Hsu Kuang-han completed his military service in mid-August. During his year of service, he adhered to a strict routine of early mornings and a structured schedule. This regimented lifestyle led him to reflect on his acting career and learn valuable lessons. He now believes in slowing down and approaching situations with more composure, rather than rushing through life. Before his service, his busy schedule offered little time for rest.
His upcoming film, My Love, explores the theme of human resilience in different circumstances, a message that resonates with his newfound appreciation for a slower pace of life. Playing the character Thu Tu made him realize the importance of cherishing every moment.

"When I meet a friend," he said, "I want to tell them to treat it as if it's the last time we'll see each other. This isn't meant to be sad, but rather to emphasize the preciousness of each encounter, encouraging genuine conversation." This new perspective has also made him more mindful of his choices, asking himself, "Is this what I truly want to do?" He's also making a conscious effort to express his affection for those around him.
Hsu Kuang-han has been in the entertainment industry for 12 years. He gained significant recognition after starring in the 2019 television series Someday or One Day and its film adaptation in 2022. He has received critical acclaim for his roles in films like My Best Friend's Breakfast, Sunshine of My Life, Stand By Me, and On Your Wedding Day. In 2020, Forbes magazine ranked him 69th on their list of 100 top celebrities in China.
