Jin Ming-wei has been involved in the restoration of Taiwanese folk statuary since the 1990s, accumulating more than 30 years of practical experience and vast familiarity with restoration skills, techniques, processes and materials, ensuring that the restored idols look authentically old while also boosting their value. In 2021, he was registered as a Preserver of Tangible Cultural Assets of New Taipei City for his work.

For almost 30 years, Taipei Capital Ballet has been delighting audiences with their performances, which range from traditional to avant-garde. However, unlike most Taiwanese dance troupes, which focus on modern dance, they have always stuck to ballet. Their ability to choose interesting new dancers and choreographers for the group to collaborate with has kept their performances exciting over the group's nearly three decades of existence.
