Who are You ?

「你是谁」

Children’s Picture Book

This story was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend, where we discussed whether personal significance comes from contributing to others or from one’s own happiness and sense of self-worth. I believe that each person’s value and the meaning of their life should be self-derived from within and not be defined by the expectations or views of others.

Therefore, in this story, I created ‘ea’, a mysterious character. The animals in the forest interpret and react to ‘ea’ in their own different ways, but the protagonist itself does not change as a result.

Through this story, I hope to convey a message: Our value and identity may differ in the eyes of others, but these perceptions or associations cannot define us.

这个故事的灵感来源于我和朋友的一次对话，我们讨论了个人意义究竟是来源于为他人做出贡献，还是来自于个人的幸福感和自我价值感。我相信每个人的价值和生命的意义应从内心自我衍生，而不应被他人的期望或看法所定义。

因此，在这个故事中，我创造了‘ea’，一个神秘的角色。森林中的动物们以各自不同的方式解读并反应‘ea’，但主角本身并不会因此而改变。

通过这个故事，我希望传达一个讯息：我们每个人的价值和身份在他人眼中可能不同，但我们不应被这些看法和关联所定义。
