ANGELA Chang didn't think it would be so hard to turn singing into a career (事业). She went to many different record companies. But the Taiwanese girl was always turned down for looking too young and small.

"I'd never had such difficulties before," Chang said. "My confidence was smashed (粉碎) to pieces."

Chang's talent was finally recognized (接受) in 2002. When she got a contract (合同), she burst into tears.

She soon became a star. Her first album Over the Rainbow (《飞越彩虹》) sold very well. She won many awards.

"You wouldn't believe such a powerful voice could come from such a small body," said one musician after hearing Chang sing. "She has a special voice. You can't forget it."

Never give up

But the 25-year-old has other talents too. Chang is also an actress. She has starred in the popular Taiwanese TV dramas, My MVP Valentine (《MVP情人》) and At Dolphin Bay (《海豚湾恋人》). Many people remember her ordinary-girl parts in the dramas.

But acting is difficult. Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired (解雇). Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene right.

"I cried when I got back home," Chang said. "But I knew that I wouldn't always fail. You only fail when you give up."

Now with four albums behind her - Over the Rainbow, Aurora (《欧若拉》), Pandora (《潘朵拉》) and Flower in the Wonderland, it's clear that Chang and music were made for each other. As she sings in one song: "I have a pair of invisible (隐形的) wings. They fly me to the skies and give me hope."
