今早為Asian Medical Students Association Hong Kong (AMSAHK)的新一屆執行委員會就職典禮作致詞分享嘉賓，題目為「疫情中的健康不公平」。
感謝他們的熱情款待以及為整段致詞拍了影片。以下我附上致詞的英文原稿：

It's been my honor to be invited to give the closing remarks for the Inauguration Ceremony for the incoming executive committee of the Asian Medical Students' Association Hong Kong (AMSAHK) this morning. A video has been taken for the remarks I made regarding health inequalities during the COVID-19 pandemic (big thanks to the student who withstood the soreness of her arm for holding the camera up for 15 minutes straight), and here's the transcript of the main body of the speech that goes with this video:

//The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, continues to be rampant around the world since early 2020, resulting in more than 55 million cases and 1.3 million deaths worldwide as of today. (So no! It’s not a hoax for those conspiracy theorists out there!) A higher rate of incidence and deaths, as well as worse health-related quality of life have been widely observed in the socially disadvantaged groups, including people of lower socioeconomic position, older persons, migrants, ethnic minority and communities of color, etc. While epidemiologists and scientists around the world are dedicated in gathering scientific evidence on the specific causes and determinants of the health inequalities observed in different countries and regions, we can apply the Social Determinants of Health Conceptual Framework developed by the World Health Organization team led by the eminent Prof Sir Michael Marmot, world’s leading social epidemiologist, to understand and delineate these social determinants of health inequalities related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to this framework, social determinants of health can be largely categorized into two types – 1) the lower stream, intermediary determinants, and 2) the upper stream, structural and macro-environmental determinants. For the COVID-19 pandemic, we realized that the lower stream factors may include material circumstances, such as people’s living and working conditions. For instance, the nature of the occupations of these people of lower socioeconomic position tends to require them to travel outside to work, i.e., they cannot work from home, which is a luxury for people who can afford to do it. This lack of choice in the location of occupation may expose them to greater risk of infection through more transportation and interactions with strangers. We have also seen infection clusters among crowded places like elderly homes, public housing estates, and boarding houses for foreign domestic helpers. Moreover, these socially disadvantaged people tend to have lower financial and social capital – it can be observed that they were more likely to be deprived of personal protective equipment like face masks and hand sanitizers, especially during the earlier days of the pandemic. On the other hand, the upper stream, structural determinants of health may include policies related to public health, education, macroeconomics, social protection and welfare, as well as our governance… and last, but not least, our culture and values. If the socioeconomic and political contexts are not favorable to the socially disadvantaged, their health and well-being will be disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Therefore, if we, as a society, espouse to address and reduce the problem of health inequalities, social determinants of health cannot be overlooked in devising and designing any public health-related strategies, measures and policies.

Although a higher rate of incidence and deaths have been widely observed in the socially disadvantaged groups, especially in countries with severe COVID-19 outbreaks, this phenomenon seems to be less discussed and less covered by media in Hong Kong, where the disease incidence is relatively low when compared with other countries around the world. Before the resurgence of local cases in early July, local spread of COVID-19 was sporadic and most cases were imported. In the earlier days of the pandemic, most cases were primarily imported by travelers and return-students studying overseas, leading to a minor surge between mid-March and mid-April of 874 new cases. Most of these cases during Spring were people who could afford to travel and study abroad, and thus tended to be more well-off. Therefore, some would say the expected social gradient in health impact did not seem to exist in Hong Kong, but may I remind you that, it is only the case when we focus on COVID-19-specific incidence and mortality alone. But can we really deduce from this that COVID-19-related health inequality does not exist in Hong Kong? According to the Social Determinants of Health Framework mentioned earlier, the obvious answer is “No, of course not.” And here’s why…

In addition to the direct disease burden, the COVID-19 outbreak and its associated containment measures (such as economic lockdown, mandatory social distancing, and change of work arrangements) could have unequal wider socioeconomic impacts on the general population, especially in regions with pervasive existing social inequalities. Given the limited resources and capacity of the socioeconomically disadvantaged to respond to emergency and adverse events, their general health and well-being are likely to be unduly and inordinately affected by the abrupt changes in their daily economic and social conditions, like job loss and insecurity, brought about by the COVID-19 outbreak and the corresponding containment and mitigation measures of which the main purpose was supposedly disease prevention and health protection at the first place. As such, focusing only on COVID-19 incidence or mortality as the outcomes of concern to address health inequalities may leave out important aspects of life that contributes significantly to people’s health. Recently, my research team and I collaborated with Sir Michael Marmot in a Hong Kong study, and found that the poor people in Hong Kong fared worse in every aspects of life than their richer counterparts in terms of economic activity, personal protective equipment, personal hygiene practice, as well as well-being and health after the COVID-19 outbreak. We also found that part of the observed health inequality can be attributed to the pandemic and its related containment measures via people’s concerns over their own and their families’ livelihood and economic activity. In other words, health inequalities were contributed by the pandemic even in a city where incidence is relatively low through other social determinants of health that directly concerned the livelihood and economic activity of the people. So in this study, we confirmed that focusing only on the incident and death cases as the outcomes of concern to address health inequalities is like a story half-told, and would severely truncate and distort the reality.

Truth be told, health inequality does not only appear after the pandemic outbreak of COVID-19, it is a pre-existing condition in countries and regions around the world, including Hong Kong. My research over the years have consistently shown that people in lower socioeconomic position tend to have worse physical and mental health status. Nevertheless, precisely because health inequality is nothing new, there are always voices in our society trying to dismiss the problem, arguing that it is only natural to have wealth inequality in any capitalistic society. However, in reckoning with health inequalities, we need to go beyond just figuring out the disparities or differences in health status between the poor and the rich, and we need to raise an ethically relevant question: are these inequalities, disparities and differences remediable? Can they be fixed? Can we do something about them? If they are remediable, and we can do something about them but we haven’t, then we’d say these inequalities are ultimately unjust and unfair. In other words, a society that prides itself in pursuing justice must, and I say must, strive to address and reduce these unfair health inequalities. Borrowing the words from famed sociologist Judith Butler, “the virus alone does not discriminate,” but “social and economic inequality will make sure that it does.” With COVID-19, we learn that it is not only the individuals who are sick, but our society. And it’s time we do something about it.

Thank you very much!//

Please join me in congratulating the incoming executive committee of AMSAHK and giving them the best wishes for their future endeavor!

(English writing below)

上星期天，我到一間小花圃做春節直播。

以我的慣例，我如果用到店家的地方，我都會買些東西，不佔他人做生意的便宜。

那天開直播前，本想通知店員一聲，但因為急著在一個時間點前結束，忘得一乾二淨，就有勞我師兄去物色購買適合的盆景。

當時有三位員工 - 兩位華族女子，一位異族外勞男子。

開播到一半時，男員工看到我先生的手機正播映著我的直播。

「哇！這是現場直播嗎？」他很興奮地問我先生，「在哪裡可以看？」

「你可以在臉書看。」

男員工二話不說，拿出手機，開啟臉書應用程序，請我先生為他找出我的臉書。先生輸入我的名字後，接下來就更好笑了。

我當時毫不知情，因為專注在直播。

結束後，我翻看按讚名單時，還想著怎麼會有異族朋友的名字。後來，先生才告訴我事情的來龍去脈。

昨天在剪輯直播，想這星期上傳到Youtube時，才發現那位男員工還向我鏡頭揮手，並展示播放著我直播的手機螢幕。😂

雖然我全程都說著華語，但想必他應該或多或少都聽得懂吧！

這畫面非常有趣，因為幾天前，一位女讀者來訊詢問我批八字的收費。（我服務的收費都列在：www.qianyu.sg/consultations 有中文網頁功能）

這女讀者說，我影片裡的資訊非常準確及珍貴。

我感謝她告訴我，因為我沒有印象在臉書互動裡看過她的名字。

她說她害羞。

這讓我想起另一位女客人，也曾說過類似的話。她說她一向很低調，所以雖然獲益匪淺，但從沒想過要按讚。

我問她：

萬一我寫了那麼多，卻得不到觀眾按讚的肯定，以致我放棄寫作與拍片呢？

她沒回答我。

我笑說，我雖不會因此而放棄，因為我曾經發過願，我也會用我的一生去履行我的發願。

但是，只拿不給，非君子所為，而是自私自利。 我也是人，自然也會需要認同感，尤其是寫的又是一些較另類的課題。

給予鼓勵是一種善行，也是一種感謝，無論是通過按讚、留言、分享，或告訴我。

直接與我貼文互動的好處是有時，可以利益其他比我們更需要這訊息的人。

打從我在去年六月底每星期更新Youtube影片後，我收到的詢問也多了。這些詢問當中，好一些是因為他們的臉書朋友分享了我的影片，而認識我。

他們的臉書朋友並不知道他們來找我服務。

畢竟，我們不會向全世界公佈我們的貼身問題。很多時候，向一個陌生人傾述你的問題，比向朋友訴苦還有用，因為那位陌生人有解決你問題的能力。

我在網路寫作已有三年半的時間，看過數百人。表面上看來是我在幫助人，但如大聖佛陀所言，眾生讓我們實踐自己的修行，幫助我們開悟成佛的人。

這是個互相利益的循環。

見的人越多，我越覺得娑婆世界如浮雲，終究沒有任何人事物是自己的。

寫作拍片越多，自己的思維與志向越明確。

我看到到因果的可怕，不想要我客人那般的命運，因此我更加謹言慎行。我親眼目睹貪、嗔、痴如何能毀掉一個人的人生，所以我打開自己的心房，學習把大愛放送出去，放下不利益他人的固執想法。

因此，感謝妳、你、您幫助我成為一個更好的人，幫我找到我的人生目標。這輩子，我從來沒有做一件事那麼開心過，我也想要一生就這樣做下去。

希望我也能幫助到你，盼你也能幫到別人。

___________________________

So last Sunday, I went to a plant stall to do a CNY Live.

As per my usual practice, I would always buy something from the shop if I use its premises. I don’t take advantage of other people’s businesses.

That day, I wanted to preempt the plant stall staff but in my haste to start my Live, I plain forgot about it. So the husband went about looking for a plant to buy on my behalf.

There were about three staff - two ladies and the gentleman standing behind me in this photo.

Halfway through my Live, the male staff saw the handphone screen of the Husband’s.

“Wah! It’s Live ah?” He excitedly asked the husband. “How to see?!”

“You can see on Facebook!”

The staff whipped out his mobile phone and opened the Facebook app. Then the husband typed in my profile name and what followed next was comical.

I wasn’t aware as I was very focused on presenting to my Live audience.

After the Live ended, I looked through the list of Likes to see who engaged with my video.

And I was wondering why there were some foreign names.

Then the husband told me what transpired.

Yesterday while editing the Live for my Youtube upload this week, I realised at one point in time, the staff also waved to my camera and flashed his handphone screen of my Live. 😂

I bet he somewhat understood what I said, despite it being in Mandarin.

It was an interesting moment because few days ago, a lady PM me to inquire about my Bazi consultation fee. (It’s all listed at www.qianyu.sg/consultations btw)

She told me the information in my videos were accurate and valuable.

I thanked her for telling me because I had never seen her name appeared in my engagement list.

She told me she was shy.

This reminded me of a Bazi client who told me the same thing. That client said she had always been low profile, so she did not think to Like my posts even though she benefitted from it.

I told the client:

But what if I stopped writing and filming because I received no or little affirmation from the audience?

She didn’t answered me.

I laughed and said I would not stop because I had made an aspiration in the past. I had made it my lifetime goal to keep my words.

But to be only taking and not giving is always selfish. I am human. And humans always need to feel belonged in one way or another. Even more so when I am writing about unorthodox topics.

Giving encouragement is a form of kindness and showing appreciation, be it through post engagements or telling me now.

The good thing about direct post engagement is that it benefits others, who may need the message more than us.

Since I started weekly uploads to YouTube in June, a lot more queries come in every month. A number of them know me, due to their FB friends sharing my videos on their timeline.

Thing is, their FB friend does not have a clue that they watched my video and came to seek my service.

We don’t go around telling the whole world our problems, you see.

Sometimes, it’s easier to tell a stranger who has the solutions, than a friend who can only tell you to think about happier things.

I have been posting online for 3.5 years and have met hundreds of people. Perhaps to you, it seems that I am helping people.

But like what Buddha says, the sentient beings are here to help us actualise our spiritual practice, to attain enlightenment and Buddhahood.

It is a reciprocal cycle. The more people I see, the more I realise how transient this Samsara world is. The more I write and film, the clearer I am in my thinking and aspirations.

I don't wish to have the kind of destinies I deal with, so I am more careful in my doings and thoughts. I see first-hand how greed, ignorance and anger can kill people, so I have opened up my heart to give out more love and let go of stubborn beliefs that benefit no one.

So thank you to you, you and you for helping me to be a better person and giving me a holy purpose in this life. I have never been happier in my entire lifetime and I want to do this for as long as I live.

I hope I can do the same for you, so that you will do the same for others too.

【2017烈酒大賽回顧（布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選）】

〖台灣在世界烈酒舞台，繼續發光發熱！〗

布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選（Spirits Selection by Concours Mondial de Bruxelles），是全球最富盛名的烈酒賽事之一。台灣今年在此大賽中，再次獲得佳績，所獲獎牌數量為參賽前五強。第一名是法國（本土44面，海外屬地53面），其次是中國（47面）、墨西哥（27面）、義大利（25面）與台灣（22面）。

台灣雙金獎1面（金車噶瑪蘭 Kavalan Solist Fino Sherry Single Cask Strength）、金獎11面（得獎者包括金門酒廠、信義鄉農會、台灣菸酒公司、國立高雄餐旅大學）、銀獎10面（得獎者包括金門酒廠、台灣菸酒公司、優米企業、金車噶瑪蘭、國立高雄餐旅大學、霧峰農會酒莊）

〖關於本屆賽事〗

布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選，巡迴世界各地，今年邁入第17屆，在智利拉塞雷納（La Serena）舉辦。

本屆將近一千兩百種參賽酒款，來自54個不同的國家，66位來自22個不同國家的評審團成員，利用8月22日到24日三天的時間，進行評審工作。

評審團每六人一桌，每桌由大會指派一名評審團主席（俗稱桌長），來自台灣的陳千浩與王鵬，都是本屆的評審團成員，並雙雙兼任評審團主席。此外，王鵬也擔任大會《烈酒風味評判準則》（Spirits Sensory Guidelienes）編纂計劃總召集人及主編，這項計畫從兩年前萌芽，一年前正式開始籌備，並於本屆順利推出，成為本屆賽事亮點之一。

根據慣例，各類組最優勝酒款會由十餘位評審團主席，共同選出本屆特別提點酒款。本屆獲此殊榮的品項共有四種：
1. Rhum Blanc Agricole Karukera Canne Bleue by Marquisat de Sainte-Marie Sas, Guadeloupe
2. Château du Tariquet Bas Armagnac Folle Blanche 12 years, France
3. Mezcal Don Aurelio Reposado by Don Aurelio Lamas, Mexico.
4. Ekiss Vodka 2012 by Domaines Francis Abecassis, France.

〖《烈酒風味評判準則》登場〗

我在布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選擔任評審委員，因為相關經驗豐富，擅長品評與風味描述，並通曉多國語言，因此受到該項賽事主辦單位委託，主導烈酒評比標準與風味準則的起草工作。我在這項編纂計畫裡，擔任總召集人與總編輯。這套準則在日前已經如期編纂完成，並將於本年度開始正式使用於國際烈酒大賽。

我在2016年九月，從法國波爾多進修葡萄酒結業，並在上一屆烈酒大賽結束後，就開始著手研擬準則編寫架構，集結國際評審團成員們多年累積的經驗，共同編纂烈酒風味評判標準，作為評審團的評分參考依據。

今年烈酒大賽的評審日程為期三日，在8月22日大會開幕典禮上，將正式發表這部《烈酒風味評判準則》（Spirits Sensory Guidelines），目前這部作品以英文發行。

〖我受邀擔任評審團主席〗

這次大會也邀請我擔任評審團主席，這不是我第一次在酒類競賽裡擔任這項工作，但在烈酒評選裡卻是第一次。評審團主席分為兩個等級，一是評審總長，通常只有一位；二是評審桌長，通常每桌都會指派一位。

我曾經受邀擔任地區級啤酒競賽的評審總長，但由於已經安排前往另一個國際賽事擔任評審，所以很可惜沒有機會接下這項富有挑戰性的任務。評審總長負責規劃賽前評審相關工作配置，確保品評順利，並在賽事進行當下，隨時待命解決突發狀況。

一個賽事的評審團，通常必須拆分成不同桌次，每個桌次可視為一個獨立的評審團。評審桌長，就是這個獨立評審團的主席，通常我們私下都稱為table captain（桌長），但是正式的說法是president of jury（評審團主席）——位階聽起來威風凜凜，但其實就是桌長。身為桌長，任務內容簡單許多，基本上只要確保該桌工作進度沒有落後，文件資料填寫齊全。但是我擔任桌長時，也希望同行專家都能透過討論，從彼此身上學到一些東西，並確保評選結果符合應有水準素質。

在我擔任桌長的經驗裡，同桌的專家們都滿欣賞我的作風，相信我這次也能從同桌的同事們身上，得到同樣的回饋。

〖演講全文〗王鵬主編《烈酒風味評判準則》正式發表

王鵬主導編纂的《烈酒評判準則》（Spirits Sensory Guidelines）正式推出，是本屆賽事的亮點之一 。以下是王鵬在8月22日大賽開幕典禮上的英文致詞全文，以及中文翻譯。

＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊

My dear fellow judges,
各位評審團的同仁們，

As a judge, we never stop learning. I believe you feel the same way. There are so much to explore in the world of spirits. The diversity of our drinks and cultural richness behind them are fascinating; yet, its complexity can be frustrating sometimes. No one is a perfect judge. However, we try to do our best and fulfill our mission.
我們身為評審，總是在不斷學習，相信大家都有同感。烈酒的世界，是無止盡的探索。烈酒種類的多樣性與豐富的文化背景，非常引人入勝，然而卻也非常複雜，有時甚至讓人感到挫折。沒有人是完美的評審，但是我們依然盡力而為，完成所託。

And we are lucky being in this family of Spirits Selection, because fellow judges always share thoughts and knowledge at the judging table. I was inspired to collect valuable comments, and compile them into Guidelines, so that such information become available for each member in the team, rather than limited within one single jury at a given table.
我們非常幸運，因為「布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選項目」這個大家庭裡，評審桌邊總是不乏有人慷慨、積極分享自己的想法、知識與經驗。而我心想，若是能夠蒐羅這些討論與分享內容，編成《烈酒評判準則》，那麽全體成員都能共享這些珍貴的資源，而不是限於特定桌次而已。

Hopefully, these guidelines will help you in the challenging task as spirits judge, particularly when you are faced with certain categories that you are less familiar with. We recommend you spend some time on the “Users’ Guide.” You can find it in the beginning of your booklet. Appropriate use of these guidelines will be helpful in your judging, and will ensure our mission in promoting great culture of fine spirits.
烈酒評選工作極富挑戰性，我希望手邊的這部《烈酒評判準則》可以幫助你順利完成評審工作，尤其是當被指派到較不熟悉的酒種梯次時。我建議你花些時間閱讀手冊前面的〈使用指引〉。正確使用準則，能夠幫助迅速掌握類型，提升你的評審工作效率，並落實我們推廣優質烈酒文化的宗旨。

Let’s imagine that each bottle or each sample is a person, and it tries to express itself in its own language. To better communicate, we have to learn its language. The diversity of spirits can be compared to diverse languages, and we managed to bridge over that gap, by revealing the secret of “how to speak its own language,” in other words, how to evaluate the spirits from their unique cultural backgrounds. This is what these guidelines are for.
讓我們來想像一下，你所面對的每一杯烈酒樣本，都是一個人，在品評的當下，它試著用自己的語言跟你溝通。若是我們不懂它的語言，那麼就無法充分交流。烈酒的多樣性，可以比擬為不同的語言。這本《烈酒評判準則》就是要幫助你跨越語言的鴻溝。我們想要確保你能「用它的語言和它溝通」，亦即「用每種烈酒獨特的文化、生產背景與自身標準來評判品質」。

In these Guidelines, we aimed at pointing out common features and frequent faults within each category, and these are often useful tips for judges. We believe, your expertise paired with this powerful tool of Guidelines, will enhance your performance as a judge. I hope you enjoy using these Guidelines before or during judging. Discussions are encouraged, since guidelines themselves are a compilation of these useful comments. When you find them, write them down and send them to us. They are much wanted and desired.
這部準則的編纂重點，在於指出類型特徵與常見缺陷，對於評審工作來說，這些會是非常實用的重要提示。我相信，以各位既有的專業能力與經驗，再搭配使用這部準則，將能讓你如虎添翼。你可以在評審工作開始之前，或者評審工作進行的當下，翻閱類型描述相關內容。在評審工作進行時，我們也鼓勵同桌評審之間彼此討論交換意見。這部準則的編纂初衷，原本就是要收集這類分享內容。而當你發現值得分享的重點，也請記錄下來並告訴我們，我們很需要你的回饋意見。

This document is designed to evolve over time, based on your remarks and suggestions. Some pieces are still missing, but I believe they are about to come, thanks to your feedback. Please capture any thought that arises during judging, and let’s share with the whole team in the next edition. Ever-improving guidelines will help reproduce quality judging, which is of utmost importance for the reputation of the renowned Spirits Selection, where we are united as a family and whose reputation is also ours.
《烈酒評判準則》將根據每一屆評審團的回饋意見進行調整。某些烈酒類型在這個版本裡付之闕如，但是我相信在諸位的協助下，這部準則的內容將漸趨完備。請各位在評選工作過程中，將自己的想法記錄下來，我們才有機會將這些珍貴的內容編進下一個版本裡。不斷修訂改進這部準則，能夠幫助維繫每屆賽事評審工作品質穩定，而這是頗負盛名的布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選項目，能夠維持國際聲望的重要因素之一。我們身為這個團體成員，當然榮辱與共。

I feel so proud and happy being part of the project. Although it was me who took initiative in the creation of these guidelines, were it not for the support of competition organizers and help from fellow judges, the project would not have been carried out with success. We would like to thank all those who have devoted their time and expertise to producing this first version. My special thanks go to Mr. Thierry Heins, who supported this project with great knowledge on spirits and particularly on human resources. He knows his people very well, and always have good contacts. Those fellow judges who contributed to the Guidelines, provided insights and advices, are listed in the Acknowledgements. I believe, in the next edition, this list will definitely grow longer because of your participation.
我感到非常高興與驕傲，參與這項編纂計畫。雖然《烈酒評判準則》是由我倡議主導，但若沒有大會支持與評審團同仁們的協助，也不會在本屆成功推出第一個版本。我們要向所有在這次編纂過程中，付出時間與精力的專家與同仁們表達謝意。我尤其要感謝主任經理提耶里・漢斯，他不僅熟悉烈酒專業，也對評審團人力資源瞭若指掌，總是能夠指引我找到適合的諮詢對象。這次第一版準則順利推出，有賴評審團同仁們提供參考資料與專業審定，在主任經理在方才的致詞中，已經逐一誌謝，各位也可以在手冊裡看到誌謝名單。我相信，因為有各位的支持，明年這份誌謝名單會變得更長。

Thanks for your attention and support. Enjoy your tasting. Let’s get prepared for work!
謝謝各位的聆聽與支持，祝各位品評順利，我們準備開工！
