獻給台灣國標舞女王劉真的一段抖音迷因＋ＹＴ影片 / A Tik Tok & Youtube video tribute to Liu Zhen (Serena Liu) the recently deceased Taiwanese Dancing Queen:

( 英文版向下看 /scroll down for English version)
最近病逝的劉真是咱們台灣的國標舞女王，也是我們台灣的驕傲。台灣藝人滿街跑，但是素質卻都。。。

英文版 / English version：
Liu Zhen (Serena Liu), who has recently deceased, has long been crowned “Taiwan’s Dancing Queen.” Taiwanese celebrities are everywhere, but the qualities of them are meh.

• 相信很多人小時候都做過明星夢，尤其是正在成長蛻變的青少年。殘編赴

加拿大念書正值國、高中的青春期，當時才知道，咱們台灣以「很容易當明星」出名。很多來自各國的亞洲朋友都告訴我，將來的志向是要來台灣當明星。其中有一位男性朋友也順利實現了夢想，現在是台灣當紅的超偶男星團體之一。殘編不得不佩服他的毅力和實力。

英文版 / English version：
Many people dream of becoming celebrities when they are young, especially during adolescence, when our bodies are going through transformation (aka. teenagers). I happened to be a teenager when I first moved to Canada. It was not until then I learned that Taiwan is famous for having easy access to becoming a celebrity.” Many Asian friends from various countries of mine have told me that their future goal is to move to Taiwan and become a star. One of my male friends has even successfully achieved his dream and is now one of Taiwan’s popular boy group. His persistence and determination have absolutely impressed me.

• 可能是咱們的文化讓殘編深深感覺在台灣，只要嘴炮一轟或藝壇有熟識的

人就能當藝人。因此，殘編從小就拒絕看任何台灣的偶像劇或連續劇。不是不想，而是屢屢嘗試，都很難看得下去，否則我也很想多多接觸自己的文化，當個「正港」的台灣人。平心而論，台灣藝人的素質跟水準，總是令人失望，反而讓我對台灣更沒信心。
劉真是少數讓我佩服的藝人。她曼妙專業的舞姿，不僅稱得上是「台灣的國標舞女王」，論談吐、舉止都是氣質優雅迷人，高貴有水準。紅顏是否真的薄命？僅僅44歲的她，卻在不久前的3月22日病逝於台北榮民總醫院。

英文版 / English version：
Maybe it’s just our culture. But from what I see, as long as one is full of BS or have connections, one can easily become a star in Taiwan. So I have refused to watch any Taiwanese dramas or Taiwanese hit TV shows. It’s not prejudice, but after endless attempts, I just can’t. I tried, I REALLY tried. I’m sure most of you who have been raised abroad have experienced the sense of feeling lost and trying to find your own identity. I had gone through the same experience and was desperate to get in touch with my roots, so I’d have a place I could call “home” and become a “real” Taiwanese. But when it comes to quality and talents, our bars for celebrities are just set too low. Every time I try, I get disappointed.
Liu Zhen (Serena Liu) is one of the few Taiwanese artists that I genuinely admire. She dances gracefully and professionally and has well earned the title of “Taiwan’s Dancing Queen” hands down. Not just her talents, her people skills and behavior is also graceful and charming. There is a Chinese idiom “Hong Yen Buo Ming (紅顏薄命),“ which means “a woman with a pretty face often lives an unfortunate life. Recently, Liu passed away on March 22, 2020, at Taipei Veterans Hospital at age 44.

• 雖然這趟人生的旅程劉真沒有走得很久，但殘編還是覺得她這段旅程活得

精彩也圓滿了。她2014年幸福結婚，2016年產下女兒，在離開人間之前的十年內，把咱們一般人的人生目標都達成了。她也啟發了最近忙著拍片的殘編的拍片靈感，製作抖音迷因跟ＹＴ影片，藉以向劉真致敬。

英文版 / English version：
Liu‘s journey of life may not be the longest, but she sure lived it to the fullest. During the last decade of her life, she got happily married in 2014 and gave birth to an adorable daughter in 2016, accomplishing what most wants to achieve in life in just 10 years. The video in this post is inspired by Liu Zhen and paying tribute to the dancing legend.

• 劉真，妳已從「國標舞女王」晉升為「國標舞天使」了。妳曼妙的舞姿，將永遠牢牢镌刻在我們的心中，願妳繼續在天堂裡舞出天使的心聲，就如妳在人間舞出人類的心聲一般，一路好走。

英文版 / English version：
Liu, you have been promoted from “Dancing Queen” to “Dancing Angel.” You had a good run. Your legacy will forever live on in our hearts, may you rest in peace and keep dancing in heaven for the angels.
