你覺得你是什麼類型的「陽光」？
What kind of "Sunshine" do you think you are?
我絕對是那種「擅長與人連結」的陽光。無論是透過我熱愛的音樂和歌唱，還是我那開朗外向的 個性，我都非常喜歡結交新朋友並跟他們一秒變熟！這對我來說是件很自然的事，因為我明白， 當你放鬆並敞開心扉時，身邊的人也會受到感染而展現真實的自己。談到對音樂的熱情，很多人 都說我在舞台上極具感染力，而且很擅長寫出直擊人心的細膩歌詞。這也是我如此熱愛音樂的原 因 —— 我能夠在深層、甚至心靈的層面上，與聽眾產生強烈的共鳴。
My sunshine quality is definitely my ability to connect with others, whether it be through the things I do, like music and singing, or through my bubbly and extroverted personality! I love meeting new people and immediately befriending them—it's something that comes naturally to me because I've learned that when you relax and open yourself to others, they will also feel inspired to do so! In terms of my passion for music, I've been told I command attention on stage and also have a special talent for writing permeating lyrics that command attention—and I think that's why I love music so much: I am able to get through to people on a deep and almost spiritual level.

如果人生是一束光，你希望照亮什麼地方？
If your life were a beam of light, what place would you hope to shine on?
我想把這束光照亮世界上所有的創作者。很多創作者可能因為經濟限制，或者害怕被貼上「藝術 只是個興趣」的標籤，而無法盡情追逐夢幻。我出生於藝術家庭，目前就讀於伯克利音樂學院， 我深知自己能夠選擇藝術這條路、並在學術上追求熱情，是一種許多人無法擁有的幸運與特權。 但我同樣堅信，實現夢想並不需要一張學歷證書。追求夢想永遠不嫌晚，而且無論夢想有多麼不 同，它們都是可以並存的！
I would shine it on all the creatives of the world who are unable to pursue their art to the degree they wish to, perhaps due to financial limitations or fear of the judgement that art is "just a hobby. " As someone who comes from an artistic family and attends the Berklee College of Music, I acknowledge the privilege I have in being able to choose an artistic path and pursue my passion academically, a choice many people don't have. However, I also believe that you don't need a degree to realize these dreams. It's never too late to chase your dreams and as different as each one of them may be, they can coexist!

哪一首歌最有陽光感覺？
Which song gives you the strongest sunshine vibes?
我有史以來最愛的專輯之一就是 Lorde 的《Solar Power》，連專輯名字都直接和陽光相關！我無法 只挑出裡面的一首歌，因為整張專輯都在探索從青少年蛻變為成人的美麗過程，以及如何放下陰 霾、擁抱陽光。這對我意義重大，因為在一個把「變老」視為令人恐懼的時代裡，我喜歡提醒自 己：成長是美麗的，也是我們蛻變成更好自己的唯一途徑。
One of my favourite albums ever is "Solar Power" by Lorde, and immediately, even the title is directly related to sunshine! I fail to pick a singular song on the album as all of them explore the beauty of maturing from teenager to adult, and what it means to let go of darkness and embrace the sun. It's significant to me because in an era where the concept of aging can be scary to some, I like remembering that growth is beautiful and that it's the only way we can grow into better versions of ourselves!

手機相簿最多的是什麼照片？
What type of photos do you have the most of in your phone gallery?
實在有太多抹茶拿鐵的照片了！作為一個自豪的「吃貨」，我最喜歡那些大膽創新的抹茶口味。 無論是濃郁到無可匹敵的法式焦糖香蕉抹茶，還是讓人一秒回到無憂童年的草莓蛋糕抹茶，我都 愛不釋手。我發現自己這種開放的心態和對創意的渴望，也延伸到了生活的其他角落。像是季節 的更迭，甚至是別人毛衣上沾到的一點牙膏，都能奇妙地變成我筆下的詩句和音樂。這就是當藝 術家最棒的地方：哪怕只是品嚐一杯抹茶，都能延伸出超越事物本身的深刻意義。
Too many matcha lattes!! As a proud foodie, my favourite kinds of matcha are the ones that aren't afraid to be experimental, whether it be a banana brûlée matcha with its unrivalled richness, or a strawberry shortcake matcha that brings you back to playful childhood. I find that my open-mindedness and thirst for creativity also applies to other areas of my life. Things as simple as the changing of seasons or even toothpaste on a person's sweater somehow find themselves in the poetry and music I write. That's what I love most about being an artist: even just enjoying a cup of matcha can become so much more than just that.

最近被朋友Tag最多的是什麼內容？
What do your friends tag you in most often?
朋友們偶爾會 Tag 我一些關於友情或出門玩樂的搞笑貼文。但說到最常標記我的，其實是我的媽 媽！她超喜歡標記我一些溫馨的母女日常貼文。無論何時，知道家裡永遠有一個最支持我、值得 我效仿的榜樣兼死黨，這種感覺真的無比甜蜜。
My friends sometimes tag me in funny little posts about friendship and going out, but it's really just my mom! She loves to tag me in cute mother-daughter posts and it's always super sweet to know that no matter what I’ll always have a supporter, role model, and best friend at home.

令我重拾笑容的方法 …？
What is your way of bringing a smile back to your face?
我覺得在和深愛的人聊天時，是不可能不微笑的。不論是和弟弟妹妹在咖啡廳聚聚，還是和遠在 三藩市的男友視訊通話，都能溫柔地提醒著我：在一天結束之際，你的生命中總有那麼一群愛你 、支持你的人。這樣一想，之前那些讓人心煩的糟心事，瞬間就顯得沒那麼微不足道、也沒那麼 天塌下來了。
I think it is impossible to not smile when I'm talking to people I love. Whether it be hanging out with my younger sibling at a café, or Face Timing my boyfriend all the way in San Francisco, it's nice to just be reminded that at the end of the day, you have people in your life who love and support you, so whatever you were upset about doesn't seem so overwhelming and grandiose in comparison.

Sunshine對我的意義 …
What does "Sunshine" mean to you?
對我而言，Sunshine 意味著去擁抱自己生命中的溫暖與快樂，並將這份溫暖傳遞給他人。不論是 幫陌生人在地鐵裡指引方向，還是當一個傾聽朋友心聲的陪伴者，在日常生活中，我們每天都有 成千上萬種或大或小的方式，去成為別人生態裡的那抹溫暖陽光。
ITo me, sunshine means embracing the warmth and joy in your own life and then channelling that warmth outwards to others. Like helping a stranger navigate the subway, or being an active listener to a friend, there are a million big and little ways we can be the sunshine in people's lives every day.
