to fulfil my potential and the coach believed in me, why wouldn't I give it a try? Why wouldn't I try my hardest to make sure I won't have any regrets? That's why I came back." (today, 14 Oct 2021)
