Suí-khuì! Taiwan Tsa-bóo-kiánn 🌶️
“Walking with flair, gentle yet proud / Refined in taste, strong in mind.” — Lyrics from Siri Lee’s “Taiwan Gal” What does a Taiwanese Tsa-bóo-kiánn taste like? A little sweet, a little salty; youth can be sour, and life occasionally spicy. Mixed in are the flavors of the land, sea breeze, sweat, and love. Even the feelings that are hard to put into words slowly deepen with time. From girlhood to womanhood, life is never cooked by following a recipe. Sometimes shy, sometimes stubborn—and that’s perfectly fine. Recipes are passed down from one generation to the next, but in different hands, there is always one more flavor added. The longer it simmers, the richer it becomes; the longer we live, the more distinctly our own the taste becomes.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
