每個大人都是長不大的小孩,每個小孩都是大人的全能英雄,彼此在愛與理解中共同成長。
Every adult is a child who never fully grew up, and every child is an adult’s superhero, as they grow together through love and understanding.

在孩子眼中,大人總是無所不能的英雄。直到有一天,孩子悄悄發現,大人其實也會迷惘、害怕,也有學不會、做不到的時候。隨著世界快速變化,孩子們得一邊學習長大,一邊反過來安慰和教導那些疲憊的大人。而大人們,也在下班後悄悄躲進沙發與劇集裡,承認自己的「沒用」。 原來,每個大人心裡,都還住著那個沒長大的小孩。願我們在彼此的辛苦與不完美裡,相愛、理解,一起好好生活。
To children, adults seem like invincible heroes. One day, though, children quietly begin to realize that adults can feel confused and afraid too, and that there are things they simply cannot learn or manage. As the world changes rapidly, kids must grow up while also comforting and teaching the tired adults around them. Meanwhile, adults come home, sink into the couch, and lose themselves in TV shows, quietly admitting they feel "useless" sometimes. In the end, every adult still carries the child they once were. May we find love and understanding in one another’s struggles and imperfections, and learn to live kindly, together.
