was honored last year to have a book published. Cherish is a collection of my articles and photos previously printed in the Tzu Chi Monthly magazine under a column named \u201cThe Guardians of the Earth,\u201d which featured individual Tzu Chi recycling volunteers. It occurred to me after that book was published that just as every recycling volunteer has their own moving life story, every recycling station, like a big family, has their own stories worth recording too. That\u2019s how this new column, \u201cRecycling Family Album,\u201d came into being.<\/p><p>On the eve of the Chinese New Year in 2021, I visited the Annan Recycling Station in Tainan, southern Taiwan. I\u2019m quite familiar with the Annan station, but more on that later. As soon as I entered, my attention was drawn to two little children, a brother and sister. The boy was older but both were still in kindergarten. It was winter break for them, so they had come to the station with their grandma, Chen Pei-ying (\u9673\u4f69\u87a2), a volunteer at the station. Sometimes the two youngsters helped sort recyclables; sometimes they were left to play on their own. Seeing the fun time they were having brought to mind the times my younger brother and I would come to the station with our mother to volunteer. My brother and I were just like this young pair of siblings at the time, more than 20 years ago. Though we only half understood the meaning of environmental protection, we had a blast taking things apart at the station. Now I\u2019m in my late 30s and a stranger to the children in front of me, but we are connected through this station. Though separated by decades in time, we will share the same childhood memory of this special place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

area had grown quite tall, tall enough to provide pleasant shade for the volunteers working in that area.<\/p><p>The Annan station takes in a considerable amount of plastic bags, so volunteers there have long been proficient in sorting them. They can identify the types of plastic bags by touch and therefore demonstrate amazing alacrity as they work. They can organize mountains of bags in a single morning.<\/p><p>The sight of everyone working hard and with enthusiasm reminded me of volunteer Chen Xiao Xiu-jiao (\u9673\u856d\u7e61\u8549), who is no longer with us. On September 30, 2013, I captured a shot of her working in the plastic bag sorting area. There weren\u2019t very many volunteers adept at sorting bags back then, so her workload was heavy. Undaunted, she willingly threw herself into her work. She was already past 80 at the time, but she\u2019d pack a lunch every morning and ride a tricycle from her home to the recycling station to work. Her dedication to her work never wavered.<\/p><p>The plastic bag sorting area in which she used to work is still there. Though she has passed on, many more volunteers have emerged in her place. They are carrying on her spirit of service. Her spirit lives on.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

Are you back here to photograph us?\u201d I looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Ms. Huang Hui-que (\u9ec3\u60e0\u96c0) talking to me. Sporting a head of white hair, she was sitting in the farthest corner of the area. I marveled at her keen eyes, especially given her advanced age. She hadn\u2019t seen me in years and yet was able to recognize me in an instant.<\/p><p>In a short while everyone was packing up to go home. Huang warmly said to me as she gestured towards some water jugs she had tied to the rear end of her motor scooter: \u201cI\u2019m taking these jugs home to water my vegetables. I\u2019ve grown a lot of big, beautiful jicamas. When I\u2019ve harvested them, I\u2019ll send them to the Jing Si Abode [the Buddhist convent founded by Dharma Master Cheng Yen] for everyone to eat.\u201d Hearing her offer her vegetables so graciously warmed my heart. Besides being a devoted recycling volunteer, she grows vegetables not for herself but to generously share with others. It is no wonder Master Cheng Yen holds volunteers like her dear in her heart.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-333b2ed elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"333b2ed\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f146699\" data-id=\"f146699\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-323dd9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"323dd9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a72b07f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a72b07f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210208\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2020.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210208\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2020.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210208\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2020-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210208\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2020-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210208\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2020-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210208\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2020-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210208\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2020-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fa210a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8fa210a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>A Team That Works Great Together<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ce2133 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1ce2133\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Since the Chinese New Year was near and many households were doing their traditional year-end cleaning, a lot of recyclables were arriving at the station. Recyclable garbage that hasn\u2019t yet been separated by generic type is placed in the general sorting area in the back of the station. If volunteers stopped working for even a day, the impressive mountain of garbage there would quickly spill outwards and take up the space in which the volunteers worked. Therefore, volunteers needed to work even harder during this time to process the incoming recyclables.<\/p><p>This is the place where collected materials are first processed before being diverted to other areas. There is so much to do here that two shifts of volunteers typically work just in the morning alone\u2014the earliest volunteers arrive shortly past five; the second shift arrives at around eight. The number of people showing up every day differs, depending on whether they need to work, baby-sit, farm in the fields, or take part in other volunteer activities on that particular day.<\/p><p>Looking at the one-story-high mountain of mixed recyclables, I began to worry that the volunteers wouldn\u2019t be able to finish processing it all before another truckload of garbage arrived. But much to my surprise, the volunteers said to me with confidence, \u201cDon\u2019t underestimate us, we are quick. We can process a third of that mountain of recycling in a single morning.\u201d<\/p><p>Just then, I saw a volunteer dump recyclables out of a large bag onto a worktable. The others standing around quickly reached out and began to pick out piece after piece of garbage and sort each one into its appropriate container. This group of volunteers had worked together for some time and had built up great chemistry. Agile and quick, they went about their work with admirable speed. Others might not have been able to achieve the same level of efficiency as they did.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-21cf597 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"21cf597\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-79a4302\" data-id=\"79a4302\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-755b285 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"755b285\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210222\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2059.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210222\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2059.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210222\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2059-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210222\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2059-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210222\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2059-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/20210222\u81fa\u5357\u5b89\u5357\u74b0\u4fdd\u7ad9-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2059-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b530bf7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b530bf7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Volunteers in the PET bottle sorting area.

Every time I visited, I saw how volunteers would be done sorting massive heaps of recyclables one day only to have to start all over again the next day\u2014the garbage never stopped flooding in. Still, they kept at it indefatigably. On and on they worked, motivated by a shared sense of mission. It wasn\u2019t until evening when everyone would straighten their backs, remove their face masks, and call it a day. That was the only time I was able to see their faces.<\/p><p>On February 22, 2021, I took group pictures of volunteers in each area. When I was sorting through the photos later, I saw once again the confident look of every volunteer. I couldn\u2019t help but want to praise them: \u201cYou all look great and beautiful!\u201d Though I wasn\u2019t able to photograph all the volunteers, and some photos I took didn\u2019t make it into the magazine due to space constraints, I was happy about the shots I had taken. I had captured many of the dedicated volunteers at the station.
