The hurt of love teaches us to love ourselves better. EP53 booktender. Valen Hsu

Valen Hsu has sung many classic songs since her debut in 1995, including "Sea of Tears", "If the Clouds Knew", "One Man Show", and "Daylight Airport". That afternoon, while Valen Hsu was waiting for her, a group in the office sang one of her songs, and it seemed that everyone had memories of their youth. The most interesting thing about group love songs is that while the same tune is sung, the images in their heads are completely different, and each of them has its own state of mind.

Finally, we had a visitor, and we could say to her, "We grew up listening to your songs".
Although, we are only a few years younger than her.
Valen Hsu has sung many classic songs since her debut in 1995, including "Sea of Tears," "If the Clouds Knew," "One Man Show," and "Daylight Airport." That afternoon, while waiting for Valen Hsu, the office group sang one of her songs, and it seemed that everyone had memories of their youth. The most interesting thing about the group singing love songs is that while they sing the same tune, the images in their heads are completely different, each with their own state of mind.
In the evening, I finally saw Valen, much smaller than I thought she would be, and marveled at how the years have been kind to her, leaving no trace of her. We talked a lot about work, life changes, and love. It turned out that the years hadn't really been that kind to her, but had still exacted a price from her for growing up.
Finally, I asked her a question I've been thinking about lately: Are you the best actor, screenwriter, or director in your life?
Fittingly, she answered me with her own song:
"Who is directing this play / In this lonely role / The dialog is always self-talking / The opponents are all memories / I can't see any ending".
Often, what can't be said, can be better expressed by singing.
In this episode, we invited Valen Hsu to talk about life. She shares her experiences and realizations at different stages of her life, talking about the scars of love, the struggle for self-identity, and the realization of life as time passes. The guests analyzed their inner world in a real and frank way, and gave the audience a lot of inspirations. The program is also full of laughter and banter, which makes the whole conversation charming and genuine. Through this conversation, the audience can feel that we are all searching for answers in life, and everyone's answer is unique.

婷：命運是我的編劇，我是現在的導演，決定這個鏡頭長的樣子，我們也是其中的演員！
我一直不是很好的演員，我一直在對抗！我能看到想要的畫面！
Hank
畫面取決於鏡頭的角度，我們是個演員，我今天踩在沙灘上，就想把每一步踩的很深！
嗯～我在想自己在生命中是不是都在練習，隨時變換角色的時候，能把導演、演員的角色越懂越深⋯⋯
喔～我好喜歡你們三個一起討論這些方式！都不一樣！都很自己！好開心

[@user-zc4id7xs2f]

想問題外話，人家說興趣如果放在工作上，某種層面、某種時刻會變質，比如壓力、倦怠感，(比如醫療業，原本幫助人，但因為太累太忙，變得冷血)想問做podcast目前有沒有遇到這樣的問題?如果有，怎麼解決?

[@kuimo-Q]
