亞裔傳統月 exploreASIAN festivalA Bridge to Taiwan – Series of Taiwanese Films
From the late Pope John Paul II in Vatican to AIDS patients in Zimbabwe, the 76-years-old Taiwan-based Swiss priest, Father Josef Eugster has worked small miracles on the feet of tens of thousands of people in Taiwan and the whole world.
Swiss missionary Father Josef Eugster has made his life in Taiwan for over the last 45 years, launched a revival of the ancient art of reflexology. Fr. Josef may not be the best evangelist for converting people to Christianity, but he’s easily Taiwan’s most famous and influential foreign priest. He declares his pioneering foot massage in Taiwan to be the “God’s gift.”
Fr. Josef speaks fluent Mandarin. Actually, his accent is more Taiwanese because the first language he learned after arriving in Taiwan was Taiwanese. Back then, a shy young man from the Swiss village of Berneck came to a small east coast town Taitung(台東) where people pray in shrines and Amis Aborigines hunt and hold traditional ceremonies by the sea.
He recalled that during his first few years in Taitung, his Taiwanese sermons always made people doze off. He prayed to God, asking God to give him a good method for preaching, and then God made him sick with severe rheumatoid arthritis. He is grateful that he happened to have read the book about reflexology and began massaging first his own and then the Taiwanese people’s feet.
Once, an old man was leaving the church after the mass complained of a headache. Fr. Josef grabbed his feet, showed him where is a reflex area for his headache and began massaging to ease his pain.
Unlike other Western priests brought rice or flour to remote villages, Fr. Josef brings his hands. And His Taitung Catholic Church has been packed ever since.
One time Fr. Josef was hospitalized and couldn’t do any massage. He asked people to go to the beach to find pebbles to step on, which later became the origin of “pebble paths” now meandering through many of Taiwan’s parks.
The Taiwanese Catholic Church was once not too happy with him, because some think foot reflexology is not a priest’s work. Such sentiment changed in 2003 when Fr. Josef was arranged by Taiwan’s ambassador to the Vatican, one of only 26 countries that recognize Taiwan
over Beijing diplomatically, to serve foot reflexology to Pope John Paul II.
In 2003, the Taiwan ambassador to Vatican wrote a letter to the bishop that there is a reverend in Taiwan who uses foot reflexology as a means to spread the word of the Church. He hoped that the Vatican would give the reverend an opportunity to try and come to the aid of the pope. The ambassador wrote such a letter three times, he finally received a reply.
On November 26, 2003, Fr. Josef Eugster made his first visit into the bedroom of Pope John Paul II. He situated himself at the feet of Pope John Paul II and began giving the pope a foot massage. He told the pope that foot reflexology is the way that he
spread the gospel in Taiwan. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that one day his massaging talents would be precisely what would get him through the doors of the Vatican in to see the pope.
After Fr. Josef told Pope John Paul II foot reflexology is how he spread the gospel in Taiwan and explained how it worked. The opposition from the Church stopped soon after.
Fr. Josef always say “If you know the reflexology zones you can help yourself. The best doctors in the world are in your body, but most people don’t know.” And “The meaning of life is to reduce people’s pain and to make life more joyful. That’s what I want to do.” He clearly proclaimed that he aims to follow the footsteps of Jesus in giving comfort to the poor.
Fr. Josef’s schedule is packed with speaking engagements, visiting a circuit of Amis tribes’ churches and practicing massage. Despite his fame, he remains a simple man, working in Chang-Ping(長濱), a small village at the border between Hualien(花蓮) and Taitung.
“This is the most beautiful place in the world, with mountains and the sea.” Fr. Josef said. He has a farm for growing vegetables and he often goes swimming in the sea, and sometimes fishing too. This Swiss priest is reaching out for soles in Taiwan for the rest of his life.

The Tsang Festival is held on the fifth day of fifth lunar month and signifies the beginning of summer. The Tsang festival is known as Poet’s Day in memory of Chinese poet Chu Yuan, who committed suicide in the Mi Lo River in China to protest the corruption of the era. After his death, many were so moved that they cast rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, or tsang, into the Mi Lo River to feed Chu Yuan’s soul. Tsang came to be the primary food eaten during this festival. Taiwanese tsang, in contrast to Chinese tsang, is shaped like a tetrahedron, and sweet tsang in particular is unique to Taiwan. It contains baking soda and is typically eaten cold dipped in either syrup or sugar. Mung bean cakes and salty duck eggs are also eaten during the Tsang Festival. Dragon boats races are popular on Poet’s Day to commemorate Chu Yuan’s death in the river.
If you are the earth, I am the rain in the sky I pour the rain to earth; whether heavy or light You always accept me Never complain to me And you welcome me every time
Mother!
If you are the sea, I am a seagull I can feel free flying and wandering around everywhere When I feel completely exhausted I want a big soft hug from you And you welcome me every time
Mother!
If you are a bridge, I am the running water under the bridge I will always accompany you As I murmur and gurgle to say I love you! I love you!
Grandma Hsueh-Er began painting at age 69. Since then, painting has become an important part of her life. Mother of six daughters and one son, Hsueh-Er has seen Taiwan society go through dramatic changes during her life. She experienced the Japanese occupation period before the end of the Second Would War, and has witnessed the flowering of social freedoms now.
Grandma Hsueh-Er could very well be compared to the United States’ Grandma Moses, who began painting late in her life and created many works portraying the folklore and history of America. A self-taught artist, Grandma Hsueh-Er has transferred her memories into paintings which capture the spirit of earlier periods in Taiwan’s history and recollect events from her life.
Memories of a Grandmotherby Lee Huang Hsueh-Er
Preserving one’s life stories is a test of wisdom. I have chosen the canvass as the medium on which to lay out the images of my life.
I was born in Hsinchu(新竹), but moved to Chiayi(嘉義) at a young age with my parents. My childhood was spent helping out in the family businesses, which included a soy sauce factory and a general store. After getting married, I divided my time between helping my husband manage his construction materials store and raising our seven children.
After our children had grown up, and my husband and I had retired from our business, I received a set of painting instruments from my eldest daughter, who feared an easy retirement life would be too drastic a change for me and hoped painting could help me pass my days. However, we stored the instruments away and thought little about them because I had never painted before. One day a year later, I was overcome by a sudden urge to paint. I painted a cow resting underneath a tree. That initial attempt drew praise and encouragement from my grandchildren, daughters, and son-in-laws, which sparked my interest and confidence in painting.
Even though I have never received formal training in arts, every time I pick up a paint brush, images from the past vividly present themselves before my eyes: helping to put on soy sauce labels as a child, running into a sugar cane field to hide from an American air raid during the Second World War, seeing burning houses after the raid and an unexploded bomb left hanging from a telephone pole, leaving my mother as I began my married life, and
raising my own children in the years afterwards. Paintings from these memories represent my life journey thus far.
One day some years ago, an unexpected visitor, Mr. Daniel Bloom passed by my house and showed interest in my paintings hanging on the wall in my living room. We began chatting and eventually became good friends. It was because of Daniel’s enthusiasm and encouragement that I accepted an invitation from the Chiayi City Hall’s Cultural Department to launch my first art exhibition in 2002, which introduced to the public many details of the life of Taiwanese people in the past.
With many friends’ and relatives’ generous encouragements, especially my husband’s support, I will keep on painting in the future.

要挑選:Red Delicious及 Granny Smith品種的蘋果的抗癌指數是其他如 Fuji或 Golden Delicious的兩倍。蕃茄中,San Marzano品種的抗癌指數最高。生長在冷氣候用以釀酒的葡萄的抗癌指數比較高。説 吃發芽菜。發了芽的清菜花的抗癌指數比較高。
説 上下抖動茶包。泡茶時,抖動的茶包會釋放出更多的抗癌分子。
説 蕃茄煮過,抗癌指數比較高。
説 吃綠葉菜。細嚼的綠葉菜會釋放酵素,這酵素會引觸藏在葉子深處的抗癌分子。
説 吃黃豆。發酵的黃豆,如味噌,比普通黃豆多出四倍的抗癌指數。
説 每餐選一個抗癌食物。一年下來,我們便可吃到超過一千種抗癌食物。
除此以外,血管新生協會還提創“Do It Yourself Health Revolution”希望醫療可由“強調疾病轉向強調療癒”;由昂貴、一般人無法得到照顧,轉向人人可付得起、人人可以得到的醫療照顧。這個制度把個人放在中心,並會提供工具幫個人可以負責自己的健康照顧,也讓自己能夠:説 自我求知:幫助自己找尋有科學根據的健康資訊、經驗及專家意見。説 自我管理:使用工具每天衡量及評估與健康有關的表現:如飲食、運動、休息、情緒及生理上的運作。説 自我培養:種植蔬、果、香料及其他植物,提供自己飲食及治療上的需要。説 自我照顧:利用現有的資訊,建立一套適合個人生活及健康方式的範疇。這個 DIY健康革命提供一個有現代研究依據,並促成個人健康的實際行動,也很容易帶動整個家庭或社區的參與:
