The Sounds of the Tang Poetry (7) : From Kuyin to Yinsong : Constructing and reciting regulated verse
No full textIn Professor Stalling’s second episode, we return to the Tang and Song “rhyme studies” tradition, but this time he invites our listeners to become “zhiyin” (those who study and understand sound) themselves by taking us step by step through the process of not only composing a regulated jueju in English, but also how all of the tonal prosody, semantic rhythm, and parallelism rules discussed in previous episodes come together to inform distinctive ways of reciting and chanting regulated verse both in modern Chinese and English
Re-burying the remains of Chinese martyrs: the rumours, controversies and revised solidarities of the new Tazara memorial park in Zambia
No full textThe TAZARA Memorial Park for Chinese martyrs who died in Zambia in the 1970s and 1980s is currently being built in Lusaka Province in Zambia, and is scheduled to open in 2022. In 2021, the remains of Chinese TAZARA workers and other laborers were retrieved from a dedicated graveyard in Mpika (Northern Province) and the Leopards Hill Cemetery in Lusaka, and have been re-buried in the new memorial park along Great East Road. Residents in nearby villages and in the town of Chongwe have heard rumours about the construction of a “large Chinese graveyard”, resulting in various concerns about the use of the land and processes of memorialisation. Controversies in the area, however, are not just about the construction of the Chinese memorial site, but are complicated by recent tensions between local residents and the former ruling party, the Patriotic Front, which was recently voted out of power. While the traditional ruler of the area, Chieftainess Nkomeshya Mukamambo II, granted permission for the park to be built in her area when a delegation from the Chinese Embassy paid her a visit, the PF failed to consult her, adding to entangled suspicions about the park. In this presentation, I examine this new heritage site, which consists of an eco-park, a museum, a small cemetery and a series of public sculptures and memorials. I argue that the new park registers shifting solidarities, both in terms of local concerns that are linked to political fractures, and in terms of a contemporary re-interpretation of the revolutionary friendship or comradeship (zhanyou, 战友) historically associated with the TAZARA
The Book of Poetry : The Han canonization : A love song and a moral exemplum
Get PDFThis episode discusses how the anonymous author of “Prefaces to the Book of Poetry” turned “Osprey,” the first of the 305 Shijing poems, from a lively love song into a moral exempla by means of gender switching. It also explains that such imaginative gender switching was made possible by classical Chinese grammar, especially its ungendered use of pronouns and its frequent omission of sentence subjects

精神病及癌症照顧者的社會支持及需要研究報告
Get PDF本研究旨在探討非正式照顧者在照顧60歲或以上受精神病或癌症困擾的家庭成員時遇到的困難、長時間照顧工作帶來的問題和他們的非正式社會支持。同時亦針對他們的需要提出相關建議。受精神問題及癌症困擾的年長患者數字持續上升，這兩類患者的非正式照顧者(下文統稱為照顧者)多面對因患者的情緒起伏和病情轉變化而帶來的巨大壓力。為深入了解他們的現況和為制定相關政策及服務提供參考，研究團隊以半結構性訪談的方法搜集了15位精神病及癌症患者的照顧者和17位服務提供者的意見。
研究結果發現，精神病患者照顧者常遇到的困難包括：缺乏私人空間、經濟壓力大、對相關疾病資訊不了解和因社會的負面標籤不願向外界求助。同時，他們因要長時間照顧患者，人際關係、身體狀況和就業狀況均受到負面影響。對於照顧癌症家屬的照顧者，他們多不了解現有的支援服務，而且需要面對沉重的經濟壓力。由於需要長時間照顧患者，照顧者的日常生活和心理狀況皆受到影響，他們與患者的關係轉差。這兩類照顧者的非正式社會支援網絡主要為家人、朋友及教會會友。
針對照顧者的需要，研究團隊提出了五個建議。一、加強公眾教育以去除社會對精神病患者的負面標籤，減低患者家人及照顧者對尋求外界協助的顧慮。二、增加暫託服務的資源和人手以縮短輪候時間，並推行以地區為本的照顧者「社區保姆」計劃，提供空間予照顧者暫時離開患者，以處理突發或私人事務。三、設立地區性照顧者服務中心，提供輔導服務，推行照顧者技巧培訓、經濟諮詢、喘息活動和「社區保姆」計劃，令到照顧者可以在同一個服務單位獲得所需的服務。四、政府可透過線上資源整合平台為照顧者提供相關照顧資訊，讓照顧者及其家庭更易知悉社會支援服務。對於年長的照顧者，建議政府可以在他們常出現或較容易接觸到的地方擺設攤位街站，派發相關小冊子。五、增加照顧者的經濟支援，提供「喘息及活動津貼」，並且將「照顧元素」融入經濟援助項目，使到綜援申請人和長者生活津貼領取人可獲得一定比率的照顧者津貼金額
