Hsin Chi is very much the intellectual, but also believes strongly in putting his ideals into practice. Before he got into cinema, as an enthusiastic, idealistic youth he organized a youth culture association together with a group of partners. From time to time they staged theatrical performances, which they used as a vehicle for political campaigning.
有濃厚知識份子性格、熱中社會實踐的辛奇，在投入電影工作之前，曾經是個充滿熱情、懷抱理想的青年，和一群夥伴組成青年文化協會，不定期舉辦戲劇活動，藉著舞台劇的演出來從事政治運動。
