Life is Hard Without a Healthy Stomach! TCM Methods to Strengthen the Spleen and Stomach, Prevent Stomach Cancer

The treatment of stomach cancer should follow the holistic view and syndrome differentiation principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), focusing on "Supporting the Healthy and Expelling the Pathogenic" while tailoring the treatment to the condition and physical status of the patient. Integrative therapy combining Chinese and Western medicine, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, can achieve more optimal anti-cancer effects.TCM emphasizes that the causes of stomach cancer are related to emotional stress and liver Qi stagnation. Unhealthy habits such as irregular eating patterns and lifestyles can damage the spleen and stomach. Additionally, Helicobacter pylori infection and poor dietary hygiene are also significant factors leading to stomach cancer.Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focuses on boosting immunity and regulating the digestive system, thereby improving the patient's overall health.

Commonly used herbal formulas such as Si Jun Zi Tang and Ping Wei San help restore spleen and stomach function, alleviate bloating, and ease other digestive discomforts.

New Residents Experience Taiwanese Flavor! Traditional Market Adventure & Cooking Competition for New Resident Couples

The Yunlin County Service Station of the National Immigration Agency's Southern District Affairs Brigade recently collaborated with the Social Affairs Department of the Yunlin County Government and the New Immigrant Community Service Center to hold a family education and legal awareness course. Themed "Sharing Food Time" and "You and Me – Creating a Better Life Together," the event guided new residents through traditional markets to experience Taiwanese local culture, and included cooking competitions and cultural interaction activities.During the event, the service station introduced ingredients for “Three Cup Chicken” and “Braised Pork Belly” using picture cards, and new resident couples were grouped to go to the market to purchase ingredients. They then showcased their cooking skills on-site, enhancing the couples’ tacit understanding. Additionally, local Taiwanese spouses also participated in the cooking activity, creating a lively atmosphere filled with authentic Taiwanese flavors and helping new residents gradually familiarize themselves with the traditional market environment.New resident couples are grouped and sent to the market to purchase ingredients.

There were also traditional Indonesian games, such as the shrimp crackers eating contest, which attracted enthusiastic participation from both adults and children, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. The shrimp crackers eating contest was especially popular, requiring contestants to eat an entire shrimp cracker as fast as possible without using their hands, resulting in constant laughter.Shrimp Crackers Eating Contest (Image / Sourced from the National Immigration Agency website)Ms. Nguyen, a Vietnamese new resident, said that when she first arrived in Taiwan, she didn’t dare go to the market because she couldn’t understand the Taiwanese dialect, but after participating in the activity, she gradually gained confidence. Ms. Xue, a new resident from Mainland China, also shared that through this experience, her child learned to identify Taiwanese ingredients, and her husband appreciated the effort involved in cooking, leading to more harmonious family interactions.The event organizer stated that through this market experience and culinary interaction, not only was the distance between new residents and Taiwanese life shortened, but it also improved couples’ interactions and mutual understanding. At the end of the event, Mr. Huang Zhongjie, Director of the Yunlin County Service Station, emphasized that the Immigration Agency continues to care for new residents, hoping they can settle down and prosper in Taiwan while feeling the warmth and cultural richness of the country through such activities.

Taiyen's "Premium Iodized Salt" vs. "Superior Iodized Salt" – What's the Difference? Netizens Exclaim: So That's It!

Recently, a woman posted in the Facebook group "PX Mart Honest Consumer Experiences," sharing her confusion after seeing Taiyen selling two types of salt, "Premium Iodized Salt" and "Superior Iodized Salt," in a supermarket. She said that every time she passed the shelf, she couldn’t help but wonder about the difference between the two.The post sparked discussions, with many netizens expressing similar confusion. Some pointed out, "Whether premium or superior, iodization is the most important." Others shared tips on choosing salt based on the packaging: "The one with fish, shrimp, scallion, and cabbage patterns is suitable for cooking, while the plain one is better for washing or pickling."Netizens share: "The salt with fish, shrimp, scallion, and cabbage patterns is suitable for cooking, while the plain one is better for washing or pickling." (Photo / Screenshot from the "PX Mart Honest Consumer Experiences" Facebook page)Regarding this issue, Taiyen's official Facebook page had previously explained that "Premium Iodized Salt" is a general-purpose salt suitable for everyday cooking, while "Superior Iodized Salt" contains concentrated seawater mineral liquid, enhancing the flavor of dishes. For adding taste to dishes, it is recommended to use Superior Iodized Salt, and for pickling or washing vegetables, Premium Iodized Salt is suggested.This discussion showed that many consumers do not fully understand the classification and uses of salt, and the official explanation of Taiwan Salt can help people make more suitable choices when purchasing.

外配揪同鄉休假打工，媒介者恐面臨巨額罰款

Foreign spouses organize fellow nationals for holiday work, intermediaries may face hefty fines.

The Central Region Affairs Brigade of the National Immigration Agency, Hsinchu County Special Task Force, recently uncovered an illegal work case, catching seven Vietnamese migrant workers on-site, including a Vietnamese spouse alias "A Huan." A Huan had introduced her relatives and friends to work at the factory where she was employed during their holidays, violating the Employment Service Act. The entire case has been referred to the Hsinchu County Government for further action.According to the investigation by the Hsinchu County Special Task Force, the factory is located in the middle of a field in Baidi Village, Zhubei City, and often has foreign nationals working on holidays. In early July, the task force received a tip-off, dispatched personnel to inspect, and discovered six Vietnamese migrant workers engaged in bottle painting work. Upon investigation, it was found that these workers were originally legally employed at a technology company in Zhubei. However, to earn extra income, they were introduced by A Huan to work at the factory during their days off.A factory located in the middle of a field in Baidi District, Zhubei City, often has many foreign nationals working on weekends. (Image / Source: Liberty Times website)A Huan argued that due to labor shortages at the factory and the desire of her fellow countrymen to increase their income, she introduced her relatives and friends. However, according to the Employment Service Act, mediating others for illegal work and employing legal migrant workers during their rest days are both illegal actions. The evidence of illegal work, illegal mediation, and illegal employment in this case is clear, and the case has been referred to the Hsinchu County Government for penalties.Li Wen-da, the captain of the Hsinchu County Special Task Force, emphasized that migrant workers in Taiwan must comply with relevant laws, and any unauthorized work activities are illegal. Violators may face fines and could have their legal employment permits revoked by the Ministry of Labor, leading to deportation. He reminded migrant workers not to take risks and avoid breaking the law.The Employment Service Act stipulates that mediating foreigners for illegal work is punishable by fines ranging from NT$100,000 to NT$500,000. Violators who intend to profit may face imprisonment of up to three years and fines of up to NT$1.2 million. The maximum fine for employing or harboring illegal foreign nationals is NT$750,000. The public is urged not to break the law as the consequences are severe and not worth the risk.

Policies Related to the Adaptation of New Immigrants and Their Children

According to the Ministry of the Interior's statistics, as of July 2024, there are 600,302 new immigrants in Taiwan due to marriage, including those from Southeast Asia, Mainland China (including Hong Kong and Macau), and other regions (Immigration Agency, 2024). Given that new immigrants in Taiwan take on crucial roles in family care, workplace responsibilities, adapting to life, or promoting culture, the government and civil society have long focused on this issue since the peak of new immigrants arriving in Taiwan in the early 2000s. Relevant policies and regulations have been established to help new immigrants and their children integrate into Taiwanese society, creating a harmonious coexistence between different ethnic groups.First, in 2012, the Ministry of the Interior launched the New Immigrant Torch Project, which included more than ten sub-projects with funding exceeding NT$100 million. It covers learning about Taiwanese society, the languages, and the cultures of new immigrants. The Foreign Spouse Counseling Fund was established and later replaced by the New Immigrant Development Fund, which currently allocates more than NT$200 million annually for government and private organizations to apply for. It includes four sub-projects: 1) New Immigrant Social Safety Network Service Plan, 2) New Immigrant Family Growth and Childcare, Multicultural Plan, 3) Family Service Center Plan and New Immigrant Innovative Services, and 4) Talent Cultivation and Industry Revitalization Plan. From January to June 2024, 108 applications were submitted, with 90 approved and total funding of NT$92,939,652, classified as follows: 7 applications from the central government (NT$61,008,321), 58 from local governments (NT$27,080,123), and 25 from private organizations (NT$4,851,208).In addition, in 2014, the Ministry of Education included Southeast Asian languages in primary schools as part of the 12-year compulsory education curriculum, where students must choose from one of four languages: Taiwanese, Hakka, Indigenous languages, or new immigrant languages. In junior high school, these languages are optional, and in high school, they are elective second foreign languages. Currently, nearly 20,000 students are enrolled in these courses nationwide, and over 800 new immigrants and second-generation immigrants serve as support teachers for these language courses. From 2024 to 2027, the Ministry of Education is implementing the "New Immigrant Talent Nurturing Project" with three main goals: to harness talents among new immigrant children, to empower new immigrants, and to foster a friendly and inclusive society.Ministry of Education's "Talent Development Plan" for 2024-2027 (Source: Ministry of Education 2024)The above policies have been in place for many years. Recently, the "New Immigrant Basic Law" was enacted on August 12, 2024. The first article states that the law is established to safeguard the multicultural spirit of the Constitution, protect and assist new immigrants in integrating into Taiwanese society, and establish harmonious ethnic relations.Our society is committed to addressing the adaptation needs of new residents by implementing relevant policies and regulations, but do new residents truly feel the impact? According to the results of the 2023 New Resident Life Needs Survey released by the Ministry of the Interior's National Immigration Agency on July 19, 2023 (as shown in Figure 2), the labor force participation rate of new residents is higher than that of the general population. Additionally, 14.2% of new residents expressed interest in starting their businesses, their average household income has increased, and 31.5% of new residents participate in social activities. Furthermore, 63% have used care service measures, 92% of new residents report feeling happy, 77.3% of those over 50 years old wish to retire in Taiwan, and half of those over 50 believe Taiwan has improved.2023 New Resident Life Needs SurveyThe New Resident Life Needs Survey received positive feedback on satisfaction; however, attention is still needed for areas of dissatisfaction. For instance, 7.9% of new residents reported feeling unhappy. Compared to when they first got married and moved to Taiwan, over half of the respondents believe that societal attitudes, workplace friendliness, and government services or welfare measures have improved, while over 40% feel it remains the same, and 2-3% believe it has worsened. Regarding the rights of new residents in Taiwan, 46.0% feel conditions have improved, 51.2% believe they remain the same, and 2.8% feel they have worsened.The survey is conducted every five years, providing references for governmental and non-governmental organizations to develop relevant services and policies. The survey covers 22 counties and cities nationwide, involving immigrants with valid residence permits or Taiwanese nationality, excluding those who have been abroad for over two years. The survey included 10,430 valid samples through in-person interviews and focus group discussions.In conclusion, Taiwan's democratic society emphasizes human rights and the rule of law, with significant protections for citizens. Both government and civil society strive to support new immigrants' adaptation and rights. As an educator deeply involved in multicultural and ethnic harmony education issues, I am committed to these efforts. Although there is progress, areas of improvement remain, and both government and civil society must continue to focus on building harmonious relationships among all ethnic groups.Author: Ou Ya-mei Position: Inspector, New Taipei City Government Education Bureau Education: Ph.D. in Education Policy and Administration, National Taipei University of Education Experience:Principal, Pingding Elementary School, Tamsui District (2017-2024, retired in 2024)Convenor, Learning City Project, New Taipei City (2022-present)Head, Lifelong Learning Guidance Project Team, New Taipei City (2010-2023)Deputy Convenor, New Immigrant Cultural and Educational Guidance Team, New Taipei City (2010-2023)Chief Editor of 126 textbooks in seven Southeast Asian languages for the Ministry of Education (2016-2021)Project Leader for the Ministry of Education’s Digital Textbook Collaboration in Southeast Asian Languages (2017-2021)Curriculum Committee Member for New Immigrant Languages (2014-2016)

Hello everyone, welcome to Focus News! Detailed analysis of work and residence regulations for foreign students in Taiwan The Pingtung New Resident Consultation Center has been established, providing legal and entrepreneurship information "Wax Bottle Candy" spreading in Taiwan! Potential food safety concerns Don’t let your kids get overweight! 3 tips to maintain children's healthy physique Please see the following report. Overview of Work and Residency Regulations for Foreign Students in Taiwan The National Immigration Agency’s Taipei Service Station recently attended a university orientation workshop for international students, helping them understand their residency rights and how to integrate into Taiwan. Immigration Officer Zhao Xiangyi explained that the application for student residency is now fully available online. Students can submit their applications through the NIA system, making the process convenient and efficient. According to amendments to the Immigration Act, residency renewal can be applied for three months before the expiration date. Late fines have been raised to between NT$10,000 and NT$50,000, and the maximum stay in Taiwan can be extended up to seven years. In addition, foreign students who wish to work must apply for a work permit, and their working hours cannot exceed 20 hours per week, excluding winter and summer vacations. Illegal employment is strictly prohibited. Pingtung’s New Immigrant Consultation Center Established, Providing Legal and Entrepreneurship Information The Democratic Progressive Party's New Immigrant Affairs Department and Legislator Chung Chia-Pin collaborated to establish Taiwan's first "DPP New Immigrant Consultation Center" on September 19, located at the "Chong Cafe Citizen Hall" in Pingtung. The center provides legal consultation, shared space, and entrepreneurial guidance for new immigrants. It also features a "Muslim-Friendly Restroom" to accommodate the needs of Muslim immigrants. New residents can use the consultation center's space for activities and receive support for employment or entrepreneurship. If they encounter difficulties, they are encouraged to seek help at the consultation center. "Wax Bottle Candy" Trend Hits Taiwan! Potential Food Safety Concerns Recently, the "Wax Bottle Candy," a popular snack in Chinese social media, has gained popularity due to its colorful appearance and various patterns. Promoted by internet influencers, it has become a favorite among consumers. Manufacturers claim the outer layer is made of beeswax, and the inside is filled with syrup or jam, giving it a unique texture. However, Taiwan's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that the recent decrease in honey production has led to a rise in natural beeswax prices, making it unlikely that these products use genuine beeswax. Such products may contain harmful colorants or industrial wax, posing health risks. The FDA urges consumers to avoid eating food products that have not passed FDA inspections. If illegal sales are discovered, they can be reported to the local health bureau. Don't Let Your Children Become Overweight! 3 Tips to Protect Children's Healthy Body Shape Children's weight has always been a concern for parents. Research shows that childhood obesity is not just a temporary issue; most children find it difficult to overcome obesity even as they grow up. To help children maintain a healthy body shape, experts recommend three key tips. First, choose natural, whole, and minimally processed foods, such as whole grains, pumpkins, and dark green vegetables, to ensure children eat nutritious and healthy meals. Second, reduce their intake of sugary drinks, opting for plain water instead. You can also add lemon slices, dried fruits, or mint leaves to enhance the flavor. Third, encourage more outdoor activities or indoor exercises to reduce sedentary time and keep children's bodies healthy and full of energy.

New Immigrant Family Faces Misfortune; National Immigration Agency and Charity Foundation Lend a Helping Hand Tsumabuki Satoshi Takes You on a Deep Dive into Taiwan Taiwan Angklung Orchestra Delivers Indonesian Bamboo Music Across Cultures Essential Signs and Prevention Measures for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Please see the report below. New Immigrant Family Faces Misfortune; National Immigration Agency and Charity Foundation Lend a Helping Hand A new immigrant family in Xiushui Township has experienced a series of unfortunate events. It began when Ms. Wen, a new immigrant, was seriously injured in a car accident, followed by her elementary school daughter breaking her arm after a fall.

Essential Signs and Prevention Measures for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease As the school year begins, the hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) outbreak continues to escalate. Pediatricians urge parents to seek medical attention immediately if young children develop symptoms such as fever, throat ulcers, or blisters on their hands, feet, and buttocks. While most patients recover on their own within 4 to 14 days, a small number, especially children under five, may develop serious complications like encephalitis or acute limb paralysis, which can be life-threatening. The most important preventive measures for HFMD include practicing good hygiene, washing hands frequently, wearing masks, avoiding crowded places, and regularly disinfecting environments. Parents with young children should also arrange for them to receive the HFMD vaccine to protect their health.

Taoyuan Immigration Office Enhances Volunteer Services for Better Communication The Taoyuan Service Station of the Northern Affairs Brigade of the Immigration Department recently held the "113th Annual Volunteer and Interpreter Training and Outstanding Volunteer Recognition Event," aiming to improve the service quality of volunteers and interpreters to provide better services to the public.

Additionally, the Immigration Department's new "Free Laptop or Tablet Rental Service for New Residents" has garnered great attention from participants. Beware of "Fake Police" Video Scams! Guard Your Personal Data With the rapid development of telecommunications services and technological applications, fraud methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Recently, fraud cases involving the use of others' identification to apply for telecommunication services have been on the rise. Fraudsters even wear police uniforms and use video calls to gain the trust of victims, thereby stealing personal information. The National Police Agency reminds the public not to hand over their identification documents to others easily. Before providing personal information, ensure the authenticity of the other party's identity, and avoid disclosing or leaking personal information to prevent falling victim to scams. Broadway Classic Returns: Shrek the Musical Takes the Stage "Shrek the Musical" is taking Taiwan by storm! Officially licensed by Broadway, this musical is based on the classic story, seamlessly blending live orchestral and pop music with innovative multimedia stage design, transporting the audience into a fairytale world. It premiered in Chiayi on August 31, and the live audience praised it as a "complete reinvention of classic fairy tales." The Taipei show is scheduled for September 14 and 15 at the Taipei City Hall Family Theater, and a recording will be made to create a treasured memory for audiences across Taiwan. Postpartum Moms Must Learn These Healthy Weight Loss Secrets Postpartum weight loss is a major challenge for new moms, especially as the average age of first-time mothers increases, making recovery even more difficult. Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors say that postpartum women often suffer from qi and blood deficiency, and kidney energy insufficiency, leading to issues such as edema, back pain, and other discomforts. It is recommended that weight loss efforts be started after the breastfeeding period ends. Using Chinese herbal medicine can help with bowel movements, reduce edema, and replenish energy, while acupuncture can boost metabolism for gentle weight loss. Additionally, breastfeeding can burn about 400 to 500 calories daily, potentially reducing weight by about 1 kilogram over 16 days.

Hello everyone, welcome to Focus News! South Korean Cheerleading Star Lee Da-hye Receives Employment Gold Card FSC Teaches You How to Prevent Investment Fraud 10,000 Cigarette Butt Bins to Beautify the City Without Dead Corners A Must-Read for Parents: How to Successfully Wean Your Child Off the Pacifier After 18 Months Please see the following report. South Korean Cheerleading Star Lee Da-hye Receives Employment Gold Card Korean cheerleading star Lee Da-hye from the Chinese Professional Baseball League successfully applied for a cultural and arts employment gold card on August 30, providing her greater security in her work and life in Taiwan. Lee Da-hye expressed that obtaining the employment gold card would allow her to develop her career in Taiwan further, interact with more fans, and establish deeper local roots. She also has the opportunity to apply for permanent residency in Taiwan in three years, which has profound significance for her long-term future in Taiwan. As of the end of June this year, the National Immigration Agency has issued over 10,000 employment gold cards, which offer open work permits, eligibility for half-tax rate benefits, dependent family residency, qualifications for permanent residency, and immediate health insurance access, providing comprehensive support for cardholders' life, work, and family in Taiwan. FSC Teaches You How to Prevent Investment Fraud Recently, there have been numerous investment fraud cases, and the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) urges the public not to trust false information promising high returns and to avoid remitting funds hastily. Carefully verify the authenticity of information to avoid falling into fraud traps. The official website's "Preventing Illegal Securities and Futures Sector Promotion Zone" provides a list of legal securities and futures firms and details on types of illegal entities. Relevant securities and futures associations have also established a "Warning Zone for Non-FSC Approved Securities and Futures Entities and Products," where information on suspicious firms or products is made public. The FSC reminds the public to be vigilant before investing and ensures the firm is a legitimate financial institution. If in doubt, you can call the anti-fraud consultation hotline. 10,000 Cigarette Butt Bins to Beautify the City Without Dead Corners To enhance environmental cleanliness and reduce cigarette butt pollution, the Ministry of Environment recently issued the "Guidelines for Promoting the Installation of Cigarette Butt Boxes," planning to set up 10,000 cigarette butt bins nationwide. This aims to provide clear disposal points for smokers, maintaining clean and comfortable streets. Over 36.2 billion cigarette butts are discarded annually in our country, not only affecting city appearances but also containing over 4,000 chemicals and hard-to-decompose cellulose acetate plastics that pollute water sources and even enter the ocean, impacting ecosystems and potentially harming human health through the food chain. The Ministry of Environment urges the public to maintain public hygiene together, eliminate the littering of cigarette butts, and create a cleaner living environment. A Must-Read for Parents: How to Successfully Wean Your Child Off the Pacifier After 18 Months Many parents are eager to wean their children off the pacifier and start doing so when the child turns one, but at this time, the child's oral desire is still very strong. Experts suggest that the best time to wean the pacifier is after the child is one and a half years old, as the success rate is higher then. Doctors also share the "gentle + firm" method for weaning off the pacifier: first, offer chewable foods, gradually reduce pacifier use during the day, and leave weaning off the pacifier at night until the last. Additionally, parents can poke small holes in the pacifier to gradually diminish the child's interest in it.
