Sylvia Chang’s career has spanned over many decades. She has been an actress, starting in the 70s when she was only 16, moving up to writing, directing and producing. Many of the films she has directed try to defy the normal gender roles. As a well-known Taiwanese female director, she helped defy normal gender roles in the film industry.
Chang is known for trying out different types of roles. She first began performing in theatre productions more than 30 years ago but then took a break to pursue other career options.
In addition to acting, Chang is also a proficient singer. With many popular songs, her music has also become hits for Karaoke. In particular, her song “The Cost of Love” is most commonly sung. She is also known for her song "Childhood".
In her mid-thirties, Chang decided to venture out into a new profession. With her acting experience at her side, Chang took a chance at directing. In 1986, only her second film to direct, “Passion” which she also starred in and wrote, won her the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actress.
Between, now, acting, directing, and singing, she also began a television channel called Go Go TV in 1996. At one point, she was even the head producer of New Cinema City in Taiwan, but discovered she was not happy there and left a few years after joining.
