Chang was born in Xiluo Township, Yunlin County, Taiwan. He started his philanthropic works as a voluntary teacher in impoverished areas of Taiwan since he was in high school.
He started off his showbiz career by winning a singing competition while in college, in which Hsiao-Wen Ting was a judge.[1] Since 1989 he has released a string of highly successful albums and is known as the "Prince of Love Ballads" in the Chinese pop world. His name is well known across Taiwan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and mainland China.
Besides singing, Chang's interests include arts, antiques, traveling and water sports, and stage production. He became Taipei's leader in a stage theatre team in 2011.
In 2016, Chang participated in the fourth season of the Chinese reality show I Am A Singer and eventually achieved second place.[2]
