Yunji (Angela) Her
My name is Angela Her from South Korea. I’m 16 year old now. I have
been living in China for 8 years now. One of my passions is singing.

In 2014 a huge disaster took place in my home country that Sewol Ferry
sunk that carried 400 people and took away 300 people’s lives. The fact
that 80% of the passengers are in my age made me feel very bad. Then I
started doing further research in depth and found out that there were a lot
of problems hidden or caused by this disaster. Through thinking possible
problems I would face, I made a video with the song I composed to commemorate those victims from the huge disaster of the Sewol ferry.

Yihsuan (Angel) Lu
Hi! I’m Angel and I’m from Taiwan.
For my personal project I have decided to investigate some factors and
problems that destroy the relationship of a family, I decided to investigate
about this topic because we face family problems almost every day, and I
think it’s necessary to do something to help people get along with their family members well. There are various solutions that have existed in our
world. However I want to create a solution to solve the problem based on
my personal interest. I like composing light music, so for my final product I
decided to compose 3-background music to reduce people’s stress. Because I found that ‘music’ is one of the best ways for therapy. I want to reduce family squabbles by playing my music in a certain environment and
time. The background music can help them calming down their mind and
help them to get along well with family members.
