He moved to Taipei in 2010, and then married to a Taiwanese designer.[4]

Tin Hong's books are well received by the teenage audience. His books are mostly of fantasy and romance, usually touching upon historical issues and exploring injustice in the society.[5] Greatly influenced by Yu Hua‘s To Live, Tin Hong's books reflect on the connections between individuals and history.[5] Ni Kuang spoke highly of Tin Hong's D Series as he finds the topic unique and interesting, covering romance, joy and sorrows, and global issues.[6]
