Yang Xiaodong(楊曉東) is a Tzu Chi care recipient in China`s Xiamen(廈門). Due to contracting polio, Xiaodong curled himself up, hid in his room and shut the world out. Eventually, he could no longer extend or flex his lower body. To help, volunteers arranged for Xiaodong, to undergo joint reconstruction and replacement surgery, at the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital in Taiwan. We now update you on Xiaodong`s condition.

來自中國廈門的楊曉東，是慈濟的照顧戶，因為小兒麻痺的關係，曉東把自己捲縮起來，躲在家裡與外界隔離，也因此，他的身軀最後無法正常伸展，於是，志工安排曉東，來到台灣花蓮的慈濟醫院，進行兩側人工髖關節置換術，現在帶您來了解曉東的情況。

In our continuing report on electricity, we take you to meet the unsung heroes, who make sure you have electricity when and where you need it. These are the maintenance staff of the electric towers and poles found in almost every corner of Taiwan. In a job that requires one to climb three stories in the air, sometimes under the worst of conditions, it is not a job for the faint hearted as our Da Ai reporter quickly finds out.

繼續我們電力知多少的專題，我們一起來認識一群，確保我們隨時有電可用的無名英雄，他們是台電的線路維護員，維護到處可見的，高壓電塔與電線桿，他們隨時要爬上三層樓的高度，並在颳風下雨的狀態下工作，沒有膽量可能無法勝任，一起跟大愛記者來挑戰。
