Do you take photos of buildings?

Yes, I definitely do. Whenever I go out, I always bring my camera along because I'm quite passionate about architecture. But rather than taking photos of the entire building, I prefer capturing subtle details, such as the unique textures of the walls or the dramatic play of light and shadow.

Is there a building that you would like to visit?

Well, recently I've developed a keen interest in Buddhism. If given the chance, I'd really love to visit Tibet to appreciate the magnificent Buddhist temples there. I find their vibrant colors fascinating, and they truly reflect a deeply mysterious culture.

Do you want to live in tall buildings?

To be honest, no. One major reason is convenience—if the elevator breaks down and you have to climb up twenty stories, it could be a total disaster. Another concern is safety; it could be quite dangerous if you happen to encounter a natural disaster like an earthquake.

Do you have any hobbies?

Yes, I have a wide range of hobbies spanning from sports to arts. I've learned several musical instruments since I was a child, including the guitar, drums, and a traditional Chinese instrument called guzheng. Besides music, I play tennis every week and occasionally badminton.

Did you have any hobbies when you were a young child?

Yes, as I just mentioned, back in primary school I took weekly guzheng classes. My mother paid a lot of attention to cultivating my interests, so she supported me whole-heartedly.

Do you have the same hobbies as any of your family members?

Yes, I share quite a few hobbies with my mother. For example, I took up the guzheng because she had been interested in it since she was young. We also play tennis together regularly—initially, she got bored watching me practice from the sidelines, so she decided to join the class too!

How often do you go shopping?

I usually go grocery shopping on a weekly basis to buy fresh vegetables, fruits, and food supplies needed for the week.

Do you prefer online shopping or in-store shopping?

Well, it depends on what I'm buying. For clothes or shoes, I prefer online shopping because there is a much wider selection and I can take my time comparing options without feeling pressured by sales assistants standing nearby. However, for fresh produce, I prefer buying in-store so I can check them physically to make sure they aren't rotten or defective.

Have you ever returned anything that you bought online?

No, I haven't really returned anything. I have bought clothes that didn't fit properly—either too big or too small—but I didn't bother returning them. Repackaging and shipping them back takes too much time and effort. Since they weren't very expensive, I just kept them or gave them to two of my friends.

Describe an important decision that you made.

An important decision I made was transferring to a new major after completing my freshman year at university. I made this choice for several key reasons. The primary reason was my long-standing passion for philosophy, which started back in high school. However, due to university admission policies at the time, I wasn't admitted to the philosophy department initially and was placed in public management instead. During my first year, I audited several philosophy courses while taking my required classes. That experience made me realize where my true passion lay. In my public management classes, we focused on practical questions like 'how to design a corporation to maximize efficiency'. But in philosophy, we examined fundamental questions like 'why should we maximize efficiency in the first place?'. I found this second line of questioning far more captivating. To make this transition happen, I did thorough preparation. I consulted professors from both departments, read extensively in philosophy, and audited relevant courses to build a solid foundation. Looking back, this decision was immensely important to me because it was not just about pursuing a personal interest—it ultimately determined my future career path.

Do you think children sometimes have to make important decisions?

Of course. Everyone has to make decisions, including children. While some choices might seem trivial, others can have significant consequences. Learning how to make decisions early on is crucial because it's a vital life skill. Parents should create safe opportunities for children to make choices while providing adequate support, both verbally and mentally.

What important decisions do teenagers need to make after graduation?

I think the most critical decision facing most high school or college graduates is whether to pursue a higher academic degree or enter the workforce immediately. This decision carries long-term consequences, so teenagers need to carefully weigh various factors, such as their personal career interests and financial or emotional support from their families.

Who can children turn to for help when making a decision?

Children can turn to different people depending on the nature of the issue. On the one hand, they can consult their parents, whose advice is often more practical due to their life experience and deep understanding of their children. On the other hand, for more sensitive topics, children might prefer talking to peers or friends to avoid generation gaps or feeling judged by parents.

Do you think advertisements can influence our decisions when shopping?

Definitely. That's precisely why companies invest heavily in advertising. For instance, when an industry expert appears in a commercial to vouch for a product, consumers naturally feel a higher level of trust. Similarly, when superstars or idols endorse products, fans are eager to support them. Furthermore, commercials with catchy, memorable BGMs or vibrant visuals can unconsciously persuade consumers to choose those products.

Do you think the influence of advertising is good or not?

It's a double-edged sword. On the positive side, good advertisements save buyers time during the purchasing process by narrowing down choices, thereby reducing decision fatigue. On the negative side, advertisements tend to highlight only the strengths of a product while deliberately under-representing its shortcomings, which can sometimes lead consumers to make impulse purchases.
