Hope for breast cancer patients

Bamboo weaving in Taiwan



Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I”m Leeway Tsai. Thank you for joining us.



●Coming up in the show today, we have more on Tzu Chi”s winter aid relief in China”s Jiangsu Province, where the provisions, coupled with volunteers” friendliness, brighten the day for many.

●Early stage breast cancer sufferers in Taiwan can now opt for a less invasive cancer tissue removal surgery that does not cause deformity in the breast.

●Later, we find out why the bamboo weaving industry in Taiwan is in decline, and how a handful of weavers are doing their best to pass down the traditional skill.



●今天節目中，持續帶來中國大陸，慈濟冬令發放的報導，這次來到江蘇省，志工帶來物資以及友誼，讓鄉親感到暖洋洋的。

●台灣乳癌初期患者，現在可以選擇一種減低傷害的癌細胞切除手術，避免乳房因手術變形。

●接下來，帶您瞭解台灣的手工竹編為什麼正在消失中，以及為數不多的師傅如何來傳承這項技藝。

1.宿遷冬令訪視Special care for disabled



Tzu Chi winter aid distributions in China”s Jiangsu province reached the Sucheng district of Suqian city. To help disabled residents take their bags of rice and bottles of cooking oil back to their villages, the volunteers made personal visits to their homes. The Suqian area of Jiangsu is on a wide plain and has a history of flooding. Tzu Chi came here in 2005 to organize a sight restoration program, helping 2,000 cataract patients to see again in just one year.



慈濟在中國江蘇的冬令發放，來到宿遷市的宿城區，為了協助居民將大米與油帶回家，志工們到鄉親家訪視，宿遷市多年來時常淹水，在2005年，慈濟曾經舉辦義診，幫助兩千位白內障病患重見光明。







2.貴州助學金380 students receive help



Tzu Chi”s winter aid distribution team in China also made a trip to Guizhou, to hand out scholarship funds to underprivileged students. This time, 380 students received tuition support, and promise to study hard to realize their dreams.



在中國慈濟的冬令發放團，也來到貴州進行助學金發放，這次 有380位同學接受補助，並答應要用功讀書，實現夢想。







3.貴州羅嬋妹Paying another visit to Dongdang village



Staying in Guizhou, in Dongdang Village of Luodian County, lives a very unique couple. The wife, Luo Chanmei羅嬋妹 is blind, and her husband Luo Xiaoyong羅小勇 is an orphan. The poor couple desperately wanted their own house, but could not afford one, as their entire income comes just from a quarter of an acre of land. But with Tzu Chi”s help, the couple and their two children now have a new house, and a brighter future to look forward to.



繼續來看貴州羅甸董當鄉，有一對很特別的夫妻，羅嬋妹，從小就眼盲，嫁給孤兒羅小勇，二人一直渴望有一個完整的家，但靠著一畝半的田，根本無法圓夢，慈濟志工前來協助搭蓋新屋，夫妻與兩個孩子終於有新家，未來也有了更多希望。







4.菩薩林立膚病苦(2)Helping elderly patients register



Many elderly and illiterate people in Taiwan struggle when they go to hospital, because they cannot navigate the registration process. Noticing the problem, college professor Lu Hongyi盧鴻毅 decided to become a hospital volunteer because the confused patients remind him of his own parents.



許多老人家和不識字人，來到醫院很辛苦，因為他們無法掛號，注意到這個問題後，大學生盧鴻毅決定成為醫院志工，是因為看到迷路的病患，讓他想起自己的父母。







5.乳癌自然美Cosmetic improvement



Breast cancer treatment traditionally involves the partial or complete removal of the breast to eradicate cancerous cells. The latest breakthrough in breast cancer treatment is called oncoplastic breast surgery, whereby tumors of less than three centimeters can be removed along with some tissue, without forfeiting the entire breast. The procedure is most suitable for early stage breast cancer patients.



乳癌病患以往接受腫瘤切除手術後，可能會失去部份或是整個乳房，不過醫學最新發現，以「整型式乳房保留手術」，三公分以下的腫瘤，只需要切除局部組織，不需切除整個乳房，這個手術特別適合癌症初期病患。







6.廖慶財化大愛A creative idea



Staying in Taiwan, Kaohsiung volunteer Liao Qingcai and his wife were a part of Tzu Chi since the 90”s. Sadly, a few years ago, Liao”s wife passed on. But the widower continued with his efforts on recycling work.



繼續來看在台灣，高雄慈濟志工廖慶財，從90年代就跟著妻子加入慈濟，不過幾年前妻子因病過世，而廖慶財將小愛化為大愛，持續投入環保工作。







7.馬難民感恩會94,000 without proper medical care



Tzu Chi has been working with the UN refugee agency- UNHCR in Malaysia since 2004 to offer free medical care to refugee communities. At the free clinics that take place in Selayang, in Selangor, in 2011 alone doctors treated more than 1,000 refugees. The local Tzu Chi chapter recently organized a thank-you party for a group of volunteer -who are also refugees - who serve as interpreters at the free clinics.



慈濟雪隆分會與聯合國難民最高專員署，自2004年開始合作，為馬來西亞廣大的難民提供義診服務，其中在吉隆坡士拉央的難民義診，單在2011年就已經有超過千位難民得到幫助，為了感恩，難民志工勇於承擔翻譯員，來解決醫生和難民之間的語言問題，慈濟雪隆分會特為他們舉辦了一場小型的感恩會。







8.360竹編業(一)First, slice a bamboo into 200 slivers



Among Taiwan”s many sunset industries is bamboo weaving. The work requires a bamboo stalk to be sliced into a couple of hundred evenly sized slivers. While weaving, the artisan”s hands are bound to get cut. And as the profit margin is also very small, no wonder the industry is on its last legs. We meet two master bamboo weavers in Changhua County”s Lugang to hear their story.



手工竹編是台灣正在消失的產業之一，要做竹編，得先把竹子剖成兩百多條細細的竹絲，而在編織的過程中，雙手一定會被刮傷、割傷，更不要談極其微薄的利潤，也因此成為夕陽產業，接下來，我們來認識彰化鹿港的兩位竹編大師，聽聽他們的故事。







9.360竹編業(二)A miniature version of the original



Like in the report we just saw, in the old days, people used bamboo to weave many household items. One of them is a rice mill called ”tulong”, which was an important tool for rice farmers. Though the tulong has long been obsolete, a master craftsman in Taiwan”s Lugang still knows how to make them. He also produces a miniature version, which is fully operational.



就如剛剛的報導看到，早期的社會竹織品非常普遍，其中有一種叫做土礱的器具，對稻農來說非常重要，雖然如今土礱已經被淘汰，台灣的鹿港還有一位老師傅知道怎麼做，他做出來的縮小比例模型，還能夠真正操作。

Finally today, we join Tzu Chi volunteers, community residents, care receiving families and student aid recipients at the Philippines” Jing Si Hall, where they celebrated the end of the lunar year with gratitude. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.



節目最後，跟著慈濟志工、社區民眾、照顧戶，以及安心就學的學生，來到菲律賓靜思堂，眾人以感恩與祝福送走舊年。一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.01.16)
