Wei-wei was recruited by the China Youth Corps to be a military training instructor, but she had little interest in supervising students, for whom she had much empathy. One time she really raised some eyebrows at the school when she led the female students in a demonstration against the discipline director in order to protest mandatory military training for young women.
受訓結束後，薇薇夫人被救國團徵選為軍訓教官，但是，她對管理學生並沒有興趣，還通常站在學生這邊幫腔，有次還帶著女學生向訓導主任抗議，說女孩子沒必要上軍訓課，學校老師都用異樣眼光看她。
