Bring LOVE to people will make us stronger


自從311日本地震以來,台灣每天都播放著日本災區新聞,全球都很關心這次的天災,由地震引發海嘯、火災及核災,並祈禱災害早點平息。或許新聞已經太多了,但還是想寫一下,由台灣各家電視台合辦十七號《送愛到日本311賑災募款晚會》與十八號 《相信希望fight&smile 賑災募款晚會 》


Since 311 Japan earthquake, stunami, fire and nuclear radiation alert. This is shocking news all over the world, everyone hope Japanese can recover from the damage sooner, and hope there won’t be any natural disaster on earth...




覺得台灣人真的很有人情味,地理上來說這麼小的一個國家,我們的總統可以在賑災晚會上跟其他明星、工作人員,坐在一起接捐款的電話,各家電視台、主持人不分你我一起來幫日本受災地區募款。Matilda是無黨派的,不特別支持民進黨或國民黨,但是,聽到總統在17號募款晚會前跟全國人民精神喊話,真的深受感動,

’我們希望在全世界讓人家知道台灣,台灣是一個有愛心的社會,中華民國是一個願意幫助人的國家,發揮我們的愛心來幫助我們的日本朋友。’


In Taiwan, the two days event ‘ Send love to Japan, 311 disaster relief fundraiser event ‘ is on most of channels from 17 to 18 March. This event is hold by lots of TV companies in Taiwan. Our president gave us a speech before the event, which I personally feel very touching…

“ We would like to let people in the world to know Taiwan. Taiwan is a country that full of love, is a country that willing to help others, let’s send our love to Japan and help our friends.”




在別的國家生活幾年,大家都很努力盡量把台灣人、事、物好的一面傳達給國際知道,我們在聯合國沒有辦法發聲,我們今年歐盟好不容易才免申根,有時候跟外國人說來自台灣還被誤認為泰國(大概是英文發音,Matilda就遇過好幾次,應該不是我長得像泰國人吧?誤)這兩天幾乎可說是全民運動的晚會,真的可以感受到台灣人心地善良,美好的一面。


Taiwan is a small country geographically; we are not part of United Nations; we can finally travel to European without Schengen visa this year; sometime when I tell people that I am from Taiwan, they confused it with Thailand…(yeah, it happened really!) But we do have lovely people who helping friends from different countries; we do have a president who answering phone calls for donation during the event. 




我們台灣面積很小,但是台灣人心很大。或許我們的政府跟人民還有很多需要替自己與他人努力的地方,但是,Matilda由衷地覺得,身為台灣人真好!

Taiwan might be a small country geographically indeed, but Taiwanese have a big love. Matilda feels very proud to be a Taiwanese.
