【國立臺灣大學109學年度畢業典禮 致詞代表 資訊工程學系韓哈斯】
Student Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
International student Seth Austin Harding from Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering

校長、教授、以及在螢幕前的各位同學，大家好。非常感謝臺大給我這個機會。我是韓哈斯，來自美國華盛頓特區。我會以自身的真實經驗出發，來跟大家分享臺大帶給我的收穫。

我當初為什麼選擇來台灣求學呢？我小時候非常喜歡看武打片，然後我十歲的時候去看了一部電影叫做「功夫熊貓」。這部電影成為了我最喜歡的電影，主角「阿波」的故事跟我的故事很像。我看完了之後就決定要開始學功夫，所以去了「美國武術學院」。那個時候我每天都聽旁邊的人講中文，到了高中我就決定開始學中文。當時我遇到了一位貴人，她是從台北到美國來教書的中文老師，她教的課是我當時最喜歡的課，我每天去她的教室跟好朋友練習。到了高中畢業時，我是全高中中文最好的非母語人士。同時，我第二喜歡的課程是電腦科學，那時候我是程式能力數一數二的學生。後來在成功錄取夢寐以求的學校：臺灣大學之後，我感到雀躍不已，因為我既可以繼續學習中文，也可以持續在世界頂尖的學府中，往電腦科學的方向精進自我。

不過老實說，當我回顧大一的時期，我也曾迷失自我。雖然我修了很多很多的中文課，但是我那時只聽得懂大概一半的課程內容。跟大家對美國人的印象不同，我其實很害羞，也很害怕舉手提問，我甚至不太敢參與社交，所以當時朋友也很少。我開始想家，也變得有一點憂鬱。那時籃球是我唯一的紓壓方式。

但更不幸的是，我在打籃球時弄傷了我的前十字韌帶，做了兩次手術，需要一年半才能恢復。許多的負面情緒壓得我喘不過氣。我被困在人生的低谷，不知如何是好。我覺得我的中文不夠好，我也被診斷出失眠跟ADHD，另外，美國高中的數學太簡單了，來這邊不夠用。種種壓力讓我足不出戶，找不到自己的人生方向。後來，我向臺大心輔中心以及我的心理醫師尋求協助，然後我也開始跟系上有更多互動。有一位教授叫徐宏民跟我說，"Never give up"，雖然那時候我覺得這句話太過於簡化了我的問題，不過，在我仔細思考了一個禮拜之後，我下定決心，發誓不讓自己被這些事擊敗。我決定要克盡全力，認真做好每件事。這是我人生的轉捩點，我開始變得異常自律。當時廖世偉教授和洪士灝系主任帶我進入它們的研究室鑽研學術。這重燃了我對資訊工程的熱忱，提醒了我當初會愛上這個領域的原因。我開始研究人工智慧以及區塊鏈，也開始跟其他系上同學交朋友，一起成立臺大人工智慧應用社NTUAI。NTUAI現在是校內頗具規模的技術研究社團，致力於推廣人工智慧給任何對該領域有熱忱的學生。歡迎加入NTUAI，可以掃描我們的QR CODE。

最近，由於疫情的緣故，我已經一年半沒回美國了。但是沒關係，因為我已經找到了我第二個家。我很愛臺大，以及台灣的人事物。雖然我經歷了人生的低潮，但這裡的一切總是給我滿滿的祝福與協助。最後，我想送給大家「功夫熊貓」裡的一句台詞： "You just need to believe"。只要用樂觀的態度去面對困難，就有能力改變自己，甚至改變身旁所愛的人。就像阿波的父親說的，"心誠則靈，只要你相信，點石就能成金。根本沒有什麼秘笈。只有你。"謝謝大家。

President, professors, and classmates, I'm very honored to be here. Thank you to NTU for giving me this opportunity. My name's Seth Austin Harding, and I'm from the D.C. metropolitan area. I'm going to tell a real story that's personal but that's relatable and what I see as the real me.

What motivated and guided me to take my undergraduate studies in Taiwan? When I was very young, I really loved watching kung fu movies, and when I was 10 years old, I went to the theater to watch "Kung Fu Panda". This became my favorite movie as I felt like the story of the main character Po was one to which I could very much relate. After watching this movie, I decided that I wanted to start learning kung fu, so I went to the United States Wushu Academy. At the time, I began hearing Mandarin on a daily basis, so when I was in high school, I decided to begin formally studying Chinese. It ended up being my Chinese teacher from Taipei who was my favorite teacher who taught my favorite class, so I decided I'd hang out in the Chinese classroom every day and practice lots. By the time graduation came around, I had attained the highest proficiency in Chinese among any non-native speaker in my school. My second favorite class was computer science, and I ended up attaining among the best coding skills in my school. After getting accepted to the school of my dreams -- National Taiwan University -- I felt honored, humbled, and excited; I could now spend time at among the world's finest universities studying Chinese and at the same time advancing my knowledge of computer science.

But when I look back at my freshman year, to be honest with you, I didn't know what I was doing. Despite having taken very many Chinese classes, when I went to the NTU lectures, I understood only about half of what the teachers were saying. Contrary to most people's impressions of an American, I was actually too shy to raise my hand, to ask questions, or to even meet with teachers after class, so I had very few friends at the time. I started to become homesick and depressed. At that time, I found that basketball was the only way I knew of relieving my stress. However, while playing basketball, I had torn my ACL and it would take two surgeries and a year and a half in time to fully recover. At this point, I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. In fact, this was the lowest point of my life, and I didn't know what to do. I felt like my Chinese wasn't good enough, I had been diagnosed with insomnia and ADHD, and I felt like the math taught in America was too simple to allow for me to keep up with my classmates. I was under immense pressure, and at this time, I lost any sense of purpose or direction. Later on, I went to seek help from NTU counseling, from my psychiatrist, and from my department. I reached out to Professor Winston Hsu from CSIE, and he told me this: "Never give up"; it was such an oversimplified way to approach such a complex series of problems, I had thought. However, I pondered these words intensely for one week, and by the end of that week, I had made a firm decision. This would NOT be another example of me giving up. I decided to go all out, to work diligently and passionately on all tasks at hand. This was the turning point of my life; I started to discipline myself to a very high degree. At this time, I met my then-to-become advisors Professor Shih-Wei Liao and Professor Shih-Hao Hung and entered their labs to begin research. Finally, the passion that I had for computer science that I had previously held in high school was kindled again, and I was finally reminded why I loved this field. I began my research life in blockchain and AI, and at the time I entered the lab, I also began creating NTUAI. NTUAI is now a large and highly successful NTU club that is dedicated to the research and public understanding of AI. Welcome one and all to join us; please scan our QR code here.

For a year and a half I haven't returned to America because of covid. But not to worry; I have found my second home, away from home. I love it here in NTU and I cherish all of the things I've had the privilege to experience in Taiwan. I've gone through the most difficult of struggles in my life here, but I've also had the most fortunate and blessed of experiences. To conclude, I'd like to quote a line from "Kung Fu Panda": "You just need to believe". As long as you are willing to adopt an optimistic attitude in facing challenges and hardships, you may become a positive force in changing the lives of those around you as well as your own life. It all depends on how you view it; just like what Po's father says, "there is no secret ingredient. It's just you." Thank you, everyone.

一年前我在浪姐這個節目裡重生，讓大家重新認識袁詠琳這位創作歌手。 那時的我自彈自唱自創的 “愛是黑白”。 一年後，我站在這個舞台上，用打碟和舞蹈的方式演出新歌 “21天”，再次展示不一樣的自己。 不知再過一年我會是什麼樣子呢？ 只希望，能繼續做自己最熱愛的事情，莫忘初衷。

那麼，說說你對Cindy袁詠琳的最初印象和你最愛她的哪個演出舞台吧。 讓姐聽聽❤️🤣🤣

A year ago, I was reborn in the “Sister” show... re-introducing everyone to singer-songwriter Cindy Yen. I played and sang my own composition "Love is Black and White". A year later, I stand on this stage and performed my newest single "21 Days" as a DJ to show a different side of my artistry. I wonder what kind of artist I will be like in another year? I only hope that I can continue to do what I love most, and never forget the reason why I do what I do.

So, tell me about your initial impression of Cindy Yen and which of her performances you loved most. I’d love to hear!! ❤️🤣🤣

DJ Cdub in da house!

《婦女節閱讀之一》

“父親最愛紫丁香花的一點，就是它們總是在凜冽的寒冬之後才綻放” -- 故事女主角卡洛琳對父親的回憶
（"Father loved the fact that a lilac only blossoms after a harsh winter." ）

一個由真實故事所改編的小說。在紐約致力於慈善事業的名媛卡洛琳，在波蘭的青春少女卡茜亞，以及在德國極力想成為醫師的赫塔，這三名毫不相干的女性，在希特勒入侵波蘭之後，他們的命運逐步的交織在一起了。

一般我們想到集中營都是迫害猶太人，但其實當時納粹也迫害了很多波蘭人，與所謂的政治犯，或是“血統不純正的德國人”。這當中有一個全女子的集中營，裡面有一群波蘭的少女，被拿來做殘忍的人體實驗。他們刻意用手術破壞女孩們的雙腿，然後拿來實驗各種藥方是否能療癒這些傷害，目的是要研發給前線德國士兵的醫療用途。在集中營當中沒有衛生環境，並且麻醉不足，飲食飲水不足的情況之下，受到這些手術的被害者痛苦不已。事後他們被稱為“兔子” （Rabbits)， 因為他們就像實驗室裡的兔子實驗品，同時實驗之後他們的腳受到了嚴重的損害，走路會一跛一跛的跳著。波蘭少女卡茜亞就是一名不幸的受害者，而赫塔 （真有其人）是女子集中營當中唯一的女醫生，卡洛琳（真有其人）是一名美國名媛原本智力救助法國孤兒，後來成為這些倖存的“兔子”們，像母親一般的照顧者。作者用三個女孩人生發展的時間軸，不斷的交替說故事，非常動人，節奏也很緊湊，會讓我想要一直讀下去。

在這當中會讓我思考到人在無奈當中，還會看見自己有能力選擇嗎？三名女性都有自己的掙扎，但因著選擇不同，而帶出截然不同的後果。赫塔為了要當女醫生，忍受長輩的侵犯，忍受集中營男醫師們的歧視。但她選擇在執行這些殘忍的人體實驗時，告訴自己這些囚犯是罪有應得，她是為了國家做不容易的工作。單身的卡洛琳在美國名媛社交界，被旁人論斷為什麼要忙這些慈善，不趕快找個老公嫁了。一位法國已婚的男明星追求他，讓她心動，卻也心碎的發現戰後的結果。但是她心裡並沒有苦毒，反而把營救的範圍，擴及到這些不幸的波蘭女子。而卡茜亞在戰後因著身心創傷，常常會遷怒自己所愛的人。當她被請求去指認出赫塔時，所有壓抑著的恐懼和夢靨全部湧上來，讓她憤怒地想要逃避。但她最後卻選擇面對，勇敢出來指認，讓兇手醫師伏法，而他因為這個抉擇才真正的得到釋放，也饒恕了自己。

我們不見得能選擇什麼樣的景況臨到我們，但我們總是能夠選擇要如何應對。在看似環境逼迫下，仍然做出與心理信念一致的選擇，就像凜冽寒冬過後綻放的花朵一般，真的就是自由的極致了。

還記得第一次聽Someone you loved時是非常震懾的
Lewis Capaldi有著獨樹一格、撕心裂肺的嗓音
凡是他唱的歌都自帶滄桑感
就好像歷經幾百回悲劇，歌裡才能有這樣的情緒

這樣的情歌無需解釋太多
箇中滋味只要失戀過的人都懂
