Taiwan is like a diamond in Asia: Veteran educator Doris M. Brougham
“Taiwan is like a diamond in Asia,” U.S. educator and the founder ( ) of “Studio Classroom,” Doris M. Brougham, said on Wednesday.
“The Diamond is very small, but diamonds shine all around,” she added.
Doris M. Brougham, who has been working in Taiwan for more than 70 years, gave a speech at the opening event of the exhibition ( ) “Foreigners Love Taiwan” organized ( ) by the Taipei City Archives on Wednesday at the West Benevent Square ( ).
Echoing ( ) the theme of the exhibition, Brougham, 95, said she has stayed in Taiwan for more than 70 years and recalled ( ) that when she first came to Taiwan, the land was still developing and many people were facing illnesses.
The veteran educator explained that “the great thing about Taiwan is that people are very willing ( ) to change and to learn.”
She added that Taiwan is a beautiful place and that although “there are many beautiful places around the world, the place is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the people.”
The 95-year-old who has dedicated ( ) several decades to English education in Taiwan amusingly ( ) shared that buffaloes ( ) could even be seen on Zhongshan Road when she first arrived in Taiwan.
She recalled that she learned to speak Mandarin, Taiwanese, and even some indigenous ( ) languages. Yet, she stressed ( ) that the most important thing is to be able to communicate no matter what language we speak.
And we all communicate with each other based on the connection that we are all part of this beautiful island, she remarked ( ).
Brougham ended her speech by stressing that Taiwanese people are very tolerant ( ), and those who have been here all agree that Taiwanese people are very friendly.
“No matter what languages we speak, we are all people living in Taiwan and we are all Taiwanese.”
The “Foreigners Love Taiwan’ exhibition will open from March 10 to April 8, between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
‘The exhibition features three major sections ( ): “Foreigners Who Love Taiwan,” “Sentiments Beyond 100 Years,” and “High-Five Love Taiwan,” featuring ( ) the stories of foreigners who have made selfless ( ) contributions to Taiwan, such as Mackay, Marjorie Ingeleiv, Robert Swinhoe, Sidney Barton and Marjorie Landsborough, Yoichi Hatta and more.
資深教育家彭蒙惠女士 讚許台灣如鑽石般瑰麗
「台灣就像顆亞洲的鑽石,雖然面積小,但各個角落都光彩奪目,散發耀眼光芒。」空中英語教室創辦人彭蒙惠女士形容道。
在台灣深耕超過70年的彭蒙惠於週三上午參加由台北市立文獻館所舉辦位在西本願寺廣場的「吾愛台灣-愛台灣的外國人特展」開幕式活動。
呼應此次特展主題,高齡95歲的彭蒙惠表示,自己待在台灣超過70年,她回想到剛來台灣時,這片土地還在發展中,許多人面臨著病痛,在二戰結束的大環境下,台灣相較於國外復甦的更快。
彭蒙惠直截了當地點出,「台灣最大優點就是人們非常願意改變、願意學習。」
她也提到,台灣是個美麗的地方,儘管「全世界有非常多很美的地方,但地方不是最要緊的,最重要的是人。」
彭蒙惠女士奉獻台灣英語教育超過一甲子的時間,她逗趣地分享道,在她初來乍到的時代,中山路上甚至還能看到水牛在逛大街。
她表示,自己不但會說中文、閩南語、甚至還會說原住民語,然而,不管講什麼語言,最重要的是我們要能溝通,而大家彼此之間溝通連結就建立在我們都是這個美麗島嶼的一份子。
最後,她強調,臺灣人包容度非常高,且來過寶島的人都一致認同台灣人非常友善。
「不管講什麼語言,我們都是住在台灣的人,我們都是台灣人。」
「吾愛台灣——愛台灣的外國人特展」即日起到4月8日早上十點到下午五點開放民眾前往參觀。展覽分為三大展區分別是「愛台灣的外國人們」、「超越百年的情感」、「High-Five愛台灣」,展出馬偕、白寶珠、斯文豪、巴爾敦、蘭大衛與連瑪玉、八田與一等等對台灣做出無私貢獻的外國人們的事蹟。

A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over
by Yu-Jun LIN
Late mornings and sleepless nights. Frustration. Anxiety.
They seem to have infiltrated our consciousness and entered our dreams. We recognize the shape of eaves, the folding line of streets, and return to our dwelling coordinates where we hide and live. We see restless men and women in full feather wandering through the brightly-lit city and then sitting shoulder to shoulder with countless strangers, between countless walls.
In the 1970s, urbanism started paving its way into Taiwan. Bidding farewell to the landscape of an agricultural society, life thus became crowded and repressive in cities. The meaning of “urbanism” does not merely lie in towering skyscrapers but in altered landscapes, living conditions, isolation and loneliness as well as increasingly complex social issues. Submerged in the capitalist system, every person has been assumed as a tiny component, whose labor force is needed by the whole mechanism, but not with one’s individuality as well.
However, the construction of liberalism constantly reminds us of our own subjectivity, along with the importance of being viewed as a whole. Such contradictory values leads to extreme unease and confusion that keeps building up and ceaselessly floods our minds with external chaos. As worries that never subside loom over us, we are forced to retreat to our dwellings, where we are perfectly alone, and safe. We can uninhibitedly be ourselves – yet under the lingering dark cloud of sorrows.
Frustrating questions as “Who am I?” seem to return in lonesome nights, invariably. When night falls, myriads of dazzling lights glisten in innumerous windows at the near distance. Gazing into the dreamlike, transient light, we recall things we hope to seal for good in our troubled mind. We question again and again, about what role we should be playing to integrate into the society but still maintain the integrity of our own subjectivity.
A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over features eight selected pieces and delineates the question of how people, as individuals, should coexist with others, a question deriving from urbanites’ perceptual conflicts experiences.
Zheng Er Qi | People
“People” mirrors the phenomenon of Taiwan’s transition from being an agricultural society to city since 1970. It precisely portrays everyday urbanity that people nowadays are familiar with: Although millions of people reside on one spot, their recognition of one another fails to grow with urbanization, despite the presumable nearness.
Chung Chih Ting|I Am by Your Side
With the explanation by an offscreen sound and the roleplay image, “I Am by Your Side” depicts how urbanites try to be in company, revealing people’s natural urge for social connection. Yet it ends up to be talking to oneself or pointless mumbles, simply a futility of communication.
Wu Bo Sian | Chimps with Mona Lisa’s Smile
In the video, the chimpanzees form a spectacle, say, abnormality, in a seemingly normal context. “Chimps with Mona Lisa’s Smile” is a response to conflicts between public administration and individual freedom, zooming in on the contradictions or constraints between all the intervenable and the non-intervenable in everyday scenes.
Wang Ding Yeh | One-One
“One-One” depicts how people try to maintain an intact, rational space of survival while sometimes fail to avoid transgressing, under limited resources in a highly competitive society. With much precision, it captures the specific default interpersonal distance, and poses the question: How should each person navigate to find the best living posture at the moment?
Tsai Jie | When the Dust Settles
“When the Dust Settles” shows people restlessly beating on a possible exit to get out. However, does such an exit really exist? Or is it simply a delusion stemming from one’s untamable impetuosity? The work reflects the desolation of men and women, who are rumbustious, but aimless.
Huan Yen Chiao | 1, 2, 3. Are You Already in Hiding, Fish?
Fish in the bowl resembles people trapped in cities: extravagant outfits, splashing neon lights; sensational visual effects indeed. “1, 2, 3. Are You Already in Hiding, Fish?” presents how people escape from their anxiety and weariness for the time being. The work highlights the entire incompatibility and a sense of solitude after one’s subjectivity is highly developed.
Wong Shu Lian | I found myself floating and sinking down once in a while
The work addresses the enduring controversy between liberalism and capitalism that have been engendering people’s inner conflicts. It captures one’s self-doubt and angst in a profound way while, by exploring how to determine one’s best position, raises the ultimate question – Who are we after all?
Chen Chia Jen | SWEETWATER
“SWEETWATER” was born under Chen’s reflections during his artistinresidence experience in Southeast Asia. Between people living in urban and rural areas, there is a grand difference of perspectives, regarding how to survive and live a good life. It implies the fact that the widely-recognized future image, constructed by our society, might not be as clear or real as it seems, or perhaps what people accepted is simply a vague, even somehow out-of-focus, prospect.

are we there yet asia 在 管碧玲 (kuanbiling) Facebook 的最佳貼文
林昶佐委員因為市場防疫的議題,陷入是不是稱職立法委員的爭論。
有關爭議當天的發言,林委員事後已有針對市場表達謙卑的歉意,但是,還是有種種攻擊餘緒未消。
我要分享「外交家雜誌」這篇報導:
台灣打造「數位民主國家」的成就,很受國際矚目,開放國會部分,也是林昶佐委員的問政所關注的焦點,國際研究因此知道聽取他的意見,我們因此在這篇報導看到他的意見被呈現出來。
立法委員問政,因為不是執行者,往往不如行政官員有能見度,但是國家建設的成功,確實有國會議員共同參與的貢獻在裡面!
林委員很多問政都有佳績,慢慢大家會了解,至少這件事,國際間的評價很高,是台灣創造「數位民主國家」中的一環,而林委員長期關心!
提供大家參考://
台灣能否提供數位威權的另一選擇?
Can Taiwan Provide the Alternative to Digital Authoritarianism?
(Diplomat https://ppt.cc/fjDcrx)
中國和台灣正成為匹敵的數位國家—
中國是數位威權政權,台灣是數位民主。
China and Taiwan are becoming digital states in parallel —
China as a digital authoritarian regime, and Taiwan as a digital democracy.
7月1日中國共產黨成立百年之際,中國分析專家正密切關注習近平主席的下一步。另一方面,台灣正在推進 2020 年 6 月推出的開放國會行動方案和徹底透明的政策。中國和台灣正在同時成為數位國家—中國是數字威權政權,台灣是數位民主。 兩者中,數位威權更容易實施,也已有許多學術專業定義和理解它。雖然目前尚未有明確的數位民主模型,但台灣正在創造一個範例。
開放國會行動方案究竟是什麼?去年由Freddy 林昶佐立法委員提出,部分受到行政院開放政府國家行動方案的啟發。 開放國會行動方案為台灣立法院制定了五個主要目標:透明、公開、參與、數位化和理解。 林昶佐委員表示他長期以來相當關注科技和政治,並補充說:“推動此方案的原因是對政府和國會的未來創造新願景。”
開放國會行動方案包括改革,例如電視轉播,主要增加手語。 禁止閉門跨黨談判,包括委員會層面。 另一個重大變革是公開可取得的數位數據,例如投票記錄、預算和利益衝突。 目前公開的線上資訊有限,大部分的資料必須實體索取。
類似的開放政府國家行動方案側重於台灣政府的一系列政策變革來提高透明度、提供資料和增加公民參與。 因為台灣不被承認為國家,所以不能成為開放政府夥伴關係聯盟(OGP)的正式成員。 儘管如此,台灣依然在 2019 年宣布制訂自己的開放政府行動方案。
台灣政務委員唐鳳將 OGP 描述為“一項國際倡議,提倡核心價值如透明度、問責制、參與和包容,強調政府和民間的合作和共同創造。 全都符合台灣努力的方向。” 唐鳳希望開放開放政府國家行動方案是台灣加入OGP的路徑。
台灣公民科技的例子比比皆是,例如 2020 年 COVID-19 爆發初期使用的口罩地圖、針對追蹤接觸者足跡的QR Code 簽到系統、 闢謠機器人、公民自發的群眾外包政策,等。
“[公民科技]是台灣治理未來的關鍵,也是我們如何推動整個系統向前發展的關鍵。 公民科技將發揮非常重要的作用,”林昶佐委員說。
唐鳳也樂觀的表示:我相信我們今天面臨的許多挑戰,包括流行疫病和假訊息大流行(infodemic),都可以透過民主深化和促進我所謂的‘人民-公眾-私人的合作夥伴關係’來克服。”
林昶佐表示,台灣與中國的主要區別在於,台灣對科技的使用(例如切斷數位連結)以及疫病大流行時權力擴張的時間設限都有監督。
一個沒有監督或信任的政府的範例就是中國共產黨,它越來越依賴數位威權來監視和控制人口。 最極端的在其周邊地區:西藏、香港和新疆。 然而,即便是北京的街道上也佈滿了監視攝影機。
“台灣的數位民主與中國的數位威權之間存在根本區別,”唐鳳說。 “北京使用社會信用體系和國家審查等數位工具的同時,台灣積極創建數位基礎設施,使一般公民能針對政策改革提出和表達意見。”
“數位民主的透明度是讓國家對大眾透明,”唐鳳繼續: “在數位威權下,‘透明’一詞表示讓民眾對國家透明。”
台灣民主的數位化可能尚未完成,但其政府和公民社會的努力指示了一個數位威權主義的可行替代方案。改革政府過程中的數位工具和政策可以應用於其他民主國家。
“對於中國來說,也許只有一件事可以確定,他們多年來的大宣傳故事『民主不適合亞洲』
在台灣的進步發展下不再令人感興趣,”Ttcat 表示。
There is no clear model of what a digital democracy is yet, but Taiwan is in the process of creating one.
Digital Minister of Taiwan Audrey Tang described the OGP as “an international initiative that advocates core values such as transparency, accountability, participation and inclusion, with an emphasis on cooperation and co-creation of the government and civil society. These are all in line with what we are doing here in Taiwan.” Tang hopes the Open Government National Action Plan will be a path for Taiwan to enter the OGP.
Tang is also optimistic: “I believe many of the challenges we face today, including the pandemic and the infodemic, can be overcome by deepening democracy and promoting what I call “People-Public-Private Partnerships.”
According to Lim, the key difference between Taiwan and China is that in Taiwan, there is oversight for the use of technology, such as de-linking data, and time-limits to expanded powers during the pandemic.
“In a digital democracy, transparency is about making the state transparent to the public,” she continued. “Under digital authoritarianism, the word ‘transparency’ means making citizens transparent to the state.”
The digitization of Taiwan’s democracy may not be complete, but the efforts of its government and civil society point to a viable alternative to digital authoritarianism. The digital tools and policies to reform its government can be applied in other democracies.
“For China, maybe only one thing is certain, that the propaganda narrative they ran for years— that democracy is not for Asia— is no longer appealing under Taiwan’s progress,” said Ttcat.

After getting a GO Fest make up event last week, there were a few mishaps that happened to the players playing in the Asia Pacific region. As such, another make up event is given to us yet again. Some may think its a good thing, but its also a bad thing that we have to go through this event once more after suffering issues in the last event.

去年那時,今年此刻。
發布影片的這個時間,
正是我們去年抵達立法院外的時間。
永遠不會忘記一起淋的那場雨,
不會忘記我們是如何在立法院前爭取。
待結果定案,陽光彷彿透過雨水,映照在每一張期盼的臉上。
對於平權,我們還有許多要努力的事。
性平教育、子女親權、跨國婚姻,
好多好多的事,等著我們繼續前進。
這是一段很長的旅程,
但雨過總能綻放彩虹,
黑夜也會迎接曙光來臨。
願我們都能好好的,好好的看那些日子的到來。
僅以現場影片鼓勵大家,
我們都在,
都在前進的路上。
Same time same place, exactly a year ago.
We were standing in front of the Legislative Yuan,
at this exact time last year
as we release this video.
We were standing, together, in the rain.
There is no forgetting how we fought for our rights.
Once the results were out, we saw rays of sun shining onto us through the rain.
There’s a lot more to equity.
Gender equity education, guardianship rights, same-sex marriage right of foreigners.
We will come to them, one by one.
This is a long, long journey.
Yet this is one where rainbow accompanies rain,
and light follows darkness.
In the days to come, may we welcome the arrival of our rights with a smile.
This is a humble video of us same day last year.
We are still here,
let’s carry on.
This is an acknowledgement of the source of the photo at the end of this video:
謝謝影片裡最後的照片來自:Joker影像。喬客叔叔
