If I have to use a phrase to describe how 2023 has been going for me so far, it’s my obsession with climbing, running, hiking, and being active in general. I don’t know where my obsession is going to take me, but I am truly thankful for the experience, and most importantly, for those who keep me company on this incredible journey.
到目前為止，如果要用一句話概括我的2023年，那大概就是我對攀岩、跑步、登山的狂熱了。我不知道這份狂熱會將我帶向何方，但是我感謝這段特別的經驗，更重要的是，感謝那些陪我一路走來的人。
Outdoor Climbing | 戶外攀岩
I went outdoor rock climbing for the first time at Hicks Road on 9/11/2022, two days after I turned 31. Since then it has been a wild ride.
去年九月十一日，我三十一歲生日過後兩天，我在 Hicks Road 第一次嘗試戶外攀岩。從那天起，我開始了一段精彩又有些瘋狂的旅程。
臺灣 | Taiwan
兩年了，我終於回臺灣了。這次回臺灣最後的重頭戲就是補結婚宴客——從2020年八月開始，總算徹底完成了人生大事。
After two years, I finally went back to Taiwan. One of our most important tasks during this trip was our wedding reception — now I finally feel like I have completed the process of “getting married” that started in August 2020.
倫敦 | London
離開阿姆斯特丹後，我前往倫敦出差。倫敦帶給我的情緒衝擊遠比我想像中的大很多。希望以後能有機會和家人一起來英國。雖然媽媽不在了，我還是希望有一天我們能一起在她曾經走過的路上懷念她。
After our trip to Amsterdam, I went to London for work. It was much more emotionally overwhelming than I originally thought. I hope one day I will have the opportunity to visit the UK with my family. Although my mom has left, I still wish that one day we can think of her together on the paths she once walked on.
Amsterdam | 阿姆斯特丹
In August, Steve and I visited Matthijs and Jana in Amsterdam. It took me a while to write this article because the trip still feels too good to be true.
今年八月，我和 Steve 去了阿姆斯特丹拜訪我們的朋友 Matthijs 和 Jana。我花了不少時間才寫完這篇文章，因為直到現在，我還是覺得這趟旅程恍如一場夢境、美好得令人難以置信。
Lead Climbing | 先鋒攀岩
I got my lead climbing certification for the first time earlier in August. It has been an incredible experience, and I hope one day I will become the best rock climber I can ever be.
八月初，我第一次拿到了先鋒攀岩的認證。這是一段十分難忘的經驗，我希望我能繼續進步，成為我所能成為最好的攀岩者。
《人生大事》| “Lighting up the Stars”
《人生大事》是大陸一部關於殯葬師的電影，也是今年繼《你好，李煥英》之後，第二部我好好坐下來看的電影。電影中有一句很溫柔浪漫的話：「天上的每一顆星，都是愛過我們的人。」
“Lighting up the Stars” is a Chinese movie about morticians. It is also the second movie that I sat down and watched this year, after “Hi, Mom.” There is a very romantic quote from the movie, “Every star in the sky is someone who once loved us.”
高中 | High School
最近不知為何，常常想起我的高中歲月。如果我的人生是一部小說、所有事都有前因後果，那很多伏筆早在我高中時就埋下了。
For some reason, I have been thinking about my high school years a lot lately. If my life is a novel and everything can be traced back to a source, then most of the foreshadowing already started when I was in high school.
New Journey | 新旅程
On March 21st, I started my new journey as a Technology Program Manager at Visa.
三月二十一日是我在 Visa 擔任技術項目經理的第一天，我展開了一段新旅程。
攀岩 | Rock Climbing
距離我重新開始攀岩，已經快一年了。雖然攀岩乍看之下和我八字不合，但是它卻是我這輩子最美麗的意外之一。感謝所有曾經和我一起攀岩的人。
It has been almost a year since I started to climb again. Although rock climbing doesn’t seem to be the sport for me at first sight, it is one of the most beautiful serendipities in my life. Many thanks to everyone who once climbed with me.
