Sydney Royal Easter Show

First time at Sydney Royal Easter Show 2025: Local Charm, Lots of Fun!

It was my first time attending the Sydney Royal Easter Show, and what surprised me most was the diversity of the programme. From agricultural competitions, animal shows and craft markets, to floral competitions, woodworking skills, rides and parades, the whole event was like a well-planned village carnival. You can get up close to the animals and see the spirit of many of the workers on display. However, without the Taiwanese flavour of the stalls, something was missing. Overall, this 100-year-old event gave me a deeper understanding of the cultural values of rural Australia.

千禧漫波

Taiwan as Seen through the Millenium Comic Wave: Changes and Expectations under the Dance of Time

Watching Millennium Waves at the Sydney Opera House in Australia was my first encounter with this production on the big screen. Through Shu Qi's portrayal of Vicky, I witnessed the chaos and agitation of Taiwan around the millennium, and mirrored the struggles, choices and growth of Taiwanese people through time. The smoke, tunnels and snow symbolise relationships, egos and colonised memories, while Vicky's transformation echoes my hopes for Taiwan's future - may we all learn to step out of our confusion, just as she has done, to embrace the beauty and freedom of the future with gusto.

Lamington

【澳洲飲食故事】01: Lamington

某個下班午後回到Ettalong Beach，點了杯冰拿鐵與一塊Lamington蛋糕，開啟一段屬於澳洲的悠閒時光。這塊看似平凡的甜點，其實是經典澳洲美食，背後有著多種傳說故事與歷史意義。從總督命名到法國廚師的巧手創作，它代表的不只是味蕾享受，更是澳洲多元文化的縮影。每一口，都是對在地文化的細膩品味。

該死的阿修羅

善惡非2分法：《該死的阿修羅》中的人性掙扎與意識流動

《該死的阿修羅》這場隨機槍擊事件，像是撥開了社會結構的多重裂縫。導演安排了多重敘事與結局，讓角色的命運不只一種可能，也讓觀眾能自由選擇站在哪個視角理解罪與惡。我早已難以用單一價值看待人與事──因為人性是流動的。聖經經文的詮釋，也為憤怒與赦免提供一種深層對照：當我們都不完美，又該如何理解他人、赦免自己？那不死的阿修羅，其實正是我們複雜又誠實的意識本身。

【澳洲mate!音樂故事】01:〈True Blue〉

2020年辭去辦公室工作，與伴侶展開澳洲打工度假生活，從地瓜、番茄、藍莓到香菜採收，成了跪在泥土裡的農場小天才。在塔州我們與當地居民共度單純真摯的日子，也在勞動中建立深厚情感。某日，一首〈True Blue〉音樂故事打開了我對澳洲文化的探索，也讓我找回創作初心與自信。
