She began weightlifting in middle school. (parenting, 01 Nov 2016)
:
She became interested in the sport after winning a weightlifting competition at a school sports meet. "Initially I disliked weightlifting and didn't want to train because I was the only weightlifter at my school. I was more fond of team sports like basketball, and then I had trouble choosing between track and field and weightlifting. But after I dropped the baton twice in two different relay races and immediately won a gold medal in a weightlifting competition, it seemed only natural that I stick to weightlifting."

Additional Information

General
DONATION
She gave part of her prize money for claiming gold at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo to a hospital and her old school in Chinese Taipei. In 2017 she had donated 1.8 million New Taiwan dollars to Penghu Huimin Hospital in Chinese Taipei, to help fund a new ambulance. "The main reason was my injury before the 2014 Asian Games. On that day the ambulance arrived really late, maybe because of a traffic jam. I couldn't move my leg and it really hurt. I really could feel the pain and despair of a person waiting to be rescued. It wasn't an open injury, with blood spewing everywhere, but you could really relate." (insidethegames, 11 Dec 2021; city543, 15 Sep 2017)

FURTHER EDUCATION
She has studied for a master's degree at Fu Jen Catholic University in Chinese Taipei. (epochtimes, 31 Oct 2017)
