「What to do with a broken arm?」

She is missing an arm, what can she do?

It is OK, she will be fine, because she is very strong, so strong that she went back to the sea safely and smoothly!

Sea turtles are protected species in Taiwan.

Green sea turtles are commonly found in Taiwan’s territorial waters.

Sea turtles are often accidently caught by fishermen, stranded or entangled in fishing nets, and sent to shelters for treatment.

If the turtles are found to be healthy, they are released back into the sea when the weather is favorable.

The sea turtle in the photo was seriously「amputated」because of being entangled in a fishing net.

After a long period of care and treatment, she was eventually returned to the sea! Despite the loss of an arm, she is still trying hard to survive!

Whenever there is a lack of motivation in life, I always take the photo out and look at her, wondering how she is doing in the sea, and at the same time, I also think how hard she is trying to live, and it seems to me, there is no reason not to work hard too.

Even though she is just a turtle, she always heals me and becomes my motivation to move forward! How amazing!
