Hi Friends,
It
has been a long while since Big Ben tried to inspire or beg you to
write a set or two of H3LPs and hoped that our late 羅先生‘s dream in
saving Hakka mother tongue would not be in vain. Well, BB felt quite
disappointed to see no
responses and went out to Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia to relax and soothe
his soul. In the meantime, he took few photos and wrote down some thought
to share with you.
搶救客家話
臺灣客家愛覺醒
共下鎖定客家情
搶救客家話
後生客家愛認真(學、教講客話)
共下鎖定一生情(奉獻一生人)
Harper’s
Ferry is on the Potomac River near three States (Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia) and on Appalachian Trail, located almost half way between Maine
and Georgia (see the wooden sign on one of photos). It is the most
popular spot for the tourists year around. Notice that there are many
locks hanging on the bride which are meant to lock the loved lives of
young and old visited HF together. BB pray and sincerely hope that we,
Taiwan Hakka, can lock together, hand in hand and heart to heart, to
save our mother tongue from disappearing in Taiwan Hakka towns and
villages.
天祐 臺灣客家!
Big Ben
