In 2020, he presented his second short film, Taipei Suicide Story, at the Cinéfondation.
In Taiwan, Zhong-Han, a mute young man in his twenties, leads a double life. Working in a family-run restaurant by day, he runs a racket by night on behalf of local gangsters. But when a shady businessman takes over the restaurant, his family and friends are in danger, and Zhong-Han is forced to confront his own gang, as well as the corruption of his country's corridors of power.
