Good afternoon, the weather forecast that the rainy season in Taiwan is coming to an end, everyone who is about to get moldy, are you ready for summer?


【Taiwan】Inescapable harassment

In less than a week since Taiwan’s “Follow the Law”, dozens of cases have appeared all over Taiwan. The victims of harassment that we are particularly concerned about this week are women with visual impairments and physical disabilities. They often encounter evil wolves who are harassing in the name of false assistance. It is difficult to walk away from fear. Through the investigation of the Vision Engineering team, we were able to see their hard work. In the future, on the road, readers may wish to pay more attention to the needs of the disabled, and work together to prevent harassment from happening!

【China】Anyone who does not know is not guilty?

A piece of cake can also trigger a literal prison, which may be the most reasonable and absurd thing in the post-June 4 era. Li Jiaqi, a well-known Chinese anchor, served a cake in the shape of a tank on a live broadcast on June 3, and was immediately “off the shelf”. He has not shown his face again so far, showing that the Chinese official information blockade of the Tiananmen incident has not been relaxed. Ironically, this has led to a large number of young people who do not know what June 4th is to start searching for information (Li Jiaqi, born in 1992, may be one of them). Duan Media commented on this phenomenon layer by layer, highlighting the difficulty that everyone is walking on thin ice.

[Hong Kong] Not to the shore on both sides

To a certain extent, a reporter is a very “on the ground” job, and it needs to wander the alleys day after day, digging out stories in the daily conversations with people. When such a group of people are forced to leave the town that they have worked hard for for many years, how should they set their ambitions when they are “not on the scene”? The reporter interviewed 10 Hong Kong journalists who came to Taiwan to hear their memories of growing up under Hong Kong, and how they worked hard to start anew in Taiwan with these memories.

Hong Kong media such as Apple and Stance have been shut down one after another due to the liquidation of the #NationalSecurityLaw. #Baptism in anti- extradition has become the last battlefield for Hong Kong journalists, many of whom came to Taiwan. An environment that still maintains a free press seems ideal for continued ambitions, but this is only the beginning of more challenges.

【Herstory】Walking through the flames of war

Many people have seen the black-and-white photo of the Vietnam War : the naked child ran to the camera, his mouth opened in pain, and the cries almost penetrated the picture. How would you feel if the most frightening and embarrassing moment in your life was so widely shared? The little girl Kim Phuc, who is now an adult, has also publicly shared the meaning of the photo to her, who had painful memories of the war.

【Birth of an Idea】Mother Pig can finally stand up

More and more people choose vegetarianism and do not want to cruelly exploit animals. But are there other options between eating meat and being vegetarian that would also make the world a better place? Sanjiu Ranch’s “sow group house” is such a story. The rancher Hong Chongpin was moved by Chen Yumin , chairman of the Taiwan Animal Society Research Association, and decided to remove the narrow bar that confines sows. In the process, he found that more needs to be improved. The place… This is a major transformation costing more than 500 million yuan and a milestone in Taiwan’s improvement of economic animal welfare.

Traditional sow pens are very narrow and the sow spends most of her life lying down. (farmsanctuary.org@wikipedia)

[Hot discussion in the community] Cultural anti-Russian

Did you come to support the Taipei International Book Fair last week? This exhibition invites a 19-year-old Valentina Butenko, whose sales platform Yakaboo fully supports Ukrainian publications and strives to restore the lost culture and identity for Ukrainians, so that people who can’t fight can also participate” Cultural anti-Russian”. The young Valentina also has high enthusiasm and ability, and is the most dazzling focus of this book fair. In particular, she shares her story with Yakaboo with readers, hoping to infect the perseverance of Ukrainians!

【My body, my relationship】Single marriage

Dressed in fancy clothes and painted with Hena on her hands, Kshama Bindu, who had just finished her wedding, was on her two-week honeymoon vacation, but there was no groom to accompany her because she was the object of her marriage. This kind of “single marriage” is an emerging ceremony in recent years, in which the “new couple” declares that they can complete their life without others. Although some people think that this is superfluous, if you think about it carefully, there are not many people who can tolerate and love themselves all their lives. It is not easier to be your own partner than to be someone else’s partner. Perhaps Kshama’s wedding can remind us that we should always accompany ourselves in our hearts.

【Good Works Collection Box】

“Memoirs of Flowers and Butterflies” is an autobiography written by the Western music queen Mariah Carey herself. She has no reservations in the book, from the shadow of childhood violence, the inferiority caused by mixed blood and poverty, to the past events of derailment in marriage, etc. Be honest. Writer Chen Sihong shared his experience that “bad” female stars are often blamed in the public misogyny culture, so this is not just a memoir of the past, but also a “personality declaration” for self-healing. After reading it, it may be more understandable why her music is so appealing.
