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.

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,
