美國動物權益人士發現，迷你倉最平加州講求環保而鋪建的太陽能板竟成了飛鳥殺手，太陽能板所在之地，出現愈來愈多羽翼有焦�痕�或骨折的死鳥，部分還是受保護的物種。鳥屍羽毛燒焦折翼關注動物權益的貝爾科（Lex Berko）最近發表文章稱，在加州多個太陽能設施撿獲「翅膀燒焦」的死鳥。他指出，飛鳥要麼是受太陽能電池板的光亮面反射出的海水湖泊或天空影像誤導而撞死，要麼是羽毛被電池板折射的強烈陽光燒焦而折翼墜地。迷你倉如，在艾文帕（Ivanpah）太陽能發電廠發現34 隻非死即傷的鳥兒，近半數有焦翼。許多死鳥屬聯邦政府《候鳥條約》所保護的鳥類。貝爾科指出，太陽能設施位處全球四大候鳥遷徙路徑中的「亞太路線」（Pacific Flyway），令鳥類備受威脅。美國魚類和野生動物管理局表示，聯邦政府需要更多的有關死鳥報告， 「在我們獲得更多的科學認識下，才能好好地了解問題， 然後做出更佳的管理決定」。（綜合報道）儲存

認識兩位廣告人，儲存倉讓我開始檢討自己的科技能力。第一位是芬蘭的馬丁摩爾。他把德國愛迪達店面的櫥窗，變成一面巨大的螢幕。路人只要用手觸控，就可旋轉螢幕上真人大小模特兒的姿勢，看清楚衣服前後左右的細節。若想購買，打開手機、輸入密碼，手機就和螢幕連線。用手把螢幕上商品拖進「購物袋」，手機就同步呈現已購買，接著可用手機付費。另一位是日本的川村真司。日本的音樂電視台請他做一支廣告，主題是「音樂能拯救未來」。他先想到孩子是未來的主人翁，但覺得老套。進一步想到「精子」才是未來的主人翁。於是他用拍攝科幻片的「動作捕捉」技術，把精子游泳畫面做成動畫。這些「蝌蚪」，成了廣告中的舞者。在音樂台的網站，網友點選播放任一首歌，「蝌蚪舞者」就會隨著那首歌的節奏起舞。為什麼創意人，會想到這麼高科技的ideas？台灣這樣「文武雙全」的人才多不多？台灣的學校和企業，專業的畫分早。高二以後，文科和工科學生被編入不同類組，學的科目不同。進大學後學院不同、畢業後進的產業不同。縱使進了同一家公司，互動也很少。甚至在心態上，排斥對方的世界。很多文科學生畢業後，喜歡說「我當年數學都考10分」。很多工科學生畢業後，對電腦以外的世界毫無興趣。但在這個時代，成功的企業和個迷你倉最平，都兼具了人文和科技這兩種能力。一九八一年，賈伯斯帶員工到紐約大都會博物館，參觀路易．第凡尼的作品。第凡尼擅長在門、窗、燈上裝置類似教堂的彩繪玻璃，他的作品啟發了後來蘋果透明彩色的桌上型電腦。一九八五年賈伯斯被趕出蘋果後，到歐洲散心。羅浮宮的透明外牆，啟發了後來蘋果紐約旗艦店的透明外牆。佛羅倫斯人行道上的灰色岩石，後來變成蘋果全美零售店的地板。賈伯斯曾說蘋果麥金塔電腦成功的原因，是「團隊成員除了是電腦科學家，同時也是音樂家、詩人、藝術家、動物學家、歷史學家。」這群人用科技，讓人們的日常活動（打電話、聽音樂）充滿藝術與品味。科技以極快的速度，滲透我們的生活。科技公司也以極大的規模，改變了產業的結構。要在這個新世界成功，企業必須去招募或訓練兼具人文和科技的人才，而父母必須去培養這樣的孩子。如果有一天學程式語言的孩子，跟學英語的孩子一樣多，台灣會更有競爭力。大家都在感歎台灣的現在，憂心台灣的未來。音樂未必能拯救未來，但懂電腦科學的音樂家可以。櫥窗未必能增加GDP，但能跟手機互動的櫥窗可以！台灣的人文和科技人才都很多，但都各自發展。如果能把他們拉到同一舞台，甚至讓人才文武雙全，下一幕一定更精彩。（作者是作家、「夢想學校」創辦人）迷你倉

那天濕地公園10公里比跑道上，儲存遇到差點昏倒的男士，我在旁幫忙打傘遮著他的身體，看著其他人幫他急救，由面青唇白奄奄一息轉至清醒，這短短20分鐘的經歷，令我畢生難忘，也令我感嘆良多。每個跑者背後也有一個故事，無論是中年才開始愛上長跑，每晚放下家人，偷一點去跑的時間，享受一個人的浪漫；或已經跑了數年，以大自然為家的跑友；我們於比賽中要面對的挑戰，不是烈燄太陽，也不是又冷又濕的大雨，而是牢固在心底，輸不起給自己的心態！想當初，我們跑步的原因是甚麼？只是為了開心而已。當然，作為一個人，為了追求進步而去奮鬥並沒有問題，但奮力一戰，而能力尚未到家，一時三刻的快，卻令自己受傷，甚至有生命危險，明天的你還可以笑著跑嗎？他mini storage，這是他第二次參加長跑比賽，第一次10公里比賽跑52分鐘。對跑者而言，每一分鐘也很重要，是52還是63分鐘，我們牢記於心！我問：你有沒有參加跑會或跟教練訓練？你需要循序漸進的訓練啊！看見大家在比賽時，有多少個是邊跑邊笑？許多都是換不過氣來而面容扭曲；有些低頭死衝，但壓著喉嚨和心肺，更令呼吸不順；有些過份將上半身向前壓，令膝蓋壓力加重。跑步看似簡單的運動，但當跑者增加里數的同時，如果跑步知識不跟著一起進步而作訓練，下一個受傷的人就是自己。我愛跑步的其中一個原因是：憑藉努力不懈的訓練，就可以得到正面的回饋，在這不公平的世界，實屬難能可貴！希望大家循序漸進地進步，希望2014年渣打馬拉松沒有人死。文、圖：鄭素麗self storage

More than 16 years after Hong Kong’s return to the motherland, many families separated owing to poverty or political upheavals still remain apart.儲存 Among organizations working actively to bring people back together is the Red Cross. Li Yao reports. Macy Luk, 52, didn’t want to get her hopes up when she approached the Hong Kong Red Cross in July asking for help to find her birth parents. She learned she was an adoptive child at the age of 11, when she stumbled upon a birth certificate for a girl born on the same day she was. She knew instinctively that she was Wong Ting-lam, the girl whose name was printed on the birth certificate. Curious as she was to learn the truth, it took her more than 40 years to muster the will to find her natural parents. At the time, the 11-year-old Luk felt too shy to confront her adoptive mother with the evidence. The girl quickly put the paper back in the drawer. Luk never saw the paper again, even after her adoptive mother died in 2005. Luk felt the issue was too sensitive a topic to discuss with the only mother she ever knew and loved. “My adoptive mother and I were very close. I didn’t want to do anything that might hurt her feelings,” Lu explained. The paper cleared some of Luk’s childhood doubts. Luk never knew her adoptive father and felt confused when her adoptive mother told her that her father had died years before Luk was born. She never was able to come to terms with the reality that her natural parents gave her up. She knew it might help for her to talk to somebody about the questions that plagued her but she was afraid. She feared anyone she talked to might betray her confidence and tell her adoptive mother. Luk’s memory of the birth certificate was indelible. In July, encouraged by her husband and daughter, Luk visited the Hong Kong Red Cross’s tracing team seeking to discover the whereabouts of her birth parents. She obtained a replacement birth certificate. It listed the address where she was born: a maternity home on Shanghai Street. The place was demolished long ago. “I understand my birth parents must have led a very difficult life. I don’t blame them. The only thing I care about is that they are well,” Luk said in early September. She presented a few photos and the birth certificate to local media. Media is one of the most effective channels the tracing team employs to get out the word. It worked for Luk. Members of her family saw the news, and within a short time concluded they were the ones Luk was trying to find. There was an emotional family reunion. Luk met her natural mother, her elder sister, and her younger brother. Her father had died in 2005. Ng Yee, Luk’s birth mother, is 78. Ng said she had lived all her life in guilt. Holding Luk’s hands, Ng recalled the heartbroken decision she made in 1961. Luk was only one month old, but the family was too poor to take proper care of an infant. Through a middleman, Ng found an adoptive family for Luk. Ng saw Luk again five months later, and promised that she would not seek to see her daughter ever again. “I owe you too much. I can only pray every day, and wish you are safe, healthy, and happy,” Ng told Luk, passing a vaccination certificate of Luk’s. Ng brought Luk to get the shot, and kept it as a souvenir. The era of family separation What happened to Luk was a common occurrence from the early years of the 20th century until the 1960s. Hong Kong’s population surged from less than a million in the early 1930s to 2.3 million in 1950. Mainland refugees poured in during the Japanese invasion but life wasn’t easy here. They continued their struggles through extremes of poverty, hunger, rationing of daily necessities. Unschooled in family planning, women gave birth to five, six children, or even more. Desperate parents unable to support so many children often sold their children or gave them away to people who were better off. As often as not the rejected ones, the ones given away, were girls. Ng Mai-lin, 58, remembers watching on a day long ago as her youngest sister was taken away by a couple she did not know迷你倉 It was 1961. Ng was six. Their father had been killed in an accident before the youngest sister was born. Their mother had four older children to look after. “I saw my mother talk to the couple in our house. The baby was crying. I was asked to carry her to a distance,” Mai-lin said. She heard that the couple, pharmacists, had come to Hong Kong to take the baby to the United States. They handed Mai-lin’s mother a red envelope containing HK$100. In the months that followed, Mai-lin recalled seeing her mother lying on the bed, crying. The heartbreak never left her. Mai-lin’s mother, now in her 80s, has been taking anti-depressants for decades. Mai-lin and her siblings would talk about where this sister is now and wish the best for her. They never dared ask their mother where their youngest sister had gone. “At that time, only wealthier families could afford to adopt a child. The couple seemed nice and educated. The youngest sister would have a great future and better chances than growing up with us,” she said. Liu Chun-fan, 81, remembers the day that changed his life. He was abducted from his home in Shantou, Guangdong, on a day when he went out searching for firewood. He followed a woman who had told him where he could find wood shavings. She led him to a boat and encouraged him to step aboard. “Once aboard, I knew I was abducted. For a scared 8-year-old, there was no turning back,” Liu recalled. Liu was taken to Xingning, where a different dialect to his familiar native tongue was spoken. He was sold and lived there for six years. In 1946, he made his way to Hong Kong. When he was able to scrape together enough money for bus fare, he headed home to find his parents. The neighborhood he remembered was no longer there. He couldn’t remember his family name. “My parents must have died by now. I may have a chance to find my siblings,” Liu said during an interview last month. Restoring family links Every year, the Hong Kong Red Cross opens about 220 cases like these. It boasts a success rate of 35 percent finding parents who gave up their children in the 1950s and 1960s. The tracing service is free. Bessy Tam, program officer of the tracing service, said the more information seekers can provide, the greater the chance they will find their lost family members. For the tracing team to accept a case, either the person being sought, or the person initiating the search, must live in Hong Kong. If a case does not meet either criterion, Tam recommends families to try other avenues, such as private investigators, and some other enterprises that will make enquiries for a fee. Even government death records may prove a useful resource. The tracing team has two full-time employees and nine volunteers, mostly retirees. “We don’t want to give people false hope. People come to us, regardless of the result. They have at least tried to come to terms with their past, and after they have tried, hold no more regrets,” Tam said. Siu Kwok-kin, a professor specializing in Hong Kong history and culture at Chu Hai College of Higher Education, has collected accounts detailing the selling of children to wealthier families. He found the accounts in local antique shops. He considered them invaluable archives, documenting Hong Kong’s past. “It was so prevalent during those difficult times, when people lived in poverty, and had no contraceptive knowledge,” Siu said. He cited his own mother as an example. Siu’s mother gave birth to eight children, until finally she went to a hospital to undergo a ligation to prevent further pregnancies. Ligation often was a choice known among only a few women at that time, Siu said. Contact the writer at liyao@chinadaily.com.cn I owe you too much. I can only pray every day, and wish you are safe, healthy, and happy.” ng yee birth mother of macy luk We don’t want to give people false hope. People come to us, regardless of the result.

A class discussion about whether a Chinese cultural class should be taught in Putonghua touched off a broader public debate about one of the central issues critical to Hong Kong’s future prosperity.儲存倉 Timothy Chui reports Few people doubt the statistical evidence that Hong Kong needs “fresh blood” to keep the city growing and its economy flourishing. Hong Kong is pinning its hope for the future on immigration of top quality talent from the mainland. Hong Kong got off to a good start after embarking on a concerted program to attract top-tier students from the mainland. They come with the highest grades and they come by the thousands. The reality is, Hong Kong needs them more than they need Hong Kong, and most don’t stay. “Many [mainland students] are the cream of a huge pool. It’s easy to see why locals see them as a threat [in the job market]. At the same time, an international city like Hong Kong cannot be self-sufficient in talent. We should welcome those who can make contributions to our economy,” Executive Council member Bernard Chan said. There is a real price to be paid if Hong Kong alienates cross border students who come here to pursue their goals for the future. The city confronts a demographic nightmare: an aging population, a low fertility rate that some say is “irreversible”, and a worsening “dependency ratio” with fewer workers supporting more elderly. More people are leaving the work force than joining it, and in just eight years, there will be more people over 60 than under 15. “The reality in Hong Kong is that a lot of companies need workers urgently today. The labor shortage is quite severe in many industries,” said Eddy Li, the vice-president of the Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong. “It is the business environment and the talents that have made gigantic contributions to Hong Kong’s economic development. Now, if mainland students are willing to work in Hong Kong after graduation, they can help relieve an intensifying labor shortage and benefit the accumulation of talent in our city,” he said. “Compared to the great importance Singapore attaches to foreign talents, it is sad to see some Hong Kong people adopting hostile attitudes toward mainland students,” he said. Yet, some are determined to foster this hostility. The class discussion that began the latest public debate came about because the professor delivering the Essence of Chinese Culture, a course at the City University of Hong Kong, had taken pains, according to some students, to deliver his lectures in Cantonese and Putonghua. The syllabus stated the course was to be taught in Cantonese. Language discretion The opposition press jumped on the professor’s “transgression” and started whipping up a frenzy about a greater conspiracy to supplant Cantonese as the language of instruction and replace it with Putonghua. The reality proves much less sinister. The majority of the students in the class were cross-border students: mother tongue — Putonghua. The professor merely diverted for a moment from his principal lecture to elaborate cultural nuances that otherwise might be lost on non-Cantonese students. The University of Hong Kong’s School of Modern Languages and Cultures Professor Stephen Chu Yiu-wai advocates greater discretion for professors to select their medium of instruction based on their class make up and their own language skills. “If instructors are Cantonese speakers, it’s best for them to stick to what they know. My Putonghua is not that good. If I use Putonghua, it would be not effective,” he said. Still, the classroom discussion highlights a critical question. What should Hong Kong do to encourage mainland students who come here to stay and become major contributors to Hong Kong’s future prosperity? Competition for talent has gone global and has turned ferocious. A glance at market dominance in the smartphone industry reveals the shifting landscape: Palm Pilot, Blackberry, Sony Erikson, Nokia, Samsung and Apple are like the carriages of a passing parade. Market standing is driven by ideas generated by people of talent. Hong Kong faces that kind of competition too, striving for a place among regional competitors, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Singapore, and global competitors, New York and London. There are underlying economic, social and cultural issues that motivate mainland stu迷你倉最平ents to leave Hong Kong after they graduate. They complain about being lumped as “locusts” and feel socially marginalized. They dislike the cramped housing conditions and the fact that prices are so high the hope of owning their own homes is out of reach. They face discrimination from prospective employers who prefer to hire native Cantonese speakers. Graduates who take high level jobs in New York or London need to speak English. In Zurich, there are four principal languages. Milan, Tokyo, Frankfurt all present similar challenges. So the question is not about Cantonese versus Putonghua. The primacy of Cantonese in Hong Kong is guaranteed under the Basic Law. The question is how to recruit and maintain talent within a competitive global market. So where does the middle ground lie to fulfill Hong Kong’s need for fresh blood while safeguarding the interests of the young people born and raised here? Hong Kong’s universities are nearly universal in using English as the medium of instruction except for a handful of language and cultural courses. Hong Kong’s foreign students are overwhelmingly from the mainland. They made up just over one percent of Hong Kong’s university students in 1997. Fifteen years later, that number stands at 8.78 percent of the 87,604 undergraduate and post graduate students. Their numbers lend weight to the argument that more classes be delivered in Putonghua. Broaden horizon It has become standard practice to deliver a portion of the lecture in Putonghua for classes dominated by mainland students, such as the case of the City University’s one-semester introductory course Essence of Chinese Culture. There is also a skills gap at the teacher level when it comes to offering parallel courses in Putonghua, Polytechnic University Associate Dean Shae Wan-chaw said. “Teachers today are not that fluent in [Putonghua]”, he said. It would be cost prohibitive to offer classes in both languages. Many of the issues confronting mainland students are the issues faced by the society at large. And for many students, though they may be at the top of their respective classes, they come to an alien environment, the first time they are away from homes. “When you study overseas you are expected to learn some of the local language, and for mainland students coming to Hong Kong it is better for them to learn a little bit of Cantonese. Part of paying to study abroad is the cultural experience. So long as Hong Kong is trilingual, it is better to expose yourself to both,” said Stephen Chu If you study anywhere in Europe outside of the UK, you’ll probably need to pick up some of the local language, if not to network better than to feed yourself, he said. “University is supposed to be an experience to broaden horizons and experience diversity and Hong Kong is famous for its’ diversity,” he said. Individual differences and personal tastes aside, Hong Kong still has a part to play to welcome the newcomers. Hong Kong’s ability to attract the offspring of the super wealthy have also given the city’s economy a shot in the arm. More than 235,000 mainland students studying in the US contributed USD6.8b to the economy last year according to the Institute of International Education, which means the average mainland student pumps about HK$228,000 into Hong Kong’s economy every year. The growth has been marked yet there is no reason to assume it will continue unobstructed. Non-local students are facing tuition hikes of up to 20 percent this year to offset a stronger Yuan while fees for locals remain locked. Fundraising, pumping out more academic research and alumni bequests are all valuable channels for extra cash, but foreign students remain among the most lucrative avenues of bolster school budgets. Post-handover, its future lies in attracting and keeping the very same kind of immigrants which have never been better educated and so far, Hong Kong has been pretty successful in attracting some of the best mainland students.
