A time to reset

As Australia welcomes the hot Summer weather, we have also entered the silly season with Christmas, New Year, Australia Day and Lunar New Year within weeks of each other.

In conjunction with Chinese Lunar New Year Celebrations, the Chung Wah Association has received festive greetings from all levels of government, who have supported our community throughout the year. The highlight of the Perth event calendar, the 2023 Perth Chinese New Year Fair and other Chinese New Year feature content will be shared in this celebratory issue.

The ‘Fifty Years of Friendship’ Cultural Concert, held in December 2022, commemorated the 50th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between Australia and China. In this issue, you can read about the excellent local talent displayed at night.

The Chung Wah Association is proud of Theresa Kwok, CEO of Chung Wah Community Care, who was the Western Australia State recipient for Senior Australian of the Year 2023. She is now a nominee for the Australian of the Year Awards, announced in Canberra on 25th January 2023. In this issue, you can read about her selfless contribution and vision in caring for CaLD senior migrants, working with the excellent Chung Wah Community Care team.

Our regular columnists bring us another issue of highly valued content. Dr Mira provides general medical advice to health queries from our readers. Mr Lee and Dr Julia Fu provide our readers with health advice from Western and Chinese physicians. Echo’s Kitchen has kindly shared the secret of preserved meat, a delicacy in Chinese cuisine.

It’s an exciting time of the year as we turn a new page to welcome 2023: a time to reset and a chance for new ideas for Chung Wah Magazine. We look forward to bringing you exciting news and knowledge-enriching articles.

Thank you.

Dear Members,

Each year, Chinese New year falls on a different date in January and February, as it is based on the Lunar calendar which follows the phases of the moon. Chinese New Year is early this year, falling on January 22, soon after welcoming in 2023. This makes it a very busy time for Chung Wah, leaving less time to organise the Chinese New Year celebrations. On behalf of the Chung Wah Executive team, I would like to thank the hardworking staff and volunteers.

New Year’s Eve was celebrated with a dinner and dance at the Chung Wah Cultural Centre in Balcatta, organised by Doreen CHIN and Leonard KHO. It was held to fundraise for the building of the Chung Wah Autumn Centre which will provide short term respite care accommodation. Guests enjoyed a sumptuous buffet dinner and had a great time dancing to welcome 2023 in style. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the event.

Australia commemorated the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Australia and China. I was honoured to attend the official dinner event in Sydney on behalf of the Chung Wah Association. Chung Wah also organised a cultural concert on the 10th of December, at the State Theatre of WA to celebrate the fifty years of friendship. The evening was attended by nearly 800 community members, including government officials and community leaders. The concert was organised by Teresa Tan and featured incredible performances that fused the rich culture of both countries. I was impressed by everyone’s support and grateful to enjoy the good friendship we have between the two countries.

The 2023 Perth Chinese New Year Fair is coming back to James Street and Northbridge Piazza this year, and we are fortunate to have Yagan Square to be part of this year’s celebration. With the continued support from the City of Perth, Office of Multicultural Interests of the WA state government, Lottery West and Development WA, we also received support from Murdoch University, SBS Australia, Global Lithium, Zijin Mining and Norton Gold Field, DoubleTree by Hilton, BYD and Stage & Studio Productions. We look forward to the colourful display of cultural performances and demonstrations, not to mention the food and art stalls which are the favourites of our record 20,000 event patrons.

The 2023 Chinese New Year Ball is one of Chung Wah’s signature events that conclude the Chinese New Year celebrations. Senior Vice President Yudy Kotrajaya is leading the team to organise the event, which is a highlight of the Chinese New Year.

The Chung Wah Association will be all hands on deck for the busy first quarter of 2023, and we look forward to seeing you at our events. We also welcome anyone who would like to get involved in volunteering for Chung Wah Association. If you have a unique or special skill or just want to help out, please contact the Chung Wah office.

Once again, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has assisted Chung Wah Association in every way possible, my fellow executive team, leaders of Chung Wah subsidiary groups and committees, and all staff and volunteers. Special mention to all government officials, community groups and leaders, and local businesses who have supported Chung Wah with their financial and in-kind support.

Let’s look forward to a prosperous year ahead, a year of recovery. Chung Wah Association will continue to strive to serve the community.

Gong xi fa cai !

亲爱的中华会馆会员们：

华人农历新年（春节）都会落在每年的一二月份期间， 因为它是按照农历而定的，而农历则遵循月相来制定节气。 今年的春节来得早，就落在1月22日，而且刚迎来2023年元 旦，这让中华会馆办公室非常忙碌，组织筹办中华新年文化 节的庆祝活动就变得异常紧迫。我谨代表中华会馆执行委 员会，向辛勤工作的员工和义工表示志诚的感谢。

由分别来自排排舞的陈清灵和新潮流舞的许历仔，在中 华巴卡达文化中心举办了一场新年倒数晚宴暨舞会，以庆祝 元旦的到来。该活动也是为了秋园的兴建来进行募款，该中 心将提供短期暂托护理住宿。来宾们享用了丰盛的自助晚 餐，并尽情地跳舞迎接2023年。我们感谢所有为此次活动做 出贡献的各位。

在纪念澳大利亚与中华人民共和国建交50周年之际， 我很荣幸能代表西澳中华会馆会出席在悉尼举行的官方晚 宴活动。中华会馆也在2023年12月10日在西澳州立剧院举办 了“澳中友好五十年文艺晚会”，以庆祝澳中五十年的友谊。 包括政府官员和社区领袖在内的近800名社区成员参加了当 晚的活动。这场音乐会由王惠兰女士筹办，当晚精彩的歌舞 表演巧妙的融合了两国丰富的文化内涵。各界对于此项活动 踊跃的支持让我难忘，也很感激且真切感受到两国之间的 良好友谊。

2023年度的珀斯中华新年文化节，今年将重返詹姆士 街和北桥广场，今年我们有幸携手让雅更广场也成为文化节 庆祝活动的地点之一。在珀斯市政府、西澳州政府多元文化 部办公室、Lottery West和Development WA的鼎力支持下， 我们还得到了默多克大学、SBS Australia、环球锂业、紫金矿 业和诺顿金矿、希尔顿逸林酒店、比亚迪和Stage & Studio Productions的支持。我们万分期待即将登场的多彩的文化 表演和展示；更别说诱人的美食和文化精品摊位了，这是我 们创纪录的两万名民众参与者的最爱。

2023年中华新年晚宴是中华的标志性活动之一，它是 每年的华人农历新年庆祝活动精彩的结尾。中华会馆首席 副会长许俊豪为首的筹办小组组织了此次活动，晚宴堪称 每年珀斯华人农历新年的一大盛事。

中华会馆将全力以赴迎接繁忙的2023年第一季度，我 们期待在中华会馆的各项活动中见到您。我们也欢迎任何 有意参与义务工作的：无论您是专业人士、拥有特殊技能、 或只是想帮忙，都欢迎您与中华会馆办事处联系，让您的好 意与能力得以施展。

再次衷心感谢每一位以各种方式协助中华会馆的人， 尤其是中华会馆执行委员会的同仁、会馆属下各机构和活 动团体的领导和成员们，中华全体员工和志愿者们。我也在 此特别感谢所有以财政和实物支持支持中华的各级政府部 门员、社区团体及其领导人，以及本地企业的鼎力相助。

让我们期待这是繁荣的一年，复苏的一年。中华会馆将 不遗余力服务社会各界。

恭喜发财 !

Ting CHEN 陈挺博士 President, The Chung Wah Association

Chinese New Year Message from the Consul-General of China in Perth

Consul-General of China in Perth

Long Dingbin’s greetings for the Chinese New Year

Auspicious Tiger bids farewell to the old year, and the Golden Rabbit welcomes the new year.

On behalf of the Consulate General of China in Perth, I would like to extend Chinese New Year greetings and festive blessings to all Chinese in Western Australia upon the arrival of the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit!

The Year 2022 will be a milestone in both the history of the Chinese Communist Party and the history of the Chinese nation. The Twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China was successfully held in Beijing. This important conference has drawn a blueprint for China’s development in the next five years and beyond. China will always adhere to the fundamental national policy of opening up to the outside world, firmly pursuing a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy, adhering to the path of peaceful development, and providing new opportunities for countries worldwide, including Australia, with China’s new development.

2022 is the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Australia. After several years of difficulties and setbacks, China-Australia relations have ushered in a new dawn. It was an opportunity for both countries to return to their original aspirations, calibrate, and reset the course again. The successful meeting between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Indonesia set the direction for the progress of bilateral relations. Australia’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with China’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong to promote the return of bilateral ties to the right track and sustainable development.

Overseas Chinese in Western Australia have always cared about their ancestral (home) country. They have worked hard in Western Australia, helped each other, and promoted friendly exchange between China and Western Australia in various fields. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the overseas Chinese in Western Australia and people from all walks of life who support the friendly exchanges between China and Western Australia. In the new year, the Consulate General will always adhere to the principle of “diplomacy for the people” and continue to provide good services. I hope you continue to support the work of the Consulate General and contribute to the deepening of the China-Australia partnership. and make new and more significant contributions to the relationship!

I wish all people of Chinese heritage all the best and a happy Year of the Rabbit!

School visit from John Septimus Roe Anglican College 圣公会学院学生来访

The first school visit since the relaxation of COVID restrictions occurred on Friday, 4 November. The Chung Wah Hall hosted fiftythree Year Six students from John Septimus Roe Anglican College.

The school teaches Chinese language, and the students were given a taste of Chinese culture by learning about lion dance, writing Chinese characters with brush and ink and trying on some Chinese costumes. They also made lanterns using red packets.

These activities were provided with the assistance of volunteers Dominic Yam, Susan Leong, Dena Jin, Brock Johnson, and myself. New Chung Wah office staff member Sophie Wang developed a new calligraphy activity sheet for the students. Many thanks for providing such interesting sessions for the students.

On Thursday 17 November, nine Year 9 Carey College students visited the Hall and experienced the same activities, as well as learning a traditional chinese handkerchief dance, trying their hand at using an abacus and playing tangram games. They were accompanied by two teachers, who also participated in the activities. Their program was spread over most of the day, with a Chinese lunch on their excursion.

Many thanks to Honorary Secretary Jen Nie Chong, who presented many of the morning activities and Lesley Wong and I conducted the afternoon program after lunch.

Chopsticks and eating etiquette are other activities offered.

The Fifteen Days of Chinese New Year

The Spring Festival, which is often referred to as Chinese New Year in general, was called ‘Yuan Dan’. It was recorded in the ‘Wu Zhu Bao Dian’ by Taiqin DU in the Sui Dynasty. The first month is also the month of auspiciousness, of which the first day is called the ‘Yuan’ day (the first day) or ‘Yuan Suo’ (the first day of the month). ‘Yuan’ means the ‘head’ or ‘new beginning’, the first day of the year (Chinese calendar), and first day of the spring season and the first month. Hence it’s also referred to as ‘San Yuan’ (the beginning of the trio). It’s also called ‘San Zhao’, as it’s the first of the day, month and the year. Being the first day of the lunar calendar, it’s also called ‘Yuan Suo’.

The First Day

‘Shang Ri’, ‘Zheng Zhao’, ‘San Zhao’, ‘San Suo’, ‘San Shi’ are all different names for the first day of the year, referring to the reset of the Chinese Gregorian-Lunar calendar to mark the beginning of the day, month and year. The most significant practice of the first day of Chinese New Year is lighting fire-crackers. On the first morning of the Spring festival, fire-crackers were lit upon opening the front door as an act of auspiciousness. The crackling noise accompanied by the red-confetti symbolises good affinity. It’s called ‘Man Tang Hong’ (all red within the courtyard), and fills the whole street with joy and happiness.

New Year visiting starts on the first day of Chinese New Year. As well as visiting one another in person, it can also be done via phone call or other means of contact, sending best wishes to one another for the coming year to be filled with good luck. The first day of Chinese New Year is also belived to be ‘the birthday of the broom’. Because of this, sweeping the floor on the first day attracts bad luck and represents good luck being swept away. This makes it inauspicious to sweep the home on the first day. If cleaning is required, floorsweeping must be done inwardly. You should not take out rubbish or throw out water, to avoid ‘loss of money’. Many places still practise such traditions. Cleaning is carried out right until New Years eve, no sweeping or throwing out rubbish on the first day of the new year, water from cleaning is collected in a big bucket throughout the day.

The Second Day

The Second Day of Chinese New Year is for married daughters to visit their maternal home, together with their spouse and children, it’s called ‘Hui Niang Jia’ (return to the maternal home). The visiting daughter would arrive with gifts and red envelopes for the kids. The daughter and family stay overnight at

the maternal home, which is a tradition called ‘Zhu Niang Jia’ (stay at the maternal home). Northern China has the tradition of praying to the God of Fortune on the second day of Chinese New Year. Shops, businesses, and families host prayer ceremonies, offering joss paper to the God of Fortune.

Lunch would be ‘Hun Tun’ (Chinese Dumpling), or ‘Yuan Bao Tang’ (Soup of the gold ingot). The praying ceremony would have fish and mutton as offerings. Some big businesses in the olden Beijing would host grand ceremonies, offering a whole pig, whole lamb, whole chicken and duck, and sometimes live fish, seeking good fortune throughout the year.

The Third Day

The traditional custom on this day is called ‘Qiong Gui Ri’ (day ghost of poverty). Every family would practise ‘Shao Qiong Gui’ (sweep away the ghost of povertyt) on the third day of Chinese New Year. It is literally taking out all the rubbish that has been accumulated for the past two days, symbolising the repelling of bad luck. Visiting would pause to avoid being mistaken as the ‘poor ghost’. It is also the day of ‘Chi Kou Ri’ (the day of arguments), which forbids people from visiting each other, as it’s believed they would easily get into an argument.

The Fourth Day

Ancient belief says that the fifth day of January of the Lunar Calendar is the birthday of the God of Fortune, so preparations must start the day before. The ceremony is aimed at welcoming the arrival of the God of Fortune. Some families would even set up a banquet to celebrate his birthday, consisting of chicken, pork, fish, fruits, candy and tea. This is one of the most important prayer ceremonies of the month, usually held in the afternoon as the sun goes down.

This is also the day to thank the Kitchen God, the most virtuous deity according to traditional beliefs. If the year has not gone well, the offering could be just water and

three joss sticks. However, if the family has made some fortune in the past year, it could be replaced by a better offering of meat, fish, fruits, tea or liquor to express ratitude and wish for a better year ahead.

This is the day that the forbidden actions of the previous day can now be resumed to normal. The tradition was to eat dumplings for five days consecutively; however, only a handful of people practise this now, opting to eat dumplings for just two or three days or alternate days. There’s also the belief that nothing should be done on the fifth day, or it will result in constant failure for the whole year. This is also the day that shops commence trading.

The sixth day is called the Day of the Horse, or ‘Xia Tian Bei Chun Geng, Qiong Qi Song Chu Men’ (Preparing your field for farming in the Spring, throw poverty out the window). Farming starts on the sixth day. As cleaning was forbidden for the past five days, rubbish that has been collected will need to be thrown out. Although this is barely practiced nowadays, it is tradition to pray to the Toilet God and clean the toilet. This is known as ‘Yi Fei’ (fertilise). However, as many families now have modern bathrooms, this practice is hardly seen in action.

The Seventh Day

The seventh day of Chinese New Year is often called the Day of Mankind or the Birthday of Human Beings. According to myth, when the creator ‘Nu Wa’ created the world and all animals, she created humans on the seventh day and allowed all plants to grow. It is common practice to eat spring rolls or wraps on this day. Cooking usually takes place in the courtyard to ‘Xun Tian, ’ or to show appreication to ‘Nu Wa’.

‘Qi Bao Geng’ (soup of the seven jewels) is made and consumed on the seventh day for good luck. It is made of seven kinds of vegetables, and is believed to both repel the evil spirit and serve as a healing remedy for all illnesses. The combination of the vegetables can be different as local

produce varies from region to region. They might carry different meanings, but they all ward off misfortune and disease. There is also the practice of eating noodles on this day, which symbolises longevity.

The Eighth Day

According to legend, all deities return to the human world on the eighth day of Chinese New Year. People would offer handmade lanterns to the deities. This is called ‘Xun Xing’ (following the stars), ‘Ji Xing’ (offering to the stars), and ‘Jie Xing’ (receiving the stars). Another legend says that the eighth day is the birthday of the paddy. Good weather on this day would forecast a good harvest for the year. However, the opposite will occur if it is a gloomy or cloudy day. The eighth day of Chinese New Year is also believed to be the birthday of the silkworm.

The first eight days of the Chinese New Year are assigned to the following animals: Chicken, Dog, Pig, Lamb, Cow, Horse, Humans, and then lastly, the Silkworm, as they are all farming-related animals. The farming-based society at the time constantly sought the prosperity of their harvest and livestock, the safety of the people, and the silkworm business. There is also a taboo to do needlework on the eighth day, as it is believed it would cause blindness to silkworms.

The Ninth Day

According to the Taoism legend, the ninth day is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, often called ‘Yu Huang Dan’ (birthday of the Jade Emperor), ‘Tian Gong Sheng’ (Birthday of the Heavenly Father), or ‘Tian Ri’ (Day of the Heavens). The Taoist temple would hold grand ceremonies and recite scriptures to celebrate this day. Families would pay their respects to the heavens, worship the Jade Emperor by making offerings of meats and fruits, and request good weather and harvest in the coming year. It is also the day of ‘Jiu Huang Dan’ (Nine Emperor Gods Festival), during which people would wish for family members to be blessed with longevity. People would also be especially courteous and well-mannered on this day to avoid offending the Gods.

The Tenth Day

The tenth day is also called 'Di Ri' (earth day), “the birthday of the stone”, 'Shi Bu Dong' (not moving stone). Any farming equipment, such as stone grinders or crushers, should not be used, and offerings are made to avoid harvest losses. Families pray to the stones, offer incense to them, and eat bao (buns) for lunch to ensure prosperity in the coming year.

On the night of the ninth day, people would freeze a terracotta pot on a flat rock. The next morning, the terracotta

pot would be tied with a rope, and a few young men to carry it. If the stone does not fall off during this whole process, it indicates a good harvest for the year. It’s also a customary belief that the mice in the house would have a wedding on the night. People would leave a bun in the corner of the house as a gift for their wedding. Candles would be lit, with an offering of joss sticks and papers, to show respect for their wedding celebration. However, it is forbidden to light the lamp or talk at night, as it might disturb the wedding ceremony and offend the Mouse God, which could result in pest issues. Another belief is that needlework should be avoided on the tenth day, as it could cause heart pain because the Chinese believe the ten fingers and heart are directly connected.

The Eleventh Day

The eleventh day marks the commencement of farm work; as the saying goes, ‘Yi Nian Zhi Ji Zai Yu Chun’ (plans should start at the beginning of Spring). The farming community would return to work in the fields, hoping for a great harvest in the coming year.

The Twelfth Day

is the day to light a candle at the ancestral hall. In the old days, the farming-based society preferred boys to pass on the bloodline. If the village clan does not own an ancestral hall, a newborn boy with the same surname can light a new lantern, and to be added to the family records. The ancestral hall would also be lit by lanterns offered by the other family members, indicating that the clan's family have grown and continue to prosper.

The thirteen and fourteen days is the day to prosper the livestock life, as these two days are meant to increase their numbers. It is also the best time to replenish the quantity of livestock.

The Fifteenth Day

It is accustomed to having a lantern parade, “Yang Ge” (dance reminiscing the farming activity) and lion dance, fireworks and “Miao Hui” (market in front of the temple in the form of a variety fair) on the fifteenth day of Chinese New Year. The day has been named ‘Yuan Ciao Jie’ (The festival of glutinous rice ball), one of the major highlights of the new year celebrations. It is also called ‘Yuan Xi’, ‘Yuan Ye’, or ‘Shang Yuan Jie', marking the lunar calendar's first full moon night in January. It is often associated with lantern parades and is also known as the Lantern Festival.

The glutinous rice ball is a must for the festival, which has a long history dating back to the Song dynasty. It was called ‘Fu Yuan Zhi’ (floating ball) and later renamed ‘Yuan Xiao’. Businessmen often referred to them as ‘Yuan Bao' (gold ingots).

‘Yuan Xiao’ is also known as ‘Tang Yuan’. These glutinous rice balls could have sugar, rose, sesame, red bean paste, walnut, or date paste fillings, which are then wrapped in glutinous rice flour and rolled into a ball. In Shanxi, the glutinous rice ball is formed by rolling it in rice flour. They can be served as a vegetarian dish or with meat, boiled in soup, deep-fried, or steamed. The round shape of the glutinous rice balls signifies a happy reunion.

Lantern riddle guessing - a speciality game that has continued from ancient times - will also be played during the Lantern Festival. The game was believed to be invented by a scholar, who began placing riddles in colourful lanterns. Thus, colourful lanterns would be lit during the night, accompanied by fireworks.

Legend has it that the Dragon King mistakenly caused a sudden flood during a drought in the Tang Dynasty, killing many people in the capital city. The Jade Emperor sent his guard, ‘ Wei Zheng’, to kill the Dragon King. As a result, the emperor’s sleep was constantly disturbed by the unrested soul of the Dragon King. A courtman suggested offering a gesture to appease the unrested soul, which brought about the existence of dragon lanterns.

A dragon lantern is constructed from bamboo or wood, with coloured paper or cloth. There are an odd number of individual floats on the lantern, and the lantern can be as long as ten metres.

‘Long Deng’ (dragon lantern) refers to lanterns with candles, while ‘Bu Long’ refers to lanterns without candles. During a dragon dance, a person would hold the dragon’s head high while other team members would hold on to the dragon’s body with poles. The dragon would dance along to the rhythm of the percussion with carefully choreographed movements as if it were alive. People will take this opportunity to pray for good weather and

The custom of ‘Hai Er Deng’ (Lantern of the child), ‘Song deng’ (giving a lantern), or ‘Song Hua Deng’ (giving a floral lantern) involves the maternal family giving a lantern to their married daughter to encourage her to have a baby. Elderly relatives also give a lantern to those still trying for a baby, as ‘Deng’ and ‘Ding’

Claypot Cured Meat Rice (Lap Mei Fan) 腊味煲仔饭

Cover with a lid and continue cooking for 15-20 minutes. Do not open the lid in between.

3. Mix all seasonings in a small bowl. Blanch/cook a few bok choy.

4. After 20 minutes, take out the sausages and cured meat, slice thinly, use a fork to loosen the rice, place the sliced sausages and meat back into the pot, add the seasoning and bok choy, and cook for 5 minutes on low heat. Serve hot with bok choy!

2023 Senior Australian Of The Year, Western Australia Theresa Kwok

TheChung Wah Association congratulates Theresa KWOK, CEO Chung Wah Community Care, on winning the 2023 Senior Australian of the Year, Western Australia. Theresa Kwok has been supporting older migrants from culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) communities over the past three decades, enabling them to call Australia their home.

As time went on, she felt the urgent need of assistance required by senior migrants, especially those who were not vocal enough to seek help. Due to the fear of uncertainty, they often suffer in silence. Most of them come to Australia to reunite with their children, away from anything that they are familiar with. They miss their independence, and network of friends in their home country. Theresa feels that is her calling to help those seniors in need, as she feels their loss and helplessness.

been awarded to them! Such enthusiasm further encourages Theresa and her team to design a curriculum that is suitable for CaLD seniors.

Theresa and the staff at CWCC are multilingual, and also specialise in alternative forms of communication for people with disabilities. They help to regain the Senior’s independence, providing fair and culturally appropriate assistance. She also encouraged the government, service providers and the community to increase their awareness of senior CaLD community migrants.

In 2021, Theresa was recognised as Western Australia’s 2021 Seniors Advocate of the Year. She is reshaping how aged and community care services are delivered, including programs to ensure older people can continue to live independently. She will now join the national judging process ahead of the Australian of the Year Awards, announced in Canberra on 25 January 2023.

Theresa migrated from Hong Kong 36 years ago, as a social worker. She has been helping migrants to settle down in Australia ever since. Although she faced the same issues as other new migrants who uprooted their entire life from their country of origin, she continued to provide assistance to the needy with empathy towards their challenges. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, approximately 37% of Australian seniors are born overseas and speak a language other than English. Those who are not able to speak English constitute 6% of the senior population.

Theresa understands the challenges of being a new migrant. Some simple tasks such as grocery shopping, can be extremely difficult without being able to easily communicate. There are also the cultural differences that make it difficult when seeking employment. Many migrants, although equipped with knowledge and skills, were obstructed by language barriers to start a new life in Australia. During the early days, Theresa often received requests to provide language assistance for tasks as simple as interpreting for the purchase of large household items.

Theresa has been actively serving in the community and aged care services industry for the last thirty years, providing much needed assistance to CaLD senior migrants. Her team at Chung Wah Community Care (CWCC) strives to help Seniors regain their confidence and enjoy making Australia their new home. The CWCC Hubs cater for seniors from different backgrounds, supported by valuable staff and volunteers. Seniors are able to enjoy their favourite foods and share a laugh with new found friends that share a common language. Currently, CWCC provides assistance to approximately 800 seniors, with 95% of them non-English speaking.

Theresa’s vision was for a college for the seniors, empowering them with life and social skills. It is important to find a creative solution to look after the ageing CaLD population. Most CaLD seniors, especially females, were not able to receive formal education during their younger days, which sparked the idea of the “Evergreen College”. Theresa claimed that many of the seniors are still quite resistant to the idea, claiming it is a waste of time and money. They didn’t realise that it would help them to be more independent and be able to communicate directly with people around them, especially grandchildren who may no longer speak the family tongue. The Evergreen College” also allows seniors to celebrate cultural festivals together and attend workshops and excursions to learn more about the Australian way of life and to further foster their sense of belonging. Fitness programs and cooking classes are also offered.

Education has always been an important part of Asian heritage, and some seniors value the opportunity to learn. They come with school bags to attend classes, actively participate in group discussion and some of them even frame the certificates that have

The aged-care industry in Australia is constantly facing staff shortages, which is drastically different when compared to Asian countries. Asian family values are different to cultural values in Australia, which poses a challenge to senior CaLD migrants. Theresa compares migration to transplanting a tree, in that not only extra care is required, but the tree needs to adapt to the new location. It is important to be proactive to aid in the adaptation to your new life in Australia.

CWCC is a group under the umbrella of the Chung Wah Association and is dedicated to improving the quality of life of individuals from diverse backgrounds in Western Australia, especially non-English speaking. CWCC delivers community care programs for seniors, their family members and ethnic communities and has helped thousands of people and their families over the course of the past century. We intend to continue improving the community and living standard for all, through our person-centred approach, our dedication to people and our ongoing pursuit of our vision and our values.

CWCC is funded by:

• Home Care Package (HCP)

• Commonwealth Home Support Program(CHSP)

• National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

郭太的愿景是能长 者开设一所大学、赋予他 们学习生活和社交技能。 最终的目的是可以找到 有创意的解决方案来照 顾越来越老龄化的多元 文化社区人口。大多数的 多元社区长者、尤其是女 性、因为在年轻的时候无

教育一直是亚洲传统的重要组成部分、 有些长者非常重视学习的机会；他们会背着 书包来上课、对于小组讨论非常积极参与、 有的甚至还把颁发给他们的证书裱框起来！ 长者们如此热情的举动让郭太与团队们更 加努力的去设计适合多元文化长者的各类课 程。

郭太和中华社区长者服务部的职工们都 能运用多种语言、并且还擅长为听障人士提 供其他的交流方式。他们协助长者恢复独立 性、并且为他们提供公平且符合文化惯例的 帮助。郭太也希望政府、社会服务提供者，甚 至整个社区、能提高他们对于多元文化长者 移民的认识。

澳大利亚的长者护理行业一直都面临着 人员短缺的问题、这个与亚洲国家相比之下 更显大径相廷。亚洲社会的家庭价值观与澳 大利亚本文文化的价值观不同、这对于多元 文化背景的长者移民构成了一大挑战。郭太 将此比喻为移植一颗大树、不仅要提供额外 的照顾、而且该棵树更要全力去适应这个新 的栽种地域。积极主动的态度对于适应并融 入澳大利亚的新生活圈蔚为重要。

中华社区服务部（CWCC）是中华会馆的一个重要 构成团体。中华社区服务部致力于改善西澳大利亚 不同背景人士的生活质量，尤其是非英语人士。中 华社区服务部为长者、与其家庭成员、以及其他少 数民族群体提供社区护理计划，并在过去一个世纪 中帮助了成千上万的人和他们的家庭。中华社区服务部秉承以人为本的理念、奉献精神、部会愿 景和价值观的不断追求，继续为所有人的社区和生活水平谋福祉。

In order to prevent infectious diseases, avoid environmental risks, and ensure the personal safety during travel, it is important to perform a personal health assessment, such as age, health conditions, medications, and immunisation history against the details of the planned trip (the season of travel, itinerary, duration, and planned activities).

Here are some common issues, but not limited to, that should be covered by travellers before travelling.

Vaccine preventable illness

1. Hepatitis A vaccination should be considered for all travellers especially for those who are travelling to countries where sanitation and hygiene may be poor.

2. Vaccination against Japanese encephalitis (a mosquito borne, viral disease that is prevalent in most countries of Asia) should be administered on the basis of a risk assessment.

3. Typhoid immunisation is indicated for travellers who will be consuming food and drink in conditions of poor sanitation and hygiene especially in Central and South America, Asia, and Africa.

4. Influenza is a year-round concern and it is strongly recommended particularly in crowded conditions, such as on cruise ships, large tourist groups or participating in mass gatherings.

5. Fifth COVID-19 vaccine dose is not currently recommended in Australia.

Malaria

Malaria is one of the most severe infectious diseases among travellers but fortunately, nearly all cases are preventable. The best management of malaria includes awareness of risk, avoidance of mosquito bites, compliance with chemoprophylaxis, and prompt diagnosis in the event of a febrile illness either during or on return from travel.

Traveller’s diarrhoea

Traveler's diarrhoea is the most common disease among travellers. Self-treatment includes hydration; treatment with loperamide for control of symptoms (when there is no temperature > 38.5°C or gross blood in the stool), and a short course of a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, if necessary.

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT)

Long-haul journeys of 6–8 hours and longer should avoid wearing constrictive clothing around waist and lower extremities, exercise calf muscles, maintain hydration, and wearing below-the-knee compression stockings may be considered.

Personal medicine pack

It is important to carry medicines to treat acute or chronic health problems. These are the common medicines available over-the-counter in Australian pharmacy.

• Imodium Plus (for diarrhoea, bloating and wind)

• DiaRelieve (for relief of diarrhoea in children, and to absorb bacteria, viruses and toxins)

• Codral Cold, Flu & Cough Day and Night PSE (for fever, runny nose, block nose, insomnia, allergy, motion sickness)

• Claratyne Chewable (antihistamine, convenient to use for adults and children)

• Nurofen Meltlets (anti-inflammatory, suitable for adults and children)

• Kenalog (for mouth ulcer)

• Novasone cream (steroid cream for skin rash, bites)

• Stingose

• Gaviscon Dual Action chewable tablets (for indigestion, reflux, stomach upset)

• FLO Travel nasal spray (to prevent upper respiratory tract infection, especially best against human coronavirus infection)

• BioCeuticals Lactoferrin Plus SB (to prevent traveller's diarrhoea)

为了预防传染疾病、排除外界传播因素，并且能 确保自身的医药安全，在旅行前最好对自身健康的评 估很重要，尤其是因年纪、健康状况、药物需求，以及 针对旅行目的地所需要预先施打的预防针（因季节、行 程、旅途长度、以及旅行当时的活动安排而有所不同） 以下所列是常见的案列，但并不仅有以下所罗 列，但建议您在旅行前做好参考。

预防针施打

1. 所有的旅行者应该考虑接种甲类（A型）肝炎预防 针，尤其是将会参访卫生条件有限或不佳的地域 2. 应在风险评估的基础上接种乙型脑炎疫苗（一种 在亚洲大多数国家流行的蚊媒病毒性疾病，别名 日本脑炎）

3. 在环境卫生条件差的情况下食用食物和饮料的旅 行者应接种伤寒疫苗，尤其是准备前往中美和南 美洲、亚洲和非洲的旅行者

4. 流感是一个全年都令人担忧的问题，强烈建议接 种疫苗、特别是会曝露在拥挤的情况下的旅程， 如游轮、大型旅游团或参加群众集会。

5. 澳大利亚目前不推荐接种第五剂 COVID-19疫苗。

疟疾

疟疾是旅行者中最严重的传染病之一，但幸运的是，几 乎所有病例都是可以预防的。 疟疾的最佳管理包括提 高风险意识、避免蚊虫叮咬、遵守化学预防措施，以及 在旅行期间或旅行归来时及时诊断发热性疾病。

旅行者腹泻

旅行者腹泻是旅行者中最常见的疾病。可以进行的 自我治疗包括补充水分； 用洛哌丁胺治疗以控制症 状（当体温 不超过38.5°C 或粪便中有明显血迹时）， 并在必要时短期使用氟喹诺酮类抗生素。

深静脉血栓 六至八小时及以上的旅途，应避免穿束缚腰部和下肢 的衣服。旅行者可以透过让小腿肌肉保持活动、及时 补充水分，或考虑穿膝盖以下的弹力袜以防堵血栓。 个人药品包 随时准备并携带好个人所需要的紧急或者慢性病药物 以下所罗列的是在澳大利亚的药房晷面上可以直接 购买到的普通药物

• Imodium Plus（用于腹泻、腹胀）

• DiaRelieve（缓解儿童腹泻，排解细菌、病毒和毒素）

• Codral Cold, Flu & Cough Day and Night PSE（用于发 烧、流鼻涕、鼻塞、失眠、过敏、晕车）

• Claratyne 咀嚼片（抗组胺剂，方便成人和儿童使用）

• Nurofen Meltlets（抗炎，适合成人和儿童）

• Kenalog（用于口腔溃疡）

• Novasone 外敷霜（用于治疗皮疹、咬伤的类固醇霜）

• Stingose

• Gaviscon Dual Action 咀嚼片（用于消化不良、食道反 流、胃部不适）

• FLO Travel鼻腔喷雾剂（预防上呼吸道感染，尤其是 对人类冠状病毒感染最有效）

• BioCeuticals Lactoferrin

Plus SB（预防旅行者

腹泻）

How to stay health and prevent diseases whilst travelling 旅游季节如何预防疾病保护身体健康的一点建议

傅绪琼中医师 - 1983年毕业于5年制中国安徽中医药大学，从事中医临床 已有36年工作经验。

Christmas, New Year and Spring Festival are coming one after another, and it is time for the annual holidays again. Many people prefer to put aside their busy work schedule and hurl themselves into travel. It is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature and the joy of gathering with relatives and friends. However, there may be unexpected physical and mental exhaustion, as well as sickness. I will put forward some practical and effective suggestions from the perspective of Chinese medicine.

(1) Adequate preparation is the most effective method.

Before going out, prepare warm clothes, rain gear, sunscreen, Chinese and Western medicines. Bring water bottles and healthy snacks to replenish water and energy anytime. Also bring wind oil essence, paw paw ointment, bruise ointment, which can be used for insect bites, allergies, and bruise from falls.

(2) Prevention of travel sickness.

Bring some fresh oranges and sliced ginger. An excellent way to prevent motion sickness is to smell orange peel. I have tried it myself, and it works every time. Sucking ginger slices or putting ginger on your belly button can also help prevent motion sickness.

(3) Have good sleep.

Travelling is often a rush and energy-draining exercise. It consumes a considerable amount of physical strength and energy, so it is necessary to have a six-to-eight-hour sleep and never stay up late. Otherwise, it damages your immunity, leading to illness.

(4) Eat in moderation.

Don't overeat. Don’t drink highly carbonated beverages or too much alcohol. This can prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases.

(5) Rinse your back with hot water.

When taking a shower at night, please rinse your back with hot water for 2-3 minutes continuously, which can effectively help prevent cold, eliminate fatigue and promote sleep. It can enhance blood circulation, keep your body warm, and remove toxins by flushing the Feishu and other acupoints on the back with hot water. I highly recommend this simple and effective method to everyone.

I wish you all have a healthy, happy and safe holiday!

圣诞节、新年和春节接踵而至，又到了一年 一度的节假日的时间。很多人都喜欢在假期里放 下繁忙的工作，带着愉悦的心情出外旅游，享受一 下大自然的美好风光以及与亲朋好友们相聚的欢 乐。但在舟车劳顿的旅行生活中，往往可能会出 现一些疾病和身心疲惫的状况，使你的预期大打 折扣。今天就从中医预防的角度给大家几点切实 有效的建议。

（一） 做好充分的预备是最有效的良 药。

出门前要预备带上保暖的衣服、雨具、防晒 霜、中西药品、水壶和健康的零食等等，随时补充 水和能量。这里也特别提醒带上风油精、木瓜膏 和跌打损伤膏等，对于蚊虫叮咬、过敏和跌伤等 都可以及时使用、立刻见效的。

（二）预防晕车晕船。

带上几个新鲜的橘子和一些生姜片。用鼻子 闻橘子皮的香味，有非常好的预防晕车的作用， 本人亲自尝试过每次都有效。口含生姜片，或把 姜片贴在肚脐眼上，也可以有效地帮助预防晕 车。

（三）保持足够的睡眠

出外旅行常常要赶赶时间，舟车劳顿很消耗 体力和精力，所以一定要保持六到八小时的睡眠， 千万不要熬夜。否则会损伤自己的免疫力，导致 生病。

（四）饮食要有节制。

不要暴饮暴食，不要饮用高碳酸的饮料，也 不要喝酒太多。要预防肠胃疾病的发生。 （五）用热水冲背。

每天晚上洗澡时，用热水持续冲洗背部 2 - 3 分钟，这可以有效地帮助预防和消除感冒症状、 消除疲劳和促进睡眠。因为用热水冲背部的肺俞 等穴位，可以增强血液循环，驱除风寒，清除毒 素。这种方法简单有效，特别推荐给大家。 祝愿大家有一个健康、快乐、平安的假期!

Ask the GP

Dr Mira graduated from Melbourne University Medical School in 2006. Dr Mira is very passionate about her work in general practice as well as cosmetic medicine. She is fluent in both English and Mandarin, and has many years of experience caring for communities with different cultural and social diversity, and she enjoys interacting and helping patients of all backgrounds and ages.

1I am a mum with three children; recently, I just had my Pap Smear Test done by a new doctor. Although the procedure was done without much discomfort and the results show no complications, my period has gone out of its expected timing. I have followed up with the doctor, and she claimed that it is regular and only temporary. I trust her professional opinion. However, a second opinion might ease my slight worry.

The standard potential complications with the pap smear procedure can range between spotting, heavy bleeding, pain, discomfort, infection and occasional repeat testing. However, if symptoms post-pap smear procedure persists, it is essential to follow up with a doctor to ensure no infection or other treatable complications.

With the delay or irregularity of the period, this may be a coincidental incidence rather than from having the pap smear. This is because the pap smear test is performed on the cervical os, which is far from the uterus and should most likely cause a Spotting unless there is a bleeding polyp or vascular structure at the cervical os opening.

2My friend asked me during a casual chat at a social event about having a prostate biopsy done. I was puzzled puzzled, being the youngest among them all (45 years old, they’re mostly 50 and over), and I do not see a pressing need. My recent health check passed with flying colours, and I am still active with my wife in private matters. My wife suggested that I forward this question to you about general health concerns for men, as it could benefit other readers too.

For men, it is important to have the prostate checked regularly from age 50 years old onwards. Before that, if any man has symptoms of dripping, mild urinary discomfort or any lower abdominal discomfort, have the prostate examined through a blood test and a prostate examination done by your doctor.

The prostrate changes may not be related to your sexual function. So despite having a normal sex life, it is still essential to have a prostate checked-up when aged 50 years and above.

3My wife recently showed some blank spots on her skull that has lost its grown hair. After seeking professional treatment from a dermatologist, she was prescribed steroid cream to be applied externally. I know the risk of steroids and their harm. Is there any other way that I could help her to recover without the involvement of such drugs?

Hair loss can result from various causes such as stress, hormonal changes, hair product allergy, hair dermatitis and many other causes. Therefore you have taken the right step by having it examined by a doctor. Apart from a steriod cream applied topically, you can take vitamins cream. You can take vitamins specially designed for hair loss, shampoo and conditioner designed for hair loss and consider other therapy such as LED light or platelet-rich plasma to stimulate hair regrowth.

4My caucasian boyfriend has suffered from sunburn issues since childhood, and I, being a Southeast Asian woman, have never known of such an issue or how to deal with it. Would getting sun protection cream over SPF50+ from Asia help him be ‘normal’ like me? And if we proceed with the marriage, would this genetically pass on to our future generation?

The SPF50plus/UVA/UVB is now widely recommended for anyone living in Australia, regardless of skin type. It is widely available now in Australian pharmacies, skin clinics or grocery stores. If you proceed to have children together, your children will likely inherit their sensitivity to sun exposure. However, it can be managed by applying sunscreen, limiting sun exposure by choosing the hours of going out and having sun protection measures such as wearing a hat. These will all help to prevent sunburn and further complications from the burns.

5I have been a migrant to Australia for 20 years, and recently I seem to be reacting quite badly after taking dairy products. My family doctors explained to me that it’s pretty normal to be a lactoseintolerant person of Asian heritage. Could lactose intolerance develop over time since migrating to this country? Or those supposed dairy products that I have consumed since young have not been the real deal? (Rumors say it’s all processed food that contains no real dairy).

Lactose intolerance can happen to anyone of any cultural background. This is more due to aging and changes to your intestinal cell. Suppose you are finding yourself having a bad reaction to dairy products. You can change your diet by taking soy milk or boiling regular milk to modify the composition of the milk to reduce your lactose intolerance. Otherwise, you can minimise lactose intake to reduce the symptoms.

6 My mum suffers from chronic back pain, and I have recommended she see my chiropractor. She declined my suggestion as she would rather see her Sifu for a massage. I do not object to any alternative treatment that she believes in, but I worry that might cause her delay in proper treatment. I would like to know a GP's point of view on a dilemma like this that often occurs in a Chinese family.

If your mum has ongoing back pain, despite having several chiropractor treatments, it is essential to have further investigations done to rule out sinister causes for her back pain. So if you are very concerned about her back, you can encourage her to go and see her GP for a routine investigation to rule out concerning causes of her back pain. **The above remarks are general guides only as results may differ for each individual; please consult your family doctor for detailed diagnostics if the symptom persists

寻医问药

Mira医生于2006年毕业于墨尔本大学医学系。Mira医生对她的全科医学以及美容医学工作充满热情。

她能说流利的英语和普通话，并拥有多年参与各个多元文化社区的医护经验，并且享受与不同类型和年龄段的 患者进行互动，给他们提供帮助。

1我是四位孩子的母亲、最近才在一 位年轻医生那里做了子宫膜片检 查。虽然过程没有不舒服、而且结果也 是无恙，但是我的经期开始开始变得异 常。我有询问过该医生、她说这是正常 的且暂时的。我相信她的专业、但是如 果有另外一位医生的说法会让我更加 的放心。

對於子宮頸抹片檢查，非常潛在的風險有 這些：出血、疼痛、不適、感染和偶爾需要重複檢 測。但是，如果子宮頸抹片檢查後的症狀持續存 在，請務必回診看醫生以確保沒有感染或其他 可治療的併發症。

如果做完子宮頸抹片有經期延遲或不規 則，這可能是巧合。這是因為子宮頸抹片檢查實 際上是在子宮的宮頸最外面做細胞取樣，離真 正的子宮有些距離。所以除非在子宮頸口有息 肉或血管瘤，通常做子宮頸抹片引起的出血量 是很少的。

2 在一次的社交聚会上、朋友们聊起 了前列腺检测。我有点困惑因为我 是其中年纪最轻的（我４５岁，而其他 的都是５０岁以上的男性）我不认为我 需要做这类的检测。我最近的体检报 告优等、和太太的房事正常。我太太建 议我向您提出这个有关男性健康保养 的提问，希望对于其他读者也有助益。

對於男性來說，從 50 歲起定期檢查前列腺 絕對重要。在此之前，如果任何男性有漏尿、小 便不適或任何下腹部不適的症狀，建議通過血 液檢查檢查前列腺，並由您的醫生進行真正前 列腺檢查。

前列腺的變化與您的性功能不一定有完 全關聯。因此，儘管有正常的性生活功能，只要 你的年紀到了50歲以上或尿到有症狀，進行前 列腺檢查仍然很重要。

我的太太最近头部发现了掉头发 的白班秃点，在找过了皮肤专科医 生诊断后、她被开了含有类固醇的药膏 以涂抹在患处。我晓得类固醇的危险， 请问是否有何种替代的治疗方式可以 避免使用到类固醇？

脫髮可能是多種原因造成的，例如壓力、 荷爾蒙變化、護髮產品過敏、毛髮皮炎和許多其 他原因。因此，您去看醫生做醫生檢查是正確的 作法。治療方針除了局部使用類固醇霜外，您可 以服用專為掉髮設計的維生素、專為掉髮設計 的洗髮水和護髮素，並考慮其他療法，如 LED 燈或富含血小板的血漿，以刺激頭髮再生。

4 我的白人男友自小就饱受晒伤之

苦，而我身为一名东南亚女性对并 不了解日晒能有如此的破坏性、更不晓 得如何去应对。我在亚洲所找到的SPF 五十加的防嗮品是否对他的情况有用？ 如果我们未来结合了，我们的下一代会 否遗传到这个怕晒的毛病？

SPF50plus/UVA/UVB現在被廣泛推薦給 居住在澳大利亞的任何人，無論皮膚類型如何。 現在在澳大利亞的藥房、皮膚診所或雜貨店都 可以買到。如果您選擇生育孩子，您的孩子很可 能會遺傳到他對陽光照射的敏感度。但是這可 以通過塗抹防曬霜來減少風險，或通過選擇外 出時間來限制陽光照射，也或者可以採取戴帽 子等防曬措施。這些都有助於防止曬傷和進一 步的燒傷。

5

我移民至澳洲已经二十年了，最近 才发现自己对于奶制品有不好的 反应。我的家庭医生说这是亚裔群体中 常见的乳酸不兼容症。我想知道的是这 类症状是否是在我移民后的这二十多 年中构成的呢？还是我在原籍国所食 用的所谓’乳制品‘其实都不是真实的？ （有听说这些都是加工食品、并不真正 含有乳酸）

乳糖不耐症可能發生在任何文化背景的 任何人身上。這更多是由於衰老和腸道細胞的 變化。如果您發現自己對乳製品有不良反應。您 可以通過服用豆漿來改變您的飲食習慣，或者 將普通牛奶煮沸以改變牛奶的成分，以減少您 的乳糖不耐症。否則，您可以嘗試盡量減少乳糖 攝入量以減輕症狀。

6 我妈一直都有背疼的毛病，我屡次 建议他去我的脊椎专科医师那里 去看诊。但我妈更是相信他的‘跌打师 父’，常去他那里接受推拿治疗。我并不 排斥非主流的疗养方式、但是我更担心 她延误诊断。我想知道普通科医生对于 这类华人家庭常见的困惑有什么样的 建议？

如果您的媽媽有持續著背酸痛，儘管接受 了幾次脊椎指壓治療，重要的是要進行下一步 的檢查以排除導致她背痛的原因。因此，如果您 非常擔心她的背痛，可以鼓勵她去看全科醫生， 進行常規檢查，以排除導致她背痛的原因。

If you would like Dr Mira to answer your medical question, email it to editor@chungwah.org.au before 11 March 2023
