It\u2019s followed shortly thereafter by the unmistakable sounds of ingredients being stir-fried in a wok. The aroma of food fills the air. Xiao Bin (\u8096\u6ff1), a manager at the post office, is cooking lunch for his colleagues. He typically prepares three or four dishes and a soup for his expectant coworkers.<\/p><p>Xiao is the manager of the mail intake and delivery department at the post office. The post office was one of the few places on the island that remained open when COVID-19 broke out in China at the beginning of the year. With the rest of the stores and restaurants closed, postal employees took to filling their stomachs with instant noodles and milk. But the same fare, day after day, soon got old; everyone began hankering for something different. That\u2019s when Xiao started to cook for them.<\/p><p>From first to last, the manager does everything to put a good meal on the table. He shops for the ingredients, washes and prepares the food, and does the actual cooking. He fixes three meals for his colleagues each day he works, and prepares only vegetarian dishes. In order to get his colleagues to accept vegetarian food, he puts a lot of care in planning and cooking the dishes, including surfing the web for inspiration for his menu. His mapo tofu and potato curry dishes are his coworkers\u2019 favorites.<\/p><p>Gulang Island covers an area of about two square kilometers (0.77 sq mi). It\u2019s a pedestrian-only district; small electric buggies and electric government service vehicles are allowed, but all other vehicles are banned. All mail on the island is delivered by foot. Postal carriers typically walk seven or even eight kilometers in the course of their deliveries. Since the job requires so much physical activity, can eating vegetarian provide the mail carriers with enough energy to sustain them throughout the day?<\/p><p>Postman Deng Cunhui (\u9127\u6751\u8f1d) said, \u201cI\u2019ve eaten vegetarian for more than two months now in response to our manager\u2019s appeal to adopt a vegetarian diet, but I haven\u2019t felt any less energetic.\u201d He said that the manager\u2019s vegetarian food is very appetizing and that he eats two bowls of rice with the dishes every meal instead of his typical one bowl. Deng added another benefit of having the manager prepare the meals: \u201cWe used to eat separately but now we sit at a round table and eat together. It\u2019s very homey, very warm.\u201d<\/p><p>Xu Songhua (\u5f90\u677e\u83ef), another postman, nodded his agreement. \u201cI feel healthier eating vegetarian. Even my mind has become less jumbled with negative thoughts. I used to feel that a meatless diet is bland, but now I\u2019ve found that it doesn\u2019t have to be so. Now that I know how delicious vegetarian food can be, I\u2019ve cut down a lot on my meat intake.\u201d When Manager Xiao isn\u2019t working, Xu and the other workers cook mostly vegetarian too.<\/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-3823bd1 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3823bd1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\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-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9edd5bf\" data-id=\"9edd5bf\" 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-61f5043 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"61f5043\" 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\/2024\/09\/112-47.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-47.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-47-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-47-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-47-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-47-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-47-330x220.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\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8e08d21\" data-id=\"8e08d21\" 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-86eac66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"86eac66\" 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>When COVID-19 broke out in China at the beginning of this year, almost all the stores closed on Gulang Island, southeastern China.

It all started with his son, Shunyu (\u9806\u5b87), now eight years old.<\/p><p>Shunyu was born thinner and frailer than most children. His parents wanted to improve his health, so they bought all kinds of expensive food for him to eat, thinking it must have a high nutritional value. They bought imported food, meat, deep-sea fish, lobsters, you name it. To their dismay, however, the expensive diet didn\u2019t improve his health\u2014it actually seemed to make it worse. Shunyu\u2019s belly became swollen, he had difficulty moving his bowels, and he was more susceptible to colds and fevers too. A visit to the doctor identified the culprit: an unbalanced diet. The couple learned from the doctor and books they read later that they needed to balance their son\u2019s diet. They began to reduce his meat intake, and the boy\u2019s health gradually improved.<\/p><p>Shunyu was by nature very kind. When he visited the market and saw animals being killed there for food, he began to refuse to eat meat. Though meat didn\u2019t completely disappear from their dining table, the whole family started to lean toward a plant-based diet because of Shunyu.<\/p><p>In October 2017, Shunyu, then five, took part in a \u201cLittle Vegetarian\u201d event launched by Tzu Chi\u2019s Jing Si Books and Caf\u00e9 in Xiamen, in which participating children took up the challenge of eating vegetarian for 108 days for the sake of protecting the environment. Courses were offered to participants every Saturday afternoon on environmental protection, filial piety, etiquette, etc. Xiao accompanied his son to those courses, and at the invitation of Tzu Chi volunteers, he and his son started volunteering at the bookstore too. They also took part in other Tzu Chi activities. The more Shunyu participated in Tzu Chi events, the firmer his resolution grew to love the Earth and all living creatures. After he and his father took part in a performance in a Tzu Chi year-end blessing ceremony in 2018, he began to insist that his parents eat vegetarian with him.<\/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-823ae2e elementor-section-full_width elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"823ae2e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\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-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a8d6fb2\" data-id=\"a8d6fb2\" 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-b02c773 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b02c773\" 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>Xiao Bin eats with his colleagues.

They claimed a vegetarian diet would adversely affect his health and growth, given that he was so young and still growing. But Shunyu had a comeback that was as effective as it was cute: the little boy would bend his arm and flex his biceps. \u201cI\u2019m very healthy!\u201d he\u2019d tell them. He likes in-line skating, playing ping-pong, and lifting small dumbbells, all of which help him keep fit.<\/p><p>A Tzu Chi volunteer asked him, \u201cDoes eating vegetarian affect your memory?\u201d Shunyu paused for a second, then launched into a recitation from memory of the Heart Sutra. The sutra has 260 Chinese characters, and his recitation was correct down to the last character.<\/p><p>The volunteer continued, \u201cWhy did you choose to become a vegetarian?\u201d Shunyu replied: \u201cI don\u2019t want to cause animals to be hurt. I\u2019m used to a vegetarian diet now. Eating vegetarian makes me feel great.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cHow long will you remain a vegetarian?\u201d the volunteer pursued.<\/p><p>\u201cFor the rest of my life!\u201d the youngster answered in earnest.<\/p><p>When Shunyu\u2019s grandfather learned that his son\u2019s entire family had become vegetarian, he nagged and questioned them about the wisdom of their decision. He was especially worried that Shunyu wouldn\u2019t be getting enough nutrition. Every time Shunyu visited and ate with his grandparents, Shunyu\u2019s grandpa always put meat in the boy\u2019s bowl, but Shunyu steadfastly refused to eat it. His grandfather only came around when he saw how Shunyu\u2019s health was getting better with a vegetarian diet. That was when he stopped grumbling about it.<\/p><p>Now Shunyu\u2019s grandmother cooks only vegetarian when the boy visits with his parents. Shunyu\u2019s mother, Yan Shuling (\u9586\u66f8\u73b2), says that since her son adopted a vegetarian diet, his immunity has gotten better. He falls ill a lot less often than his schoolmates. Even when he catches an occasional cold, he recovers in a few days without having to take any medicine. Now they no longer have to worry about his health.<\/p><p>There are other benefits that have grown from Shunyu\u2019s vegetarian diet too. One is that he has learned to cherish food more. He has developed the good habit of finishing every morsel in his bowl or on his plate to prevent any food from going to waste. His mother is very happy to see his change.<\/p><p>Shuling\u2019s happiness is not just from seeing her son thrive. She and Xiao used to fight a lot due to their differences in personalities and living habits. Their disagreements used to make Shuling very upset\u2014to the extent that her health was affected and she often felt under the weather. However, after Xiao accompanied his son to the \u201cLittle Vegetarian\u201d courses and began taking part in Tzu Chi activities\u2014including study groups and making visits to the needy\u2014he softened a great deal. The couple rarely argues now.<\/p><p>A smile spread across her face as Shuling said, \u201cEver since he [Xiao] joined Tzu Chi and became a vegetarian, he seems to have undergone a transformation. He became more spirited and says \u2018thank you\u2019 a lot. His hours became more regular and he often gets up very early to read. I\u2019m very grateful to Shunyu for leading his dad to Tzu Chi and also for transforming our family into vegetarians. The atmosphere in our family has become very positive. I really like how our family is now.\u201d<\/p><p>Xiao talks about the many benefits he has reaped from becoming a vegetarian. He says that his health has improved, that he\u2019s become more peaceful at heart, and that his peacefulness has led him to be more thoughtful towards others. As a result, the atmosphere in his family has become more harmonious. He and his wife get along very well now. To an outsider, their love for each other is obvious in the way they interact with and look at each other.<\/p><p>Xiao often shares with his colleagues at work how eating vegetarian over the past two years has changed him physically and psychologically. In addition to supervising his coworkers to help make sure that they provide the best service to the people they serve, he urges his colleagues to take good care of their physical and emotional wellbeing. \u201cWe\u2019re getting along better than before,\u201d the manager said. \u201cWhen I talk to them about work-related matters, their attitudes are more positive and they are more willing to share with me what they think.\u201d<\/p><p>Shunyu has now stuck to a vegetarian diet for three years. Because of him, his parents became vegetarian, and his father has helped his colleagues warm to\u00a0 vegetarianism. It all started with the boy\u2019s love for all living creatures and the Earth, and like a ripple in a pond, the effects of that love are spreading.<\/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-836fc41 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"836fc41\" 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-4cbdf76f\" data-id=\"4cbdf76f\" 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-2defdd22 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2defdd22\" 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\/2024\/09\/112-48.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-48.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-48-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-48-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-48-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-48-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/112-48-330x220.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-1b55943f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1b55943f\" 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>Xiao Shunyu poses with his parents.
