Chang began to win acclaim with his first story, "Suspended" (1976). His major breakthrough came in 1986 with his collection of short stories ''Apartment Building Tour Guide''. He also wrote ''wuxia'' and science-fiction stories. His "spontaneous news novel" ''The Grand Liar'' includes the daily news into the plot and is his most ambitious book.
He also published the novel ''The Weekly Journal of Young Big Head Spring'' under the pen name Big Head Spring (Datou Chun). ''My Kid Sister'' and ''Wild Child'' are the second and third installments of the Big Head Spring Trilogy.
His story "The General's Monument" (''Jiangjun bei''), included in the collection ''Lucky Worries About his Country'', was published in French under the title ''La Stèle du général'' (Éditions Picquier, 1993), translated by Mathilde Chou and Pierre Charau. This book also includes two other tales by Chang, “Famine” and “What if Lin Hsiou-Hsiong…”
In the 1990s Chang Ta-chun produced and hosted two popular television shows. As a reporter, he worked for the China Times.
He has a cameo in Hou Hsiao-hsien's film City of Sadness. Provided by Wikipedia
