Parkour Saved My Neck

At 18 years old, Lin Jun-xi's aspiration to become a world-class athlete came to an abrupt end when she broke her neck in a freak accident at college. After languishing in the doldrums for 20 years, she is now an ardent advocate for the gravity-defying urban training discipline known as parkour.

In this episode, we find out how Jun-xi and her family overcame the grueling journey to recovery; what unforgettable scene in Jun-xi's life suddenly reopened the door to her heart; and why now, in her 40s, Jun-xi still prefers to be footloose and fancy-free, cruising through life without the constraints of marriage.
