農曆新年喜氣洋洋，
回首過去巴黎亞裔華人
新年遊行時
大街小巷熱鬧非凡 ，
人人笑開懷。
美好時光已成追憶。
此時此刻
只有柳絮般的雪花隨風飄浮。
Lunar New Year is beaming.
As I look back
the streets and alleys were very lively.
Asian Chinese, everyone was smiling
during the New Year's parade.
The good time has become a remembrance.
At this moment
only snowflakes like beautiful catkins
floating in the wind.
記得幼時每個農歷除夕
大清早就陪媽去買年貨。
整天都在忙碌。
有趣的是搓糯米球
在芝麻上滾動一番
隨即放入油鍋⋯
小圓球澎漲了一倍大
像是變魔術 !
從早忙到晚，
然而媽說比起昔日
老一輩的人所作的
這算是簡約了。
美麗的糖盒，
冬瓜糖，發糕，團圓飯菜⋯
遙遠的記憶
清晰又模糊，
彷彿夜空若隱若現的光點。
願眾生年年平安幸福🙏🏻
I remember when I was little,
every Lunar New Year’s Eve
I accompanied my mom to buy
new year goods early in the morning.
Busy all day.
It’s interesting to rub glutinous rice balls,
roll it on the sesame seeds,
then put it in the pan.
And the small ball has doubled in size.
Like magic !
Busy from morning till night.
However, my mom said it was simpler than
what the older generation did in the past.
Beautiful candy box,
candied melon, steamed sponge cake
and reunion meal...
Distant memory clear and vague,
It's like a looming light in the night sky.
May all beings be safe and happy every year🙏🏻
徜徉於海拔高度2000公尺以上的
阿里山森林。
千年老樹，奇花異草⋯
滿山遍野散發著淡淡的芬芳。
日出，雲海，晚霞，森林，鐵路
豐富阿里山的色彩與內涵。
登上塔山天橋眺望遠山雲海，
想到弘一法師 《送別》的那句：
「 長亭外古道邊，芳草碧連天。」
Walking in Alishan forest
altitude above 2000 meters.
Thousand-year-old trees,
exotic flowers and rare herbs...
the mountains and plains exude a delicate fragrance.
Sunrise, sea of clouds, sunset, forest, railway
enrich the color and connotation of Alishan forest.
Climbing to the Tashan flyover
to look at distant mountains and clouds,
thinking of one sentence of
Master Hong Yi,
Li Shutong’s poem "good-bye" :
« Around the long pavilion,
beside ancient road,
the fragrant green grass linking up the sky. »
I like scribbling, writing
and feeling of peace.
Dislike to travel,
however if there is a touching sight,
a refinement, deeper rhythms of life
I would love to take pictures
for sharing with family and friends.
我喜歡塗塗，寫寫，
閱讀，清靜。
不愛旅行，
然而如果旅途，生活中有感人的意境景象
我樂於拍攝入鏡
分享親友。
Post-scriptum：J'ai reçu un message chaleureux d'une amie française Aurélie :Ce qui me m’interpelle dans cette vidéo de Taïwan, ce sont les images de nature, d’animaux, de couchers de soleil, de paysages champêtres. La vie et la société humaine doivent se construire en harmonie avec la nature autour. C’est un idéal à atteindre, même si peu de villes ou nations y arrivent. D’après cette vidéo, Taipei et Taïwan sont une source d’inspiration, ils semblent avoir atteint cet idéal. C’est d’autant plus impressionnant quand on pense que Taïwan est un pays développé à la pointe de la technologie. Le développement technologique et le respect de la nature ne sont pas incompatibles. Taïwan est un pays remarquable, et vous en êtes une représentante modèle ☺️Merci de m’éduquer sur votre culture 🥰後記：
收到一位法國朋友Aurélie 的訊息，
她看到我的影音「台灣 」
呈現自然界，動物，夕陽日落，
鄕村的景象。
感覺到生活，社會人文與自然界
誠然需要相互包容，和諧發展。
雖然不易但這是理想的實現。
而她認為我台北，台灣的影音
啓發了此靈感
似乎在實現這種理想。
尤其台灣給予人科技發達的印象。
科技發展與尊重自然生態
並非不能融和。
她看到台灣的卓越和影片表現的典範
謝謝我傳播此文化。
Aurélie 不吝於分享她的觀點
總是給予我的小品和影音懇切鼓勵。
非常感動能得到親友讀者的支持
也激勵我更努力創作分享大家。

She saw my video - “ Taiwan “
Presenting the scene of nature, animals,
sunsets, and villages.

and nature could mutual tolerance
and harmonious development.
Although it is not easy,
but that is an ideal to realize.
And she thinks that my video “ Taipei “
and “ Taiwan “ inspired this inspiration,
and seems to be realizing this ideal.
Especially Taiwan gives people the impression of advanced technology.
Technological development
and respect for natural ecology are not incompatible.
She though Taiwan is exceptional, and my videos express a model.
