生命中一個可以讓我一遍又一遍重溫的時刻是我在12 年級時，第一次用當家教賺得的錢請家人去餐館吃飯。當我向服務員索取賬單的那一刻，一股溫暖的成就感及滿足感湧上心頭。我很開心有能力滿足家人的需求，。也很感謝隨著年齡增長，我的能力不僅僅只限於家人、朋友 ，還能夠為社區裏需要幫助的人做貢獻。每當我氣餒時，我會回想這個瞬間，給自己一個愛的鼓勵，回憶成長的每個腳步。

The moment in my life that I would relive over and over again is when I first used my earnings from being a tutor to treat my family to dinner when I was in grade 12. It was the first time that I was able to return gratitude to my family by taking them to a restaurant and treating them to something nice. The moment when I asked the waitress for the bill, a sense of contentment washed over me. It was empowering to know that I have grown to be able to care for my family materialistically. And as I get older, I have seen that the capability to care for not just my family but my friends and those in need in the community has grown. For this very reason, whenever I am down, I would look back to where I started, give myself a pat on the back and celebrate how far I have come.

我認為阻止某人充分發揮潛力的最大障礙就是太害怕嘗試、停留在舒適區並且沒有更廣闊的視野。 Jon Bon Jovi 的名言啟發了我，讓我總是嘗試走出舒適區。 “在任何時候都不要對自己的身份感到太自在，這樣可能會錯過那些成為你想要成為的人的機會。”

I believe the biggest obstacles that keeps someone from achieving their full potential is being too afraid to try, constantly staying in their comfort zone and not having a broader perspective. Jon Bon Jovi’s quote has really inspired me to always try putting myself out of my comfort zone: “Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be."

我希望我離開後每當有人提到我的名字時，記得的是一個深愛著她家人的溫柔靈魂，也是一個熱愛挑戰，熱愛生命的獨立女孩。不管在甚麼事情上，都會盡力地把每件事情都做到完美。

I want to be remembered as a gentle soul who loved her family dearly and who tried her best in everything she did – someone who enjoyed challenges and painted her life in vibrant colours.

日本動畫導演宮崎駿所創作的動畫電影《風之谷》(Nausicaä of the Valley)在我心中佔有特殊的位置。 我很喜歡久石 讓(Joe Hisaishi)的作品，最喜愛的就是《風之谷》的拉拉拉安魂曲(Nausicaä’s Lalala Requiem)。每次我看主角娜烏西卡時，我都會想象自己就是她，因為我們都熱愛大自然還有昆蟲動物。我多麼希望也能像她一樣會，駕馭特殊滑翔翼, 有狐松鼠當寵物，還有能與腐海及王蟲溝通的能力！《風之谷》是一部傑作，如果有時間，我樂意重看很多遍。

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind definitely holds a special place in my heart. The music score by Joe Hisaishi is magical – my favourite piece is called the Contact with the Ohmu – the famous Nausicaä’s Lalala Requiem. Every time I watch the main character Nausicaä, I see myself in the same way that we both embrace nature and love animals. How I wish I can be an Ohmu whisperer like her! Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is just a masterpiece that I will always enjoy rewatching if I have the time.

我愛你，感謝你嘗試和學習不同事物，勇敢地面對一切。感謝你對爸爸媽媽的愛和服從，以及對弟弟妹妹的關心。

I love you. Thank you for all that you did courageously in trying and learning different things. Thank you for loving and obeying Mom and Dad and caring for our younger siblings.

我最喜歡的是淡淡的玫瑰香味，因為它們讓我想起媽媽和她迷人的玫瑰園。這讓我想起母親給我起名為“蕾”， 有“花蕾” 的意思。 這也是為甚麼我喜歡塗抹玫瑰乳液，因為小小一瓶就包含著各種不同的玫瑰花香，像是來自格拉斯、保加利亞、摩洛哥、土耳其及上普羅旺斯的玫瑰香味。

My favourite scent is the scent of fresh roses because they remind me of my mother and her lovely rose garden. It also reminds me of how my mother named me Lei which means “flower bud” in Chinese. This is why I love using the Roses et Reins Body Milk which has a floral fragrance that resembles the scent of a combination of rose extracts from Grasse, Bulgaria, Morocco and Turkey and Haute-Provence.

一個人的道德了解及判斷最能讓我了解一個人。

The person’s moral compass tells me the most about a person.

在醫院裏，我溫暖體貼、善解人意的性格讓病人跟我相處時沒有壓力而且還感到舒服。跟朋友，家人在一起時， 我很懂事體貼，心思也很細膩。我會去記得你所有的喜惡及小細節，並以彼此覺得最舒服的感覺和你相處。

I have a warm and gentle presence. When I am with my patients, I am patient, empathetic and caring. The way I interact with patients helps put them at ease which makes it easier for them to complete the required tests. When I am with my friends and family, I am genuine, considerate, and thoughtful. I will remember all your likes and dislikes and naturally come up with a way to interact with you that is the most comfortable for both of us.

我會選擇台式鹹酥雞湯麵配蔬菜，我很喜歡家鄉街頭小吃及麵食。而且這道餐點有菜、肉、麵，還有熱湯，蠻均衡營養的，對我來說簡直就是天堂。不過鹽酥雞是油炸食品，還是少吃為妙吧！

Taiwanese peppery fried chicken noodle soup that comes with vegetables because being Taiwanese, I really enjoy the Taiwanese street foods, such as the peppery fried chicken! I also enjoy a bowl of hot noodle soup. The combination of noodles with chicken, along with some vegetables is heaven. I will always enjoy eating this dish for the rest of my life if it is the only option! However, I do want to say that Taiwanese peppery fried chicken is fried food and should be consumed in moderation!

我爸爸在我小的時候常常跟我說 “時間很寶貴，明智地利用它來改善和投資自己。年輕時不要害怕嘗試。不要害怕失敗，要感謝能從失敗中所獲得智慧。

Since I was in primary school, my father has constantly reminded me, “Time is precious - use it wisely to improve and invest in yourself. Don’t be afraid to try when you are young. Don’t be afraid of failures but welcome the wisdom that you will be gained from them.”
