2022/05/28 第三屆東亞線上會議台灣客家文化驚豔世界

5/28/2022

English Version see below

由台灣推動促成的Servas第三屆東亞線上會議，2022年5月28日台北時間下午2:00正式登場，吸引全球五大洲28國近100名會員報名參加。一位撤至日本的烏克蘭會員Anastasiya也出席這場會議，由於會前已讓與會者得知此事，全場四處可見烏克蘭國旗和I stand with Ukraine的標誌，讓會場洋溢愛與和平的氣氛。

在介紹台灣客家文化之前，由Servas Taiwan有43年會齡，同時也是首任理事長的Serena開場，Serena表示，看到台灣和東亞各國，甚至世界各國，有越來越多的交流合作、愛與關懷，真是令人非常振奮，這就是Servas的精神。她說，疫情之後，歡迎大家到台灣，「我們一直有個傳統，只要外國會員到台灣來聯絡我，我就會召集台灣會員和這位Traveler一起共進午餐或晚餐，除了交流，也協助解決在旅行時候可能遇到的問題」。

隨後上場的台灣客家文化，在Servas Taiwan新任理事長Jojo介紹台灣之後，由會員Milly、Yiping、Birdy從個人的故事出發，讓各國會員看到客家村的樣貎、婚禮習俗、客家美食鹹香肥的源由、廟會活動，以及客家人移民至台灣後，與福佬族群和原住民從初期的衝突至和平共處的歷程。其中Yiping並親自示範客家水粄的作法，以料理思念外婆，並邀請母親一起來品嚐媽媽的味道。

很多外國會員表示，這是他們第一次接觸客家文化，讓他們大開眼界。一位德國會員說，看到Milly家的小孩從小跟著大人拔蘿蔔、矖蘿蔔乾、製作蘿蔔乾，最後一家人一起品嚐菜脯蛋，完整參與食物生產過程，覺得十分感動。另一位墨西哥會員說，客家文化讓人驚豔，讓她想立刻飛到台灣。

主持的東亞區輪值主席Mei表示，新移民至新故鄉，初期必然艱辛，期待客家人移民到台灣的奮鬥歷程與客家精神，給予世界其他角落的新移民力量與希望。

特別感謝來自全球各地的志工，協助這場會議的進行，這些志工包括：

Japan: Suwako Nagata

關於烏克蘭會員Anastasiya
29 歲的Anastasiya，在烏俄戰爭爆發前是位學生和翻譯，能說流利的英語和波蘭語，住在烏克蘭西部的Lviv，現在撤離到日本京都。她一開始去了波蘭和德國，希望不要離家鄉太遠，能早日返回烏克蘭，但找不到足以維持生計的工作，而後她收到Servas日本會員Wada Hiroko太太的email，邀請其至日本與其同住，Anastasiya 於4月抵達日本，期待6月能找到適當的工作。Anastasiya是2018年前往京都旅行時認識Hiroko太太的。她說，現在靠著過去的積蓄和Hiroko太太的支持生活，非常感激Hiroko太太，「她真可以說是我的日本媽媽」。

Anastasiya 的家人仍在烏克蘭。她的祖母不想離開。她的阿姨是一名護士，她說她不能也不會離開。她的母親決定留著協助難民和烏克蘭軍隊。男朋友也留在烏克蘭。

她想對全世界的Servas會員說：請支持烏克蘭！這短短的一句話承載了我祖國現在正在發生的希望、感受和悲劇。和平不是想當然爾，和平是你必須捨命奮鬥的結果。我現在才明白。

支持烏克蘭會員，可上Servas Online找到他們的email，溫馨的關懷或實際贊助等行動，都是推動他們繼續前行的力量。

The 3rd East Asia Online Meeting Taiwan's Hakka Culture Astound the World

The 3rd Servas East Asia Online Meeting, held at 2:00 pm Taipei time on May 28, 2022, attracted nearly 100 members from 28 countries on five continents to join. Anastasiya, a Ukrainian member evacuating to Japan, also attended the meeting. Since the participants had been informed one Ukrainian member will join the meeting, the Ukrainian flag and the logo of “I stand with Ukraine” could be seen everywhere, which bring love and peace to all.

Before introducing Taiwan's Hakka culture, Serena, who has 43 years of membership in Servas and is also the first chairman of Servas Taiwan, said that she saw more and more exchanges and cooperation between Taiwan, East Asia, and even countries around the world, love and caring, it's very exciting, that's the spirit of Servas. She said that after the epidemic, everyone is welcome to Taiwan, "We have always had a tradition that as long as foreign members come to Taiwan to contact me, I will gather Taiwan members to have lunch or dinner with this Traveler. We will know this traveler and help to solve problems in his/her journey in Taiwan.”

The Taiwan’s Hakka culture that followed, after Jojo, the new chairman of Servas Taiwan, introduced Taiwan, members Milly, Yiping, Birdy told their personal stories, let participants see Hakka villages, wedding customs, Hakka cuisine, temple festivals, and the process from conflict at the beginning to peaceful coexistence with the Holo ethnic group and aboriginal people after Hakka immigrated to Taiwan.
Yiping demonstrated how to cook rice pudding, one Hakka dish. It’s her way to miss her grandmother. She also invited her mother to taste “the flavor of mother”.

Many members said this was their first time to hear Hakka culture, which opened their eyes. One German member said she was very touched to see Milly's children join and produce traditional food, pull radishes, dry radishes, and make dried radishes with adults. One Mexican member said that the Hakka culture was so amazing that she wanted to fly to Taiwan immediately.

Mei, the meeting host and area coordinator of Servas East Asia, said new immigrants to their new hometowns must be difficult at the beginning. Hope the stories and spirit of Hakka will give power and hope to new immigrants of the world.

About Anastasiya from Ukraine
Anastasiya, 29 years old, student & translator, speaks English and Polish fluently. She used to live in Lviv (west of Ukraine), now evacuated to Kyoto, Japan. She went to Poland and Germany in the beginning, but she left because no jobs or job offering was difficult to support her living. Under this situation, she received an invitation email from Wada Hiroko san, Servas Japan member. They met in 2018 when Anastasiya traveled to Kyoto. Anastasiya arrived in Japan in April and expects to find a job and starts working from June. “I am living off my Ukrainian savings right now as well as support from Hiroko san. I am extremely thankful for her help and all the support she gave me. I can truly say that she is my Japanese mother.”

Anastasiya’s family is still in Lviv, Ukraine. Her grandmother doesn’t want to leave. Her aunt is a nurse, and she said she cannot and will not leave. Her mother is helping refugees and the Ukrainian army. Her boyfriend also stays in Ukraine.

What she wants to tell Servas members worldwide is “Please support Ukraine! This small sentence holds so many hopes, feelings and tragedies that are taking place right now in my home country. Peace is not something you get for granted, peace is something you fight for. Only now do I understand.”

Supporting Ukrainian members, their emails can be found on Servas Online. Actions such as warm care or sponsorship will make them forward.
