Ping was born in Shanghai, Republic of China in 1927, with his ancestral home in Changshu, Jiangsu.

Despite his interests in literature and art since childhood, he studied accounting at Utopia University at the request of his father.

1949

After graduating from university, Ping moved to Taiwan in 1949 when the Communists took over mainland China, and worked for Taiwan Fertilizer.

1954

He founded Crown Magazine and Crown Publishing in 1954, which launched the careers of Chiung Yao and San Mao, two of Taiwan's most famous authors.

He married Chiung Yao and produced films and television series based on her popular romance novels.

In 1954, he founded Crown Magazine (皇冠雜誌) and Crown Publishing (皇冠出版社), later known as Crown Culture (皇冠文化).

To help cover business expenses, he translated English-language novels into Chinese under the pen name Fei Li (費禮), and worked as a disk jockey at a radio station for five years.

1963

In June 1963, Ping became editor of Lianfu, the influential literary supplement of the United Daily News, and held the position until 1976.

He serialized Chiung Yao's novels in Crown Magazine before publishing them at Crown Publishing as monographs.

He and Chiung Yao adapted many of her novels into television series and films, often serving as producers or screenwriters themselves.

Chiung Yao became enormously popular throughout the Chinese-speaking world.

San Mao, another Taiwanese writer whose influence and popularity rivalled Chiung Yao's, was also made famous by Ping's Crown Publishing and Crown Magazine.

Throughout his career, Ping published more than 6,000 books and 784 magazine issues.

He also produced sixteen films.

Ping's first wife was the painter Lin Wan-zhen.

They met when Lin was 19, and married when she was 25.

They had three children.

Their son, Ping Yun, later succeeded him as head of Crown Publishing.

1979

Ping married Chiung Yao in 1979, after an acrimonious divorce with Lin which lasted eight years.

2016

After Ping suffered a stroke in 2016 and lost nearly all ability to communicate, his children had a falling out with their stepmother, Chiung Yao, over whether to continue his intubation.

2018

In 2018, Lin published a memoir in which she accused Chiung Yao of breaking up her marriage.

2019
