1. 福鼎居家關懷

97 year old Mrs. Liu lives alone in a small shack right off Highway 314 that runs through Fuding City in China”s Fujian Province. Her house is close to falling apart. And due to her advanced age, Mrs. Liu has been unable to clean up the dirt that has been accumulating over the years. Learning of her condition, Tzu Chi volunteers arrived to give the house a solid makeover, bringing a priceless smile to Mrs. Liu”s face, that a volunteer captured on film.

在福建福鼎，九十七歲的劉老奶奶住在車水馬龍的314國道旁，她的家因為年久失修，加上老奶奶的年紀大，很久沒有打掃，慈濟志工在接獲通報後，決定要幫老奶奶整修屋子，最後更是和奶奶拍了一張全家福，相片中的奶奶，笑得開心。

2. 賴索托關懷

Turning to southern Africa, Tzu Chi volunteers in Lesotho recently visited several care recipients with food, daily essentials and love. The volunteers also reminded the recipients to keep a positive attitude regarding the future and be on the look out for chances to help others.

鏡頭轉到南部非洲，賴索托的慈濟志工將物資與愛送給照顧戶，也鼓勵他們努力向上，將來也能幫助別人。

Success is achieved by seizing the moment and accepting its challenges.

與時競爭，接受考驗，才會成功。

3. 百變禽流感(二)

The challenge of bird flu is keeping health authorities around the world on their toes. The virus is dangerous because it can quickly mix with other strains, and evolve by itself, to form new varieties, that are highly infectious and even deadly. Since 1997, when the H5N1 virus first broke out in Hong Kong, a total of 590 cases have been confirmed, of whom a very high percentage of 349 people died. Let”s find out more.

禽流感的挑戰，讓全球衛生當局非常忙碌，禽流感病毒危及，是因為能快速與其他種類混合，加上本身的病毒會重組成新的病毒種類，感染率高，甚至會死亡，1997年香港傳出全球首例H5N1禽傳人病例後，死亡人數多達590名，其中349人死亡，一起來看看。

4. 花慈巴金森發表

Staying on the topic of healthcare in Taiwan, treatment of Parkinson”s disease on the island is usually based on findings from abroad. However, Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital set up a research team 10 years ago, to explore the possibility of treating the disease with deep brain stimulation. To date, nearly 150 patients have been treated.

也是台灣相關醫療的報導，國內巴金森氏症的研究長期引用國外數據，而在花蓮，慈濟醫院10年前創立的研究團隊，已經累積將近150例的植入晶片療法。

5. 尊重生命劉子瑄

Every 40 seconds, someone in the world takes their own life. But are things ever really so bad, that you have to resort to suicide? In our next story, we introduce you to Liu Zixuan(劉子瑄), who is a Tzu Chi volunteer in Taipei, Taiwan. She has had a hard life, and contemplated ending it all on several occasions. When she was 17, she lost a leg in a road accident. Then at 33, she broke up with her husband, after ten years of marriage, forcing her to bring up her two children alone. Still, Zixuan persevered. And now at 51, she wants the world to know, that life is good.

世界上每40秒就有一個人選擇輕生，但是事情真的有糟到需要選擇自殺嗎？現在為您介紹台灣台北的一位慈濟志工，她過去生活艱辛，再加上一連串事件的打擊，劉子瑄17歲的時候因為車禍而失去了左腿，33歲的時候，10年的婚姻因為先生外遇而結束，子瑄成了單親媽媽，要養大兩個孩子，但這一連串打擊並沒有擊敗她，現在51歲了劉子瑄要大家知道，她過得很幸福。

On Purification of Heart

To purify our environment and reduce trash, we need to start from the purification of the human heart. A heart full of compassion and gratitude will keep things running smoothly. Tzu Chi volunteers must work in unity and harmony to keep the circle of love going.

主題：談淨化人心

開示：要消除有形的環境垃圾，要從無形的淨化人心做起；讓愛與感恩不斷循環，以使一切事務運作順暢，而慈濟團體人人必須合心，否則會中斷善的循環。

6. 360氣球工廠(一)

Balloons, in weird and wonderful shapes, are an indispensable part of childhood. In today”s feature on Taiwan”s traditional industries, we investigate how the balloon business went flat, and how one factory in Taichung has survived, despite the threat of the bubble bursting. The company had the foresight to build a museum, to educate the public about the local balloon industry, and bring in some extra income.

五彩繽紛的氣球，是每個人的童年回憶，今天台灣真情臉譜中，來了解氣球產業為何落寞。台灣目前僅存一家橡膠氣球工廠位在台中縣，這間工廠成立了博物館，教育大眾台灣的氣球史，也帶來其他的商機。

7. 360氣球工廠(二)

Continuing from the last story, the latex balloon factory, owned by You Shanbo(游善伯), and his daughter, is the sole surviving business of its kind, in Taiwan. One of the secrets to the company”s success, is the business culture. Employees are treated like family, and most of the staff have served the company for more than 20 years. You Shanbo is happy that his daughter returned to the company to make sure that this family business will continue, for as long balloons are needed in Taiwan.

延續上一則報導，台灣僅存的橡膠氣球工廠，現在由第三代傳人游善伯以及女兒一起經營，事業有成，秘訣就是企業文化，對員工的疼愛如同家人，現在工廠裡大多是待了二三十年的老員工，游善伯也很欣慰女兒回來一起經營工廠，為台灣的氣球產業努力。
