我從《親愛的旅人啊》中聽到的,就是人生必然持續向前推進。而我何其有幸,在人生的旅途中能碰到這麼多美好的人,看著我登峰造極、看著我摔得粉身碎骨,再把我從萬丈深淵中拉出來。
What I heard from “Dear Traveler” is that life will move on no matter what, and I am so fortunate to have met so many wonderful people in my life who saw me laugh, saw me cry, saw me shattered, and saw me piece myself back together.

《追光者》幕後 |Behind “Light Chaser”
爸爸曾經對我說:「一個人一定要找到可以陪伴自己一輩子的興趣,這樣不管在生活上碰到什麼挫折或逆境,妳都不會迷失。」
My dad once told me, “You should find hobbies that can keep you company for the rest of your life. That way no matter what hardship you are going through, you will never be lost.”

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.”
外省人・客家人・閩南人
我對現在的環境無能為力,但是我會繼續努力實踐我自己的「臺灣價值」——我從臺灣的外省人、客家人與閩南人身上學到的「正直做人、勤懇做事」的原則,與樂觀進取、堅忍不拔的精神。
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.
