“The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.” — Oprah Winfrey

“你能踏上的最大冒险，就是活出你梦想中的人生。”—— 欧普拉

Childhood memories never really feel far away.

Even though my body has changed and the years have passed, the soul that carries everything is still the same “me.” As I grow older, every stage of life brings new challenges that widen and deepen my understanding of the world. After I began my ten-year global journey, people often asked me, “Was your childhood full of changes too? Did it shape the way you live now?”

That question made me pause, look back, and reflect on my path of growing up.

童年的记忆其实从未走远。

虽然身形变了、年纪增长了，但承载这一切的灵魂依然是那个“我”。随着年岁增长，每个阶段的挑战拓宽了我的认知。在我展开横跨十年的环球旅程后，许多人问我：“你的童年是不是也充满变动？这会不会影响你成年后的生活方式？”

这个问题让我开始回望、反思自己的成长旅程。

My Father’s Influence — From Strict Upbringing to Freedom

My father grew up in a very strict household. He often told me how tough my Japanese-educated grandfather was, and how he once hung him on a tree and beat him for being too carefree. It was such a humiliating moment that he even thought about ending his life. But instead, he made a vow: “When I have children of my own, I will make sure they grow up happy.”

爸爸的影响——从严苛的祖父到自由的教育

爸爸从小在一个非常严格的家庭里长大。他常提起受日式教育的爷爷对他管教有多严厉，甚至曾因他的随性，把他吊在树上打屁股。那次羞辱让他一度萌生轻生念头。然而，他对天发誓：“如果我有自己的孩子，一定要让他们快快乐乐长大。”

But life challenged him even more.
