节庆友爱

节日庆典是祖先留给我们的文化，家人、朋友和社区因为节庆聚在一起同欢共乐，孩童通过节日庆典理解和体验到文化的传承。

这期的《中华之声》，带给您2018年二月和三月份的农历新年庆祝活动报道之余，也不忘提醒您农历五月初五的端午节即将到来。中华会馆的端午节活动以及节日的相关资料也在刊内。

五月份的第二个星期天，母亲节。 “妈妈，辛苦了”，第24页，特别采访了三位分别 30、40、50岁左右的母亲，分享当妈妈的心路历程。此外，亲子乐专题，我们还专门邀请了注册心理师撰写了六个培育说双语小孩的策略。我们不仅只是庆祝节日，社区的荣耀也是值得庆祝一番。希望您可以阅读两篇分别是 “珀斯华人社区的殊荣”和“社区英雄，无言感激”的文章，或许会让您开始思考加入社区的义工行列。

Festivals bring us closer

Celebrating festivals is a traditional culture epassed down from our ancestors. It gives a reason for family, friends and communities to connect. And yet, it provides an opportunity for our offspring to learn and experience the traditions of the event.

In this issue of Chung Wah Magazine, we bring you coverage of the Chinese New Year celebrations that took place in February and March 2018. Another significant Chinese festival, “Duan Wu Jie”, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival, is celebrated on every fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. You can find the stories and activities about this festival in this issue.

这期的《中华之声》再次体现“回顾历史，活在当下和展望未来”的重要。

On the second Sunday in May, “Mother’s Day” is celebrated and in “Mother deserves a special day”, page 24, three mothers in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s respectively share their stories in motherhood. For our parenting topic, we invited a registered psychologist to share six strategies on raising a bilingual child.

Ting Chen 陈挺 Chief Editor 主编

Again, this issue of the magazine will make you reflect on yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow.

凝聚融合•文化传承•人道关怀

Through promoting Harmony, preserving our Heritage and practising Humanity 译◎Helene Fung 冯恺盈

丁少平会长 President Ding ShaoPing

尊敬的中华会馆会员朋友们：

今年珀斯的吉祥狗年春节热闹非凡，在西澳当地政府和中国驻珀斯总领馆的支持下，中华会馆与珀斯华人社区，联合举办了多个中国新年系列庆祝活动，活动汇聚了当地华人的共同力量，为当地民众和游客带来丰富而密集的文化体验。如今，春节已经被珀斯当地民众所接受并期待，中国文化也日益浸润到普通珀斯民众的生活之中。

特别值得一提的是，由中华会馆组织的2018年珀斯中华新年文化节获得了圆满的成功，吸引了超过8万珀斯民众前来参加活动。无论从多元文化游行到摊位，游戏的安排，从小舞台、大舞台的演出和大屏幕的展示，都汇聚着大家无私的付出和智慧。无论是台前的辉煌，还是幕后的工作都折射出我们这个大团队的力量。火火红绸、浓浓年味，凝聚无数心血和付出的新年文化节赢得了广泛认可。作为主办单位，我们非常感动

| Chung Wah Quaterly Bilingual Magaizne Autumn Issue

和骄傲，感谢为本次活动默默奉献的每一个人，感谢参与、支持的各个社团和媒体。有了您们的支持和奉献，使“珀斯中华新年文化节”成为西澳州规模最大、内容最丰富、影响最大的中华文化品牌活动，也成为西澳多元文化的一个亮点。一年一度的中华会馆新春联欢舞会也照例在中华文化中心举行，借此机会增进了会员之间的交流与联系。此外，中华会馆与珀斯华星艺术团联合举办的“文化中国 · 四海同春”珀斯站大型慰侨演出也于春节期间亮相珀斯音乐厅，为当地侨胞们献上了一台充满中华文化魅力的艺术盛宴。本次春节慰侨访演不仅获得了珀斯当地群众的欢迎和好评，也受到了国侨办的肯定和支持。暨新春系列活动过后，中华会馆还有很多在文化跟社区服务方面的工作要做。首先，我们会将重点放在即将在6月3日举行的

2018年“中华杯”龙舟节上。赛龙舟是传统端午佳节的一项重要活动，龙舟运动的精髓就是团结合作共赢。这个发轫于华人传统文化的节日，在澳洲多元文化土壤的滋养下，已成为一个集运动、娱乐、文化传播于一体的水上运动。会馆将为中华龙舟队购置一条龙舟，以便龙舟队员们能够更好的展开训练。希望龙舟爱好者们都能积极参与到“中华龙舟节”中，使传统龙舟文化得以传承，在西澳的沃土里开花、结果。中华会馆将继续秉承“凝聚融合•文化传承•人道关怀”的理念，致力于长老服务、中华语言、文化和教育的推广，为广大会员和社区提供优质的服务。中华会馆是所有的华人华侨和社区同胞的共同机构，我们期待着广大会员的积极参与，为我们会馆的建设与发展共同努力! 谢谢大家！

CHUNG WAH BILINGUAL QUARTERLY MAGAZINE

Dear members:

This year's auspicious Spring Festival kicked start the year of the dog with a festive atmosphere. With the support of the West Australian Government and the Chinese Consulate in Perth, the Chung Wah Association and the Perth Chinese community jointly organised many events celebrating the Chinese New Year. This series of events united the efforts of the local Chinese community, and brought valuable cultural experiences, in quick succession, to local residents and tourists alike. At present, the spring festival has become both accepted and expected by the local community; Chinese culture has also been infused into the daily lives of Perth residents. Worthy of a special mention is the fact that the 2018 Chinese New Year Fair organised by the Chung Wah Association achieved great success, having attracted over 80,000 visitors. Selfless sacrifice and wisdom from everyone were behind everything from the multicultural parade to market stalls, to games, to performances on both stages, to the display on the super screen. Whether it’s the glamour on stage or the work back stage, they all reflected our teamwork. Red decorations enhanced the festive spirit. The Chinese New Year Fair is made possible from countless efforts of volunteers who received recognition far and wide. As the main organiser, we feel both very touched and very proud. We would like to thank every single

person who has contributed to this event. We would also like to thank all the organisations and media who participated and supported our event. Your support and contributions are what made the “Perth Chinese New Year Fair” a recognised Chinese cultural icon, the biggest and most far-reaching Chinese cultural event, and a bright spot in the West Australian multicultural calendar. The annual Chinese New Year Dinner and Dance was also held at the Chung Wah Cultural Centre, and provided an opportunity for members to mingle and get to know each other more.

The Chung Wah Association and Perth Huaxing Art Troupe also jointly organised the Perth leg of the “Cultures of China, Festival of Spring” - an engaging and artistic Chinese cultural performance staged at the Perth Concert Hall during the Spring Festival period, especially for overseas Chinese in Perth. This Spring Festival performance tour was well received and welcomed by the Perth community and was supported by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. After the Spring Festival series of events, there is still a lot of cultural and community work for Chung Wah Association to do. Our next task is to organise the “Chung Wah Cup” Dragon Boat Festival, to be held on the 3rd of June 2018. Dragon boating is an important traditional activity to mark the Duanwu Festival; the

essence of dragon boating is in winning through collaboration and unity. While this sport originated from traditional Chinese culture, after being nurtured by Australian multiculturalism, it has developed into a water sport that combines sport, entertainment and cultural significance. The Association will purchase a dragon boat for the Chung Wah Dragon Boat Team, to facilitate better training by the team members. We hope that all dragon boating enthusiasts can actively participate in the Chung Wah Dragon Boat Festival, so that the legacy of traditional dragon boating culture can be further passed on.

Chung Wah Association will continue to honour our vision of “Through promoting Harmony, preserving our Heritage and practising Humanity“, we serve as the bridge between the Chinese community and mainstream society”; we will continue to work on our aged care services, the promotion of Chinese language, culture and education, and to provide quality services to members and the community. Chung Wah Association is an organisation that belongs to all people of Chinese heritage and members of the Chinese community. We look forward to our members’ active participation and contributions towards building and developing the Association further. Thank you !

The Order of Australia 澳大利亚勋章

Big Honour for the Perth Chinese Community

珀斯华人社区的荣耀文／译◎Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

The Australia Day Awards in January this year once again recognised the contributions of respected members of the Chung Wah Association. This year, Dr. Bob Chin Huat Tan became a member of the Order of Australia for his meritorious contributions and voluntary service to the Perth Chinese community. Dr. Tan is the chairperson of the Chung Wah Council of Elders and he is the third member of Chung Wah Association to be awarded this honour.

201 8 年的澳大利亚日，中华会馆的元老会主席，陈振发医生获颁澳大利亚勋位勋章 Medal of the Order (OAM)，成为中华会馆贡献者第三位获此勋章。

The Order of Australia

In the Australian honours system, appointments to the Order of Australia confer the highest recognition for outstanding achievement and service.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II established this system of honours and awards on 14 February 1975. Prior to 1975, Australians were recognised under the British honours system, also known as the Imperial Awards. There are two divisions of the Order of Australia: the Civil or General Division and the Military Division. The General Division of the Order of Australia has five levels originally: Knights / Dames of the Order; Companion of the Order (AC); Officer of the Order (AO); Member of the Order (AM) and Medal of the Order (OAM). The rank of knighthood from the Order of Australia was scrapped in 1986. It was reinstated by former Prime Minister Tony Abbott in 2014, but was removed from the list by current Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in November 2015.

澳大利亚勋章

每一年的澳大利亚国庆日和女王生日，澳大利亚政府都会为国家或人民作出卓越贡献或突出服务的澳大利亚公民进行表彰，并颁发”澳大利亚勋章” (Order of Australia)。此澳大利亚勋章制度，是由英国女王伊丽莎白二世在1975年2月14日创立的。而在此之前，澳大利亚则是沿用英国帝国体系来表彰本国公民的。

澳大利亚勋章分为两大类：通用类和军事类，原本分为五个级别，排名由高至低为：澳大利亚爵级勋章和女爵级勋章 Knights / Dames of the Order，澳大利亚同伴勋章 Companion of the Order （AC）, 澳大利亚官佐勋章 Officer of the Order (AO)，澳大利亚员佐勋章 Member of the Order(AM), 澳大利亚勋位勋章 Medal of the Order (OAM)。其中的澳大利亚爵级和女爵级勋章只限于通用类别，在1986年曾撤销，在2014年由时任总理艾伯特宣布恢复这一勋位，但于2015年11月又被继任的总理特恩布尔宣布取消。

| Chung Wah Quaterly Bilingual Magaizne Autumn Issue

Nomination and Appointment of OAM

Nominations for awards in the General Division of the Order of Australia come directly from the community. Nominations are considered by the Council for the Order of Australia, which makes recommendations direct to the Governor-General. The Council meets twice a year. There are 19 members, including representatives of every state and territory, public office holders (ex-officio) and community representatives. The Governor-General on the recommendation of the Prime Minister appoints the community representatives on the Council. Appointments in the Order of Australia are not made posthumously. However, a nomination will be considered if the person is alive when the nomination form is received by the Australian Honours and Awards Secretariat at Government House in Canberra.

The awards are generally announced on Australia Day (26 January) and on the Queen’s Birthday public holiday (June).

澳洲勋章如何选定？

如今，爵级和女爵级勋章已被删除，其余通用类的勋章的提名来自社区。 “澳大利亚勋章委员会”Council for the Order of Australia将所有递交申请的提名人选进行筛选，之后直接推荐给联邦总督。 “澳大利亚勋章委员会”一共有19名成员，他们是来自各州和领地地区的人民以及公务员代表。人民代表由联邦总督根据总理的提名来任命。澳大利亚勋章只授予给尚在人世的候选人。只要联邦总督府在收到提名时，候选人仍尚在人世，那么委员会就会考虑他的申请。澳大利亚勋章的公布时间为一年两次，分别在1月26日澳大利亚国庆日和女王生日。

Chung Wah and OAM | 中华会馆中的澳大利亚勋章获得者

Since 1975, three active members of the Association have been appointed as OAM. They are Mrs. Edie Hoy Poy (1988), Mrs. Anita Chong (2015) and the most current recipient, Dr. Bob Tan.

由1975年至今，中华会馆的活跃分子中有三人曾获颁澳大利亚勋位勋章 Medal of the Order (OAM)，他们分别是1988年荣获此殊荣的“中华妈妈”阮丽茹女士；2015年有林玉莲；2018年有陈振发医生。

Bob TAN OAM

Dr Bob Tan, the chairperson of the Chung Wah Council of Elders, was conferred the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) as part of the 2018 Australia Day honours. Bob was awarded the medal for his service to the Chinese community in Western Australia. In addition to serving on the Chung Wah Executive Committee, Bob was active in many Chung Wah cultural activities and he actively initiated the process which led to the fundraising and subsequent acquisition of the land in Balcatta, where the current activity centre is situated. He received life membership from the Association in 2010 and is also a life member of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, as well as a Justice of the Peace since 1983. Bob has dedicated over 40 years to voluntary work with the Chinese, seniors and the disadvantaged in our society.

2018年澳大利亚日，中华会馆元老会主席，陈振发医生被授予澳大利亚荣誉勋章，以表彰他为西澳华人社区所作出的杰出贡献。早期，Bob不仅在中华会馆的理事会服务多年，他也活跃于组织各类文化活动，并积极推行筹款活动落实购买中华会馆 Balcatta区的土地，及中华文化中心的所在地。2010年，他获得了中华会馆的永久会员荣誉。此外，他也是皇家澳大利亚普通医生学院的永久会员。自1983年以来，他一直持有太平绅士的身份。四十年来志愿性帮助了不少华人、长者和弱势群体。

Anita Chong OAM

The late Mrs. Anita Chong was conferred the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) as part of the 2015 Queen’s Birthday Honours. Anita was awarded the medal for her service to foreign language education as a teacher, as well as to professional organisations. Anita began teaching Mandarin at the Chung Wah weekend schools in 1977 as a volunteer teacher and became the first Principal in 1984 of the Chung Wah Chinese School based at West Leederville Primary School. She was a Founding and Life Member of both the Chinese Language Teachers Association of Western Australia and the Chinese Language Teachers Federation of Australia. In 2000, Anita was awarded “Outstanding Chinese Language Educator” by the government of the People’s Republic of China. In 2009, she received an Outstanding Contribution Award from the Professional Teaching Council of Western Australia. Three years later, she won the coveted MLTAWA (Modern Language Teachers’ Association of WA), Hilde Dixon Award, the highest honour for language teachers in WA.

2015年女王诞辰纪念日，已故Anita林少莲女士被授予了澳大利亚荣誉勋章。Anita 因其在外语教育方面对教学和专业机构所作的贡献，而被授予这一奖项。林少莲自1977 年起，就在中华会馆的周末学校担任中文志愿老师，并在1984年就任座落于Leederville 西部小学的中华中文学校的首任校长。她曾是西澳中文教师协会的创始成员和终身会员。2000年，林少莲被中国政府授予“杰出中文教师”的称号。2009年，她获得了西澳职业教学委员会颁发的杰出贡献奖。三年后，她获得了梦寐以求的西澳现代语言教师协会Hilde Dixon奖项，这是西澳授予语言教师的最高荣誉。

EdieHoyPoyOAM

The late Mrs. Edie Hoy Poy was the first member of Chung Wah to be awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for her meritorious contributions and voluntary services to the Perth Chinese community. Edie was personally vested with the Medal by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the Government House Ballroom in April 1988. This Australia Day Award was an honour which was richly deserved and proudly felt by all Chung Wah members and the Chinese community at that time. Edie worked tirelessly for over 50 years with the Chinese and other migrant communities, seniors and the disadvantaged in our society. Her active involvement in community groups, forums, workshops and public consultations was directly responsible for the development and improvement of a vast number of services and programs that benefit both the migrant and wider communities. In 2002, Edie received the Multicultural Ambassador Award and the Western Australian Citizen of the Year Community Service Award.

已故阮丽茹女士Edie，是首位中华会馆会员被授予澳大利亚荣誉勋章，以表彰她为珀斯华人社区所作出的杰出贡献和志愿服务。1988年4月，英国 Elizabeth 女王二世在政府大楼正厅亲自为阮丽茹戴上了澳大利亚勋章，这让当时华人社区的所有人感到无比骄傲。Edie生平为华人及其他移民社区、长者和弱势群体，孜孜不倦地奉献。作为一位充满热情和敢于直言的志愿者，她的努力间接或直接让移民以及其他少数民族所接受的社会服务和项目得到改善。2002年，阮丽茹被授予多元文化大使奖项，随后也在2003 年获颁西澳年度最佳公民（社区服务）。

CHUNG WAH BILINGUAL QUARTERLY MAGAZINE

Growing up during the period of the Second World War, Dr. Tan came to realise that life is short and decided to “extend” his life into three for these aspects: Family and Professional Career; His People and Community; and Global Community. His strong sense of community spirit is partially inherited from his late father, who was the Chairman of the local Chinese School Board in Malaysia. 出生于第二次世界大战时期的他，从小就理解到生命的短暂，所以一直很努力把生命一分为三发展，分别为家庭和专科事业、自己的民族同胞和社区，以及全球人类。他强烈的社区精神也许是由已逝父亲所遗传，其已故父亲曾是马来西亚中文学校的校董主席。

Winning Glory for Chinese in WA In the 1980s, the Chinese community was self-effacing and subject to discrimination, both institutionally and in the public arena. Some people were tormented and had their livelihood damaged through bombings, especially of Chinese restaurants. Dr. Eric Tan became a leader in the community to fight racism. As President of the Chung Wah Association between 1986 and 1990, he helped to get a law against incitement to hatred passed in the WA Parliament.

In order to generate a better understanding of the Chinese culture and improve community relations, Dr. Eric Tan (as Chairman of the 75th Anniversary Celebration Committee) and his team arranged a Festival of exhibitions, performances, lectures, films and competitions, designed to inform and involve the general public. The Festival was a rewarding undertaking and it provided a new

为西澳华人争光

上世纪八十年代，华人在珀斯显得格外沉默低调，当时在制度上或公众场合，华人备受歧视。有的华人在生活上屡受折磨，甚至遭受破坏，特别是华人餐馆爆炸事件频频发生。在这非常时期，陈继志医生统领着社区的力量反歧视。1986至1990年期间，作为中华会馆会长的陈医生，他推动西澳议院通过了反煽动仇恨的法案。为了增进彼此理解来打破隔膜，陈医生以中华会馆七十五周年纪念筹备委员会主席的身份，与一班志同道合之士共同安排了与华人文化相关的展览会、表演、演讲、电影及比赛，促使相互的交流并鼓励公众人士的参与。这周年庆的系列活动引起社会的热烈支持，同时也

sense of confidence and dignity to the many Chinese residents living in this state.

Furthermore, Dr. Eric Tan initiated the Oz concert that provided an opportunity for various ethnic communities to present their cultural performances in front of mainstream communities. The Oz concert was organised to promote community harmony and this has endured for 25 years. A testimonial photograph of multicultural people taken at the Oz concert celebrating “Harmony” has won the United Nations Media Peace Prize.

Ministers and other prominent political figures from both Australia and aboard have regarded it as essential to speak at the iconic Coffee Shop Forums of WACCC as these promote international business.

Dr. Tan and a few Chung Wah members then founded the WA Chinese Chamber of Commerce (WACCC), which was extended from the Business and Professional Group of the Chung Wah Association. With the strong political and media contacts of Dr. Tan, Prime Ministers, Cabinet

Dr. Tan started as an overseas student and finished up as the Chancellor of Curtin University, one of the largest university in Australia. His passion in finding a path for other people, especially the younger generation, to excel has never ended. During the last economic recession, the youth unemployment rate was in the mid-twenties and in some areas 75%. With the help of friends, Dr. Tan established Project Employ Youth. He and his team secured more than 1,500 first time jobs for young people. For this successful and extraordinary effort, he was awarded Citizen of the Year for Western Australia in 1993.

如此成功和超前的成果，顺理成章让陈医生选上了1993年的西澳年度最佳公民。

在推动多元文化运动方面，陈继志医生更是功不可没。他所发起的澳洲演唱会，提供了一个宝贵的平台给各少数民族在当地社区呈献民族舞蹈歌唱节目。这一年一度的多元文化演唱会旨在促进社区和谐，此活动持续了二十五年之久。曾有一张此演唱会含括多元文化民族代表的纪念照，获得了联合国媒体和平大奖。

陈继志医生以留学生身份来到西澳，曾担任澳大利亚规模最大的大学之一的科廷大学的校长。他一直热衷于给有才之士尤其是年轻一代，寻找机会发挥所长。在过去的经济衰退时期，年轻失业率徘徊在25%左右，有的地区更攀升高达75%的失业率。在众多朋友的帮助下，陈医生创办了“雇佣青年”计划，他和他的团队成功给首次工作的年轻人争取了超过1500份工作。

Kids has a great time enjoying themselves on the variety of games and activities around the Kid’s Zone. The multicultural concert in the evening was again the highlight of the second half of the event. It was obvious that the great reputation of the concert has travelled far and wide, as evidenced by the packed house at the Northbridge Piazza well before the start of the concert. The Piazza hosted the official opening of the event at 7 pm starting with a grand lion dance performance by the Chung Wah Lion Dance Troupe, and climaxed with a vibrant multicultural concert.

The profile of this event has clearly gone up by leaps and bounds, judging by the amount of media interests and coverage on the events, as well as the acknowledgement of government bodies and political figures. In attendance were, Hon. Mark McGowan ( Premier of WA), Dr. Mike Nahan (Opposition Leader of WA), Mr. Lei Kezhong (Consul-General of Chinese Consulate General in Perth), Mr. Paul Papaliah (Minister

Chung Wah Cultural Groups Chinese New Year Outreach

中华文化组珀斯新春大团拜

文◎Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

ne of the key motives for Chinese people to celebrate festivals is a sense of togetherness especially during Chinese New Year. There’s nothing quite like a good celebration to bring people and communities together. The 2018 Chinese New Year period saw many of Perth’s local government recreational places, shopping centres, restaurants, schools and tourist attractions filled with decorations, activities and performances relevant to Chinese New Year. It is a great joy to see more and more people each year from outside the Chinese community take the opportunity to connect, learn and share in Chinese culture.

Chung Wah was a hive of activities during

to organise a range of our events and activities for the local Chinese and for people from diverse backgrounds

ion Dance is a quintessential part of Chinese New Year celebrations. It has continued to be a popular performance among celebrations in Western Australia, as it is believed that the lion is an auspicious animal that brings good luck. Accompanied by the music of beating drums, clashing cymbals and resounding gongs, and performed in a lion costume, the lion dance always draws the attention of the surrounding people to watch the demonstration of lion dance together with martial arts agility.

作为一位年迈的妇女，我这一辈子，在这之前从未亲身观赏或感受过令人感到振奋和充满热情的舞狮表演。光是从电视上欣赏的舞狮演出，完全不能与现场体验所带来的雀跃感相比。这次的亲身体验所带来快乐，估计会让我回味一段好长时间。

不管是年幼的儿童舞师，或在旁带领舞狮的工作人员，个个都挺健壮，这点也让我印象深刻。此外，我也要特别感谢把舞狮带到各个角落的年轻队员，让在不同位置的观众都可以近距离看到舞狮。希望你们在未来会有更多的成功演出。

In addition, the orchestra also performed in several CNY celebrations, such as Gloucester Park, nursing homes and shopping centres. It was a privilege to have the opportunity to bring Chinese music and introduce traditional musical instruments to the local community. With intensive training and practice, the musicians performed their best in these shows and their efforts were highly appreciated.

华舞蹈团一直以来都有排练多种古典和现代舞蹈。我们的舞曲种类繁多，一般都带有中华传统文化曲风。今年，我们选用了多个较受欢迎的舞蹈在珀斯数个新春活动演出。几乎春节期间每个周末，我们的舞蹈组都在河南河北的社区活动，呈献红巾舞、彩带舞、彝族舞和好几种扇子舞。

虽说每个活动都不一样，不过每场演出都迎来热烈的喝彩。这些演出，包括在购物中心的顶楼车场、公园里的青葱草地、阳光下的印度洋为背景的场地。我们身上的漂亮衣裳和唯美的舞姿，吸引了观众的目光，尤其是孩童更觉得有趣。

这些演出当中，中华新春文化节上的演出无疑是最瞩目的。我们给现场歌手伴舞，呈献彩带舞、现代扇子舞，还有由舞蹈家朱敏博士编出的新版古典扇子舞，采用末代皇帝电影原声为舞曲。另一项亮点，就是 Coogee区音乐节的演出，配合土著音乐家充满风土文化色彩的原野舞蹈。

hung Wah Dance practices the many forms of Chinese classical and contemporary dance. Our repertoire is varied and represents our rich Chinese cultural heritage. This year we performed a selection of our favourite and popular dances across Perth. Almost every weekend the red handkerchief dance, ribbon dance, Yi dance and an array of fan dances were performed in community events both north and south of the river. Although each event was different the appreciation for our dancing was the same. We performed on rooftops of shopping malls, on lawns in local parks, with the setting sun and Indian Ocean as our backdrop and more. Our delightful

costumes and beautiful dances wowed our audiences especially the children for whom having our pink ribbons fly over their heads was a lot of fun.

A highlight performance was undoubtedly the Chinese New Year Fair in Northbridge. Our group performed a variation of our ribbon dance to accompany live singers, a contemporary fan dance as well as a new classical Chinese fan dance choreographed by Dr. Min Zhu to the motion soundtrack of the Last Emperor. Another highlight was the Coogee Live Festival where we collaborated with a local Aboriginal artist on the dance of the kangaroo to the calls of a kookaburra and dingo from his didgeridoo.

Chung Wah Association Women’s subcommittee performs at Osboine Contemporary Aged Care Nursing Home.

n 28 February 2018, during the Chinese New Year festive period, the Chung Wah Association Women’s subcommittee chairperson, Ms Jiping Zhou, led about 20 of her members to visit the Osboine Contemporary Aged Care Nursing Home. They performed in front of the residents, with the hope of bringing care, warmth and a Chinese New Year festive atmosphere to them through multicultural exchange. Ms. Zhou hosted the proceedings. She introduced Chinese New Year customs to the nursing home residents and staff, followed by a light-hearted audience interaction discussing the 12 Chinese zodiac animals.

The performance lasted for just over an hour. The senior citizens were mesmerised and rewarded the performers with loud applause. One of the residents said, “Thank you very much for your performance and thanks for bringing such fantastic Chinese culture and art!”

Seeing the heartfelt joy on the senior citizens faces made their efforts all the more worthwhile. If everyone contributes a little bit of love, this world will become a much better place...

The Puppet-Show Man – Yeung Fai 文／译◎Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

ombining traditional puppetry skills with modern multimedia effects, Hand Stories is a madcap masterpiece of puppetry from Perth Festival 2018 Artist-in-Residence, Yeung Fai. The Chung Wah Association proudly invited the fifth-generation master of traditional Chinese glove puppet theatre, Yeung Fai, who presented the Chinese ancient art form to approximately fifty community members at the Chung Wah Association hall on 28 February 2018.

The puppet theatre show told the deeply moving and often amusing tale of Yeung’s family of famous puppeteers, who fell foul of the Cultural Revolution. With phenomenal skill and imagination, he manipulated exquisite hand-crafted figures that came to life to share a tragic family story that is bizarre, beautiful and inextricably bound with the fascinating history of 20th century China.

中式木偶戏大师-杨辉

合传统木偶戏技术及多媒体效果，2018年珀斯国际艺术文化节特别安排了中式布袋木偶戏大师-杨辉，呈献他多年的杰作。 2月28日，中华会馆有幸邀请到福建闽南布袋木偶戏世家的第五代传人杨辉老师，在中华会馆大楼给近五十名社区人士带来他的经典木偶戏《矛盾对打》。

这木偶戏的故事扣人心弦之余，杨辉以幽默的方式带出其家族从辉煌岁月走入文化大革命后的没落。杨大师运用他的巧妙技术配合想象，把精美的布袋木偶的一举一动，诠释地淋漓尽致，带出那发生在二十世纪中国的那充满传奇、凄美的家庭悲剧。

出生于1964年的杨辉，把这中国传统文化艺术的布袋木偶戏广传到西方国家。来自著名木偶艺术家族的第五代传人，四岁就开始接受培训。命运弄人，因被流放海外，最终居留在法国巴黎，这个地方让他开始传承这门布袋木偶戏艺术，将这古代艺术重新点燃起来。首次来到珀斯的新春活动演出，杨辉大师非常喜欢这个时节的温热天气，同时也感受到华人社区的热情和厚爱。

Yeung Fai brings to the West the magnificent Chinese tradition of glove puppetry. Born in China in 1964, he is the fifth generation in a family of famed puppeteers and started training at the age of four. Yeung was exiled as a refugee, and now lives in Paris, the base from which he creates and tours work all around the world, keeping the ancient art form alive. Being the first time presenting in Perth during Chinese New Year, Fai enjoyed the warm weather at this time of the year. He was also thankful to the hospitality and warm welcome from the local Chinese community.

哪是珀斯！文◎Kok Foo Chang 郑国扶译◎Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

多年以前，在接获马来西亚教育局通知保送到珀斯时，我对珀斯这个地方完全陌生，更没想到会在这里落地生根。

当年我在三打根华文小学毕业后，就转入英语系的中学。凭藉当时英国殖民地的英校毕业证书，可在当地政府部门或外国企业从事初级行政工作，而我却选择了继续升学。

最后完成中五课程之时，政府给我一个机会到珀斯上预科，进而到西澳大学上工程系课程。我马上在地图上找寻珀斯所在处--一个孤独的城市，与所有的主要城市有一段距离。 1962年2月22日晚，我乘搭飞机来到珀斯。同一天晚上，也就是美国太空人John

Where was Perth!

I had no idea where Perth was before I was advised by the Education Department in Malaysia to come – absolutely no inkling that I would settle to live here.

After first finishing the Chinese primary school in Sandakan, I moved to an English school. An English School Leaving Certificate in those days of the British Colony, could mean a junior clerical job in a government department, or a western trading firm. Instead, I was picked to go for a Higher School Certificate (known as Form VI). Towards the end of this course, an opportunity arrived. I was offered to do matriculation, progressing to an engineering course at UWA in Perth. Obviously, I found Perth on a map book – isolated and far from other major cities.

I flew to Perth on the night of 22 February 1962 – the same night when the American astronaut Colonel John Glenn made his historical flight orbiting round the earth in a tiny capsule.

Glenn上校驾驶微型太空船成功环绕地球一圈的历史性一刻。那个年代的珀斯就如同一个小区，而不像一座城市，所谓的城市设施都相当简陋。

1968年年底，我大学毕业、结婚，也开始在Fremantle 码头管辖机构工作。1970 年年底，我带着妻子和两个儿子一个女儿回到三打根定居，三个孩子还在当地华文小学毕业。由于当年马来西亚的英语中学都改为马来语系，孩子只能到新加坡上英校。我们夫妻倆也意识到孩子最终只能在马来西亚以外的国家上大学。 1989年，我们的选择就是举家回流到珀斯。毕竟在这之前，我在珀斯曾居住九年，有一定的人脉关系、朋友圈。相比于其他澳大利亚城市悉尼墨尔本，珀斯最靠近马 Perth, in those days, was more of a suburban town than a city. Its infrastructure was crude. By the end of 1968, I graduated, got married and worked with the Fremantle Port Authority.

I returned to Sandakan with my wife at the end of 1970. We raised three children, a daughter and two sons. They finished the Chinese primary school in Sandakan. They had to complete their SLC in Singapore because the English schools in Malaysia had then been converted to Malay-medium. Consciously, and seriously, we realised that they would eventually have to pursue their tertiary education outside Malaysia.

Logically, the choice was simple – the whole family came to Perth in 1989. I had lived here for nine years previously – already familiar with it, had friends and connections here. Perth is closer,

来西亚，而且珀斯更宁静，犯罪率更低。

对我而言，在珀斯安居乐业似乎问题不大，就如同回到原来的生活。对孩子来说，却是新挑战。值得安慰的是他们都以辉煌的成绩高中毕业，并都顺理成章在西澳大学上本科。整体上，他们在适应和融合的过程中没有太大的问题，毕竟马来西亚和澳大利亚的共同点都是多元种族和多元文化。至于我，也做过税务代理和三年兼职当口译员的工作，也曾在移民局当过行政助理。1996年，我在一个司法单位就职华人联络员兼行政助理的工作。目前的我在珀斯过着既自在又充实的生活。由一个鲜为人知的珀斯到现在成为一座现代科技发达的城市，无疑是一个漫长的过程。

more tranquil than Sydney or Melbourne where incidences of crime are greater.

Settling in Perth was no big problem – it was like ‘coming back’ to live. To the children, it was a new challenge. They finished Year 12 with good grades and acquired their Bachelor’s Degree at UWA as scheduled. Overall, they had no major issues in adjusting and integrating – it was like from one multi-racial, multi-cultural society Malaysia to another - Australia.

As for myself, I found work as a tax-agent and as an interpreter, both part-time, for about three years. Then I became an administrative assistant with the Department of Immigration. In 1996, I gained a permanent position with a lawenforcement body as its Chinese Liaison Officer cum Administrative Assistant. Here I am, living leisurely in Perth, and rather contented. It was a long journey from not knowing where Perth was to this day of sophisticated modern city.

受恩深处是为家

文◎Diana Huang 张亦娟译◎Helene Fung 冯恺盈

为了孩子能在一个均衡教育、无忧无虑的环境下正常成长,我和先生毅然放弃了台北的亲人、好友、美食、高收入、高享受的生活,带著尚在襁褓中的女儿来到珀斯。

初来乍到,珀斯的蓝天白云,新鲜空气, 平静如镜的天鹅河,洁白如雪的沙滩,宁静安详的珀斯市区,彬彬有礼的民众,轻声细语的公众场合,彼此礼让的路上行车,遵守交通规则的行人,绿草如茵街树林立的住家,热情友好的邻居,完美的医疗服务…等等,都让我们

深深爱上了这个世界上最孤立的城市。

因著喜爱这种宁静,及这种人与人之间互相尊重的生活方式,我们也能很快地适应下来。我们尽情地享受在台北无法得到的莳花种菜的田园乐趣,或是夫妻同时照顾孩子的家庭情趣, 同时自己也不断参加一些社区或图书馆举办的休閒课程、慈善或政治活动,以期更多的认识澳洲文化。当孩子长大上了学後,我就一直在学校当义工,一方面可以和老师及别的家长有互动,来了解真正澳

Home is where the Heart is My husband and I gave up our friends, family, gourmet cuisine, high income and the superior quality of life in Taipei, and brought our baby daughter to Perth, so that she can grow up in a carefree environment and receive a balanced education.

When we first arrived in Perth, the blue sky, white clouds, fresh air, the calm, mirror-like surface of the Swan River, white sandy beaches, the serene Perth city, well-mannered residents, drivers and pedestrians, tree-lined terraces, friendly neighbours and professional medical services, etc, all made us fall in love with this, the most isolated city in the world.

Because we loved this peace and quietness, and also the way of life whereby everyone respects each other, we adapted to the new life very quickly. We enjoy immensely many activities that would’ve been impossible in Taipei: planting our own flowers and vegetables in the garden; family time with both of us able to look after our kids at the same time; and also joining community leisure classes, charity or political activities, so that I could get to know more about Australian culture. After my child started school, I also started volunteering at the school. Firstly, this allowed me to interact more with teachers and other parents, so I could understand the Australian way of life more, and

洲人的生活习俗,二方面也对澳洲的教育有较深入的认识。十年前我开始在中华会馆当义工英文老师,顺便把我对澳洲的认识,介绍给新来的移民,让我的移民生活更加丰富。

『受恩深处是为家』,因不忘初衷,我每天都能以感恩的心来生活,感恩我们能在这种完美的教育、医疗、公共设施和建设…下享受生活。这是我深爱的家,我不是过客,我也不是移民,我是这个家的一分子。

secondly, this enabled me to learn more about the Australian education system. Ten years ago, I started volunteering as an English teacher at the Chung Wah Association; apart from the language, I also taught what I knew about Australia to new migrants. This has immensely enriched my own life as a migrant.

“Home is where the heart is”; because I’m always mindful of the original reason for migrating here; every day I can live with gratitude. I am grateful that I can enjoy life and enjoy such high quality education, medical and other public facilities and infrastructure. This is the home that I love. I’m not just a traveller passing by; nor am I just a migrant. I am a part of this family.

Mother’s Day Special 母亲节特稿

Mothers deserve a Special Day 妈妈，辛苦了文◎Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

The second Sunday in May, is a day that we can express our love loudly to her, our mother. And while it certainly isn’t enough to appreciate her just one day out of the year, Mother’s Day is a good start.

每个五月份第二个星期天，是我们大声对她---妈妈说爱您的一天。当然对母亲表示感激并不应该仅限于一年就这么一天，庆祝母亲节却是一个好开始。 eing a mum is a journey that can bring great joy, pride and happiness as well as worries and challenges. Every stage of motherhood has its joy and its trouble. For a mother with young children, it is a physical and mentally demanding role. As children prepare to advance in school or enter college for the first time, parents are confronted with the reality of the child growing up. The parent is suddenly faced with letting go of a parental attachment held from birth. Motherhood is such a funny thing. Similar to life, it seems like it goes so fast and so slow all at the same time.

了母亲以后，就如同踏上了一个充满欢乐、骄傲、幸福的路途，同时还要经历情绪的起伏、担忧和重重的挑战。不同阶段的妈妈，都会面对不同的喜悦和难题。带着年幼孩童的妈妈，难免在体力和精神上都较为辛苦。当孩子都到了上中小学的年纪，父母要开始接受孩子已经成长独立的事实，忽然之间，似乎又舍不得要放开曾经还抱在手上的孩子。作为母亲就是一个那么莫名其妙的过程。就像生命一样，过得很快似乎又很慢的感觉。 Here, three mothers in 30s, 40s and 50s respectively sharing their motherhood journey that may inspire you.

这期有分别年龄在30、40、50之间的妈妈分享作为母亲的心路历程，或许会对您有所启发。

I was a pampered girl who hardly did housework before I had children. As a mother of three children, there is no housework that I can’t do now. I felt helpless when I was a new mother and easily frustrated when my child became grumpy. It’s now just a piece of cake; my patience and confidence in handling children have come to a level that is beyond my imagination.

曾经的我也是十指不沾阳春水的姑娘，如今早已被磨练成无所不能的三个孩子的妈。初为人母时的不知所措和面对孩子有理讲不清时的心烦意乱，现在对我来说都是云淡风轻的事。这九年，已经练就了超常的耐心和自信心。在一个无理取闹的孩子面前，做到心平气和不发脾气，对我来说也不再是难事。

Activities with children 亲子活动

I treasure every moment spent with my children. I like to bring them out for a variety of community activities. I feel happiness by just watching them run around under the sun. At home, I encourage them to choose a book for me to read to them. It is such a warm feeling having three children lying on different parts of me, listening to me reading the stories.

I always think that parents grow together with our children instead of us just raising them. I find that I have grown up so much mentally as a parent, compared to all the years I spent in studying and working. I believe there is no job in this world can that can substitute spending time with my children, growing up day by day, therefore I have never regretted giving up my career when I started motherhood. Now that my youngest child has started school, it is time that I return to the workforce. My greatest joy of the day is receiving a big cuddle from my three children when I return home from work. 有时候我在想，不是父母养育孩子，而是和孩子一起长大，像重新活了一遍一样, 内心的成长，好似胜过读书和工作那些年。从未后悔过当年为了孩子放弃工作，世界上没有任何工作可以取代看着自己的孩子一天天成长。辛苦是自然的，但收获的快乐远远大于所付出的。现在连最小的孩子也已经入学，自己也重新回到了工作岗位。每天最大的享受，便是回到家打开门的那一刻，三个孩子冲过来给我的拥抱。

I began to nag! I never thought I would nag like those mums in typical Chinese dramas. I have become one. I have become more organised and efficient, and my ability to multi-task has improved a lot in the last three years. 当了妈妈我开始变得很啰嗦，我从未想过自己会变得像中文连续剧里唠唠叨叨的母亲一样。不过，我觉得自己当了母亲这三年，快速地提高了我一心多用的能力，办事效率更高更利索了。

My favourite activities with my children are bedtime and family bath time. We play and laugh every night before bedtime.

我最爱给孩子阅读睡前故事和一起洗澡，还有每个晚上睡前的一起玩大声笑的欢乐时光。

My biggest gains are having two extra “beings”in my life, white hair, eye bags and a flabby tummy. They (my children) seem to appear out of nowhere, suck the energy and nutrients out of me and yet, I enjoy every bit of motherhood without a doubt. They are the most beautiful and precious gifts in my life and I cannot imagine a life without them. I feel I have lost the role of a wife and my ‘me’ time because life is almost all about the children and their physical and emotional needs before anything else.

最大的收获就是生命中多了两个“人” ，其他当了母亲身上多加的还有白发、眼袋和松弛的肚腩。这两个“人”就这样来到这世上，吸尽我的能量和营养，然而我还是享受当妈妈们的这个过程。他们是我生命中最漂亮珍贵的礼物，我无法想象没有他们的日子会是怎样。同时，我发现失去了当好“妻子”的角色和属于自己的时间，因为我的生命似乎全是孩子，她们身体和情绪的需要比任何事重要。

我是一个乐观随性的人，没想到生了第一个孩子后，却患有轻微的产后抑郁。当时，产后几个月总是感到焦虑，没有食欲，幸亏有丈夫和家人的支持，加上家佣的帮助下，让我慢慢走出阴霾。

Activities with children 亲子活动

Raised in an expatriate family, my three children lived in a few countries during their childhood. I enjoyed bringing my children for outings to the zoo and night safari, parks and swimming. At home, I enjoyed reading and telling stories to them before bedtime and teaching them to speak Thai. It was such a great opportunity to immerse my kids into the new culture in every new country they lived in, through music, arts, dance and sport. I remember my daughter was a finalist in a children’s ballet competition in Shanghai when she was nine years old. These are all the fantastic memories for the children and me.

家中的三个孩子出生于外派家庭，因此他们的童年在几个不同的国家度过。当年，我很喜欢带孩子去动物园、夜间野生动物园、公园、泳池。在家，总会给他们阅读，讲睡前故事，并教他们讲泰语。对孩子来说，多给他们在不同国家接触各种新文化是一个非常不错的体验，尤其是通过音乐、艺术、舞蹈和运动。我记得女儿九岁时曾在上海的芭蕾舞比赛进入决赛，这都是自己和孩子的美好回忆。

My three children have redirected me to discover much more about myself. While I had to discontinue my advertising business in Singapore after our move, I had come to realise that there was more meaningful work out there beyond my career. My eldest boy, who had challenges in learning in mainstream school, brought me a new career as a child development coordinator for Friends of Hope Shanghai. It might be a loss leaving behind my previous advertising and design career, but I gained so much from the importance of community services which brought me to volunteering with Chung Wah when we migrated to Perth.

我的三个孩子让我有机会重新去发掘自己。因为搬迁的原因，我结束了在新加坡的广告生意，当了妈妈，我渐渐发现到其实还有很多比所谓的事业更有意义的工作。由于我的长子天生的缺陷使他无法跟一般孩子一起学习，因此让我接触到“希望之友”机构当儿童发展协调员的工作。或许我失去了多年所建立的广告设计事业，也因为这样我才有时间了解到更多社区服务及其重要性。也许如此，当我来到珀斯不久后就加入中华当志愿者。

Best Mother’s Day Gift 最佳母亲节礼物

As a mum, most will agree with me that we hardly think or wish for a ‘gift’ for ourselves. Each hour when we are awake, we hope the children will be safe and happy, and progress well in life. Now that the three children are living in different cities, probably my best Mother’s Day gift is to have all of them gather together and spend the day with me.

我想许多妈妈都会同意我的看法，作为妈妈，我们都不会想着自己要什么礼物。每天基本上就是盼着孩子的生活平安快乐。随着目前三个孩子分别住在不同的城市，或许最好的母亲节礼物就是可以让所有的孩子聚在一起陪我度过这一天。

How to Raise Bilingual Children in Western Australia?

aising bilingual children is a big commitment that requires some careful planning and consistent effort. The myths for raising bilingual children are now clearly debunked by recent research evidence. Research shows that learning and using more than one language strengthens our problem solving and analytical skills, and promotes creativity, cognitive flexibility and logical reasoning. Bilingualism also allows children to communicate with members of extended families. This helps to build stronger family relationships and cultural bonds. We also know that raising children in a bilingual environment would NOT confuse the child nor delay their language development in either language. In fact, it actually helps them to learn the second language, English, more easily and perform better at school if they have a solid foundation of their native language. Young children are good at understanding the difference between languages and know that they need to switch and speak Mandarin to grandma and English to the teacher. Here are some tips and tricks that may help to raise bilingual children and keep our native language (with Mandarin in mind): Decide on your model: you may consider adopting either a “one parent, one language model” or “minority language pattern model” and stick to it consistently.

The first model has one parent speaking Mandarin consistently while another parent speaks English rather than swapping between languages. This allows the child to grow up being able to speak both languages fluently with a broad vocabulary. The latter model means both parents speak the same native language, Mandarin, at home with their children. Children hear, speak and use Mandarin a lot at home. Children then learn English with their friends and teachers at school or in the community. Make it interesting: children learn best when they are genuinely interested.

Read and tell stories in Mandarin. Do pretend-play and dress-ups in Mandarin. Be creative! Music, songs and dance are another great way of introducing Mandarin to children. They remember

| Chung Wah Quaterly Bilingual Magaizne Autumn Issue

the words better with melody. How about games in Mandarin? You may do I-spy or bingo in Mandarin. Some libraries may also have CDs, DVDs, picture books and magazines in Mandarin. Tap into their interests (e.g. sports, cooking, music) and incorporate Mandarin into daily routines. For example, you may listen to radio programs in Mandarin at home or cook their favourite dish together using a Mandarin recipe. Create lots of opportunities and exposure: children need opportunities to practise and see others using the language.

Look for playgroups, schools, child care centres, bilingual programs or community centres (e.g. churches, temples) that support your child’s use of Mandarin. Child care centres may employ bilingual workers to support your children’s native language. You may also organise play dates with other children who speak Mandarin. It helps to create a ‘reason’ and a ‘need’ for them to speak Mandarin. If you don’t use it, you will lose it. So, it’s important to create different opportunities for your children to hear and speak Mandarin. Attend cultural activities that you and your family can do together to celebrate cultural diversity and identity.

The WA Chung Wah Association organises various Chinese New Year events and other cultural events that celebrate Chinese culture and heritage. Across Australia, many events are organised to celebrate Harmony Day in March every year. Giving your children the opportunity to understand and appreciate cultural heritage also helps them to feel proud of their culture and celebrate the fact that they can speak two languages.

Encouragement and support: as children go to school and start speaking English more often, they may refuse to speak Mandarin.

Be patient and help your children to resist peer pressure of solely speaking English. Explain the benefits of bilingualism to your children. Continue to have fun and engage in one-on-one conversations or activities with your children. Give positive praise when they are speaking good sentences, “I’m so proud of you for speaking Mandarin. It means that when we visit grandma, you get to speak to her!” “The more we practise, our Mandarin and English will be equally as fluent!” Consistency: stick to the choice that you’ve made to raise bilingual children and keep it consistent.

Sometimes it may feel like your child does not want to speak Mandarin. Do not give up. Talk to other parents and find support for yourself. Keep conversing in Mandarin in complete sentences as this means that they can continue to hear and understand the language. Keep it as a positive experience instead of punishing or scolding them for speaking English. Otherwise, being bilingual would be an aversive experience for them. Prioritise maintaining a secure and healthy parent-child relationship using emotioncoaching strategies instead of forcing children to speak Mandarin. A resilient and confident child is more likely to resist peer pressure. This will provide a solid foundation for children to willingly learn both languages in a happy environment.

育说双语儿童是一个很大的坚持。这需要妥善的计划和持续地付出。近期的研究已把过去对双语教育的迷思给破除了。研究发现学习和使用多过一种语言能够加强我们解决问题的能力与分析能力、促进创意、认知灵活性和逻辑思考能力。学习双语也能让孩子与上一代家人互动沟通，这也帮助建立更加亲密的家庭关系和文化结合。我们也知道让孩子在双语环境下成长，并不会令孩子混淆，更不会耽误他们对两种语言的发展。实际上，它可以帮助孩子学习第二语言 – 英语，并且在学校表现得更好。其实，年幼的孩子也很早就会善于分辨两种语言，他们知道在跟奶奶说话时需要转换成中文；跟老师说话时则转换成英文。

即使清楚同时学习双语的好处，但在西澳培养能说流利英语和华语的双语儿童的确不容易。有些人可能会感到压力，为符合主流文化，而放弃华语。以下是一些提示，可能有助于培养双语儿童并保持说母语（以华语为主）：决定你的模式：你可以考虑采用“一家长一体语言模式”或“少数民族语言模式”并坚持不懈。

第一种模式是有一位家长坚持说华语，而另一位家长说英语，而不是在对话间，替换语言。这可以让孩子能够用广泛的词汇，流利地说两种语言。第二种模式, 则是父母双方都会在家里与孩子说华语。孩子们在家

里以华语对话，随后在学校或社区，与他们的朋友和老师们以英语交流。让它变得有趣：当孩子真正感兴趣时，他们才会学得最好。

用华语阅读和讲故事。用中文玩假装游戏和装扮。发挥你的创意！音乐，歌曲和舞蹈是向孩子介绍华语的另一种方式。他们用旋律会更好的记住单词。你可以用华语玩“ 我的小眼睛”或“宾果游戏”。一些图书馆可能还会有中文的CD，DVD，绘本和杂志。切入他们的兴趣（例如运动，烹饪，音乐）并将中文融入日常生活中。比如：可以在家中收听中文广播节目，或者使用中文菜谱一起烹制他们最喜爱的菜肴。创造大量的机会：孩子们不仅仅是在家里和父母使用华语沟通，更需要机会和他人接触来练习华语。

找些支持使用中文的游戏小组、学校、托儿所、双语课程或社区中心（例如教堂，寺庙）。有的托儿所会雇用双语工作者来支持你孩子的母语。您也可以多让孩子与其他

耐心地帮助孩子对抗纯粹讲英语的同伴压力。解释双语对你的孩子的好处。继续以玩乐有趣的方式，和孩子进行一对一的对话或活动。当他们使用完整句子时，给予肯定与赞美:“ 我真为你说中文感到骄傲。”这意味着当我们拜访奶奶时，你就可以跟她聊天了！我们练习得越多，我们的华语和英语就会一样流利哦！一致性：坚持你想培育双语儿童的选择而保持一致。

有时候可能会觉得你的孩子不想说华语了。不要放弃。试试和其他父母交谈，给自己打气。继续用华语对话，这意味着他们可以继续听到并理解语言。尽量让孩子有个良好的经验，而不是在他们讲英语时，惩罚或责骂他们。否则说双语将变成一种令孩子感到厌恶的经验。着重于维护健康且有安全感的亲子关系，好好利用情绪辅导策略来支持孩子，而不是一昧的强迫孩子说华语。一个有韧性和有自信的孩子更有可能抵制同伴压力，为自己能说中文感到自豪。有了坚定的基础，孩子才能在愉快的环境中，自愿学习双语。

Experience Sharing 经验分享译◎Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

I believe the biggest issue in education for Chinese parents in a Western country is learning the Chinese language. Basically, families with either parent from a Chinese background wishes that their children can speak the Chinese language or even a Chinese dialect. But how do we make bilingual education work? I make this conclusion based on my personal experience of raising two bilingual daughters. Firstly, create a strong Chinese educational environment at home, pick a few meaningful and educational Chinese cartoons for the children to watch. This is for them to learn basic conversation through a leisure activity. Secondly, commit to speaking Chinese at home. In general, children may prefer to speak English as they grow up in Australia it is easier for them. In fact, this is a crucial moment for retaining the Chinese language. Thirdly, actively involve your children in the Chinese school learning program and activities. A structured systematic learning program can form a good foundation for learning a language. Also, participation in school activities can give them more opportunities to use the language.

Overall, I think making learning the language interesting and creating a strong Chinese environment to support the learning process make a huge difference. In addition, continuously encouraging and supporting them in writing, reading and listening to the language.

居住在西方国家的中国父母面对最大的教育问题恐怕是中文教学了，基本在国外有一方说中文的家庭都希望小孩能说中文，甚至自己家乡的方言。那如何进行双语教育呢？

我以自己教育两个双语的女儿，总结了几点：第一，在家坚持中文教育或营造中文环境，可以选几套有意义的中文动画，让小朋友从兴趣中学到一些基本口语；第二，坚持中文对话，在家里说中文，在学校说英文，随着年龄增加，小朋友相对更喜欢英文，因为比较简单，这时就要多鼓励小朋友坚持说中文，不要放弃；第三，参加中文学校学习和活动，系统的学习可以打下良好的语言基础，多参加不同活动可以提高中文的使用程度。总之，学习语言还是要以兴趣为主，环境为辅，鼓励和支持小朋友多说，多写，多读，多听！

I have three children. I purposely exposed them to both Chinese and English languages from when they were very young. We speak both languages to each other daily. I use interesting songs, stories and vocabulary learning games to nurture my children in bilingual learning. We feel proud being able to continue learning Chinese in Perth through the Chinese school here. Although the children start using English more often, as parents, we will try to instil to them the importance of knowing both Chinese and English. In addition, encourage them to learn other languages to prepare for the era of globalisation. 我有三个孩子。从小就开始给他们接触中英双语。平时以两语沟通。透过有趣的歌曲，故事和认字游戏的教育方式来培养孩子们对学习双语的兴趣。孩子们来到珀斯还能继续到中文学校学习中文是一件值得骄傲的事情。虽然两语之间，他们开始常用英语了，身为家长的我还会坚持孩子们学好两语。此外还会继续鼓励孩子学习更多的语言以预备全球化的时代。

I came from Malaysia. My daughter, Alison, was turning one year old when we migrated to Western Australia. Not long after our arrival, we regularly sent her to a child care centre . Since then, English has become her first language and gradually she spoke only English. I discovered that she totally could not understand Mandarin when she was in Year One. I started sending her to Chinese school every Saturday when she turned nine years old. Unfortunately, she had no interest at all and always found excuses to escape from the Chinese lessons. After one year, we found she had no improvement in the language. I was determined to only speak Mandarin to her at home, explaining to her that whenever she couldn’t understand my conversation, I would guide her to reply to me in Mandarin. No doubt, there were numerous unhappy moments during this process, but we are happy that we had gone through it. We started to watch Chinese drama, talked about Chinese culture and travelled to China a few times. I didn’t respond to her whenever she spoke to me in English. For four years, I hired a Chinese language home tutor to teach her on a one-on-one basis, from Year One level onwards. Now, Alison is doing her Year Seven Chinese lesson, and she communicates with me in Mandarin at home everyday. I feel so grateful to see her being able to speak Mandarin fluently in daily conversation. In conclusion, it is never too late to learn a language. It is most important to havedetermination to achieve it effectively.

我来自马来西亚。移民来西澳大利亚时，我女儿宋传恩才一岁。不久后就把她送到幼儿园照顾，自此我女儿就开始以英语沟通，不知不觉我女儿在家就开始完全说英语了。传恩一年级时候, 我发现她完全听不懂中文了。直到她九岁我才开始每周六送她到中文学校学习华语,可是她完全不感兴趣，总是找各种理由缺课。过了一年, 传恩的华语学习完全没有进展。我决定完全在家用中文与她对话，她听不懂就解释给她，慢慢帮助她用中文回答我。虽然这当中发生了不少不愉快的情况，但我们还是坚持下来了。我们开始一起观看中文古装电影，聊中国文化，一起去中国旅行。每次她用英语回应我时，就坚持不回答，直到她试着用中文作答。后来，我也专门找来一位家教每周一对一辅导中文从小学一年级的课程开始，学了四年进展不错。现在传恩已经学习到七年级的中文课，每天在家都与我以中文对话。看到女儿能用华语畅所欲言，深深觉得这六年的痛苦总算没有白费。虽然孩子学习中文比较晚，可是只要下定决心还是可以成效的。

I always feel fortunate to be able to learn many languages as a Malaysian Chinese, especially the Chinese language. Therefore, I am hoping that my three-year-old daughter can learn Chinese language in Australia. We speak Mandarin with her at home and learn Chinese with her together at the Chung Wah Leeming Chinese School every Saturday. During our work days, we send her to a child care centre, learning English. At this stage, we find that our child has picked up both languages quite well; hopefully this will allow her to gain more knowledge.

身为一个马来西亚华人，我一直认为我们很庆幸能够学习多种语言，尤其是中文。所以，我也希望我能够让我三岁的女儿在澳大利亚学习中文。我们平日在家跟孩子说中文，周六会带孩子到黎明中文学校学习。在我们的工作天，我们就送孩子到幼儿园跟老师学习英文。在现阶段，孩子在这双语的环境学习获益良多。希望孩子能够掌握好这双语学习，也能让她透过这机会认识更多。

Taking Charge of D Diabetes

According to Monash University, type 2 diabetes affects up to 80 per cent of Chinese Australians over the age of 60.

iabetes – and more specifically type 2 diabetes – is often referred to as the “epidemic of the 21st century”. With one in 11 adults around the world now living with this condition, the title is more than justified.

文◎Diabetes WA 西澳糖尿病协会译◎Elvie Yap叶俐廷

In Australia, one person is diagnosed with diabetes every five minutes. Experts estimate there are 1.7 million Australians living with diabetes. Understanding the condition is especially important for people with Asian ancestry. Studies have shown that people from these backgrounds are at a much higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, when compared to those from white European backgrounds. According to Monash University, type 2 diabetes affects up to 80 per cent of

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body becomes unable to break down the glucose found in food and convert it into energy, because it either no longer produces insulin or cannot use insulin properly. Type 1 diabetes – often called juvenile diabetes – is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks the cells that produce insulin. No one knows what

Chinese Australians over the age of 60. However many of these people will be living with this condition without knowing they have it. Understanding diabetes and its seriousness is important – leaving diabetes undiagnosed or unmanaged for too long can lead to serious health complications including blindness, foot amputations and kidney failure. But the good news is that people can minimise their risk of these outcomes by making simple lifestyle changes, including exercise and healthy eating.

causes it, but we do know it has nothing to do with lifestyle.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition where the body gradually becomes resistant to insulin or no longer produces enough insulin. While there are a number of uncontrollable risk factors such as age and ethnicity, type 2 diabetes is also associated with lifestyle factors – such as diet, exercise and weight.

CHUNG WAH BILINGUAL QUARTERLY MAGAZINE

What is my risk?

Experts are still debating why people with Asian ancestry are at higher risk, but what they all agree on is that people with Asian ancestry are more likely to develop this condition at a younger age and at a lower weight. Having an Asian ancestry is just one of a number of risk factors that can contribute to type 2 diabetes.

Some risk factors – such as your age and having a family history of diabetes – cannot be changed. Other risk factors, such as being overweight, smoking and having a poor diet, can be changed.

Knowing your risk is the first step in preventing or delaying a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. To calculate your risk, visit https://diabeteswa.com.au/prevention/ or ask a health professional to help you complete the Australian Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment Tool. If you score highly, you should follow up with your doctor.

Could I have already have it?

People with type 1 diabetes rely on daily insulin injections to remain alive. It is very unlikely you could have type 1 diabetes and not know it.

Type 2 diabetes typically develops over a long period. In the early stages of the condition there are often no obvious symptoms. As type 2 diabetes is commonly (but not always) diagnosed at a later age, sometimes the signs are dismissed as part of “getting older”. In some cases the condition is not diagnosed until the person develops a complication, such as a foot ulcer. It is for this reason one of the themes for this year’s National Diabetes Week, coming up in July, will be around early diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Some symptoms to watch for include: • • • • • •

being excessively thirsty going to the toilet more often feeling tired always feeling hungry having cuts that heal slowly blurred vision

What should I do?

Adopting a healthy lifestyle is the most powerful way to prevent type 2 diabetes. This involves:

• maintaining a healthy weight • eating a healthy diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables • limiting the amount of fats and sugars you eat • cutting back on the amount of alcohol you drink • being physically active (half an hour of moderate exercise, five days a week) • quitting smoking.

If you have already been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, these same steps – along with monitoring blood glucose levels, taking any prescribed medications and having regular health checks – will help you to live well with this condition and minimise the risk of serious complications.

Where can I ﬁnd out more?

Diabetes WA works with the Chung Wah Association to present general information sessions on diabetes in Chinese. We also run a range of education courses that cover more specific topics such as meal planning, foot care, living with diabetes and using diabetes technology.

什么是糖尿病？

糖尿病是一种慢性疾病，患者的身体会因分泌或控制不了胰岛素，而无法分解食物中的葡萄糖，或将其化成热量。

糖尿病知多少

根据Monash大学指出，80%的超过60 岁的澳洲华人遭受乙型糖尿病的影响。

糖尿病，即乙型糖尿病，常被认为是21

世纪的盛行疾病。数据显示，目前这个世界每11人中有一人面对着糖尿病的症状。

在澳大利亚，每五分钟就有一人被诊断

患上糖尿病。专家估计现时有170万澳洲人患有糖尿病。

对于来自亚裔背景的人士更应该多加

了解糖尿病。研究表明，相比于欧裔背景人群，亚裔背景人士患上乙型糖尿病的风险高出几倍。根据Monash大学指出，80%的

超过60岁的澳洲华人遭受乙型糖尿病的影

响。然而，其中有不少患者甚至不知道自己患有糖尿病。

须知道认识糖尿病及其严重性是何其重

要。患者若长时间未被发现或诊治，可能会导致严重的併发症例如失明、足部截肢、肾衰竭。希望在人间，患者可以透过调整生活习惯来减低併发症的风险，比如多锻炼和健康饮食。

一型糖尿病，或先天性糖尿病，是身体的一种自身免疫出状况，分泌胰岛素的细胞不断受攻击。至今仍找不到原因所在，糖尿病协会只了解到这种情况与生活习惯无关。乙型糖尿病则是一种慢性疾病，患者身体渐进式地抵抗胰岛素或无法分泌足够的胰岛素。主因除了几个固定风险元素如年龄和种族之外，乙型糖尿病与生活方式息息相关---例如：饮食、锻炼和体重。

我的糖尿风险？

专家仍然在争论着为何亚裔人士是糖尿病高风险人群，但专家一致认同亚裔人士比其他族群容易在年龄或体重较轻时患上糖尿病。

然而，天生是亚裔只是其中多项乙型糖尿病高风险因素之一，其他固定因素还包括年龄、家庭糖尿病病史。当然还有一些后天的因素，比如体重过重、抽烟、不良饮食习惯。

了解糖尿病的风险是预防和延迟患上乙型糖尿病的第一步，您可以到西澳糖尿病协会的网站https://diabeteswa.com.au/ prevention/ 测量自己的风险，或寻求医疗人员的帮助完成澳洲乙型糖尿病风险测试表。如果结果显示风险偏高，记住要向医生咨询。

我会是糖尿病患者吗？

一型糖尿病患者须长期依赖注射胰岛素度日，因此您几乎不可能是一型糖尿病患者。

一般上，乙型糖尿病是长时间慢慢形成的。早期基本没有明显的症状。乙型糖尿病通常（但未必）在晚年被诊断，因此常常被误以为老化的情况。有的情况甚至到患者出现併发症，例如足部溃疡，才被发现是患者。故此今年七月份的全国糖尿病意识周的其中一个主题，就是围绕着及早诊断乙型糖尿病。有的症状值得关注的包括： • • • • • •

经常性口渴、口干舌躁经常需要上厕所疲怠常有饥饿感伤口复原慢视觉模糊

我该如何预防？

保持健康的生活习惯是预防乙型糖尿病的最佳途径，包括： • • • •

保持健康体重健康饮食，即多吃蔬菜水果限量吸取脂肪和糖粉食物多做身体锻炼（每星期五天，半小时的适量运动） • 谢绝抽烟

如果您已患有乙型糖尿病，您最好长期要量度血糖、服用药物和定期检查，以帮助您和谐地与糖尿病共存，并减低出现併发症的风险。

Evergreen College

hung Wah Community & Aged Care (CAC) Evergreen College has been running for several years, and it is now one of the most engaging and exciting programs at Chung Wah Community & Aged Care. We are proud that members of the community and local service providers are increasingly learning about CAC and its offerings through this fun and unique service model.

文／照片◎Chung Wah Community & Aged Care 中华社区及长者服务

Promoting independence and wellness, the Evergreen College offers different classes and excursions to satisfy clients’ needs, introduces them to new skills and helps them strive to achieve their goals. Currently, we host classes in physical exercise, cooking, tai chi, English and computer, at the Balcatta and Willetton hubs. For those who don’t attend our centres regularly or clients who only receive in-home support, we also want to bring Evergreen College right to your home, which is one of our working goals in 2018.

Our classes are flexibly tailored and provide choices to meet the needs of the participants. Speaking of this, it’s hard to ignore one of the highlights of this program - exercise class. This session is conducted each morning and led by CAC support workers, and it is the most popular activity among our clients and the most essential unit to keep our clients active and improve their wellbeing. Our famous “chicken dance”, where everyone moves their body to the beat of the music, and holds each other’s hand towards the end of the song with hearty laughter. The purpose of the exercise class, or in that sense, the whole idea of Evergreen College, is to encourage clients’

physical, social and mental wellness, and to meet their full capacity. Wellness comes from our motivation and desire to achieve our life goals, and from doing what makes us feel proud about ourselves.

We believe the Minister for Aged Care – the Honorable Ken Wyatt AM, MP, shared the same feeling during his visit to the Balcatta hub on 14 March 2018. Our clients felt his kindness and were happy to talk with him, though they might not even know who he was. After the old folks gathered together and started the exercise, the minister watched them following the instructions with interest, and finally decided to join them. He held

clients’hands and did the chicken dance together with them. As we can tell, he really enjoyed the music and interacted with clients in a perfect and dynamic way.

Would you like to make new friends with people from your cultural background? Would you like to learn something new to enrich your retirement life? Or would you like to find a way to keep yourself healthy physically and mentally? If the answer is yes, CAC is the solution to all these questions. For more information, please call 08 9328 3988.

长青学院

“长青学院”项目已经推行了好几年了，如今，已经俨然成为了中华社区与长者服务最有趣最吸引人的服务项目之一。我们觉得非常骄傲，很多的社区朋友和当地的养老服务机构也开始通过这个有趣特别的服务模式逐渐认识和了解CAC以及我们提供的各类服务。为了提高长者们的自理能力和身心健康， “长青学院”提供了一系列为了满足客人们服务需求而设立的兴趣班和远足活动，帮助他们学习新技能和完成生活中的目标。我们现在在南北两个活动中心都设有晨练、烹饪班、太极班、英文班和电脑班。对于不经常参加中华中心活动的社区朋友，亦或是只有家居服务的客人来说，我们2018年的工作目标就是把“长青学院”的服务带回您家。

这些兴趣班为了满足参与者的需要，并为他们提供更多的选择，因此授课时间和内容十分灵活。说到这里，就不得不提到这个项目中的一大亮点 – 晨练。这是每天早上客人们的必修课，全部环节由CAC的照顾人员带领。它是客人中最受欢迎的项目，而且作为能帮助客人保持活力和健康的方式，这是必须的一个环节。我们最出名的“鸡仔舞”，可以让每个人都跟随着音乐的节奏舞动身体，他们每次都互相手拉手一直跳到结束，欢笑声不断。

晨练，甚至是整个“长青学院”成立之初的目的是为了鼓励长者保持身心健康。说到身心健康，它与我们希望做什么，做事情的动机，达成目标的愿望和做什么能让我们觉得自豪有关。相信对于这种感觉，3月14日参观了 CAC北部中心的专门负责养老服务的Ken Wyatt部长最感同身受。我们客人虽然不识眼前人，但是却感受到了来自部长的友善，并十分乐意与其交流。在长者们聚集在一起快乐地做运动之后，部长带着强烈的兴趣观察着老人们的动作，并决定亲身加入。他与我们的老人家手拉手，并一起跳了鸡仔舞。如我们所见，他非常喜欢鸡仔舞的旋律，并且将舞蹈和与老人们的互动完美结合在了一起。

您想不想同来自相同文化背景的人们交朋友？您想不想学习新知识来丰富您的退休生活？或者您是不是想要找到一种可以保持身心健康的方法？如果您的答案是肯定的，那中华社区与长者服务便是您的不二选择。更多信息，请致电08 9328 3988。

中医养生精华特点

我从事中医临床35 年，来寻求中医治疗的大部分都是慢性疾病，尤其以哮喘，月经不调，不孕为多见，疗效都比较好。大部分来看中医的都是在多年西药治疗不见明显疗效的情况下来看中医。还有些人是对中医知识不太了解，抱着试试看的态度来就诊。其实中医是一门很精深的经验医学宝库，治病求本，未病养生，因人而异的治疗原则，是独特有效的。当然也需要患者有耐心坚持配合完成一个疗程，而不是看一两次就停止了。一、中医养生理论体系以阴阳平衡为基础。

通俗来说，中医养生的核心要点是要补充不足的，清除多余的，保持人体的阴阳平衡。即“虚则补之，实则泻之，热则寒之，寒则热之”等等，过多过少都不好。这是中医最基本的传统养生原则。二、中医养生以“辨证施治”为原则

即针对每一个人的体质、年龄、性别、家族史等的个体差异，会用不同的方药、食疗等方法。也就是说不同的人用不同的方药和食材，不能一视同仁都用一种方子来煲汤养生。别人服用好，对自己不一定就好，甚至有害。中医讲究因人而异，比如：人参大补，但有些人一吃就头痛、腹胀、甚至出鼻血等症状。三、中医以“不治已病治未病”为重要的养生原则意思是不要等到病已经成了再去治病，应在未病之前，就要养生保健，使自己不得病或少得病。有病早治，无病健身，延年益寿，是目前中医养生潮流。四、中医养生注重因时因地制宜

因时因地意思是中医养生保健重视季节、地区、气候等环境不同而制定适宜的方法，比如冬天进补，春天养阳等。五、中医以经络养生为优先，确保生命运输通道畅通。

“是药三分毒”，养生不等于吃补药。疏通经络，按压穴位，保证人体生命线的畅通，才能使血气流通，才能营养器官和清除体内的废物。

r. Julia Fu is a practitioner in traditional Chinese medicine. She graduated from the Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China in 1983, and has 35 years of experience. She is an expert in treating various chronic diseases and in traditional Chinese medicine methods on anti-ageing and improving general health. Dr. Fu has given talks on traditional Chinese medicine at many community events and she has been the announcer of the“Baolin Tang voice of health”program on Mandarin radio in Western Australia for ten years.

Traditional Chinese medicine methods on improving general health In the 35 years that I have been practising traditional Chinese medicine, most of the patients I have seen came to me for treatment of chronic diseases: particularly asthma; irregular periods and difficulty in conceiving, for which traditional Chinese medicine treatments are relatively effective. Most of the patients decided to try a traditional Chinese medicine approach after years of western medication and treatment did not give them any obvious improvement. Some other patients actually did not know much about traditional Chinese medicine and decided to give it a try.

Traditional Chinese medicine is actually an advanced school of medicine based on experience. We target the root cause of diseases and encourage improvement in general health for those who are not sick. This principle of tailoring the treatment to each patient is unique and effective. 1. The traditional Chinese medicine health improvement paradigm is based on the balance of “yin” and “yang”.

Core to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine health improvement is to supplement what the body lacks and get rid of what the body doesn’t need, and maintain the balance of “yin” and “yang” in the body. 2. Health improvement is based on assessment before treatment.

This means targeting the differences between each patient’s physical condition, age, sex and family history and using different methods, such as herbal medicine and food-based treatment. In other words, using different prescriptions and food for different patients. 3. The important principle: “not treating the sick but treating the not yet sick”.

This means do not wait until you develop an illness, you should start to focus on improving your health, so that you can avoid getting sick or at least get sick less requently.

4. Emphasises timing and location suitability.

This means that traditional Chinese medicine focuses on environmental factors, such as the season, geography and climate, in order to formulate suitable approaches or treatments. For example, dietary supplementation in winter and stimulating the growth of the “yang” energy in spring. 5. Prioritises health improvement through circulation, to ensure smooth circulation of “life transportation lines”.

“All medications have a certain level of toxicity”, so improving health is not only about taking supplements. Clearing your blood vessels, applying pressure to appropriate pressure points and ensuring smooth circulation of “life transportation lines” in the body are essential for the circulation of blood and “qi” (energy) so that our organs can get the nutrients they need and detoxify waste from our body.

In Memorial 追忆先人

In Memorium of Yit Chang Lee

A loving father, husband, scholar and true gentleman 追忆先人 - 缅怀李日昌先生－伟大的父亲，丈夫和学者文◎李志鹏Ken Lee & 陈慧菱Hui Lin Tan

orn in Malaysia and educated in Malaysia and Taiwan, Dad was very much an embodiment of the Confucian virtues – benevolence, righteousness, courteousness, scholarship, integrity, loyalty, and filial piety. In his practice, our father built a close-knit family. Dad was caring and soft-spoken gentleman – often over-anxious for the welfare of his children, while also stern when we were little, guiding us unerringly towards the right path. In his professional life in Australia, Dad has helped countless others as a medical interpreter to the sick and needy. As one of the forefathers of medical interpreters for the Asian community in Perth, my dad was quite a well-recognised face here. Over the years, Dad has cultivated many friendships, with his kindness, loyalty, generosity and sincerity. Bringing up a young family in a new and unfamiliar environment was not easy, but he was reassured that these sacrifices had come to fruition when we saw how proud Dad was at our respective graduations, cheering us on with each new task we took on as adults, beaming with happiness at our weddings, turning recently to his transformation as a doting grandfather.

Dad’ s finest quality was his integrity, his punctuality, and unassuming vast grasp and knowledge of the Chinese language as a poet. He also voluntarily wrote enlightening and thoughtful articles for the local Chinese papers, offering his wisdom to guide others.

We remember him as a kind, loving, diligent, thoughtful, patient and intelligent father, who spared no efforts in caring for his family all through his life. Our father’ s legacy are the ideals instilled in us – being kind to others, live a righteous life, and contribute to the welfare of the society – ideals that we will continue to take forward in his memory. To our dad, Yit Chang Lee, we will remember you forever. A loving father, husband, scholar and true gentleman. To the world, my dad may be just one person, but to one family, he was the world.

He loves my mum and they really epitomised the notion of a lifelong partnership. A ﬁttingly heartfelt tribute from my mum to my dad:

“With 45 years and 9 months together, both of us have now become one. Your caring and thoughtfulness transcend

beyond words. I wish for us to continue this romance in our next life.”

母亲在父亲离去哀悼时说了下面的这段话： “45年9个月的春夏秋冬，已把我俩融为

一体。你的柔情体贴，一切尽在不言中。我只盼今生情缘，来世再续”

父亲出生在马来西亚。从小就勤奋向上，努力不懈，对自己的要求很高。父亲毕业于台湾政治大学中文系, 所以他一生的原则是孔子的“孝”、 “悌”、 “忠”、 “信”、 “ 礼”、 “义”、 “廉”、 “耻”，并且将这些价值观建立在“家”的中心。

父亲是位处处为他人着想的君子儒士。作为父亲他事事都为我们操心，从小对我们严厉苛刻，希望我们能踏上人生正道。在澳洲父亲是一位专业资深的通译、翻译员。从事翻译行业已久，父亲在珀斯华人圈子里也令人可敬。

父亲的善良、真诚、慷慨与诚恳，在澳洲的这些年也交了许多朋友。在一个陌生的环境养家糊口确实是很艰难的事。父母亲的牺牲换来我们今天的成就。从我们的毕业典礼，到结婚迈入人生重要旅程，到升级成为爷爷，父亲脸上所流露出骄傲和满足的目光都证实了这一切都是值得的。父亲最让人钦佩的地方是他的真诚、守时和博学。他的談吐、书写、思想和言行，就如古代诗人。父亲喜欢写作。闲暇的他最喜欢写写文章，分享他的感想和体验，然后通过当地的中文报章表达。父亲所有的优点，例如他善良的心, 人生的智慧, 對家人体贴的关怀, 對我们细心的照顾, 耐心的教悔, 我们心中永记。他用他这一生奉献于他的家人，而我们作为儿女是会永记父亲的教导－对人友善，为人正直，舍己为人。他为人的原则和教训，与我们一起的美好时光都会永远留在我们的心里。

在这世界，父亲或许只是个凡人，但在我们心中，他是我们的全世界。他对母亲的爱，世上无人可代之，也让我们了解到何为真爱！中华会馆《中华之声》双语季刊秋季版 |

最近，我们的团队把重点放在清明节（农历的第三个月份，通常在公历四月的第一个星期）。清明节是古老的中国传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日之一，是祭祖和扫墓的特别日子。中华民族传统的清明节大约始于周代，距今已有二千五百多年的历史。

Stephen Kum is the Chairperson of the dance group and grew up with a passion for the performance.

The team will be now be looking forward to recognising the Ching Ming Festival which falls in the third lunar month of the Chinese calendar, which is usually in the first week of April in the Gregorian calendar. The festival is very ancient, dating back in Chinese history around 2,500 years. The Ching Ming Festival,

Dragon Boat Festival 端午佳节

An Incredible Man –Qu Yuan

一位不可思议的伟人 —-- 屈原文◎Kok Foo Chang 郑国扶译◎Elvie Yap 叶俐廷

No different from other races and nationalities, the Chinese people have numerous festivals of their own to celebrate throughout the year. It is well understood that the Chinese have continued to follow their own traditional lunar system to mark the dates and festivals. The three major and most significant occasions such as ‘Spring Festival’, ‘Mid-Autumn Festival’ and the Winter Solstice, ‘Dongzhi’ are undoubtedly very much family orientated. Habitually, the Chinese spare no effort, energy and expense to return to their families for the festivities. One festival, however, is celebrated, by far, in a different way. It involves big masses of people, communities, guilds and associations, even religious devotees and an entire region. This grand occasion is to honour and to remember the patriotism, the integrity and the sacrifice of one early individual, statesman, diplomat, strategist and a much loved, popular poet, in ancient China. 犹如各国家的民族，每一年华人都会庆祝好几个传统节日。华人依据农历的日子来庆祝传统节日，其中包括三个以家庭为主导的重要节日，分别为春节、中秋节和冬至。一般上，每逢佳节华人都会不计劳苦地回家与家人团聚过节。相比这华人传统佳节，有一个节日无论是欢庆方式或意义上却截然不同。这个日子是为了纪念一个中国古代人物的爱国情操，他不仅是当代的政治家、外交高手，也是一位受人爱戴的诗人。

u Yuan lived in the state of Chu (in present Hubei Province, China) during the Warring States Period (475 221 BC). During this time, the area known as Central China was occupied by seven states or small kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin, who were rivalling for control and supremacy.

Early in life, Qu Yuan was already a member of the ruling house of Chu. He had a brilliant career, was made a minister of the court of Chu and an envoy to a neighbouring state Qi. He was once trusted by King Huai of Chu. When the state Qin invaded the other six states, Qu Yuan advocated forming a pact with state Qi to resist Qin. His early success evidently caused jealousy and envy of his fellow officials, who made wrong accusations to slander him. As a result, King Huai dismissed and exiled him. As the affairs of state Chu gradually headed downhill, King Huai recalled Qu Yuan to assist him in governing.

In the ensuing years, the King of Qin offered King Huai some 600-li of land to lure him, pretending that the two states could live peacefully together. This infuriated the state Qi. Against Qu Yuan’s advice, King Huai eventually visited the state Qin. He was detained for many years and died there. King Huai was succeeded by his son, who ignored Qu Yuan’s advice not to yield to Qin. Qu Yuan was exiled again to a place further away than before. Saddened, disappointed and lonely, he used the days of his exile to travel widely, teaching and writing his ideas. Qu Yuan wrote many famous immortal poems – on his love for his country and its people – and the longest lyrics of romanticism regarding politics in the history of ancient Chinese literature. In 278 BC, a Qin army, led by General Bai Qi, occupied state Chu. Qin subsequently conquered the other states and unified the whole of China – for the first time under one ruler. By then, Qu Yuan was an

old man over sixty. He realised that his hope to serve his land and to find a new worthy ruler had come to an end. Once he sighed to an old fisherman: “the world is muddled, yet I am clean; all people intoxicated, only I am sober – this is the reason I had been exiled.” On another occasion, he simply said, “to live with the corrupt and the scum, I’d rather be perished in the guts of fish”.

On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, 279 BC, on the bank of Miluo River (in present Hunan Province), he noticed a solitary wild goose hovering above, quickly disappearing into the distance. In complete despair and loneliness, he picked up a boulder, and with it, he jumped into the river.

cooked rice wrapped in bamboo leaves overboard to turn the fish away from eating his body. Every year thereafter, the villagers and those who had heard of him returned to Miluo River to commemorate his life. Over time, the event has since developed into an enthusiastic boat race. This was the beginning of the grand festival called “Duan Wu Jie”, often referred to as ‘double fifths’, or simply ‘Dragon Boat Festival’ to many westerners.

On hearing this, the people in the vicinity rushed out in their small boats in search of him. At the same time, they splashed the water with their short paddles, some clanging gongs and others beating drums, in an effort to scare the fish away from him. Some even started throwing 原,生长于战国时代（公元前221-475 ）的楚国（即现今的湖北省）。当时战

怀王不顾屈原的反对赴会，这举动激怒了齐国，怀王也被秦扣留，最终客死秦国。怀王之子顷襄王即位后不听屈原劝告，继续对秦

屈原已年逾六十，他获知故国已灭，回天无力，郁郁难舒。屈原披头散发地游荡到了汩罗江（现位于湖南省）。有一个在江边打渔的渔夫看到屈原形容憔悴，身如枯槁，于是好奇地问他为何在这，屈原回答道： “众人皆醉我独醒，整个朝堂都是昏庸不堪的，只有我一个人是清白的。他们不愿听见正确的声音，所以我被流放到这里了啊。”屈原正色道：“ 我宁可远离那混沌的庙堂也不能忍受与他们同流合污。哪怕要投入这汩罗江中葬身鱼腹，我也不愿让自己的品德沾染上不洁的污垢。”于是心丧若死的屈原

怀抱石头，遂投江以身殉国，当天正是农历五月初五。

附近的百姓听闻此噩耗，纷纷划船搜索，打捞屈原的尸体，大家敲锣打鼓地盼能驱赶鱼虾，并把竹叶包着糯米的饭团投进江中，但愿将鱼虾喂饱，免得牠们咬食屈原的尸体。自此以后，村民和听说过屈原的人们每年都会来到汨罗江纪念他。久而久之，端午节划龙舟的习俗就这样流传了下来，这个节日也被称为重午节，外国人一般简称它为龙舟节。

Dragon Boat Festival 端午佳节

今年的农历五月初五，会是在阳历6月18日，大家一起度过这历史悠长的端午节。

This year’s Duan Wu festival falls on 18th June, lets celebrate this meaningful festival together.

uan Wu Jie has its special foods. Glutinous rice is preferred. One typical type is stuffed with savoury fatty pork meat, or chicken meat with beans, chestnuts and salted duck egg yolk, all wrapped in bamboo leaves or banana leaves before being thoroughly cooked. This is commonly called ‘zongzi’ in Mandarin. In China, each region or area has its own version of ingredients. These days, zongzi is available throughout the year. In Perth, in the Northbridge area, zongzi is also readily available in some of the Asian grocery shops.

端

These days, Duan Wu Jie is celebrated throughout China. Outside China, countries like Burma, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam are among the earliest to follow in earnest. Unfortunately, and rather sadly, the present generation of people look at the festival as an organised carnival of feasts, of zongzi and of boat racing in regional and international contests, with little reference to its origin of more than 2,200 years and to the amazing poet Qu Yuan. On 5 March 1953, China held a grand commemorative event in honour of Qu Yuan as a great poet. Little do we know, the same year, the World Peace Council held a special meeting to honour him, and called people to learn from him. Qu Yuan was also listed as one of the four literary celebrities of the world – an accomplishment of no equals. His poems are already translated into many languages.

午节的节令食物是粽子，一般是用糯米制成。较为传统的粽子是以带咸味的肥猪肉或鸡肉，配豆类、板栗、咸鸭蛋为馅，以竹叶或香蕉叶裹着煮熟后享用。在中国，各省区所采用的材料也有所不同。时至今日，想吃粽子也无须等到端午节。在珀斯，一般北桥区的亚洲食品店都有出售。

端午节是中国的节日，在中国以外的国家如缅甸、日本、韩国、马来西亚、新加坡、越南在很多年前已经开始庆祝这节日。然

而，后人早已把这节日视为节庆，共享粽子或举办区域性或国际性的龙舟赛来过节，而几乎忘却了这节日背后超过2200年前的一位伟大诗人---屈原。

1953年3月5日，中国曾经举办过一个大型的纪念活动来悼念屈原。估计不会有太多人知道在同一年，世界和平协会也曾经在一个特别会议上高度赞赏屈原，并鼓励人们向他学习。此外，屈原也被列为世界四大文学高人之一，他的诗篇已被翻译成多种语言。

Activity in Focus 活动聚焦

文◎Teresa Tan 王慧兰

or three decades, Chung Wah Chinese School, with campuses located across Leeming, Morley and Rossmoyne, has continuously delivered Chinese language and cultural education. Besides Mandarin lessons, students may also enrol in a wide range of cultural based after-class curricular activities on Saturday. We will start to introduce them in this column.

Guzheng Lesson

(Chung Wah Leeming Chinese School)

The guzheng group lesson is one of the extra-curricular activities taught at Chung Wah Leeming Chinese School since 2007 with Teresa Tan as the instructor. Teresa Tan has been the instructor all along. The lessons are held on Saturdays 11:30am to 12:30pm at Leeming Senior High School, Aulberry Parade, Leeming. Due to the limited time for individual attention in a group setting, it is preferable that students are nine years old and older.

There are at least two or more guzheng performances, solos and ensembles every year. We have performed popular pieces, like “Dance of the Yeo Tribe”, “Liu Yang River”, “Fighting of the Typhoon”, “Rainbow Cloud Chasing the Moon”, “Happy Days and Fishermen’s Song at Eventide”, etc. Students always try very hard to perform at their best.

GuZheng

Guzheng has a history of 2,500 years. It is a plucked pentatonic zither with movable bridges and is one of the most popular Chinese instruments. Its music is simple and elegant. The most well-known sound is the sound of water created by glissandos. The most commonly used guzheng has 21 strings that are made of steel wound with nylon. The body, about 1.6m long, is made

of wood. Artificial nails are used while playing in order to enhance the tone and expression skills. Guzheng originated in Shaanxi and has spread across China and around the world. There are different styles of presentation as it has developed through the years. Two-hand skills are widely used to increase its musical presentation.
