一九一四年，英國探險家恩斯特沙克爾頓率領二十八人踏上帝國橫越南極遠征。然而計劃還沒開始，他們的船堅忍號就在威德爾海被冰封困住，最終沉沒海底。接下來的將近兩年時間裡，二十八個人在南極的冰原、冰海、荒島之間掙扎求生。沙克爾頓帶領五人乘坐小救生艇橫越一千三百公里的南大洋，又翻越從未有人跨越的雪山山脈，最終成功求援。一九一六年八月三十日，他把所有二十八名隊員完整地帶回了家，一個也沒少。這個奇蹟不只是運氣，更是一個領導者在最黑暗的時刻所展現的人性光輝。難怪哈佛商學院將這段歷史納入工商管理碩士課程，美國太空總署和谷歌也用來作為企業培訓案例。今天Jenny帶你走進這段令人震撼的歷史，看看一個男人如何用信念、勇氣和對人的關懷，創造出人類探險史上最偉大的奇蹟。

In 1914, British explorer Ernest Shackleton led twenty-eight men on the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. But before the journey even truly began, their ship called Endurance was trapped in the ice of the Weddell Sea and ultimately sank to the bottom of the ocean. For nearly two years, twenty-eight men fought to survive across Antarctic ice, frozen seas, and remote islands. Shackleton led five men across 1,300 kilometers of the Southern Ocean in a small lifeboat, then crossed a mountain range that no human had ever traversed, and ultimately secured a rescue. On August 30, 1916, he brought all twenty-eight men home alive. Not one was missing. This miracle was not merely luck. It was the expression of extraordinary human leadership in the darkest of circumstances. No wonder Harvard Business School incorporated this story into its MBA curriculum, and that NASA and Google have used it for corporate training. Join Jenny today as she brings this incredible piece of history to life, and discover how one man used belief, courage, and genuine care for people to create perhaps the greatest miracle in the entire history of human exploration.

如果有人告訴你，他能把一堆印著數字的紙變成真實的黃金，你覺得這是魔法，還是騙局？

在本集《影響世界金融的 50 個瞬間》中，我們要聊聊金融史上最荒謬的一章——1720 年的法國密西西比泡沫。故事的主角不是國王，而是一個逃亡的蘇格蘭賭徒：約翰·勞 (John Law)。

誰能想到，一個在倫敦決鬥殺人的死刑犯，竟然能搖身一變，成為掌控法蘭西王國財政的最高權力者？他手持最致命的武器不是長劍，而是一張名為「紙幣」的發明。

這集你將看到：

- 致命的幻術：約翰·勞如何利用密西西比公司的虛假金礦，引發一場席捲全歐洲的炒股狂熱。
- 瘋狂的巴黎：在窄巷裡推擠的人群、變賣家產的僕人，以及那個靠著「墊背」幫人寫字就能發財的駝背人。
- 信心的崩塌：當幻象破滅，紙鈔變回廢紙，那些一夜暴富的神話是如何在十天內徹底灰飛煙滅。

這不只是三百年前的歷史，更是一場關於「貨幣、債務與人性貪婪」的深刻實驗。

「信心建立需要十年，而崩塌，只需要十天。」

今天的沉思者J，要帶你認識一位用色彩說話的台灣藝術家——廖繼春。

一九零二年，廖繼春出生於台中豐原的農村家庭。父母早逝，家境清寒，卻擋不住他對藝術的熱情。為了一段愛情，他立下誓言，遠赴東京美術學校深造，與好友陳澄波同船出發，踏上改變一生的旅程。

學成歸台後，廖繼春不只成為傑出的藝術家，更是台灣現代藝術運動的重要推手。他共同創辦了赤島社與台陽美術協會，鼓勵學生成立五月畫會，點燃了台灣現代藝術的火焰。

一九六二年，他受美國國務院邀請赴歐美考察，此後畫風大幅轉變，粉紅色、翠綠、明藍在畫布上歡舞，形成獨特的色彩語言。他的作品，是台灣土地的詩，是一個農村孩子用七十四年生命寫下的彩虹樂章。

二零二六年，國立台灣美術館盛大舉辦廖繼春大型個展「虹霓色彩樂詩」，讓這位大師再度走進大眾視野。現在，就讓Jenny帶你走進廖繼春的藝術世界！

On today's Thinker J, we explore the extraordinary life of a Taiwanese artist who spoke through color — Liao Chi-Chun.

Born in 1902 in a humble farming family in Fengyuan, Taichung, Liao lost his parents young and grew up in poverty. Yet nothing could extinguish his passion for art. Inspired partly by a promise made to the woman he loved, he journeyed to Tokyo in 1924, boarding the same ship as the legendary artist Tan Teng-pho (Chen Cheng-Po), to study at the prestigious Tokyo School of Fine Arts.

Upon returning to Taiwan, Liao became not only an outstanding painter but also a key figure in shaping Taiwan's modern art movement. He co-founded the Chidao Association and the Tai-Yang Art Society, and encouraged his students to establish the Fifth Moon Group — lighting the flame of modern Taiwanese art.

In 1962, invited by the US Department of State, he traveled through Europe and America for a year. The experience transformed his style completely. His later works burst with vivid pinks, emerald greens, and radiant blues — a joyful visual language all his own.

In 2026, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts opened a major retrospective celebrating his legacy, titled Rainbow Colors and Lyric Poetry: The Art World of Liao Chi-Chun. Join Jenny as we discover the colorful and moving story behind one of Taiwan's greatest artists!

A young man who nearly became a clergyman.
A ship called HMS Beagle.
Five years at sea.
Twenty years of patient silence.
And then one book that changed the world forever.

Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in England to a distinguished family.
His father was a respected physician.
His mother was the daughter of a prominent industrialist.
By all expectations, he should have become a respectable doctor or an Anglican clergyman.
But a single letter changed everything.
He boarded HMS Beagle and set off on a journey that would reshape how humanity understands life on Earth.

In this episode of our Tribute to the Masters series, Jenny takes you deep into the extraordinary life of Charles Darwin.
From his curious childhood to the epic five-year voyage, from the finches of the Galapagos Islands to the publication of On the Origin of Species, from twenty years of quiet waiting to the legendary Oxford debate.

The theory of evolution is far more than a scientific concept.
It was a moment when humanity fundamentally reimagined its place in the universe.
Whether you love science, history, or simply great human stories, this episode is one you will not want to miss.

一九六八年，一個基隆碼頭長大的男人，帶著一艘中古雜貨船和一顆不服輸的心，踏上了創業之路。他叫張榮發，長榮集團的創辦人，後來被世界稱為「全球貨櫃船王」。

從十八歲第一次踏上甲板，到用十五年行船生涯摸透海運的門道，張榮發的每一步都是靠自己走出來的。創業初期，他獨自對抗由日本和歐洲船商組成的運費同盟；石油危機最嚴峻的時候，他選擇逆勢擴張。一九七九年，他打破了航運史上長達百年的壟斷，開闢了遠東到歐洲的全貨櫃航線；一九八五年，長榮海運登頂全球第一。

這不只是一個商業成功的故事。這是一個關於眼光、魄力和對人的承諾的故事。他說過一句話：「船沉了，人不能沉。」在最困難的時刻，他選擇不裁員，選擇和員工一起扛過去。這份信念，是長榮能夠屹立至今的根基。

今天，全世界的港口都看得到那個綠色的大貨櫃和白色的EVERGREEN。那背後站著一個從宜蘭蘇澳走出來的台灣男孩，用一生的奮鬥，留下了一個讓台灣驕傲的名字。

In 1968, a man who had grown up on the docks of Keelung set out to build a business with nothing more than one used bulk carrier and a heart that refused to quit. His name was Chang Yung-fa, founder of Evergreen Group, and the man the world would come to call the global shipping king.

From the moment he first stepped onto a ship deck at age eighteen to spending fifteen years mastering the shipping industry through self-study and hard work at sea, every step Chang Yung-fa took was earned through his own effort. In the early days of Evergreen, he stood alone against a powerful conference of Japanese and European shipping companies. When the oil crisis hit and others retreated, he expanded against the tide. In 1979 he broke a hundred years of shipping monopoly by forcing open the East Asia to Europe route. By 1985, Evergreen Marine was number one in the world.

This is more than a story of business success. It is a story about vision, courage, and a promise to the people who worked alongside him. He once said: the ship may sink, but the people cannot sink. In the hardest moments he refused to lay off his employees and chose instead to carry the burden together with them. That commitment became the foundation on which Evergreen has stood ever since.

Today, every major port in the world carries those green containers and the bold white letters spelling EVERGREEN. Behind them stands a boy from the small coastal town of Suao in Taiwan, who spent his whole life proving that where you start does not determine where you end up.

一八六七年，波蘭一個窮苦家庭誕生了一個小女孩。她沒有錢，沒有機會，甚至沒有在自己的國家接受高等教育的權利。但她最終拿下了兩座諾貝爾獎——物理獎與化學獎——成為人類史上唯一一個在兩個不同科學領域獲得最高榮譽的人。

她是瑪麗·居禮。這集我們要講的，是一個你以為你知道、但其實只知道一半的故事。

她和姊姊簽下了充滿情義的姊妹協議，輪流資助對方去巴黎求學。她在破舊的棚屋裡和丈夫皮埃爾一起處理幾噸重的礦渣，發現了釙和鐳兩個新元素，為人類打開了放射性研究的大門。她在最輝煌的時刻失去了摯愛的丈夫，在全社會的謾罵中昂首走上諾貝爾頒獎台。她設計了移動式X光車開到一戰的砲火前線，拯救了無數傷兵的生命。而最後，她用自己的生命，換來了人類對輻射危害的第一手認識。

這不只是一個科學家的故事。這是一個人如何在時代的重重枷鎖中，靠著信念、勇氣和永不停歇的好奇心，為自己和所有後來的人開出一條路的故事。

In 1867, a girl was born into a poor family in occupied Poland. She had no money, no privilege, and no right to receive a university education in her own country. Yet she went on to win two Nobel Prizes, one in physics and one in chemistry, making her the only person in history to be honored at the highest level in two different scientific fields.

She was Marie Curie. And in this episode we tell the story you think you already know, but actually only know half of.

We follow her journey from a simple sisterly pact to share the cost of studying in Paris, to years of processing tons of pitchblende ore in a leaking shed to discover two entirely new elements. We explore how she lost her beloved husband at the height of their success, how she walked onto the Nobel stage with her head held high while all of France condemned her, and how she drove mobile X-ray units to the front lines of the First World War to save wounded soldiers.

And we look honestly at the price she paid. The radioactivity she spent her life studying was also slowly destroying her body. She died at sixty-six from a disease caused by radiation exposure.

Her story is not simply the story of a scientist. It is the story of how one person, facing every barrier that an era could construct, carved a path forward through sheer belief, courage, and an unquenchable curiosity about how the world works.

在台灣的飲食版圖上，有一條幾乎被遺忘的起點——西門町附近的川菜一條街。那裡曾經油煙飄香，花椒的麻氣散佈在每一個轉角。讓這一切成為可能的，是一位被後人尊稱為台灣川菜之父的廚師——鄧記。

本集沉思者J將帶你深入川菜在台灣七十年的發展史。從一九四九年外省族群渡台攜來的川味記憶，到鄧記如何在食材受限、口味差異的困境下完成一場味覺本土化工程。再到下一代傳承者韓婷婷如何在粵菜席捲台灣的年代，用精緻化與故事化的方式完成川菜的形象再塑。

我們將從鄧記的奠基故事說起，拆解川菜二十四種味型的奧秘，探討師徒制廚房文化的美與限制，以及為什麼台灣的川菜能從街頭江湖菜逐漸走向精緻餐飲的殿堂。這不只是一個廚師的故事，而是台灣飲食現代化的縮影，也是一條橫跨時代的情感連線。

On the culinary map of Taiwan, there is an almost-forgotten origin point. A small alley near Ximending in Taipei, once thick with the fragrance of Sichuan peppercorns at every corner. The person who made all of this possible was a chef known as Deng Ji, revered by later generations as the Father of Sichuan Cuisine in Taiwan.

In this episode of Thinker J, we journey into the seventy-year history of Sichuan food in Taiwan. From the taste memories carried across the strait by mainland migrants in 1949, to how Deng Ji accomplished a remarkable localization of flavor under constraints of unavailable ingredients and unfamiliar palates. We then follow Han Tingting, the next-generation inheritor, who redefined Sichuan cuisine's image during the era when Cantonese cuisine dominated Taiwan.

We unravel the mysteries of Sichuan cuisine's twenty-four flavor profiles, explore the beauty and limits of the traditional kitchen apprenticeship system, and examine how Taiwanese Sichuan cooking evolved from bold street food into the world of refined dining. This is not just the story of two chefs. It is a portrait of Taiwan's culinary modernization, and an emotional thread connecting generations across time.

Note: Han Tingting is a fictional character created for literary and narrative purposes, representing the spirit of second-generation Sichuan culinary inheritors in Taiwan.

四百年前，一家公司誕生了世界第一張股票，也悄悄改寫了人類的財富規則。

在本集《影響世界金融的 50 個瞬間》中，我們將帶你回到一切開始的地方——1602 年的荷蘭阿姆斯特丹。

荷蘭東印度公司 (VOC) 不只是當時最強大的貿易帝國，它更是人類歷史上第一家公開發行股票的上市公司。在它的巔峰時期，市值換算至今日高達驚人的 7.9 兆美元，甚至超過現代科技巨頭 Apple 的兩倍以上！

但真正重要的，不只是那些天文數字，而是 VOC 建立了一整套至今仍主宰全球的資本邏輯：

- 股權分散：讓普通市民也能參與大航海時代的紅利。
- 風險共享：將昂貴且危險的海上貿易轉化為全民投資。
- 長期投資：從此，財富不再只是囤積金幣，而是對未來的長期參與。

看懂股票的起源，你將重新理解屬於現代人的財富規則。
