Looking back on his maturation process, Yang explains, "I tried to say too much in my first work. The film came across as a bit heavy-handed as a result. When filming Taipei 21, I had already learned how to transform hazy concepts and emotions into an engaging story."
「第一部作品要講的話太多，處理手法有些笨拙，到拍攝《台北二一》時，我已經懂得把模糊的概念和情緒包裝成好聽的故事，」楊順清看到自己的成長。
