Taipei Municipal Zhongshan Girls High School student Peng Liang-yun was born prematurely. Despite being weak physically as a little girl as a result, she has a strong sense of justice. At school, Peng would stand up for and protect fellow students who were being bullied. She also displayed a talent for creative writing.
Today Peng was awarded with the Special Creative Writing Prize at the 14th Daughters of Formosa and 4th Daughters of Asia ceremony, organized by the Garden of Hope Foundation.
Peng has won many prizes for creative writing, including a young student literature prize, prizes for Chinese free verse poetry and prose writing.
