He explains that the budgets available to directors in Taiwan to produce documentaries are pathetic. Once when shooting a two-episode documentary over a period of six months in Taiwan, the copyright fees for just one old photo he needed set him back NT $ 7,000-almost one-quarter of his income.
他表示，國內紀錄片導演在拍片所獲得的預算少得可憐，有一次他接拍半年兩集的紀錄片，結果光是為了一張需要用到的老照片，就花了他 7000 元的版權費，幾乎佔去四分之一的收入。
