She switched to boxing from wrestling at age 14 after moving to the main island of Chinese Taipei. (Public Television Service Children's Channel YouTube channel, 17 Sep 2018)

Growing up on the Matsu Islands in Chinese Taipei, she began wrestling as a hobby. She then met coach Ke Wen-Ming, who was impressed by her talent and convinced her to switch to boxing. "My parents always fought when I was a child. I wanted to step in when they were fighting so neither of them would get hurt." (toeicok.com.tw, 01 Jan 2015; chinatimes.com, 03 Oct 2013)

General
TRAINING WITH BOYS
She moved to Hsinchu in Chinese Taipei at age 14 to start training in boxing, and on arrival discovered that she was the only girl in the team. "[The] good thing about training with the boys is that they can make you stronger very quickly. The other good thing is that they can very quickly [help] you improve your technique and tactics. In the process of playing against boys, you may cry, you may experience too much pressure, you may just collapse. [But] it's because I've been practising with the boys that I've slowly started to be able to, even if I don't do something well today, grit my teeth and keep going through it." (tokyo2020.org, 19 Mar 2021)

Milestones

She became the first boxer from Chinese Taipei to win a gold medal at the world junior championships, claiming victory in the middleweight category at the 2013 edition in Albena, Bulgaria. (SportsDeskOnline, 19 Aug 2019; toeicok.com.tw, 01 Jan 2015)
