Jia-Chyi's Bio

 Ah, let's dive into the colorful odyssey of Dr. Yan, shall we? Picture this: a sun-kissed childhood in Pingtung City, with frequent escapes to grandma's seaside haven in Linbian Township. Our protagonist's educational marathon kicked off at the tender age of two – talk about an early start!

In primary school, young Yan earned the moniker "Little Dark One," not for any mysterious qualities, mind you, but thanks to Pingtung's relentless sun turning everyone into walking tans. Middle school brought a dash of rebellion when our hero, in a moment of chivalry, gave an ill classmate a bike ride home. The result? Ten whacks with a paddle and a crushed dream of being the school's model student. Oh, the price of kindness!
