1. 您如何定義成功？你會如何達到你所定義的成功？
我認為成功是實現自我價值，並在過程中找到內心的滿足感和成長。對我來說，這不僅包括在事業上有所成就，還能追求自己的夢想，影響和幫助他人。我希望能夠在創建個人品牌的同時，探索娛樂事業，將我的創意和熱情通過表演或拍攝傳遞給更多人。我會通過不斷努力提升自己、抓住每一個機會，在娛樂和創意領域中發展，並利用這些平台啟發他人，最終達到我所定義的成功。
2. 生活中保持動力的方法？
我保持動力的方式是提醒自己不要讓未來的自己後悔。我不想因為錯過機會或沒有去嘗試而感到遺憾，所以我總是願意主動去挑戰新事物，讓生活變得更有趣和多姿多彩。這種心態幫助我在面對困難時不輕易放棄，因為我知道每一次努力都是在為我的人生增添一點色彩，也讓我離夢想更近一步。
3. 如果有機會成立一個慈善機構，你會關注甚麼議題？
如果有機會成立一個慈善機構，我會專注於支持移民和少數族裔青年的教育和成長。作為一名華裔女性，我深知文化背景和身份認同在年輕人成長中的挑戰。我希望通過這個慈善機構，為這些年輕人提供更多的資源，無論是學業上的支持、職業技能的培養，還是幫助他們建立自信和歸屬感。我的目標是讓他們在融入社會的同時，能夠保持對自己文化的認同，並以此為基礎，創造更加美好的未來。
4. 有甚麼華裔文化傳統是你特別珍視的？為甚麼？
我特別珍視華裔文化中的傳統節日，因為這些節日不僅是家庭團聚的時刻，也傳承了我們的文化和習俗。像春節、中秋節這樣的節日，讓我們通過吃年夜飯、賞月等活動來加強家庭聯繫，同時表達對生活的感恩。這些節日讓我時刻記住自己的文化根源，也讓我和家人有更多機會一起慶祝。我希望未來能把這些美好的傳統傳承給下一代。
5. 有哪一項家庭傳統，您會想傳承給子女？
我特別想傳承的一項家庭傳統是我們每個星期六的家庭聚會。無論有多忙，這一天我們總會抽時間聚在一起吃飯，聊聊最近發生的事情。這種固定的聚會讓我們保持緊密聯繫，也能在忙碌的生活中找到一個放鬆和陪伴彼此的機會。我希望我的子女將來也能保持這個傳統，因為這種穩定的相處時間，讓家庭更有凝聚力，並且是情感和支持的來源。
1. How do you define success? How would you achieve the success you have defined?
I define success as realizing my self-worth while finding fulfillment and growth. To me, success means not only achieving career goals but also pursuing my passions and helping others. I hope to build my personal brand while exploring the entertainment industry, using my creativity to reach and inspire more people. By continually improving myself and seizing opportunities in the creative and entertainment fields, I aim to achieve the success I’ve envisioned.
2. How do you stay motivated and inspired in your daily life?
I stay motivated by reminding myself not to letting me have any regrets in the future. I don’t want to feel sorry for missing opportunities or not trying new things, so I always push myself to embrace new challenges and make life more interesting and colorful. This mindset helps me not to give up easily when facing difficulties because I know that every effort adds a little more color to my life and brings me one step closer to my dreams.
3. If you had the opportunity to establish a charitable organization, what issue would you focus on?
If I had the chance to establish a charitable organization, I would dedicate it to supporting the education and development of immigrant and minority youth. As a Chinese, I understand the unique challenges these young people face regarding cultural identity and integration. My organization would aim to provide them with essential resources, whether it’s academic assistance, career development opportunities, or fostering self-confidence and a sense of belonging. The ultimate goal would be to help them successfully integrate into society while preserving their cultural heritage, empowering them to build a brighter and more promising future.
4. What Chinese cultural traditions do you particularly cherish? Why?
I especially cherish traditional Chinese festivals because they represent not only family gatherings but also the preservation of our culture and customs. Festivals like Lunar New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival bring families together for reunion dinners, moon-gazing, and other traditions that strengthen family bonds and remind us to appreciate life. These celebrations keep me connected to my cultural roots and provide a chance to spend meaningful time with loved ones. I hope to carry these traditions forward for future generations to enjoy.
5. Any family traditions that you would like to pass on to your next generation?
One family tradition I would love to pass on is our weekly Saturday family gatherings. No matter how busy we are, we always make time to sit down for a meal and catch up on what’s been happening in our lives. These regular gatherings help us stay closely connected and provide a chance to relax and spend quality time together amidst our busy schedules. I hope my children will continue this tradition, as it fosters family unity and serves as a source of emotional support and bonding.
6. 10 歲時的你對參選華姐有甚麼想法？
10歲時的我會覺得，參選華裔小姐是一件夢幻又遙不可及的事，像公主一樣站在舞台上，感到既興奮又緊張。但我也會覺得，這是只有特別優秀的人才能做到的。如今我明白，參選不僅是展示外在美，更是展現內在力量和文化自豪感的機會。如果10歲的我知道自己有這樣的機會，一定會感到無比驕傲和期待。
7. 你最期待每天生活中的哪一部分？
我最期待的就是每天睡前的那段思考時間。這時候我可以放鬆下來，回顧一天的經歷，想想明天的計劃。這段時間讓我整理思緒，讓自己更清楚接下來該做麼。對我來說，這種睡前的反思不僅讓我感到充實，也能幫助我以更好的狀態迎接新的一天。
8. 如果你有機會和歷史人物對話，你會選擇誰？會問他/她甚麼問題？
如果有機會和歷史人物對話，我會選擇李小龍。他不僅是武術大師，還是一位打破文化界限的先驅，對世界影響深遠。我會問他，在面對很多限制和挑戰的時候，他是如何保持堅定信念，繼續追求夢想。我特別想知道，他是如何不斷挑戰自我、突破局限，最終成為一個跨越東西方文化的象徵，並且能激勵那麼多人去追求自己的可能性。
9. 如果您生活在一部迪士尼電影中，您會選擇哪一部？
如果我生活在一部迪士尼電影中，我會選擇《冰雪奇緣》(Frozen)。Elsa 的故事吸引我，因為她經歷了內心的掙扎，最終學會接受自己，並找到平衡。我欣賞她的獨立和勇氣，特別是在面對困難時，堅持做真實的自己。她的旅程讓我覺得很現實，因為每個人都會經歷內心的挑戰和自我探索。
10. 如果你是一件藝術品，你認為你會以甚麼形式或風格呈現？
如果我是一件藝術品，我覺得我會是一件玻璃藝術品。玻璃需要超過1000°C的高溫才能被塑造，這象徵着我在人生中經歷的挑戰和磨練。像玻璃一樣，我擁有內在的堅韌，能夠在高壓和困難中成長和強化自己。同時，玻璃能折射光線，從不同角度展現出美麗和獨特的光彩，我也希望自己能在不同的情境中展現多樣的特質，保持真誠，並在每次挑戰後散發出屬於自己的光芒。
6. What would your 10-year-old self-think about you participating in the Miss Chinese Toronto pageant?
My 10-year-old self would have seen participating in the Miss Chinese Toronto pageant as something magical and almost out of reach, like being a princess on stage, both thrilling and a little overwhelming. At that age, I probably would have thought it was something only exceptional people could achieve. Now, I understand it’s not just about outer beauty but also about showcasing inner strength and cultural pride. If 10-year-old me knew I had this opportunity, I would definitely feel incredibly proud and excited.
7. What part of your daily life do you look forward to the most?
The part of my day I look forward to the most is right before bedtime when I can finally relax and reflect on everything that happened. It’s a time to unwind, go over the day, and plan for tomorrow. This quiet moment helps me clear my mind and figure out what’s next. It gives me a sense of fulfillment and helps me feel more ready to take on whatever comes the next day.
8. If you had the opportunity to have a conversation with a historical figure, who would you choose? What question would you ask him or her?
If I had the chance to speak with any historical figure, I would choose Bruce Lee. He wasn’t just a martial arts icon but someone who shattered cultural boundaries and made a lasting impact globally. I would ask him how he stayed so focused and determined to pursue his dreams when facing so many obstacles. I’d love to hear how he continually pushed himself to break through personal and societal limits, ultimately becoming a symbol that connected Eastern and Western cultures and inspired countless people to pursue their own potential.
9. If you could live in a Disney movie, which one would you choose?
If I could live in any Disney movie, I would choose Frozen. Elsa’s story resonates with me because she faces her inner struggles and eventually learns to embrace who she truly is. I admire her strength and courage, especially her determination to remain authentic even in difficult times. Her journey feels relatable because we all experience moments of personal growth and self-discovery.
10. If you were a piece of art, what form or style do you think you would take? Why?
If I were a piece of art, I believe I would be a glass sculpture. Glass is shaped through intense heat, requiring over 1000°C to form, which reflects the challenges and experiences that have shaped me in life. Just like glass, I have an inner strength that allows me to grow and thrive under pressure. Glass also reflects light in unique ways, revealing its beauty from different perspectives. I hope to do the same by showcasing different sides of myself in various situations, always staying authentic and letting my true self shine through after every challenge.
