Gift of rice at Chuseok

Sending a gift of rice at Chuseok

I remember my days as a child and a children’s song we used to sing in school “Planting Rice”. While I cannot recall the lyrics of the entire song, I remember well this part:

“Planting rice is never fun
Bent from morn till the set of sun,
Cannot stand and cannot sit,
Cannot rest for a little bit.”

Growing up in Asia, with rice being a staple food, I believe most, if not all of us, are familiar with how this is grown. In the wet and soggy paddy fields, with farmers having to manually plant each stalk in ankle deep water, back bent all day long. 

So every grain of rice, even though small, is the fruit of backbreaking labour! Every grain is sweet and precious and should be treasured. 

Total donations for My Golden Life was 3,770 kg of rice

My Golden Life Press Conference

Fans’ well wishes

Contributions from all over the world

At the press conference of KBS drama “My Golden Life”, Park Sihoo-ssi’s fans from all over the world generously gave the gift of rice to celebrate his return to mainstream Korean television broadcast. These would then be donated to the needy at the choice of Park Sihoo-ssi. A total of 3,610kg of these precious grains were donated by Park Sihoo-ssi fans out of the total 3,770kg donated for the press conference. A lot of meals that can be prepared!

Happy Chuseok from Park Sihoo-ssi and Hoo Factory posted this morning!

Park Sihoo-ssi made a generous gift of rice donation to Networks 네트워크, a social welfare organisation recently. Among its welfare services, is the organisation’s program to provide free lunch for elderly people and city workers who are over 60 years old from below average income families.

So the rice from Park Sihoo-ssi’s “My Golden Life” press conference will be a much welcomed gift at Chuseok for the elderly! And a most meaningful one!

米粒庆祝中秋

我记得儿时的一首儿歌“耕种米”。虽然现在记不起整首歌曲的歌词，但还记得这部份歌词：

“耕种米绝对没有乐趣
从早到晚弯着腰，
不能站立，不能坐下，
不能休息一会儿。”

在亚洲长大的我，跟其他亚洲人一样，米是日常的主食。大多数人也都熟悉米的种植。在潮湿的稻田里，农民必须在脚踝深的水中，手工种植每根稻秆，整天都得弯着腰工作，非常的幸苦。

所以每一粒米即使是小巧，都是幸劳的果子！每颗米粒都是非常的珍贵。

来自施厚君的“我黄金光辉的人生”新闻发布会的大米，在中秋佳节，将带给这些老人家热鹏鹏的一餐米饭！是非常有意义的礼物！

今天是中秋节。施厚君，姐妹们，中秋节愉快！请享受这节日的快乐！
