Yesterday
Just found a very old and serious picture (once upon a time, during the age of youthfulness and innocence :)! )
In observance of the holiday -
Commemorating the men and women who sacrificed while in the military service...
(Note - 最最下策 - 如此地拋頭碌面, 犧牲型相 in order to get messages out ! )

Crystal Huang 我姐是醫生的料子 (真是活生生地被那個社會制度所糟蹋掉), 沒錢繳學費所以只得從北醫轉到國防...我後來從台大到政戰- 人在江湖, 真的是"生" 不由己ㄉㄋㄟ !
生逢亂世, 沒錢沒勢的女兒們, 就得儘忠抱幗去啦!!! 這樣爸媽生病才有機會看軍醫. -要不然, 真不敢想像爸媽怎麼度過種種病痛的折磨...! If certain type of the universal health care had been available during those days, things might have been drastically different, though...See Translation

Dug out an old writing relevant to the above post:
危風往事: A few days ago, 好不容易地我三姐 (in Taiwan) 變成 my facebook friend!! ( 在外, 打方塊國字, 真"夭壽" 地慢的ㄋㄟ!!!!) - 像烏龜爬門檻, 但看此一翻 - turtle-crawling: my way of typing characters.一直以為在她心中, 我還是那乖乖笨笨的大妹. 小時三姐是城裡有名的女英雄 -允文允武, 十八般武藝樣樣精通 (書讀的好, 連拿種種體育競賽金牌獎盃, 又特會做菜, just to name a few!) - 是我小時候心慕中的偉人. 那時候, 只有三姐和大哥 (你們倆超會念書, 又是運動健將, 一個讀市女, 一個上建國與臺大. 讓狠多人羨慕與忌妒), 在那種愁雲慘霧的日子裡, 可以讓我們弟妹聽到些爸媽些微的安慰.
昨天我三姐 on my timeline 突然提及一些 早已忘了得小時 (不)了了(之) 的故事, 使我聯想起幾年前一個匿名叫范蘭欽 (ChinaMainlander in Taiwan) 的 駐外官場辦事人員 (high-salary, paid by the hard-working Taiwanese taxpayers). 此官員不知為何用個 ”賤” 字 形容臺灣人… 是可忍孰不可忍!!! - I remember that I doodled/信筆塗鴉 a tiny reflection about a typical Taiwanese's experience to share. 我本無意舊事重題, 爛炒冷飯, but just to echo my sister's thoughts that I did understand her care.
Here you go:
他的名子叫 被割割。這個名子犯不著對范蘭欽有任何自由聯想或對他有畫蛇添足之 "閒"。
被割割很認命與守舊。深信書中自有外交屋,書中自有謙忠恕。中學作文得數獎,大學聯考歷史考了個一百分。算是個左腦 有開發的人(剿幸得很, 右腦是在 x 國啓蒙的)。被割割一心一意想拼個謙忠恕外交工作人員以報家國養育之恩 (真是顽固迂腐無知幼稚到極點 : 臺灣人, 有興趣於外交 ?? - 還早得很 :)!)
首度赴特考戰戰兢兢, 然而慘遭敗北 - 這科國際公法雖非本行, 也不該考個如此無能的分數。捲土重來信心十足。不料晴天闢靂高分落選。
回想多年前時的被割割並非輸不起那一分,而是被割割 那不識字的母親滿懷疑問 "那ㄝ安內生? 歷哪目賙放ㄎㄨㄟ ㄎㄨㄟ去考,歷史也不會考二十五分!!!" 一輩子沒機會上一天學的老母卻苦苦巴望她十個苦命兒 中能有一兩個有出脫當個像包清天那樣的”官員",一如歌仔戲 (忠孝節義封建承控機制) 中那十年寒窗一舉揚眉顯親的莘莘學子鬆口氣 地說, ”此後不再受虐於猛逾虎的苛政”。 然而複查成績的結果是白紙四大黑字- "查無錯誤"。
被割割只好安慰老母: “媽,您的每日清晨夜晚虔誠欽天敬祖,燒好香做好待, 祖宗神明會原諒我的失誤。” 然後被割割嬉皮笑臉地對媽說 “可能是真的, 想當官員要燒三代的好香做好事呢! 媽, 一定是前兩代阿公阿祖香沒燒夠!” 私底下,被割割卻無奈地想著那報考的履歷表上的確是要你提及祖宗三代。不過不是有關燒好香做好事,而是祖宗們的學經歷背景。被割割的兄妹們倒是黃家頭一代出產的識字人。在台灣,這是一件很值得誇耀的事。
言歸正傳,這 “ 二十五分的歷史教訓 ” 從此深深烙印在這個社會學没讀透的狂狷青年心頭。
話說山不轉路轉、當不了駐外人,被割割 倒也扛轎周旋於幾個小型官場,看了幾齣現形記 (時當解嚴天蠶劇變之際,於國府殿堂)。厚黑與薄白戲碼趁機上演,看得眼花撩亂,做得澎湃洶湧 。 說得遲那時快,一個有份量的獎學金使被割割覺悟一切有為法,如夢幻泡影 - 痛心地空遁到海外, 專心投入百年樹 (x 國)人的工作 (不夠格樹本國人,只好退而求其次)。 所以, 從一個當了七年親愛精誠的丘八官與抬轎人如今成了個 “住” 外的樹人。
如此一來,被割割時而仰天長嘯壯懷激烈一番, 時而自我調侃自我阿Q,自封個背 "彩虹旗" 的人 (有綠, 有藍, 有紅,有黑,更有白)。如果你要為被割割駐個名 (不論是加罪或加封)- 這嗎 騎牆騎得太離譜??
不過看官要是知曉這荒唐辛酸個中味, 說真的,這種旗也真重得難扛。 試想被割割對著大鼻混眼的X國學生唱著 望你早歸,梅花,雨夜花,易水寒, 與 高山青以解說社會階層和族群理論時,卻無法用那美麗的母語的精神分裂折騰?! 被割 割的自 我流放,值得反省, 值得三思...
Dec. 14 (Sa), 2013: A short reflection-Indeed, now, 一切如過往雲煙, 煩惱即菩提. 生命中適度的困境與挑戰實在很珍貴!!! 太多或太少是種對生命的糟蹋.
我比我兄妹姊們幸運得多! 不多不少, 恰到好處- 感恩 _/\_ x 108.

The following messages echoed my "Who is truly Technophile vs. Technophobe" post, reminding me of the above scribbles done a while ago.

Rodney Dukes Are you the author? Thought provoking. i think it would be difficult to truly be either. The change is rapid and as usual, the powers that be are promoting the benefits over the secrets of what they are gaining from the information that we are all so free to relinquish for a chance to play with the latest toy. What is power? Is this technology a savior or slaver?

Crystal Huang: 人才 = Opportunity meets Ability. Without opportunities, nothing could be accomplished. These are the key themes of my Race/Ethnicity and Diversity study course now I am teaching. Students need to learn life chances and oddities to navigate throughout the life journey. Indeed, some people are more privileged than others (both visible and invisible, ascribed/achieved) with many life choices and chances (race, ethnicity, gender, social class, physicality, nationality, languages, sexual orientation, disability...etc.) while others, doors are tightly closed. Just need to know these invisible rules of games ! and inform the policy making agencies for certain types of social change.

Crystal Huang: @my dear classmate Steve, how did 歐美國家 become 先進?? How about 16th-19th - up to early 20th centuries' global imperialism and colonialism/neo-colonialism on Africa, Southeast Asia and the rest of the "less" developed world? 美國 一百五十年的 奴隸制度, 對 "本土" 印第安人的虜掠屠殺 and 族群歧視 still lingering on.
