I arrived in Santa Fe from Japan via Denver Airport after a one-day journey.
I’m surprised at myself for making it this far.
Thirty doctors and medical students from Hawaii, the United States, Canada, and primarily North America will gather here to spend three days.
For someone like me who doesn’t speak English, the sunlight in Santa Fe is overwhelmingly strong and almost painful.
我从日本经由丹佛机场，花了一天时间到达圣达菲。我很惊讶我能走到这一步。
三十名来自夏威夷、美国、加拿大及北美的医生和医学生将在这里共度三天。
对于像我这样不会说英语的人来说，圣菲的阳光太强了，几乎是痛苦的。
I came across a paper that gave me a new perspective.

This isn’t a question of which is better, Dragon or Phoenix, but based on this paper, I think I’d go with Dragon.
No, maybe it’s a dragon that admires the Phoenix…
No, maybe it’s just a chicken that can’t become a dragon or a phoenix (lol).
我偶然发现了一篇论文，它给了我一个新的视角。

这不是龙和凤凰哪个更好的问题，但根据这篇论文，我想我会选择龙。
不，我可能是向往凤凰的龙吧……
不不，我可能既不是龙也不是凤凰，只是一只普通的鸡（笑）。
Even though I’m not good at English or anything, I often wonder why I go all the way to Santa Fe.
Even when people made fun of me and asked me, “Does it mean anything to you to go there?” I couldn’t respond well, which was very frustrating.
However, I think there are things I can’t experience in Japan, such as meeting the kind people who gather here.
虽然我英语说得不好，但我自己也常常纳闷，为什么我会一路跑到圣达菲去。
即使被嘲笑说“你去那里有什么意义吗？”，我也无法巧妙地回应，这让我感到非常懊恼。
不过，我认为那里有很多善良的人，我可以见到他们并体验到在日本无法体验到的事情。
I saw the movie “Uzumasa Limelight” starring Seizo Fukumoto in Kyoto.
Seizo Fukumoto was an actor who was active in historical dramas on Japanese TV and movies, and passed away in 2021.
He also co-starred with Tom Cruise in the movie The Last Samurai.
我在京都看了福本征三主演的电影《UzumasaLimelight》。
福本清三是一位活跃在日本电视和电影历史剧中的演员，于 2021 年去世。
他还与汤姆·克鲁斯共同主演了电影《最后的武士》。
Until recently, I thought that if I worked hard and got something, I would definitely be happy.(I wonder if it’s still like that? lol)
However, this idea was wrong.
Little by little, I began to think about my way of being and what I value.
Indeed, when you translate the Japanese word “human” into English, it means ”human being,” not “human doing.”
直到现在，我还以为，如果我努力了，得到了一些东西，我一定会很开心。（不知道现在还这样吗？哈哈）
但这个想法是完全错误的。
渐渐地，我开始思考我是谁，我看重什么。
当你把日语单词“人間”翻译成英语时，它的意思是“human being”，而不是“human doing”。
