一念心生活(三)邱碧緞A story of love and commitment


Next we travel to Nantou (南投), Taiwan, to learn the story of Tzu Chi volunteers Liu Guozhang(劉國璋) and Qiu Biduan(邱碧緞). Several years ago, the elderly couple turned part of their orange tree orchard, into a community recycling station. There, the couple could be found everyday, sorting the recyclables that were brought in from around the community. Unfortunately in May of this year, Liu Guozhang(劉國璋) suffered a stroke that left him without the ability to talk or even walk. Thus, Qiu Biduan(邱碧緞) quit her job to take care of her husband full time, and even considered closing down their recycling station. However, local volunteers stepped in, to run the station in the couples` absence and are awaiting the day when Liu(劉) can come home and once again work in his beloved recycling station. Here`s more on this touching story of love and commitment.

接著來到臺灣,南投的慈濟志工夫妻檔劉國璋和邱碧緞,數年前把自家的柳丁園改建成社區環保站,天天牽手做環保,處理在社區收集來的回收,但不幸的是今年五月,先生在環保站中風,失去語言能力,也無法行走,太太辭去工作,成了先生二十四小時的看護,甚至想要結束自家的環保站,但慈濟法親的代替他們繼續環保站的作業,耐心等候劉國璋康復,回到環保站繼續付出,一起來看看這則感人的報導。

廣東普寧環保Great first experience



Moving to China, every month, Guangdong`s(廣東) Puning(普寧) Tzu Chi volunteers hold a recycling day, not only to keep the planet clean, but also as an opportunity to recruit more recycling volunteers to join their cause. This month`s recycling day saw 32 volunteers participate, and over 60 percent of them were first-timers. Although new at categorizing recyclables, everyone enjoyed the experience and even vowed to keep up with the practice once back home.

在中國廣東普寧市志工,每個月都會利用環保日做環保,也進行菩薩大招生,像這個月來做環保的32位志工中,就有六成都是新手,雖然都是第一次做環保,但都做得非常開心,還說會將環保觀念帶回自己的家中落實。
