一念心生活(四)黃金月


In Taichung, Taiwan, lives a husband and wife pair, both of whom suffer from life threatening diseases. Facing the pain and inconvenience of their respective illnesses, instead of supporting each other through this difficult time, they grew farther apart. Fortunately, Tzu Chi came into their lives, bringing the couple together once again through love, wisdom and the power of recycling.

在久病的情況下,婚姻通常都會受到考驗,面對身體的病痛和經濟困難,再恩愛的夫妻情感都會動搖。在臺灣台中有對貧病相依的夫妻,夫妻倆都罹患重病,太太關節病變,先生罹患口腔癌和糖尿病,夫妻倆都陷入病痛折磨,兩人非但沒有相互扶持,反而漸行漸遠,幸好慈濟志工走入他們的生活,讓這對夫婦重新認識愛,更有智慧走在環保路上。

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。
