    A Woman of Gold Chinese

    Robert W. Killick : A Woman of Gold – Chinese

    After 64 years, I bravely tell her story. She masterfully balanced roles as wife, mother, teacher, businesswoman, and philanthropist, navigating life with grace. A true “Woman of Gold,” her inspiring journey of resilience and love is now in Chinese.

    即便已与妻子共度63载春秋,朋友们仍取笑我为她作传“勇气十分可嘉”。

    但我一向信奉那句老话:“幸运女神偏爱勇士。”更何况,能出什么岔子呢?至少,我从未忘记她的生日,也清楚地记得她的出生地。她的那些故事:身兼数职——人妻、三子之母、六孙之祖母、教师、化学公司联席董事、教会长老、慈善家、网球爱好者——却始终从容应对平凡琐事、人生起伏与无常际遇的传奇,我皆能娓娓道来。不过我们不会忘记莎士比亚借哈姆雷特之口道出的那句广为人知的祈祷:“天使与仁慈的神灵啊,请庇佑我们。”

    没错,我会如朱迪嘱咐的那般勇敢!

  • A Young Life Most Unremarkable

    A Young Life Most Unremarkable

    0

    This is Henri Korn’s third book. The book describes Henri’s first steps in Melbourne, his jobs and the 1950’s in the City as seen through European eyes and the eyes of a Holocaust survivor. The wonderful artists that Henri knew and others that fashioned Melbourne and Australia into what we know it is today. This book will complete a trilogy describing his lost early childhood, the Holocaust, the feeling of no sense of belonging and displacement and trying to get used to a new environment without adequate language. I first met Henri in 2011 in Melbourne when both he and his wife Sandra attend my first Holocaust-related exhibition in Australia. I also met them at a group exhibition that I had been invited to be a part of at the Holocaust Museum where Henri is a guide. The show was opened by the wonderful Mirka Mora, who was a friend of Henri’s. I was soon invited over for dinner to the Korn residence and we have developed a wonderful friendship over the years. What you soon realise if you ever have the pleasure of spending time with Henri (and Sandra) is that despite his precarious childhood and difficult start in Melbourne is a man who values life, wants to live it and looks at it through the eyes of a young person, still looking for the next adventure, still looking out at our ever-changing world in all its wonder- Thomas Delohery, Visual Artist.

    As the Neo-Taliban advanced towards the stunning Panjshir Valley, vivid memories of the people and places in Afghanistan unfolded before me like scenes from a movie. This prompted me to reflect on my experiences and make sense of the things I had witnessed and learned. The time I spent in Afghanistan gave me valuable insights that offered a different perspective on the world, viewed through the principles of social justice…Dr Annette Tzavaras

  • An Unspoken Story: Living with autism. Sidharth Chandran writes from the perspective of a man who, in his own words, is ‘cocooned in autism.’

    An Unspoken Story

    1

    An Unspoken Story: Living with autism. Sidharth Chandran writes from the perspective of a man who, in his own words, is ‘cocooned in autism.’

    Sidharth writes from the perspective of a man who, in his own words, is ‘cocooned in autism.’

    “I want everyone to know that I am a thinking, feeling man, I do not speak. I am aware that I act in ways that others see as ‘weird’ as though I had ‘no sense.’ This is because my mind and body work differently and not always in congruence with each other. I can express myself through typing. I would like people in ‘Planet Normal’ to know what people with Complex Communication Needs (non- speakers) experience.” Sidharth describes his account as a ‘window into autism’.

    Lost my Voice

    Not my mind

    Lost my way

    Not my will

    Through the written word, Sidharth has found his voice in order to become a ‘Soldier for Change’.
