Chang Hsiu-ching Recalls Early Career Struggles, Thanks Daniel Lo for Making Her a 'Woman Behind the Scenes'

(CNA, Taipei, May 20, by reporter Hung Su-tsin) Singer Chang Hsiu-ching recently shared her journey to stardom on a program, recalling how artist Daniel Lo often brought her onto shows. However, at the time, her appearance was not considered outstanding, so she had to hide behind a curtain to sing. She jokingly said she was grateful to Daniel Lo for making her a 'woman behind the scenes.' Chang Hsiu-ching recently appeared on the singing show 'Singing for You,' hosted by Hsu Chih-hao, Tu Hsin-tien, and Li Tzu-sen, to promote her new album 'Ge Tan' and her 'Spicy Girls Arrive 2' concert. According to the show's press release, Chang Hsiu-ching said Daniel Lo was a key figure in her successful debut. 'He is my benefactor brother. I was an ugly duckling weighing over 70 kilograms with a strong Taiwanese accent. When he saw me, he was stunned and said, 'Wow! How can someone look like this? She sings so well, her voice is so good, it's better if people don't see her.'' Later, Daniel Lo frequently took Chang Hsiu-ching on shows. 'He suggested to the company to cover me with a curtain and place a light below. Since I'm short, my silhouette projected onto the curtain would look 170 cm tall. No one knew what this woman looked like, only that she had a good figure and a great voice. I was his 'woman behind the scenes.'' This story made host Hsu Chih-hao feel sympathetic. Chang Hsiu-ching and Daniel Lo have known each other for over 40 years, and Lo has been present at all the important moments in her life. He will also be a special guest at her upcoming 'Spicy Girls Arrive 2' concert in July. Hsu Chih-hao jokingly asked, 'So this time, will you get your revenge and make him appear as a silhouette?' Chang Hsiu-ching laughed and replied, 'Yes! I will definitely do that!' (Editor: Wu Su-jou) 1150520
