Summary

On my train back to Taipei, I surprisingly got a seat. I had a great talk with a 50-ish, hip Japanese teacher/artist. She shared her life, family, and a powerful lesson: a person's value lies in their unique ideas, not just repeating facts. She inspired me, reminding me to value older generations' wisdom to grow and avoid mistakes. I'll meet Ms. Hong again in the mainland.
