Shang-Chi Marvel Simu Liu Marvel Studios
Shang-Chi is number ONE at the box-office for the THIRD week in a row! It's made over $300 MILLION worldwide. What a feat in this covid era for any movie, let alone an ASIAN-LED one!
I personally am feeling so inspired from watching Shang-Chi!! I don’t think I’ve ever understood what (Asian) representation feels like until I watched this movie. Being born in and raised in the US, as an Asian-American, I didn’t feel like I belonged. I spent a lot of my childhood living a double life – quiet and reserved at school, and felt much more at home in a Chinese school.
I've trained in Wushu since I was 7 but it wasn’t until I watched Mulan that I got the courage to show people who I really was. I never want my children to feel that way! I love how Shang-Chi the movie represented all of those groups, North American-born Chinese, overseas Chinese, and Asian immigrants as a whole. The characters were so relatable – from the nods to taking off our shoes, to getting scolded about getting married to our most filial friends, to getting scolded about our job choices – and it showed how there is actually someone like me in the writers’ room.
Cheers also for including Indian Americans as Asian-Americans because they are. The action scenes were phenomenal and you could tell the cast really poured their heart into training and preparing for performance. And finally, in the end credits, seeing the first Asian superhero actually stand beside Mr. Wong, Captain Marvel and Dr. Bruce Banner aka The Hulk, just made me realize that, oh man, this is real. This actually happened. Let’s keep these Asian-led blockbusters coming!!
尚氣與十環傳奇已經連續三週票房第一！全球票房收入超過 3 億美元。在新冠病毒的時間點還能有這樣的票房對任何電影來說都是一項壯舉，更不用說是以亞洲文化為主題電影了！
尚氣這部電影讓我受到了很多啟發！！在我看了這部電影之前，我感覺我從來都不知道（亞洲）被再現在大螢幕上的感覺。我在美國出生和長大，作為亞裔美國人，我時常找不到歸屬感。我的童年有很大部分時間都過著雙重生活——在學校安靜又拘謹，而到了中文學校才有家的感覺。我從 7 歲開始練習武術，但直到看到《花木蘭》，我才鼓起勇氣向其他人展現真正的自我。我不希望我的孩子在未來也有這樣的經歷！我喜歡這部電影《尚氣》的原因不只是因為好看，它也代表了所有以下這些群體，北美出生的華人、海外華人和整個亞洲移民。這些角色是如此的具有象徵意義，可以產生共鳴——從點頭到脫鞋、因為嫁給我們最孝順的朋友而被責罵、甚至是被質疑我們的工作選擇——這看得出編劇裡居然也有像我這樣的人，我也為電影將印度裔美國人納入亞裔美國人的一員感到開心。動作場面真的非常壯觀！你可以看出演員們真的全身心地投入到訓練和準備中。最後，可以看到第一個亞洲超級英雄站在王先生、驚奇隊長和布班納博士（綠巨人）旁邊，讓我意識到，天啊，這是真的嗎？我不是在做夢吧。我相信未來一定有更多亞洲文化主導題材的電影！！！
【德多少，就得多少】
YOUR VIRTUES DETERMINE HOW MUCH YOU GET
最近家附近有建築工地，噪音多了。
客人聽我的聲音不會有問題，因為我的耳機有麥克風，但如果他們不戴有麥克風的耳機，我聽他們的聲音會比較辛苦。
幾天前，為一位年輕的保險經紀通過Zoom批八字。
他進入Zoom會議室後，呆看著我。
我微笑看著他，故意不出聲，觀察著他。
幾秒後，他才粗魯的說：「哈囉？!」
奇怪了，貴為一個保險經紀，見人應該無數，打招呼的方式，怎能這麼粗俗？我阿姨阿伯級的客人，雖不常用Zoom，都比他懂禮貌。
我馬上回：「X先生，您好。您進來會議室，怎麼打招呼這麼粗俗？」
「我一向來都是這樣先哈囉，有聲音我才正式打招呼。」
「我倒是從來不會這樣。」
其實，這是個人修養的問題。
「你沒有讀我發給你的貼文嗎？為何你視訊沒有戴耳機？」
「我一向來Zoom都是這樣，沒有戴耳機。我以為你只是建議而已，不一定要戴。」
「我在貼文裡寫關於戴耳機的理由，你覺得不成立嗎？」
他想了幾秒，回：「是成立的。」
「我們都是提供服務的人。客人找我們，需要三大元素。第一個，就是同理心。你沒有同理心，難怪你說你的客人寧願聽別人說，也不信你說。」
「如果你要我戴，我現在就戴。」
他講完後，依然坐在那裡看著我，一動也不動。
後來，我說了幾句，他肯戴上耳機後，藍牙耳機也並沒操作好。
等了我一個月，這麼簡單的事情都不願事先做好。
看著他理直氣壯的模樣，頓時覺得他很可憐。
貴人坐在他面前，他說的一大堆話，都是以「自我」為出發點，完全不懂得「以和為貴」的道理。這不就是親手把貴人轟出門嗎？
「你這樣講話，就算講贏了，你真的贏了嗎？」
換成我是他的客人，我絕不會向他買保險，因為很明顯這不是一位真心為別人著想的保險經紀人。
那天，雖為他看八字，該說的我都有說，但我依然保留許多。
因為他缺德。
許多人把「德」看得很輕，覺得沒做壞事就是好人。事實上，不按照別人合理的要求做事，蓄意破壞規則，只顧自己，也是沒有德行可言。
有些人會吐槽，哎呀你學佛的人，要慈悲，何必跟他計較？不要著相！
我不是在意氣用事。
沒有智慧的慈悲，會害死人的。
祖師有訓 - 看命本來就是依客人的福德多寡，而賜福。品行不端的人，承受不起更多的福報，反而會遭反噬。再說了，對貴人都不好的人，對沒有利用價值的人就會更善良嗎？
不是捐錢的，就一定是好人，什麼事情都是要用心才算。
每個人都想要與眾不同，可是如果你的所作所為和一般人一樣，沒有比他們做得更好，那你的命格只配拿得起一般的命運。
不要迷信，以為什麼都是人家為難你，就跑去求神拜佛要打小人。我們命運裡的每一個障礙，每一粒石頭，都是自己放進去的。
你不改，障礙物就不會移。
在這裡聲明：沒有麥克風耳機的Zoom客人，我一概會取消諮詢，進行退款，沒得商量，沒得瞎掰。
能突然放假，真是太過癮了！
——————————————————
Recently, a construction site sprouted up beside my place, creating a lot of noise every day.
Zoom clients wouldn’t have a problem hearing me, but if they do not have a earpiece with a mic, I would have a problem hearing them.
Few days ago, I did a Bazi analysis for a young Insurance Agent via Zoom.
After he entered my Zoom meeting room, he looked at me blankly.
I smiled at him, deliberately staying quiet, and observed him.
Few seconds later, he said bluntly, “Hello?!”
How strange that an insurance agent, who probably have met tons of people, would greet in such an abrupt manner. My middle-aged clients, who rarely use Zoom, have better etiquette than him.
I replied instantly, “Hi, Mr X. Why is your greeting so crude, upon entering this meeting room?”
“I always say hello like this and wait to hear a reply, before I greet officially.”
“I never do that.”
Actually, this demonstrates the refinement of a person.
“Did you not read the post I sent you? Why are you not wearing a earpiece?”
“All along, I do Zooms in this manner without a earpiece. I thought it’s just a suggestion from you and it was not mandatory.”
“I wrote about the reason for clients to wear a earpiece. Do you find it invalid?”
He pondered for a few seconds and replied, “It’s valid.”
“We are both service providers. Clients look for us based on three main qualities. The first being the quality of empathy. You lack empathy and it’s no wonder you say your clients rather listen to others and not trust you as much.”
“If you want me to wear, then I will wear it now”
And he sat there looking at me, not moving an inch.
When he finally put on his ear pods, they did not operate well either.
It’s peculiar how despite a month of waiting for me, he was slow to get this simple thing done right.
Seeing how “self-assured” he was, for a brief moment, I find his behaviour pitiful.
His benefactor was sitting right in front of him, yet his words remained self-serving, totally oblivious to what harmony is about. Wasn’t this sending your benefactor straight out of the door?
“Even if you gain an upper hand talking like this, have you really won?
I would never buy insurance from such an agent, as obviously he was not the considerate kind.
I still read his Bazi that day, said what I should but there were also a lot I did not reveal.
Because he is lacking in virtues.
Many people think lightly of virtues. They assumed that if they do no evil deed, they are virtuous humans. Fact is, if you do not follow the reasonable requirements of other people, deliberately breaking the rules for your own gain, you have no virtue to speak of.
Some naysayers will tell me, but hey you are a practicing Buddhist, so you should exercise your compassion and not be bothered with his behaviour! Don’t get attached to external form!
This isn’t about me.
Compassion without wisdom brings more harm than good.
Since ancient times, it is a rule of thumb that we practitioners allocate good fortune to clients, based on their conduct and luck.
A person with undesirable conduct is unable to bear greater fortune, or there will be adverse consequences. Moreover, if a person is unkind to his benefactor, it is very unlikely that he will be kinder to another person with no value to him.
You can’t define a person as a good man, just because he is willing to donate money. We got to look at how he uses his heart.
Everybody wants to be special and different from others. But if what you are doing is the same as other people, nowhere better than them, then you can only carry a mediocre Destiny.
Don’t be superstitious to think that everybody is out to get you, and you go running to the temples or Feng Shui masters to chase away the villains.
Every obstacle in our destiny, every little stone that trips us, is placed in our lives by no other person but ourselves.
If you do not change, the obstacle isn’t going to budge either.
And here’s an official note: For any Zoom client that does not wear a earpiece with a microphone, I will cancel the consultation and give you a refund.
Having off days out of the blue are so much more fun!
"Dream to Nantou" is an original song written and performed by Sandy H.
Listen on Spotify / Apple Music ⏩ https://backl.ink/142602169
More about Nantou ⏩ https://eng.taiwan.net.tw/m1.aspx?sNo=0002114

Whether you choose to stay at an exotic villa at Qingjing Farm or an elegant room at Puli Tao-Mi Eco-Village, you are never far from nature's scenic embrace. Whenever and wherever you arrive, Nantou is there to welcome you on a relaxing, fun, and eye-opening journey."
【 Dream to Nantou 】Lyrics:
Feel the wind and come along with me
hold my hand as you breathe
let me treat you some oolong tea
Feel the sun
in this landlocked county
but you could see its beauty
the waters are crystal clear
I had a dream of me and you
stopping by at a wide green tea farm
you held me when we were
sitting by the sun moon lake
don't wanna sleep
don't wanna leave
in such a good sensation
climbing up to the top of the mountains
sharing a B&B room
Nantou is where we first met
a starry night that I will never ever forget
Nantou is where everything began
so why don't we make it all happen before summer ends
so why don't we make it all happen before summer ends
Hear the trees
blowing with the breeze
can't find a better place to be
a simple but mindful trip
I had a dream
of me and you
hanging out with adorable sheep
Don't need no creams for face
living in the lush forests
don't wanna sleep
don't wanna leave
in such a good sensation
laughing like children with no burden
crying like the waterfalls
Nantou is where we first met
a starry night that I will never ever forget
Nantou is where everything began
so why don't we make it all happen before the summer ends
so why don't we make it all happen before the summer ends
the heart of my home
is where we're gonna go
the heart of my home
is where we're gonna go
the heart of my home
is where we're gonna go
the heart of my home
so why don't we make it all happen before the summer ends
so why don't we make it all happen before the summer ends

以音樂為太魯閣號祈福，願傷者平安康復，願亡者安息歸去，向所有救難英雄們致上最高的敬意與感謝。（原曲、日文歌詞附在最下方）
不要在我的墳墓前哭泣，
我不在那裡，我沒有長眠。
我在勁吹的千風中，
散落在皚皚的雪原。
我是溫柔的秋雨，
滋潤金黃的麥田。
我是百鳥盤旋的黎明。
我是點綴夜晚的群星。
我在綻放的百花中，
妝點寧靜的屋檐。
我是高歌的飛鳥，
留存於美好的人間。
不要在我的墳墓前哭泣，
我不在那裡，我從未長眠。

『英文版原文詩詞』
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
『日文版 新井滿翻譯歌詞』
私のお墓の前で 泣かないでください
そこに私はいません 眠ってなんかいません
千の風に千の風になって
あの大きな空を 吹きわたっています
秋には光になって 畑にふりそそぐ
冬はダイヤのように きらめく雪になる
朝は鳥になって あなたを目覚めさせる
夜は星になって あなたを見守る
私のお墓の前で 泣かないでください
そこに私はいません 死んでなんかいません
千の風に 千の風になって
あの大きな空を 吹きわたっています
千の風に 千の風になって
あの大きな空を 吹きわたっています

因為疫情，政府規定現場觀眾不能跟著高唱。但插班生還是想要聽到大家的聲音。插班生邀請大家先來錄一段，演唱會上播出，才有互動的感覺！只需用你的手機錄音！最好是，找個安靜的角落/房間，（不要廁所please）借一個朋友/家人的手機，戴上耳機，播放這段視頻，然後用自己的手機錄音。就是最好純vocal。然後電郵至 thefreshmanager@gmail.com
Because of Covid-19 restrictions, live audiences are technically not allowed to sing along. But The Freshman would REALLY missing your voices. So we would like to invite you to singalong to these two choruses and record it on your phone! The ideal set up is if you can borrow your friend/family's phone, find a quiet room (not the toilet please), plug your earphones into your friend/family's phone to play this youtube video, then record onto your own smartphone's voice memo app. Then email the audio clip to thefreshmanager@gmail.com
Thank you!!!! 謝謝大家的踴躍參與！不要害羞喔！！！
