************************************************************

In this episode, we'll take you on a journey into my's childhood memories in a place called "Gou li" 🌄. It was all mountains, forests, and hardworking parents, and her grandparents from Shandong who added a dash of flavor to their lives 🌳👨‍👩‍👦‍👦.

As a kid, she was a bit of a loner, but that just made her imagination run wild 🧚‍♂️ - from pretending to be a kung-fu hero 🥋 to catching frogs after the rain 🐸. And oh, the frog-catching, that turned into some delicious frog dishes 🍲.

Join us as we share the vivid sights, sounds, and tastes of my formative years, painting a vivid picture of a simpler, yet incredibly rich, childhood 🎨🌟.
