1.蘇北光明行動< Record year for sight restoration program >
Since 2005, Tzu Chi volunteers in China's Jiangsu region have been running a vision restoration program. Many poor local people have cataracts in their eyes but no money for treatment. After the issue came to their attention, Tzu Chi volunteers organized a program to recover these people's eyesight. This year a total of 1,950 patients received sight-saving operations in the Suyu(宿豫) and Sucheng(宿城) districts of Suqian(宿遷) City, as well as the three counties of Siyang(泗陽), Sihong(泗洪), and Shuyang(沭陽). From 2005-2007, 1,400 patients were treated. This year alone, nearly 2,000 people have undergone cataract surgery.
< Grand opening of eye surgery program >
On this crisp autumn morning there is already a chill in the air. Tzu Chi volunteers have brought a message of love to the cold atmosphere.
"Tzu Chi Foundation Sucheng District, Suqian City, cataracts patient vision restoration surgery grand opening!"
< Family connection with Jiangsu >
Volunteers have been running a vision restoration program since 2005, because they feel a family-like connection with the people here.
Patient: "I can't see your face. I can't see you eyes. I can only see a blurry image of you."
< Poor villagers get cataract operations >
This patient's blurry vision is caused by cataracts. Unwilling to go to the doctor, and unable to afford treatment, the elderly woman chose to put up with her condition until she went blind. Understanding the problems of villagers, Tzu Chi reached out a helping hand to help restore the patients' vision.
"How many fingers? 2."
"How many now? 5."
"How many now? 4."
"Right!"
"You win a prize! Congratulations, here's a candy!"
"Thank you!"
< Patients' relatives moved to tears >
Family members are moved to tears.
< Patient's relative >
You coming here moves me very deeply. You're amazing, and very loving.
Patient's relative, Li Yun: "Thank you to your Foundation for saving my father, by helping restore his vision."
A farmer's daughter, forced to leave the area to find work, Li Yun(李雲) never stops thinking about her father, who needs to be cared for at home. Now the weight that was on her mind has finally been lifted.
< Tzu Chi helps patients see again >
Just like them in 2009, in the counties of Siyang(泗陽), Sihong(泗洪) and Shuyang(沭陽), as well as the districts of Suyu(宿豫) and Sucheng(宿城), nearly 2,000 cataract patients received surgery with the help of Tzu Chi. (CGout) The volunteers efforts have been acknowledged.
"Thank you Taiwan Tzu Chi Foundation. Taiwan's vision restoration program shows the feeling of compatriotism across the Strait, as today building harmony on both sides, and striving together for Chinese peace"
< New vision for a brighter future >
Here in the Jiangsu region of China, renewed clarity, enlightenment, and a new vision seems to breathe new life into the auditorium, which is full of bright sunny smiles.
慈濟人從2005年開始，在中國大陸的江蘇展開光明行動，由於當地許多貧病人家得到白內障卻沒錢治療，慈濟人了解之後要付出愛的行動，今年志工共幫助1950名白內障病患，分別在宿遷市的宿豫區、宿城區，還有泗陽縣、泗洪縣、沭陽縣，從2005年到2007年就幫助了1400位患者，光今年就幫助了近2000位的白內障患者
秋天的清晨在濃霧中已經能感受到涼意，慈濟人在涼意中捎來一分愛的訊息。慈濟慈善基金會，宿遷市城區白內障患者光明手術啟動儀式。從2005年開始光明行動延續至今，這都是因為一家人的情，牽引至今。
我看不到你的臉，也看不到你眼，只能看到你模模糊糊的。患者視力模糊不清正是因為白內障 惹的禍，不願看醫生也沒錢治療，老人家選擇忍受 一直到失明，了解到鄉親的苦，慈濟人伸出雙手，幫助患者拾回新視野，患者家屬流下感動的淚水。
你們來這裡，我非常感動，你們很了不起很有愛心，感謝你們基金會，救助我父親，幫我父親恢復了光明。
農村兒女，李雲，必需到外地打工，她總是掛念需要人照料，父親的生活起居，現在的她，終於放下內心這一塊大石頭。
就如同他們，在2009年，包括泗陽、泗洪、沭陽，還有宿豫區、宿城區，在慈濟的幫助下，讓近兩千名白內障病患進行手術，慈濟愛的行動受到迴響。
謝謝台灣慈濟慈善基金會，台灣慈善送光明，盡顯海峽同胞情，如今兩岸構合諧，共振中華享太平。
這一刻，在中國江蘇，恢復清晰、光明、新視野，似乎就象徵著新生命的到來，也讓大家的臉上露出燦爛笑容。
2.四川環保校園< Raising awareness of conservation >
Staying in China, the province of Sichuan hit the headlines in May of last year when a massive earthquake struck the region. Tzu Chi volunteers have been nursing shaken communities back to health, for the past year and a half. Traveling from Taiwan to Sichuan in successive groups, they have been delivering a constant supply of love and care. This time, volunteers returned to Luoshui Town, to visit local students. The caregivers also took the opportunity to raise awareness of conservation, and show the children how to properly recycle their garbage.
< First exposure to recycling >
Putting on thick gloves, these students are going to give recycling a try for the first time. The cast-offs are separated into different piles after careful consideration. It is Tzu Chi's fourth time to promote environmentalism at the school.
Luoshui Middle School teacher, Zhang Qinglong: "Tzu Chi volunteers lead by example, which is very inspirational for us teachers. They have done a lot for our school, we still hope that they can continue giving us lessons on conservation, and on the humanities, too."
< Involving school and community >
Outside, children are scrambling to get a glimpse of the lesson that is taking place in the classroom. Inside, the class reps listen attentively, for they will be passing on the conservation knowledge to their peers.
Luoshui Middle School student, Luo Jiayu: "I will begin with myself and promote it to the public, to all those around me. I want everyone to be eco-conscious. Let's all get involved in recycling work."
< Positive social influence in Sichuan >
Since the earthquake, Tzu Chi's assistance has become a constant force of support and a positive influence for local volunteers.
Sichuan volunteer, Ma Guozhen: "Before, playing mahjong took up all my free time. Now, my hands have found their new purpose in recycling."
Sichuan volunteer, Yang Yunlan: "After I joined Tzu Chi, I promised myself to never touch mahjong again. Every afternoon I come to Tzu Chi to help with recycling. Coming here takes all my worries away."
< Respect yourself, love the planet >
Who would have known that something as simple as doing recycling could help people quit gambling and even smoking. Loving the earth indeed generates life-changing returns.
去年五月，四川大地震傷亡慘重登上國際頭條，慈濟志工持續關懷這片受傷的土地已經一年半了，一團接著一團的志工來分享愛與關懷，這次志工再次來到洛水鎮拜訪學生，更重要的是要提升大家對環保的意識，以及各種類的分類要訣。
戴起手套，學生們要第一次體驗做環保，要仔細打量、思考，分類這些回收物，這是慈濟第四次來到這邊推動環保。
慈濟都是身體力行的教育，給了我們老師很多的啟示，他們為學校做了很多，但是我們還是很希望，再多次的機會接觸慈濟的環保教育，以及各方面的人文引導。
在外頭，這群好奇的孩子爭相的要看屋裡的課程，而教室裡面，每位班級代表都仔細的聽，因為他們回到教室之後都會成為環保小老師。
從我自己做起，然後去向大家宣傳，身邊的每一個人，讓每一個人都留下對環保的深刻印象，我們一起做環保。大地震之後，慈濟志工的幫助，不但是一股強化人心的力量，也對當地志工有正面的影響。
以前，沒事做就打麻將了，我現在就用雙手來做環保。自從進到慈濟以後，我就發願，說我不打麻將了，我現在每天下午，都到慈濟來做環保，到這裡來，我心裡什麼煩惱都沒有了。
沒想到，環保這麼簡單的工作，竟然會幫忙戒到賭癮以及煙癮，愛地球得到的回應會改變一生。
3.志工褲布料< Tzu Chi's new stain-proof pants >
As with the Sichuan earthquake last year, Tzu Chi volunteers provide emergency and long-term support, in the aftermath of natural disasters all around the world. Their signature blue and white uniforms are now synonymous with compassion and relief. Unfortunately, more often than not, the white pants end up getting stained, and lose their luster after an aid mission, or even a regular day of service work. However, thanks to the Tzu Chi International Humanitarian Aid Association, a new type of breathable, but water-, and stain-proof fabric, is being tried out on Tzu Chi's trousers.
< Signature blue and white lookT >
Wherever there is disaster, Tzu Chi will find its way to deliver relief. In August and September of this year, in the aftermath of the devastating typhoons that swept through Taiwan and the Philippines, tens of thousands of volunteers were mobilized to help restore the affected areas.
< Keeping the pants smudge-free >
In the pursuant clean-up, volunteers opted for navy pants instead of the easily soiled white trousers. However, as Tzu Chi is known for their signature blue and white look, more than two years ago, the Tzu Chi International Humanitarian Aid Association began research a breathable, water- and stain-proof fabric to give the perfect foundation for Tzu Chi's white pants. The result is impressive.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Luo Zhongyou: "This experiment simulates various kinds of situations. We have soy sauce, juice, coffee, and some other liquid here. They are poured over the fabric, and all you need is a little bit of water to take out the stain.
And here, we have the white fabric. It's impermeable to water but lets air through."
< Functional and comfortable >
The fabric has proven its remarkable functions. But how does it feel on the skin?
Tzu Chi volunteer, Zheng Qinghui: "It's comfortable, breathable, and quick-drying too. It's fairly stain-proof. Normally white pants are prone to smudges and dirt, but this fabric here, even if you spilled coffee over it, just give it a few rubs under running water and everything will come out."
Thanks to the innovations of the Tzu Chi International Humanitarian Aid Association, in the near future, volunteers can wear the blue and white uniform for even the dirtiest of jobs, and still maintain a neat look.
四川發生地震後，慈濟志工提供長期援助，只要世界上有嚴重天災的地方，就有慈濟人出現湧入，給予人道救援，慈濟藍天白雲的身影代表的是慈悲與救援的精神，不過白色的長褲卻不耐髒，在出勤或是一天的志工活動結束下來往往都會弄髒，不過，在慈濟國際人道援助會的研發之下，現在防水、透氣又耐髒的布料已經問世，將用來做慈濟的白褲。
只要一有災難，慈濟志工一定會想盡辦法協助受災人民，今年八月與九月，一連串強颱侵襲台灣與菲律賓，數萬慈濟志工出動到災區展開清掃，志工在打掃的時候，換下易髒的白褲，改穿深藍色的褲子，但是藍天白雲畢竟是慈濟人的標誌，因此兩年多前 人援會志工研發，防水透氣耐髒的布料，用來製作白褲用，成果令人相當滿意。
目前我們是模擬各種的狀況，這是醬油、果汁、咖啡或者是其他的液體，萬一滴在褲子上面，只要用水沖一下 髒污就沒了，這個部份這是一個白色的布料，這是可以防水的，水過不去，但是氣透的來。
布料的功效有目共睹，但是穿在身上的感覺是如何呢。
感覺舒適，通風也很好，覺得很快乾，比較不容易髒，像一般的白褲很容易弄髒，像這件白褲，假如滴到咖啡，揉一揉就可以洗掉。
人援會的研發，讓志工在未來，不管是何種工作，都可以穿著白褲也不怕髒。
4.黃敏南就學< Care recipient skin disorder healed >
When both their parents were jailed five years ago, little children Liao Ziting(廖姿婷) and Liao Mingkai(廖銘凱) were taken in by a family friend, Huang Mingnan(黃敏南). An adopted child himself, Huang could sympathize with the two infants, who are now only just attending elementary school. However, some four years ago, Huang suffered an immune system disorder, which led to rashes all over his skin, including his face. His odd appearance caused him to lose his job. Without an income, not only did the family go hungry, but the two children's tuition even became a problem. Thankfully, Tzu Chi's scholarship relief program took care of that; and also made Huang a care recipient. Now, even his skin disorder has received the treatment it needs.
< Huang lost job because of skin condition >
A red rash covers Huang Mingnan's whole body, and large areas of his skin are chapped. Four years ago, an immune system disorder caused this skin disease, and because of his strange looks, Huang lost his job as a car salesman.
Care recipient, Huang Mingnan: "This kind of skin disease is not infectious, but it might still be a little scary to some. They would worry if it were infectious."
< US$10 for 8 hour day at chicken farm >
With the breadwinner sick and unable to find a job, the wife takes over the responsibilities. Working at a chicken farm, Shi Meigen makes a meager 10 US dollars for her eight hours of service a day.
Huang Mingnan's wife, Shi Meigen: "I can't make much. I only hope for us to not go hungry."
< Two adopted children to bring up >
And it's not just food for two; the couple has to raise two children, given to them by a friend and his wife who were carted off to jail five years ago.
Huang Mingnan's adopted daughter, Liao Ziting: "My dad is so nice! He takes us out to play."
Care recipient, Huang Mingnan: "The children are my good karma. I won't consider the money issue. When I was little, my family's economic situation was bad, too. My foster parents still raised me the same."
< Tzu Chi scholarships pay off tuition >
However, as Huang's skin condition worsened, he was eventually left unable to pay for medical insurance, which in turn delayed his treatments. Thankfully, Tzu Chi's scholarship relief program helped pay off the children's tuition first, and took Huang in as a care recipient, where he was brought to Dalin Tzu Chi General Hospital for treatments.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Jiang Jipeng: "His body condition must be solved, and his appearance must be restored, so he can find a job to support his family."
< Skin problem cleared up! >
With the care of volunteers and the professional help of the doctors, Huang is finally rid of the his skin disorder. Deeply grateful, Huang immediately joined the ranks of the volunteers.
Care recipient, Huang Mingnan: "I once received help from others, now we need to give back to society as well."
From care receiver to now a care giver, Huang has rediscovered his confidence, and the happiness within.
當父母五年前雙雙入獄，廖姿婷和廖銘凱，被交給他父母的朋友黃敏南照顧，自己本身也是養子，對於這對才上小學姊弟的處境能夠感同身受，然而 四年多前，黃敏南因免疫系統失調，造成全身皮膚出現紅腫疹塊，異樣的外觀也無法工作，沒了經濟收入，不但挨餓，兩個孩子的學費成了問題。
還好今年慈濟的安心就學方案解決了燃眉之急，黃敏南也成照顧戶，甚至他的皮膚也得到了治療。
紅腫疹塊不但遍佈黃敏南全身，還有大塊脫皮的現象，四年前，免疫系統失調，造成皮膚疾病，異樣的外觀，原本，汽車銷售業務的工作也跟著丟了。
這種皮膚的問題，其實它不會傳染來，是可能會有一點人家會怕怕說，會不會傳染的問題。
一家之主找不到工作，換太太出門打拼生計，靠著養雞場，每天八小時，美金10元的收入。
賺不多來說，只求我們能溫飽這樣。
不只是兩人溫飽，夫妻還得養育一對姊弟，因他們父母五年前入獄，把孩子託付給他們。
爸爸很好，會帶我們出去玩。
孩子們跟我有緣，我不會考慮經濟因素，當我還小時，我家庭經濟也不好，我的養父母還是把我養大。
然而，隨著黃敏南皮膚更嚴重，甚至無法負擔醫療費用，就醫都有困難，還好慈濟安心就學方案，付起小朋友的學費也協助他就醫，並帶他到大林慈濟醫院就診接受治療。
一定要解決他的身體外表的這個疾病狀況，他才能有機會再來找一份工作來維持家庭的生活。
慈濟志工的倍伴和專業醫師的協助，治好黃敏南困擾多年的皮膚病，為了感恩，黃敏南加入志工的行列。
曾經受過人家的幫助，但是我們也要回饋給社會，從手心向上到手心向下，黃敏南在付出中找到自信和快樂。
5.馬腎友陳松蓮< Stories from the kidney clinic >
Tzu Chi's free dialysis clinic in Butterworth, Malaysia, has a regular patient by the name of Chen Songlian(陳松蓮). Blind from diabetes-related glaucoma, it is the dialysis she that has to go through, that pains her the most. Though Chen's life has been hard, she has been blessed by a devoted son, Wu Junheng(吳俊亨). Wu long ago learned how to be thankful for what he has, and to give back whenever he can. He now spends his time working, and looking after his mother. Three days every week, he escorts Chen to the dialysis clinic. It's not easy, but Wu believes, that since his mother struggled so hard to raise him, it's only right for him to strive on her behalf.
< Wu Junheng's happy family >
Swings and seesaws are the childhood memories most people carry. For 19-year-old Wu Junheng, things are different; as a child, he already understood, there was no extra money at home. He never asked for toys; only for his mother to take him to the playground.
< Blind dialysis patient Chen Songlian >
Junheng's mother, Chen Songlian, is a dialysis patient in Tzu Chi's Butterworth dialysis center. For years, Songlian has had diabetes,
causing her to go blind; She lives in darkness, and can only "see" with her fingers. From blindness, to dialysis: from bad to worse.
When her family departs for work, Songlian stays at home by herself, Folding traditional sacrificial totems out of paper, to earn some extra money.
Dialysis patient, Chen Songlian: "It's not hard, and it kills time."
< A mother's love, a child's love >
A mother's care for her children is an unalterable precept.But now, Songlian must rely on her child, Junheng. Fortunately, the man
doesn't think the responsibility as a burden. Instead, he sees it as an opportunity. Three days every week, Mother and son hold hands,
walking together into the dialysis room. He helps his mother with the entire process, then leaves for work.
Nurse, Huang Minyu: "At first, I didn't really see anything special. Because first, his mother can't see. She needs someone at her side, to help. But one day I happened to see her son feeding his mother, and it really gave me a warm feeling. He doesn't take his mother's agony
as an excuse to ignore her. He makes time for her, and even feeds her.
< Don't count him out! >
Junheng is never too busy to do good. If Tzu Chi has activities, like recycling, or charity bazaars, He will attend, no matter what. He seizes his every chance to join in.
Chen Songlian's son, Wu Junheng: "I want to say to my mother that, since you gave birth to us - your two sons - now let the two of us take care of you."
Dialysis patient, Chen Songlian: "My children hold my hands as we walk in and I feel very happy. I have someone I can rely on. I want them to have a good perspective on the future: To be a useful person; To serve the community; and to do something for our Tzu Chi."
慈濟北海洗腎中心，有一位腎友叫做陳松蓮，她的眼睛因為糖尿病得到青光眼而失明，沒想到後來又罹患腎臟病，必須痛苦的靠洗腎來度日，雖然命運如此坎坷，陳松蓮卻有一個孝順的兒子吳俊亨。即使從小就過著清寒的生活，不過他卻懂得反哺回饋的心，一邊工作 一邊照顧媽媽，每個星期 有三天帶媽媽去洗腎，他說，媽媽辛辛苦苦扶養他，現在該是他盡孝道的時候了。
在遊樂場盪鞦韆、坐蹺蹺板是許多人的兒時記憶，而這些回憶對十九歲的吳俊亨而言有著深刻的印象，小時侯的俊亨就曉得家裏清寒，不敢要求父母親買玩具給他，只要媽媽帶著他們兄弟倆到遊樂場玩就已經滿足了。
俊亨的母親陳松蓮是北海慈濟洗腎中心的腎友，幾年前松蓮本身因為糖尿病導致青光眼，雙眼失明，活在黑暗的世界裏，只能靠感覺去觸摸，如今又患上腎臟病需要洗腎，真是雪上加霜，每當先生和孩子外出打工，松蓮就獨自一人在家裡，折著民間祭祀的的紙扎品，貼補家用。
媽媽照顧小孩，天經地義，不過，現在松蓮卻得靠孩子每天照顧她，然而，俊亨不覺得是個負擔，反而認為是盡孝道的時候了。每個星期有三天，母子倆會攜手，一步一步慢慢的走入洗腎室洗腎，協助媽媽做完所有洗腎，該有的流程，再去上班。
其實之前，我是覺得沒有些什麼，因為首先，他的媽媽看不到，一定需要一個人從旁邊協助她，不過直到有一天，我就無意中看到他的大兒子餵他媽媽吃飯，我就覺得很溫馨的感覺，就是他不會因爲媽媽的病苦，然後不理他的媽媽，反而他會願意用他的時間就餵他媽媽吃飯。
俊亨並不會因為忙碌的生活而忽略了行善，慈濟有活動不管是環保或是素食義賣會，他都會把握當下及時付出。
我要跟她媽媽講的就是說，既然你生了我們倆兄弟出來，就讓我們倆兄弟去照顧你。
我的孩子牽我的手走進來，我覺得很幸福 有一個依靠，希望他們也是有個前途的孩子，要做一個有用的人，要為社會服務，要為我們慈濟做一點事。
6.瓜地馬拉食堂< Dining in heaven >
Transcending boundaries, religions and ethnicities, Tzu Chi volunteers in Guatemala have been working with a Catholic-run cafeteria to provide food to impoverished seniors and children in the neighborhood. Though the dishes are all very simple, to the diners, the meals are like manna from heaven.
< Catholic cafeteria supported by Tzu Chi >
The Spanish logo "Ven Conmigo" means "follow-me". To its right is Tzu Chi's logo. This is a Catholic cafeteria for the poor where Tzu Chi helps out every month.
< Serving very basic dishes >
As Tzu Chi volunteers arrive with new supplies, a whole pot of black beans has just finished cooking.
Ven Conmigo staff, Corona: "I have cooked 15 lb. of fried rice. There are also black beans, pickles, and drinks."
< Cafeteria only runs 4 days a week >
A well-aged note pad carefully documents the numbers of diners on each day. For now, the cafeteria provides lunch to at least 63 people every day, from Tuesday through Friday.
Ven Conmigo staff, Corona: "We can only provide lunch to people four days out of the week due to the limited donations we get."
< 7 years of support from Tzu Chi >
This Catholic cafeteria relies on donations from outside in order to stay in operation. Over the past seven years, Tzu Chi has helped rebuild the kitchen, dining hall, and the water tank.
Tzu Chi Guatemala director, Ke Cifa: "We supply them with 100 lbs of rice and black beans each month. We also bring them corn starch and sugar. Basically, whenever they tell us they need something we try to accommodate."
< Poor children, elderly dine at cafeteria >
It is nearly 12 in the afternoon, and people begin to congregate inside the cafeteria. Most of the diners are children, but there are also elderly. They are the poorest of the neighborhood.
10 year-old Lusia brought a big plastic container. She says the food is so delicious that she wants to share it with her elder brother.
Diner, Lusia: "My brother went to harvest tomatoes with my parents, so I am taking some food back to him."
13 year-old Lesvia is also enjoying the meal. Her single mother has to support seven other siblings. She says eating here is like dining in heaven.
Diner, Lesvia: "The food is much better here. We only have corns and black beans at home."
< Sweet and delicious >
The diners here, both young and old, sincerely appreciate each spoonful- for they understand what it holds inside. For them, every bite is as sweet as the candy handed out at the end of the meal- made sweeter by the loving understanding that is helping fill their bellies during this, their time of greatest need.
瓜地馬拉慈濟人和當地一所天主教食堂長期合作，每個月定期送食材給窮苦的老人家及孩童，雖然提供的食物很簡單，對這些人來說卻是神仙美味的餐點。
這個西班牙文標誌"Ven Conmigo"是跟我來的意思，而右邊是慈濟標誌，這是幫助貧困人的天主教食堂，慈濟每個月都會來幫忙。
請調小一點。
慈濟志工帶來新物資的同時，一大鍋的黑豆才剛煮好，我煮了15磅的炒飯，黑豆、 酸瓜還有飲料。
一本陳舊的筆記本，紀錄了每天中午來吃飯的名單，食堂目前一天 至少供應63人的免費伙食，從星期二到星期五，我們僅提供一周四天的午餐，因為捐進來的食物不夠。
食堂的運作全靠愛心捐贈，過去七年來慈濟的愛心不間斷，援建了廚房、吃飯大廳及蓄水池。
我們每個月提供差不多一百磅的米和黑豆，還有部分的玉米粉、糖。就是說，他們告訴我們缺什麼，要什麼東西，我們就補，補給他這些東西。
快到中午12點，食堂陸陸續續聚集了人潮，有小食客，也有幾位年邁的村民，他們都是這個村莊裡特別貧困的人家。
10歲的露西亞帶了一個大大的餐盒來，她說食物很美味想要打包餐盒，特別為哥哥帶回去的，因為哥哥和爸爸媽媽去採收蕃茄，我要替哥哥帶回去的。
13歲的莉斯菲亞吃的很滿足，她來自於單親家庭，媽媽還養育其他七個兄弟姊妹，在食堂用餐像是美味的天堂，因為在家裡就只有玉米、黑豆。
這裡的老老小小都真心的感恩，每一口吃下肚的餐點深覺津津有味，對他們來說，飯後的一顆糖果是甜蜜的，而在他們最需要協助的時間點，用愛心讓他們填飽肚子，這個感覺更甜蜜。
7.趙爺爺遺愛< Propelling the cycle of giving >
From Guatemala to Taichung in Taiwan, where we remember the life of 93-year-old Zhao Xuexiang(趙學祥), who was a solitary senior under Tzu Chi's care. His neighbor Mr. Wu Xuezhi(吳學志) was a Tzu Chi volunteer, who, for the past five years, made it his daily habit to visit the old veteran. When Mr. Zhao needed hospital treatment, on five different occasions it was Wu who took him there. The two men were closer than family. On Monday, November 3, Mr. Zhao passed away. Tzu Chi volunteers helped take care of his funeral arrangements. They also found that Mr. Zhao left a will, stating that his savings of more than one million NT dollars - or 360,000USD - was to be donated to Tzu Chi, to help disadvantaged people.
< Taking care of solitary Zhao Xuexiang >
This is the funeral of Mr. Zhao Xuexiang(趙學祥), where Tzu Chi volunteers have gathered to give a final farewell to offer prayers for the deceased.
For the past five years, volunteer couple Wu Xuezhi and Lin Caijuan (林彩絹) have been looking after Mr. Zhao like he were their own family.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Wu Xuezhi: "I treated him like my own father, dropping by to say hi everyday. Doing that gave me peace of mind."
< Volunteers act as Zhao's children >
Back in February of this year, on one of Wu's visits Mr. Zhao was having severe problems with his lung, and Wu quickly got him to the hospital. .
Care recipient, Zhao Xuexiang: "If it weren't for him, I would have been long gone. He took me to the hospital so I could be treated. Thank goodness for Tzu Chi volunteers."
At home or in the hospital, Wu and his wife wholeheartedly tended to Mr. Zhao. The old man had no children; both of his marriages ended with his wives dying in childbirth.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Wu Xuezhi: "His two wives passed away, which decimated his faith in life. It was at that point in life he encountered Tzu Chi. Our care and support helped open his heart."
Tzu Chi volunteer, Liu Ishan: "Seeing us was like seeing his own children. Every volunteer was his child."
< Posthumous donation of over NT$1m >
In his last few years, Mr. Zhao was no longer alone because volunteers filled the void in his heart.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Lin Caijuan: "Mr. Zhao watched Da Ai TV and read Jing Si aphorisms too. He was so moved he decided to donate his money to the deprived."
Before he passed away, Mr. Zhao made a will to bequeath his more than 1 million NT dollars in savings to Tzu Chi, to help disadvantaged people. For him, it was a show of gratitude to Tzu Chi, and a continuation of the cycle of giving.
台中有一位 93歲的榮民爺爺趙學祥，他以前是慈濟的獨居關懷對象，住在附近的慈濟志工吳學志，過去五年來每天固定探訪趙學祥爺爺，趙學祥曾五度進出醫院都是吳學志送他就醫，緊密的互動讓他們像家人般，在11月3日的星期一，趙學祥辭世了，慈濟人也協助辦理後事，而他們發現趙學祥立下遺囑，要把生前一百多萬元積蓄，約3萬6千美元捐給慈濟，幫助需要幫助的人。
在趙爺爺的靈堂前，慈濟志工虔誠助念，祈禱他安祥告別。在過去的五年，慈濟志工吳學志和林彩絹，已經和趙爺爺像一家人般。
我待他如我自己的爸爸，每天看看他才會讓我心安。
回到今年二月，吳學志在關懷趙爺爺時，發現他嚴重肺積水，趕緊將他送醫。
如果不是他，我早已往生，他送我到醫院，我才能康復，感謝有慈濟志工。
在家或在醫院，吳學志和他的妻子全心的照料，趙學祥他沒有子女，兩任妻子都在難產之後往生。
他兩位妻子的往生，讓他感到人生悲苦，而在這時遇上慈濟志工，我們的關心和支持才打開他的心胸。
他把我們當做他自己的兒女，每位志工都是他的孩子，在他最後的幾年，趙爺爺不再孤單，因為志工填滿了他心中的空缺。
趙爺爺看大愛台以及靜思語他很受感動，決定把錢捐出，給需要幫助的人。
在過世前，趙爺爺立下遺囑，要把自己的一百萬積蓄，捐給慈濟幫助需要的人，對他來說，這是感恩的表達和愛的循環。
8.視障馬拉唱片< Record label for blind musicians >
The financial crisis has been especially hard on the disabled. But in our next story, we introduce you to a Taiwanese record label, whose employees are almost all blind. Mala-Music is surviving the slump, because the staff do several jobs at once. The multi-tasking owner, Wang Junjie (王俊傑), who is also a blind musician, says he keeps his spirits up by doing what he loves, for the sake of those at the bottom of the ladder.
< Inspiration for lowly musicians >
Music wonder Wang Junjie (王俊傑) considers the 49.5 square meter size room a music haven. This is the headquarters for Wang's record label company, Mala-music, for blind musicians. The owner, Wang, who is also visually impaired, says he hopes his music will be of inspiration to members on the bottom-rung of society.
Visually impaired musician, Wang Junjie: "I believe the music industry is similar to others because there is a wide gap between the rich and the poor. I feel we need to spend more time, step by step to help the lower-half have the same access as people on the top. This way range will decrease."
< Multitaskers work at Mala-Music >
Although affected by the financial crisis, the team of four people has been able to weather the storm. And besides being the music genius behind the label, Wang also needs to be a good promoter and business-savy as well.
Visually impaired musician, Wang Junjie: "I'm going to introduce something new. It isn't my album, instead it's an activity."
Marketing is just one aspect because employees have to multi-task. Not only do you need a musical background; you must have administrative and accounting experience as well.
"Hello, I have your tickets to the Taipei Fringe Festival."
Staff, Wu Meixian: "I'm in charge of administration, but I do other stuff as well. I answer the phone, manage the internal accounts, and when there are activities or an artist has a new album, I have to publicize it."
< Mala-Music has a promising future >
The music industry is cutthroat and competitive, and riding the waves of success is transient, but Wang Junjie's confidence in his company remains solid. Wang believes he was privileged to gain happiness and strength by going through the hardships of living a handicapped life.
金融風暴對許多弱勢朋友影響很大，但是，在我們今天的故事裡，要你認識一間在台灣的唱片公司，一個僱用視障朋友的公司，這個唱片公司能夠在惡劣環境下生存，都是因為員工一人兼數職，兼數職的負責人王俊傑，也是位視障音樂家。他說，他保持對音樂的熱愛精神，也為社會底層朋友的關懷。
這十五坪大的空間是王俊傑的天堂，也是為視障朋友開設的音樂公司，負責人 王俊傑也是位視障朋友，他說，他希望音樂能鼓舞社會底層朋友。
我相信音樂產業，相似其他文化產業，有很大的貧富差距，我覺得，我們應該花更多時間，透過一站一站，去幫助金字塔底下那一群人，降低階層差距。
由於金融風暴危機，四個人還是努力度過這個風暴，除了當一個天才音樂家，還是要兼任推銷員，當個成功的商人。
我來介紹這個新的專輯，這不是我的唱片 是一個活動。
市場只是一方面而已，要身兼多職，你不只是要音樂背景，也要會行政和會計事務。
你好 ，我這邊是台灣南歌製作單位，有你買的票。
我是行政， 但是我什麼都做 ，人家打電話進來， 一定是我接的，公司的內帳是我做的，有活動或歌手發專輯時也要宣傳。
雖然唱片市場競爭激烈，要開發新通路，但是他有信心公司能熬過，因為他相信，他有較於其他人的優勢，因為人生的路比一般人艱辛，面對困難，總是可以正面看待。
