趙婷:對中國的判斷是正確的:那是一個遍地謊言的地方。法蘭西絲麥朵曼 (影后 )。Jessica Bruder, the author of “Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century:People who live in homes-on-wheels should not have to be in constant fear of “the knock.” . Chloe Zhao! 'Nomadland'《游牧人生 OR 浪跡天地》「這座獎座是屬於所有即使困難重重、但仍然秉持信念及勇氣行善的人。是你們啟發我一直前行。」

What ‘Nomadland’ Exposes About Fear in America

People who live in homes-on-wheels should not have to be in constant fear of “the knock.”

Ms. Bruder is the author of “Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century,” the basis of the Oscar-nominated film.


...Van dwellers had told me about “the knock” — usually three sharp raps at the door, often by the police. The risk of getting jolted awake and kicked off my patch of asphalt kept me uneasy and made it hard to sleep.

I was living in a van as a journalist, as research for my book “Nomadland.” Over the course of three years, I followed Americans who had been squeezed out of traditional housing and moved into vans, late-model RVs, even a few sedans. I drove more than 15,000 miles — from coast to coast, from Mexico to the Canadian border. And night after night, I bedded down in a new place, whether a truck stop or the Sonoran Desert. Sometimes I stayed on city streets or in suburban parking lots, which rattled me in ways I’d never expected.

For people whose only home is a vehicle, the knock is a visceral, even existential, threat. How do you avoid it? You hide in plain sight. Make yourself invisible. Internalize the idea that you’re unwelcome. Stay hypervigilant to avoid trouble. Apart from telling you to clear out, the police can harass you with fines and tickets or get your home-on-wheels towed away to an impound lot...



****中國的教育給人一種錯覺,讓人總是為全世界華人的成就感到驕傲。時評人長平認為,趙婷成為首位獲得奧斯卡最佳導演獎的亞裔女性,卻在中國遭遇了無情的審查,再一次證明她對中國的判斷是正確的:那是一個遍地謊言的地方。

2021/02/16 — Chloé Zhao, the filmmaker behind the Oscar-favored Nomadland and the upcoming Marvel's Eternals, is now the most-sought-after director in Hollywood. Here, how a filmmaker born in China and obsessed with the American ...


趙婷發表得獎感言時提到,最近不時思考面對困難時要如何繼續前行。她回想起小時候在中國成長,跟父親背誦古詩、經典文學。她特別提到《三字經》,並用普通話讀出首兩句「人之初,性本善」。這六個字影響殊深,她至今仍然相信,雖然現實有時相反,但她認為自己經常從遇到的人身上找到善良,所以「這座獎座是屬於所有即使困難重重、但仍然秉持信念及勇氣行善的人。是你們啟發我一直前行。」

Oscar-winning French documentary-maker and journalist Pierre Schoendoerffer has died at the age of 83, the French military health service has confirmed.

Following military service, he volunteered to became a photographer during the first Indochina war, eventually becoming a war reporter.

His 1967 film The Anderson Platoon was presented with the Academy Award for documentary feature.

Paying tribute, President Nicolas Sarkozy said: "France will miss him."

Le Figaro newspaper said Schoendoerffer died in a hospital outside Paris on Wednesday after an operation.

Born in Born in central France in 1928, Schoendoerffer spent some time at sea before joining the army for national service in 1949.

During the 1950s, he volunteered to parachute into the besieged fortress of Dien Bien Phu to document the decisive battle of the French war in Indochina - which is now part of Vietnam.

After the battle, he was captured and spent four months as a Prisoner Of War.

Schoendoerffer first gained fame as a director for his 1965 film The 317th Platoon, which traced of a doomed group of French soldiers retreating through the jungles ahead of the final rebel offensive in 1954.

It won best screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival, where critics praised it as being among the best Vietnam War films ever made.

His Oscar-winning Anderson Platoon also won an Emmy award in 1967.

Schoendoerffer also made his mark as a screenwriter with his 1975 film Drummer Crab - which won three Cesar awards in France, including best actor for Jean Rochefort.

President Sarkozy, in a statement praised the "legendary filmmaker and novelist" for risking his life for France and "helping us better understand our collective history."

麥可·柯林斯 (Michael Collins, ~2021)是1969年與阿姆斯壯(Neil Armstrong)、艾德林(Buzz Aldrin)一同執行「阿波羅11號」任務

DW 中文 - 德國之聲



麥可·柯林斯是1969年與阿姆斯壯(Neil Armstrong)、艾德林(Buzz Aldrin)一同執行「阿波羅11號」任務的第三名太空人,但他沒能和同伴一起踏上月球,而是獨自駕駛指令艙在距月球60英里的繞月軌道上飛行近28個小時,等待著登月艙返回。柯林斯4月28日去世,享年90歲。















President Biden said of Colonel Collins in a statement on Wednesday: “He may not have received equal glory, but he was an equal partner, reminding our nation about the importance of collaboration in service of great goals. From his vantage point high above the Earth, he reminded us of the fragility of our own planet, and called on us to care for it like the treasure it is.”

Colonel Collins, who had begun flying in 1952, had hurtled through the skies as a test pilot and orbited the Earth 43 times in the Gemini 10 capsule.

Indeed, as Mr. Collins sought to capture the wonder and beauty of space, he wrote in that book: “I have been places and done things you simply would not believe. I feel like saying: I have dangled from a cord a hundred miles up; I have seen the earth eclipsed by the moon, and enjoyed it. I have seen the sun’s true light, unfiltered by any planet’s atmosphere. I have seen the ultimate black of infinity in a stillness undisturbed by any living thing.

“I do have this secret,” he added, “this precious thing, that I will always carry with me.”

今天見識了。去年聽吳鳴兄 (彭明輝,東海歷史,約1980級,政大教授)談他寶貝兒子,大意如下:
吳鳴自述: 博兒大三以前功課不好,大學讀東海生科系,很多家長可能要罵死了,我只在他大二上時問他,如果念不下去,要不要去學個手藝,因為連續三個學期都有科目被當。兒子說他們系都這樣,俺也就一笑置之。大三跟卓逸民教授做專題,引導他走向學術之路。念東海生科研究所時獲得世界蜘蛛年會最佳研究生論文獎(Oral),退伍後當了兩年教學助理,申請墨爾本大學動物系博士班,獲得澳洲政府四年全額獎學金,一個平凡小科青努力打拼的故事。
風雨中,想兒子。
