class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It\u2019s doing good deeds, and that\u2019s a good thing,\u201d said Wu Gonghe (\u5433\u5171\u548c) of his recycling work. Newly retired at the end of 2014, he accepted his cousin Wu Jinlian\u2019s (\u5433\u91d1\u7149) invitation to volunteer at the Tzu Chi recycling station in Xike Township, Xiamen, Fujian Province, China. Tzu Chi\u2019s environmental principle\u2014\u201cDon\u2019t use, use less, and recycle\u201d\u2014deeply resonated with him.<\/p><p>He reminisced about his childhood, when rivers were so clear you could see the bottom and the water so clean you could scoop it up to drink without fear. Adults washed clothes along the banks while children caught shrimp in the shallows. But such scenes are now a thing of the past. Severe pollution has taken over. Garbage litters the riverbanks, and some ditches, even covered, emit a foul smell. \u201cIt would be truly wonderful if everyone were more eco-conscious and developed recycling habits,\u201d he mused.<\/p><p>Usually quiet, he began sharing Tzu Chi\u2019s environmental efforts with his wife, Su Liya (\u8607\u9e97\u96c5), leaving her wondering what had come over him. Each time he returned from volunteering, his clothes were stained and difficult to clean. His once neatly styled hair was sometimes disheveled, even covered in dust and spiderwebs\u2014a stark contrast to the husband she knew.<\/p><p>As a blue-collar worker, he had always worn work clothes on the job and suits off duty. No matter the occasion, his hair was neatly pomaded, with a small comb in his pocket at the ready. To those who didn\u2019t know better, he looked more like a teacher or civil servant.<\/p><p>\u201cHow can someone who loves cleanliness so much stoop down to pick up garbage?\u201d Liya wondered. Curious, she followed her husband to the Xike Recycling Station. There, she saw heaps of recyclables piled up like small mountains. Her husband was crouched on the ground, carefully sorting through them. But he wasn\u2019t alone; his cousin Jinlian, volunteer Chen Hongmei\u2019s (\u9673\u7d05\u6885) mother, and several other gray-haired volunteers also worked diligently among the \u201cgarbage mountains.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThey\u2019re all old and still doing it\u2014how can I not do it too?\u201d her husband later said to her, referring to the elderly volunteers. His words made her realize that beyond his wish to help the environment, he was moved by their dedication.<\/p><p>\u201cOnly by reducing waste can we lessen the burden on the Earth,\u201d Liya said. She decided to join him. For the past ten years, the couple has worked side by side, collecting recyclables and promoting environmental awareness in local shops\u2014walking their path together.<\/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-ebf7751 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ebf7751\" 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-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-498e0f38\" data-id=\"498e0f38\" 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-5221c531 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5221c531\" 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<h5><strong>Sharing the journey<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e90df15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4e90df15\" 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>Liya\u2019s willingness to join her husband may have stemmed from more than just environmental concern\u2014he had always been a devoted partner.<\/p><p>Married for over 40 years, Liya still gets emotional when talking about her husband. \u201cWhenever we argue, he always lets me win,\u201d she said.<\/p><p>Gonghe shared his philosophy on marriage: \u201cArguing or fighting is exhausting and unpleasant. When my wife and I are on the verge of an argument, I usually just stay quiet and let her vent\u2014then the tension naturally fades.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cHe also takes great care of my parents,\u201d Liya said. Once, when her father fell ill, Gonghe rushed over on his motor scooter, carried him down the stairs, and took him to the doctor. He stayed by his side at the hospital, tending to his every need. \u201cI couldn\u2019t hold back my tears seeing him care for my father like that,\u201d Liya said. \u201cHis thoughtfulness truly moved me.\u201d<\/p><p>Gonghe\u2019s devotion to her and her parents earned her wholehearted support for his recycling work, which in turn motivated him even more. When Gonghe saw that volunteer Chen Dongsong (\u9673\u51ac\u677e) was the only one who could drive a truck to collect recyclables, he decided to help\u2014even though he didn\u2019t know how to drive. In 2016, at 62, he signed up for driving lessons. Friends and relatives teased him, saying, \u201cYou\u2019ll never pass the driving test!\u201d<\/p><p>His age and slowed reflexes made the test a challenge. Two years went by, and he still hadn\u2019t passed, but he refused to give up. After three years of perseverance, he finally got his license, at 65. \u201cNow that I can drive, whenever someone calls, I go as soon as I can,\u201d he said. He now often drives the truck to collect recyclables in Jimei, Tong\u2019an, Xiang\u2019an, and Zhangzhou. Worried for his safety, Liya accompanies him.<\/p><p>They are partners not just on the road but also in their work. \u201cIf we lift a 50 kg load together, we each only have to lift 25 kg. We help each other out and look after each other,\u201d Liya said.<\/p><p>At the Xike Recycling Station, the couple can often be seen emptying bags of PET bottles into a compactor.

She couldn\u2019t help but feel envious. Her own husband, Ye Mingzhi (\u8449\u660e\u5fd7), had a bad temper and a loud voice. Hoping that Tzu Chi\u2019s environment and the influence of other volunteers would help him change, she invited him to join as a volunteer.<\/p><p>The two couples now often team up to collect recyclables from Xiamen No. 10 High School. The round-trip drive alone takes two hours, with additional time required to load the recyclables, transport the plastic bottles to the Xike Recycling Station for compressing, and handle other tasks. In the end, each trip takes nearly four hours.<\/p><p>When they arrived at the school on this particular day, they first loaded several large bags of plastic bottles onto the vehicle before moving stacks of bundled paper and books tied up by students. With so many items to load, they needed to plan carefully. \u201cLet\u2019s place the bags of bottles on both sides, put the other recyclables in the middle, and stack the heavier books on the outer edges. That way, it\u2019ll be easier to unload later, and the books can help hold everything in place,\u201d Gonghe explained, easing Mingzhi\u2019s worries about how it was going to all fit in.<\/p><p>Gonghe repeatedly climbed up and down from the truck, stacking the materials with patience and care despite being drenched in sweat. Mingzhi felt a deep sense of admiration. \u201cWhen I first started doing recycling, he taught me how to stack and arrange everything properly,\u201d he recalled.<\/p><p>Thinking back, Mingzhi remembered how hot it used to get, because the old truck had no air conditioning. On a hot day, the heat from the ground radiated up, and the blazing sun beat down on the vehicle, leaving those inside dripping with sweat. Once, after spending over an hour on the road under the scorching sun, Gonghe arrived at a collection point in Jimei. The rental building had no elevator, and discarded liquor bottles and appliances were piled on the second floor. After making multiple trips to carry everything down, he started experiencing heat stress\u2014his head felt heavy, his stomach twisted in pain, and sweat poured from his body. Only after taking heat-relief medicine and resting in a well-ventilated area did he recover. Despite it all, the very next day, when another call for a pickup came in, Gonghe got behind the wheel once again.<\/p><p>Seeing Gonghe\u2019s dedication firsthand, Mingzhi felt motivated to deepen his own commitment to recycling efforts.<\/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-43224a06 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"43224a06\" 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-7b70122b\" data-id=\"7b70122b\" 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-13b34315 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"13b34315\" 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\/2025\/09\/143-44.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/09\/143-44.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/09\/143-44-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/09\/143-44-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/09\/143-44-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/09\/143-44-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/09\/143-44-330x220.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-2f61b063\" data-id=\"2f61b063\" 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-836a941 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"836a941\" 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>Su Liya (right) was inspired by her husband, Wu Gonghe (left), to join Tzu Chi\u2019s recycling work.<\/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-1c68c18a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1c68c18a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\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-25b2d710 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"25b2d710\" 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-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-36d6c677\" data-id=\"36d6c677\" 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-570fe6ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"570fe6ee\" 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<h5><strong>Additional benefits of recycling<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60687e5d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"60687e5d\" 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>In 2020, at a gathering of recycling volunteers, Mingzhi heard his counterparts from Quanzhou, also in Fujian Province, pledge to establish recycling points in every village in their area. Inspired, he offered his 100-square-meter (1,075-square-foot) storefront as a space for residents in his community to participate in recycling. With help from other volunteers in Xiamen, the Tzu Chi Shangfeng Recycling Point opened in July of that year.<\/p><p>\u201cAt first, few people wanted to come,\u201d Mingzhi recalled. He and his wife went door to door, encouraging neighbors to join. \u201cRecycling protects the Earth and keeps us active, which helps us stay healthy!\u201d they would say. They also prepared delicious snacks for participants. Touched by their sincerity, more and more people joined.<\/p><p>\u201cThank you! You\u2019ve brought another truckload of recyclables!\u201d Mingzhi said to a neighbor, beaming as he helped carry the load inside. Every Wednesday morning, the recycling point at his store buzzes with activity\u2014locals dropping off or sorting recyclables, with ten to 20 people regularly taking part.<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019m here!\u201d called out a 79-year-old woman known as Grandma Li as she arrived with her makeshift cart, which consisted of a single wheel, a wooden board, and two discarded iron rods tied to the sides. Her cart brimmed with bottles and cardboard. \u201cPicked these up from trash piles, haha!\u201d she said with a chuckle. She had made a habit of collecting recyclables whenever she was out and about.<\/p><p>Gonghe emerged from the back room carrying a nylon sack as tall as a person, filled with plastic bottles. As he emptied it, volunteers\u2014young and old\u2014quickly got to work, peeling off labels and crushing bottles. The rhythmic sounds intertwined, creating a melody of cheerful activity.<\/p><p>\u201cCompared to before, life feels much happier now!\u201d said Li Miaozhen (\u674e\u5999\u73cd), who had just arrived on her electric scooter with a load of recyclables. \u201cMy husband wasn\u2019t pleased when I first started, but recycling makes me feel good, so I became more patient with my family. Because of my change, everyone is happier, and we all get along much better than before.\u201d<\/p><p>Hearing that, Mingzhi, as the host of the recycling point, felt warmth and gratitude. Seeing volunteers transformed through recycling\u2014and not only themselves, but their families too\u2014filled him with joy.<\/p><p>He, too, had undergone a profound transformation since joining Tzu Chi.<\/p><p>Mingzhi had started drinking in his teens and couldn\u2019t sleep without alcohol. Two years into volunteering, he decided to stop. The first two weeks were tough, with sleepless nights, but he persevered. \u201cA promise is a promise. No drinking means no drinking!\u201d he affirmed.<\/p><p>He also switched to a vegetarian diet and felt its benefits. \u201cBefore, I suffered from gout so badly I couldn\u2019t even get out of bed. My blood pressure was high too. Now, my blood pressure is normal,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>Perhaps no one was happier than his wife about another one of his changes\u2014his improved temper. \u201cI used to have to close all the doors and windows before talking to him, or else his yelling would shake the roof tiles,\u201d Kuizhi said, laughing. Beside her, Mingzhi softly admitted, \u201cI was in the wrong back then.\u201d<\/p><p>Gonghe and Liya, Mingzhi and Kuizhi\u2014these two couples embarked on their recycling journeys for different reasons, yet along the way, they found the same sense of fulfillment. Through their shared dedication, they not only lightened the burden on the Earth but also nurtured harmony in their families and communities. For them and their fellow volunteers, the impact of recycling extends far beyond environmental protection\u2014it brings people together, strengthens families, and even changes lives.<\/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-4525d800 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4525d800\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-633bf4cc\" data-id=\"633bf4cc\" 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-46a26650 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"46a26650\" 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=\"189\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/07\/\u82f1\u6587\u9801\u5c3e-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\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\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Husband and wife Wu Gonghe and Su Liya turned environmental protection into a shared mission, inspiring others alo\u2026 <a class=\"text-right\" href=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/?p=77680\"><span class=\"text\">Read More <\/span><span class=\"arrow\">\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":77587,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pmpro_default_level":0,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[1244],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 -
