媽媽生日快樂！這兩年，我在曉彤的影響下，學了許多毛不易的歌。這首《一葷一素》，是毛不易寫給他因為癌症過世的媽媽的歌曲。妳大概猜到了，這也是一首我一聽就破防的歌。
Happy birthday mom! Thanks to Hsiao-Tung, I have been listening to and learning many Mao Buyi’s songs in the past two years. Mao Buyi wrote “Mom’s Cooking” for his mother, who died from cancer. As you might have guessed, I broke down when I first heard this song.

京都 | Kyoto
去年十二月底，我們全家一起在京都度過了一段難忘的假期。我們陪著爸爸走遍了一座他一直想造訪的城市、一起留下了許多美好溫馨的回憶，希望未來無論在世界何方，我和家人們共度的時光都是溫暖又精彩的。
Last December, my family went on a trip to Kyoto together. I am thankful that we got to travel with my dad to a city that he has always wanted to visit — we built a lot of beautiful memories that I know I will cherish for the rest of my life. In the future, I hope the time I get to spend with my family can always be warm and amazing, no matter where we are in the world.
