August 29 转一封台湾同学的邮件 其实我们真的都是一家人台风受灾的地方，都是我们刚刚去过的地方。说起来，这位去救灾的Jerry也是我的老乡——外公是成都人，跟我提起长辈们在家也还说家乡话，家里吃得很辣，常常也会做凉拌三丝。不能多做什么，就帮他转这封邮件吧。
各位親愛的朋友、同胞:
這幾天在屏東縣佳冬鄉救災後發現, 南部的鄉下地方這次受到嚴重的破壞, 許多戶家庭淹水仍然未退, 我們輔大同學們努力幫忙把淤泥往外推, 但是由於當地整個排水系統已經損壞,水排不出去, 一到下雨全部的泥漿又滿起來進入房舍, 使我們常常做白工. 而林邊因為靠近海, 泥沙裡又參有沙石, 使得清理工作更為困難, 每每我們國軍弟兄都要靠推土機等設備一趟一趟把泥沙帶走, 緩不濟急.(國軍們真的很辛苦, 我們看到陸軍海軍的弟兄都出動了, 他們真的冒生命的危險在做事, 請不要再批判他們)
而隨著時間流逝與天氣炎熱, 許多地方的傢俱和一些物品都因為浸泡時間太久而腐敗, 加上又有死魚, 豬糞便等物質, 使空氣充滿惡臭, 免疫力差的小孩與老人如果生活在這種環境很容易被感染細菌, 我自己便因為手部被淤泥沾到而回到宿舍時馬上起紅疹, 所以整個環境非常"毒", 有國軍弟兄在救災過程中受傷馬上爆發敗血症而死亡, 所以我們都要很小心, 不管有多小的傷口都要馬上回國軍醫務所打破傷風針, 以免病菌進入血液, 引起敗血症.
1. 其實數年前的921就是台灣一個警惕, 這次的土石流, 除了山坡地的濫墾之外, 檳榔樹就是一大隱憂, 檳榔樹本來的根就不深, 如果只是種在平原也就算了, 但是如果是種在山坡地, 一到颱風或地震很容易就被吹倒, 所以土地更容易鬆動.
2. 盜採砂石早已經不是新鮮事, 這次南部的斷橋很多都是因為河床的砂石被挖光, 河床越變越淺, 使得橋墩的深度不夠, 導致支撐力不足演變成斷橋..
3. 南部養殖魚業因為抽地下水因此地層不斷下陷, 所以洪水與海水一倒灌, 整個地區就變成水鄉澤國, 這次水災的地區就飽受魚塭災變之苦.
講來講去這些議題都已不是新鮮的話題, 但是我們沒有去改變過, 所以代價就是一次一次地受到自然反仆, 接著就是大家要付出更多的勞力與物力, 修繕費等等去補償這些後果. 我想, 人是健忘的, 所以我們不管是人民或政府才會一直輕忽這些事情的嚴重性, 讓我們為這塊土地祈禱吧!
H1N1又要再度引爆大流行, 這個4月份大家都認為無傷大雅的流感現在又要死恢復然, 我們一直認為死亡率很低但台灣偏偏就在短期內出現了3個死亡病歷, 我們除了自己的安危以外, 也請多多關照需要我們幫助的人, 自己如果身體不適一定要就醫, 平常在街上看到慈濟或是紅十字會等團體在捐錢捐血也在可以達到的範圍內多幫幫忙, 1萬2萬不嫌多, 1塊5塊不嫌少, 積砂成塔, 效果一定是有的.
最後, 即使你甚麼都做不到, 你可以祈禱, 不論你相信甚麼神, 我相信在最上面都是同一位, 請你將自己內心的力量擴大, 讓上蒼憐憫我們的同胞, 給他們日用的飲食, 救他們脫離苦難!!

Dear All My Friends:
I thank you very much for reading this mail. I sincerely beg for your mercy to pray for the victims in southern Taiwan who suffered so much in this time of the typhoon-stricken period.
There are many aspects to observe this disaster. I would say that people never learn from the history and we always pay for what we have neglected. This time, too, is a cruel result of ignorance and un-prevention of natural disaster. Now the work for us is even harder than prevention.
First, the beetle nut trees was probably the main factor in causing the mudslide. The fact is that beetle nut trees do not root very deeply under the soil, so everytime when there is an earthquake or typhoon, beetle nut trees just fall down, so is the soil loosened. I think our government does not learn the lesson from 921 earthquake, for which beetle nut trees were also the main cause.
Second, the over-exploitation of the sand along our river is the killer of our people. Due to the lack of building material, people in Taiwan just use the sand under the river to build houses. Once a large quantity of sand is used up, the bridges could not stand very firm and when the flood come, the bridge destroyed.
Third, there are too many fish-feeding ponds in southern Taiwan. These ponds are all man-made. They use the underground water to water the ponds, however, its feedback consequence is that our land horizon has been sinking gradually. As this typhoon brought us heavy rain, both the water from the mountain and the retreat of the tides along the shore brought an incredible amount of water to the sinking area. People and their fish are all drowned.
All I can say is that we do not respect this mother earth so the nature recovers in its own way. The most serious problem in the area now is the contagious disease and many children and older people exposed under the "venomous" environment, especially the H1N1 is also resuming very recently, we are very afraid of the spreading of the contagious disease among the sheltering houses for these victims.
If you can do something, please do not withdraw your hand. If you can not do anything, please pray. There is never too much prayer for the victims and the suffered.
