Furthermore, Chenbro's steadfast commitment to unwavering integrity has nurtured deep bonds of trust with customers, partners, and suppliers. This has established uncharted standards of excellence in the industry.

The journey into the realm of design and artistry began with a fortuitous encounter that led to profound self-realization. After three decades of traversing vibrant landscapes and meandering pathways in distant territories, I found myself contemplating the enduring path that lay ahead. A poignant experience ignited a deep yearning to return to the tender embrace of my homeland, seeking solace in the place that holds my heart. In a moment of unwavering clarity, I resolved to dedicate my efforts to my country.

Amidst the contemplation of the myriad challenges involved in establishing manufacturing facilities overseas and transferring expertise from years of custom manufacturing in China, a revelation unfolded, like the unfolding petals of a blossoming flower—a realization that my hometown had always awaited its moment. This epiphany, coupled with a profound awareness of the scarcity of major electronics and communications companies in this region, heightened my perception of the urban-rural dichotomy. This sentiment was further amplified by my involvement in a corporate social responsibility initiative in 2013.

Fueled by an unwavering passion for the industry coursing through my veins, I embarked on a heartfelt quest to discover the perfect site—a place that would reflect my unwavering determination. Serendipitously, my path intertwined with that of Jang-Hwa Leu, the director-general of the Industrial Development Bureau, and together, we embarked on a journey to find the ideal location. Despite prior obstacles, a promising opportunity revealed itself in the serene embrace of the Machouhou Industrial Park.

Strategically linked, it stood as the epitome of a perfect fit. At that moment, I realized the possibility of embracing a vision that seamlessly fused technology, environmental sustainability, and the arts. Guided by the visionary architects at BIG WAY, our extraordinary odyssey commenced.

It is a privilege to spearhead a company that ceaselessly pushes the boundaries, propels innovation, and shapes the landscape of the technological frontier. As Eleanor Roosevelt once eloquently remarked, "Good leaders inspire people to have confidence in their leader. Great leaders inspire people to have confidence in themselves."

"Design," to me, resonates as a singular opportunity to manifest our philosophy and bestow significance upon the world. It is my steadfast conviction that designs should stir emotions and weave narratives. As designers, our purpose lies in imbuing each project with the sentiments that spring forth from the depths of our vision. Every edifice ought to possess its own lexicon, intimately entwined with its distinctive milieu. In my view, transcends the exigencies of the present, extending its grasp into the future to shape an enduring legacy, articulate a myriad of artistic sensibilities, and seize the auspicious occasion to leave an indelible imprint.

My favorite kind of design, at present, is undoubtedly architectural design (with a smile), for it provides a remarkable platform to harmonize the realms of creativity and technology in the most exquisite manner conceivable. Whether it be pioneering servers or acclaimed factories, I relish the opportunity to craft spaces that not only captivate the senses but also etch an indelible mark upon the hearts and minds of all who encounter them. Chenbro's resplendent Factory stands as a resounding testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and the art of storytelling through design. It boldly declares, "Let us showcase to the world the limitless potential that lies within us!"

A "good" design, in my perspective, is one that seamlessly integrates functionality, beauty, and purpose, resulting in an extraordinary synthesis that resonates with the human spirit. It is a design that embodies harmony and balance, creating spaces that inspire and uplift. A truly exceptional design goes beyond mere aesthetics and fulfills the needs and aspirations of its occupants, enhancing their lives and fostering a sense of connection to their surroundings.

It is an embodiment of principles that transcend time and trends, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire future generations. In essence, a "good" design is a testament to the power of architecture to shape and enrich the human experience.

Our design style at Chenbro, exemplified in the Chenbro Factory is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and a harmonious relationship with nature. It embodies the principles of organic architecture, seamlessly integrating the built environment with its surroundings. The factory stands as an iconic symbol of the company, instantly recognizable and reflective of our core values without the need for overt branding.

The impact of our country's rich cultural heritage on our design process was indeed profound. From its very inception, we were imbued with an ardent drive to seamlessly integrate the essence of the local culture and artistic traditions. This was an endless source of inspiration, fueling our ability to forge a harmonious union between time-honored tradition and cutting-edge innovation.

One fine morning in March, engrossed in my morning read, I caught sight of Sherry and Joyce approaching, brimming with news. The exhilarating announcement of our triumphant victory in the esteemed 2023 MUSE Design Awards, akin to the architectural world's illustrious Oscar, filled our hearts with uncontainable joy. As Platinum Winners for the distinguished Sustainable Living / Green sub-category and recipients of gold in both the Office Building and Factories & Warehouses sub-categories, our spirits soared with pride.

This steadfast commitment to innovative and environmentally conscious design propelled us to enter this project, as it epitomizes our unwavering mission to craft spaces that not only uplift the well-being of our employees but also serve as beacons of positive impact within the surrounding ecosystem.

A significant challenge for us was finding the right team, the combination of fluctuating building material costs, and the large scale of the project. Completing such a massive undertaking within a year required finding the right team and securing suitable land. The situation was like putting together a puzzle. Despite the fact that we had all the pieces, they were not in the right places, and we had to figure out how to fit them together economically and practically. Securing the right team and land was the first step in bringing our project to life. We successfully established our new chassis manufacturing plant in my country with meticulous planning and consultation.
