Chang Show-foong ( Chinese: 張曉風; pinyin: Zhāng Xiǎofēng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiuⁿ Hiáu-hong; born 29 March 1941) is a Taiwanese environmentalist, writer, and politician. She was elected to the Legislative Yuan in 2012 and served until her resignation in March 2013.
Chang is a native of Jinhua, and moved to Taiwan in 1949. She studied Chinese literature at Soochow University, graduating in 1962. [1] She has taught at her alma mater, and also at Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary and National Yang-Ming University. [2] [3] Most of her works incorporate historical events as allegories to modern times. [4]
Chang made her opposition to the construction of a biotechnology park in Nangang District, Taipei known in 2010, [5] having described the area as "Taipei's last piece of green land." [6] [7] Her advocacy featured direct visits to the site, [8] where she favored the retention of the area's natural wetlands as "Taipei's Central Park."
