P.S. I made this animation myself, in case you see it elsewhere.  It's from Vivian's Undefeatable Lover Karaoke VCD, which I strongly recommend anyone to purchase.

Article in China Times Weekly, February 1995.

Insightful on how Vivian was treated and how she reacted to the media around that time.

Article in Vogue Taiwan, August 1999.  

It's pretty informative on Vivian's experiences before she became popular in Japan. 

Article from unknown magazine, about 1999.

Overlaps with the Vogue article, but gives a neat timeline for her work in Japan up to 1999.  Note how Vivian left out her controversial photobooks and movies in this short interview.

Article in Amy magazine, Hong Kong, February 2002.  

A short but sweet interview.  Offers insight on how Vivian talks in person.

Article in Jasmine magazine, October 2002.

Not a long article but accurate and up-to-date perception of Vivian.

Article in Vita magazine, June 2003.

Vivian gives tips on how she stays cute.  Good articles for the girls :)

Article in Marie Claire magazine, September 2003.

A good and truthful interview in which Vivian talks about what she values in career and romance.  You can definitely see how Vivian has matured and changed if you compare this article to the earlier ones translated in this section. 

A timeline presentation of Vivian's career so far.

 

Translation for and notes on lyrics in Jai Ban De Tian Xi (Disguised Angel) album.

English translation of lyrics on Vivian's Disguised Angel album (STILL my favorite Mandarin album of Vivian's).  The notes are now on a separate page and have been added to a bit.

P.S. Definitely buy this album if you can.  The lyrics pages were all printed from Vivian's handwriting and they're adorable with her own little drawings.

 

Sensational: 
Vivian's video clips in the Japanese TV have been scientifically investigated 
in a German Institute of Japanology
