Bio
I like to start from scratch; during such periods, the achievement and miracle visible is much more than you can imagine.   Since 2008, I made up my mind becoming a freelance translator, starting my favoriate translation career.  With 10 years operating international trade (1997-2008), I began treating translation as product, tasks as orders, delivery without booking sea/air shipment as long as your local network works. 
I pride being a translator in Taiwanese Mandarin Traditional Chinese, and always believe that human translation leads all the way in this world.  The potentiality of human mastering texts is always on top of the translation industry.  Who says AI leads the world eventually? No, how you will be like depends on how you think yourself from now.
I was born as the only child in a core family.  My father was a public servant in New Engineering & Construction Division, Taipei City Government who took charge in designing bridges, roads and executing urbanization plan. I was taught to be integral, punctuated for all as what my father had shown to me during his life.  My father did nothing causing adverse effects on his dignity such as being gifted or bribed by subcontractors for potential benefits might exist in new construction projects, although it made him be disliked/riveled by colleagues, including the boss.  He passed away 13 years ago, what and how he did to me is thankful and is unforgettable, even continued in my life ceaselessly. 
With integrity, responsiblity and punctuation, I have been affirmed by all of my bosses historically, including the first trading company after graduated from English Department, Tamkang University in 1997 where I learned what a normal triangle trading mode shall be and that was the company I began to build channels and relationship with global customers, basing that I launched a dialogue-like way with them. Thereafter, I worked in several companies including being an independent purchasing manager with a US company which plays a supplier role in CASINO market where I worked via Email with him for four years roughly in Taiwan, during then, I worked with suppliers in Pacific-Asia region including China, Japan, Korea, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, with which I learned to identify Simplified Chinese texts and dialect expression and also entered into distributorship/exclusive agent contracts/agreements in English as per request of clients overseas.  All above matters became foundation of current career and it never ends.
