I believe many young people have experienced their first inspiration from watching sports cartoons as kids. When I was eight years old, I watched “Hikaru’s Go” on TV, which started my Go obsession. I decided to become a professional Go player very early. What may set my dream apart, however, is that unlike most who realize their dreams as adults, I achieved my dream at 14 years old. That year, I became a professional Go player through the official channels. Two years later I represented Taiwan for the first time at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games.  At that time, I had no idea that becoming a Go professional would mean giving up further education after junior high school, or start a 15 year lifestyle of global travel.
