蔥油餅是我最早學會做的幾道菜之一，是小學放暑假回爺爺奶奶家時，爺爺教我做的。
Scallion pancake is one of the first dishes I learned how to make. I learned to make it when I visited my grandparents over summer break in elementary school.
夢想｜Dreams
「小孩子從小就應該要胸懷大志、勇敢做夢。長大了之後為了屈就現實，夢想會越變越小。如果你小時候有遠大的夢想，即使它慢慢隨著時間變小了，你的格局還是會比其他人都大。」
My dad once told me, “As a kid, you should dream big because when you grow up, your dreams will shrink as reality hits. If you have big dreams as a kid, even if your dreams shrink as you get older, you will still have greater visions than others.”
今天是妳的生日，媽媽
兩年前，因緣際會聽見李健唱的這首《今天是妳的生日，媽媽》，深深觸動了我的心弦，讓我想起了我的媽媽，和十幾年來漂泊在外的心境。今年初，研究所的一位好友搬到紐約，將他帶不走的吉他留給了我。

A Letter Not to a Senator
I will never forget my lab group meeting on Monday, January 30, 2017. Kate asked us to take a few minutes to write down what is on our mind — “Just anything.” I saw my colleagues pick up their pens and start to write with flying strokes. I thought I would do the same, but instead, I froze for a little while before I could start writing.
Five Months, Five Decisions
Five months ago, life struck me with a series of events. I had a very difficult time dealing with the synergistic effect, but after I dried my tears, I marked my calendar and told myself this would be the beginning of a new stage of my life — I am going to rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
525,600 Minutes Since I Left Northwestern
Well, I would say I could measure the past year in how many times life has hit me — probably more than it did during all my four years at Northwestern combined. But just like what Khalid said to me winter quarter of my freshman year, “Pain makes you strong.” — with each hit, life has indeed made me grow stronger and taught me to appreciate things around me more.
Goodbye Northwestern
Just a few days away from my departure. My boxes were shipped and my room is mostly packed up now. As I am getting ready to leave Evanston, I find it very difficult to believe that I have already spent four years at Northwestern. I still remember so clearly how excited I was when I first set foot on campus on my 18th birthday — I had seen so many gorgeous pictures of Northwestern in all the brochures that the Admission Office sent me, and when I was finally here, everything just looked so much better than the pictures.
Farewell, Meade Lab!
I couldn’t find words to describe my love and appreciation for the Meade Lab, so I made a music video. 🙂
Window
Back in Evanston. I am sitting in front of my French window, looking at the glittering lake and listening to the music with which my heart has been beating in the past week. Just like my spring trip, this ASB winter trip to DC turned out to be one of the best weeks in my life: a charming city, a group of wonderful people, and an amazing journey.
