Freddy HsiaoFreddy Hsiao used to work for one of Taiwan's top computer games companies. As his family has experienced hundreds of years of conflicts and chaos on this small island, he is determined to create a Role-Playing Game (RPG) with unique Taiwanese characeristics. When his wife became ill with cancer, Hsiao had an amazing experience. He dreamed about a woman in a red dress, who promised to protect Hsiao's wife in exchange of his agreement to design a writing system for a spoken language that has been lost for nearly three hundreds years. After his wife completely recovered, Hsiao set to work and eventually came up with what he refers to as the Great Language Rune -- one that is based on the Taiwanese dialect and uses a series of Cuneiform-style symbols and Han Chinese written characters as its means of expression. Hsiao involves the Great Language Rune in his writing, portraying it as an almighty weapon with ultimate magical powers. He also employs various supernatural elements in his depiction of historical conflicts between Han Chinese and Taiwanese Aborigines. In short, while he may not be looking at the history of Taiwan from a traditional Chinese perspective, he respects history all the same. It is his wish that the Great Language Rune can gain a new life through his writing. Read More Read Less
