近日忙著在中國新浪網

設置簡體字版個人部落格

原本在中國雅虎，不過編輯功能太少，又網址給的落落長

所以改到中國新浪網，編輯功能多，網址短

缺點是會員數破億造成容易塞車常斷線，

但可以感受點閱率高的快樂

 http://blog.sina.com.cn/bird1966

正體字用Word轉簡體字現在很方便

有趣的是禁忌的字眼會被**帶過，例如抗議，

令我無法理解的是世界日報也被**到。

蔡康永的部落格在中國新浪網搞得有聲有色

●鄭美珠致贈新書，與會嘉賓共同推薦。（莊米期攝） 　（記者莊米期報導）澎湖女兒鄭美珠榮獲周大觀文教基金會「二００九年第十二屆全球熱愛生命獎章」，返鄉舉辦「清風揚起澎湖夢」畫展，她堅持這次全國巡迴畫展首站一定要在自己的家鄉澎湖，除了呈現熱愛故鄉的藝術創作行銷澎湖之美，更以著作新書「沙底下的流星─白鳥鄭美珠傳奇」致贈本縣學子，回饋鄉親，透過文字傳達她對於生命永不退縮的熱情，以及對藝術創作的執著，鄭美珠的貢獻，為澎湖綻放出生命璀璨的不朽價值，以及不同凡響的藝術能量與光芒。 　鄭美珠「清風揚起澎湖夢」畫展，於昨日上午十時舉行開幕茶會暨捐贈新書「沙底下的流星」儀式，王乾發縣長、林立委夫人張端美、馬公市蘇崑雄市長、湖西鄉陳振中鄉長、周大觀文教基金會副董事長王秀文、七色一味文化公司創意總監賴美媖、本縣美術協會會長林龍秋、文化局曾慧香局長、民進黨縣黨部陳慧玲主委、澎湖青商會詹健新會長與會友，以及隘門國小許進來校長、馬公國中許喬松兩位校長，昨日也出席述說美珠求學階段、成長歲月的堅辛與加倍努力的種種過程，此外，縣內多位從事創作的藝術同好也熱烈出席。 　鄭美珠從小罹患罕見先天性魚鱗癬症，對生命與藝術的執著和熱忱，讓與會嘉賓相當感動和敬佩。王乾發表示，美珠老師是澎湖人的驕傲，在苦難中成長卻一步一腳印往上爬，縣府願意竭盡所能支持，為美珠圓夢，更希望美珠能啟發帶領澎湖的下一代創造出正面光明的未來。林立委夫人張端美當場認購美珠老師的新書，希望帶給澎湖的媽媽婦女、學生都能更多認識澎湖之美與美珠勇敢挑戰的生命態度。 　鄭美珠的新書「沙底下的流星─白鳥鄭美珠傳奇」出版，她捐贈一百本新書給縣內各級學校及圖書館，回饋鄉親，於昨日開展儀式中致贈王乾發縣長代表接受，與會嘉賓一致推薦這本好書。另外，鄭美珠也將捐贈新書的部份所得，用作白鳥美術館與幫助弱勢病童圓夢基金，以期能達到拋磚引玉，冀盼藉由此書鼓勵更多弱勢的人永不放棄，勇敢挑戰與創造豐富璀璨的積極人生！ 　鄭美珠老師昨日與大家分享她未來的夢想，她說，有句名言說「機會是給有準備的人」，但她強調：「機會是給有“計畫性”準備的人」，在她每一次的創作歷程中，總是會得到新的啟發和理念，面對未來，她有更多的計畫希望能落實朝向夢想前進。鄭美珠說，行銷澎湖之美除了透過畫作呈現，還要運用文字著作來表達澎湖人文風情的特色與內涵，她要珍惜每一次學習和進修的機會，現階段的規畫是要更精進外語能力，希望透過語言和文字實質地推銷澎湖，讓這塊土地邁向國際舞台。 　鄭美珠於一九九二至二００九年在澎湖、台北、台中、彰化、台南、高雄及國父紀念館等地舉辦數十次個展及全國藝術家聯展。她的圖文著作有《白鳥單飛》、縣文化局出版《美麗在迷霧─鄭美珠畫集》。獲得全國「青年獎章」、「馬公高中傑出校友」、「二００九年第十二屆全球熱愛生命獎章」等榮譽。其個人故事多次錄製成電視專輯及代言公益廣告，傳略圖文入編香港《世界華人藝術家成就博覽大典》、中國文化部文化藝術人才中心主編《藝術中國─第三輯》等十種辭書大典。 　鄭美珠專職藝術創作迄今創十七年，創作素材多以“澎湖”有關，部分題材是台灣和歐洲之旅。一九九一至一九九五以水彩畫為主，一九九六年至今以油畫創作為重心，近三年作品風格偏向「畫刀與畫筆的交互混合技法」，輔以圓圈狀或旋渦狀抽象圖騰，佈局畫面虛實交錯，表現完全的繪畫語言，捕捉和顛覆刻板的視覺印象，營造具想像力的思考氛圍，預留感性的「矛盾邏輯」，以豐富色彩語彙反應精神感知，繽紛新的圖像旅行，作品相當耐人尋味。此次創作展於本縣文化局文馨藝廊展出至四月二十六日止，竭誠歡迎鄉親民眾、藝術雅好踴躍前往欣賞，細細品味一番！   記者：莊米期報導 / 2009/04/12

Penghu artist receives 'Love of Life' award
Cheng Mei-chu's rare skin disorder never stood in the way of her dreams

Taiwan News Persons with real talent should never feel shame nor recoil when confronted with adversity, said local painter Cheng Mei-chu yesterday at a joint exhibition that will run until April 14 at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei. Born with Lamellar ichthyosis, a rare genetic skin disorder, Cheng's paintings are on exhibit together with those of another artist, Chen Ching-sheng, an aboriginal painter who is battling against cancer. Cheng, 43, has held 27 solo exhibitions since she began painting 17 years ago, her works numbering more than 300. Most of her paintings are set in her hometown of Penghu, with a variety of subjects depicted in vivid colors. Human and fish-shaped clouds, dexterous cats, women in scarves, and winged angels come alive with the tranquility and warmth found among the people of Penghu in her paintings. "I was lucky to be born in Penghu, where the pace of life is slower, and the people hospitable," she said at yesterday's opening ceremony. "My humane side might be concealed beneath my appearance, but others eventually see that side." Lamellar ichthyosis is a very rare disorder where an infant is born covered with a transparent membrane which sheds to reveal red scaly skin patches of varying sizes; the disorder is present throughout life. Cheng said she did not think herself different from other people because she knew that a free soul overcomes any challenge blown up by a troubled and narrow mind. "A talented person is not qualified to be ashamed of herself," she said, her eyes always teary and red due to the disorder. "My dream is to build a museum in Penghu to let more people know about its beauty." Chen Ching-sheng, the other artist whose works are featured at the exhibition, was born in Guangdong but moved to Taiwan 18 years ago. The culture and ancient traditions of Taiwan's 12 aboriginal tribes are the subjects of most of his paintings. The main organizer of the joint exhibition is Chou Ta-Kuan Cultural and Education Foundation for the Concern of Human Life, a charity dedicated to providing care for children with cancer and other serious diseases. The foundation each year gives "Love of Life Awards" to 12 recipients chosen from local and international participants judged to have manifested optimism and passion in conquering life's adversities. The foundation announced this year's 12 recipients at yesterday's exhibition opening. Besides Cheng, the other awardees included the world's first paralyzed psychologist Daniel Gottlieb, legless mountaineer Mark Inglis, and nine others. Chou Chin-huar, who founded the foundation after his son's death of cancer 12 years ago, said many people may wonder where to find the values in one's life. "One has to learn how to love. The foundation looks for role models around the world, and sometimes these life fighters are just around us," he said.

Role models with disabilities feted at ceremony in Taipei

Over the years, Cheng Mei-chu, 43, has received many looks because of her wrinkled skin and 11 fingers, but her physical disability never stopped her from pursuing her passion for art.

“I have an interest in painting, sports and literature. I have full control over my life,” Cheng said during a ceremony in Taipei. “When facing life’s challenges, one should have the courage to showcase his or her talents, have a free mind and never waste energy on unsolvable problems.”

Cheng, who was born with Ichthyosis — a severe genetic skin disorder — was among the 12 recipients of this year’s Fervent Global Love of Lives Award, chosen from 1,929 domestic and internal candidates by the Chou Ta-Kuan Foundation.

Cheng, now an art student pursuing a master’s degree, is known for the imagination displayed in her artwork, which often features scenery from her hometown in Penghu.

Despite occasional discrimination, she said she dreamed of creating a museum of art in Penghu, where she could share her joy and the beauty of the outlying islands with more people.

Another recipient was Mark Inglis, a New Zealand mountaineer who lost both legs during an intense blizzard in 1982 and later dedicated his life to helping physically disadvantaged individuals.

US columnist and psychologist Daniel Gottlieb also received the award for his battle with paralysis.

Also on the list was Wu Chung-yun, a third grader from Taichung who became completely blind as a result of a brain tumor, but who continues to paint.
