Aiya (Zhang Aiya) has always given the image of a sweet girl since her debut. She likes acting and often flew to mainland China to film before the outbreak of the epidemic last year. Last year, because her father in her 90s was dementia, she decided to go back to Taiwan after thinking about it, hoping to spend more time with her family. Although she turned down many mainland drama invitations, for the sake of her family, and the outbreak of the epidemic later, she thought that this was the most correct choice.

After returning to Taiwan, she focused on her life on work, her favorite dancing and sports. Unexpectedly, her mother was diagnosed with cancer and left her in just 4 months, which was a big blow to Aiya. Aiya didn't reveal much about her mother's affairs, and she kept telling herself to be strong every day. She said she was very dependent on her mother before, but now that her mother is gone, she has to rely on herself for everything. She is like a little girl who suddenly grew up overnight and has to study harder in many things.

Recalling the time when my mother was fighting against the disease, Aiya turned down a lot of work, and only wanted to be by her side. She also tried various dishes. Through home exercise and healthy diet, she developed a good figure. Because of this, she was favored by manufacturers and became the brand sports control ambassador. Aiya said: "I am really grateful to the manufacturers for giving me the opportunity and understanding of me. They not only delayed the product launch time, but even on the day of shooting, I received a notice from my mother that I was critically ill, but also allowed me to complete my work at the fastest time and could go to the hospital as soon as possible."
She said that she used the incorrect way to lose weight in the past, but now she must share her personal experience with everyone: "Don't think about losing weight quickly. It is necessary to adjust diet and exercise, so that you can lose weight healthily." For example, she loves dancing, relying on hard practice during the epidemic, she successfully obtained the initial international license for dance Zumba, and hopes to turn her interests into expertise in the future.
