In 1993 Chen returned to Taiwan and along with some Shinji Shumeikai volunteers tried to grow some food using natural farming techniques. As a consequence, she met Li Hsu-ying, a Shinji Shumeikai volunteer from Japan whose family was ethnic Chinese. The two ended up becoming partners in life and work. At first, they cultivated a plot no larger than a family vegetable garden as a hobby.
