My Thoughts after Award by Lao Wu (Utopia)
获奖感受 文：老乌
Having been serving in Guangzhou Youth Volunteer Association notelessly for many years, I think the volunteer job is my greatest honor. In March 2005, I was honorably awarded with “the golden prize of 2004 Youth Volunteer Service of China” by the Central Commission of China Communist Youth League. To some extent, I felt somewhat ashamed to accept the prize because many of my dreams had not been realized and I had not been the best as I wished to be. However, when I thought that the honor also belonged to all the volunteers of GYVA, and would be good for the publication of our future volunteer work, I then delightedly went and accept the award.
在广州青年志愿者协会默默地耕耘了很多年，义务工作本身就是我最大的荣誉。2005年3月我很荣幸地获得了团中央颁发的“2004年度中国青年志愿服务金奖奖章”。去领取这个奖，本来觉得心中有愧，因为还有很多梦想没有实现，还没有做到理想中的最好。但是，想到这个荣誉也属于我们广青的全体志愿者，想到有利于今后我们的志愿工作宣传，还是很欣喜地去领了这个奖项回来。
We have got used to encourage each other in frustrations and more used to power up in the achieved successes, so that we can go further with more confidence step by step. Why choose to be a volunteer? First, it is a trial and a practical feeling of being a social participant, then it is the responsibility and the persistence.
我们习惯了在挫折中互相勉励，更习惯了从收获的成功中吸取力量，一步步走得更远更有信心。为什么选择参与义工？首先是一个新尝试，一份真实的社会参与感，然后是一份责任感，一份坚持心。
The high spirit when I joined into GYVA in 2000 has been turned into the many specific small things: From visiting an old widowed, learning how to communicate with old persons, taking an old person to hospital, fixing their appliances, cleaning… to being captain of Qizhi Service Team, then, started learning all kinds of medical knowledge, helping children with cerebral paralysis to recover, and teaching the kids in welfare house to draw and to write. In the many “thank you” that I have heard, the most unforgettable sound was from a cerebral paralysis kid; after over half a year recovery treatment, the kid slowly opened his mouth and said the word “Xiexie (Thank you)”. From then on, I have got the happiness that will never dry, though such happiness is usually accompanied with some pale sadness. The hard life of the disabled, the bad education conditions of the mountain area children, the loneliness and the helpless of the street sleepers, the confession voices of the delinquent children, the expecting eyes of the orphans… all these make my soul unrestful and sad. Sometimes, I would feel great pleasant for one of their thank you or just a little of their progresses. But, most of the time, I feel I am really so weak, what I can do is so little and little whilst those who are in need are so many and many.
2000年参加广州青年志愿者协会的时候，内心的澎湃的激情化为了一件件实实在在的小事：从探访照顾一名孤寡老人开始，学习怎样和老人家聊天拉家常，带老人家去医院诊病，维修电器、清洁卫生……后来成为了启智服务总队队长，又开始学习各类专业医疗知识，为脑瘫孩子进行康复理疗、教福利院的小朋友画画写字。我曾经听过无数的“谢谢”，最难忘的一声是一名原本不会说话的脑瘫小朋友，半年多康复理疗后，慢慢地张开口型，说出了“谢谢”两个字！从此我就有了自己永不枯竭的快乐，虽然这快乐也常常伴随着绵绵的忧伤。残疾者生活的艰辛、山区儿童恶劣的就学环境、街头露宿者的孤独无助、高墙里的犯罪青少年忏悔的声音、孤儿院孩子们满是期盼的眼神……这些都常常令我的灵魂久久不安，黯然神伤。有时候他们的一声谢谢、他们的一点一滴的进步会给我带来很大的满足，但是更多的时候，我都是感到自己力量实在太微小，所能做的是那么少那么少，而需要帮助的人却是那么多那么多。
We work steadily to today. All these make me feel more confident towards tomorrow. I have seen a civilian society come into being. However, compare with some advanced countries and regions, we still have much more work to do. I wish some day we have more people who take the volunteer job as a common thing, like a daily meal of a leisure drink, as the citizens in Hong Kong do, to form the volunteer job as a culture, as a convention.
我们一步一个脚印，走到今天，所有这些都让我对明天更有信心，我目睹了一个文明社会的形成。但是与一些先进的国家和地区比，我们的差距还是很大。我希望有一天我们能有更多人像香港的市民一样把做义工当成一件很平常的事情，像吃饭和饮茶一样，让义务工作成为一种文化，成为人们的习惯。
Years’ insistence is a wish to pass over a love. Years’ insistence is because of the purest smiles and the clearest eyes in I saw in serving. I am not alone in this road, because there are many people in the same road, and because I believe in this road I can meet many more people who want to dedicate themselves in volunteer jobs and who have a same name as I do – Volunteer!
也许多年的坚持，就是希望能把一份爱心传递下去。也许多年的坚持，是因为在付出的过程中看到了最纯真的笑容、最纯净的眼神。一路上我并不寂寞，因为那许许多多的同路中人。因为相信在这条路上，我还会认识更多有志于志愿事业的、和我一样有着同一个名字的人：义务工作者。
Wishes from a colorless world
无色世界的祝福 by Si Niang (Also know as so-and-so)
To give is one way or intercommunication? The beneficiary is one side or both?
A real story is shared for everybody:
馈赠，是单向还是双向的？得到满足的人，是一方还是彼此？
和大家分享一个真实的故事：v=iVT*
On March 21st 2005, Monday, noon time, at the entrance of a post office in Dongshan District, an old beggar, Diet Coffee and Si Niang.
I was going to post a letter to one of my best high classmates in the UK in the break time at noon, Diet Coffee accompanied on my way to Dongshan post office.
2005年3月21日，周一，中午时分，东山区邮局门口，乞讨的伯伯，斋啡与四娘。
我要寄一封信去英国给我最好的高中同学，利用午休时间，赶到东山区邮局，斋啡与我同行。
I was such a pepperbox that I almost rushed into the post office once arrived.
But, Diet Coffee held me and asked me if I had got some small changes.
I looked into every pockets and got only a five-dime note, passed to him. I was curious why he asked for small changes.
He took the note and gave to the old beggar outside the post office entrance.
Then, I noticed that the old man, blind, was speaking loudly and hopingly all the time: “Wish you good health and peace in and out!” But, I didn’t pay more attention to the old man, what I cared about was the letter that I was going to post.
Letter, weighed. I, paid. After somewhile, my mission was accomplished and I was delightedly walking out of the office.
Diet Coffee’s first word was: “He wishes you good health and peace in and out!” (He passed the old man’s wishes to me.)
Next day, Diet Coffee gave me a ring. In the phone talk, I knew another story.
That day, a granny after me also gave the old man some money. The old man spoke loudly: “Wish you good health and peace in and out!” So, the granny smiled and offered him a bow and replied with a thank you.
It was she to give, but she said “thank you” for his wishes… (Reminded that the old man was blind, he couldn’t see her bow; but the granny did so still.)
Yes, the granny was giving her money, and so the old man is giving his wishes. The old man was benefited with the granny’s changes and the granny was delighted with the old man’s wishes.
我急性子，一见到邮局，便急急忙忙想跑进去。r
斋啡拉住我，问我有没有零钱。f}rF
我左翻右翻找了半天，只找到了一张皱巴巴的五角钱，递给了他。我心想，他要零钱来干什么呢。Dy|`
他拿着钱，给了在邮局门口旁边乞讨的伯伯。:$VsU@
哦，我才发觉到，那个伯伯一直在很大声地卖力叫喊“祝你身体健康，出入平安”！，他，还是一个盲人。但我没有更多的留意伯伯，我的心，只是在挂念我要寄的信。-u
信，量重；我，交钱。一番工夫之后，我完成了任务，满意地走出邮局。|<{pZR
斋啡第一句话，就是说：“他祝你身体健康，出入平安”。（他把伯伯的祝福转给了我）)
到了下一天，斋啡打电话给我，谈话的过程之中，我知道了其他的故事。~ZPC7D
那天，在我们之后也有个婆婆给钱那位乞讨的伯伯。伯伯大声地说：“祝你身体健康，出入平安”！婆婆微笑着向他鞠一下躬，说了声：“谢谢”。ETEi
虽然是她的馈赠，但她却感谢他的祝福……（重温：伯伯是个盲人，他根本看不见婆婆的鞠躬，但她仍然如此去做）I\N*RB
是的，婆婆在馈赠她的零钱，而伯伯也在馈赠，馈赠他的祝福；伯伯因为婆婆的零钱而满足，婆婆因为伯伯的祝福而快乐。y
Dear friends, are you so moved as I am now? I think about our volunteer job. Many people are dedicatedly in creating love but nothing else with me.
Smile, dedication, insistence… I have more courage.
亲爱的朋友，此刻，你也和我一样的感动吗？我想到我们的志愿工作，有很多很多人和我一起，努力地为营造爱而努力，无关其他。
微笑、付出、坚持……我有了更大的勇气。
