JINGYIMAMA Stories

In an age where many learn to wear masks to belong,

You still choose your truest self—

childlike in innocence,

ancient in soul.

You refuse the easy tide,

And so you seem out of place.

At a hard crossroad,

you, too, once entered that “store,” chose a mask,

slipped into a fitting costume—

and were accepted, understood.

Or perhaps

you remain bare and unguarded,

willing to be unmistakably you.

Maybe no one fully understands,

no one always stays to cheer.

Yet even this ache

ripens into a gift—

a lantern for travelers in the dark.

You become a beacon,

the quiet glory they seek.

Because you are here,

an age is lit,

and hearts are warmed.

面具与灵魂

在一个许多人为了被接纳而学会戴上面具的时代，

你仍选择做最真实的自己——

像个纯真的孩子，

也像一颗古老的灵魂。

你不随波逐流，

于是常显得格格不入。

在抉择的时刻，

你也曾走进那家“商店”，挑了一副面具，

披上一件合身的戏服——

终于被接受，被理解。

又或许，

你依然选择赤诚不设防，

宁愿做一个清晰可辨的“你”。

也许无人真正懂你，

也许无人始终支持你、鼓励你。

然而这份隐隐的痛，

终将酿成礼物——

化作黑夜行路人的灯笼。

你因此成了明灯，

也成了他们所寻的荣耀。

因为你的存在，

这一代被点亮，

无数颗心被温暖。

You walk between life’s valleys and peaks.

You stumble, and sometimes you fall.

But again, you rise.

And without even noticing, you are quietly changing the world.

But never forget: you are a gift.

Not what you achieve.

Not what others see.

Simply because you are here.

Whether today you shine brightly, full of confidence and light—

Or you feel weary, burdened, and tired—

You remain your most beautiful self.

So take a breath.

Let today be enough.

And remember: being yourself is already a miracle.

在人生的低谷与高峰之间，你不断前行。

你会绊倒，有时甚至会跌落。

但你依然会再次站起。

而在不知不觉中，你正在悄悄改变这个世界。

但请不要忘记：你本身就是一份礼物。

不是因为你的成就。

也不是因为别人的目光。

而是因为你存在于此。

无论今天的你是光彩照人，满怀信心与光芒——

还是你觉得疲惫、背负重担、身心俱累——

你依然是最美的自己。

所以，请先深呼吸。

让今天的一切都足够。

要记住：做你自己，本身就是一场奇迹。

Welcome to My Daddy and Mommy’s Kitchen.

In every culture, the kitchen is more than a place to cook.It’s where stories are told, traditions are passed down, and love is shared inevery bite.

My mom was born in Tianjin, China. My dad was born in theUnited States, with Polish, Irish, and English roots.

When they met, two worlds came together East and West,chopsticks and forks, soy sauce and dill. They built a home where both cultureslive side by side.

Every day at home feels like an international food festival.On one side of the table: Mom’s Tianjin noodles, steaming and fragrant. On theother hand, Dad’s Italian pasta, twirled with tomato sauce.

Sometimes it’s Mom’s Tianjin dumplings, soft and juicy,lined up like little treasures. Across from them are Dad’s Polish pierogi,filled with potatoes and cheese, warm and hearty.

There are scallion pancakes sizzling in the pan, while pizzabakes in the oven.

We laugh, we taste, and we share stories. Our table is neverjust about food—it’s about family, memory, and love.

It is said that food takes time and is cooked with love.When my parents cook, I can taste their love in every dish. They love me verymuch, and I love them too.

My family is love… and love tastes delicious.

May your home be filled with warmth, flavor, and storiesworth sharing.

欢迎来到《我爸爸和妈妈的厨房》。

在每一种文化中，厨房不仅仅是做饭的地方。它是故事展开、传统延续、爱在每一口中传递的地方。

我妈妈出生在中国天津。我爸爸出生在美国，有波兰、爱尔兰和英国的血统。

当他们相遇时，东西方在一起融合——筷子与叉子，酱油与莳萝。他们建立了一个家，让两种文化并肩而居。

每天在家，就像在参加国际美食节。餐桌的一边：妈妈的天津捞面，热气腾腾，香气扑鼻。另一边：爸爸的意大利面，缠绕着番茄酱，色彩鲜亮。

有时是妈妈的天津饺子，皮薄馅大，多汁柔软，像一个个小宝贝。对面则是爸爸的波兰饺子，包着土豆和奶酪，热气腾腾，饱满厚实。

葱油饼在锅里吱吱作响，披萨则在烤箱里慢慢烘烤。

我们一起欢笑，一起品尝，一起分享故事。我们的餐桌从来不仅仅是食物，而是家庭、记忆和爱的交织。

人们常说，食物是用爱与时间烹饪出来的。当我的爸爸妈妈做饭时，我能在每一道菜里尝到他们的爱。他们非常爱我，而我也很爱他们。

我的家庭就是爱……而爱尝起来真美味。

愿你的家中充满温暖、味道与值得分享的故事。
