Once while driving through the Yangmingshan mountains north of Taipei he happened across a big field of calla lilies shrouded in thick morning fog, and was inspired to study up on flowers. His studies once prompted him to make a special trip in the middle of the night to Tienwei Rural Township in Changhua County to watch the flower farmers carefully tending to their daisies by the light of electric bulbs.
一回，他獨自開車到陽明山，無意間看到一大片海芋，晨霧迷離，花海、青山相互交融輝映，觸發他對花的好奇和研究，為此，他還曾半夜開車到田尾鄉，看花農細心地點亮電燈泡照顧菊花。
