當掌聲響起的時候

有些歌，不只是用來唱的。

而是用一整個人生去撐住的。


《掌聲響起》對我來說，就是這樣的一首歌。


每一次站在舞台上，當掌聲慢慢湧起，我腦中浮現的，從來不只是榮耀，而是那些沒有人看到的歲月——孤獨、忍耐、失敗，還有一次又一次告訴自己不要倒下的瞬間。






我是一名盲人、重度聽損者。

也是一名音樂人、武術家、運動員，如今成為站上國際舞台的專業藝術家。


但這條路，並不是一開始就有人為我喝采。


我出生於台灣，後來移民加拿大。成長在一個破碎而充滿衝突的家庭裡，很早就學會獨立。青少年時期的我，因為身材圓潤、因為身體障礙，成為被嘲笑、被低估的對象。17歲那年，我離開家，一個人生活，一邊打工，一邊把自己送進大學。沒有退路，只有硬撐。


學武術、參加比賽、訓練身體、訓練心志。

跌倒、受傷、失敗，再爬起來。

在沒有人相信的時候，先學會相信自己。





所以當我唱到：


「經過多少失敗，經過多少等待，告訴自己要忍耐」


這不是歌詞。

這是我活過來的方式。


掌聲響起的那一刻，我會流淚。不是因為脆弱，而是因為終於可以放下防備。那些年一個人走過的路，那些沒人看見的夜晚，都在那一刻被溫柔地接住。





這支音樂影片，是我對這首歌的回應。

也是我對生命的致敬。


不是因為我「克服」了什麼，

而是因為我沒有放棄。





謝謝你願意聽。

謝謝那段無聲的等待。

也謝謝，當掌聲終於響起的時候。

⚡ Fancy Realm’s Lei Zhenzi – The Thunder God That Hits Like a $45 Hurricane - Review & Myth Commentary

Image
🐉 A Personal Spark My parents were rarely around when I was a kid, but my nanny—who’s more of a mother to me than anyone—used to read to me every night before bed. And no, she didn’t read cute little bunny books or watered-down bedtime stories. She raised me on the adult stuff: The Trojan War , Greek myths , Macbeth , Hamlet , Journey to the West , and of course— Investiture of the Gods . I’ve re-read Investiture of the Gods more times than I can count. It’s not one of the “Four Great Chinese Classics,” but to me, it might as well be the crown jewel. It’s basically Chinese myth meets the Trojan War , but on steroids: gods, demons, warriors, magical weapons, divine beasts—it’s got everything. Image: Back of an ornate action figure box.  The cover is dark with gold decorative clouds in the corners and gold Chinese characters arranged in vertical lines across the center. There is a faint circular pattern in the background. The Chinese text reads: “玄之又玄，众妙之门。 道可道，非常道。 名可名，非常名。 无名天...

🐍 Mythic Legions Ninian Infantry: Snake Year, Snake Power, Snake Love 🐍

Image
“In 2025—the Year of the Snake—this warrior sl                ithered right into my collection like fate itself.” Surprise-dropped at LegionsCon 2024 , the Ninian Infantry may not be Mythic Legions’ biggest or flashiest release, but it’s one of the most meaningful—and most irresistible. From the Mesoamerican aesthetic to the symbolic reversal of the “snake = evil” trope, this figure coils itself around some big themes and delivers both playability and cultural richness . Image:  A striking Mythic Legions action figure, still in its packaging. This armored serpent warrior, complete with alternate head and spear, promises epic fantasy adventures. [ ] And yes, I bought two. 🐍 A Serpent’s Lore Faction: Convocation of Bassylia Race: Coatl Role: Soldier Image:  Two serpent warrior action figures posed in dramatic combat. Both figures have vibrant red, blue, and yellow scales, gold armor, and blue capes. They appear to be gr...

The Three Pillars of Martial Arts – Performance, Conditioning, Combat

Image
Martial arts are not just about punching and kicking. They’re not just about tradition, or getting in shape, or even learning how to fight. True martial arts—complete martial arts—are built on three timeless foundations: 演 (Performance), 練 (Conditioning), and 打 (Combat). Without understanding and developing all three, your training will be lopsided, fragile, and ultimately incomplete. An old proverb captures this perfectly: 練功不練拳，猶如無舵之船；練拳不練功，到老一場空。 To train the body but not the art is to sail a rudderless boat. To train the art but neglect the body is to grow old with empty hands. Image:  A man practicing boxing or martial arts. He is wearing a black shirt and appears to be punching a black punching bag. The punching bag has a white circle with a yellow border and the number "1" in the center. The top part of the bag has the word "PROGRESSION" written on it. The man has short, dark hair and is focused on his movement, with his arms raised and mid-punch. The ...
