Time flies, as we move along to the second quarter of the year. It seems that Chinese New Year has just passed, then the Qing Ming festival in a blink of the eye, and we are now looking forward to the Duan Wu festival.
The success of the 2023 Perth Chinese New Year Fair would not be possible without the support from the City of Perth, Office of Multicultural Interests and Lotterywest. This year we have decided to move back to James Street, the home of Chung Wah Association. In addition to the large crowds at James Street, we expanded our reach to Yagan Square. thanks to the support from Development WA. We also would like to thank all sponsors, commercial supporters, vendors, staff and volunteers to make this event possible. On behalf of the Chung Wah Association, we sincerely thank you for your hard work! And look forward to seeing you again in 2024.
An Extraordinary General Meeting was held on 12 March 2023. Members unanimously voted for the acquisition of a parcel of land in Bentley, for the future construction of Chung Wah Community Centre, Southern suburbs. More details can be found in this issue.
The Qing Ming Festival was again a meaningful one, organised by the Chinese Community Centre, with the support of Chung Wah. Attendees met to tidy up the Chinese section of the Karrakatta Cemetery and pay their respects to the ancestors. I encourage the younger generation to participate in such activities, not only to understand the significant cultural meaning, but to pass on the story to the next generation. It is important to know the heritage and history of this significant festival
Congratulations to our Trustee, Past President and Life Member James Chong and family, who have wholeheartedly contributed toward the Chinese community in Western Australia in many ways. The three generations of the family have been deeply involved with the development of the Chinese diaspora in Perth, with their contributions now acknowledged in the Australia Chinese Friendship awards presented on 2 March 2023 to recognise their significant work in the Chinese community.
Chung Wah Association would not be possible without the sacrifice of our ladies. We deeply appreciate their efforts in the smooth running of the Association. In conjunction with the 2023 Women’s Day celebration, we would like to express our gratitude towards our female Executive Committee members and staff.
As the peak body of the Chinese Community of Western Australia, Chung Wah encourages the people of our community to voice their concerns to us. In uniting our voice and efforts, we are able to face any challenges together as one.
Thank you.

the resolution.
At 1.36pm, Dr Ting CHEN, President of the Chung Wah Association, announced the start of the meeting, thanking the landowners and paying respects to the aboriginal elders. At the same time, thanks to the members who attended the general meeting. Then, Jen Nie CHONG, Honorary Secretary of the Chung Wah Association, determined that the number of participants met the required quorum of 100 people.
President Ting CHEN first thanked Premier Mark McGowan, Senator Kate Doust, MP Dr Jags Krishnan, Federal MP Lin Wenqing, Minister of Lands, John Carey, Minister Tony Buti from the Office of Multicultural Interests, Federal MP Matt Keogh, David Michael, Yaz Mubarakai, Member of Parliament, Mr Raj Selventra, City of Canning Mayor, Patrick Hall, City of Gosnells Mayor, Terresa Lynes, and City of Canning Land Office Director, Chris O’Connor for their support.
A vote was then held, and all members passed the special motion unanimously by a show of hands. When the chairperson announced the special proposal was passed, everyone applauded happily. Everyone was happy that the construction of the Chung Wah Community Centre had entered a substantive stage. To conclude, special guest Kate Doust was invited to speak. She said she would continue assisting Chung Wah Association in the constructionof the centre.
The Labor party found that the Chinese community needed a community centre in the south metropolitan as the growing population of Australians with Chinese heritage in this region in 2020. Thank you to the Honourable Kate Doust for her assistance.
On 13 December 2020, the then Western Australian Premier, Honourable Mark McGowan announced that the State Government would make a $5 million commitment to build a Chung Wah Community Centre in Perth’s south metropolitan area.
On 16 May 2022, Patrick Gorman MP announced that the Labor Party would make a $1.75 million commitment towards the proposed Chung Wah Community Centre in Tangney if Labor won the election.
In July 2021, Councillors of City of Canning rejected the sale of the land next to the Willetton library on 20 July 2021 after six months consultation with the City of Canning. The Chung Wah Community Centre SubCommittee searched for suitable land in Willetton and Bullcreek, but we could not secure suitable land after another one year search.
Dr Jags, member for Riverton, agreed to extend the search area outside of the Riverton Electorate.
The committee searched for land in Willetton, Canning Vale, Southern River, Jandakot, Cockburn Central, Piara Water and Banjup.
The WA State Government was very supportive of finding land for Chung Wah. With arrangements from the office of Minister Tony Buti, we had three meetings with DevelopmentWA and the Department of Land. The proposed land is located on Hedley Street and Nyamup Way, Completing the Chung Wah Community Centre will enable Chung Wah Association to extend its services to residents in Perth’s southern region, in line with the Association’s mission and goals. This multi-purpose community centre will serve the Chinese community in the area and benefit the wider community in Perth.

The Australia China Friendship Society of WA (ACFSWA) annual awards are designed to honour and thank those individuals and organisations who have made a significant contribution towards the promotion of friendship between China and Australia.
The award is open to applicants that demonstrate excellence in the promotion of Chinese culture within WA, to encourage better relations between China and Australia. All the nominees have contributed to a better understanding between Australian and Chinese people in the Australian community. The award categories are individual, family, associate or corporate entities.
As one of the great supporters of the Chung Wah Association, the Chong Family have demonstrated above excellent attributes to be nominated for the family category of the awards. At the annual award night on 2 March 2023, they subsequently won the family award, a joyous piece of news to be shared with the Chung Wah family.
James and Anita Chong first arrived in Perth, Western Australia as students in 1968 and 1970, respectively. For the past 46 years, James, Anita and the Chong family have worked tirelessly to build up close ties and the friendship between Australia and China. They were both members of ACFSWA in the eighties and promoted Chinese culture within Western Australia and contributed enormously to a better understanding between people of the two countries in the Australian community. Their three daughters, Jen Nie, Yun Nie and Ann Nie have also followed their parents’ passion. They started learning Chinese at a very young age and were greatly involved in Chinese Dance, Lion and Dragon Dance and the Chinese Youth group. They continue to pass on Chinese culture to their children through the study of Chinese language, culture and traditions.
James has been actively involved in the developments and events of the local Chinese community in Western Australia. In 1985 -1987 he was elected to be the Treasurer of the Chung Wah Property Development Committee and helped raise funds for the purchase of land in Balcatta to build a Chinese Cultural Centre. From September 1993 – 1998, James was the President of the Chung Wah Association and led the construction of the Chung Wah Cultural Centre in Balcatta. The Cultural Centre now hosts various Chinese and multicultural events. James has promoted the Association in the broader Australian and Chinese community and co-organised China tours for ACFS Australian friends to visit different cities in China and experience Chinese culture. From May 1992 until present, James was elected to the Council of Elders. He was awarded as Life member of the Chung Wah Association to recognise his great contribution to bring the people of two countries closer and together. In 2002, he was elected as Trustee of the Chung Wah Association. All the wonderful things James has done to establish the Chung Wah Association has formed a solid foundation for the relationship between Australian and Chinese communities.
Anita has made significant contributions to the teaching of Chinese in Western Australian schools for over 30 years. She has achieved many milestones throughout those years, achieving great recognition and respect from state, national and international bodies. Anita strongly believed that students, parents and staff should be immersed in Chinese culture. This was but the beginning of a lifetime devoted to creating possibilities for others.
Anita was the principal at one of the earliest Chung Wah Chinese Schools in 1980. She was a Chinese Language teacher at Mt. Lawley Senior High School since 1992. Mount Lawley SHS has become a beacon for Chinese teaching in WA helped by Anita's knowledge and strengthened by her commitment over a long period of time. Anita mentored and coached Mt. Lawley SHS students on state, national and international language competitions and facilitated students on international tours, igniting their passions, as seen by former students who have become successful ambassadors in many areas. She had facilitated many Chinese International tours and provided support and local knowledge to students and accompanying staff and parents, since 1993.
Anita had great community involvement with the Primary School cultural learning annual excursion “Panda Picnic” and Chinese festivals. She helped set up the Sister School relationships (which are still active today) and through the Asia Literacy and the A0sia Education Foundation.
Anita was the founding member (1984), Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President (19842004), President (2005-2011), Advisor (2012+ ) of the Chinese Language Teachers Association of WA; A founding Member, Secretary (1994-2011) and President (20112015) of the Chinese Language Teachers Federation of Australia. In 2000, Anita was named as Outstanding Chinese Language Educator by the Government of the People's Republic of China. In 2009, she was awarded the Outstanding Contribution Award from
the Professional Teaching Council of Western Australia. Anita was the only recipient of the 2012 Hilde Dixon Award, the highest honour for language teachers in WA, for her contribution to outstanding language education in WA. In 2015, Anita was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 2015 Queen’s Birthday Honours List. "For service to foreign language education as a teacher and to professional organisations". A classroom at Mt. Lawley SHS was named in her honour. Her Excellency, the Honourable

Anita has given decades of service to teaching, supporting, and promoting the teaching of Chinese and was a founding member of both the Chinese Language Teachers Association of Western Australia and the Chinese Language Teachers Federation of Australia. Anita has been President of both associations and has also contributed significantly to the Chung Wah Association.
The devotion and the involvement that James, Anita and their three daughters have displayed towards the promotion of cultural understanding between the two countries has had a great impact on their grandchildren.

As the fourth generation of Chinese Australians, Kaylene POON was born and raised in Perth, most of her childhood time was spent at her father’s shops, Hop Hing and Co in the 1950s that once stood next to the Chung Wah Hall in Northbridge.
She later became the inaugural co-ordinator of the Chung Wah Historical Group formed in 1986, a year after the CWA’s 75th Anniversary Celebration and remained in the role till 2009. Her dedication and interest towards the early Chinese in Western Australia, that led her into helping to organise the visit program initiated by Catholic Education funding, ‘Restricted Entry’ to the Chung Wah Hall during the first decade of the millennium.
Before retirement in mid 2019, Kaylene worked as the Local History Officer of the City of Melville for over 11 plus years. She was also a visitor service officer in the WA Museum at the Fremantle site for over 11 years.
Kaylene got inducted into the WA Women’s Hall of Fame in 2011, acknowledging her voluntary work in the Chinese Community for the past 30 years. In 2018, she accepted the appointment of Honorary Historical Advisor to the Chung Wah Association and continues to hold the role until today. She had been the go-to person for all queries to local heritage or history organisations, especially anything related to the Chinese community. Kaylene's continuous research, documents and promotion of Chinese History in WA is highly regarded by the community.
She had been the key person for Chung Wah Association to establish the relationship between National Trust Australia, especially in the conservation project of the Chinese Jacket, a discovery from the excavation of the East Perth Cemetery. This discovery is the solid evidence that Chinese migrants have their significant roles during the time as part of the community.
“The business actually opened in 1902 and my parents took it over in 1954, which was the last remaining Chinese grocery shop in what we now know as Northbridge.”
“During the Second World War, when they bombed Broome and a few other the northwest towns, the people got evacuated out and the Chinese was either billeted with other Chinese residents of Perth or otherwise. They stayed at the Chung Wah Hall and at that time there was still the lovely balcony at the front of the hall. Some of them slept on the balcony. Post War the hall kind of fell into kind of a hiatus period, the shop next door seemed to take on the role of looking after these elderly people. Previous owners to my parents had that role and I think when my parents took over, they just continued with those roles.”
“There were no Chinese interpreters or doctors at those times, so my father would go to the hospital, translate for anyone that needed to be admitted. We would write letters. Well, my parents would write letters. Mum would type them up if they needed official letters; when they died, my parents would have to help arrange for the funeral and burials at Karrakata. And at the time, I didn't think too much of it, but, yeah, I look back now and realise, yeah, they kind of went out of their way to help people.”
“A lot of these people was living a very kind of isolated existence. They had no way of going home to their families or anyone else. And so they would come to my parent’s shop, basically to socialise mix with any other Chinese who happened to be there. We were like the go-to. So I think in a way, it was their way of kind of just feeling a part of being a family was coming into my parent’s shop and there were still quite a few elderly Chinese men living out their last days there. And at the time, I didn't realise that they were waiting to die.”
“And Wong Chew, who was the last market gardener in South Perth, he would come along in his horse drawn cart and put the nosebag on the horse and come in and have a cup of tea, sit down with my parents and chat and then just wait for anyone else to turn up. And quite often there'd be a couple of others there. The horse would stand out the front and I would stand there and just pat the horse and it just wouldn't move. And it was wonderful for me. My dad told me in later years that when Wong Chew would go home from visiting our shop, quite often, he'd be so tired, he'd fall asleep and the horse would actually take him back home to South Perth.”

作为第四代澳洲华裔，邝彩玲在珀斯出生长大，她的童年 大部分时间是在她父亲的店铺——20世纪50年代的合兴公司 （Hop Hing and Co）旁边度过的，这家店铺曾位于北桥中华堂 旁边。
后来，她成为1986年成立的中华历史小组的首任协调员， 即中华历史协会成立75周年庆典一年后，一直担任该职位直至 2009年。她对西澳大利亚州早期华人的奉献和兴趣，使她成为 中华历史协会的首任协调员。协助组织由天主教教育资助发起 的“千禧年第一个十年限制进入中华堂”的参观计划。
在 2019 年年中退休之前，邝彩玲担任梅尔维尔市地方历 史官员超过11年。她还在弗里奥遗址的西澳博物馆担任游客服 务官员超过 11 年。
邝彩玲于2011年入选西澳妇女名人堂，以表彰她过去30年 来在华人社区所做的志愿工作。2018年，她接受中华会馆名誉 历史顾问的任命，并一直担任至今。她一直是向当地遗产或历 史组织提出所有疑问的首选人选，尤其是与华人社区有关的任 何问题。彩玲在西澳对华人历史的持续研究、记录和推广受到 了社会各界的高度评价。
她是中华会馆与澳大利亚国民信托基金会建立关系的关键 人物，特别是在东珀斯公墓发掘中发现的华人夹克的保护项目 中。这一发现有力地证明了华人移民在当时作为社区的一部分 发挥着重要作用。
这家商店实际上于1902年开业，我的父母于1954年接管了它，这是我 们现在称为北桥的最后一个华人杂货店。
第二次世界大战期间，当他们轰炸布鲁姆和其他一些西北城镇时，人 们被疏散，华人要么与珀斯的其他华人居民住在一起，要么住在其他地方。 他们住在中华会馆大楼里，当时堂前还有那个可爱的阳台。其中一些人睡 在阳台上。当中华会馆陷入某种间歇期时，隔壁的商店似乎承担起了照顾 这些老人的角色。因此，我父母的前任所有者就扮演了这个角色，我认为当 我的父母接任时，他们只是继续扮演这些角色。
当时没有中文翻译或医生，所以我父亲会去医院，为需要住院的人做 翻译。我们会写信。嗯，我的父母会写信。如果他们去世时需要正式信件， 妈妈会用打字机把它打出来，我的父母会协助他们料理后事并帮助安排卡 拉卡塔的葬礼事宜。当时，我并没有想太多，但是，是的，我现在回想起来， 我才意识到，是的，他们正不遗余力地帮助社区的华人们。
其中很多人过着一种非常孤独的生活。他们无法回家与家人或其他人 团聚。所以他们会来我父母的商店，基本上是为了与碰巧在那里的其他华 人交往。我们就像是个避难所。所以我认为在某种程度上，这是他们感觉 作为一个家庭的一部分进入我父母的商店的方式，而且仍然有不少华裔老 人在那里度过了他们的最后几天。当时我并没有意识到他们正在等死。
还有黄柱，他是南珀斯最后一个市场园丁，他会开着马车过来，把鼻 袋放在马身上，进来喝杯茶，和我父母坐下来聊天，然后就等着。以便其他 人出现。而且经常会有其他几个人在那里。马儿会站在前面，我站在那里， 只是拍拍马儿，它就是不动。这对我来说太棒了。我父亲后来告诉我，当黄 柱逛完我们的店回家时，很多时候他会很累，他会睡着，马实际上会带他 回到南珀斯的家。

It became a safe space for many, including isolated Chinese labourers and elderly, retired Chinese men who would gather and socialise. When they passed, Kaylene’s parents would organise their funerals and burials.
Northbridge is known for its bustling — and somewhat sketchy — nightlife, but it wasn’t always that way.
Kaylene Poon is a third-generation Chinese Australian and her memories of Northbridge are fond; resembling community spirit and culture.

The Fongs were known to donate money to much-needed causes including the hospitals fund, the red cross, YMCA, War Patriotic Fund and the WA Spitfire Fund.
In a video put together to celebrate The West Australian’s 190th anniversary, Poon reflects on the work her parents did.“At the time, I didn’t think too much of it but I look back now and realise they kind of went out of their way to help people.”
Much like Poon, many Chinese migrants have a rich cultural connection to Northbridge that to this very day, holds a special place in their hearts.

Her parents — John and Winnifred Fong — took over the Hop Hing and Co grocery shop in Northbridge in the 1950s. It was the only Chinese grocery shop on James Street at the time, and it ended up being a lot more than just that.

The Chung Wah Association (CWA) Historical Group formed in 1986, a year after the CWA’s 75th Anniversary Celebration. The group, consisting of descendants of the founders with myself as a coordinator, established a presence within the heritage network and was involved in a variety of projects and events. Later, other people interested in the early history of the Chinese in Western Australia Joined the group.
However, it disbanded in 2010 and Dr YOW Yit Seng took over historical matters within the Association. During his time he made contact with the local descendant of Moon CHOW, the first documented Chinese in the state who landed in 1829. He also presented Chinese History and cultural talks.
Employed within the historical/heritage field was often contacted for advice to present talks on the Chinese in WA. In 2018 I was invited to become the Honorary Historical Advisor for the Association. In this time I curated two photographic exhibitions at the Maritime
Chinese in WA, held at the CWCC Balcatta. Talks were also presented to a variety of local groups ranging from the Jewish Ladies group and Rotary Dalkeith to the 2019 Annual WA Historical Societies Conference in South Perth. This is on the top of the steady stream of enquiries from the public seeking information on a personal or research level.
Recently the CEO of the National Trust of WA contracted me to seek financial support from the community for the conservation of a Chinese Man’s jacket found during the exhumation of several graves from the East Perth Pioneer Cemetery. The CWA together with John HSU rallied the Chinese Community and were able to donate $10,000 towards the project. The remains will be in-interfered in the Karrakatta Cemetery in the near future.
CWA purchased a professional scanner in late 2019 and for several months I was ably assisted by two post-graduate students. However, the Historial group needs reactivation so if you have an interest in history or have strong
中华会馆历史小组成立于1986年，即中华会 馆成立75周年庆典一年后。该团体由创始人的后 裔组成，我作为协调员，在遗产网络中建立了影响 力，并参与了各种项目和活动。后来，其他对西澳 华人早期历史感兴趣的人也加入了这个团体。
然而，该协会于2010年解散，饶逸生博士接管 了协会内部的历史事务。在此期间，他与当地的周 文后裔取得了联系，周文是第一个于1829年登陆 该州的有记载的华人。他还介绍了华人历史和文化 讲座。
经常会联系历史/遗产领域的工作人员，寻求 在西澳举办有关华人的演讲的建议。2018年，我受 邀成为该协会名誉历史顾问。这次我在海事博物馆 策划了两个摄影展，第二个展览将于2021年新冠疫 情结束后开幕。2019 年，我为在中华巴卡达文化中 心举办的西澳华人190周年纪念活动寻找了几位演 讲者。还向各种当地团体进行了演讲，从犹太妇女 团体和Dalkeith扶轮社到南珀斯举行的 2019 年西 澳历史学会年度会议。这是公众寻求个人或研究层 面信息的源源不断的询问的最重要的。
最近，西澳国民信托基金会的首席执行官与 我签订合同，要求我向社区寻求财政支持，以对在 东珀斯先辈公墓挖掘多个坟墓时发现的一件华人 男子夹克进行文物保护工作。中华会馆连同华人公 会会长许锡忠一起凝聚社区力量，为该项目募款捐 赠了10,000澳元。不久的zhi后，发掘出出来的先人 遗体被安迁葬在卡拉卡塔公墓。
中华会馆于2019年底购买了一台专业扫描仪， 几个月来，我得到了两名研究生的得力帮助。然 而，历史小组需要重新启动，因此如果您对历史感 兴趣或具有很强的计算机技能，请联系中华会馆 办公室，因为有很多工作可以激发所有人的兴趣。

The prestigious annual Perth Chinese New Year Fair, organised by the Chung Wah Association was held on Sunday 29 January 2023. The scale of this year’s event is larger than in previous years, and the celebration extended from James and Lake Streets, Northbridge to Yagan Square in the centre of Perth.

Amid the noise of gongs and drums of the Chung Wah Lion and Dragon Dance, the vivid dragon dance cleared the way, sending New Year blessings to everyone and launched the street parade of the
Fair. The teams participating in the parade included several colourful Chinese folk-dance troupes, ladies in cheongsam, Qigong and Tai Chi academies, the lively and lovely“God of Wealth”and“Lucky Rabbit”and finally was the Western Australia Police Pipe Band. The loud but melodious sound of Scottish
bagpipes was unique among the performances. The spectators along the streets took a lot of photographs with their favourite teams or characters for precious memories.
On both sides of James Street, there were multicultural food stalls featuring delicacies form various countries. There were also retailers of clothing, Chinese New Year decorations, game consoles, and scented soaps. Other booths offer community amenities, education, and business information. The Chung Wah Chinese Orchestra and Cantonese Opera presented a three-hour concert in the
undercover“Northbridge Plaza”by James Street. Every hour there was a dragon or lion dance performance on the street, attracting a large crowd of spectators.
The carnival playground on Lake Street and the Murdoch University Cultural Activity Zone situated in the Northbridge Piazza were also very lively and crowded. The rich and colourful cultural workshops provided were paper-cutting and folding, lantern making, Chinese painting, calligraphy, face painting, etc. The interactive workshops or activities were full of fun, which attracted many children and parents to enthusiastically participate in.

Campuses took place on the stage. The performers included Chung Wah Chinese School students, teachers, and members of various community associations. The performances fully demonstrated Chinese’s rich cultural history and contemporary lifestyle. There were also interactive games and competition during the show. Many visitors to the fair were local public dressed in casual outfits and some in traditional costumes. It was indeed a joyous and excellent event for a summer family day out.
At the Yagan Square, the dragon and lion dances as well as Kung Fu performance received a lot of attention from the audience. The wishing tree and the festive decorations were exquisite which provided a lovely background for photo shoots. The large cultural activity tent there provided activities such as face painting,
making Vietnamese spring rolls, calligraphy, fan, and mask making. The different styles of activities were very entertaining and full of fun, as visitors’laughter could be heard in a distance.

By seven o’clock, all the guests moved and seated in front of the main stage for the evening multicultural concert. Surrounding the VIP seats, the lawn was fully occupied by audience waiting patiently for the start of the concert. Although it was crowded, the atmosphere was harmonious and full of joy. The delightful lion dance of Chung Wah Lion and Dance Troupe kicked off the “party”. The formality of the concert started with Dr Ting CHEN, President of Chung Wah Association’s welcome speech followed by Minister Roger Cook MLA on behalf of the Premier. He congratulated the Chinese community on the Chinese New Year and affirmed the positive contributions made by the Chinese community such as the Chung Wah Association to the economic, social, and multicultural development of Western Australia.

On the hot summer afternoon of 29 January 2023, more than 30,000 people flocked to the streets of Northbridge to experience the annual Perth Chinese New Year Fair, organised by Western Australia’s oldest ethnic organisation, the Chung Wah Association.
Event coordinator, Lesley Wong and lion dancer, Harmony O’Connor shared what it is really like behind the scenes at one of the largest and most popular community events in the city.
Despite her fourteen year training in kung fu, Harmony recalled rehearsing with her lion dance partner at Kong Hing Koon Perth, several weeks before the event.
“We’re pretty in sync already, but sometimes it’s just nice to have a little more practice so we’re confident,” she said. For Lesley, the event preparation was more complicated. Her role includes applying for grants, liaising with performers, and recruiting volunteers to ensure that operations go smoothly during the fair.
The majority of volunteers consist of people from China, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as student volunteers from The University of Western Australia.
“I work with people from everywhere, citizens and non-citizens. We wouldn’t be able to do this fair without our volunteers,” Lesley said.
This year’s fair also featured more than
a dozen groups of performers and five different lion dance troupes.
“The fair is very well-known, so it became a big platform for people to perform. Before I could reach out to them, people were already asking to join.”
Lesley, who has helmed the fair for the past six years, refers to the event as the most challenging part of her life. She highlighted the severe heat and the event’s location as her biggest challenges.
“Holding the fair on the street was more difficult because there were more things to be concerned about. There were many rules and requirements, such as deploying hostile vehicle mitigation to make sure the event was safe.”
Harmony also remembered suffering a mishap during her lion dance.
“We did a jump but my partner’s foot got caught in my tail, and she fell on the ground.”
Spontaneity and recovery are crucial in such situations. “You have to expect the unexpected sometimes, and that’s not easy. We got up and just kept going.”
Despite the challenges they faced, both Harmony and Lesley said taking part in the fair is mainly about enjoying time with their respective chosen families.
“It’s just super fun. I like the sense of community that it provides,” Harmony said. Family harmony and strong social relations are the core cultural values of the Chinese New Year celebrations.
“To me, it’s not just a kung fu school. It’s a family. There’s a lot of respect within that, which makes it a really good environment.”
Lesley shared the same sentiment. “Working in Chung Wah is like working with good friends. It’s a friendship, not just work,” she said.

1月29日炎热的夏日午后，超过 三万人涌入北桥街头，参加由西澳大 利亚历史最悠久的民族组织中华会馆 举办的年度的珀斯农历新年文化节。
1月29日炎热的夏日午后，超过 30,000 人涌入北桥街头，参加由西澳大利亚历史 最悠久的民族组织中华会馆举办的一年一 度的珀斯农历新年集市。
尽管接受了十四年的功夫训 练，Harmony仍回忆起在活动开始前几周与 她的舞狮伙伴在珀斯港兴馆排练的情景。
“我们已经非常同步了，但有时多练习 一点也很好，这样我们就有信心了，”她说。
对莱斯利来说，活动准备更为复杂。
她的职责包括申请赠款、与表演者联络以 及招募志愿者以确保展会期间的运营顺利 进行。
大多数志愿者包括来自中国、新加 坡、马来西亚、香港和台湾的人，以及来自 西澳大利亚大学的学生志愿者。
“我与来自世界各地的人一起工作，包 括公民和非公民。没有我们的志愿者，我 们将无法举办这个展会，”莱斯利说。
今年的博览会还展出了十几组表演者 和四个不同的舞狮团。
“博览会的知名度很高，所以它成了人 们表演的大平台。在我联系他们之前，人们 已经要求加入了。”
“这是我生命中最具挑战性的部分”
莱斯利在过去六年里一直掌管着这个 博览会，她将这次活动称为她生命中最具 挑战性的部分。
“在街上做比较困难，因为有更多需要 关注的事情。有很多规则和要求，例如部 署敌对车辆缓解措施以确保活动安全。”
Harmony还记得她在舞狮时遭遇的 不幸。她接着说：“我们跳了下去，但我搭 档的脚被我的尾巴夹住了，她摔倒在地。”
在这种情况下，自发性和恢复性至关 重要。“有时候你必须预料到意想不到的事 情，这并不容易。我们站起来继续前进。”
尽管面临挑战，Harmony 和 Lesley 都表示参加博览会主要是为了与各自选择 的家庭共度时光。
“这非常有趣。我喜欢它提供的社区 感，”Harmony 说。
家庭和睦和牢固的社会关系是中国新 年庆祝活动的核心文化价值。
“对我来说，这不仅仅是一所功夫学 校。这是一个家庭。里面有很多尊重，这 使它成为一个非常好的环境。”
莱斯利也有同样的看法。“在中华工作 就像和好朋友一起工作。这是一种友谊， 而不仅仅是工作，”她说。
我们在一起 就是一家人。
he so-called“offending the Taisui”means that the Chinese zodiac sign of the year is the same as those of the current year, opposing or executing each other. People call these three situations“offending the Taisui.”According to tradition, there are as many as 60 Taisui Gods, and each year a deity takes charge of the earthly affairs of the year, and the God in charge is called Taisui.
This is also the first year to resume international travel after the pandemic. Many de-registered residents who immigrated overseas must return to Taiwan to renew their health insurance and household registration. The overall number of people in Taiwan has increased, so the number visiting the temple is also quite large.
所谓「犯太岁」，意指一个人出生年 份的生肖与流年的生肖相同、相冲或相 刑，民间统称这三种情况为犯太岁。根据 传统习俗来说，太岁共有六十位之多，每 年都有一位神明掌权当年的凡间事务，而 当值的神明就称作太岁。
“It is either happiness or a disaster if you are in the Taisui year.”According to the custom of committing the year of Taisui, those whose turns are in the Taisui year may have a hard time or bad luck and possibly more challenges in their career, life and health. In the early years, people set up an altar to worship the statue of the Taisui God throughout the year to avoid evil and bad luck and pray for peace and safety; however nowadays, people go to the temple to worship Taisui because of the changing lifestyles.
In addition to worshiping the Taisui God, people like to“BuaBuei”and“draw the fortune slips”in the temple. Due to the influence of folk belief, many people will go to the temple to ask the gods for advice and instructions when they have problems in their life and career, and the most common ways to“have a conversation with God”are“Bua-Buei”and“draw the fortune slips”to get the answers.
「太岁当头坐，无喜恐有祸。」根据 犯太岁的习俗来说，犯冲的人可能会流年 不利，或百事不顺，事业多困厄，身体多 病变。而早期安太岁是在家中摆设太岁神 位，晨昏供奉一年，不过由于现代人生活 忙碌，大多会到庙里安太岁，以趋吉避 凶，祈求来年平安，诸事顺遂。
今年也是疫情后第一年恢复出入境， 许多被除籍的海外移民今年也必须回到台 湾恢复健保及户籍，整体在台的人数大 增，因此安太岁的人数也是相当多，希望 新的一年平安顺遂。
除了安太岁以外，人们在庙宇里也喜 欢掷筊和抽签。由于受到民间信仰的影 响，许多人在生活中、职场上遇到问题 时，都会到庙里请神明给予建议和指示， 最常见的「问事」方式不外乎就是「掷 筊」、「抽签」两种，透过这两种「与神 明的对话」而得到答案。
After the opening of Danshui Port in 1860, Dadaocheng became Taipei’s most prosperous material distribution centre, mainly trading tea and cloth. The tea trade in Dadaocheng, under the leadership of foreign firms, expanded the market and created tremendous wealth and prosperity. The streetscape appearance is the
II, Dadaocheng gradually lost its function as a river port due to the sediment accumulation of the Danshui River. The popularity of Taiwanese tea gradually declined due to the emerging competition of Ceylon black tea. Since then, the downtown area of Taipei City has shifted to the East district, and a large number of people have moved out. Dadaocheng then became the skirt area of Taipei City.
coexistence of various styles, such as Minnan style, Baroque-like style, Modernism styl, and Mansion style, forming the unique appearance of today’s Di Hua Street. After the Japanese colonisation era, Japanese businessmen resisted the influences of foreign firms and turned to the markets in Japan and Southeast Asia. Tea shops and imported goods mainly operated on Di Hua Street during that period. After that, the rice industry, cloth and Chinese herbs and medicine also entered the markets and gradually became influential. Nowadays, Di Hua Street is still the core of the Dadaocheng area. However, after World War
In the 1970s, the old buildings on Di Hua Street were subject to the local government’s redevelopment plan due to their disrepair. Since the redevelopment plan was announced, residents and businesses have fought to protect historical sites. In 1995, Di Hua Street finally ushered in a new dedicated area plan - New Year Goods Street.
In 1996, the “New Year Goods Street” plan was officially launched, based on residents’ opinions. From the half month before Lunar New Year, businesses started selling all kinds of gifts and food for the New Year. Due to the unique festival decorations, peddling culture and novel publicity techniques, the “New Year Goods Street” was very popular as soon as it was launched, and the crowds surged. This plan made Di Hua Street become the most festive street in Taiwan.
Taking a comprehensive view of the historical context of Dadaocheng, Di Hua Street is not only a commercial centre but also the core of Taiwanese culture and ethnicity development.
1860年淡水开港后，大稻埕成为台北 最繁华的物资集散中心，以茶叶与布料的 贸易为主。大稻埕的茶叶贸易在洋行的带 领下，不仅市场扩大，更造就惊人的财富 与繁荣。街景外观更是多种风格并存，像 是闽南式、仿巴洛克式、现代主义式、洋 楼式，形成今日迪化街的特殊面貌。进入 日治时期后日商抵制洋行势力，转而以日 本与东南亚为主要市场。日治时期，迪化 街先是以经营茶行、南北货为主，之后米 业、布匹、中药材也进驻其中、逐渐占有 一席之地，至今，迪化街仍是大稻埕商圈 的核心。然而，二战之后大稻埕因淡水河 泥沙堆积而逐渐失去河港功能，且台产茶 叶不敌锡兰红茶的竞争而逐渐没落。之后 台北市区向东发展、人口大量外移，大稻 埕成为台北市外围的老旧市区。
1970年代，迪化街的老旧建筑由于年 久失修而面临地政府的都更计划。自此， 当地居民及商家不断地向政府争取古迹保 护，直到1995年，终于迎来了新的专用区 计划—年货大街。
1996年，以在地居民意见为主的「 年货大街」计划正式出炉，在农历春节前 半个月，各商家贩卖各种过年的礼品、食 物。由于独特的年节装饰、叫卖文化和新 颖的宣传手法，让「年货大街」一推出就 大受欢迎，人潮汹涌，各地争相模仿，也 让迪化街成为了全台湾最有年味的老街。
综观大稻埕的历史脉络，迪化街除了 是商业重地，也是台湾文化与民族发展的 核心。
The Lantern Festival has been a tradition of the Chinese culture. In 1990, the Taipei City Government officially included the Lantern Festival as one of the city’s main activities for the first time and held the first Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival, formerly known as the Taipei Lantern Festival, is held once a year and is the most important lantern fair in Taiwan. In the early days, the venue was fixed in the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall in Taipei. Since 2001, it has been changed to the Taiwan Lantern Festival, which is held by different cities in turn. The combination of local folk style, design and the music of the main lantern has become the focus of the lantern festival every year.
After 23 years, the Taiwan Lantern Festival has finally returned to Taipei. The Taiwan Lantern Festival 2023 is the first major international event in Taiwan since the outbreak of COVID-19. The theme of the fair is “Light up the Future”, which adopts the “urban light fair” style within Taipei’s dense metropolitan area.
This Festival created 4 exhibition areas, and 12 lighting districts are planned, covering a total area of 168 hectares. More than 300 pieces of lighting works were displayed. With the combination of projection, AR and VR technology, modern lighting technology were integrated into Taipei’s prosperous street scene! In addition, performers from different countries were invited to the opening and closing ceremonies of the festival, bringing wonderful multicultural performances to this event.
In addition to the students’works on display, 26 overseas organisations contributed the lanterns this year, which is the largest number in the record. Among them, St. Christopher and Nevis, Belize, Guam, St. Lucia, Indonesia, Daegu, Shanghai and 19 enthusiastic Japanese cities supported the lanterns. Each organisation incorporated its unique cultural characteristics into the lighting design. It’s like an exotic and beautiful feast of lights, attracting crowds. By the end of the festival, more than 12 million people visited the exhibition in 19 days.
自古至今，元宵花灯都是华人文化传统。1990年，台北市政府首次将灯会活 动正式纳入城市主要活动之一，举办了首届元宵节灯会。灯会原以「台北灯会」 之名，每年举办一次，是为台湾最重要灯会活动。早期场地皆固定于台北市中正 纪念堂，从2001年起改为全国各地巡回举办的台湾灯会，由各县市轮流主办，各 地乡土民情与花灯、主灯配乐的结合成为每年灯会的焦点。
历经二十三年后「台湾灯会」终于重返台北！今年的灯会更是疫情解封后的 第一场国际大型活动，灯会主题「光源台北 Light up the Future」，首创在台北 密集都会区打造「城市型灯会」。这次台北灯会打造4大展区，更规划了12个行政 灯区，占地面积共168公顷，展出逾300件的灯饰作品，更结合投影、AR、VR科 技，将现代灯光科技融入台北市的繁荣街景！灯会的开幕及闭幕典礼，更邀请到 不同国家的表演者，为灯会带来精彩的多元文化传统表演。
今年的花灯，除了学生的展出作品，还有26个海外单位响应，为历年最多， 其中包含圣克里斯多福及尼维斯、伯利兹、关岛、圣卢西亚、印度尼西亚、大 邱、上海及热情的19个日本城市支持，每个单位都将独有的文化特色融入灯饰设 计中，彷佛一场异国的美丽灯光飨宴，吸引许多民众驻足围观。十九天的灯会展 出，共迎来逾1,200万人到访观赏。

On Wednesday, 4 April 2023, Chinese Community Leaders paid their respects to the pioneers at the Chinese section of the Karrakatta Cemetery, for the annual Tomb-Sweeping Festival of Qing Ming. The ceremony was officiated by Ting CHEN, President of the Chung Wah Association.
Preparations started early in the morning, with a tidying up of the area. Weeding and dusting were done to the main site, and tables
were set up for the offerings, which included a variety of food, fruits, flowers, joss paper, candles and incense.
John HSU, President of the Chinese Community Centre, commenced the ceremony by explaining the purpose of the gathering, the traditional value of filial piety and Qing Ming customs. This was followed by presenting the offerings of food, incense, tea and wine, and concluded with the burning of joss paper.
Ting CHEN also thanked everyone for attending and emphasised the importance of
remembering our roots. Firecrackers were lit to conclude the ceremony and incense was placed at all tombs in the area as a sign of respect. The congregation then proceeded to share the food and refreshments..
In addition to paying respect to the ancestors, this meaningful festival also provides a chance to connect to our roots by understanding the history of our Chinese pioneers in Western Australia. Chung Wah Association appreciates the community’s efforts, especially John HSU and his team for continuing this excellent tradition.

不久前和妈妈视频时说起买了一块非常棒的五花肉，妈妈就说 好的五花肉应该拿来做控肉，去台湾玩时最让她念念不忘的美食 之一就是控肉。

2. 把 平底锅或镬热好，直接把五花肉入锅两面稍微煎 黄，煎至出油即可把肉取出放到锅里。
3. 平底锅里的油留着，把青葱、红葱头和八角入平底 锅里煸炒一下，加入一大勺的糖，把糖炒至琥珀色 之后，往锅里倒入1大杯水。把炒好的材料和水一 起倒入刚刚放有肉块的锅里。

6. 45分钟之后加入豆干和蛋，这个时候可以加盐调味。加盖 中小火再炖45-60分钟即可，间中可以试试味道，不够咸可以 加点盐或者酱油。
7. 炖 肉的时候可以把配菜酸菜炒好，把买来的酸菜泡水10-15分钟，洗净后 切成1公分大小。
8. 锅里 加一点控肉锅里炖出来的油，把姜片和辣椒干煸炒香，把酸菜加入煸炒至水份变 干。间中可以再加一点控肉油和汤汁，加点水和糖稍微焖煮5分钟即可。

On31st January, Chung Wah Community Care (Chung Wah CC) hosted its 11th annual chinese new year longevity Luncheon at the Balcatta Hub. We were honoured to invite the Minister for Regional Development; Disability Services; Fisheries; Seniors and Ageing, Honorable Don Punch MLC and City of Stirling Mayor Mark Irwin to celebrate this year’s Chinese New Year with us.
Improving the quality of life for people from diverse backgrounds is one of our core missions. Our guests had the opportunity to share the journey with our seniors as they enjoy life with dignity and respect. They constantly learn and try new things through our nurturing and educational Evergreen College. Over time, they have boosted their inner sense of belonging and are better involved in community life through our services and high-quality programs. They proudly say: “Australia is my home!”
We kicked off our Longevity Luncheon with some upbeat music and welcomed the cat and rabbit mascots to the centre stage. In 2023, the Lunar New Year is the Year of the Rabbit for the Chinese. It is also the Year of the Cat for the Vietnamese. Although there is a slight cultural difference between both cat and rabbit, we all celebrate the festival with joy regardless of what you call this Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year or Spring Festival. We wish you a healthy and prosperous year. May all your wishes be fulfilled.
Australia is truly a multicultural nation that embraces diversity. Being a part of this great nation also means extending contributions to the communities through environmental conservation. Our Fashion Show enabled our seniors to showcase the best version of themselves by displaying their distinctive cultural clothing. They took to the stage with great confidence and enjoyed the golden era of their time. Protecting our environment is everyone’s responsibility. Our seniors used the 3R concept - Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle to embellish their clothing.
Our guests enjoyed the stunning display of lion dances and roaring drums performances and collected red packet donations for those in need. This year, the donations will be contributed to the people affected by the Kimberley flood disaster. The CEO of Chung Wah CC, Mrs. Theresa KWOK, also encouraged the seniors to show support and care to those in need. Together, let’s help them rebuild their community. Thanks for all the planning and hard work by our staff and volunteers, and a special thanks to the performing groups, consumers, staff and volunteers for this year’s stunning performances.
The Chung Wah Association has been servicing the WA community since 1909, dedicated to improving the quality of life of individuals from diverse backgrounds. Moreover, Chung Wah CC has over 35 years of professional care experience helping seniors and people with disability improve
their well-being and better integrate into the community. In 2023, we’re promoting our theme, Embrace, Elevate and Flourish, and build a better community for all.

1I am getting married in about six months and want to look the best for my big day. A few friends have suggested that I go on a Keto diet to lose more weight, as they have been quite successful with that. As a 31 year old female, I exercise regularly and think that I have a balanced diet with no health complications. Should I try a Keto diet to be able to look better in my wedding gown?
There are multiple ways to lose weight for your wedding. Firstly, you need to look into having a balanced diet to control your calorie intake. Secondly, you need a consistent aerobic exercise routine that burns your calorie intake. Thirdly, you must look into exercises that tone up your body to your desired body shape. And if you are ever stuck with weight loss, consider visiting a dietician and personal trainer to develop a program to achieve your target. There are benefits and possible complications that come with the ketone diet. Therefore, if you are keen to try the ketone weight loss program, you can do so on a short term basis to see how it helps you with your weight loss.
2 I recently discovered that my hair gets brittle and breaks. I tried to change to a milder formula shampoo and conditioner, but it didn’t help much. Is it possible that it is due to a lack of nutrients? A friend says it’s unavoidable due to the water quality in WA; is that true?
If you notice that your hair is constantly breaking easily, you can visit your doctor to rule out a medical cause. Then if there is no medical cause discovered, you can start investigating your diet, vitamin supplements, hair products, stress level and overall well-being. Many hair and skin vitamin supplements are easily found in any pharmacy to assist with this matter. If you are worried about water quality, you can always buy bottled water or drink boiled water to see if it improves your hair. However, studies have yet to establish a correlation between hair loss and water intake.
3I often get motion sickness, and it is worse on flights. Besides motion sickness medication, recommended by my pharmacist, is there any natural way to train myself (i.e. yoga or massage) that allows me to be less dependent on medication?
If you are severely affected by motion sickness, taking nausea medication may help. Otherwise, you can try meditation, eating food or drinks that help distract you, or practising yoga or stretches on the airplane. If this doesn’t help, you may need to minimise the need to fly.

Is coffee the cause or cure for headaches? Recently I was trying to cut down my coffee intake, as I suspected the caffeine was causing heart palpitations. The headache occurred right during the week I paused my coffee consumption. A friend also informed me that moderate consumption of coffee is not harmful, but is suitable for middle-aged people. I would like an alternative option from Dr Mira. (Male, 45 years old)
It is hard to know if coffee can reduce headaches. But it is common that if you have suddenly ceased drinking coffee, some people may experience caffeine withdrawal symptoms, including the sudden onset of a headache. Also with caffeine, it can fasten your heart rate depending on your body’s sensitivity. Therefore, if you love to drink coffee daily, it is ok to have a mild to moderate amount. It will still minimise the risk of caffeinerelated palpitations and caffeine withdrawal headaches. If you want to know more about how it affects your body, visiting the dietician may help you.

I often get bruises or scars, even with the slightest knock. It doesn’t cause much pain, but it’s pretty uncomfortable. My mum told me it is common in the family, especially during her younger years. Is this a nutrient deficiency issue? Or a broader genetic topic that I should be more concerned about as I prepare to get pregnant? (Female, early 30s)
If you are noticing yourself getting more bruises and scars than normal, it is crucial to get it investigated. Genetics may play a part in it, but you must ensure you have a check-up with your doctor to rule out medical causes. When you are preparing to have a baby, the doctor would have to order a blood test that includes a check-up on platelet function. Hence, if you are worried, it is vital to go and have a checkup done to rule out any medical cause for it.
6 I constantly suffer from fatigue, feeling exhausted every day on my drive home after work. I don’t think it is due to my workload as I work part-time, nor am I sleep-deprived as I go to bed at 9pm. Drinking green tea helps me, but it only gets me through the working hours. Is this a sign from my body that I should get a comprehensive checkup? My family has a history of cancer, as my cousin had Leukemia before he passed. (Male, 35 years old)
Tiredness can be caused by multiple reasons. It can be due to a lack of energy, lack of food intake, excessive workload, emotional fatigue, and possible medical causes. Hence, when you start to experience tiredness over a few weeks, you must look into different aspects of your life, your work, your daily activities and your emotional well-being to identify the potential cause. Therefore, it is essential to go and see your doctor for a medical checkup to ensure no actual medical reason is found for this. And if there is a medical cause found, then it is important to sort it out with your doctor to treat the condition. If there is no medical cause for your tiredness, you will need to look into improving your overall energy levels by increasing your exercise, having a balanced diet, a flexible reduced workload and time for improving your overall mental wellness by having some relaxation time and doing activities such as yoga or meditation.

1我的婚礼将在六个月后举行，我希 望能够漂漂亮亮的当个最美的新 娘子。我的好友都建议我尝试生酮饮食 来减重，因为他们都成功瘦身。身为一 名31岁的女性，我时常保持运动并饮食 均衡，没有任何健康上的问题。我是否 应该尝试生酮饮食，让我更能以最纤细 的体态来穿上我的婚纱？
想要在婚禮上擁有美麗的身材，您可以有多種 方法去實現。首先，您需要研究如何能有均衡飲 食控制卡路里攝入。其次，您需要擁有能夠持之 以恆的有氧運動，把您每天攝取的卡路里消耗 掉。第三，您需要研究哪些運動鍛鍊能雕朔您 想要的身材。如果您需要專業人員協助，可以安 排營養師和體能培訓師幫您設計身型雕朔飲食 運動企劃案，來實現您的目標。有更多關於生酮 飲食有利有弊，還需要多點研究分析。您若想嘗 試生酮肥計劃，可以短期試試看這種減肥方法 對您個人有否改善。
2 我最近发现发丝变得很脆弱，尤 其在我洗澡的时候断裂。我已经 尝试替换我是用的洗发和润发素，但 是却不见改善。这是否是因为我体内 缺乏了那些营养素，需要透过保健品来 补充？有朋友说是因为西澳洲的水质 不好，这是无法避免的，这是否真的属 实？
當您注意到您的頭髮長期性容易折斷時，您可 以去看全科醫生做身體檢查排除造除身體疾病 造成掉髮。如果沒有發現任何疾病造成掉髮， 您可以開始調查您的飲食、維生素補充劑、護 髮產品、本身壓力和整體健康狀況。在任何藥 房都可以輕鬆找到許多頭髮和皮膚維生素補 充劑來增加身體健康改善髮質。如果您擔心水 質，可以試著購買瓶裝水，或煮熟的白開水，看 看改善水的攝取是否能改善脫髮。然而，脫髮 與硬水攝入之間的相關性更多研究報告去探索 其影響力。

我很容易就会出现头晕的症状，尤 其是在乘搭飞机的时候。除了惯常 我从药剂师那里可以购买到的晕车药 之外，请问是否有何种天然防晕眩的自 我锻炼（例如：瑜伽、或自我按摩）的方 式来让我减少对于药物的依赖？
如果您做飛機會有嚴重暈機，您有需要帶止暈 藥去改善這個症狀。如果你的暈機症狀也可以 嘗試冥想、進食或喝水來幫助您分散注意力。 當然您也可以在飛機上練習瑜伽或伸展運動。 最壞的情況,您可以考慮盡量減少飛行。
是解药？我最近因为觉得咖啡因
但是在我停止饮用咖啡的开始的那一 周头痛就开始了。我的朋友跟告诉我说 适量的咖啡对于中年人无害且有好处。 请问我是否可以征求米拉医生的见解？ （45岁男性）
咖啡是否能改善頭痛可能需要更多研究去了解 其影響立。但如果您突然間停止喝咖啡，有些人 可能會因此出現咖啡因中斷症狀，包括突然頭 痛。此外，咖啡因本身有可能會加速心率。具體 其影響力取決於您的身體對咖啡的敏感度。如 果您喜歡喝咖啡，可以調一下咖啡的攝取量，去 降低過度咖啡因攝取引起的心悸，也可以減少 咖啡攝取中斷所引起的頭痛症狀。如果您想更 多地了解咖啡如何影響您的身體，拜訪營養師 可能會幫助您增強對這方面的了解。
5 我时常发现身上出现小瘀青或伤 疤，就算是非常轻微的碰撞。它并 不构成任何疼痛，但是看起来很不雅 观。我母亲告诉我说家族里这很平常， 她年轻时候也是如此。请问这是否是我 的体内缺乏某种元素？还是这是我更 应该注意的的遗传性因素、尤其是我正 备孕中？(30出头的女性） 您如果發現自己的瘀傷和疤痕比平時還要平凡 發作，您最好還是需要做檢查。有些人有可能 會遺傳到容易瘀青和結疤的身體體質。但您需 要找您的全科醫生去進行檢查以排除疾病引 起的症狀。當您準備計劃生育時，全科醫生通 常會做非常完善的驗血檢查其中有包括血小板 功能。因此，如果您擔心這些症狀，請務必去 做檢查。
6 我一直感觉疲惫，尤其是在下班开 车回家的时候更是筋疲力尽。我不 觉得这是源自我的工作、因为我只是兼 职工作；也不认为是我睡眠不足、因为 我有早睡的习惯。平时喝绿茶只能勉强 让我保持清醒度过上班时间。请问这是 否是我身体发出的警讯，需要我进行彻 底的全身检查？我的家族是有癌症的 病史、我的表哥就是因为白血病而离世 的。(35岁男，研究助理）
引起疲勞的原因引有很多種。如精力不足、食物 攝入不足、工作量過大、情緒疲勞以及疾病造成 的疲勞。所以當您感覺疲勞已經有好幾個禮拜 了，您要開從生活、工作、日常活動和情緒健康 的不同方面進行調查，以確定潛在原因。除此 之外，您需要去醫生那裡做體檢看是否有疾病 引起的疲勞，既而進行治療改善。如果您的疲倦 不是疾病引起的，您可以考慮做些生活的調整： 如增加運動來提高整體能量、如擁有均衡飲 食、如靈活減少工作量以及學習放鬆心情，做些 瑜珈或打坐冥想來改善整體心理健康。
If you would like Dr Mira to answer your medical question, email it to editor@chungwah.org.au before 11 August 2023

These are mainly mRNA vaccines, as other platforms are not able to produce bivalent vaccines as quickly. We are therefore relying on Moderna and Pfizer (50% ancestral strains plus 50% Omicron BA4 and 5) as a booster at this stage. They are produced in the US during their winter months, which is very relevant to the Australia booster program (1)
In terms of the seasonal influenza vaccine, the 2023 formulation has been released. It is very hard to predict the vaccination timing because we had an early and high season last year, hence it is recommended to look to your primary care physician to get your free flu vaccine if you are eligible (2). COVID vaccines can be administered at the same time as influenza vaccines to optimise protection with both.
Moving on to the different vaccines including Monkeypox (Mpox) and Japanese Encephalitis (JE). At this stage, there has been good control of the Mpox outbreak through vaccination. The vaccine is free-of-charge, more information is available in the link below (3). After the Murray-Darling flood, JE is no longer confined to just Asia and far-northern Australia. A lot of mosquitoes were born carrying the JE virus last year, however, not many cases have been identified this year. Vigilance is still extremely important in terms of minimising mosquitoes and protection through the JE vaccine, especially for those who are travelling to high-risk areas (4)
Lastly, the triple combo vaccine - a new Moderna vaccine combining three dangerous respiratory viruses such as COVID-19, the flu, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) will hopefully be available to the public very quickly in one to two years time (5, 6)

进入 COVID-19 大流行的第四个年 头，现已开发出不同类型的双价 疫苗，并免费向澳大利亚公众提供。
这些主要是 mRNA 疫苗，因为其他平台无 法快速生产二价疫苗。因此，我们在此阶段依 靠 Moderna 和辉瑞（50% 祖先菌株加上 50% Omicron BA4 和 5）作为助推剂。它们是在美 国冬季生产的，这与澳大利亚疫苗推助计划(1) 非 常相关。
季节性流感疫苗方面，2023年的特种疫苗 已经出炉。因为我们去年流感提早降临和迅速大 规模感染，所以今年对疫苗接种时间很难进行预 测，因此如果您属于资格类别
(2)，建议您找您的 初级保健医生免费接种流感疫苗。Covid 疫苗 可以与流感疫苗同时接种，以优化两者的保护作 用。
继续介绍不同的可接种疫苗，这包括猴 痘 (Mpox) 和日本脑炎 (JE)。在这个阶段，通过 接种疫苗已经很好地控制了Mpox的爆发。如 需更多信息，请访问以下链接，疫苗是免费的(3) 。Murray-Darling 洪水过后，乙脑不再局限于 亚洲和澳大利亚北部地区。去年有很多携带乙脑 病毒的蚊子出生，但今年发现的病例并不多。就 减少蚊子和通过乙脑疫苗进行保护而言，我们仍 然需保持警惕，尤其是对于那些前往高风险地区 旅行的人(4)。
最后，三联疫苗——一种新的 Moderna 疫 苗结合了三种危险的呼吸道病毒，如 COVID-19 、流感和呼吸道合胞病毒 (RSV)，有望在一到两 年内迅速向公众提供 (5, 6)。

Menopause is biologically a natural process marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years. Hormones such as estrogen and progesterone will begin to decline in the early stages of menopause, and the ovaries in the uterus will begin to cease the production of hormones that trigger sexual desire. As ovulation stops, so does menstruation. Women experiencing menopause have a decline of estrogen in their body, followed by a series of menopausal symptoms and aging. It could even induce some diseases, hence people refer to menopause as “eventful autumn”. Common symptoms of menopause include hot flushing of the face, night sweats, chest tightness, poor breathing, irritability or depression, dry and sagging skin, osteoporosis, muscle and joint pain, insomnia, memory loss and constipation.
How can women maintain their health during menopause and even after menopause? Here are just a few suggestions from the perspective of Chinese medicine.
1. It is essential to overcome fear and frustration during menopause. Emotional problems are one of the main and most common symptoms of menopause. We must understand that menopause is a part of the life experience of a woman. Let’s face and accept it calmly, and readjust the psychological balance, you can allow menopause to occur naturally, and even start the “second Spring” of life.
2. After women enter menopause, their metabolic activity decreases, and the calories and energy they need are relatively reduced. It is easy to gain weight if the diet stays the same. Therefore, the quantity of food intake should be appropriately reduced, and maintain a varied and fresh, light diet.
3. Doing some exercise every day and cultivating one or two interests to stimulate the brain can help slow down aging. It is recommended that you walk more than 40 minutes a day, preferably while swinging your arms and do some health exercises related to meridian points (such as the “rejuvenation health exercise” that can be found on YouTube).
4. Appropriate calcium and vitamin D supplementation under the guidance of a doctor. After women enter menopause, estrogen decreases, and they are prone to osteoporosis. Therefore, under the guidance of a doctor, supplement the appropriate amount of calcium and vitamin D.
5. Taking some Chinese medicine symptomatically under the guidance of a TCM practitioner has a good effect on helping to alleviate some symptoms of menopause. For example, for emotional problems, you can consider using Chinese medicines such as Xiaoyaoshan, flavored Xiaoyao pills, and Chaihu liver pills. For insomnia, hot flushes and night sweats, you can choose Shengmai San, Zhibai Dihuang Pills, Ganmai Jujube Pills and Tranquility Pills. The selection of Chinese medicine must be carried out under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner.
6. It is also important to have regular self-examinations or professional breast examinations to prevent the development of breast cancer.
女性一般在45 - 55岁之间会进入更年期， 更年期指的是月经即将结束的前、后时期。更年 期在生物学上是自然过程，代表女性生育能力终 止。在更年期前期，雌性激素、黄体素等相对应 的荷尔蒙会开始下降，子宫里的卵巢开始停止产 生性激素。随着排卵停止，月经也会跟着终止。 女性到了更年期，身体雌激素下降，会出现一系 列更年期的症状和衰老的现象，甚至会诱发一些 疾病的产生，因此人们常把更年期称为“多事之 秋”。更年期常见的症状包括脸部发热潮红、盗 汗、胸口闷、呼吸不顺、情绪烦躁或抑郁、皮肤干 燥松弛、骨质疏松、肌肉关节痛、失眠、记忆力减 退、便秘等。
绝经后进入更年期的女性如何保养呢？在 这里仅从中医的角度提几点建议。
一．克服对进入更年期的恐惧和沮丧的心理 是至关重要的。因为更年期最主要、最常见的症 状之一就是情绪问题。要明白更年期是女性人生 必须要经历的生命历程，坦然地面对和接受，重 新调整好心理上的平衡，就能安然度过更年期， 甚至可以开始人生的”第二春“。
二．女性进入更年期后，新陈代谢活动降 低，需要的热量和能量也就相对地减少了。如果 还是和以前一样的饮食，就容易长胖。所以饮食 量要适当地减少，而且要保持清淡一些的食物。 饮食要多样化、要吃得新鲜。 三．每天做一些合适的运动，并培养自己 一、两种兴趣，来刺激大脑兴奋，可以帮助减缓 衰老。推荐大家每天坚持有40分钟以上的时间 来走路、甩手，和做一些有关经络穴位的养生操 （例如在YouTube里可以找到的 “回春医疗保健 操”等）。
四．在医生的指导下适当补充钙和维他命 D。女性进入更年期后，雌激素减少，易产生骨质 疏松症。所以要在医生的指导下，补充适量的钙 和维他命D。
五．在中医师的指导下对症服用一些中药， 对帮助减轻更年期的一些症状，具有较好的效 果。比如，对于情绪问题，可考虑选用逍遥散、加 味逍遥丸、柴胡疏肝丸等中成药。对于失眠、潮 热盗汗问题，可以选用生脉散、知柏地黄丸、甘 麦大枣丸和安神定志丸等等。选用中药一定要在 中医师的指导下进行。
六．经常自检和定期检查乳房，预防乳腺 癌，这也是很重要的。
