講座內容 Synopsis:
現今醫療科技發達，很多疾病均可治癒或受控制。當疾病到了末期，醫療科技有時只能提供維持生命治療，但延長死亡過程對病人可能沒有意義，甚至增加痛楚。面對這情況，病人、家屬和醫護人員可以商討是否中止對生活質素沒有幫助的維持生命治療，讓病人安詳離世。香港中文大學醫學院那打素護理學院副教授陳裕麗博士和香港中文大學公共衛生及基層醫療學院助理教授鍾一諾博士會在由中大公共衞生及基層醫療學院主辦的公眾「生死教育」四講系列的第三講和大家分享『預設醫療指示』 (Advance Directive)和『預設照顧計劃』（Advance Care Planning）的概念與應用。這兩種健康護理選擇不但可以免卻家屬決定病者死時所受到的困難和壓力，減少作出決定後感到矛盾和內疚的機會，亦體現對病者生命和意願的尊重。

Thanks to the advancement of medical technology, most diseases can be cured or subsided. However, there are times that medical technology could only prolong one’s life but could not cure the terminal illness. Facing such situation, patients, family members, and medical staff can discuss whether to withhold or withdraw from life-sustaining treatments that may not help improve patients’ quality of life so that they can die peacefully. Professor Helen Chan, Associate Professor from The Nethersole School of Nursing and Professor Roger Chung, Assistant Professor of the School of Public Health and Primary Care of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, will share with us the concepts and values behind Advance Directive and Advance Care Planning in the third public seminar of the four-lecture series on life and death education organized by the School of Public Health and Primary Care, CUHK. These two health care options aim not only to reduce the pressure faced by patients’ family when making end-of-life healthcare decision, but also show respect to patients’ will.

講者介紹：
Professor Helen Chan’s research interests focus on end-of-life care, gerontology as well as care ethics. She has conducted a number of research projects on promoting palliative and end-of-life care, especially advance care planning, among older adults and people with advanced progressive diseases.
陳裕麗教授的主要研究範疇集中在臨終護理、老年病學和護理倫理學上。她的研究項目包括推廣有關老人和晚期疾病患者的紓緩照顧和臨終護理服務，尤其是預設照顧計劃。

Professor Roger Chung’s research aims to empirically inquire into the social determinants of health inequalities, as well as aging‐related issues on multimorbidity and long‐term/end‐of‐life care, and to utilize such evidence to inform health services and policy, domestically and beyond.
鍾一諾教授的主要研究範疇為健康不平等的社會決定因素，與老年有關的多重疾病，和晚期與臨終護理政策，並運用研究成果為本地及國際公共衛生服務和政策提供意見。

❤賀陳弘校長寫給全校教職員工生的一封信

各位同仁與各位同學，大家好！

疫情逐漸升高，政府剛剛宣布了全國進入第三級警戒，大家一定會感到憂心。我現在正在學校旺宏館，雖然已經在清華工作了30年，從來沒有看過學校碰到這個情形，但是我相信所有清華人一定可以度過這個難關。

學校從前天開始實施全面遠距教學、實體考試暫停兩週、研究生論文口試都可以線上進行；昨天開始，所有人車非因公務嚴格禁止入校；今天起，全校的同仁全面分組上班，同時加強環境清消，我們一直維護著一個安全的校園。

同學們如果必須在學校中做畢業論文的研究，一定要遵守室內空間五人以下，做到實名制、戴口罩、勤洗手。

不論大家身在學校或是家中，請每個人比平時更多加保重自己健康，照顧身邊親人，彼此提醒減少外出，降低社區的傳染風險。

在疫情中我們特別掛念一些生活發生困難的同學。這些同學因為家境的緣故，原本就需要在校內外打工維持生活，疫情使得打工的機會都沒有了，生活怎麼辦？學校在去年疫情開始的時候，曾經推動專案「COVID-19 中的愛」，募集一筆捐款，幫助受到疫情打擊的同學。如果你知道有這樣的同學，請轉告他把困難告訴我們，生輔組一定會幫助同學們度過難關。

在疫情中，雖然我們覺得生活中有許多不如意與憂慮，但是我相信，我們永遠有能力幫助身邊比我們更加困難的人。

今天新竹市街頭和校園顯得空蕩，雖然是在夏天，卻有些蕭瑟的感覺，我們正一起面臨一段艱難的時光。相信只要你我好好照顧自己、互相伸出援手、彼此提醒，堅持紀律，心中有愛，一定可以很快度過疫情。希望能夠在清華園中，鳳凰花依然燦爛的時候，很快再見到你。

祝大家平安健康！

A letter from President Hocheng

Greetings to my dear colleagues and students,

The pandemic situation is gradually spreading, and the government has just announced that the entire country will be entering into Level 3 epidemic alert. I am sure you are all worried about this situation. Currently, in my office in the Macronix Building, I am facing perhaps the most difficult moment in my thirty years of service at National Tsinghua University. Although these circumstances are unprecedented, I have complete confidence that our Tsinghua community will be able to pull together and get through this difficult time.

Our university has implemented complete remote learning and temporarily suspended in-person examinations for two weeks beginning May 17th. In addition, oral defenses by graduate students will be conducted online. Effective yesterday (May 18th), all non-NTHU personnel are strictly prohibited from entering campus without an official reason. Starting today, all staff members will be divided into separate work-groups, and we will vigorously maintain a safe campus with enhanced disinfection measures.

If students have to conduct research for their theses, please strictly abide by the rule that indoor spaces cannot exceed 5 people. At the same time, please adhere to real-name registration, wear a facial mask at all times, and wash your hands frequently.

Regardless of whether you are on campus or at home, please pay attention to your health more than usual. Take care of your relatives and decrease the risk of community infection by reminding each other to refrain from going out unless absolutely necessary.

During this pandemic, we are particularly concerned about students experiencing financial difficulties. Due to their family circumstances, these students originally needed to work on or off campus to support themselves. Now that their work opportunities have been suspended, I dare not imagine how harshly the pandemic is affecting their livelihoods. When the epidemic began last year, our university initiated the project "Love in COVID-19" to raise funds to help these students in need. If you happen to know such classmates, please ask them to contact our Student Assistance Division, and we will do our best to support them and help them get through this difficult period.

Even though we have faced numerous inconveniences and experienced many worries during the pandemic, I strongly believe that we are always capable of helping out those around us who are in greater need.

Although the streets of Hsinchu City and the NTHU campus seem empty and barren this summer, I want to assure you that we will face this difficult time together. As long as you and I take good care of ourselves, are willing to extend a helping hand, remind each other about safety, adhere to the regulations, and, most importantly, have never-ending love in our hearts, we will prevail against the epidemic. I look forward to seeing you again soon, when the phoenix flowers bloom in our Tsinghua Garden.

Wishing you all health and safety,

Hong Hocheng, May 19th, 2021
President
National Tsing Hua University

I’ve been receiving many DMs regarding SPM from my dear brothers and sisters from Malaysia. Many are panicking, worried, under lots of stress, and some of them are even facing anxiety attacks. Honestly, I wish I had the power to help each and every one of you. Unfortunately, I can’t. In fact, it would be highly unfair for me to criticise the decision made by the Malaysian Ministry of Education and start comparing SPM and UK GCSEs. So instead, I would like to reach out to each and every one of my dear brothers and sisters in Malaysia. Some of you have sat the trial. Some of you will be sitting the trial this week. And most of you think that you are still not ready for the real SPM which will be held soon.

The first step is to stop complaining. Secondly, you need to embrace the challenge and start believing in yourself. Trust me, time is too precious to waste by panicking and worrying unnecessarily. Use all the time you have left wisely by putting in 100% towards your studies. And above all, don’t forget to pray to The Almighty. If you have truly tried your best, have faith in God that He will give you the best in return!

You might say that it’s easier for me to preach since I’m not the one who’ll be sitting this exam. But trust me, even though I am younger than you, I’ve been through my fair share of challenges. My life has been a rollercoaster ride since my mother has been ill for many years. I am the eldest in the family, and my brother and sister are only 7 and 5 years old. My father had to juggle between home and work constantly. As the eldest, I had a big responsibility on my shoulders. Whenever my mother is gravely ill, I had to help take care of my little brother and sister as well as help to care for my mother too. And this has been the case for many years - not just this year or 2020, when the coronavirus hit us and the new norms started. This has been the norm for me and my family since forever.

And one of the biggest challenges I faced was when I had less than a month to study for the entrance exam to King Edward’s School, while other people had been preparing for at least two or three years in advance. I can still remember that all I did in that month or so was study and pray - and nothing else! But Alhamdulillah, with the blessings of Allah plus my hard work to achieve my goal, I didn’t just pass the exam…I was among the highest scorers! It was indeed a miracle, but also proof of just what hard work can do.

So if you are struggling and you think that your life is hard, stop and look around you. Each one of us has our own story and is struggling in our own way. But the secret is to never give up. You still have time, even though it may not be much, but you still have the chance to use your time wisely. I pray that The Almighty will make it easy for you in your studies and reward you for the work you put in. And don’t forget to thank your parents and your teachers and seek their blessings in these last moments before the exams. May The Almighty keep us all under His guidance…

Thoughts and prayers,
O. Mukhtar O. Mukhlis

Most ABOs get discouraged easily and give up in the initial part of the business because of the negativity faced by their family and friends. The challenges aren’t even anything to do about the business per se. It’s got to do with facing challenging human encounters. Detach yourself from the actions, words and behaviours of others. Remind yourself of your dreams and purpose in joining the business and soon you’ll see it’s either they start vibing with you and want to grow with you in the business or they just move out of your way. Keep moving forward!

A decade ago, Kobe Bryant torched Sam Mitchell's Toronto Raptors for 81 points. Ever since, Mitchell has smoldered, boiling over at the very mention of Bryant's name or that game, a subject that has been broached innumerable times, the sorest of sore spots on Mitchell's coaching résumé.

So before Mitchell, now the coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, faced Bryant one final time Tuesday, it wasn't surprising when he offered up next to nothing about the Los Angeles Lakers icon who is retiring at the end of this season, his 20th."Everybody has good players," Mitchell said when asked about facing Bryant.

And when asked about Bryant's scoring barrage on that fateful January night in 2006, the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, Mitchell glared for a beat.

"Can y'all ask me something [else]?" he asked, looking around the media scrum that surrounded him. "I think I've answered that question for the last five years enough."

What happened next almost felt inevitable.

Of course, Bryant lit up a Mitchell-coached team one final time, scoring a season-high 38 points in a 119-115 Lakers win that ended a 10-game losing streak, helping the Lakers avoid setting a record for the longest skid in franchise history.

In 33 vintage minutes, with a leather-lunged Staples Center crowd roaring as if happy days were here again, Bryant made 7-of-11 from beyond the arc, his most 3-pointers since hitting nine of them in March 2008 against Memphis.

He made 10-of-21 from the field all told and sank 11-of-12 from the free throw line.

ALLEN IVERSON played with a chip on his shoulder the size of Gibraltar. It was his fuel.

Sometimes that fuel flooded the engine, but Iverson never backed off a challenge. Maybe it was because of his childhood growing up in Hampton, Va., where he was the man of the house at a too-young age. Maybe it was seeing people from the neighborhood getting killed or going to prison. Maybe it was being imprisoned - wrongly, he believed - and missing out on his senior year of basketball. Or maybe because he was usually the smallest player on the court, feeling he had to prove himself every minute, showing everyone that size doesn't matter.

Whatever the reason, whether we agree with the method, the personality or the background, it all made Allen Iverson one of the fiercest competitors ever to play the game.

On March 12, 1997, as his rookie season was reaching the finish line, Iverson and the Sixers were facing the NBA champion Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan.

Iverson lit up the Bulls, tying a then-career high with 37 points, although the Sixers, despite a solid showing, bowed to the Bulls, 108-104.

But what defined this game was one move, Iverson's signature, the crossover.

Ever since his high school days, Iverson talked about the mastery of the move on the master, Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

"I used to always tell my friends that when I get on that stage, I'm going to try my move on the best," Iverson said.

Late in the game, Jordan found himself guarding the cocky rookie out of Georgetown and wasn't about to back down. And Iverson, like the young shooter taking on the old gunslinger, wasn't about to back down from a challenge.

"A lot of guys, when you see guys that you kinda looked up to, they kinda shy away from the challenge," Iverson said. "And I just took it on."

Iveron's hair was short and his collection of tattoos small, reminding us how young he was on this night.

He rocked Jordan once with a small crossover and then dropped the big one, moving to his right and swishing a 20-foot jumper just ahead of the flailing Jordan. The crowd at the CoreStates Center, anticipating what was about to occur, rose and erupted in joy. Our guy went one-on-one with the greatest player ever and our guy won, they were thinking. At that moment, Philly fell in love with Allen Iverson. He was ours. He was our David to the NBA's Goliath. We had a star, too.

"I don't think I planned it," said Iverson, who had faced the Bulls twice before, but the situation to try the move never materialized.

"I'll never forget coming off a screen and him switching and [coach] Phil Jackson hollering his name, telling him to switch out on me," Iverson recalled. "And I gave him the first little one, and I see that he's biting on it. And I hit him with the second one and made the shot."

Without making the shot, the move becomes an afterthought.

"I was going to put my move to the test, to see if it was real," Iverson said. "It had to be real if it worked on the greatest player to ever play the game. That made me feel good."

Watch the video carefully next time and you'll see what made Jordan such a great player.

"The craziest thing about it is, I hit him with my best move, and he still almost blocked it," Iverson said, laughing at the moment. "That's what was so crazy about it. That just let's you know how great a defensive player he was."

Two great players showing their stuff. Where have those days gone around here?
