Professor of Contemporary Floral Art Design      XJTLU Visiting Professor

Born in Taipei and obtained three master degrees in Biology, Computer Science, and Arts. In the midst of my other professions, I have always been an avid art lover. Art has always been my true passion. I learned from three of the most famous schools from Japan and had travelled to many cities to search and learn from different master instructors of their methods and skills. 

Do you know that in fact, the elegant flower arrangement is originated from China? So I decided to return to my hometown - Suzhou, with the name of love, to continue ingenuity.
