Meng-Yao Chuang lives in Tainan, the first city where Europeans (Dutch) encountered Indigenous people (the Siraya tribe) on the island of Taiwan. With various history resources of the city and her passion, she learns a lot of stories absent from textbooks and deepens the connection with her motherland, Taiwan. After participating in the Sunflower Student Movement in 2014, and observing the 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests, she became more radical to oppose the re-unification of the PRC, and even joined fact-checking NGO activities to counter the information war from the PRC and protect freedom and democracy in Taiwan.
