Chaoqun dumplings 超群水餃



上星期去採訪前年因為一場摩托車車禍
遭到頭骨蓋和顴骨碎裂的朱超群,
關心他最新狀況。
顴骨手術已經做好了,
但是現在還在努力包水餃,
籌頭骨蓋的70萬元手術費。
今年18歲的超群
來自經濟狀況清寒的單親家庭,
但是因為媽媽不願意接受同情,
決定開始和超群以及親朋好友
包水餃,自己賣水餃籌醫藥費,
也藉此教育超群如何自己釣魚,
而不是只給他魚吃。

Last week, I did a story on an 18 year-old boy named Chaoqun (pinyin) in need of TWD 700.000 (USD 23.100) surgery to make his skull whole again. Thirty percent of it was crushed to bits during a motorcycle accident two years ago, along with part of his cheek bone. He comes from a single-parent home with very limited financial resources, but instead of taking charity from people, his mother decided to start making dumplings with Chaoqun to earn the money need for his surgery. She used this opportunity to teach Chaoqun how to fish, rather than to just feed him fish.

會去採訪他的淵源是
他到了我們公司附近發傳單。
那時候是中午出去買
"星期二潤餅"的時候
拿到他的傳單。
快餓死的我,兩個禮拜沒吃到潤餅的我,
接觸他的第一時間 沒有多關心,
只發覺他一顆眼睛不太對勁,
想說拿了傳單,先去排隊買潤餅,
邊排邊了解。
還沒走到潤餅攤,當天搭當阿任
就打電話來,"樓下有一個
需要幫忙的人在發傳單,去看看!"
啊,就是他,阿任也拿到傳單了。
看了傳單,讀了他的故事,
打電話給主管請示,獲准採訪。
潤餅終於買到了,趕快跑回公司,
把潤餅丟在桌上,和把午餐直接
一口吞下,嘴巴都沒擦的小謝
一起拿著機器和麥克風
先回樓下拍超群發傳單。

The story of how I met Chaoqun goes like this:
Tuesday afternoon, he was passing out flyers for his dumplings near our station. As I was on my way to buy my favorite Tuesday vegetable wrap lunch, I also got a flyer. Because I was starving to death and dying for my vegetable wrap that I haven't had in two weeks, I didn't pay too much attention, only noticing that there was something strange about one of his eyes. I took a flyer and decided to find out more after I got in line at the veggie wrap stand. But before I got there, Zen, my cameraman that day, called me and said, "hey, there's someone passing out flyers and looks like he needs help. Go check it out." That was him. Zen got a flyer too.

As I stood in line, I looked at the flyer, read his story and called my assignment editor for approval, and got it. As soon as I got my veggie wrap, I ran back to the office, threw the wrap on my desk and grabbed a microphone and camera with Xiao Xie, another cameraman who also basically just swallowed his lunch and didn't even have time to wipe his mouth, and ran back downstairs to film Chaoqun passing out flyers.

傳單發完,和超群約好待會到他們店裡。

以下是訪問的文字記錄,內容很不錯,
可惜一分鐘半的新聞只用得到一點點。
數字是time code,也就是拍攝時間。

After Chaoqun was finished, we said we'd meet him back at his shop later.

This is the transcript of the sound bites, which were quite good. Pity we can use only a small part of it because our stories are only a minute and a half long.

你這個可以訂購嗎?
可以啊
中午也可以送到嗎?
可以啊
那我去跟我的同事講一講
這樣我的同事也可以幫忙一下
謝謝

(passing out flyers)
- Can we order these?
- Sure.
- Can you deliver them at lunch time?
- Sure.
- Let me tell my coworkers about this. This way they can help too.
- Thank you.

你好 可以參考一下
12種港式餃子口味水餃

Hi, please have a look. Hong Kong style dumplings in 12 flavors.

填餡料叫"填"
把上面押著就叫做"壓"
再來是捏
再來是合
成品就出來了 "成"
填 合 壓 成
之前舅舅教的形狀

(making dumplings at the shop)
This is filling the dumpling. This is pressing it. Then this is squeezing and closing it. And there you have it. My uncle taught me to make it in this shape.

(之前做過)顴骨手術
那時候還沒有做這一塊的時候
眼睛是在鼻子的旁邊
視力 焦距 沒有辦法去平衡
之後裝上去還是沒辦法平衡
就做復健 看東西都用左眼
不能用右眼看 不然我會頭暈
We already completed the cheek bone reconstruction. Before we did that though, my eye was next to my nose. My eye sight and focal point was off and I couldn't keep my balance. After the cheek bone was put in and my eye was pushed up, I still can't keep my balance. So I did rehab and now I look through my left eye. I can't use my right eye, because I get dizzy if I do.

141527
包了幾個月的水餃才能做這手術? 幾個月?
一年
前年出車禍 去年動手術 差不多

- For how many months did you make dumplings to get this surgery? How many months?
- A year. The accident was the year before last, we did the surgery, so yeah, that's about right.

141540
接下來還有一個手術
這個時間可能會更長喔
上個手術十萬 包一年水餃
這個七十幾萬
那我不就要包個好幾年才能做

There's still another surgery coming up, but this one might take longer before we can do it. If the last surgery cost TWD 100.000, and it took a year of making dumplings, then this next one costs TWD 700.000, then that means I'll have to work lots of years.

141600
如果不做這個手術呢?
危險 加上如果遇到夏天
我就完蛋了
因為夏天很熱
熱的話 我的腦壓會升高
升高的話 我自然就會頭暈頭痛
甚至可能比較嚴重
我可能直接昏倒吧
像剛剛在發宣傳單的時候
太陽蠻大的 我就躲在屋簷下
我就覺得已經在暈了

- What if you don't do this surgery?
- It's dangerous. That'll be it for me. It gets hot in the summer, and when it gets hot, my brain pressure goes up, and when it goes up, I start having a headache. When it's bad, I can even pass out. Like when I was passing out flyers earlier, I was in the shade and already feeling dizzy.

141632
頭痛有什麼辦法嗎?
醫生是有開止痛藥給我
我不想常常在吃止痛藥
能忍我就把它忍下來
忍不住我再去吃
因為止痛藥這種東西
本來就不能常吃

- Is there anything you can do about these headaches?
- The doctor prescribed pain killers, but I don't want to be taking those all the time. If I can bear with it, I won't take them. I'll only take them if I can't handle the pain, because pain killers aren't something you're supposed to take all the time.

141710
冬天穿再怎麼多還是涼
真的感冒的話
以去年跟前年的經驗是
可能小小的咳嗽
然後去看醫生
醫生跟你講說你喉嚨化膿
你要住院

In the winter, no matter how much you put on, it's still cold. If I get sick, my experience last year was, I had only a mild cough and I went to see the doctor. The doctor said I developed puss in my throat and I had to be admitted to the hospital.

141737
有想過當錢籌到了,手術做好了,
你接下來要做什麼嗎?
接下來 一樣繼續朝著這方向走
因為一路走過來
都是接觸水餃 餐飲業
我累積的經驗也僅史在這邊
我當然是順著這條路走
把我們的水餃發揚光大
而且我們的水餃很好吃
因為每一顆都有用愛心下去包
就好像回到家
媽媽煮一頓愛心餐一樣
吃起來就很有味道

- Have you ever thought about what you'll do after you've come up with the money and have had the surgery?
- This whole time, I've been dealing with the food and beverage industry, and all my experience has been just here. So I'm naturally going to keep walking down this path and make our dumplings famous. Besides, our dumplings are really good, because each one of them are made with love. It's like going home and having a meal that Mom made with love. It tastes really special.

今天媽媽呢?
媽媽在家裡休息
媽媽本身年紀也大了
我也不喜歡她那麼辛苦
每天要陪我包水餃
包到那麼晚
可能在趕貨的時候
前年去年的經驗是熬夜包
媽媽包到流鼻血
我看得也是不忍心

- Where's your mom today?
- She's at home, resting. She's getting old, and I don't like her having to work so hard. She makes dumplings with me every day, until late at night. When we're rushing orders, last year we were making dumplings through the night, and Mom started getting nosebleeds as we were doing it. I couldn't bear seeing her going through that.

141857
那時候出車禍
有看到跟我狀況一樣的
他是變成植物人
我還有的選擇
我沒有必要去自殺想不開
鬧自閉之類的
因為我有選擇
只是看我自己怎麼選
我選擇的是 我自己慢慢走出來

When I had that accident, I saw another patient who also had an accident, but he became a vegetable. I have a choice. I don't have to go and commit suicide or close myself in, because I do have a choice. I chose to slowly come out of it.

141925
說不在乎別人的眼光
是騙人的啦
但是還是得去面對
畢盡這也是我自己造成的
那沒有辦法
我選擇我去解決它
我不要去逃避
也感謝可能還在醫院的病患
因為我看到他
我才自起走出來
因為我有選擇 他沒有選擇
我今天選擇他沒有選擇的路做給他看

If I said I don't care how people look at me, I'd be lying. But I still need to face it. After all, I caused this. There's nothing I can do about what happened, so I chose to deal with the problem. I don't want to run away from it. But I also want to thank that patient in the hospital, because it was after seeing him that I was able to stand up. I have a choice, but he didn't. Today, I'm taking that option that he didn't have.

謝謝你們這兩年對超群的照顧
今天超群也做了顴骨手術
接下來就是頭蓋骨
我一定還是會靠我自己的努力
到處去發宣傳單
當然我也想去幫助別人
所以我們每個月也會
捐水餃去給孤兒院 育幼院
謝謝你們

Thank you for the support you've given us over the past two years. I've completed my cheekbone surgery. Next is the cranium. I'll work hard and pass out flyers myself. Of course, I want to help other people too, so every month, we also donate dumplings to orphanages. Thank you, everyone.
