She was diagnosed of Wilms tumor at six years old, and subjected to three operations and five times of chemotherapy in three years.

She often sold her paintings for donation, or sent to her families, teachers and classmates, showing her kindness and honesty; with every possible painting elements and types, her paintings reflected her confidence of fighting the cancer with vital force and enthusiasm.
      In her short life, “we cannot decide the length of our life, but we can determine its abundance; we can not predict the danger of tomorrow, but we could make full use of today”. In particular, Lily’s parents Huang Yung-Hui and Tsai Su-Er sold some of her paintings to raise the funds of “e-network for cancer children”, thus bridging the gap of international medical information websites.

      Is it worthy for me to search for the blue sky while casting off the heavy shel 
      While the wind flies, I cannot feel the pain, 
      I want to climb up to wait for the sunlight on the face, 
      With big dreams under the small sky, the heavy shell covers the expectation, 
      I want to climb up and fly high on the leaves, 
      I will have my own sky in disregard of the tear and sweat.
