In 1988 he filmed Birthday Gift for Dad, which describes the lives of himself and his older sisters and brothers on the main island of Taiwan. He then asked a relative to take the film back to Kinmen and show it to his parents to give them a better picture of how he and his siblings were living.
民國七十七年，他將自己與兄姊在台灣的生活拍下來，剪成《給爸爸的生日禮物》一片，託親戚帶回金門，讓父母親可以看到返鄉不易的在台子女生活。
