It starts at age five, with a younger sister born with a congenital heart condition and three hundred days a year spent home alone; in fourth grade he borrowed a copy of Flash from school and drew for an hour or two every night; a sixth-grade entry to the education bureau's environmental animation contest took only an honourable mention, so he dug in harder. In his second year of junior high a poster for the fifth Acer Digital Creation Award made him want to prove that play could amount to something, and to buy a laptop with the prize; he won first prize. He entered again in his exam year and won again, then, newly at Jianguo High School, squeezed the seventh award's piece in before mid-terms and took the jury grand prize. He ends by saying he is glad he did not win the grand prize the first time, that the laptop never got bought, and that the contests gave him something worth far more. - First-person account - Acer Digital Creation Award Sources [Open the original page ↗︎](https://mypaper.pchome.com.tw/adc_hunter/post/1322327010) [獎金獵人 PChome 新聞台 ↗︎](https://mypaper.pchome.com.tw/adc_hunter/post/1322327010) Related records [→ Bounty Hunter hall of fame: the hunter who played his way to a dream](https://cheyuwu.com/lab/2013/#lab-bounty-hunter-profile-2011) · The second post of the same evening (Documented connection) [→ 5th Acer Digital Creation Award, junior high first prize: Computer vs. Power](https://cheyuwu.com/lab/2013/#lab-acer-5-computer-vs-power) · The first prize in the account (Curatorial theme) **CHE-YU WU · PRESS** 2011-07-24 Interview 2011-07-24 · Published Taken from the post date. ### Bounty Hunter hall of fame: the hunter who played his way to a dream A column on the contest-listings site Bounty Hunter.
