無論生活遭逢何種巨變，唯一不變的就是向前推進的時間，這一年終究 是走到了尾聲。我們能在這樣艱難的時刻下，透過文字與各位一同走 過，豈非一件幸事？ 因為一場瘟疫，我們在被迫改變的環境裡，適應新的日常型態。疫情的 衝擊，成了壓倒零售業的最後一根稻草；紐約人紛紛搬離曼哈頓的公寓， 定居郊外；遠程工作已經變成日常，面對面的交往竟也成為難得的光景， 未來會如何變化，似乎仍充滿迷茫⋯⋯ 我們都在漫瀚的歷史洪流之中，雖然渺小，卻因為對美好的追尋而不斷 地創造價值，因為我們都堅信，前行的動力，源自信守內心的良善。 每年的秋冬是古典音樂的旺季，然而今年所有演出都被迫取消，音樂家 們不得不尋找新的方式與觀眾交流。鋼琴家嘉娜拉 · 卡森諾娃（Janara Khassenova）與《新唐人電視台》合作，開創了一檔全新的電視節目 「Piano Talks」，節目以介紹古典音樂界的泰斗人物，如巴赫、貝多芬、 蕭邦、拉赫曼尼諾夫等人的音樂為主線，希望通過音樂來安撫觀眾居家 生活的焦慮與壓力。 今年2月紐約市立大學系統的巴魯克學院（Baruch College）新上任的 校長吳思永，是一位來自臺灣的學子，他來到美國，學習西方的優秀文 化，融合中華傳統文化，在美國的教育界闖出了一片天。上任伊始，就 面臨著前所未見的困境，對此，吳思永仍泰然處之，他向來視困難為挑 戰，欣然接受，我們透過吳校長的分享，學習到在逆境中應有的態度。

The Master Ceramist Part II 美齒新境界 專訪高級瓷牙技師——金政道

n our September issue, we learned about the fascinating background of legendary master ceramist Jason J. Kim, the man responsible for some of the most famous celebrity smiles in the world. For the current issue, we had the opportunity to sit down with Jason himself to learn more about his art form, how he creates his legendary individualized smiles, and how a smile makeover can enhance one’s face and appearance.
九月號的專題，我們專訪了高級瓷牙技師金政道先生， 了解他傳奇豐富的故事，他是目前諸多名人的笑容曲線 負責人。本期，我們有機會與金政道先生面對面，了解 他的藝術理念，如何建立每個人的個人化微笑？並如何 相信微笑可以改變人們的面容與外型？

ELITE: Jason, what is the difference between a master ceramist and other ceramists? Jason Kim: All ceramists are laboratory technicians with varying levels of talent and dedication to their craft. A master ceramist needs to have a higher level of scientific knowledge and artistic talent, one that goes beyond standard dental restorations. There is also a master-level training, which focuses on the masticatory system, in short, how the muscles, jaws, and chewing system work. It’s very scientific. A master ceramist also needs to have extensive knowledge about ceramic qualities, because they all have different characteristics, baking duration, and
牙技師需具備比一般水準更高的專業科學知識，以及藝 術天賦，還需接受碩士級別的培訓，培訓著重在人體咀 嚼系統，例如肌肉、下顎和牙齒間的合作關係，課程內 容很專業。 高級瓷牙技師同時也要具備陶瓷特性的知識，因為 各種陶瓷來自不同的燒製時間、升溫速度等，這些就如 陶藝家可以掌握自己的作品一般。 比如說古代陶藝家會判斷燒陶的不同品質，朝鮮王 朝以製作純白的高麗白瓷著名。陶藝師會確認陶瓷的顏 色是否正確，如果顏色不對，便會將作品扔掉。純乳白 色調、透出深邃又美麗的光澤，那是最好的極品，這些 品質需透過陶藝家的巧手掌握，如光澤普通便無法成王 室用品，只能做一般用途。

Elevating Spirits With Traditional Music A New Program Called Piano Talks With Janara Khassenova
在傳統音樂中淨化心靈
English text by Masha Savitz Chinese translation by Anne Chan
“
The arts and music are things that bring people good intentions,” says celebrated pianist Janara Khassenova. “When you go to the concert hall and listen to music, you know you’re going to be faced with something beautiful, or something beyond this ordinary life.” Khassenova has spent her life creating such experiences for audience members around the world and teaching others to do the same. Based in New York, she is a faculty member of the Bard College Conservatory of Music’s Preparatory Division, and collaborates with various musicians on a plethora of projects. This year, as a result of the global pandemic, access to live music has vanished, and anxiety levels have risen. The situation prompted the acclaimed musician to join forces with NTD, a multilingual American television broadcaster and supporter of traditional arts programs. Together, they’ve designed a new TV program they hope will act as a salve for our bereft souls. Right page: Janara Khassenova at the piano in New York City.

「 當你走進音樂廳，聆聽音樂時，你知道，你將體驗一 種美好的事物，那可能是超凡脫俗的。」著名鋼琴家嘉 娜拉 · 卡森諾娃（Janara Khassenova）這樣說。在她 看來，美妙的音樂能夠激發善意，振奮精神。 多年來，卡森諾娃致力於為世界各地的聽眾創造 這種美好的體驗，同時向他人傳授技藝。她現居美國紐 約，在巴德音樂學院先修部任教，並與眾多音樂家合作 開展了許多項目。 今年，由於疫情在全球蔓延，現場音樂表演暫停， 人們長期居家，導致焦慮陡增。這一情形促使卡森諾 娃與新唐人電視台合作，推出全新藝文欄目：「Piano Talks」，希望藉此撫慰人們的心靈。 新唐人電視台是美國最大的獨立中文電視頻道，亦 有英、法、西等多語種，長年支持傳統藝術節目的創作。 「Piano Talks」的創意源自新唐人舉辦的國際鋼琴大賽， 為觀眾回顧歷屆比賽的經典演繹。節目既呈現美妙的古 典旋律，也有對作品和作曲家的深入分析，所涉及的音 樂或博大精深，或輕鬆易懂。 卡森諾娃從 2016 年起擔任鋼琴大賽的藝術指導 和評委，此番她擔綱節目主持人，在鏡頭前暢談名曲 的故事。

THE THREE FRIENDS OF WINTER Symbols of Virtue in Traditional Chinese Culture 歲寒三友 中國傳統文化中理想人格象徵 English text by Anne Chan | Chinese text by Erin Wang Pictures courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The National Palace Museum
I
n the depths of winter, nature is frozen, and almost everything has withered away. However, pines remain lofty and steadfast, bamboos are evergreen, and plum trees burst into blossoms that brave heavy snow. Renowned for their vitality, perseverance, and resilience, the three plants were called “the three friends of winter” in ancient China.
隆冬季節，天寒地凍，萬物凋零。然而，堅忍不拔的蒼松、 直節挺拔的翠竹、傲雪凌霜的冬梅，三者都有終年不凋、 剛毅、堅韌的高潔風格，因此被古人稱為 「歲寒三友」。 「 歲寒三友 」的傳說 「 歲寒三友 」的由來還有一個有趣的傳說，和北宋文學家 蘇軾有關。 據傳北宋神宗時，蘇軾仕途不如意，被貶至黃州（
THE TALE OF THE THREE FRIENDS OF WINTER There is an intriguing story about the origin of the three friends of winter. It involves Su Shi, a prestigious literati in the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127). Under the Shenzong Emperor, Su’s political career was at risk, and he was exiled to Huangzhou (now Huanggang in Hubei Province). He cultivated a parcel of new land that was called Dongpo (Eastern Slope) by local villagers. Pines, cedars, bamboos, and plums blossomed in Dongpo. One day, Xu Junyou, the mayor of Huangzhou, paid a visit to Su Shi. Looking around at Su’s desolate yard, Xu asked if his daily life was lonely and cheerless. To Xu’s surprise, Su pointed to the swaying plants, laughed heartily, and said: “I have the duet of the wind and spring water, as well as three faithful friends accompanying me.”
今湖北省黃岡縣）。蘇軾開墾了一大片荒地，這塊荒地， 被當地人喚為「 東坡 」。蘇軾栽種稻、麥、桑等農作物， 還在院子裡遍植松、柏、竹、梅等花木。有一天，黃州知 州徐君猷特地來探望蘇軾。他一見周遭荒涼寂寥，就打 趣地問他日常起居，不會太冷清、寂寞嗎？沒想到，蘇東 坡指著院內枝葉扶疏的花木，開朗地大笑說︰「 風泉兩部 樂，松竹三益友。」意思是說，風聲瀝瀝，泉水淙淙就是 兩部最優美的樂章，而四季常青的松樹、枝幹挺拔的綠 竹、冷豔報春的冬梅，就是嚴冬相伴的三位好友。徐君猷 見蘇軾雖身處逆境，猶能以「 松、竹、梅」自勉，還保有 正直坦蕩的高尚品德。從此之後，便對他更加的敬重。 在歷史悠久的中國傳統文化中，松、竹、梅是文人 墨客寄物托志的精神象徵，古人描繪或吟詠松、竹、梅 的詩畫不勝枚舉。如元朝白樸〈朝中措〉： 「 蒼松隱映竹 交加，千樹玉梨花，好個歲寒三友，更堪紅白山茶。」宋 朝時，歲寒三友常作為文人畫、水墨畫的題材，如文同、 蘇軾的作品。元、明的陶、瓷器也常有松竹梅的圖案。

n February 3, 2020, Dr. S. David Wu made history when he was appointed the eighth president of Baruch College. Selected by unanimous vote, he is the first Asian-American to ever head a school in The City University of New York system. Such an esteemed position comes with great responsibilities and would feel daunting even under normal circumstances. With the instability and uncertainty brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the job is all the more difficult. However, Wu has a knack for adapting to change, and has never been one to shy away from a challenge. From being the dean of Lehigh University’s College of Engineering, to the provost and executive vice president of George Mason University, Wu has always led with an open mind and a philosophy inspired by traditional Chinese values.
Dr. S. David Wu, the eighth president of Baruch College, is the first Asian-American to head a school in The City University of New York system.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS Wu was born in Taiwan and received a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial and systems engineering from Tunghai University. Upon graduating, he served in the Navy for two years, as at that time, all men in Taiwan were subject to compulsory military service. At the time, Pennsylvania State University had one of the best systems-engineering programs in the world. Wu wanted to further his studies in America, and received an offer to pursue his master’s and doctoral degrees. So, in 1983, Wu and his wife made the daunting move halfway across the globe. Though it’s been nearly four decades, Wu still vividly remembers the excitement he felt when he first landed at John F. Kennedy Airport and stepped into New York City. Walking along the bustling streets, he was filled with a sense of exhilaration and belonging. Little did he know then that he would return years later and call the city home. Wu and his wife got married in New York before relocating to Centre County, Pennsylvania, so he could begin his studies at Penn State. As an international student, Wu had no idea what to expect. However, he found that he was greeted with generosity and open arms by faculty members and other students. Penn State had a very large international student population, and Wu developed friendships with people from all parts of the world. In fact, he described the graduate student housing facility he lived in as being “like the United Nations.” │49

HOW TO SLEEP FOR A HEALTHIER LIFE IN A BUSY WORLD 睡眠養生之道 Chinese text by Hu Naiwen | English translation by Minghui Wang Photos by Shutterstock

id you know that staying up for a single night can take your body 11 days to fully replenish itself? Yet, with many of us leading a busy life in this modern world, this practice has become almost inevitable, thereby causing serious harm to our body. To undo the damage done to our health, quality sleep is a must.
你知道嗎？熬夜一天要用11天才能補足元氣，長期熬夜， 造成身體嚴重負擔，儘管許多人都知道熬夜不好，但對 於忙碌的現代人來說，似乎總難以避免這項困擾。睡眠 永遠都是一道重要的養生課題。 淺眠者必知4穴位助眠 淺眠易醒者，從中醫來看就是「 心腎不交 」，人體有幾 個穴道跟心腎有關，例如：在手上有個「 勞宮穴 」主心， 在腳心上也有個「 湧泉穴 」則主腎。常用手心撫摸腳心， 使兩穴相交、發熱，並互相傳熱，即使「 心腎相交 」，能 有效改善睡眠品質。 除此之外，在手上有一個穴叫「 神門穴 」，在腿上、 內踝上方有個穴位叫作「 三陰交穴 」。也可時常按摩這 兩個穴道，「 神門穴 」可安神，「 三陰交穴 」為肝、脾、 腎相交的穴位，能促進血液循環，改善內分泌，也能幫

MASSAGE FOUR ACUPOINTS FOR DEEPER SLEEP Shallow sleep, according to traditional Chinese medicine, is due to “a lack of coordination between the heart and the kidneys.” Since the myriad acupoints throughout the human body correspond to different organs, we can improve this condition by gently stroking the center of the palm, where the the “Palace of Toil” is located, and the “Gushing Spring” on the sole, as the former accupoint correlate to the heart while the latter directly impacts the kidney. Since heat transfers between the two points, the inner coordination of their respective organs can be enhanced. Doing so frequently for a period of time can effectively improve our sleep quality. Other acupoints include the “Spirit Gate” on the hands and the “Three Yin Intersection” on the upper inner ankle. The former can be massaged to soothe the nerves and alleviate tension. The latter, being the intersection of the liver, spleen, and kidney acupoints, is the impact spot for enhancing blood circulation and balancing the endocrine system.

Put aside all business concerns. If you can, take a leave from them in order to stay present in this joyful time. Decorate the home and prepare the Christmas Eve meal. Garnish the rooms to herald relaxation and reunion with friends and family.

The hotel is situated across 5 acres of beautiful scenery, with a large European-style garden, outdoor tennis courts, and a heated swimming pool. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, all outdoor spaces implement social distancing measures, so guests can enjoy themselves outside with peace of mind. Grab a meal at the inn’s award-winning Claude's Restaurant, which recently launched a new brunch menu, available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Wednesday through Sunday. The restaurant can be rented for private events of up to 50 people—perfect for a small wedding. Southampton Inn is just a few minutes’ walk from the town’s most delightful boutiques and best restaurants. Guests can also easily visit the Southampton History Museum, as well as several local art galleries. In summer months, the hotel has a shuttle that takes guests to nearby Coopers Beach. Although it’s too cold to get in the water now, one can still enjoy the beautiful seaside views, or stroll along the bay during sunset. It’s only a little more than a 10-minute drive to nearby parks, such as the Sears Bellows County Park. The hotel also provides bike-rental services, available through the end of November. Throughout autumn, the town holds many seasonal activities that are perfect for families. Go pumpkin-picking at Hank’s Pumpkintown, or explore the Maze Park. During the harvest season, farm stands selling the freshest local produce pop up around town. With beautiful natural scenery and a plethora of entertainment options, Southampton Inn offers a memorable holiday experience for people of all ages.
