But this didn't bring complete misery, but instead it helped her to better understand how to use her heart to listen to and understand others.

Though she can't speak, but the "love" in her heart is more intense than anyone else. Zuo Jun (portrayed by Andy Hui) 27 years old. When he was young he was rebellious and playful, harming Shen Shen to become mute in an accident.

To make up for his wrongdoing, he decides to protect Shen Shen from any kind of harm and unconsciously falls in love with Shen Shen. He's convinced that he's the only one who can give her happiness. In the name of love, he blocks Shen Shen and Wei Yi from development and doesn't hesitate to do sinful things. This is all because he wants to keep the girl at his side.

F4 News from Taiwan
The new drama Silence starring Vic Zhou has gone off to a good start
The first press conference was held in July in Taiwan. The photo on the left was Vic answering questions from the press. The photo on the right was him with a co-star, Korea's popular actress Park Eunhye.
"I want to produce a TV series using Asian staff."'
Producer Chai has realized her long-cherished dream of gathering Asia's best
Vic Zhou's long-awaited latest dram has started. The new drama he stars since Mars is off to a good start. Angie Chai, who has produced several F4 TV series, says "I wanted to produce good Asian works with staff from different countries." She has realized her long-cherished dream. The cast is from Hong and Taiwan, the popular Korean actress Park Eunhye, and popular Hong Kong actor Andy Hui. The staff included a Hong Kong production firm. In August, it would start shooting the China part. What kind of TV series will it be? Like the Taiwan TV series 'Giant white tower' starring Jerry Yan, fans are looking forward to its broadcast in Japan. So here are some words from producer Angie Chai on Silence.
F4 [colonoreferals#598527]DRAMA SPECIAL INTERVIEW
=======
She is not only the originator of F4 dramas but is also a leader in Taiwan TV series.
Chai Zhi Ping, Comics Taiwan producer
Angie Chai
=======
We interviewed producer Angie Chai in Taipei. She was busy everyday, preparing for Vic Zhou's latest drama 'Silence.' She talked about her latest drama and her passion for dramas.
Q: TV series 'Meteor Garden' has been a big hit in Asia. Even now it is still receiving great responses. What do you think of its having such lasting influence?
"That's so, isn't it? At the beginning I had never thought that it would have such a great impact. However, 'meteor Garden' turned out to be a big hit and was particularly favored by young people. So Taiwan's TV production industry increases the production of idol dramas and now it has been established as a separate genre. Young people are quickly trained and engaged in the business of TV series. Young actors and staffers have been provided with good opportunities, but they are still not experienced enough. It's still rather difficult to produce dramas at professional level."
Q: Do you have some ideas about it?
"Yes. For example, for scripts, besides those of Taiwan's writers, we have also used scripts written by Korean writers and adapted from Japanese comics. I want to make a go of it together with experienced people from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China. Languages and nationalities don't matter; I want to work together with them to create good Asian dramas."
Q: Have you by any chance already started preparing for it?
"Yes. The latest 'Silence' is produced with international cast and staff. It also includes a Hong Kong production firm and Korean staff."
Q: Is it true that you place great emphasis on dramas you produce carrying messages?
"Yes. Indeed. In the dramas I've produced, each has its own embedded message. For example, for 'Meteor Garden,' the message is that no matter how rich a person is, one can still have true love as long one is sincere. In today's rapidly-changing society, some young people collapse under pressures and some can't get along with their families. For 'Mars', the theme message is how one living in such a difficult society shares precious love with someone else."
Q: What is the theme message of the current 'Silence'?
"For 'Silence,' we each in our lives have our own personal password, a password to open doors. But we don't know what our own personal password is. Modern people live in economically affluent societies. Many of us don't know what we are looking for in life. Some don't know if they will be happy once they reach their goals. Some successfully exert themselves in their professions, but feel very lonely. In our lifetimes, we are influenced by various environmental factors and may feel lost in various situations. But if we just look inside ourselves, we will find our own personal password. As for me, I feel contended and happy as long as I get to enjoy delicious food everyday."
Q: How do you decide on a theme?
"This time, I decide it while discussing with the staff. The character Vic plays is a young master who has everything. Everyone around him envies him. But, one day, he was told that he had only 3 months left to live. Looking back at his life until then, he realizes that nothing he owns is what he really wants. He wants to live a life without regrets. It's a story about him searching for what he really wants in life in the last remaining 3 months."
Q: Has he found what he wants?
"That is a secret (Laugh). When I produce a drama, of course I always want it to be watched by many people. But it's not my utmost consideration. What I consider most important is the message I want to pass. I consider it good if I have the fortune to have one out of ten thousand people feeling something and moved by the drama. It's not possible to produce Meteor Garden-like big hit across Asia in the simple way it was done. But, I absolutely want to once again produce a big hit across Asia, exceeding 'Meteor Garden' and watched by both young and old. It's the goal of our whole firm."
Lastly, to Japanese people who watch "Love Storm", aired on BS TV starting from Sep, the message Chai-san wants to pass is you must be brave when looking for true love.
