Hi 羅先生,
Hope you are doing better now!
身體健康較重要
Life must go on without H3LP.
講來也見笑
For some unknown dark forces in the air
The thought of writing H3LP gradually dwindle in my mind
(Note: 三行詩部落格‘s count is down to 10 last month.)
不論仰般講
先生帶頭寫三行
已經打出名聲來
(註:今年「桐花文學獎」加「客家三行詩」類。)
客家依然在?
最驚毋敢企出來(變成隱形客)
慢慢失忒客家魂(變做河洛客)
搶救客家話
客委會責無旁貸
傳播會勢在必行
Here is Big Ben’s thought for everybody who cares about Hakka’s future in Taiwan. Hope HAC continues to carry out its Taiwan Hakka Youth Ambassador program and expand it if possible. I totally agreed with Thomas Shu’s Idea of organizing the “Ambassador” team from Hakka elders to do “Let’s Hakkafa”(大家講客家話). But I would rather use the word, "Mentor” instead. That is “Taiwan Hakka SenBai Mentor” program. This will be 「傳播會」‘s job to reach out to overseas Hakka retirees to sign up as a volunteer. In a long run, the combining effort of young ambassadors and old mentors may save Taiwan Hakka (客家人、客家母語、客家文化、客家族群)from diminishing in Taiwan.
天佑 臺灣客家!
Big Ben
