去年底，我們全家一起去泰國清邁度假。清邁以悠閒的步調和文創的氛圍而聞名，我們扎扎實實地體驗了一把泰北的歷史人文、自然風光。
Last December, my family went to Chiang Mai together for vacation. Chiang Mai is famous for its relaxed pace and vibrant creative industries, and we thoroughly experienced the history, culture, and natural scenery of Northern Thailand.
《父親》｜”Father”
爸爸生日快樂！這首《父親》是十幾年前的老歌了。坦白說，以你現在朝氣蓬勃的精神狀態來說，唱這首歌給你似乎有些矯情，但是專門寫給父親的歌曲實在太少，所以當我找到了這首歌時，就決定是它了。希望我能成為你的驕傲、讓你不需要為我而擔心，也希望你平安、健康。
Happy birthday, Dad! “Father” is an old song from more than a decade ago. To be honest, this song doesn’t quite fit your current energetic, lively state of mind. However, there are few songs out there specifically written for fathers, so when I found out about this song, I decided to sing it for you. I hope you are proud of me and never have to worry about me. I also hope you are always safe, happy, and healthy.
《花開忘憂》| “Flowers Bloom, Forget Your Worries”
媽媽生日快樂！我去年第一次聽見這首《花開忘憂》，就深深地被打動了。這首歌向聽眾們傳達了「所有的東西可能都不會是永恆的，但愛是永恆的」——即使妳走了將近五年了，即使在妳走後世界經歷了天翻地覆的變化，我依然愛妳、依然時時想念妳。
Happy birthday, Mom! When I first heard “Flowers Bloom, Forget Your Worries” last year, I was deeply touched. This song conveys that “everything in the world may not be eternal, but love is eternal.” Although it has been almost half a decade since you left, and the world has gone through drastic changes, my love for you is eternal, and I still think of you often.
《有生之年》| “In Your Lifetime”
曉彤生日快樂！新的一年，我們要一起繼續加油，願你前程似錦，不凡此生。
Happy birthday Hsiao-Tung! In the new year, let’s march on together — I wish you a very bright future and an extraordinary life!
柬埔寨 | Cambodia
去年十二月，我們全家一起去柬埔寨旅遊。爸爸二十幾年前就想去柬埔寨了，去年終於有機會成行。此行之前，我對柬埔寨所知甚少，這趟旅程令我大開眼界、回味無窮——未來的每一年，希望我都能有機會和爸爸一起一樣一樣地實現他的願望清單，繼續和家人們一起創造美好的回憶。
Last December, my family visited Cambodia together. My dad had wanted to go to Cambodia for more than 20 years, and we finally made it happen last year. Before this trip, I knew very little about Cambodia. This trip was truly eye-opening and unforgettable. In the future, I hope I can continue to check off my dad’s bucket list with him every year and create beautiful memories with my family.
《夜空中最亮的星》| “The Brightest Star in the Night Sky”
爸爸生日快樂！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。
Happy birthday Dad! Thank you for always encouraging me to chase my dreams, and for being the brightest star in my night sky.
《一葷一素》| “Mom’s Cooking”
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.
《消愁》| “Drown Your Sorrows”
曉彤生日快樂！因為你，我又多學了一首毛不易的歌，哈！
Happy birthday, Hsiao-Tung! Thanks to you, I learned another song by Mao Buyi.
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.
《如願》| “As Wished”
爸爸生日快樂！謝謝你一直以來的奮鬥和奉獻，為我們創造了更好的生活，我期許自己能傳承你的精神，自強不息。
Happy birthday, Dad! Thank you for all your efforts and dedication to building a better life for us — I hope I can be like you one day.
