Long time no see, I miss everyone at the school!

I wish to thank you all for the chances to work with you, I have leared a lot during those years with Imperial Hotel Management College, and I much appreciate the training which paved my way into the industry.

Let me take this opportunity to share my story to all the students and to give them some words of encouragement.

I traveled back to Taiwan in October 2008, it was a disaster year fill with natural disaster and economic crisis.

I couldn't get a job first, but somehow I found the email of Regent Taipei Hotel's Chairman and I wrote a self introduction letter to him, and received an interview a week later.

That become my first job.
