1.邁阿密新春 & 渥太華歲末 Celebrations of the Lunar New Year

We kick off today`s program in North America; in Ottawa, Canada, a sign language performance marked the opening of a year-end celebration held by Tzu Chi volunteers, and many organizations came forth to give their thanks, for all the hard work volunteers have done in the past. But first, let`s head over to Miami of Florida, in the United States, where Tzu Chi volunteers participated in a Lunar New Year celebration. As part of the activities, volunteers set up a recycling booth to promote environmentalism, and also displayed DA.AI Technology products.

節目一開始來到加拿大的渥太華，慈濟志工辦新年活動，開場正是經藏演繹 ，許多團體代表都到場送上祝福，首先我們來到美國佛州的邁阿密，當地志工參與新年慶祝活動，志工設立環保區 推動環保並且展示大愛感恩科技產品。


2. 馬無量義經(六) Sutra musical returns to Penang

Since 2009, volunteers in Malaysia have been touring the country with their sign language musical of the Sutra of Innumerable Meanings. On February 16th, the performance will return to Penang where it all first started. To ensure that as many people as possible can enjoy and perhaps be inspired by the performance, in the week prior, volunteers went door to door to restaurants and households, to let the public know of this wonderful show.

2009年開始，馬來西亞慈濟志工在當地，巡迴演出清淨大愛無量義，2月16日再度回到首場公演的檳城，為了讓更多人參與，在公演的前一週，志工挨家挨戶解說，有的拜訪素食店，讓民眾知道這場公演。


3. 古宅˙轉生術(5)青田街 A combination of East and West

In our series of reports on historical sites around Taiwan, each of the historical sites we have visited holds the stories of its era. Today, we take you to Taipei City`s Qingtian(青田) Street, which once held many dormitories built by a group of Japanese professors from Tai-ho-ku Imperial University, during the Japanese colonial period. After Japan was defeated in World War Two, the grounds and buildings of Tai-ho-ku Imperial University were taken over by National Taiwan University, and one of the dorms became the residence of Ma Tingying(馬廷英), a geology professor at NTU. Professor Ma was well-known for his research on “continental drift”, with many of his findings pre-dating European and American scholars by about 15 years. Today, the former Ma residence is owned by the National Taiwan University, but graduates of the university`s geology department have rented the land and are in charge of its operations and restoration.

古宅轉生術系列報導，每一棟老建築都有自己的時代與故事，今天我們鏡頭來到，台北青田街原本這裡有一片，日據時代，日本帝國大學教授興建的宿舍，日本在二戰戰敗後，帝大與它擁有的地，由台大接手而這棟宅邸也成為台大地質系，馬廷英教授的宿舍，馬廷英教授比歐美學界早十五年，提出大陸漂移學說，如今這棟建築物的產權為台大所有，台大地質系畢業校友承租下來，營運也負責維護。


4. 馬腎友行孝 Dialysis patient shows filial piety

Back to Malaysia, we meet a filial son, Huang Jiapeng(黃嘉朋), who has managed to celebrate each of his mother`s birthday with her, over the past 4 decades, including the recent 91st birthday celebration. As his mother used to be the breadwinner at home, Huang wanted to reciprocate her love, by carrying out his filial duties whenever and wherever needed.

回到馬來西亞有一位孝子，黃嘉朋，四十年來都為母親慶生，包括這次91歲大壽，當年母親獨立撐起家中經濟，為了回報她的養育之恩，黃嘉朋不論何時何地都會妥善照顧他的母親。


5. 馬教育姊妹 Doing household chores

Teaching children the right values and belief must start at a young age, we stay in Malaysia`s Penang for our next story, and meet the Xie(謝) sisters, who both graduated from the Penang Tzu Chi Kindergarten. 10-year-old Xie Kaien(謝愷恩) and 7-year-old Xie Jiaen(謝家恩), not only help with household chores, but have acquired good habits over the years from studying in Tzu Chi.

教育孩子正確的觀念就應該從小開始，今天我們來到馬來西亞檳城，來認識，謝氏姐妹，她們都是慈濟幼兒園的畢業生，10歲的愷恩和7歲的家恩兩人，不但幫忙做家務還培養出良好習慣。


6. 360養蜂(一) Locally grown honey

According to estimates, 70 percent of honey products in Taiwan are fake honey made up of fruc-tose and chemical additives, 20 percent are imported and the remaining 10 percent is locally produced. Despite the good quality of home-grown honey, due to its high price when compared to imported honey, the number of beekeepers in Taiwan continues to decline. In our next report, we meet a couple in Nantou, Li Liyu(李麗玉) and Li Fuliang(李福涼), who is committed to beekeeping 365 days a year, to produce locally grown honey.

根據調查 ，台灣坊間的蜂蜜產品有百分之七十是色素和香料合成的假蜂蜜，百分之二十是進口蜂蜜只有百分之十是本土蜂蜜，雖然品質好成本卻高於，進口蜂蜜三成到五成，使得本土蜂蜜產業 逐漸沒落，今天接下來的報導，我們來認識在南投一對夫妻，一年三百六十五天，投入養蜂的行業，堅持生產本土的蜂蜜。


7. 貴州廟會 Performance by the Miao people

Moving to China`s Guizhou(貴州), Taiwan`s Ministry of Culture and the China Friendship Foundation For Peace and Development, recently joined hands to hold a cross-cultural temple fair. Through the Guizhou(貴州) style performances, visitors gained a better understanding of the area`s culture. Let`s take a look.

來到中國貴州省，最近，台灣文化部文化資產局和中國友好和平發展基金會聯手舉辦，兩岸春節民俗廟會活動特別以貴州風情為主題，透過表演民眾對兩岸的文化也有更深的了解，讓我們來看看。

We go to the Philippines at the end of our show; at a large-scale New Year event in Manila, Tzu Chi has been invited to promote recycling to participants. Some 300 local volunteers took to the streets, to pick up garbage and keep the environment clean, while recycling stalls were set up to introduce environmental concepts. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.
