《我想念妳，媽媽》| “Mother of Mine”
親愛的媽媽，去年妳生日時，我送妳我學會的第一首吉他彈唱。妳說，妳好喜歡，覺得好像每一天都是妳生日。今年我再唱一首歌給妳，希望妳聽得見。我真的好想念妳。
Dear Mom, last year for your birthday, I sang you the first song that I learned to play on the guitar. You said you liked it so much, and you felt like every day was your birthday. I am singing you another song this year, and I wish you can hear it. I really, really miss you.
轉折 | Transitions
這篇文章是為了回答華玉的問題寫的。適逢我從史丹佛畢業三年，趁著這個機會，回顧我這一生中重大的轉折點，思考我曾經做過的抉擇，並且展望自己期許的未來。
I wrote this article in response to Jennifer’s question. It has been three years since I graduated from Stanford and entered the work force, so this is also a good opportunity for me to reflect on the major transitions in my life, think through the choices I made, and look forward to the future that I aspire to have.

另外一個家 | Another Home
2021 年3月13日，我們從住了兩年半的聖利安卓搬到了往南約半小時車程的佛利蒙。仔細想想，假如我三四歲搬到台中算是第一次搬家的話，過去二十五年我至少搬了十二次家了。
On March 13th, 2021, we moved from San Leandro to Fremont. If I count moving to Taichung as my first move, I have moved at least 12 times in the past 25 years.
“Count on Me”
Happy birthday Felix! Thank you for giving me your guitar last year — you enabled me to sing and play for so many people I love. Now I finally get to sing a song for you too!
“Dancing at the Pity Party” | 《妳離開之後》
“Dancing in the Pity Party” is the first illustration I read in a very long time. I knew it would be hard to read, but I desperately needed someone or something that shares my feelings as a motherless daughter.
《妳離開之後》是高中的好友羽婷推薦給我的，也是多年以來我看的第一本繪本。我知道這本書讀起來會很艱難苦澀，但是我迫切地需要有人了解一個年紀輕輕就失去母親的女兒的心境。
