Updates
Hi, I'd like to suggest the following updates to the article, complete with sourcing.

In the Philanthropy section:


 * Chang has personally responded to natural disasters and emergencies through her role with TSMC, leading the foundation and TSMC employee volunteers in the support of underserved women, children, and seniors as well as education and environmental protection. Her work also focuses on energy conservation and technical and vocational education.  In 2021, Chang established three solar power stations for the Ruifu Education Center in Tainan in collaboration with Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che, Taiju Group Chairman Wu Yigui, and National Cheng Kung University President Su Huizhen, and installed powr-saving LED lights in 32 schools in Pianxiang township as part of a “green energy for public welfare” model to provide social welfare organizations with reduced costs and sustainable growth.
 * Chang's work also focuses on bolstering technological and vocational education in rural communities, and encourages student participation and self-confidence with leadership activities and skill-building such as cycling, mountain climbing and drumming as part of a collaboration with the After School Association of Taiwan.  Chang has collaborated with the Boyou Foundation, which aims to narrow the educational gap between students in urban and rural areas, and her work is supported by Lai Qingde, former mayor of Tainan. In 2021, Chang launched a Technical Vocational Training initiative in partnership with LOHAS and the Yunlin County Government which equipped students of a remote township with the tools to grow and sell champignon mushrooms.
 * In 2012, Chang led TSMC's establishment of a new tea plant in the mountains of central Taiwan as part of an effort to help Alishan’s indigenous people rebuild the region following Typhoon Morakot in 2009. In 2014, Chang led an on-site relief team in Kaohsiung following the gas explosions. In 2018, Chang visited the site of the 6.0 earthquake in Hualien County to comfort the victims and arranged to bring 700 members of TSMC staff to the area to promote tourism, and later planned eight more trips to revitalize the area. In 2021, she created and ran a campaign through TSMC to provide COVID-19 relief to India's hospitals, and to set up contactless testing stations throughout Taiwan. Later that year, TSMC also jointly donated 15 million doses of the BNT vaccines to Taiwan with Foxconn, the Yongling Foundation and the Tzu Chi Foundation, with Sophie Chang representing the company upon the arrival of the first 930,000 doses in Taiwan. Also in 2021, she initiated a donation of 1,200 uniforms to firefighters who responded to the Taroko Express train derailment as part of an allocation by the TSMC foundation to help improve firefighters' equipment across the country.
 * Chang also serves as a public speaker, and gave the keynote speech at the 2020 International Women's Day Forum. In April 2021, she held a press conference at the Far Eastern International Hotel in Taipei to discuss TSMC's charitable accomplishments and to encourage other enterprises to pursue philanthropy and volunteerism. In 2022, Chang was invited to join Caixun’s ESG forum to discuss public welfare.

In the Art and writings section:


 * In 2021, Chang partnered with designer Wang Chen Tsai-Hsia to turn two of her paintings into clothing items as part of Shiatzy Chen’s spring 2022 fashion line. The items were included in the one-month "Zhu Yun" exhibition in Zhongshan, with proceeds donated to the TSMC Charity Foundation. Chang also collaborated with Wang, the Tzu Chi Foundation and Chen Wenqian to create and deliver personal silk scarves to Syrian refugees and war victims in 2022.

In the Recognition section:


 * In 2021, Chang was awarded the Cultural Association Medal by the Taiwanese Ministry of Culture.
