Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years.

Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to make up for my disability pension (殘疾撫恤金). ? ?  I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited(限制) in my choices. I decided that I would consider ? ?  to singing in restaurants.

My family are all musicians, so I was ? ?  when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of ? ?   to get started. And often you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can ? ? use.

When I told the owner of the shop about my ? ? ; he gave me a long thoughtful        . “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.”

He led me ? ?  the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand ? ? on his treasure(財寶) and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your pick and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”

I could have cried. Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose    ?  that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.
