After spending his fourth year at the so-called "Junior Fourth Class" (a cram school for students retaking high school after their junior year), Chen Yu-Hsun successfully entered the Cheng Kung High School after a grade retention. After failing the university entrance exam, he had no choice but to enlist in the military. Retaking the university entrance exam for the second time at the age of 22, he finally passed and enrolled in the Department of Educational Media and Library Sciences, now renamed as the Department of Information and Library Science, at the Tamkang University. Chen graduated from the Tamkang University in 1989.Chen always has a passion for painting and heavy metal music. It was not until his senior year that he got hold of the opportunity to work as a studio assistant in the Department of Mass Communication at the university, which led him to an internship with director Wang Shaudi. Chen Yu-Hsun found his true passion at the internship. That is, telling stories through visual images. Chen started his first job as a script supervisor for director Tsai Ming-Liang's comedy drama, Happy Motor Shop (1989).Chen shot his first feature film, Tropical Fish, in 1994, after years of working with television series. The film was commercially successful and critically acclaimed, making Tropical Fish one of the most remarkable comedies in the history of Taiwan cinema.Due to his dissatisfaction with the filmmaking environment and his box office failures in Taiwan, Chen had once left the film industry for 13 years. During that time, he worked on many humorous commercial advertisement projects that became well known among television audiences.In 2020, his film, My Missing Valentine, won a total of five awards at the 57th Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards, including Best Narrative Feature, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, and Best Film Editing.
