After he got cable TV at home, his favorite shows became the archaeology programs on the Discovery channel. When he saw an advertisement seeking students for a class (sponsored by the Council of Cultural Affairs) to train documentary film makers who would record local culture, he thought that if he only knew how to use a camera, he could make a visual record of the cultural artifacts.
家裡接上有線電視後，最吸引他的就是經常播放考古紀錄片的探索頻道（dis-covery）。八十五年當他看到文建會培訓地方文化紀錄人才的電視招生廣告時，只是想如果自己會用攝影機，就可以把文化遺址拍下來。
