2021 臺灣向前行
Hi, Thomas,
Thank you very much for mentioning Hakka Chang in your FB and challenging him to write more H3LP. Here is one echoing your call.
武漢疫情後
「按嘴仔」變當重要
日常生活必用品
蕭美琴代表
送來一包「嘴按仔」
交代「臺灣向前行」
勇敢向前行
帶上臺灣「嘴按仔」（Made in Taiwan Face Mask)
宣傳臺灣好戴人（Taiwan is the safest country to stay and live now.)
期望過了年
大家接打強心針（COVID-19 Vaccine)
轉去臺灣戴一年

2020華府聖誕節
Hi, Thomas and Grace,
It’s
freezing cold in Washington, DC today. Big Ben sneaked down to the city
to check on the Christmas trees at the White House and the Capital
Congress. Share few pictures with you here.
一場武漢疫

Hi, Thomas and Grace,
Just can’t help sharing more photos and some feelings in H3LP way in this holiday season with you. It looks to me that H3LP will

would share by dropping his wisdom some how and some way through the cloud gate.

Bald eagle at Blackwater National Wildlife Refugee Center, Maryland
Dear Thomas, Grace and Friends,
Last
weekend, drove almost 3 hours to check brown pelicans near Hoopers
Island on Eastern Shore, Maryland and ran into a pair of Bald Eagles at
Blackwater National Wildlife Refugee. Here is a photograph for your
reference. Are they awesome?
一對白頭鷹
企著樹頂頭勾勾
看到人類變瘋狗
美國一片亂
亂到紅藍分不清
川普到今吂認輸
認識白頭鷹
填加知識補頭腦
互相幫助學到老
“The
Bald Eagle has been the National emblem of the United States since 1782
and a spiritual symbol for native people for far longer than that.
These regal birds aren’t really bald but their white-feathered heads
gleam in contrast to their chocolate-brown body and wings.”(from Cornell
Lab of Ornithology)
BTW.
Will share two more photos in the separate email. Of course, will also
show you brown pelicans with a different subject later.

Passed by the National Zoo and noticed

2020 General Election in USA
Hi, Thomas and Friends,
May I share this piece of
news with you on this 2020 General Election in USA? What a creative way
to promote the business! We, Taiwan, should learn from it and try to do
the same in the next election.
今年選總統
媒體幾乎一面倒
倒向民主黨拜登（Biden)
民調乜共樣
保證拜登贏川普
成為米國新總統（46th US President)
民意定乾坤
認為川普會連任
大贏拜登轉白宮
餅乾「章魚哥」
試探賓州个民意
Donald Trump sweeps Joe Biden
Pennsylvania
is a democratic State and has a Democrat governor. In 2016, very few
people thought that Trump would come from behind to win 20 electoral
votes. Only God knows if he can do it again today.
God Bless the United States of America!

Dear 阿龍哥 and 阿英姐，
Let’s try something new to get our
spirit up a notch to poke one another in writing H3LPs. Here is a song,
「你是我的兄弟」，in Taiwanese(河洛）for your reference.
I
love it. It inspires me to say something in the way of H3LP that 羅先生
told and taught me so. That is, just write what is in your mind and what
you want say. You two agree with me, I hope!

臺灣客家人
唐山來臺四百年
傳承文化幾世代
一代傳一代
殺豬文化傳下來（到今）
義民祭典少聽客
臺灣客家人
隨著潮流求生存
慢慢忘掉祖宗言（阿姆話）
到底哪所爭
專家爭吵二十年
客人講客年年減
西元二千年
客家委員會成立
兩黨政策有爭差
二十年下來
保留古蹟有做到（百姓祠堂有整修）
拯救母語冇做好（客庄人口向外流）
承蒙蔡總統
「客家政策」有方向
客語係「國家語言」
期待蔡總統
行遍臺灣三六九（臺三線、六堆、花東九線）
客家母語正有救
真經係有心
下鄉親民講客話
客人自冉會覺醒
真經係有意
撥出經費「教」客話
輔導後生「學」客話
全國客家庄
遍地開花去開班
在地行動救母語
真經得人驚

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.

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.

Hi, Thomas, Grace and Allen,
It’s very exciting to

Hope this will give you some inspiration to write more H3LPs from now

得諾貝爾文學獎
五十零年來
以「普實無華之美」（=austere beauty?)
