'''Samingad Purepurepuan ''' (born 2 October 1977), known professionally as '''Chi Hsiaochun''' ({{zh|c=紀曉君|p=Jì Xiǎojūn|w=Chi Hsiao-chün}}; [zhuyin](/source/zhuyin):ㄐㄧˋ ㄒㄧㄠˇㄐㄩㄣ) is an [aboriginal](/source/Taiwanese_aborigines) [Taiwanese](/source/Music_of_Taiwan) pop singer and songwriter. She is an ethnic [Puyuma](/source/Puyuma_people), whose name means "unique". She was born in [Taitung County](/source/Taitung_County), to a father of [Bunun](/source/Bunun_people) descent and a mother of [Puyuma](/source/Puyuma_people) descent. Her uncle is Purdur, the winner of the Best Mandarin Male Singer of the [11th Golden Melody Awards](/source/11th_Golden_Melody_Awards). Her younger sister, [Jia Jia](/source/Jia_Jia_(singer)), is also a singer.

Samingad was discovered while singing in a restaurant, where she worked as a waitress. Her first album "Voice of Puyuma" was released with Magic Stone Records and received a [Golden Melody Award](/source/Golden_Melody_Award) for "Best New Artist" 1999. In 2001 she received a Golden Melody Award for "Best Dialect (Non-Mandarin Language) Female Vocalist" for her second album "Wild Fire, Spring Wind". Her music draws much of its inspiration from the Christian [Gospel](/source/Gospel)s, as well as from tales of the tribe's former agricultural and hunting lifestyle, and from the complex emotions triggered by Puyuma's struggles in Taiwan's contemporary society.<ref>{{cite news | title =  Wild Fire by Samingad, a Taiwanese Aboriginal Singer  | url = https://indigenouspeoplescentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/wild-fire-by-samingad-taiwanese.html | publisher = Indigenous People Central | date = 2 February 2009 | accessdate = 2 February 2009}}</ref>
