Life and career

Chang released his third and fourth albums This Afternoon is Very Boring (1997) and Secret Base (1998) with Magic Stone. The song Love Me, Don't Go from Secret Base was a massive hit in Mainland China and Taiwan. Both albums made the China Times Top 10 Albums list for 1998 and 1999 respectively.

Chang appeared in the 1998 film Connection by Fate (超級公民), directed by Wan Jen, it was shown at the Venice Film Festival and won the FIPRESCI/NETPAC Award at The Singapore International Film Festival in 1999.[3]

He collaborated with singer Tanya Chua in the hit song Missing You is a Type of Illness (思念是一种病) from the album. The song was written by Chang and singer-songwriter Chyi Chin.
