"此時, 你家孩子在哪裡? 在學校? 在客廳看電視? 在餐廳喝果汁? 在床上睡著了? .... "


"Where is your kid at this moment? At school? Watching T.V. in the living room? Drinking juice in the dining room? Sleeping?..."


When we have lost ourselves in the details of each busy day, a story like this reminds us of  things of greater importance that others have moved on to work on and we... (continue reading... )


是非行? 是飛行? "非行"是"非常行為", 意指行為偏差. 一群身上帶著傷疤, 心理藏著黑暗的過往的少年,騎著一輪車環島一千公里, 得到的不只是別人的肯定, 還有自己對自己的肯定.


收到這 DVD 時, 看到又是一個環島的紀錄片, 本來還想怎麼又是一個環島的故事? & 最近"勇於實現夢想"這個 theme 曝光率也還真高,  但後來看過後才發覺, 人真的需要夢想的動力, 就算....
....自己沒有夢想, 別人的夢想也能感染你找尋自己的夢想.

... have forgotten.  A group of youth with broken childhood are assigned to move to a special centre by jurisdiction. For these young people, what they need the most is not sympathy; they need to know they are able to change things for the better for themselves and be confident in themselves.  By cycling around Taiwan with their unicycle, they started from nothing and learnt from each attempt and failure. A journey that lasted 20 days turned out to be a life-changing moment for many.


When I first received this DVD from a friend, I thought it was just another documentary about a group of people cycling around Taiwan. I was starting to get tired of that notion and the whole "go-for-your-dream" kind of stories. As that DVD sat silently on my desk for week or so, I finally decided that I need one of those moments of mental escape.


兩個小時的紀錄, 有許多讓人覺得感動的畫面. 看到這些小朋友和少年的故事, 也讓人更珍惜現所擁有的一切.


2 hours of stoies about a group of young people from the moment they enter the special centre to the end of their unicycle journey. You don't know much the background stories of the individuals or what they have done to get them there. But from pieces of broken stories here and there, we understand that we should be grateful and ttreasure what we have now.


被打碎的童年, 慢慢被重新拼湊起來. 單輪車環島 1000 km 是另一個開始.
The past is not the focus. What the organizers/trainers hoped to achieve with this unicycle-around-Taiwan -1000km goal goes beyond that.


"此時, 你家孩子在哪裡? 在學校? 在客廳看電視? 在餐廳喝果汁? 在床上睡著了? .... "
當我們失去目標地在忙碌或忙碌的過每一天時, 這樣的故事喚醒了迷失的靈魂, 告訴我們, 還有許多重要的事, 別人都在努力著, 我們呢?
