“Love is not what you say. Love is what you do.”愛，不是你說了什麼，而是你做了什麼。— David Wilkerson Because I started working part-time as an English teacher,my income gradually became more stable. 因為我開始兼職擔任英語老師，我的收入也逐漸穩定下來。 At the age of 20, I was already earning around 24,000 NTD a month.To me, that meant something important—it meant I could finally take care of myself. 20歲那年，我每個月已經可以賺到大約 24,000 台幣。對我來說，那代表著一件很重要的事——我終於可以養活自己了。 Around that time, I met an insurance agent while working at McDonald’s,and I bought my very first savings insurance policy. 也是在那段時間，我在麥當勞工作時認識了一位保險業務員，買下了人生中的第一份儲蓄型保險。 Growing up, my mom always believed in insurance.To her, it was a way to protect the future. 從小到大，我媽媽一直都很相信保險。對她來說，那是一種保護未來的方式。 So when I made that decision,she was the first person I wanted to tell. 所以當我做了這個決定時，她是我第一個想分享的人。 But the truth is,my relationship with my mom had always felt a little distant. 但事實是，我和媽媽的關係一直有點距離。 She was quiet, not very expressive.And I was always closer to my dad. 她很安靜，不太會表達情感，而我一直都比較親近爸爸。 That started to change when I moved away for college. 直到我離開家去念大學後，一切才開始改變。 My mom began calling me almost every day—sometimes three or four times a day. 媽媽開始幾乎每天打電話給我，有時候一天三、四次。 At the end of each month, when I was short on money,she would quietly transfer me 2,000 NTD. 每到月底我快沒錢的時候，她會默默轉 2,000 塊給我。 I knew that was love.But back then, I didn’t really know how to receive it. 我知道那是愛。但那時的我，並不懂得怎麼接住這份愛。 I even changed her caller ID on my phone to…“Death Calling.” 我甚至把她的來電名稱改成……「奪名索魂扣」。 Looking back now,it’s a little funny… and a little heartbreaking. 現在回頭看，有點好笑，也有點心疼。 One day, I called her to tell herthat I had bought my first insurance policy. 有一天，我打電話告訴她，我買了人生第一份保單。 I thought she would be proud of me. 我以為她會為我感到驕傲。 But instead, she got upset and said,“If you have money to buy insurance,why didn’t you put it under my name?” 但她卻有點生氣地說：「你既然有錢買保險，為什麼不放在我名下？」 At that time, I didn’t understand.I thought she was being petty. 當時的我完全不懂，甚至覺得她有點小氣。 I was trying to build my future—why couldn’t she just be happy for me? 我只是想為自己的未來努力——為什麼她不能單純替我開心呢？ Three months later,my mom passed away in her sleep. 三個月後，媽媽在睡夢中離開了。 When I was going through her belongings,I found something in her drawer. 當我在整理她的遺物時，在抽屜裡發現了一樣東西。 A life insurance policy—just three months old. 一份保單——才剛滿三個月。 She bought it right after that phone call. 她是在那通電話之後買的。 And the beneficiary… was me. 而受益人……是我。 In that moment,everything became clear. 那一刻，一切都明白了。 She wasn’t being selfish. 她並不是自私。 She was loving mein the only way she knew how. 她只是用她會的方式，在愛我。

如果你曾經，在長大之後才看懂父母的愛，那這一集，會讓你停下來，重新感受那些來不及說出口的情感。20歲那年，我買了人生第一份保單，以為那只是關於「未來保障」的選擇。但三個月後，媽媽突然離開。而我在整理她的遺物時，才發現——她也替我買了一份保險，受益人是我。那一刻，我才明白，她不是在計較，而是在用她的方式愛我。這一集，我會分享：從失去媽媽，到成為保險業務員，再到重新找回人生方向的故事。關於愛、關於成長、也關於——那些我們總是在「來不及」之後，才真正懂的事。如果你正在人生的轉彎處，這一集，會陪你走一段。 女性限定｜15分鐘人生方向釐清對話如果你正在思考更自由的人生，請到 flywithlily.com/discover 預約參加女性雲雀實驗室和我們一起蛻變微信：iflywithlily海外同學 flywithlily.com/6am

“You don’t become what you want, you become what you believe.” 你不會成為你想要的那個人，而是會成為你真正相信自己可以成為的那個人。 After I started earning my own money, I truly understood how hard it was to make a living. I worked 20 hours a week at McDonald’s—even more time than I spent in school—yet I could only earn 1,440 NT dollars (≈ US$ 45.6 / ≈ ¥315)  a week. Living in a big city like Taipei was really not easy. At that time, I had a boyfriend in Taipei. I liked dressing up nicely for our dates—buying clothes and cosmetics—to show my best self. However, he was serving in the military and insisted on splitting the bill every time, which made me really upset. Several times at the end of the month, I was completely broke. I had no choice but to call my parents and ask them to transfer 2,000 NT dollars (≈ US$63 / ≈ RMB ¥438)so I could survive a little longer. During this financially difficult period, my “salary destiny” at McDonald’s took an unexpected turn. Looking back now, it really feels unbelievable. Promotion to Lobby Hostess: My First Career Advancement After working at McDonald’s for almost a year, I was surprisingly promoted. I finally got the position I had dreamed of—McDonald’s lobby hostess. My hourly wage increased from 72 NT dollars (≈ US$2.28 / ≈ ¥15.8) to 85 NT dollars (≈ US$2.69 / ≈ ¥18.6), and I could even freely choose staff meals. When I was a regular crew member, I could only order basic set meals. But after becoming a hostess, I could finally order my favorites—spicy chicken burgers and chicken nuggets. We usually called lobby hostesses “Aunties.” Their job was to wear a red vest and a slim skirt, walk around the floor, refill coffee for customers, host children’s birthday parties, and sometimes help at the cashier. For me, it was not just a job—it was a sense of identity upgrade. However, not long after my promotion, I faced the first major challenge of my career—the outbreak of SARS. Trying Entrepreneurship During SARS: Turning Crisis into Opportunity After the SARS outbreak, Taipei gradually became a high-risk area, and the restaurant business was heavily affected. I was assigned to stand at the entrance to take customers’ temperatures. As the weather got hotter, I stood there all day, sweating nonstop. It was boring, and I felt like a “thermometer robot.” With no children’s parties to host and fewer customers coming in, I decided to do something different. I started setting up a small stall at the entrance, selling handmade crafts I made myself—plaster McDonald’s fries models, painted artworks, and small toys. Although it was only a small experiment, it taught me an important lesson: when the environment is bad, you must create opportunities proactively. This proactive attitude unexpectedly led me to discover a much higher-paying part-time job. Children’s English Cram School: Discovering a Fourfold Salary One day, while chatting with a younger schoolmate at the cashier, she told me she had started working as a teacher at a children’s English cram school. I casually asked, “How much is the hourly pay?” “320 NT dollars,” she replied calmly. I was completely shocked. That was four times my current salary. Thinking about how I hadn’t practiced English properly for a long time due to my busy life, a thought sparked in my mind: maybe I could try it too. A few days later, I gathered my courage and applied to an English cram school near my campus. The interview went surprisingly well. After a few simple English tests, I was accepted. That was how I started my journey as a part-time English teacher. The Joy of Doubled Income: Falling in Love with Teaching As my teaching hours increased, I received my first paycheck of over 20,000 NT dollars  (≈ US$633 / ≈ ¥4,380).. When I looked at my pay slip, I felt an overwhelming sense of achievement—I felt capable and powerful.

“The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.” — Oprah Winfrey 「你能踏上的最大冒險，就是活出你夢想中的人生。」—— 歐普拉 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. 童年的記憶其實從未走遠。 雖然身形變了、年紀增長了，但承載這一切的靈魂依然是那個「我」。隨著年歲增長，每個階段的挑戰拓寬了我的認知。在我展開橫跨十年的環球旅程後，許多人問我：「你的童年是不是也充滿變動？這會不會影響你成年後的生活方式？」 這個問題讓我開始回望、反思自己的成長旅程。 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.” 爸爸的影響——從嚴苛的祖父到自由的教育 爸爸從小在一個非常嚴格的家庭裡長大。他常提起受日式教育的爺爺對他管教有多嚴厲，甚至曾因他的隨性，把他吊在樹上打屁股。那次羞辱讓他一度萌生輕生念頭。然而，他對天發誓：「如果我有自己的孩子，一定要讓他們快快樂樂長大。」 But life challenged him even more. His first wife passed away, leaving behind two young children. Heartbroken and unable to care for them alone, he left them with their grandparents. Because of his damaged relationship with his father, he eventually chose not to return — creating a distance that continued into our generation. After I was born, I was never close to my grandparents or my older siblings. Every time I visited that serious, suffocating house, all I wanted was to escape. 然而，命運卻給了他更多挑戰。 他的第一任妻子病逝，留下兩個孩子。他悲痛又無力，只能把孩子交給爺爺奶奶照顧。因與爺爺關係惡劣，他最終選擇不再回家，也造成了我們這一代的疏離。 我出生後與爺爺奶奶、哥哥姐姐都不親，每次回到那個嚴肅壓抑的家中，我都只想逃離。 A Childhood of Adventure — Constant Moving & Early Independence If childhood is a journey, my parents definitely arranged an adventurous one for me. When I was little, I spent most of my time with my mother. She dressed me up, took me to Wendy’s, and while she enjoyed the salad bar, I loved the baked potatoes. I would spend entire afternoons playing in the ball pit. In contrast, my father was fiery, often out drinking for work. My parents’ relationship was unstable — sometimes tense, sometimes peaceful. 童年的冒險——變動中的家與獨立的開始 如果童年是一場旅程，我的父母確實替我安排了一段充滿冒險的旅程。 幼年時，我和媽媽相處較多。她細心幫我打扮、帶我去溫蒂漢堡，她吃沙拉吧，而我最愛烤馬鈴薯。我常在球池玩一整個下午。 相較之下，爸爸的個性火爆，常在外應酬，爸媽之間的氣氛時而緊張、時而輕鬆。 After entering elementary school, my parents became even busier. I began walking to and from school alone — an early taste of freedom, but also a doorway to danger. I encountered bad people and frightening situations more than once. Still, my parents believed it was “training,” a way to learn independence. Those experiences sharpened my instincts. Although I was scared at the time, I now feel grateful — they taught me how to protect myself. 上小學後，父母更忙了。 我開始自己上下學──那既是自由，也是危險的大門。我在路上遇過壞人和變態，嚇得魂不附體。但爸媽認為這是一種「訓練」，讓我更獨立。 這些經驗讓我更快成長。雖然當時害怕，如今回想，我反而感謝這些磨練。 Life wasn’t smooth. One night changed everything. Once, my mom accidentally spent the money reserved for rent. At the same time, my father’s company went bankrupt. That very night, we had to move out immediately. Just like that, we began living in other people’s homes. I changed schools five times. Every time I finally made friends, it was time to leave again. It was painful then — but those constant changes taught me to adapt, to enjoy every new beginning. 生活並不一帆風順。有一晚改變了一切。 有一次媽媽不小心花掉預繳房租的錢，剛好爸爸公司又倒閉，我們當晚被迫連夜搬家。 從那天開始，我們寄人籬下地生活。 我小學轉了五次學。每次好不容易熟悉的新環境，下學期又要告別。 雖然辛苦，卻也讓我習慣了變動，甚至開始享受新的開始。

在這一集裡，我想帶你回到我生命的起點——那個充滿變動、不安定、卻也充滿奇蹟與韌性的童年。 搬家、破產、轉學、家庭緊張…… 聽起來像是混亂的成長環境，但回望這一切，我才明白： 那些經歷正在悄悄塑造我、訓練我、準備我。 沒有一段經歷是白費的。 我今天能背著背包走向世界、能在未知中感到自在、能追逐我想要的人生—— 其實都從童年開始。 正如 Oprah 說的： “The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.” — Oprah Winfrey 「你能踏上的最大冒險，就是活出你夢想中的人生。」—— 歐普拉 願這一集，陪你重新理解自己的起點， 也讓你看見：你的故事，永遠值得被珍惜。 如果你正在尋找一個全新的開始—— 一種能邊旅行、邊成長、邊打造自由事業的生活方式—— 那你一定不能錯過我 1 月 18 日開啟的 Mini-Retirement Retreat 迷你退休營。 這一次，我們將線上與線下結合， 你可以選擇和我一起在泰國旅行， 體驗真正的生活方式設計、深度心靈覺醒， 以及那個你一直渴望、卻還沒允許自己活出的冒險精神。 現在，你可以到 👉 flywithlily.com/20 預約 20 分鐘免費諮詢， 讓我陪你一起設計下一個人生篇章。 Are you ready to fly? ✨

✨ Vocabulary（簡單版列表） 下面是我從EP. 1845故事裡挑出的 8 個單字，用例句幫你複習： betrayal 背叛 I felt a deep sense of betrayal when I read his words online. humiliation 屈辱、羞辱 Those words brought me humiliation I had never felt before. resilience 韌性 That painful moment slowly built my resilience. forgiveness 原諒 Saying “I forgive you” was a gift I gave to myself. misunderstanding 誤解 The whole situation started from a simple misunderstanding. transformation 蛻變、轉變 That experience became a turning point of transformation. acceptance 接受、自我接納 Through reading, I learned acceptance of my past and myself. healing 療癒 Real healing began when I realized the story no longer defined me.

Forgiveness doesn’t change the past, but it frees the future. 「原諒不能改變過去，但能讓未來自由。」 1 Growing up, this memory was undeniably the most painful chapter of my life, and it deeply shaped the person I am today. 在我成長的過程中，這段記憶無疑是最痛苦的，也深深塑造了今日的我。 ⸻ 2 In junior high, I was an outstanding student, almost always ranking first in the entire school. Yet, I didn’t get into my dream school—Kaohsiung Girls’ Senior High. I eventually chose Fengshan High School and passed the exam to enter the gifted English program. 國中時，我的成績優異，幾乎總是全校第一。然而，我卻未能如願考上第一志願——高雄女中。最終，我選擇了鳳山高中，並通過考試進入英語資優班。 ⸻ 3 Those days were wonderful. Each of my classmates had their own unique personality, and the cheerful atmosphere helped me open up in ways I rarely had before. I finally had more time to study the English I loved, and we had a humorous, open-minded homeroom teacher—Gilian. 那段日子是如此美好，班上的同學各具特色，樂觀開朗的氛圍也讓我開始展現自己較少流露的一面。我能花更多時間學習最熱愛的英語，還有一位幽默開明的班導師——Lilian。 ⸻ 4 She cared deeply for us. She even invited the whole class to her wedding and organized a trip from Kaohsiung to Taipei to visit universities—an experience that broadened my world. 她不僅用心指導我們，還帶全班參加她的婚禮，甚至組織我們從高雄到台北的大學參觀，開拓視野。 ⸻ 5 In that class, I became inseparable friends with Jenny. She was lively and outgoing—the center of attention—while I was more introverted, yet I tried my best to be close to her, learning confidence through her. 在這個班級裡，我和佳欣成了無話不談的好友。她個性活潑開朗，是班上的焦點人物，而我則較為內向，但仍努力靠近她，試著學習她的自信與魅力。 ⸻ 6 Through her, I met Zack, the class president next door. Tall and delicate-looking, he stood out instantly—and he was the boy Jia-Xin had a crush on. 也因為她，我認識了隔壁班的班長——宇哲。他高挑清秀，第一眼就能吸引目光，也是佳欣暗戀的對象。 ⸻ 7 As time passed, I came to learn about his life. His mother had passed away when he was young, leaving his father to raise him and his sister alone. 隨著相處時間增長，我也逐漸了解了宇哲的故事。他的母親在他小時候便過世了，父親獨自撫養他和妹妹。 ⸻ 8 Despite his hardships, he remained disciplined and hardworking, always ranking near the top. I admired him deeply, and we gradually became friends who shared everything. 儘管如此，他仍然自律勤奮，成績名列前茅，從未讓家人擔心。我對這樣堅強的他充滿敬佩，也漸漸與他成了無話不談的朋友。 ⸻ 9 Coincidentally, our birthdays were only eleven days apart. On his birthday, Jenny and I celebrated with him. For mine, I didn’t expect much, yet he still gave me a gift—a baseball cap, unwrapped, placed on the floor outside my classroom. 巧合的是，我們的生日同在同一個月份，僅相差11天。宇哲生日那天，我和佳欣特地為他慶祝。而當我的生日到來時，他給了我一頂沒有包裝、放在教室門口地上的棒球帽。 ⸻ 10 I didn’t think much of it at the time—boys weren’t always thoughtful. But a few days later, he posted an article on the school’s online forum, calling me “vain,” even claiming that no one in class liked me. 當時我不以為意，心想男孩總是不如女孩細心，卻沒想到，幾天後，他竟在學校的電子論壇上發文，指名道姓地說我「愛慕虛榮」，還寫道班上的同學都不喜歡我。 ⸻ 11 As my eyes moved across those cold, merciless words, my heartbeat grew heavy. I couldn’t believe that in the eyes of someone I trusted, I had become that kind of person. 當我滑動滑鼠，視線落在那些冰冷而殘忍的字眼上，心跳逐漸加快。我無法相信，在我所重視的同學眼中，我竟成了這樣的人。 ⸻ 12 The hurt and humiliation swallowed me whole. 那一刻，委屈與羞辱交織，將我吞沒。 ⸻ 13 I spiraled into self-doubt. Every day after school, I would hide in the bathroom and cry under the sound of running water. 從那天起，我陷入深深的自我懷疑，每天鬱鬱寡歡。回家後，我的固定行程變成了躲進浴室，在水流的掩護下哭泣。 ⸻ 14 This lasted until one day, our teacher said in class, “If anyone feels uncomfortable here, you may apply to transfer.” 這樣的日子持續了許久，直到某天，Lilian老師在課堂上說：「如果有同學覺得不適應，可以申請轉班。」 ⸻ 15 It was like seeing an escape route from my pain. 那一刻，我彷彿看見了逃離痛苦的出口。 ⸻ 16 I immediately called my father. I expected him to question me or persuade me to stay, but he simply said, “As long as you’re happy.” 下課後，我立刻撥電話給爸爸，本以為他會細問原因或勸我留下，然而他只是平靜地說：「只要妳開心就好。」 ⸻ 17 The next day, I submitted the transfer form, closing that chapter of darkness. 隔天，我便遞交了轉班申請，正式為這段陰影畫上句點。 ⸻ 18 This was not the first time I had experienced social hurt growing up. I was ignored by friends in elementary school, again in junior high—psychological wounds I didn’t recognize as “bullying” until later.
