Due to the demands of my busy academic schedule, returning home for a rest is not currently feasible. However, a serendipitous opportunity arose when I organized a Taiwanese-style brunch for over 200 people in my dormitory. This event brought together Taiwanese students who prepared their hometown dishes, and as we joyfully cooked together, we introduced Taiwanese culinary culture to international students from various countries. The event also received enthusiastic praise from students. All these provided me with a considerable source of warmth and comfort. I also hope the willing Taiwanese students who assisted in this endeavor enjoyed the experience. The moment I tasted oyster omelet and deep-fried king oyster mushrooms, time seemed to reverse, and I was transported back to my childhood. I was walking hand in hand with my parents, gazing up at them as we explored night markets, sampling street food, and playing games like goldfish scooping, ring tossing, and bumper cars. The mouthwatering aroma of sesame oil chicken with rice wine brought me back to the joy of my grandmother serving me succulent chicken drumsticks. As for the tea leaf eggs, they took me back to my school days, from elementary to high school, when I used to buy 10 NTD tea leaf eggs from the local convenience store, cooked in a Tatung electric cooker. Every bite was like a journey through time, and the tears of homesickness, especially as I now reside so far away on the other side of the world, could no longer be contained. I feel incredibly fortunate, to the point where I question whether I deserve it. I have been blessed with a childhood filled with warmth and happiness from my family and society. They have silently supported my growth, helped me face challenges, and overcome setbacks. This support may well be a healing force throughout my life. So, how much responsibility and obligation should I carry, and how much should I give in response to all this kindness? As I write this, with glistening tears, I already know the answer: to stay true to my original purpose and keep persevering.
