“I come from the hills of Pinglin—forests and mountain trails, where I roamed as a playful, curious explorer with my nose to every scent. Then one day I stepped into a wild-boar snare, and in an instant everything changed: hurt, frightened, and unsure what came next.

But someone found me, lifted me out, and gave me the chance to start again. With good care my injury healed completely—it doesn’t affect how I walk at all, and I can still run and play to my heart’s content.

What happened didn’t break me; it taught me to treasure everything I have now.”
