Early years

Chang was born into an ethnic Hakka family from Zhongli, Taoyuan, Taiwan. At the age of ten, Chang moved to Singapore to study. After a few months, she returned to Taiwan because she "was not able to adapt (to life) there". Her family later migrated to Vancouver, where she attended Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School.

She has been nominated twice for Best Actress at Golden Bell Awards. She also has been nominated twice for Best Mandarin Female Singer at Golden Melody Awards.
