In 1977 he received a full fellowship sponsored by the Ministry of Education to study in the Freiburg Conservatory of Music (Hochschule für Musik Freiburg) in Germany, where he majored in composition. After returning to Taiwan, he began to teach at National Taiwan Normal University in 1981 and, meanwhile, was active in premiering his musical works.
