Recently, while I was visiting Japan, I was able to catch the film 'JOKER,' starring Joaquin Phoenix. It was such a deep, stirring, emotional experience that I returned to view it a second time before flying back to China a few days later. Since then, I have thought about the film very much, but it also prompted me to consider again many of the challenges and traumas I've been through in my life and what I might can do to inspire or encourage others who have been through or are going through their own trials.

Because of the amount of rudeness -- and sometimes downright hate -- that is so easily spewed out online, I have been hesitant to speak out about my experiences online in video format, even though I have YouTube channels. It seemed logical enough for me to use the podcast method, and in this episode I share with you how the film affected me, inspired me to begin creating this show, and some important, connected points.
