In this Year of the Dog, on behalf of the Executive Committee (EXCO), I wish our Chung Wah members and families as well as all our friends and supporters of Chung Wah Association Happy Chinese New Year. For the past twelve months, with the active involvement and participation of our members and the hard work of our EXCO members and office staff, Chung Wah Association has achieved another milestone in community development. The strong sense of care and responsibility underpins the excellent community care services of Chung Wah Community & Aged Care (CAC), which are delivered to more than 700 elderly clients in the community. CAC has gained remarkable appreciation and recognition from the seniors, the community and government departments. The three Chung Wah schools work hand in hand to grow the Chinese education of the Association, providing a platform for thousands of students learning the Chinese language and culture with increasingly strengthening teaching resources. Chinese school is a significant carrier for inheriting the cultural heritage and consolidating the community spirit. We are proud for being able to continue developing this sector for our second generation in a culturally-diversified environment.

in Northbridge. A number of Chinese community groups are actively involved and contributing to this large-scale event, which will present a series of exciting game shows, performances of traditional dance, music and dragons, etc in this one day. Thanks to the support of the City of Perth, the Office of Multicultural Interests and LotteryWest. In addition to the Chinese New Year program, Chung Wah Association is also co-hosting a cultural musical show, “Cultures of China, Festival of Springs” from China at the Perth Concert Hall on 5 March, 2018. We look forward to your participation and involvement in all these Chinese New Year events. Chung Wah Association is the oldest ethnic organisation in Perth. It is the home to all Chinese in Western Australia. We will continue to build and develop the Association to a new level in 2018, while adhering to the Constitution and retaining the heritage of the Association. I hope you will all join me in the coming year to further develop this entity that we all call home. I wish you all good health, happiness and prosperity.

Our various subcommittees have been actively organising activities for their group members. The subcommittees include Women subcommittee, Dragon and Lion Dance Troupe, Cultural Dance Troupe, Dragon Boat team, Chinese Orchestra, Cantonese Opera and Beijing Opera. These and other Chung Wah activities, such as Social Dancing, Line Dancing and Senior Language Classes, have attracted good responses in terms of participation and positive feedbacks. In addition, Chung Wah has worked together with other associations and community groups, and jointly organised a number of significant cultural shows, contests and seminars, making a great contribution to the cultural atmosphere of the Chinese community. Furthermore, we have endeavoured to develop and improve a few internal infrastructure projects in the last twelve months. These projects are the Heritage Protection Program, upgrading of the Chung Wah Cultural Centre in Balcatta, as well as the new concept plan of Chung Wah Autumn Centre that is under development. Last but not least, the event highlight of the year, the annual Perth Chinese New Year Fair will be held on 18 February 2018 on James Street and Lake Street

新春贺辞 NEW YEAR GREETINGS

Chinese New Year Message from Consul General of People's Republic of China in Perth

Chinese New Year Message from the Premier of WA 西澳大利亚州州长新年贺词 I would like to wish the Western Australian Chinese community and Chung Wah Association members a happy and successful Chinese New Year. 2017 was a busy and exciting year and I am looking forward to seeing what 2018, the Year of the Dog, brings to Western Australia. I always enjoy taking part in Chinese New Year celebrations with Western Australia’s Chinese community. The community is always very welcoming and it is both an honour and a joy for Western Australians from all cultural backgrounds to be invited to share in these traditions. Last November, I visited Western Australia’s sister state the Zhejiang Province, China. It was my fourth visit to China and first visit as Premier and, while there, I was delighted to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of our sister state relationship. Chinese Australians have contributed greatly to Western Australia and I look forward to celebrating the Chinese New Year together. I hope the Year of the Dog brings you much peace, prosperity and joy. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

中华人民共和国驻珀斯总领事新春贺辞

我谨此祝愿西澳华人社区和中华会馆全体会员春节快乐、幸福成功。

金鸡辞旧岁，神犬报春来。值此 2018年中国农历春节来临之际，我谨代表中国驻珀斯总领馆向西澳广大华侨华人、中资机构人员和留学生朋友们致以节日的问候，祝福大家新春快乐、阖家幸福、吉祥如意！

2017忙碌、振奋人心的一年过去了，我期待着2018戊戌狗年会给西澳带来怎样的一年。一直以来，我都热衷于参与西澳华人社区的春节活动，这社区总是特别友善热情。来自不同文化背景的西澳人民受邀共庆此传统节日，是一份荣耀和喜悦。去年11月，我访问了西澳州的姐妹省中国浙江省。这是我第四次到访中国，也是我首次以州长身份出访。期间，我非常雀跃与我们的姐妹省共庆建交三十周年。澳大利亚的华人对促进西澳的发展贡献良多，我期待着与大家一起庆祝农历新年。我祝愿大家在戊戌狗年幸福安宁、繁荣兴旺、新春快乐。恭喜发财！

Consul General of the People's Repubilc of China in Perth 中华人民共和国驻珀斯总领事

长期以来，广大华侨华人、中资机构人员和留学生在西澳这片热土上辛勤耕耘、开拓进取，与西澳民众和谐相处，为当地经济社会发展和多元文化建设做出了重要贡献，同时也为推进中澳友好事业发展以及中国与西澳州各领域交流合作发挥了重要的桥梁和纽带作用。借此机会，我谨向西澳广大侨胞朋友和所有关心、支持中澳友好事业发展的西澳各界人士致以衷心感谢和崇高敬意新的一年，中国驻珀斯总领馆将一如既往地践行“外交为民”宗旨，为大家做好服务。

As the golden rooster departs with the old year, the spirited dog comes to announce the start of a new year. As the 2018 Chinese New Year approaches, on behalf of the Chinese Consulate in Perth, I would like to send our festive greetings to the WA Chinese community, employees of Chinese-owned businesses and Chinese international students. We wish you all a very Happy New Year, and peace and prosperity for your whole family. For a long time, the WA Chinese community, employees of Chinese-owned businesses and Chinese international students have been working hard on this hot land that is Western Australia; living harmoniously with the broader West Australian community and making important contributions to the local economy, society and multicultural developments. At the same time, they have acted as an important bridge in furthering friendly ties between China and Australia, as well as in exchanges in all areas between China and Western Australia. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank and acknowledge friends from the Western Australia Chinese community, and all who care about and support further development of friendly ties between China and Australia. In the new year, the Chinese Consulate in Perth will continue to follow our principle of “diplomacy for the people” to serve all our stakeholders.

Chinese New Year Message from WA Minister For Citizenship And Multicultural Interests 西澳公民与多元文化部部长新年贺词

Chinese New Year Message from The Leader of the Opposition 反对党领袖新年贺词 Happy new year to the Chung Wah Association and your supporters.

祝愿中华会馆及其支持者，新春愉快。

我谨此恭祝中华会馆全体会员和西澳州的华裔人士，恭喜发财。

The Lunar New Year is the highlight of the Chinese calendar and an important day for the Chinese community in Western Australia to gather and celebrate their heritage.

农历新年，是每年中国年历的亮点，也是西澳华人社区同欢共庆历史文化的重大日子。

过去超过一百五十年以来，西澳华人社区给这个州省带来了极大的贡献，而且积极加强整个多元文化社会。

Equally, it is a wonderful time for families to wish each other peace and prosperity for the year ahead. I know the day is not only important for the Chinese community, but for Western Australians of all backgrounds to celebrate the benefits of our cultural diversity. The Chinese community, and every community in our State form a significant part of who we are. The year of the Dog is traditionally associated with personality traits of loyally, honesty, a kind and prudent disposition, and I am told sometimes stubbornness and difficulty with communication. A dog is man’s best friend, can understand their owner’s disposition and are loyal like no other animal. In his old age, my dog Mango can add sleeping to that list. I hope you enjoy your celebrations and I wish all Western Australians great fortune and happiness in the months ahead. Happy Chinese New Year, the year of the dog.

家家户户趁着这个佳节，互相祝贺大家新的一年平安健康，家业兴旺。据我所知，这个节日不仅是华人社区的重要节庆，不同文化背景的西澳人民也同庆其多元文化的意义。华人社区以及西澳州的各族群拼凑了一个不一样的我们。戊戌狗年，一般让人所联想到的人格特征，包括忠诚、善良和谨慎，听说还有固执和不擅沟通。狗是人类最忠实的朋友，他们能理解主人的个性，被认为是最通人性和忠心的动物。我家的狗“芒果”，到了老年还特别能睡。我谨此祝愿您佳节愉快，以及所有的西澳人民新的一年，万事顺利，阖家幸福。戊戌狗年，新年快乐。

麦高文领导下的西澳州政府非常重视华人农历新年的盛举，我们都期盼着参与这个佳节里的社区活动。 Hon Dr Mike Nahan MLA

It is my pleasure to wish Gong Xi Fa Cai to all members of the Chung Wah Association and all Western Australians of Chinese heritage. Western Australia's Chinese communities have contributed substantially to this State for more than 150 years, and are active in advancing our vibrant multicultural society.

作为一个州省，我们有着丰富多彩的文化遗产，让全民同欢共享。我们的历史中有不少具华人血统人物的成功故事。

The McGowan Government recognises the importance of the Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations and we all look forward to participating in community festivities that mark the occasion.

趁着戊戌狗年来临之际，是时候让我们高度赞扬华人社区那份强而有力的责任心，巩固了中华会馆的多项活动和社区服务。同时，这社区对商业的敏锐度也带动了西澳州的经济发展。

As a State we have a rich and diverse heritage that is increasingly enjoyed and celebrated by everyone. Our history is full of stories of the achievements of people who proudly claim a Chinese heritage.

我祝愿西澳中华会馆全体会员和员工，以及学校和分会，戊戌狗年快乐安康，繁荣兴旺。期待2018，大家合作愉快。

In this Year of the Dog, it is an appropriate time to salute the strong sense of responsibility that underpins the Chung Wah Association's many activities and community services. It is also an appropriate occasion to acknowledge the community's business acumen that has contributed to our State's economic success. I wish members and staff of the Chung Wah Association and all its schools and branches, good health, happiness and prosperity for the New Year of the Dog. I look forward to working with you all in 2018.

Chinese New Year Message from the Deputy Lord Mayor 珀斯市副市长新年贺词 On behalf of the City of Perth, it is my pleasure to wish the people of Perth and all who are celebrating the Chinese New Year, “Xin Nian Kuai Le” and “Gong Xi Fa Cai”. I am advised that 2018, or the Year of the Earth Dog, represents progress, persistence, honour and integrity; behaviours that are greatly valued in our society and which should be encouraged within our younger generations. It is a great time to gather and celebrate with family and friends, reflect on the past year and look forward to the year ahead. Once again, the City of Perth is a proud sponsor of the Chinese New Year Fair, and I hope that you have the opportunity to participate in the associated festivities that the Chung Wah Association has planned for this year’s event. The growth of the event, and the way that Chinese New Year celebrations are increasingly being enjoyed from people from non-Chinese backgrounds, shows the positives and strength of our multicultural society, which benefits from diversity and shared cultural traditions.

我谨在此代表珀斯市市政府，恭祝珀斯市的人民以及所有庆祝农历新年的人士，新年快乐、恭喜发财。据说2018戊戌狗年，象征着上进、坚持、尊重和正直。这都是我们的社会加以推崇的品德，也是我们应该多鼓励年轻一代培养的行为。值此佳节与家人朋友共聚欢庆的同时，回顾去年和展望新的一年。今年，珀斯市政府感到骄傲再次赞助珀斯中华新年文化节，我希望你可以争取机会参与中华会馆这一年的系列佳节欢庆活动。

Dr Jemma Green

Deputy Lord Mayor，City of Perth 珀斯市副市长

中华新年文化节的扩展，以及农历新年欢庆活动日益受非华裔人士的欢迎，这相互接受文化上的同与不同，显示了我们多元文化社区得到正面和积极的发展。在此，祝愿各界人士和朋友2018 年幸福安康、繁荣兴旺。

I wish you all a safe, happy and prosperous 2018.

会馆动态 CHUNG WAH EVENTS 2017年四月份，中华会馆捐赠了长达五十米的布制巨龙给西澳博物馆。这条全澳第二长的巨龙，是在1999年由中国驻珀斯总领事赠送给西澳的华人社区。那一年是中华人民共和国建国五十周年。由拆卸到运送这条巨龙从Balcatta的中华文化中心到位于Fremantle的纺织品维护实验中心，这个任务相当艰巨。此行动动用了博物馆的十三位专家共同策划和协调，花了两天的时间才顺利把这巨龙拆除，放到支架来运送。经过了深层的维护修复后，巨龙在实验中心内重装后，将存放一段长时间。如此庞大的文物是给接受培训的保修师一个非常好的实践机会，其中有十五位专攻纺织品维护保修的大学生参与其中。这项修复工作首先去除表层上积存了十六年之久的尘埃，这个步骤完成后，巨龙身上的

颜色有焕然一新的效果。下一个步骤，就是将龙头还形，把龙头脱落的传统贴纸重新粘好。这两步骤重复用于龙身的须线、银丝线、亮片。工作人员都小心翼翼地处理，不加任何附加品，设法把巨龙还原成最初的面貌。最后一个步骤，就是得处理已损毁的龙身布料。目前，巨龙的维护修复工作已经完成，龙身将会在包裹后置放在一个特别设计的三米长的筒里，以防在收藏的过程中出现皱痕。此巨龙非同凡响，其将会被好好收藏在西澳博物馆，留给下一代。

n April 2017, the Chung Wah Association (CWA) donated the 50m Dancing Dragon to the Western Australian Museum (WAM). It is the second longest in the country, and was gifted in 1999 by the Perth-based Chinese Consul General of the People’s Republic of China to Western Australia’s Chinese community, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Its de-installation and transportation from the Chung Wah Cultural Centre in Balcatta to the WAM Textile Conservation Laboratory in Fremantle was a challenging task, taking a team of 13 museum specialists to plan and orchestrate its safe removal and transportation, and taking two days to carefully remove and dismantle the Dragon, and install it on stillage and supports for travel. It was then installed in the Textile Conservation Laboratory, where it has been treated and repaired for long term storage. Such a large scale object has been ideal for providing training and experience to preprogram student conservators, and has resulted in 15 university students being trained in textile conservation.

The treatment commenced with removing sixteen years of surface dirt accumulated from its display in the Balcatta Chung Wah Cultural Centre. This initial step alone dramatically changed the colour and vastly improved the appearance of the Dragon. The next step was to re-shape and re-adhere the traditional paper patterns found along the Dragon Head that had become distorted and displaced over the years. These same steps were repeated for the strips of mohair, metallic threads and sequins. Great care was taken to improve its condition to more closely resemble how it originally appeared, without adding any non-original material. The final step in treating the Chung Wah Dragon was repairing torn areas of fabric found along the body. Now that the conservation treatment is complete, the Dragon body will soon be carefully wrapped around a specially designed 3m long barrel, to prevent creases forming during storage. The Chung Wah Dragon was an incredible object to work on and will now be carefully stored in the Western Australian Museum collection storage facility for future generations.

狗年大吉 HAPPY NEW YEAR

The Good Customs of Chinese New Year

农历新年的好习俗文／译◎ Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

First Day of Chinese New Year

On the first day of Chinese New Year, the entire family wakes up early, puts on new clothes, washes up and puts on makeup, prepares New Year dishes, enjoys Nian Gao and extend New Year greetings to one another. This sets the stage for a day of joyous celebrations. 大年初一，全家一早起床，穿新衣，梳洗打扮，煮年菜，吃年糕，拜早年，说吉利话，拉开了千家万户普天同庆过年的帷幕。

Second Day of Chinese New Year “Returning to mother’s house” is a traditional custom commonly practiced during the second day of Chinese New Year. On this day, married females will pay a New Year visit to her parent’s home with their husband and children. 农历年初二有“回娘家”的习俗，即出嫁的女儿这一天要带着女婿和儿女回娘家拜年。

Third Day of Chinese New Year This day is known as “Day of the Red Dog”. According to ancient folklore, the Red Dog is the god of fury. Whoever that meets the Red Dog will encounter bad luck, and that is why people stay at home on this day, refrain from visiting others and present offering to the deities and ask for their blessings. 这一天被称为“赤狗日”，赤狗是古代传说的“怒之神”。如果遇到了赤狗会倒霉，因此这一天不宜出门、请客，要在这天祭祖祀神，祈求保佑。

Seventh Day of Chinese New Year The seventh day of Chinese New Year is known as “Man’s birthday”. According to legend, the goddess Nuwa created the rooster, dog, pig, goat, cow and horse in sequence, and created humans on the seventh day. This is why “Man’s birthday” is celebrated on this day. In Singapore and Malaysia, tossing yusheng (raw fish) has become a popular practice during Chinese New Year. Colourful strands of vegetables and fruits are tossed and eaten

together with yusheng as an appetizer. This dish signifies good fortune. This dish can easily found in Chinese restaurant in Perth during Chinese New Year period. 正月初七是“人日”，所谓人日，传说女娲创造苍生，顺序造出了鸡狗猪羊牛马等动物，并于第七天造出人来，故此初七为人的生日。在新加坡、马来西亚，华人盛行在初七“ 捞生”，五颜六色蔬果拔成细丝，和鱼生一起捞匀来吃，是一道开胃菜，带有吉祥意味，是祈求来年好运和发财的菜式。春节期间，这道菜也相当容易可以在中餐馆食用。

Ninth Day of Chinese New Year On the ninth day of the first month of Lunar calendar, it would be the special celebration known to Chinese Hokkien people as the “Phai Thien Kong” which literally means “praying to the Heaven God”. This day is especially important to Hokkiens because they believe it is the birthday of the Jade Emperor (Thien Kong) who protected the ancestors of Hokkien people from ruthless army in ancient China. All the Hokkiens start their prayers at 11pm on the eighth day of Chinese New Year. On this night, the Hokkiens set up a table full of Hokkien delicacies for serving the Jade Emperor. The Hokkiens made piles of folded pieces of gold paper, these papers are hung from the sugarcanes before being burnt as a thanksgiving offering to the Thien Kong. There will be fireworks and firecrackers that mark the beginning of the ninth day as well as the survival of the Hokkien people. 农历大年初九，是福建人拜天公、大过年的日子，年初八晚上十一点就准备好拜天公仪式，供品包括福建小吃红龟粿、素果和五牲荤食等、还有用拜神金纸挂在甘蔗，敬拜天公。此外还会燃烧金纸鹤燃放烟花、鞭炮以示庆祝。祭拜仪式过后，大家吃一顿丰富的年餐，以示团圆、吉祥。传说明朝时一年的农历新年，福建沿海一带的乡民遭到迫害，乡民扶老携幼逃命。乡民在黑夜中逃到一处偏僻郊野时，突然前面出现一大片蔗林助他们逃过一劫。这天正是大年初九，逃出生天的乡民都认为这是天公救命，于是每年的大年初九凌晨便祭拜天公，以谢救命之恩。

Fifteenth day of Chinese New Year The fifteen day of the lunar month marks the end of Chinese New Year, and is widely known as Yuan Xiao. According to Chinese cultural traditions, people need to hang up colourful lanterns on the night of this day against the full moon as a form of celebration. The entire family will gather to admire the full moon, light up lanterns, solve lantern riddles and enjoy a sumptuous meal together. “Solving Lantern riddles” is an activity that people have long engaged in during Yuan Xiao. The riddles are written on pieces of paper and pasted on colourful lanterns for others to solve. 农历正月十五是春节的最后一天，也被称为元宵节。按中国民间的传说，在这天皓月高悬的夜晚，人们要点起彩灯万盏，以示庆贺。出门赏月、燃灯放焰、喜猜灯谜、共吃元宵、合家团聚、同庆佳节，其乐融融。 “猜灯谜”是元宵节后增的一项活动，把谜语写在纸条上，贴在五光十色的彩灯上供人猜。

What Chinese New Year is about?

农历新年的由来？

According to tales and legends, the beginning of Chinese New Year started with the fight against a mythical beast called the “Year”. The “Year” looks like an ox with a lion head and inhabits in the sea. At the night of New Year’s Eve, the “Year” will come out to harm people, animals and properties. Later, people found out that the “Year” fears the red colour, fire and loud noises. Therefore, for self-protection, people formed the habit of posting red “Dui Lian” in front of their houses as well as launching fireworks and hanging lanterns at year end.

农历新年，这个传统节日的由来有个民间传说。太古时期，有一种凶猛的怪兽，人们把它们叫“年”。它的身体长得像公牛，但却有个狮子的头，住在海里。每到除夕晚， “年”就会出来攻击村民，看见什么食物就吃。久而久之，村民发现凶猛的“年”最怕三样东西。那就是，猛红的颜色，火，吵闹声。为了自卫，人们到了年末就开始在门前挂上红色对联、燃起鞭炮和挂红色灯笼。资料来源Resource: chinesenewyears.info/chinese-new-year-history.php

Australian Lunar coin series for Year of the DOG 珀斯铸币厂戊戌狗年纪念币文／译◎ Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

The Chinese animal zodiac, or shēng xiào, is a repeating cycle of twelve years, with each year being represented by an animal and its reputed attributes. 2018 is the Year of the Dog, dog is the 11th Chinese zodiac sign. Ever since Perth Mint launched the Australian Lunar coin series back in 1996, it has been a tradition for the company to wish customers and friends Gong Xi Fa Cai. According to Neil Vance, the Mint’s Group Manager – Minted Products, there are several key reasons for the popularity of Lunar coins. “There’s a natural fascination with something as unique as the Chinese lunar calendar which dates back for thousands of years,” he said. “It’s based on a 12-year cycle of the moon with each year named after a different animal. Having 12 coins to collect is a very realistic objective for many collectors who enjoy building a complete collection over time.” This year, an image of a German shepherd featuring a beautiful blue sapphire in its right eye is the new Gemstone Edition from the 2018 Australian Lunar Series to celebrate the Year of the Dog.

Sapphires have mystical associations with truth, sincerity and faithfulness – the latter a strong trait of German shepherds which are well known for their loyalty and obedience. It’s also been claimed sapphires have strong healing powers, especially for sore eyes!

狗年大吉 HAPPY NEW YEAR

2018戊戌狗年 Year of the Dog 十二属相运势 Chinese Zodiac Forecast 2018年的幸运排行前五名运势如下：

The Five Most Auspicious Zodiac Signs for 2018:

1st Place: Rabbit 第一名：生肖兔

3rd Place: Tiger 第三名：生肖虎

5th Place: Snake 第五名：生肖蛇

The luckiest winner in the year of the dog; some things will go really smoothly for you, there is also hope of breakthrough developments at work, and help will be at hand when you face problems. Those who are soldiering on alone abroad will be particularly lucky; your previous efforts will be recognised, and those who are able and competent may stand a chance at a promotion and pay rise.

It’s a comfortable and cruisy year; your sense of purpose drops and you lack motivation. You feel lazy to the bone, but fortunately a little bit of luck follows you. We recommend setting realistic goals for yourself and achieve things step by step.

Your luck is fairly flat, it’s difficult to move upwards. There’s no harm in staying away from controversy, at least that ensures peace and safety. You need to control your sense of purpose; don’t try to grasp what shouldn’t belong to you – that only makes things worse. All in all, act carefully this year; if you work hard, you will be rewarded.

出生年份 Birth Year: 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951, 1939

狗年的运势冠军，一些事情顺利，事业上有望突破，遇到难题也有贵人出手相助。此运更利于在外孤独打拼之人，过去的努力能有收获，有实力者升职加薪可期。

出生年份 Birth Year: 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950, 1938

一个闲适安逸的年份，企图心下降，行动力不足，骨子里都透出慵懒的情绪来，可喜的是总有小幸运跟随着你。建议给自己先定个可以实现的小目标，一步一步完成。

2nd Place: Horse 第二名：生肖马

4th Place: Rat 第四名：生肖鼠

As we progress into 2018, things will become easier and smoother for you. You can go ahead and actually do what you contemplated last year; you can either clear or get around any obstacles, help will automatically come along. Remember you should do things properly, and the more good deeds you do, the more blessing and luck that will bring.

Luck only favours those who are diligent; if you don’t work hard, what’s supposed to be yours might be taken by others who do work hard. Remember to finish what you meant to do today, don’t drag on till the next day. Your efforts will not be wasted. But before you do start, it’s important to set clear targets and select the right direction.

踏入2018年，正在进行的事情将会越来越顺利。去年想做的事可以放心去做，路上的障碍你可清除或者绕开，贵人也会主动来帮你。切记，行事必走正道，多行善事多积福德运势才能旺上加旺。

此运只眷顾勤奋努力之人，如果你不思进取，本该属于你的东西也许就被别人夺去了。谨记今日事今日毕，千万不要拖到第二天，总之你的努力不会白费。需要注意的是，努力之前先明确目标，选择正确方向。

出生年份 Birth Year: 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, 1954, 1942

出生年份 Birth Year: 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948, 1936

出生年份 Birth Year: 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941

运势曲线起伏不大，想上行显得十分艰难。不妨远离纷争，至少可保得安稳，不受外界风雨的打扰。需要好好控制自己的企图心，别强行抓住不属于自己的东西只会让事情越变越糟糕。总的来说，今年小心翼翼做人做事，努力也不会没有收获。

The Five Most Auspicious Zodiac Signs for 2018: 2018年运势不吉的排行属相如下： 1st Place: Dog 第一名：生肖狗

出生年份 Birth Year: 2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, 1946, 1934

For those born in the year of the dog, this year is not going to be a smooth one for you; you'll feel restless and it's easy to experience health problems.

生肖属狗之人本命年伏吟太岁，即本命年值太岁（坐太岁）。本命年值太岁，表示该年运程有阻滞，心绪不宁，健康容易出问题。

2nd Place: Ox 第二名：生肖牛

Two Chinese zodiac populations with mixed luck 综合运势的两个属相： Monkey生肖猴：

出生年份 Birth Year: 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956,1944

Monkeys have excellent work and money luck this year, and are likely to succeed from both your own intelligence and assistance from elders. Not so lucky in love though, you need to be more proactive to get a loving relationship. Pay attention to ensure you rest and recuperate, to avoid getting sick.

属猴人今年事业财运均属吉运，容易因为自身的才智和长辈的关照而获得成功，爱情运势欠佳，需要积极出动才能获得良缘，平时要注意休息保养身体，以免出现隐患；

Pig生肖猪:

出生年份 Birth Year: 2007, 1995, 1983, 1971,1959, 1947, 1935

Piggies will earn a sufficient salary, but no luck for windfalls. You need to work hard in the right fields to reap the rewards. Try not to get into conflict with either law enforcement authorities or powerful sections of the society, or you may risk physical injury. There is a lucky star improving your luck with the opposite sex; so if you are proactive at this opportune time, you may find love. 属猪人正财有余，偏财无望，需要自身于正途多加努力才能得到回报。今年遭遇岁杀，切忌与执法部门或者其他社会势力起冲突，否则易有血光之灾。在感情方面遭遇天喜桃花异性缘较好，可以趁此良机主动出击觅得良缘。

My take on the “Migration” experience 文◎袁树仁Shuren Yuan 译◎冯恺盈Helene Fung

“Migration” is a very controversial term. My viewpoint is: You can choose to live wherever you feel more comfortable and makes you happier. So it all depends on your own qualities and what environment you prefer. As for me – after I retired, I actually didn’t even have the thought or the motivation to migrate; but why did I come to Australia? The key is that my way of doing things is “going with the flow”. After China’s economic reform and opening-up policy, my children came over to study, and they ended up staying here. After several visits, my partner and I decided to follow our children’s suggestion to migrate to Perth. In 1996, I drummed up enough courage to apply directly with the Australian Embassy and the application was approved shortly thereafter. The migration experience has actually inspired a lot of ideas. Here I’m going to share some of my ideas on “personal health”. “Using your brain” is actually the best way for healthy living and it’s an important aspect. Because of migration, I was forced to “use my brain”. 1. Forcing myself to learn English faster to handle life in a western country

old, there’s wear-and-tear and rust, can you restore it? Humans are exactly the same; as we grow older, we shouldn’t be aspiring just for health and longevity – instead we should aspire for happiness. When you are happy and have the correct attitude, naturally you’ll live longer. Your body’s ability to heal can also be strengthened this way!

我对移民的体会 “移民”是一个甚具争议性的词。有人说：国内好好的，为什么要移民。也有人说：移民好，国外的环境好些。其实任何表态都是有立场的，就是站在自己的角度，代表个人的体会。我的观点：你觉得住在哪个地方舒适、快乐，就选择在那定居，取决于自身的条件和向往的环境。我！退休以后并没有移民的想法和动机。但是为什么又来到澳洲了呢？关键在于我的处事之道偏向“顺其自然”。改革开放以后子女为了升学来到了国外，就此留下定居了。孩子的妈妈多次往返澳洲，经过多次商讨我和老伴，最后决定采纳子女的建议移居到珀斯。1996年，我鼓起勇气直接向澳洲领事馆领表申请，很短的时间内就批下来了。移民的体会其实很多。这里我就说对“个人健康”的体会。 “动脑子”是养生最好的办法之一，而且是重要的一环。因为移民而逼迫自己“动脑子”

2. Forcing myself to learn to use a computer

1. 鞭策我自己加速学习英文来应对西方国家的生活

3. Forcing myself to find a hobby and ways to kill time

2. 学习用电脑来让自己的生活更加方便。

Living in Perth, other than getting together with my children, I didn’t have any friends or family. I’ve chosen to spend my time on “volunteering” and “photography”. “Volunteering” gives my daily life a regular routine, allows me to maintain contact with the society and ensures that I get enough exercise. Through “photography”, I’ve made friends, and through sharing photos, these friends have given me a lot of encouragement, which gives me joy and pride. I think life can be thought of as being like a tree or a machine. If a tree grows old and its shape is already formed, can you change it? If a machine is

3. 要找一个嗜好和消磨时间的办法来到这里，除了和子女可以团聚外，没有亲友，我选择了“做义工”和“玩照相机”。“做义工”促使我的日常生活有规律，与社会保持接触，每天保持足够的运动量。“玩照相机”让我结识了更多的朋友，通过分享照片，朋友们给了我很大的鼓励，激发了我喜悦的心情和自豪感。我觉得人生可以以一棵树或者一个机器来比喻。树老了成型了，你还能改变它吗？机器老了磨损了锈蚀了，你还能还原它吗？人也一样，年龄大了老了，不是直接追求健康长寿而是追求快乐。心态好，心情好自然延年益寿。因为这样增强了人们的自愈能力！

My Australia story 文◎Laddawan WONG 译◎Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

40 years ago, I would not have thought my life would ever end up in Australia. I was an exchange student through the American Field Service program, living in Michigan, USA from 1974-1975. So naturally my dream was to return to America and find a career and live my life there. Well, I finished my Bachelor of Arts at a prestigious uni in Bangkok and spent two years working for Kuwait Airlines, so I could save enough money to go to America to further my studies. I did return to America as planned completing my postgraduate education. I had a job right after graduation but plans got interrupted by my return to Singapore with my husband in 1987. My work visa was cancelled and I ended up living in Singapore, building a young family there. In 1989, my first son was born and later we soon found out he had a slight developmental delay which affected all facets of his life. That was the starting point for us to look around to find a nurturing environment for him to grow up in. When my son was six and a half years old, we had an opportunity to spend four years as an expatriate family in Bangkok. We have two other children in mainstream education. Our children went to a British international school that was very childfocused. Thus my “special” son enjoyed his early childhood there.

feels welcome with good friends, good education and a great community. He is now a long term member of the Youth Centre and Catchmusic where he regularly plays the drum for the jam session. He attends TAFE and works part-time and has just got his driver’s licence. From a struggling little boy in Singapore, he has now become a confident young man, engaging himself with school, work and the community. He always shares with me how grateful he is to become an Australian citizen. This is now home for him where he feels welcome and supported. Thanks to Australia for giving him an opportunity to grow and become a happy contributing member.

我在澳洲的日子四十年前，我从未预料到会在澳大利亚落地生根。我十二年级时，曾以美国外勤服务的交换生计划在美国Michigan省住了一年（1974-1975）。我人生的梦想顺理成章地就是要回到美国开展我的人生和事业。后来，我在泰国曼谷的名牌大学本科毕业后，在科威特航空公司工作两年，以储存足够的积蓄到美国深造。我最后确实在美国完成我的研究生课程，却由于丈夫在1987年选择回

到新加坡发展，我因此未能留在美国圆梦。最终，反而在新加坡开始组织自己的小家庭。 1989年长子出世，后被检测到他天生有轻微发育迟缓的问题，影响他一辈子的方方面面。从那时开始，作为父母我们设法给他寻找一个让他成长的培育环境。他六岁半那年，我们一家以外派驻员家庭身份旅居在曼谷四年。长子和两个完全正常的弟妹在当地的英国国际学校上学。我这特殊的儿子在这学校度过了快乐的童年。

永久会员，他经常会与其他会员一起打鼓、玩音乐。他也在读技术学院的课程，而且兼职工作，刚不久还考到驾照。相比多年前在新加坡的一个挣扎中的小男孩，现在的他已经是一个自信的年青人活跃于学校、工作和社区。他常常会与我分享能成为澳大利亚公民的那份感恩之心。这是一个让他觉得被接受和支持的家。感谢澳大利亚给予他一个机会成长并成为一个开心的社会贡献者。

2004年，我们决定带着三个孩子到澳大利亚上中学。选择珀斯的原因在于它离我们的出生国比较近。2007年我们一家登陆珀斯结束十年居无定所的日子。我记得给孩子适应新环境的第一年，对我们而言都相当苦不堪言。我们再也没有像外派家庭般有佣人、园丁和司机。加上五十岁才加入新移民行列，我们也各自想办法在这新的国度开始生活。我的长子到过两所有特殊教育部门的天主教学校。他适应的不错，也结识了不少新朋友。不久后，我让他参与中华社区与长者服务的义务工作，固定探访住在养老院的长者。而且在华人节日时，在活动弹奏钢琴和参与其他的活动。我这长子社交能力强，身边很多人都表扬他的善良和礼貌。珀斯已经是他一个温暖的家，这里有朋友、好的教育和友善的社区。现在，他是青年中心和CatchMusic机构的

Then in 2004, we decided to plan to go to Australia for all three kids’ high school education. We picked Perth because it is quite near to our home country. So for the first time, we came to Perth in 2007 after about ten years of living a nomad‘s life. I remember spending a year in preparing the kids for the new life here. We no longer had a maid, gardener and driver, which we used to have in our expat life. The first year was the most difficult for all of us to adjust. Being a new migrant at fifty years old was pretty hard as all of us had to find our way to integrate into a new country. My “special” son went to two different catholic schools where there was a special needs support unit. He learnt to adapt quite well in the new environment and made many friends along the way. Later I took him to participate in the volunteer program of Chung Wah Community and Aged Care where he paid regular visits to elders in nursing homes. He also played the piano for them and joined in activities during special Chinese festivals. My “special” son is very sociable and is wellliked by many people for his kindness and good manners. Perth has become his home where he

Volunteerism 志愿者之谈文／译◎ Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

Every dedicated volunteer is a precious resource for a not-for-profit organisation, like Chung Wah Association. The annual large-scale Perth Chinese New Year Fair involves a significant number of volunteers at every stage of the event, from planning to site decoration. Volunteers play a vital role in the sustainability of our community services. Thanks to all the long-standing and committed volunteers who have actively contributed to the services provided by the Chung Wah Community & Aged Care and Chung Wah Chinese Schools. As the Chinese New Year is around the corner, our editorial team has specially interviewed four active volunteers about their volunteering experience and how they celebrate Chinese New Year in Perth.

The main motivation for him to volunteer with the Leeming SMC was to lead the school to build the best possible cultural learning venue for his daughter and other students. He understands that it is impossible for him as an individual to influence his daughter in learning Chinese language in a western culture-dominated country.

Suardi Sumiati 林温祥

Originally from Medan, Indonesia Migrated to Perth in 1999 来自印尼棉兰 1999年移居珀斯

Suardi first knew of Chung Wah Association in 2012 when he was searching for a Chinese education provider for his pre-primary daughter. Through the recommendation of a friend, he enrolled his daughter with Chung Wah Leeming Chinese School. During the first year at the school, he was approached by the then Chairperson of the School Management Committee (SMC) to join as a volunteer Assistant Treasurer. With his dedication to the school, he was elected as the Chairman for the school for three consecutive years until 2016. He said that he learned a lot through the volunteering path. It has personally enriched his life in many ways and built a stronger character within him.

He has always wanted to improve the school environment and contribute “add-on value” as much as possible during his tenure. Some of the highlights during his chairmanship were: enabling the school’s financial reports to be made transparent; additional storage space provided by the leased school management; a new website for Chung Wah Leeming School was developed; and introducing the use of bulk text messaging (SMS) as an immediate communication tool with parents. In addition, for the last three years, he has taken a leading role in one of the most successful cultural events of Chung Wah Chinese school, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival event. In Suardi’s view, volunteering has not been part of the Asian-culture. It is not something which can be imposed on someone, but comes from within oneself. He believes that raising the awareness of volunteerism within our Chinese community is a continuous and never-ending effort.

会中，提及自己做志愿者的体验，常常惹来大家的羡慕。

How do our volunteers celebrate Chinese New Year?

这四位志愿者如何庆祝农历新年？ Beata

Beata has celebrated Chinese New Year in Perth for the last twenty-five years. In recent years, there has been a significant growth in the Chinese population and the number of Chinese-related societies, groups and associations, which have their own Chinese New Year dinners and events. The best thing about celebrating Chinese New Year in Perth is that you get to celebrate this occasion based on your personal preferences. For hospitable people, you may invite lots of friends to have a tea party at home or participate in numerous Chinese New Year events. For people who are more introverted, you may choose to have a simple reunion meal with immediate family.

华人人口大幅度增长，各个同乡会举办的春节联欢宴会也多不胜数。在珀斯过农历新年的好处就是可以依个人喜好来度过。喜欢热闹的朋友可以趁春节呼朋唤友品茗，参加各华人社团办的春节活动。比较低调的朋友可以只和家人一家团圆共聚吃年饭。

人的成长帮助很大，使他内心变得更强大。

白单凭自己个人的能力，是很难让孩子在一个西方文化为主流的国家学习中文。他一直尽可能在他的任期期间，不断地改善学校的环境和提高学校的附加价值。在三年的任期中，学校的财政报告更透明化，学校储藏空间增加了，中华黎明中文学校的网站建成了，并且推介使用了群发短信功能与家长保持紧密联系。此外，在过去三年中文学校的最大型文化活动---中秋晚会，林温祥扮演了重要角色促使这活动的成功。

农历新年期间，香港的交通是非常繁忙的，人山人海处处可见。唯独香港农历新年逛花市的文化最令Beata怀念。

Yien

For the past twenty-four years, Yien has been celebrating Chinese New Year in Perth with her husband and their extended families. As her husband has eight siblings, the lively family atmosphere during Chinese New Year celebrations in Perth is very similar to what she experienced in Malaysia. In recent years, there is an increasing number of community events held in Perth during the Chinese New Year period. Yien indicated that she can now see lion dance performances in many shopping centres and Chinese restaurants. These days, she can easily buy festive items at any oriental shop, such as Chinese New Year cake which is made from glutinous rice flour. Basically, celebrating Chinese New Year in Perth is no different than in her home country except that it has not been classified as a public holiday. 提及农历新年，过去二十四年来都在珀斯过春节。由于丈夫有八兄弟姐妹都在同一个城市，所以他们家族在珀斯过年都好像在马来西亚般热闹。她察觉到这几年在珀斯过年，社区活动非常多，不少的购物中心、餐馆都可以看到舞狮。许多年货包括年糕很容易就可以在华人店买到。基本上，在珀斯过春节就只差还未把农历新年列为公共假期。

In terms of celebrating Chinese New Year, Mr. and Mrs. Wu prefer to spend the festive season in Perth during its hot summer, rather than Harbin which is extremely cold at this time with temperatures dropping to as low as -30 degrees Celsius. Besides the climate factor, this couple has basically retained the same Chinese New Year rituals with the family. They make dumplings for reunion dinner and watch Chinese New Year shows with their family happily. 对于在珀斯过春节，吴德勤和史宝珠更喜欢在这过个热腾腾的农历新年，毕竟在哈尔滨的温度是零下二三十度，非常寒冷。除了气候以外，基本的春节传统风俗还一样保留，除夕晚也同样一家人开开心心包饺子、看春晚节目。

Suardi

For the Chinese New Year celebration in Perth, Suardi highlighted the Perth Chinese New Year Fair in Northbridge for the past few years, which gave him a strong celebratory feeling of the festival. He hopes that Chinese New Year celebrations in Perth can grow into a larger scale with financial support from the more affluent members of the community, as well as the participation of more volunteers. What Suardi wants to do most during the Chinese New Year festival is to celebrate with his large extended family in Indonesia and visit his uncle’s and auntie’s families. Hence, he prefers to celebrate the festival back to his home town whenever possible. 对于在珀斯的农历新年庆会，相比1999 年来这个城市至今，大大改善了不少。他重点提到过去几年在北桥区举办珀斯新春年会给他带来过节的浓浓气息。但愿能有更多社区的善长仁翁可以慷慨解囊资助每年的新春活动，使其可以更加发扬光大，同时也希望更多的志愿者参与其中。对于林温祥而言，春节期间可以与自己在印尼的直属亲戚团圆是他过节的最大意义。因此，每年春节他都会尽可能与妻女回国过年。

Gladiolus 剑兰 Reference 资料来源◎Better Home & Garden, February 2015

译◎Elvei Yap 叶俐廷

如何种植？将剑兰球茎向上植入10-15 公分深的土壤里。球茎之间最后保持 8-15公分的距离。记住把球茎埋好后，必须勤加浇水。为免生长出来的枝茎遭强风破坏，可以考虑轻绑住细长直杆来支撑剑兰的枝茎。

颜色瞩目的剑兰，又名唐菖蒲，是夏天盛放的植物。红花剑兰，更是农历新年鲜花摆设的首选。

位置: 剑兰是典型的长日照植物，最好放置在阳光充足的环境。其枝茎比较长，最好可以种植在遮挡风吹的位置。

Home and Garden

土壤: 剑兰不喜欢长期种植在过于湿润的土地，避免潮湿的土地，可种在土层疏松、肥沃的土壤，最好添加了天然肥料如腐化的粪肥。

秘制食谱 Secret Recipe

肥料: 少量的肥料是必须的，花朵的营养取自球茎。在开花季节的前一个月最好可以多施肥，有助于花朵盛放。剑兰开花季节时，最好每隔两周施加给花朵的溶解性肥料。水分: 属于夏天花朵盛放的植物，剑兰须要至少一周浇一次水。若遇上旱热的天气，最好能多浇水。浇花时，得确保土壤吸收充足的水分。

Glamorous Gladdies, the graceful sword lily – or Gladiolus, as we know it best- is a true gift to the summer garden. Red Gladdies are also a popular choice of flower for the Chinese New Year.

How to plant : Plant the corms about 10-15 cm deep with the growing point facing upwards. The plants are best spaced about 8-15 cm apart. After planting the corms, always water in well. To prevent the possibility of stem damage from wind, it’s a good idea to tie plants to stakes as they grow. Position : Sunny positions are essential for strong stems and prolific flowering. Because the flower stems are so tall they are best planted in a spot that is protected from strong winds.

护理: 一般上，种植者最好在剑兰凋谢后，将其球茎从泥土取出收藏。然而，一般在温和的气候下，即使没有特别处理，每年剑兰都会依旧生长。如果在倾于严寒的地带，最好在枝叶枯萎后，将球茎取出收藏。清洗，晾干后收藏在干爽的位置，第二年再重新种植。防治害虫: 当剑兰盛放之际，也许会出现一种称为牧草虫的害虫。它们会侵袭剑兰的各部分甚至蓓蕾，以致其开不了花。注意观察这种大约一厘米长的棕色或黑色小斑点般的小害虫。可喷射杀虫剂：Confidor 或 MaxGuard来处理。种植小指示: 相比其他夏天开花的植物，剑兰的种植时间稍微比较晚。一般情况下，剑兰是在秋季的时候种入土地里。开花的季节一般是种植后的90-100天。在冬天凉爽的四季地区，种植者可以在六月至九月中期间种下球茎。在严寒气候地区，最好等到八月底才开始种。热带地区，基本上常年任何时间都可以种植剑兰。

Soil : Gladdies don’t like having wet feet for long. Avoid damp spots, and plant into free-draining soils, to which organic matter has been added - well-rotted manure or compost is ideal. Fertiliser : Little fertiliser is needed, as the flowers draw their nutrition from the corm. However, adding a complete fertiliser about a month before flowering will help produce strong and vibrant blooms. While plants are in flower, you can also feed them fortnightly with a soluble fertiliser formulated for flowering plants. Water : Blooming in summer as they do, Gladdies will need watering at least once a week, but be prepared to give them a little extra during a heatwave. A nice deep watering is more effective than a light splash with the hose every night. Care : Traditionally, gardeners are advised to dig up the corms at the end of the season for storage but in mild climates you’ll find you can enjoy years of flowers without any special attention. If you live in a frost-prone region, however, you may get better results by digging up the corms after the leaves have yellowed and died back. Wash, dry and store them in a dry place for replanting the following year. Pests : When the plants are in bloom, thrips can prove a major pest. They will sometimes eat their way into the developing buds and prevent the flower from opening. Keep an eye out for these tiny insects (small brown or black specks about 1mm long) and spray with an insecticide such as Confidor or MaxGuard. Planting pointers : When to plant: Being summer-flowering bulbs, gladioli are planted a littler later than their spring-flowering counterparts, which traditionally go into the ground during autumn. Flowering takes about 90 to 100 days from planting. Gardeners living in temperate frost-free areas can start planting the corms from June to mid-September. In colder frosty areas, it is safer to wait until late August to plant. In tropical zones, corms can be planted year round.

In terms of family culture, what comes to your mind first that you really want your children to pass on from generation to generation. Family culture refer to what your family eats, celebrates, believes in, the music, stories and art that are shared in your family, the language spoken at home, what your family does for fun each day, and traditional costume, etc. For this topic, our editorial team has collected opinions from eight mothers about what family culture they think their children should uphold.

My husband and I are Malaysians. An integral part of our children’s upbringing is to address elders or older children with appropriate Chinese titles, instead of using first names. One Chinese tradition we uphold is during Chinese New Year, when we will have family reunion dinner with grandparents and relatives. They wear traditional costumes, eat Chinese dishes and receive red packets.

My husband, Dr Han Chuan Khor, and I, Siow Khim Yeoh, are originally from Malaysia. We have taught our children to retain the traditional Chinese values such as the sense of propriety, justice, honesty and honour. We always remind our children to learn with an open mind and seek answers when they in doubt. Our family of four are all Buddhist practitioners as well as vegetarians. We like to share the compassionate teaching of Buddhism with our children, in order to influence them to be kind and gentle, and strive

As a Chinese mother living in a Western society, I don’t think we can fully control the values and beliefs that our younger generation going to uphold. The only thing I can do is to educate our children to differentiate between right and wrong. I am hoping my children can be someone who can contribute to society. It may not have to be a great contribution, so long as it does not bring damage to society. As for Chinese culture and values, I can only try my best to introduce them to my children. I think traditional beliefs and moral values may vary from time to time, so forcing children to follow may eventually lead to bad consequences. It would be good if children sincerely want to practise it after understanding the values and beliefs. Personally, I don’t have a strong will for these practices.

As sisters, they need to help and support each other, because family is the most important gift in life. Our girls are taught that rice and food in general, are laboriously cultivated. Consequently, they must not waste their food and never overindulge in food, as it is gluttony. We continuously remind them that life is filled with issues and challenges. They need to practise persistent hard work, balanced with a strong faith and also compromises, so that they can go forward in achieving their aspirations.

What the Western specialist has to say? 西方专家怎么说？ A psychologist, Marshal Duke, has found that children who have an intimate knowledge of their family’s history are typically more adaptable and self-confident than children who don’t. There’s something about understanding your past and knowing that you belong to something bigger than yourself that instils confidence. 心理学家Marshal Duke发现一般对家族历史有深入理解的孩子，比对家庭史不了解的孩子，显得有更强的适应力和自信心。对自己族群的过去了解和清楚自己的家族根源，有助于增强个人信心。资料来源 Reference https://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/10/09/creating-apositive-family-culture-the-importance-of-establishingfamily-traditions/

What a successful education entrepreneur in China has to say? 中国教育企业家怎么说？ According to a successful education entrepreneur in China, Minhong YU, we can easily notice that the personality of children is strongly influenced by their family culture. The family culture is made up of two major elements, including the day-to-day family atmosphere and the personality of parents. As an example, some families are very hospitable and have regular visitors, and the children in these families may be more sociable and tend to have more friends. If the parents are materialistic, their children will most likely copy them. 根据中国一名成功的教育企业家，俞敏洪曾经提及，我们可以很容易发现孩子的个性与个别的家庭文化息息相关。家庭文化可分为两个方面，分别是家庭整体环境以及父母的个性。比如说有的家庭非常好客，家里常常有客人，这种家庭长大的孩子通常社交能力比较强，而且朋友比较多。虚荣心的父母带出的孩子是虚荣的。资料来源 Reference http://www.xdf.cn/201510/10358287.html

Poh Meng I believe in the Chinese practice of studying smart, working hard and earning as much in as little time as possible, then keeping i t all within our own immediate communities, so that the hope of living long and prosperously is achieved. However, as we now live in a more open and global community, I would just like my children to learn new things and see the world with a wide perspective, so that they can be flexible, adaptive and experienced enough to find new ways of doing things better. More importantly, they need to know the importance of family and to respect as well as not forgetting their background. 我相信华人所实践的那一套聪明地学习，

一定要分清对与错，要做一个有用的人，未必一定伟大到对社会有所贡献，但至少不会对社会造成伤害，这是我对自己子女的唯一期望；至於中华传统文化和观念，他们能做到多少便多少了，反正传统观念和道德价值观会随时代而转变，强硬要他们遵从反而会弄巧反拙，如果他们觉得有道理的，真心去跟从或者效果会比较理想，我自己在这方面则没有很大的期望。

Lili Law Within the numerous Chinese traditional values, I would like to pass on the significance of benevolence and generosity to my children. All is possible with a benevolent heart. There is more happiness in giving than in receiving. 在众多华人传统道德观当中，我希望子女能够传承宽厚与仁慈之心。持着一颗仁德之心,就可能造育万物，并坚信施比受更有福。

Given that we are living in a foreign country, I think it is important to retain the tradition of speaking Chinese at home. My children can speak native Mandarin fluently and they are required to recite a short paragraph in Chinese and regularly practise Chinese writing when they reach school age. In addition, having Chinese dumplings during Chinese New Year and eating noodles in soup on birthdays are also part of our family tradition. I hope my children can continue to retain all these traditions.

When asked about traditional Chinese culture, I first thought of the study of Chinese language. I like to read classical stories and folk legends to my children in Chinese in order to help them understand the Chinese culture in depth. We celebrate traditional festivals together. During Chinese New Year, we decorate our home with lanterns, have reunion dinner and pray for a better year together. Besides Chinese New Year, we also celebrate the Lantern Festival, the Dragon Boat

说起传统文化，首先我会想到她们不能忘

I understand that children who are born and bred in Australia have to go to local schools and accept the loc al culture. However, I think it is important for Chinese parents to let our children learn Chinese in writing by sending them to Chinese schools and always trying to communicate with children in your mother tongue. Chopsticks and Chinese soup spoons are common cutlery used in the Chinese family, we should try to teach our children how to use them. Chopsticks is a unique dining ritual for the Chinese, this practice should not be forgotten.

《我家的狗狗》我们家有一条很大的狗，它的名字叫藜那。它有一身灰色柔软的毛和一双明亮的眼睛，特别讨人喜欢。

《铅笔和橡皮的争论》

从前有一个男孩叫小明。小明有一个黄色的铅笔盒。在铅笔盒里面住了一枝名为爱丽的铅笔、胶水先生、剪刀小姐、一个叫史蒂夫的橡皮、和一家七彩的颜色笔。

Chung Wah Rossmoyne Chinese school 乐思中文学校学生作品

有一天，当小明不在家的时候，爱丽铅笔和史蒂夫橡皮争论着小明最爱谁。爱丽说小明是最爱她的。他说： “小明最爱我，因为他常常用我。每天小明会带我去学校做功课、写字和画画，所以他一定最爱我。”史蒂夫橡皮也不甘示弱的说： “ 你错了！小明是最爱我的！他特别喜欢我。我并非一般的橡皮，我可是有牌子的橡皮。他都会用我来纠正铅笔你写下的错误，擦干净你留下的污迹。” 铅笔和橡皮俩的争论让铅笔盒里面其他的文具很不开心。当小明打开铅笔盒的时候，他看见它们难过的样子，就问它们： “你们为什么闷闷不乐呢？ “ 胶水先生就告诉他铅笔和橡皮的争论。小明听了以后，哈哈大笑，跟它们说；” 铅笔盒里面的东西我都爱！ “ 听了小明的一番话后，铅笔和橡皮很感动。于是，它们就不再争论，更成为好朋友，一起协助小明完成功课和手作。

虽然如此，奶奶却不太喜欢藜那。那是因为它又是喜欢挖坑和咬鞋子，很捣蛋。无论如何，我都希望藜那永远开开心心的和我们作伴。

《学中文的好处》

中国是一个历史悠久、文化源远流长的国家。可惜，不是所有人都明白学习中文的重要性。实话说，我以前不是很喜欢学中文。可是我现在终于明白为什么在这个时代学中文是非常的重要。

第一，我是中国人。我必须知道并且熟悉自己的国家语言，自己的母语。而且，我的爸爸、妈妈、弟弟、爷爷和奶奶都是中国人。基本上，我们一家，包括亲戚都是中国来的。他们的英语能力有限，所以中文是唯一一座于他们沟通的桥梁，也是于他们维系感情的重要工具之一。第二，中国的人口大概占世界人口的四分之一左右。中文是世界上其中最多人使用的语言之一，去到哪里都有会说汉语的人。现在中国一直不停地发展，有越来越多的工作需要会说汉语和英语的人才。通晓中文，无疑是让自己在就业市场上提高竞争力的方法之一。总的来说，我认为学习中文是非常重要的。它不但可以让我们和自己在祖国的亲朋戚友沟通，而且对以后和世界接轨也是非常有用的。

除此以外，藜那有一个灵敏的鼻子。因此，它一旦闻到我吃东西，就会飞快地跑过来讨吃的。它还有一条常常的尾巴。这可不是一般的尾巴，这条尾巴想木头一样硬。藜那还有很强壮的四肢，它的每只脚上都有五个锋利的脚趾。它有尖锐的牙齿。它还特别喜欢游泳和跑步。我们都很喜欢藜那，因为它即聪明又可爱。

Christmas, just like the role played by the Spring Festival in Chinese culture, is the most important celebration of the year in western countries. It is time for families and friends to reunite, and for people to enjoy a relaxing time after working hard for the whole year. Christmas is not strange to migrants, but how to celebrate it in our own way? You can find the answer at Chung Wah Community & Aged Care. In the weeks before Christmas, we invited many of our clients, volunteers and staff to join the party which we had been planning since the middle of the year. If you had come to visit our centre, you would have seen that some staff were busy with decorating the hall, while others were giving a hand in the kitchen preparing the lunch for the big day. The event on the day was a success. We welcomed more than 130 attendants, and they enjoyed the performances and the delicious lunch prepared by our volunteers. As we all know, volunteers have played an important role during the development of CAC. In the earlier days, they were a very important force in providing aged care activities to seniors.

these small things that make our lives unique and colourful. In the new year, besides improving our services, which is always our first priority, we would love to hear more stories from you, our clients, volunteers and staff, and to share them with the rest of the community. Your stories might not as wellknown as those famous ones, but they do help us appreciate the strength of our community. The happiest are not those who own all the best things, but those who can appreciate the beauty of life. If you have some touching stories, please call 9328 3988 to share with us, or come and join CAC to make more happy stories with your new friends. Look forward to hearing from you!

More details about Parkinson’s Why would you go it alone with Parkinson’s Disease? My father who lived in Singapore was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in his mid-fifties. For over 30 years, my mother and our family did the best we could with only a very basic understanding of the condition. We just managed. It was not until I joined as a Board Member and took on the role of Treasurer for Parkinson’s Western Australia Inc., that I fully understood the complexities of Parkinson’s and the support and services that are available to assist people to remain independent in their own homes. As a member of the Chung Wah Association, I would like to inform the members about the Parkinson’s Nurse Specialist service, so you can link family and friends in with this excellent free service. The Parkinson’s Nurse Specialist service will visit you in your home or you can make an appointment at the office in Nedlands. The Parkinson’s Nurse Specialists provide education and support for people and their families living with Parkinson’s. You can ask any question, such as do you have difficulty sleeping, anxiety, swallowing problems or pain, etc.

我的父亲当年五十几岁还住在新加坡时被诊断患有柏金逊，我们一家和母亲用对这疾病有限的知识照顾了父亲三十多年。直到我加入了西澳柏金逊机构理事会担任财政一职，才认识到这疾病的复杂性，以及提供给患者继续留在家中生活的支援和服务。

这专科护士服务可以提供上门探访，咨询者也可以向位于 Nedlands的办公室预约见面。这柏金逊机构专科护士服务给柏金逊患者和家人

提供更多资料和支持。您也可以向他们咨询您的疑问。比如有否睡眠问题、焦虑症状、吞咽的问题或出现疼痛。西澳柏金逊机构也鼓励患者多参加不同的活动，如：太极、瑜伽和舞蹈有助于增强平衡力和体态。您可参加当地社区定期活动或每周都有的柏金逊课程。现在参与了西澳柏金逊机构之后，我深信这个机构所提供的服务和疾病知识，对我的父母非常有帮助。

Most of us think of Parkinson’s as a condition that causes the shakes and movement problems but it is much more than that and in 30% of cases there is no tremor at all. Parkinson’s impacts every system in the body; common issues include tremor, falls, muscle rigidity, slowness of movement, gastrointestinal problems, sleep disturbances, depression and anxiety, sensory changes, speech and swallowing problems, cognitive changes and pain. The latest research indicates that more than 100,000 people in Australia live with Parkinson’s and more than 12,300 cases are diagnosed each year. The prevalence of Parkinson’s is higher than many cancers, including breast cancer, stomach, liver and pancreatic cancer, and kidney, bladder and lung cancer.

作为中华会馆的会员之一，我想要给会员们介绍有关是西澳柏金逊机构的专科护士服务，以让你可以告知家人和朋友有关这项优越服务。

Parkinson’s WA encourages participation in activities such as tai chi, yoga and dancing, which assist with posture and good balance. Join a local community group or you can attend the Parkinson’s Now being involved with Parkinson’s Western Australia Inc., I firmly believe that my parents would really have benefited from the services and understanding of the condition that is currently on offer by the organisation.

Physiotherapy in Aged Care 译◎Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

追忆先人 IN MEMORIAL

养老护理中的物理治疗

Physiotherapists are primary contact practitioners and are highly qualified and trained to treat and manage the physical function limitations associated with common long term health conditions which affect older people. These conditions are cardiovascular diseases e.g. heart disease and stroke, musculoskeletal conditions e.g. arthritis and osteoporosis and respiratory disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Physiotherapy is an important component of care enabling older people to remain in the community through rehabilitation and restorative care. It is widely acknowledged that adequate levels of physiotherapy can help older people improve or maintain optimal function and well being. Physiotherapists work and participate in diverse settings including acute care hospitals, community

and home based programs, residential aged care facilities, rehabilitation facilities, hydro therapy pools and falls and balance clinics. Other relevant areas of physiotherapy care include palliative, vestibular rehabilitation, continence management, lymphoedema management and falls prevention.

Older people want to remain independent and in control of how and where they live their lives and to be connected and relevant to their families and communities. While this is the desire of most older people, they may find it difficult to live by themselves as they become frailer and when they start having falls. Often after a fall, they develop a fear of falling which can lead to loss of confidence and fear avoidance, resulting in a vicious cycle of decline in balance, mobility, strength and fitness.

It is crucial as we age to continue to participate in any physical activity which you enjoy, whether it is just daily brisk walking, hiking, tai chi, dancing, golf, the list is endless.

老年人想独立生活，自己掌控所要的生活和地方，并与家人和社区保持一定的联系。这是绝大多数老年人所渴望的自主能力。当身体日渐衰弱且开始出现跌倒的状况，他们会慢慢察觉自己不太可能独自生活。经过一次摔倒后，通常他们对跌倒会产生一种恐惧而导致失去信心且逃避这种恐惧。因此而减少活动量致使身体的平衡力、行动能力、强健和灵活度出现恶性循环。随着年龄的增长，关键的是要继续参加任何您享受的体能活动，无论是轻快步走、爬山、太极、跳舞、哥尔夫球等等都

地陪伴母亲到她102岁。

Zhifang Wang, the widow of anti-Japanese war hero General Zhongzhu Chen, passed away at the age of 102 on 12 November 2017. Mr Zhi Chen was the only son of General Chen and Mrs Chen, and would like to share a few things about his late mother in this column. My mother, Zhifang Wang, was born into the family of a government official. When she was 10 years old, a 20-year-old poor student, Zhongzhu Chen, rented a room with her family in Nanjing. Chen came from a rural village in Yancheng and was there to study in Wangpu Military School in its sixth cohort. One day, she saw “Big Brother” Chen looked all over and under his bed for his last

coin. She appreciated that life was difficult for him, so she would often throw a few coins under his bed. Chen knew that Miss Wang was helping him and thought that she was a really kind girl. After Chen graduated, he was allocated to teach military order at Central University. As their age progressed, the two youngsters grew closer. Originally Miss Wang was betrothed to another family member; however when his family saw that she had fallen for such a well-built Mr Chen, looking all sharp in his military uniform with a gun, they gave in. After the two got married, in 10 years of war, they wrote an unprecedented epic heroic history, which was well-documented. Among the widows of various generals back then, my mother’s courageous deeds were very unique, and earned my parents the fame of “heroic martyr couple”. There were seven memorials dedicated to my late father in different parts of China. In the past, there was no shortage of matchmakers who approached my mother. My mother’s response was “I have a son; I will not re-marry and won’t drag him into a new family.” For this, I have tirelessly accompanied my mother by her side until she passed away at the age of 102.

好。有足够的研究调查显示，适量的运动可有效的减低出现跌倒的机率。因此，我们应该保持锻炼的好习惯，以免失去身体原有的功能。

We all plan for life’s major events: our wedding day, buying a home, starting a family, the children’s education, for our career through to retirement. We typically work harder to achieve this, retire later and live longer. This final event is a celebration of our life and achievements, and we’re able to protect, one last time, those we love from making decisions about our final arrangements, at what unquestionably will be an emotional time. An increasing number of products exist on the market for funeral planning, including funeral bonds, funeral insurance and prepaid funerals, but not all these products are alike. A prepaid funeral with Purslowe & Chipper Funerals gives you the opportunity to record your wishes by prearranging and paying a future funeral service at today’s price. You can personalise many aspects of the services to be delivered and it does not adversely affect your personal tax, pension or other entitlements.

hy do we plan ahead? We do it to reap benefits like peace of mind, security and to protect those we care for so we can enjoy life. We all plan for life’s major events: our wedding day, buying a home, starting a family, the children’s education, for our career through to retirement. We typically work harder to achieve this, retire later and live longer. Some of us are becoming more affluent, enabling us to plan retirements full of the sorts of activities we perhaps didn’t have time for during our working lives. Many of us look to get our affairs in order, enabling retirement to be a time of enjoyment with the family, newly discovered hobbies and rediscovered passions. Apart from writing a will, what else can we do to plan ahead? Traditionally it has been a taboo subject and we’ve had few options, but now that’s changed. Today we’re able to plan ahead for almost anything including our funeral. This final event is a celebration of our life and achievements, and we’re able to protect, one last time, those we love from making decisions about our final arrangements, at what unquestionably will be an emotional time. An increasing number of products exist on the market for funeral planning, including funeral bonds, funeral insurance and prepaid funerals, but not all these products are alike. A prepaid funeral gives you the opportunity to record your wishes by prearranging and paying a future funeral service at today’s price. This offers a number of benefits over other forms of funeral planning. It protects you and your family against inflation. You can personalise many aspects of the services to be delivered and it does not adversely affect your personal tax, pension or other entitlements. You can also feel secure in the knowledge that your funds are safely held by the Over 50’s Friendly Society until needed. A prepaid funeral plan offers more than just a cash payout. It gives you the time you need to make informed decisions about the funeral best suited to you, allows you to incorporate your cultural wishes and beliefs into your service and gives you the security of knowing your family is protected. The selected services are guaranteed. To take the first step in planning for your own funeral or memorial service, please speak to your friends at Chipper Funerals on 08 9330 6344 (Perth South) or 08 9381 5888 (Perth North). And for assistance in your language of origin please ask to speak with Stephen Kum on 0428 765 248.

们为什么要提前计划？我们这样做是为了获得安心和保障，并且能保护我们所关心的人，让我们可以享受生活。我们都会规划人生中重大的事件，例如：婚礼、买房、组织家庭、孩子的教育、事业和退休。我们努力地工作去实践了才退休。我们中的一些人变得越来越富裕，使我们能够计划退休生活，参与在工作时期没有时间参与的活动。有许多人期待将事务循序完成，使退休成为享受家庭的时间，培养新爱好和重新发觉激情。除了立遗嘱，还有什么我们可以预先规划的吗？这传统上是一个忌讳，我们没有多余的选择。但是随着时代的改变，现在几乎什么都可以预先规划，包括我们的葬礼。这人生最后的一个典礼要庆祝我们的人生和成就。我们能最后一次保护我们所爱的人在毫无疑问最悲伤的时候还要为我们的丧事安排做抉择。殡葬计划市场的产品越来越多，包括殡葬债券，保险和预付殡葬。但并不是所有的产品都一样。预付殡葬让你有机会按你的愿望和现今的价格来预先安排和支付未来的殡葬服务。这比其他形式的殡葬计划提供了一些好处。这计划保护你和你的家人免受通货膨胀。你可以在不影响你的税金、养老金和其他权益下，要求多方面的个人化服务。你也可以安心知道你的资金被Over 50 Friendly Society 安全持有，直至需要。预付殡葬计划不仅提供现金支付。它给你时间去为最适合你的葬礼作出明智的决定。这计划能配合你的文化背景和宗教信仰来给你服务，确保你的家人获得保障。你所选的服务都得会获得保证。如欲规划你的葬礼和追思会，请致电

Chung Wah Association Chinese Orchestra

文◎Zhi CHEN陈志

中华会馆华乐团

译◎Helene FUNG 冯恺盈

The Chung Wah Orchestra is an essential part of the Chung Wah Association. The group teaches and performs classical Chinese music at various community events and special occasions to promote and preserve Chinese culture. The Chung Wah Orchestra was started in 2004 under the leadership of Mr Zhi CHEN. The youngest member is 9 years old and the oldest is about 70 years old. It is a “family” of three generations playing together.

华华乐团是中华会馆一项举足轻重

对于每一个人来说，有一门音乐方面的爱

且推广中国古典音乐。在陈志老师的领导

人生。

下，中华华乐团在2004年成立。至今，最年轻的学生仅九岁，最年长的学生大约七十岁，可谓一个属于三代同堂的家庭演奏团。

近十五年来，在中华会馆Northbridge的会所，每个星期日的上午11点-12点半是华乐团的排练时间，下午12点半-2点是学员班的上课

学习各种乐器的演奏，有的很容易，有的比

较难。一般导师对初学的学生，都是从最容易的

课。这些年的收费仅是每三个月五十元，按十

乐器开始教，那就是中国的小四弦琴。然而中国

二个星期日计算。

小四弦琴，基本在澳大利亚买不到，取而代之的，导师选择了澳大利亚流行的Ukulele，把尼龙弦换成金属弦，就非常接近小四弦琴。只是琴身不是圆的而是小吉他型的。在这种琴的学习过程中，学生可以学到三种技能。

多年来，中华会馆华乐团能演奏的乐曲上百首，目前常用的乐曲就有七十多首，可分别使用F、C、G、D四种调。团员使用的乐器包括笛子、二胡、柳琴、琵琶、小阮、中阮、扬琴、古筝、大提琴等。每次演出最多可有三十人参加，

一、学习几个常用调的指法，如 G调、D调

最长演奏时间高达三小时，且乐曲不重复。这

二、学习识读中国的简谱

些年来，一般情况下每年会有二十多场的演出，

三、训练听觉的音准能力

足迹几乎遍布珀斯的所有演出场地。中华华乐

的各族人民、各个社团及政府各部门，很好地提高了华人的影响，介绍了中华的音乐文化。

Some of the musical instruments are easier to learn, while others are harder. Most teachers will start teaching beginners on the easiest instrument – which for Chinese music is a little four-stringed instrument, Sixuanqin. However, you cannot just go out and buy a Sixuanqin in Australia. So the teachers choose the Ukulele, which is quite popular in Australia; once you have changed the nylon strings into metallic ones, it is actually very close to the Sixuanqin, except that it is guitar-shaped rather than round body. From learning using this instrument, students can learn three important skills: 1. Learning a few commonly used fingering patterns, e.g. in the keys of G and D

Founder of the Chung Wah Chinese Orchestra, Mr Zhi Chen 在南京就读中、小学期间，曾向南京艺术学校的好几个老师拜师学艺。曾学过笛子、秦琴、三弦、琵琶、阮、筝等乐器。多年来一直活跃在舞台上。每年的春节期间，都要为南疆的部队、哨所及驻地的地方政府巡迴演出两个月。陈志老师1983年来澳大利亚后，多次参加

2. Learning to read Chinese musical notation, “jianpu”

中华会馆的各项演出。2002年起，参与中华会

3. Training the pitch accuracy of their hearing

馆几位音乐爱好者的音乐活动，开始教导学生

Music is a hobby that benefits everyone. It can improve one’s cultural awareness, develop one’s temperament, de-stress, train one’s hand-brain coordination, make new friends and generally enhance one’s life. For fifiteen years, the Chinese Orchestra has always met at the Chung Wah Association in Northbridge every Sunday. From 11:00am to 12:30pm is the orchestra’s rehearsal time, and from 12:30pm to 2:00pm is class time for students to improve their skills. As long as the orchestra leader is physically in Perth, the orchestra classes never stop during festivals or holidays. The fees are only $50 per quarter (twelve Sundays). Over the years, the Chung Wah Chinese Orchestra has built a repertoire of over one hundred songs; even currently, its regular playlist has about seventy songs. Each performance can involve up to thirty members and the longest we have performed was for three hours, with no repeated songs. Generally speaking, we have over twenty performances a year and have performed at most venues in different parts of Perth.

弹奏中乐，还在中华会馆的两所中文学校及佛光山中文学校开办收生学华乐。大约两年后，正式以中华华乐团的名义开始演出活动。

中华会馆华乐团创办人陈志先生 During Mr Chen’s primary and secondary school years, he learnt multiple musical instruments from several teachers, who also taught at the Nanjing Art Academy – such as bamboo flute, Qin harp, Xanxuan, Pipa, Ruan, and Guzheng. Mr Chen has been actively performing over the years. During Chinese New Year, he would tour for two months every year to entertain the troops, and the people at various stations and local governments by China’s southern border. After Mr Chen came to Australia in 1983, he was active in many performances organised by Chung Wah Association. From 2002, he joined a few music lovers from Chung Wah and started teaching students traditional Chinese music. He also taught at two of Chung Wah’s Chinese schools and Fo Guang Shan’s Chinese school. Approximately two years thereafter, he and his students officially performed under the banner of Chung Wah Association Chinese Orchestra.

What is Chinese Music? Chinese musical instruments were traditional classified into eight categories known as “bayin”. Traditional music in China is played on solo instruments or in small ensembles of plucked and bowed stringed instruments, flutes, and various cymbals, gongs, and drums. The scale is pentatonic. Bamboo pipes and Qin are among the oldest known musical instruments from China; instruments are traditionally divided into categories based on their material of composition: animal skins, gourd, bamboo, wood, silk, earth/clay, metal, and stone. Chinese orchestras traditionally consist of bowed strings, woodwinds, plucked strings and percussion. 《周礼·春官》中，把乐器以主要製作材質或發聲體的材質分为金、石、丝、竹、匏、土、革、木八类，称“八音” ，是最早的乐器分类法之一。古代乐器主要有埙、缶、筑、排箫、箜篌、筝、古琴、瑟等，乐曲一般缓慢悠扬，主要用於宫廷或宗教。漢、唐以后，通过西域和国外的交流频繁，西方主要是伊斯兰教世界和印度的音乐和乐器大量流入，汉唐时统治者奉行开放政策，源于外国的乐器如笛子、筚篥、琵琶、胡琴等廣被采纳，并將之改良发展。

Lay Choo, Chung Wah Line dance teacher, as well as teachers: Wanda, Alyson, Seela, Jacqui, Rita and Helen.

The response was unexpectedly so good that we had to limit sales of the tickets. It was wonderful to see so many line dancers from about six different dance groups attending this casual, fun event. The dancers were lead by their dance teachers:

There were door prizes to be won, as well as raffles prizes. A total of $1,150.20 (inclusive of raffle sales) was raised which would go towards helping the maintenance cost of the Balcatta Cultural Centre.
