In high school, Teacher Li joined the biology study group and was part of the ectotherm team, which sparked his growing interest in frogs. At that time, there were only around thirty species of amphibians in all of Taiwan, much fewer compared to insects or other animal groups, making it quicker to familiarize oneself with them. Additionally, Teacher Li found frogs adorable and enjoyed the opportunity to observe them up close, which was truly captivating.

During high school, Teacher Li would catch frogs in the wild to keep and observe, as well as to practice his public speaking skills. Upon entering college to study animal science, he began to receive more rigorous training. He worked alongside Dr. Yi-Ru Yang to conduct research, leading night observations for the public and students, and engaging in educational outreach at various schools. Throughout his academic journey, he accumulated experience through research and public speaking, constantly adjusting to ensure smoother success in future outreach efforts.

Reflecting on his childhood, Teacher Li remembers catching frogs with friends for fun and even using electricity to stimulate frogs and observe their reactions. Looking back, he now recognizes that as animal cruelty. He found that his life's trajectory is a form of redemption for the frogs, and he wholeheartedly commits to the path of frog conservation.
