要是你在開闢新路,就別指望會遇到路友, 如果偏離了方向,你還有太陽和星斗。

哈金《遠行者》

親愛的爸爸,

生日快樂!自從你跟我分享了哈金的那句「如果偏離了方向,你還有太陽和星斗」,我在迷茫時總是會用這句話砥礪自己。你的一生都在開闢新路,我沒有你的勇氣和魄力,但是我依然努力地向你看齊。謝謝你總是鼓勵我追求夢想,也謝謝你總是我夜空中最亮的那顆星。

每當我找不到存在的意義
每當我迷失在黑夜裡
夜空中最亮的星
請照亮我前行

If you are blazing a new trail, don’t expect to meet fellow travelers. If you stray off course, you still have the sun and the stars.

Ha Jin “Voyager”

Dear Dad,

Happy birthday! Since you shared Ha Jin’s quote, “If you stray off course, you still have the sun and the stars.” I have always used it to encourage myself when I am lost. You have been blazing new trails your entire life. While I don’t have your courage and strength, I still try hard to be like you. Thank you for always encouraging me to chase my dreams, and for being the brightest star in my night sky.

Whenever I can't find the meaning of my existence
Whenever I lose myself in the dark night
The brightest star in the night sky
Please light my way forward
