Chapiter1 Talent Show
ldquoWersquore Taiwanese Top Singer See you

I relieved Today I released too much
emotion on stage
ldquoMr White how could you do that Your
voice is always touchingrdquo
ldquoJust one question okay Just one
pleasehelliphellipMr Whiterdquo
God What is that noise
I canrsquot imagine how many paparazzo will
7
be waiting for me at the exit
This is not what I expecting I just want
YOU to know your decision is wrong
Yesterday you came to lift me up
As light as straw and brittle as a bird
Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall
Just one more whisper of a voice unheard
Tomorrow leave the windows open
As fear grows please hold me in your arms
Wont you help me if you can to shake this
8
anger
I need your gentle hands to keep me calm
Now I am the
competitor in
one of the most
popular talent
shows in Taiwan that is Taiwanese Top
Singer Recently more and more people
noticed me because they said they were
touched by my voice
After the show every week receiving lots
9
of gifts from my fans and being
interviewed by journalists were common
and regular for me I got used to it
Tina the hostess of the show is the
person I deeply admired Actually she is
like my mother
Before the show started she reminded
me to take a deep breath not to be afraid
and do my best Also after the show
ended she gave me some advice about
the performances today
10
ldquoToday you performed toohellipyou know too
strongly it seemed you were pretending
Be calm and express your feeling as
much as you can next time but please in
an appropriate limitation Willy For me
yoursquore always the best competitorrdquo Tina
told me
But I wasnrsquot
I wasnrsquot
I knew that was because I saw YOU
accidently I never thought I would meet
YOU again Everything you had done to
11
me suddenly came back to me YOU
never know how terrible my life has been
YOU donrsquot
YOU do not
-------------------------------------------------------
It is hard to explain how happy I am now
You were standing on the stage and
catching everyonersquos attention I know you
did it my dear Willy
Did you notice I was watching you Did
12
you recognize me Since ten years ago
have you ever thought of me Even one
time Have you
Perhaps there are 3 or 4 more wrinkles on
my face so maybe you donrsquot know who I
am
I donrsquot dare to ask you this question
because I already know your answerhelliphelliphellip
13
Chapiter2 Childhood
ldquoDad I promise Irsquoll be a successful man
taking care of Mom and youhelliphellip so please
we have to leave the hospital with your
recoveryrdquo I said as holding my father
hands
ldquoNohelliphellipWilly I beg for your forgiveness I
havenrsquot taken the responsibility of taking
care of you and your momrdquo said my
father
Suddenly my tears trickled down both of
14
my cheeks I didnrsquot understand He was
such a nice person and he worked late
almost everyday Whenever I saw him he
looked tired and sleepy
ldquoAll right itrsquos time to go home Willyrdquo said
my mother And it was the last time I saw
my father
Afterwards everything changed I was
sent to an orphanage but I was not an
orphan ldquoWhere was my mom Did she
abandon me alreadyrdquo I asked the clerk
there
15
She smiled at me and said ldquoDonrsquot worry
wersquoll take care of yourdquo instead of
answering my question
What happened to me Me me
mehelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
I hate my mom Very much
I started to rebel the women taking care of
me over
there since
I didnrsquot like
them too
They didnrsquot tell me the truth even though
16
each of them knew Everyone was my
enemy Where were my friends
Finally I accidently met York and Harry
They gave me a hand and shared their
story which was similar to mine From
then on we became essential for one
another Wherever we went we were
together
ldquoI donrsquot want to stay here any longer Just
think we have to be here until 20 It sucks
I want a life more interesting and exciting
I have a planhelliphellipIrsquom gonna open an ice
17
cream parlor If you two agree we can
leave tonightrdquo said York
ldquoButhellipwhat about moneyrdquo I asked
ldquoDonrsquot worry I will bring all my money It
will be enough By the way we can find
your motherrdquo
ldquoPlease donrsquot mention her Ok Irsquoll go with
you How about you Harryrdquo
ldquoOf course we are essential for one
anotherrdquo
ldquoYes We arerdquo York and I said
We left for another city and started our
18
new business The
name of our parlor was
called ldquoWHY ice creamrdquo
because WHY stands
for us three --- Willy
Harry and York
-------------------------------------------------------
I didnrsquot know how you have been
regarding me I justhellipI justhellipI had
something untold to inform you When
could I see you again I totally had no
idea What I wanted to say was that I did
19
this for some reasons Would you forgive
me Would you Whenever I saw Lisa I
thought of you What were you doing now
Did you have a better life now Did you
take good care of yourself I went to the
orphanage yesterday but they said you
were gone where did you leave for Why
did you leave The clerks there didnrsquot
treat you well Andhellipwere you safe now I
asked your aunt your teachershellipand none
of them saw you Where did you go No
matter what I would find you in the end
20
Sorry and I would give you a hand if
necessary Wait for me
21
Chapiter3 Relationship
After we have owned WHY ice cream for
four years Harry became a student of
interior design He discovered he had art
talent from designing and decorating our
ice cream parlor In order to become a
professional designer we collected all our
savings for him to study interior design
Recently I met a girl whose name was
Cherry Like fruit Cherry when she was
smiling my heart melted right away
22
Usually she came to our parlor every
afternoon
ldquoGood afternoon Miss which flavor would
you likerdquo
ldquoI donrsquot knowhelliphellipcould you choose one for
merdquo
ldquoSure no problem Ok here you are This
flavor is strawberryrdquo
This was the conversation the first time
we met each other Afterwards she came
everyday Little by little I knew more
about her She was a university student
23
nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry
for merdquo she asked with curiosity
ldquoBecause you are sweet and fragile I
want to protect
yourdquo I answered
seriously
Both of us laughed
at the same time Not long after we
24
became girl and boy friends And of
course I knew much more about her She
loved playing the guitar she loved singing
her father was a teacher she had no
brothers or sisters and she loved me
ldquoHey Irsquom gonna practice my guitar with
my classmates wanna come with merdquo
Cherry asked
ldquoOhhelliphellipnohellipI donrsquot have any music talent
Itrsquos not for me I gotta gordquo
ldquoPleasehellipWilly I want your opinion about
something Next week is my year-end
25
evaluation I wanna do it well and perfect
pleasehelliprdquo
ldquoAll right all rightrdquo I replied unwillingly
She took a deep breath and said ldquoOk
now Ilsquom gonna sing lsquoLove Storyrsquo by Taylor
Swiftrdquo
We were both young when I
first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
26
Im standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
ldquoWell Cherry please stoprdquo I interrupted
ldquoWhatrdquo
ldquoI know I canrsquot give you any useful opinion
27
but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this
songrdquo
ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo
ldquoYou donrsquot know the meaning of the lyrics
do you When yoursquore singing I canrsquot feel
your emotionrdquo
ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today
wersquore gonna sing Taylor Swiftrsquos Love
34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

Chapiter1 Talent Show
ldquoWersquore Taiwanese Top Singer See you

I relieved Today I released too much
emotion on stage
ldquoMr White how could you do that Your
voice is always touchingrdquo
ldquoJust one question okay Just one
pleasehelliphellipMr Whiterdquo
God What is that noise
I canrsquot imagine how many paparazzo will
7
be waiting for me at the exit
This is not what I expecting I just want
YOU to know your decision is wrong
Yesterday you came to lift me up
As light as straw and brittle as a bird
Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall
Just one more whisper of a voice unheard
Tomorrow leave the windows open
As fear grows please hold me in your arms
Wont you help me if you can to shake this
8
anger
I need your gentle hands to keep me calm
Now I am the
competitor in
one of the most
popular talent
shows in Taiwan that is Taiwanese Top
Singer Recently more and more people
noticed me because they said they were
touched by my voice
After the show every week receiving lots
9
of gifts from my fans and being
interviewed by journalists were common
and regular for me I got used to it
Tina the hostess of the show is the
person I deeply admired Actually she is
like my mother
Before the show started she reminded
me to take a deep breath not to be afraid
and do my best Also after the show
ended she gave me some advice about
the performances today
10
ldquoToday you performed toohellipyou know too
strongly it seemed you were pretending
Be calm and express your feeling as
much as you can next time but please in
an appropriate limitation Willy For me
yoursquore always the best competitorrdquo Tina
told me
But I wasnrsquot
I wasnrsquot
I knew that was because I saw YOU
accidently I never thought I would meet
YOU again Everything you had done to
11
me suddenly came back to me YOU
never know how terrible my life has been
YOU donrsquot
YOU do not
-------------------------------------------------------
It is hard to explain how happy I am now
You were standing on the stage and
catching everyonersquos attention I know you
did it my dear Willy
Did you notice I was watching you Did
12
you recognize me Since ten years ago
have you ever thought of me Even one
time Have you
Perhaps there are 3 or 4 more wrinkles on
my face so maybe you donrsquot know who I
am
I donrsquot dare to ask you this question
because I already know your answerhelliphelliphellip
13
Chapiter2 Childhood
ldquoDad I promise Irsquoll be a successful man
taking care of Mom and youhelliphellip so please
we have to leave the hospital with your
recoveryrdquo I said as holding my father
hands
ldquoNohelliphellipWilly I beg for your forgiveness I
havenrsquot taken the responsibility of taking
care of you and your momrdquo said my
father
Suddenly my tears trickled down both of
14
my cheeks I didnrsquot understand He was
such a nice person and he worked late
almost everyday Whenever I saw him he
looked tired and sleepy
ldquoAll right itrsquos time to go home Willyrdquo said
my mother And it was the last time I saw
my father
Afterwards everything changed I was
sent to an orphanage but I was not an
orphan ldquoWhere was my mom Did she
abandon me alreadyrdquo I asked the clerk
there
15
She smiled at me and said ldquoDonrsquot worry
wersquoll take care of yourdquo instead of
answering my question
What happened to me Me me
mehelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
I hate my mom Very much
I started to rebel the women taking care of
me over
there since
I didnrsquot like
them too
They didnrsquot tell me the truth even though
16
each of them knew Everyone was my
enemy Where were my friends
Finally I accidently met York and Harry
They gave me a hand and shared their
story which was similar to mine From
then on we became essential for one
another Wherever we went we were
together
ldquoI donrsquot want to stay here any longer Just
think we have to be here until 20 It sucks
I want a life more interesting and exciting
I have a planhelliphellipIrsquom gonna open an ice
17
cream parlor If you two agree we can
leave tonightrdquo said York
ldquoButhellipwhat about moneyrdquo I asked
ldquoDonrsquot worry I will bring all my money It
will be enough By the way we can find
your motherrdquo
ldquoPlease donrsquot mention her Ok Irsquoll go with
you How about you Harryrdquo
ldquoOf course we are essential for one
anotherrdquo
ldquoYes We arerdquo York and I said
We left for another city and started our
18
new business The
name of our parlor was
called ldquoWHY ice creamrdquo
because WHY stands
for us three --- Willy
Harry and York
-------------------------------------------------------
I didnrsquot know how you have been
regarding me I justhellipI justhellipI had
something untold to inform you When
could I see you again I totally had no
idea What I wanted to say was that I did
19
this for some reasons Would you forgive
me Would you Whenever I saw Lisa I
thought of you What were you doing now
Did you have a better life now Did you
take good care of yourself I went to the
orphanage yesterday but they said you
were gone where did you leave for Why
did you leave The clerks there didnrsquot
treat you well Andhellipwere you safe now I
asked your aunt your teachershellipand none
of them saw you Where did you go No
matter what I would find you in the end
20
Sorry and I would give you a hand if
necessary Wait for me
21
Chapiter3 Relationship
After we have owned WHY ice cream for
four years Harry became a student of
interior design He discovered he had art
talent from designing and decorating our
ice cream parlor In order to become a
professional designer we collected all our
savings for him to study interior design
Recently I met a girl whose name was
Cherry Like fruit Cherry when she was
smiling my heart melted right away
22
Usually she came to our parlor every
afternoon
ldquoGood afternoon Miss which flavor would
you likerdquo
ldquoI donrsquot knowhelliphellipcould you choose one for
merdquo
ldquoSure no problem Ok here you are This
flavor is strawberryrdquo
This was the conversation the first time
we met each other Afterwards she came
everyday Little by little I knew more
about her She was a university student
23
nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry
for merdquo she asked with curiosity
ldquoBecause you are sweet and fragile I
want to protect
yourdquo I answered
seriously
Both of us laughed
at the same time Not long after we
24
became girl and boy friends And of
course I knew much more about her She
loved playing the guitar she loved singing
her father was a teacher she had no
brothers or sisters and she loved me
ldquoHey Irsquom gonna practice my guitar with
my classmates wanna come with merdquo
Cherry asked
ldquoOhhelliphellipnohellipI donrsquot have any music talent
Itrsquos not for me I gotta gordquo
ldquoPleasehellipWilly I want your opinion about
something Next week is my year-end
25
evaluation I wanna do it well and perfect
pleasehelliprdquo
ldquoAll right all rightrdquo I replied unwillingly
She took a deep breath and said ldquoOk
now Ilsquom gonna sing lsquoLove Storyrsquo by Taylor
Swiftrdquo
We were both young when I
first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
26
Im standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
ldquoWell Cherry please stoprdquo I interrupted
ldquoWhatrdquo
ldquoI know I canrsquot give you any useful opinion
27
but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this
songrdquo
ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo
ldquoYou donrsquot know the meaning of the lyrics
do you When yoursquore singing I canrsquot feel
your emotionrdquo
ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today
wersquore gonna sing Taylor Swiftrsquos Love
34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

Chapiter1 Talent Show
ldquoWersquore Taiwanese Top Singer See you

I relieved Today I released too much
emotion on stage
ldquoMr White how could you do that Your
voice is always touchingrdquo
ldquoJust one question okay Just one
pleasehelliphellipMr Whiterdquo
God What is that noise
I canrsquot imagine how many paparazzo will
7
be waiting for me at the exit
This is not what I expecting I just want
YOU to know your decision is wrong
Yesterday you came to lift me up
As light as straw and brittle as a bird
Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall
Just one more whisper of a voice unheard
Tomorrow leave the windows open
As fear grows please hold me in your arms
Wont you help me if you can to shake this
8
anger
I need your gentle hands to keep me calm
Now I am the
competitor in
one of the most
popular talent
shows in Taiwan that is Taiwanese Top
Singer Recently more and more people
noticed me because they said they were
touched by my voice
After the show every week receiving lots
9
of gifts from my fans and being
interviewed by journalists were common
and regular for me I got used to it
Tina the hostess of the show is the
person I deeply admired Actually she is
like my mother
Before the show started she reminded
me to take a deep breath not to be afraid
and do my best Also after the show
ended she gave me some advice about
the performances today
10
ldquoToday you performed toohellipyou know too
strongly it seemed you were pretending
Be calm and express your feeling as
much as you can next time but please in
an appropriate limitation Willy For me
yoursquore always the best competitorrdquo Tina
told me
But I wasnrsquot
I wasnrsquot
I knew that was because I saw YOU
accidently I never thought I would meet
YOU again Everything you had done to
11
me suddenly came back to me YOU
never know how terrible my life has been
YOU donrsquot
YOU do not
-------------------------------------------------------
It is hard to explain how happy I am now
You were standing on the stage and
catching everyonersquos attention I know you
did it my dear Willy
Did you notice I was watching you Did
12
you recognize me Since ten years ago
have you ever thought of me Even one
time Have you
Perhaps there are 3 or 4 more wrinkles on
my face so maybe you donrsquot know who I
am
I donrsquot dare to ask you this question
because I already know your answerhelliphelliphellip
13
Chapiter2 Childhood
ldquoDad I promise Irsquoll be a successful man
taking care of Mom and youhelliphellip so please
we have to leave the hospital with your
recoveryrdquo I said as holding my father
hands
ldquoNohelliphellipWilly I beg for your forgiveness I
havenrsquot taken the responsibility of taking
care of you and your momrdquo said my
father
Suddenly my tears trickled down both of
14
my cheeks I didnrsquot understand He was
such a nice person and he worked late
almost everyday Whenever I saw him he
looked tired and sleepy
ldquoAll right itrsquos time to go home Willyrdquo said
my mother And it was the last time I saw
my father
Afterwards everything changed I was
sent to an orphanage but I was not an
orphan ldquoWhere was my mom Did she
abandon me alreadyrdquo I asked the clerk
there
15
She smiled at me and said ldquoDonrsquot worry
wersquoll take care of yourdquo instead of
answering my question
What happened to me Me me
mehelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
I hate my mom Very much
I started to rebel the women taking care of
me over
there since
I didnrsquot like
them too
They didnrsquot tell me the truth even though
16
each of them knew Everyone was my
enemy Where were my friends
Finally I accidently met York and Harry
They gave me a hand and shared their
story which was similar to mine From
then on we became essential for one
another Wherever we went we were
together
ldquoI donrsquot want to stay here any longer Just
think we have to be here until 20 It sucks
I want a life more interesting and exciting
I have a planhelliphellipIrsquom gonna open an ice
17
cream parlor If you two agree we can
leave tonightrdquo said York
ldquoButhellipwhat about moneyrdquo I asked
ldquoDonrsquot worry I will bring all my money It
will be enough By the way we can find
your motherrdquo
ldquoPlease donrsquot mention her Ok Irsquoll go with
you How about you Harryrdquo
ldquoOf course we are essential for one
anotherrdquo
ldquoYes We arerdquo York and I said
We left for another city and started our
18
new business The
name of our parlor was
called ldquoWHY ice creamrdquo
because WHY stands
for us three --- Willy
Harry and York
-------------------------------------------------------
I didnrsquot know how you have been
regarding me I justhellipI justhellipI had
something untold to inform you When
could I see you again I totally had no
idea What I wanted to say was that I did
19
this for some reasons Would you forgive
me Would you Whenever I saw Lisa I
thought of you What were you doing now
Did you have a better life now Did you
take good care of yourself I went to the
orphanage yesterday but they said you
were gone where did you leave for Why
did you leave The clerks there didnrsquot
treat you well Andhellipwere you safe now I
asked your aunt your teachershellipand none
of them saw you Where did you go No
matter what I would find you in the end
20
Sorry and I would give you a hand if
necessary Wait for me
21
Chapiter3 Relationship
After we have owned WHY ice cream for
four years Harry became a student of
interior design He discovered he had art
talent from designing and decorating our
ice cream parlor In order to become a
professional designer we collected all our
savings for him to study interior design
Recently I met a girl whose name was
Cherry Like fruit Cherry when she was
smiling my heart melted right away
22
Usually she came to our parlor every
afternoon
ldquoGood afternoon Miss which flavor would
you likerdquo
ldquoI donrsquot knowhelliphellipcould you choose one for
merdquo
ldquoSure no problem Ok here you are This
flavor is strawberryrdquo
This was the conversation the first time
we met each other Afterwards she came
everyday Little by little I knew more
about her She was a university student
23
nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry
for merdquo she asked with curiosity
ldquoBecause you are sweet and fragile I
want to protect
yourdquo I answered
seriously
Both of us laughed
at the same time Not long after we
24
became girl and boy friends And of
course I knew much more about her She
loved playing the guitar she loved singing
her father was a teacher she had no
brothers or sisters and she loved me
ldquoHey Irsquom gonna practice my guitar with
my classmates wanna come with merdquo
Cherry asked
ldquoOhhelliphellipnohellipI donrsquot have any music talent
Itrsquos not for me I gotta gordquo
ldquoPleasehellipWilly I want your opinion about
something Next week is my year-end
25
evaluation I wanna do it well and perfect
pleasehelliprdquo
ldquoAll right all rightrdquo I replied unwillingly
She took a deep breath and said ldquoOk
now Ilsquom gonna sing lsquoLove Storyrsquo by Taylor
Swiftrdquo
We were both young when I
first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
26
Im standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
ldquoWell Cherry please stoprdquo I interrupted
ldquoWhatrdquo
ldquoI know I canrsquot give you any useful opinion
27
but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this
songrdquo
ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo
ldquoYou donrsquot know the meaning of the lyrics
do you When yoursquore singing I canrsquot feel
your emotionrdquo
ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today
wersquore gonna sing Taylor Swiftrsquos Love
34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your

fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you

be waiting for me at the exit
This is not what I expecting I just want
YOU to know your decision is wrong
Yesterday you came to lift me up
As light as straw and brittle as a bird
Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall
Just one more whisper of a voice unheard
Tomorrow leave the windows open
As fear grows please hold me in your arms
Wont you help me if you can to shake this
8
anger
I need your gentle hands to keep me calm
Now I am the
competitor in
one of the most
popular talent
shows in Taiwan that is Taiwanese Top
Singer Recently more and more people
noticed me because they said they were
touched by my voice
After the show every week receiving lots
9
of gifts from my fans and being
interviewed by journalists were common
and regular for me I got used to it
Tina the hostess of the show is the
person I deeply admired Actually she is
like my mother
Before the show started she reminded
me to take a deep breath not to be afraid
and do my best Also after the show
ended she gave me some advice about
the performances today
10
ldquoToday you performed toohellipyou know too
strongly it seemed you were pretending
Be calm and express your feeling as
much as you can next time but please in
an appropriate limitation Willy For me
yoursquore always the best competitorrdquo Tina
told me
But I wasnrsquot
I wasnrsquot
I knew that was because I saw YOU
accidently I never thought I would meet
YOU again Everything you had done to
11
me suddenly came back to me YOU
never know how terrible my life has been
YOU donrsquot
YOU do not
-------------------------------------------------------
It is hard to explain how happy I am now
You were standing on the stage and
catching everyonersquos attention I know you
did it my dear Willy
Did you notice I was watching you Did
12
you recognize me Since ten years ago
have you ever thought of me Even one
time Have you
Perhaps there are 3 or 4 more wrinkles on
my face so maybe you donrsquot know who I
am
I donrsquot dare to ask you this question
because I already know your answerhelliphelliphellip
13
Chapiter2 Childhood
ldquoDad I promise Irsquoll be a successful man
taking care of Mom and youhelliphellip so please
we have to leave the hospital with your
recoveryrdquo I said as holding my father
hands
ldquoNohelliphellipWilly I beg for your forgiveness I
havenrsquot taken the responsibility of taking
care of you and your momrdquo said my
father
Suddenly my tears trickled down both of
14
my cheeks I didnrsquot understand He was
such a nice person and he worked late
almost everyday Whenever I saw him he
looked tired and sleepy
ldquoAll right itrsquos time to go home Willyrdquo said
my mother And it was the last time I saw
my father
Afterwards everything changed I was
sent to an orphanage but I was not an
orphan ldquoWhere was my mom Did she
abandon me alreadyrdquo I asked the clerk
there
15
She smiled at me and said ldquoDonrsquot worry
wersquoll take care of yourdquo instead of
answering my question
What happened to me Me me
mehelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
I hate my mom Very much
I started to rebel the women taking care of
me over
there since
I didnrsquot like
them too
They didnrsquot tell me the truth even though
16
each of them knew Everyone was my
enemy Where were my friends
Finally I accidently met York and Harry
They gave me a hand and shared their
story which was similar to mine From
then on we became essential for one
another Wherever we went we were
together
ldquoI donrsquot want to stay here any longer Just
think we have to be here until 20 It sucks
I want a life more interesting and exciting
I have a planhelliphellipIrsquom gonna open an ice
17
cream parlor If you two agree we can
leave tonightrdquo said York
ldquoButhellipwhat about moneyrdquo I asked
ldquoDonrsquot worry I will bring all my money It
will be enough By the way we can find
your motherrdquo
ldquoPlease donrsquot mention her Ok Irsquoll go with
you How about you Harryrdquo
ldquoOf course we are essential for one
anotherrdquo
ldquoYes We arerdquo York and I said
We left for another city and started our
18
new business The
name of our parlor was
called ldquoWHY ice creamrdquo
because WHY stands
for us three --- Willy
Harry and York
-------------------------------------------------------
I didnrsquot know how you have been
regarding me I justhellipI justhellipI had
something untold to inform you When
could I see you again I totally had no
idea What I wanted to say was that I did
19
this for some reasons Would you forgive
me Would you Whenever I saw Lisa I
thought of you What were you doing now
Did you have a better life now Did you
take good care of yourself I went to the
orphanage yesterday but they said you
were gone where did you leave for Why
did you leave The clerks there didnrsquot
treat you well Andhellipwere you safe now I
asked your aunt your teachershellipand none
of them saw you Where did you go No
matter what I would find you in the end
20
Sorry and I would give you a hand if
necessary Wait for me
21
Chapiter3 Relationship
After we have owned WHY ice cream for
four years Harry became a student of
interior design He discovered he had art
talent from designing and decorating our
ice cream parlor In order to become a
professional designer we collected all our
savings for him to study interior design
Recently I met a girl whose name was
Cherry Like fruit Cherry when she was
smiling my heart melted right away
22
Usually she came to our parlor every
afternoon
ldquoGood afternoon Miss which flavor would
you likerdquo
ldquoI donrsquot knowhelliphellipcould you choose one for
merdquo
ldquoSure no problem Ok here you are This
flavor is strawberryrdquo
This was the conversation the first time
we met each other Afterwards she came
everyday Little by little I knew more
about her She was a university student
23
nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry
for merdquo she asked with curiosity
ldquoBecause you are sweet and fragile I
want to protect
yourdquo I answered
seriously
Both of us laughed
at the same time Not long after we
24
became girl and boy friends And of
course I knew much more about her She
loved playing the guitar she loved singing
her father was a teacher she had no
brothers or sisters and she loved me
ldquoHey Irsquom gonna practice my guitar with
my classmates wanna come with merdquo
Cherry asked
ldquoOhhelliphellipnohellipI donrsquot have any music talent
Itrsquos not for me I gotta gordquo
ldquoPleasehellipWilly I want your opinion about
something Next week is my year-end
25
evaluation I wanna do it well and perfect
pleasehelliprdquo
ldquoAll right all rightrdquo I replied unwillingly
She took a deep breath and said ldquoOk
now Ilsquom gonna sing lsquoLove Storyrsquo by Taylor
Swiftrdquo
We were both young when I
first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
26
Im standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
ldquoWell Cherry please stoprdquo I interrupted
ldquoWhatrdquo
ldquoI know I canrsquot give you any useful opinion
27
but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this
songrdquo
ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo
ldquoYou donrsquot know the meaning of the lyrics
do you When yoursquore singing I canrsquot feel
your emotionrdquo
ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today
wersquore gonna sing Taylor Swiftrsquos Love
34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

Chapiter2 Childhood
ldquoDad I promise Irsquoll be a successful man
taking care of Mom and youhelliphellip so please
we have to leave the hospital with your
recoveryrdquo I said as holding my father
hands
ldquoNohelliphellipWilly I beg for your forgiveness I
havenrsquot taken the responsibility of taking
care of you and your momrdquo said my
father
Suddenly my tears trickled down both of
14
my cheeks I didnrsquot understand He was
such a nice person and he worked late
almost everyday Whenever I saw him he
looked tired and sleepy
ldquoAll right itrsquos time to go home Willyrdquo said
my mother And it was the last time I saw
my father
Afterwards everything changed I was
sent to an orphanage but I was not an
orphan ldquoWhere was my mom Did she
abandon me alreadyrdquo I asked the clerk
there
15
She smiled at me and said ldquoDonrsquot worry
wersquoll take care of yourdquo instead of
answering my question
What happened to me Me me
mehelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
I hate my mom Very much
I started to rebel the women taking care of
me over
there since
I didnrsquot like
them too
They didnrsquot tell me the truth even though
16
each of them knew Everyone was my
enemy Where were my friends
Finally I accidently met York and Harry
They gave me a hand and shared their
story which was similar to mine From
then on we became essential for one
another Wherever we went we were
together
ldquoI donrsquot want to stay here any longer Just
think we have to be here until 20 It sucks
I want a life more interesting and exciting
I have a planhelliphellipIrsquom gonna open an ice

ldquoButhellipwhat about moneyrdquo I asked
ldquoDonrsquot worry I will bring all my money It
will be enough By the way we can find
your motherrdquo
ldquoPlease donrsquot mention her Ok Irsquoll go with
you How about you Harryrdquo
ldquoOf course we are essential for one
anotherrdquo
ldquoYes We arerdquo York and I said
We left for another city and started our
18
new business The
name of our parlor was
called ldquoWHY ice creamrdquo
because WHY stands
for us three --- Willy
Harry and York
-------------------------------------------------------
I didnrsquot know how you have been
regarding me I justhellipI justhellipI had
something untold to inform you When
could I see you again I totally had no
idea What I wanted to say was that I did
19
this for some reasons Would you forgive
me Would you Whenever I saw Lisa I
thought of you What were you doing now
Did you have a better life now Did you
take good care of yourself I went to the
orphanage yesterday but they said you
were gone where did you leave for Why
did you leave The clerks there didnrsquot
treat you well Andhellipwere you safe now I
asked your aunt your teachershellipand none

21
Chapiter3 Relationship
After we have owned WHY ice cream for
four years Harry became a student of
interior design He discovered he had art
talent from designing and decorating our
ice cream parlor In order to become a
professional designer we collected all our
savings for him to study interior design
Recently I met a girl whose name was
Cherry Like fruit Cherry when she was
smiling my heart melted right away
22
Usually she came to our parlor every
afternoon
ldquoGood afternoon Miss which flavor would
you likerdquo
ldquoI donrsquot knowhelliphellipcould you choose one for
merdquo
ldquoSure no problem Ok here you are This
flavor is strawberryrdquo
This was the conversation the first time
we met each other Afterwards she came
everyday Little by little I knew more
about her She was a university student
23
nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry
for merdquo she asked with curiosity
ldquoBecause you are sweet and fragile I
want to protect
yourdquo I answered
seriously
Both of us laughed
at the same time Not long after we
24
became girl and boy friends And of
course I knew much more about her She
loved playing the guitar she loved singing
her father was a teacher she had no
brothers or sisters and she loved me
ldquoHey Irsquom gonna practice my guitar with
my classmates wanna come with merdquo
Cherry asked
ldquoOhhelliphellipnohellipI donrsquot have any music talent
Itrsquos not for me I gotta gordquo
ldquoPleasehellipWilly I want your opinion about
something Next week is my year-end
25
evaluation I wanna do it well and perfect
pleasehelliprdquo
ldquoAll right all rightrdquo I replied unwillingly
She took a deep breath and said ldquoOk
now Ilsquom gonna sing lsquoLove Storyrsquo by Taylor
Swiftrdquo
We were both young when I
first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
26
Im standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
ldquoWell Cherry please stoprdquo I interrupted
ldquoWhatrdquo
ldquoI know I canrsquot give you any useful opinion
27
but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this
songrdquo
ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo
ldquoYou donrsquot know the meaning of the lyrics
do you When yoursquore singing I canrsquot feel
your emotionrdquo
ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today
wersquore gonna sing Taylor Swiftrsquos Love
34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

After we have owned WHY ice cream for

Recently I met a girl whose name was
Cherry Like fruit Cherry when she was
smiling my heart melted right away
22
Usually she came to our parlor every
afternoon
ldquoGood afternoon Miss which flavor would
you likerdquo
ldquoI donrsquot knowhelliphellipcould you choose one for
merdquo
ldquoSure no problem Ok here you are This
flavor is strawberryrdquo
This was the conversation the first time
we met each other Afterwards she came

about her She was a university student
23
nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry
for merdquo she asked with curiosity
ldquoBecause you are sweet and fragile I
want to protect
yourdquo I answered
seriously
Both of us laughed
at the same time Not long after we
24
became girl and boy friends And of
course I knew much more about her She
loved playing the guitar she loved singing
her father was a teacher she had no
brothers or sisters and she loved me
ldquoHey Irsquom gonna practice my guitar with
my classmates wanna come with merdquo
Cherry asked
ldquoOhhelliphellipnohellipI donrsquot have any music talent
Itrsquos not for me I gotta gordquo
ldquoPleasehellipWilly I want your opinion about
something Next week is my year-end
25
evaluation I wanna do it well and perfect
pleasehelliprdquo
ldquoAll right all rightrdquo I replied unwillingly
She took a deep breath and said ldquoOk
now Ilsquom gonna sing lsquoLove Storyrsquo by Taylor
Swiftrdquo
We were both young when I
first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
26
Im standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
ldquoWell Cherry please stoprdquo I interrupted
ldquoWhatrdquo
ldquoI know I canrsquot give you any useful opinion
27
but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this
songrdquo
ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo
ldquoYou donrsquot know the meaning of the lyrics
do you When yoursquore singing I canrsquot feel
your emotionrdquo
ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today
wersquore gonna sing Taylor Swiftrsquos Love
34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

12
you recognize me Since ten years ago
have you ever thought of me Even one
time Have you
Perhaps there are 3 or 4 more wrinkles on
my face so maybe you donrsquot know who I
am
I donrsquot dare to ask you this question
because I already know your answerhelliphelliphellip
13
Chapiter2 Childhood
ldquoDad I promise Irsquoll be a successful man
taking care of Mom and youhelliphellip so please
we have to leave the hospital with your
recoveryrdquo I said as holding my father
hands
ldquoNohelliphellipWilly I beg for your forgiveness I
havenrsquot taken the responsibility of taking
care of you and your momrdquo said my
father
Suddenly my tears trickled down both of
14
my cheeks I didnrsquot understand He was
such a nice person and he worked late
almost everyday Whenever I saw him he
looked tired and sleepy
ldquoAll right itrsquos time to go home Willyrdquo said
my mother And it was the last time I saw
my father
Afterwards everything changed I was
sent to an orphanage but I was not an
orphan ldquoWhere was my mom Did she
abandon me alreadyrdquo I asked the clerk
there
15
She smiled at me and said ldquoDonrsquot worry
wersquoll take care of yourdquo instead of
answering my question
What happened to me Me me
mehelliphelliphelliphelliphellip
I hate my mom Very much
I started to rebel the women taking care of
me over
there since
I didnrsquot like
them too
They didnrsquot tell me the truth even though
16
each of them knew Everyone was my
enemy Where were my friends
Finally I accidently met York and Harry
They gave me a hand and shared their
story which was similar to mine From
then on we became essential for one
another Wherever we went we were
together
ldquoI donrsquot want to stay here any longer Just
think we have to be here until 20 It sucks
I want a life more interesting and exciting
I have a planhelliphellipIrsquom gonna open an ice
17
cream parlor If you two agree we can
leave tonightrdquo said York
ldquoButhellipwhat about moneyrdquo I asked
ldquoDonrsquot worry I will bring all my money It
will be enough By the way we can find
your motherrdquo
ldquoPlease donrsquot mention her Ok Irsquoll go with
you How about you Harryrdquo
ldquoOf course we are essential for one
anotherrdquo
ldquoYes We arerdquo York and I said
We left for another city and started our
18
new business The
name of our parlor was
called ldquoWHY ice creamrdquo
because WHY stands
for us three --- Willy
Harry and York
-------------------------------------------------------
I didnrsquot know how you have been
regarding me I justhellipI justhellipI had
something untold to inform you When
could I see you again I totally had no
idea What I wanted to say was that I did
19
this for some reasons Would you forgive
me Would you Whenever I saw Lisa I
thought of you What were you doing now
Did you have a better life now Did you
take good care of yourself I went to the
orphanage yesterday but they said you
were gone where did you leave for Why
did you leave The clerks there didnrsquot
treat you well Andhellipwere you safe now I
asked your aunt your teachershellipand none
of them saw you Where did you go No
matter what I would find you in the end
20
Sorry and I would give you a hand if
necessary Wait for me
21
Chapiter3 Relationship
After we have owned WHY ice cream for
four years Harry became a student of
interior design He discovered he had art
talent from designing and decorating our
ice cream parlor In order to become a
professional designer we collected all our
savings for him to study interior design
Recently I met a girl whose name was
Cherry Like fruit Cherry when she was
smiling my heart melted right away
22
Usually she came to our parlor every
afternoon
ldquoGood afternoon Miss which flavor would
you likerdquo
ldquoI donrsquot knowhelliphellipcould you choose one for
merdquo
ldquoSure no problem Ok here you are This
flavor is strawberryrdquo
This was the conversation the first time
we met each other Afterwards she came
everyday Little by little I knew more
about her She was a university student
23
nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry

the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

my cheeks I didnrsquot understand He was
such a nice person and he worked late
almost everyday Whenever I saw him he
looked tired and sleepy
ldquoAll right itrsquos time to go home Willyrdquo said
my mother And it was the last time I saw
my father
Afterwards everything changed I was
sent to an orphanage but I was not an
orphan ldquoWhere was my mom Did she
abandon me alreadyrdquo I asked the clerk
there
15
She smiled at me and said ldquoDonrsquot worry

answering my question

I hate my mom Very much
I started to rebel the women taking care of
me over
there since
I didnrsquot like
them too
They didnrsquot tell me the truth even though
16
each of them knew Everyone was my
enemy Where were my friends
Finally I accidently met York and Harry
They gave me a hand and shared their
story which was similar to mine From
then on we became essential for one
another Wherever we went we were
together
ldquoI donrsquot want to stay here any longer Just

ldquoPlease donrsquot mention her Ok Irsquoll go with
you How about you Harryrdquo
ldquoOf course we are essential for one
anotherrdquo
ldquoYes We arerdquo York and I said
We left for another city and started our

new business The
name of our parlor was
called ldquoWHY ice creamrdquo
because WHY stands
for us three --- Willy
Harry and York

Chapiter3 Relationship
After we have owned WHY ice cream for
four years Harry became a student of
interior design He discovered he had art
talent from designing and decorating our
ice cream parlor In order to become a
professional designer we collected all our
savings for him to study interior design
Recently I met a girl whose name was
Cherry Like fruit Cherry when she was
smiling my heart melted right away
22
Usually she came to our parlor every
afternoon
ldquoGood afternoon Miss which flavor would
you likerdquo
ldquoI donrsquot knowhelliphellipcould you choose one for
merdquo
ldquoSure no problem Ok here you are This
flavor is strawberryrdquo
This was the conversation the first time
we met each other Afterwards she came
everyday Little by little I knew more
about her She was a university student
23
nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry
for merdquo she asked with curiosity
ldquoBecause you are sweet and fragile I
want to protect
yourdquo I answered
seriously
Both of us laughed
at the same time Not long after we
24
became girl and boy friends And of
course I knew much more about her She
loved playing the guitar she loved singing
her father was a teacher she had no
brothers or sisters and she loved me
ldquoHey Irsquom gonna practice my guitar with
my classmates wanna come with merdquo
Cherry asked
ldquoOhhelliphellipnohellipI donrsquot have any music talent
Itrsquos not for me I gotta gordquo
ldquoPleasehellipWilly I want your opinion about
something Next week is my year-end
25
evaluation I wanna do it well and perfect
pleasehelliprdquo
ldquoAll right all rightrdquo I replied unwillingly
She took a deep breath and said ldquoOk
now Ilsquom gonna sing lsquoLove Storyrsquo by Taylor
Swiftrdquo
We were both young when I
first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
26
Im standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
ldquoWell Cherry please stoprdquo I interrupted
ldquoWhatrdquo
ldquoI know I canrsquot give you any useful opinion
27
but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this
songrdquo
ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo
ldquoYou donrsquot know the meaning of the lyrics
do you When yoursquore singing I canrsquot feel
your emotionrdquo
ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today
wersquore gonna sing Taylor Swiftrsquos Love
34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite

this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top

ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today
wersquore gonna sing Taylor Swiftrsquos Love
34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

Chapiter3 Relationship
After we have owned WHY ice cream for
four years Harry became a student of
interior design He discovered he had art
talent from designing and decorating our
ice cream parlor In order to become a
professional designer we collected all our
savings for him to study interior design
Recently I met a girl whose name was
Cherry Like fruit Cherry when she was
smiling my heart melted right away
22
Usually she came to our parlor every
afternoon
ldquoGood afternoon Miss which flavor would
you likerdquo
ldquoI donrsquot knowhelliphellipcould you choose one for
merdquo
ldquoSure no problem Ok here you are This
flavor is strawberryrdquo
This was the conversation the first time
we met each other Afterwards she came
everyday Little by little I knew more
about her She was a university student
23
nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry
for merdquo she asked with curiosity
ldquoBecause you are sweet and fragile I
want to protect
yourdquo I answered
seriously
Both of us laughed
at the same time Not long after we
24
became girl and boy friends And of
course I knew much more about her She
loved playing the guitar she loved singing
her father was a teacher she had no
brothers or sisters and she loved me
ldquoHey Irsquom gonna practice my guitar with
my classmates wanna come with merdquo
Cherry asked
ldquoOhhelliphellipnohellipI donrsquot have any music talent
Itrsquos not for me I gotta gordquo
ldquoPleasehellipWilly I want your opinion about
something Next week is my year-end
25
evaluation I wanna do it well and perfect
pleasehelliprdquo
ldquoAll right all rightrdquo I replied unwillingly
She took a deep breath and said ldquoOk

Swiftrdquo
We were both young when I
first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
26
Im standing there
On a balcony of summer air

See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
ldquoWell Cherry please stoprdquo I interrupted
ldquoWhatrdquo
ldquoI know I canrsquot give you any useful opinion
27
but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this

ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo

ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today
wersquore gonna sing Taylor Swiftrsquos Love
34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

After we have owned WHY ice cream for
four years Harry became a student of
interior design He discovered he had art
talent from designing and decorating our
ice cream parlor In order to become a
professional designer we collected all our
savings for him to study interior design
Recently I met a girl whose name was
Cherry Like fruit Cherry when she was
smiling my heart melted right away
22
Usually she came to our parlor every
afternoon
ldquoGood afternoon Miss which flavor would
you likerdquo
ldquoI donrsquot knowhelliphellipcould you choose one for
merdquo
ldquoSure no problem Ok here you are This
flavor is strawberryrdquo
This was the conversation the first time
we met each other Afterwards she came
everyday Little by little I knew more
about her She was a university student
23
nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry
for merdquo she asked with curiosity
ldquoBecause you are sweet and fragile I
want to protect
yourdquo I answered
seriously
Both of us laughed
at the same time Not long after we
24
became girl and boy friends And of
course I knew much more about her She
loved playing the guitar she loved singing
her father was a teacher she had no
brothers or sisters and she loved me
ldquoHey Irsquom gonna practice my guitar with
my classmates wanna come with merdquo
Cherry asked
ldquoOhhelliphellipnohellipI donrsquot have any music talent

ldquoPleasehellipWilly I want your opinion about
something Next week is my year-end
25
evaluation I wanna do it well and perfect
pleasehelliprdquo
ldquoAll right all rightrdquo I replied unwillingly
She took a deep breath and said ldquoOk

Swiftrdquo
We were both young when I
first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
26
Im standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
ldquoWell Cherry please stoprdquo I interrupted
ldquoWhatrdquo
ldquoI know I canrsquot give you any useful opinion
27
but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this
songrdquo
ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo
ldquoYou donrsquot know the meaning of the lyrics
do you When yoursquore singing I canrsquot feel

You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But

singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public

ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

nearby Freshman still Didnrsquot know too
much here I like to talk to her because no
matter what I said she was always
smiling
ldquoHow come you always choose strawberry
for merdquo she asked with curiosity
ldquoBecause you are sweet and fragile I
want to protect
yourdquo I answered
seriously
Both of us laughed
at the same time Not long after we
24
became girl and boy friends And of
course I knew much more about her She
loved playing the guitar she loved singing
her father was a teacher she had no
brothers or sisters and she loved me
ldquoHey Irsquom gonna practice my guitar with
my classmates wanna come with merdquo
Cherry asked
ldquoOhhelliphellipnohellipI donrsquot have any music talent
Itrsquos not for me I gotta gordquo
ldquoPleasehellipWilly I want your opinion about
something Next week is my year-end
25
evaluation I wanna do it well and perfect
pleasehelliprdquo
ldquoAll right all rightrdquo I replied unwillingly
She took a deep breath and said ldquoOk
now Ilsquom gonna sing lsquoLove Storyrsquo by Taylor
Swiftrdquo
We were both young when I
first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
26
Im standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
ldquoWell Cherry please stoprdquo I interrupted
ldquoWhatrdquo
ldquoI know I canrsquot give you any useful opinion
27
but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this
songrdquo
ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo
ldquoYou donrsquot know the meaning of the lyrics
do you When yoursquore singing I canrsquot feel
your emotionrdquo
ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today
wersquore gonna sing Taylor Swiftrsquos Love
34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with

34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

but what I wanna say is yoursquore not into this
songrdquo
ldquoWhat do you mean by thatrdquo
ldquoYou donrsquot know the meaning of the lyrics
do you When yoursquore singing I canrsquot feel
your emotionrdquo
ldquoEmotion emotionhelliphellipoh I see Irsquoll do it
better next time ok Letrsquos start againrdquo
However after singing the song several
times she was still confused I decided to
sing myself
28
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please dont go and I said
29
ldquoWilly how amazing You make me sad
by singingrdquo
ldquoSee I told you so Ok try it again
Cherryrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I never gave up looking for you HE
definitely helped me a lot and also asked
many people to find you Eventually we
found you
I knew you were falling in love with a girl
She was beautiful and elegant You were
quite lucky huh Recently you are
30
always practicing singing with her right
You have a talent for singing just like your
dad When we were at university he was
well-known because of his singing But
perhaps you didnrsquot notice that Maybe that
girl could help you further develop your
talent
31
Chapiter4 Thankful
One year later Cherry noticed an ad for a
singing competition in our community
ldquoYou should show your talent to the public
Willy you can do it I swearrdquo she said
ldquoWell I donrsquot know I donrsquot know if I can
sing well I havenrsquot got any training By the
way I donrsquot want to give up my businessrdquo
ldquoNo I didnrsquot ask you to give it up Therersquos
still York isnrsquot there Also I remember you
told me you wanted to open another one
32
right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today

34
Story We hope you will enjoy itrdquo
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please dont go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
35
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me theyre trying to tell me how
to feel
This love is difficult but its real
Dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
ldquoThis song is also for my lovely Cherry
the luckiest thing in my life is I met her Itrsquos
enough for me the rest of life staying with
her come here honeyrdquo I said trying to
36
give her a hug
The audience was whistling and we were
smiling at each other But Unfortunately I
didnrsquot win anything from competition
Some people said that it was because the
judges didnrsquot like the competitors talking
too much on stage about something
useless and unnecessary
Luckily I didnrsquot know if it was because of
my lucky star Cherry or not Someone
loved my voice very much and decided to
give her savings about NT$100000
37
I wondered who she was But that
benefactor didnrsquot want me to know
ldquoQuite strange huhrdquo I said
ldquoMaybe your voice touched her reached
the deepest part of her soul that nobody
touched before No matter what
congratulations Willy you did a great
jobrdquo
-------------------------------------------------------
I saw you on stage which was quite
touching I never imagined you would be
on stage and I would be the audience I
38
could tell you
loved your girl
very much
You looked like your father so muchhelliphellip
39
Chapiter5 Fact
I was really grateful for Cherry and the
nameless person They let me realize in
this world someone admired me Thatrsquos
why I was on the stage of Taiwanese top
singer Another reason was that I wanted
my mom to be regretful that she had
abandoned me before I wanted to show
her I was successful and no matter what
she said to me I wouldnrsquot admit she was
my mom
However three days later while I entered
40
the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
I totally regret to do this action so since several
years ago I always followed you I tried to protect
42
you and knew what are you doing know Forgive
mom okay
This is my phone number Whenever you miss me
call me right away 0912345678
Always loving you
mom

right Itrsquos a great opportunity The grand
prize is a lot Why not try for itrdquo
Then because I couldnrsquot resist her
persuasion I took part in the competition
During the preparation she helped me a
lot and gave me plenty of suggestions I
could feel she really loved me Her
mid-term exam would be coming but she
never talked about the exam in front of me
She was happy to assist me to make my
dream come true I was so lucky she was
sohelliphellipperfect so kind so thoughtful
33
Therefore I didnrsquot want to let her down I
promised that I would do my best to win
the first prize
Cherry knew more about music and she
volunteered to be my keyboard player
ldquoWhich song would you like to sing for the
competitionrdquo she asked
ldquoOf course our first songmdashLove Storyrdquo
ldquoHello ehhelliphellipIrsquom Willy and this beautiful
girl is my keyboard player Well today

the building of the competition I saw an
old woman lying on the floor in front of the
building
Suddenly I recognized that she was my
mom The one who I missed so much and
there was a letter in her hand
My dear Willy
I know you will never forgive me but there is
something I want to explain to you because
tomorrow my new husband and I will immigrate to
Canada This is the last time I will see your
performance The reason why I left you when you
41
were 15 is that your father was sick and the only
way to get the money for the operation was to
borrow from my manager I knew he liked me but
still I did it He said I didnrsquot have to pay him back
The only requirement was I had to stay with him
and take care of his daughter Linda and he
promised he would give you as much money as he
possibly could Like the competition in your
community the sponsor was him I knew it was my
fault to leave you but I had no more options Willy
