Abstract Starting with the “pain of division”experienced after my study in Taiwan to the inward "perception" , this paper describes that i begin to look inward, exploring my own life journey and seeking answers through the method of self narration. From my father's and mother's life histories, which were also their personal micro-histories, as well as the big histories they were in, I understand the source of the “sense of abandonment” that I often feel. Similarly, I also walk into my own life story, starting from the initial memories of my life and gradually understanding the powerful driving force of the value that I have been believing in and persuing behind my "pain of division". Meanwhile, in the process of facing my own pain and my physical and mental transformation, I often go to the practice field with practitioners of traditional culture. Consequently, I narrate our common story in the phenomenon field of interaction with them in the way of life history and regrading myself as a practical tool, which is an "encounter", where people all are mutual subjects. Seeing their soft treatment of themselves, and the way they treat me, I also see the “correspondence” between the connotation of the Oriental culture with my own life. Along the way of narrating, reflecting and practicing and in the chaos, I realize the subject growing up inside me, which is the fresh and dynamic vitality springing up like mushrooms, making me have the direction and path that I want to practice in the future. Key words: Self narration, Life history, Physical and mental transformation, Oriental culture,Humanistic
