My Family Comes from Turtle Island


Sylphlike, gregarious, and ambitious, 36-year-old fishmonger Chen Pei-jie uses the latest live broadcasting technology to hawk her father's freshly landed haul directly from the port; however, she dreams of grander things and has her sights firmly set on breaking free of this fishy life.

In this episode, we discover how decades of bad blood in the family has influenced Pei-jie's outlook on life; what event in Pei-jie's younger years left her contemplating the unthinkable; and why the hospitalization of Pei-jie's mother for depression was a turning point for the family.

Host



Chen Pei-jie:I feel the man is very important. Cause I feel you know your girlfriend better. You know your mother better. And you know your sisters better. You need to be a bridge between them.

Chen Ding-jie:That's certain. Cause she's the wife that I chose. So I'll definitely cherish her. I'll love her dearly.

Chen An-qi:I took pills daily, but there was no effect. It's only sick people that can really know.

Chen Jia-yu:You simply need to support your woman. If you support her, she'll give you her all. Yeah, my mother's given her all to this family.

Chen Rui-hao:Because investing isn't like my father with regular income every day. Because sometimes we don't earn a cent for 1-2 months. But suddenly there are market fluctuations and for a couple of months earn lots.

Guest



Han Yi-bang:People like to say to those with depression "You shouldn't keep thinking about unhappy things.
"You shouldn't keep thinking about negative things."
He says it's like saying to someone with a sore stomach "Don't have a sore stomach anymore." The same logic.
