Angela Chang (张韶涵) didn't know it would be so hard to turn singing into a career (失业). She went
to many different record companies. But she was always turned down for looking too young and small.
"I'd never had such difficulties before," Chang said. But Chang's talent was finally accepted in 2002.
When she got a piece of work, she cried.
She soon became a star. Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well. She won many awards.
"You wouldn't believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body," said one musician
after hearing Chang sing. "She has a special voice. You can't forget it."
But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too. Chang is also an actress. She has played a role in the
popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay. Many people remember her common-girl parts
in the plays. But acting is difficult. Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired (解雇). Another
time it took her 27 tries to get a scene (一场戏) right.
"I cried when I got back home," Chang said. "But I knew that I wouldn't always fail. You only fail
when you give up."
Now with four albums behind her-Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland,
it's clear that Chang and music were made for each other. As she sings in one song, "I have a pair of
invisible wings (隐形的翅膀). They fly me to the skies and give me hope."
