2 From the Editor Spreading Happiness and Hope G eorge Bernard Shaw, the famous English playwright and co-founder of London School of Economics and Political Science, described his life as "no brief candle to me" but a "splendid torch I have got a hold of for a moment" and said he " wants to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations". Now, with a torch in the hold of our hands, we shall pass on hope and give warmth to others. We can dedicate this brightness to our parents, friends and ourselves. And we shall strive for passing it to more human beings and creatures in the universe. Our care to others shall be equal and has no discrimination against all persons based on wealth, social status, power, citizenship, national origin, or race. In this sense, Mother Teresa is our role model. She dedicated herself to the poor, the sick, the dying, orphans, and homeless people. She never thought of herself but the people who suffered and she never meant to make her deeds known to the public. She had inspired more than 10,000 staff and 100,000 volunteers following her example by serving at 610 charity organizations in 123 countries. Every member of the foundations under Cathay Charity Group Cathay Charity Foundation, Cathay United Bank Foundation, and Cathay Real Estate Foundation, holds the spirit of selflessness to organize all kinds of causes as long as they benefit the public welfare and interest. Our focus is distributed to various charity events, youth care, art and cultural events. One step at a time, we accumulate our efforts and plant the seeds of love wherever needed so that people's kindness will flourish and blossom in our society. We at Cathay Charity Group would like to hold up the torch in our hand and shed the brightness to those who are in need. We lend a hand to young people so that they dare to chase their dreams. We bring resources to children living in remote villages. People echoing our belief open arms and send hugs to new immigrants, thanking them for coming from afar to establish families in Taiwan. We only have one universe. Taiwan is our deeply-loved motherland. "Spreading Happiness and Hope" is Cathay Charity Group's first and foremost motivation. We want to pass on love and care so that more people feel hopeful, see brightness and feel warm again. Cathay expects to diminish loneliness where shelters of its care reach. With these efforts going on one year after another, we sure will greet a beautiful future we dream of! 1

4 Preface The Gentle yet Powerful Strength of Giving F ew would deny 2016 was an eventful year! Just one day right before the Lunar New Year's Eve, Tainan and Kaohsiung was struck by a Richter scale 6.6 earthquake. Over one hundred houses were destroyed over night. People died and injured and more lost their homes. Tragedies didn't stop here: The commuter train explosion at Songshan Train Station and random roadside killings occurred in Taipei, more serious earthquakes hit other countries, terrorist attacks disseminated, EU refugee crisis only got worsened... All these difficult situations were laid in front of us. Throughout the year, our world was not at peace, which made the situation much more difficult for a lot of under-privileged people. At such moment, Cathay Charity Group firmly believed that was the time we needed to reach out and lent a helping hand to those who were in need. Standing by their side and making them feel hopeful is both our responsibility and happiness. Ever since the establishment, the foundations under Cathay Charity Group Cathay Charity Foundation, Cathay United Bank Foundation, Cathay Real Estate Foundation, and Cathay General Hospital under Lin Yuan Group have received tremendous support from the public. Therefore, we will continue to hold dear to our spirit "giving back to society", endeavoring to offer the best we can and give back to the communities at every corner where we are needed. We believe every child is an angel. Children are our future. For children in remote and tribal village and the second generation of new immigrants who do not have easy access to resources, Cathay Charity Group aims at providing long-term educational resources to them. May it be a one-hour class, a field trip experience, or a home-coming journey. We hope these experiences would shorten the learning gap for these children and strengthen their advantages from their diverse background so that they can further build confidence in themselves. We initiated a series of programs to inspire actions throughout Taiwan. With the local spirit of "gung-ho" enthusiasm, people from our branch offices, libraries, Art Center, and volunteers joined hands participating in all kinds of our charitable activities. These activities have become like a relay race, with people passing love from one place to another. Charity and Public Welfare: In 2016, Cathay initiated the first "Cathay Youth Excellence Scholarship", providing subsidies to high school students and young adults who utilized their talents and skills. ShoJio, Cathay's charity platform website, launched training programs for social enterprises and promotional themed campaigns for charity groups to market their products. Furthermore, Cathay Charity Group continued our care to under-privileged families by paying visits to them. We also conducted environmental protection activities at local communities. When earthquakes, typhoons or other natural disasters happened, Cathay immediately mobilized volunteers to assist the post-disaster recovery work. Needless to mention, our Summer Blood Donation entered the 17th consecutive year and received a lot of people's passionate response by real action. For our Student and Inmate Care Program, the disabled performers from the Mixed Disabled Troupe toured to different prisons, motivating the inmates with themselves as examples. Corner Concerts were held at nursing homes and orphanages, providing the healing power of music to lonely children and seniors. In 2016, Cathay United Bank Foundation reached out to tribal villages in Eastern Taiwan providing support to the local Bunun Goat-farming Reviving Program, Five Loaves and Two Fish Project and Bunun Scholarship Program. These programs aimed at helping the Bunun people acquire a vehicle to earn a living. Care Program for the New Immigrant Children: Our New Immigrant Care Program this year focused on the education of new immigrants' school-age children. Cathay organized a series of service projects including "mother's language" learning programs, home-coming trips back to "mother country", Dedicated Empowerment Program, and After-school Care Program. The International Conference on Teaching Practice of Cross-cultural Experiences was convened again in this year. Over 120 Taiwanese and Vietnamese scholars and guests from the public sector attended the conference to discuss the implementation and the development of the policies and programs for new immigrants' children. Care for Children: The Winter Warmth Program for 2016 was held in 75 remote country elementary schools across 15 cities and counties. Winter clothes and holiday gifts were donated to these children around Christmas and Lunar New Year season. The Dream Come True Program which was initiated in 2013 aims at supporting children in remote villages to dare to face challenges and pursue their dreams. Cathay Children Development Camp was held during the summer vacation. Children from the remote village schools under Dream Come True Program were invited to take a trip to Taipei and experience the urban landscape. In addition, Cathay's Elevated Tree Program that mainly helps financially challenged children paying tuitions and other school fees has donated more than NT$ 135 million (US$ 4,166,667) and benefited more than 85,000 children for the past 13 years. In 2016, a portion of the Elevated Tree Fund was channeled to the "Eastern Taiwan Paramedic Training Program" initiated by Mennonite Christian Hospital with the purpose of enriching the paramedic resources in the East. The free lectures under Elevated Tree Program continued to explore on parenting issues and allocated part of the focus on senior care. Art and Cultural Events: Cathay United Art Center that has dedicated to promoting Taiwanese Art for long time curated 12 themed exhibitions, presenting the signature artwork of great Taiwanese artists to the public. The Art Center also organized Art Talk Lecture Series every month. Various speeches or themed-lectures provided by experts were held accommodating the on-going exhibitions for the public to easily access art and aesthetics. Furthermore, the 10 Lin Yuan Libraries in northern, central, and southern Taiwan provide a bright and quiet place for the public. In addition to being a great place for reading, Lin Yuan Libraries have been known for their free courses and hence have become a good spot for local social activities. With love, we are strong. With strength, responsibility comes and pushes us forward. Cathay Charity Group expects itself to be like its business logo a flourishing green tree: When it grows bigger, the foliage provides wider shelter space. We are delighted that we are capable of giving. At the same time, we hope we can give more and pay back to the society. Looking into the future, we are filled with enormous humbleness and goodwill facing all creatures. Cathay Charity Group will keep flourishing like the big tree. We are where people need us. The strength of love is gentle yet powerful! 4 5

You have shaken off constraints and step in to New World. 8 9

15 Cathay Youth Excellence Scholarship 2013 APP APP 2016 Cathay Youth Excellence Scholarship Lights Up Limitless Possibilities for Young Students! For young people to grow and pay back to the society Organized by: Cathay Charity Foundation Co-organized by: Cathay United Bank Foundation and Cathay Real Estate Foundation E ver since its establishment in 1980, Cathay Charity Foundation has spared no efforts in supporting young students. As our society has been changing rapidly, we see that our society needs more people to engage in actions that fulfill the needs of the society and fit the current trends. Therefore, the foundation established Cathay Youth Excellence Scholarship in 2016 in order to provide support to young people with potentials. The scholarships are granted to senior high school students who have great performance in the school but have financial difficulties, young students who achieve special honor in the international arena, and those young students who utilize their knowledge and skills to develop cultural or educational causes, community development, environmentalism, or financial technology projects. We want to help our young people to achieve greatly for the Taiwanese society. Cathay's own senior managers to form the judge committee, a group of members coming from the public sector, academic circle and the industry, to take the responsibility of finding the most outstanding people with strong personal characters. The first Cathay Youth Excellence Scholarship received 310 applications from national athletes, gold medalist of international invention award, and numerous high school and college level students who combined their expertise into their proposals of public welfare causes. Based on the structure of the scholarship the foundation originally intended to pick 38 winners but decided to increase to 55 winners. According to the Chairman of Cathay Charity Foundation Fredrick F. Chien, the foundation made this decision because the judges were eager and felt they couldn't miss out any of these outstanding young people. Chairman Chien urged all the award winners to keep up the endeavors for themselves, their families, and ultimately the society so that more possibilities would come into reality. Jingmei Girls High School s tug-of-war team was granted with "Special Achievement" Award. Their coach Sheng Kuo and team members attended the award ceremony.

One thought could flip the fate Providing support to high school level students who are from poor families but still do not give up on education has been Cathay's long-term mission. The foundation intends to urge them to change the life with their own efforts and be positive about life. Ting-Yu Chen from Zhong Shan Gilrs High School represented the Academic Group to speak in the award ceremony on Dec. 21, Her parents divorced when she was little, and she was raised by her Chinese immigrant mother. Instead of feeling pity for herself not being born in an affluent family, she worked hard in school and actively participated in extracurricular activities. Ms. Chen said she would like to use the prize money to upgrade the computer system at home and she wanted to become an engineer in the future. Her sincere and positive attitude conveyed in her speech touched all the audience. Social advancement drived by own experience and expertise During the deliberation process, we found that today's young people were capable of discovering social issues from their own perspectives and academic backgrounds, and further trying to come up with solutions in a concrete and innovative approach, which would in turn make our society better and more friendly. The best example in this year is as the following. Yen-Ting Chen, a TransWorld University student, was diagnosed of osteogenesis imperfecta, or glass-boned disease in colloquial terms, in his childhood. This disease had made him suffer from lots of difficulties in daily life. In 2013, he was hit by a car. However, he wasn't devastated. He developed an application called "Proactive Warning System" which could issue warning to cars through the control of signal lights to ensure the safety of the physically disabled. This application won him a gold medal in the Ukraine International Invention and Technology Trade Show in On the other hand, the creativity and implementation showed by high school kids did not disappoint us. Hung-Hsiou Lai from Taipei First Girls High School and Shu-Yun Yao from Fuhsing Private School cooperated to establish a website Taiwan Youth Forum out of the reason that they were feeling confused about their choice for the future. The two teenagers talked to and interviewed a lot of people who had established their own career in different fields. They stored these interview videos in the forum with the intention of sharing these stories so as to inspire other confused young people. The cradle for local girl power and scientists The proposal of Science Camp initiated by Hsin-Hau Yeh and his club members from Erh-lin Industrial and Commercial Vocational High School won judges' rave review unanimously from the first to the final rounds. Hsin-Hau Yeh and his club members crafted this proposal based on a spirit of "serving local by local". They compiled all their know-how and knowledge gathered from their experiences participating in science contests and passed on to local elementary school kids in Erhlin, Changhua County. This group of young people created a cradle for science education and hoped this pattern would be duplicated on and on for more future local children. The trend of girl power shouldn't be ignored. The hackathon event "R-Ladies x Kaggle Hackathon: Fintech, Social Media, and Energy" proposed by Chia-Yi Yen, a graduate student from National Taiwan University aims at supporting the cultivation of female data scientists so that women can increase their exposure in professional arenas. With her ambitious goal and highly professional event structure, Ms. Yen well deserved the prize

In the second half of June, "Beauty of Sanxia and Yingge" initiated by Kun-Ying Chuang (who grew up in the area) from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology aimed at promoting local tourism of Sanxia and Yingge for people to learn the beauty of the place and the local porcelain culture and enamel art. The event combined a local tour and face-to-face communication with local artists, leaving the participants with deep impression about Sanxia and Yingge.

22 Summer Blood Donation Campaign 17 Cathay volunteers, always being the first ones who roll up sleeve donating blood. Cathay volunteers urged customers and local residents to support the campaign ,80422, Cathay volunteers' non-stop passion in supporting the blood donation campaign for 17 years. 17 A 17 Year Non-stop Blood Donation Campaign Saving lives with bags of hot blood Organized by: Cathay Charity Foundation Co-organized by: Cathay Real Estate Foundation S ummer Blood Donation Campaign initiated by Cathay Charity Foundation entered its 17th anniversary in With the collaboration of six donation centers across Taiwan, the campaign kicked off with 175 donation booths set up in 19 cities since May 2. Our volunteers also shared their past success stories in order to motivate more people to support this campaign. At the time when it ended on Sep. 25, the campaign collected 31,804 bags of blood, which broke the record of 22,472 bags in previous year. Every year during this sweltering season when people just want to take shelter in air-conditioned rooms, our Cathay volunteers in yellow vest stand beside the blood donation bus under the sun sparing no effort inviting passers-by to donate a bag of blood with patience and smile on their face. Such scene has continued for 17 consecutive years. According to the donation center, blood donation is particularly needed in summer, the typhoon season. However, the stock of blood is relatively inadequate because fewer people would want to go out in hot weather and college students take summer vacation. That is exactly the motivation for Cathay Charity Foundation to launch blood donation campaign every summer: maintaining the stock of blood at adequate level and urging people to make donation regularly. Cathay's staff at agency offices across Taiwan would encourage their customers and friends and families to support the campaign so that the stock of blood is kept at safe level during summer season. A Cathay volunteer Keh-Chun Chen said blood donation is a good deed benefiting others and self. Blood donation not only can save people who are in need but also can improve metabolism for donors. He hopes the campaign could urge more people to take actions and show their care for the society. Cathay volunteers held up self-made eye-catching sign to attract donors

This program aims at encouraging college students to use their creativity and conduct service programs at local communities or remote country during winter and summer vacations so that Cathay's spirit in charity causes could be extended to more places in Taiwan. In previous years the foundation mostly adopted the Ministry of Education's definition on remote country elementary schools to select the service projects proposed by university clubs. Starting from 2016, we decided to include remote country junior high schools and tribal villages so that students' services could reach out to a broader area. The foundation had received 368 project proposals in this year from dozens of universities such as National Taiwan University, National Chengchi University, National Tsing Hua University, and National Taiwan Normal University. After the review and selection process, the foundation sponsored insurance and activity expenses for 206 projects, and insurance subsidy for 162 projects. In total, 2,486 student volunteers participated in winter service projects and these causes had reached out to 11,000 people across more than 10 cities and counties. The summer service projects that received sponsorship focused on tutoring service, community service, and summer camps conducted for remote village children and new immigrant children with participation of 2,783 student volunteers and 17,000 children National Taiwan University's Fishing Village Service Club offered multi-lingual games for children at Chimei Elementary School in Penghu. 2.

Collaboration with Mixed Disabled Troupe enters the 10th year Organized by: Cathay Charity Foundation C athay's collaboration with Mixed Disabled Troupe (formed by performers with different types of disabilities) to perform in prisons, detention centers, and high schools has entered the 10th anniversary. By far, this care program had presented 82 performances. At this remarkable occasion of the 10th anniversary of this joint effort, the foundation co-hosted a public press conference with DaAi TV, announcing our commitment in promoting the disabled people's perseverance in fighting to overcome all kinds of obstacles to the general public. Over the years, Mixed Disabled Troupe has toured to prisons and detention centers to perform and had touched countless inmates. Some inmates felt regret about past mistakes that they made out of simply one evil thought and had thought about giving up everything, and some blamed their family or blamed their fate for what they had encountered. Mixed Disabled Troupe shared their life stories and expressed a spirit that never surrenders through their performance, bringing light and hope to the area behind the bars and encouraging the inmates to stand up again. The foundation has arranged additional gigs in high schools since 2011, hoping that the performance would bring inspiration to young lives. Throughout 2016, with support from the foundation Mixed Disabled Troupe had staged performances in Chiayi Detention Center, Miaoli Detention Center, National Dongshih Industrial High School, Taichung Municipal Hou-Zong Senior High School, Da-Chen Senior High School, Youth Senior High School, New Taipei Municipal Jui-Fang Industrial High School, Stella Maris Ursuline High School, Tzu Chi Tainan Jing Si Hall, and offered performances in Taipei for other NGOs, for a total audience of over 6,000 people.

29 New Immigrant Care Program Developing the New Force: The Second Generation of New Immigrants Empowering new immigrant children and promoting a diverse culture Organized by: Cathay Charity Foundation Co-organized by: Cathay United Bank Foundation and Cathay Real Estate Foundation E ntering the 21th Century, the Taiwanese society should acknowledge the trend of a diverse culture taking place, in addition to the issue of low birth rate and an aging population. Since 2005, Cathay Charity Foundation had started crafting various kinds of service projects targeting "new immigrant women" and the issues regarding cultural shock, language, and parenting that they faced after coming to Taiwan. Over the years, these new immigrants had gradually settled into local communities, and now a developing issue about the education of new immigrants' children has emerged. The foundation believes the diverse cultural background should be taken as a highly valued advantage for new immigrant children. After researching with experts and scholars, the foundation jointly worked with Eden Social Welfare Foundation, National Taipei University of Education and six junior high and elementary schools in Dongshan District of Tainan City kicking off a series of empowerment programs since These programs aim at strengthening these children's cultural advantages and shortening the gap they experienced in learning. In addition to developing the second generation of new immigrants for Taiwan, we hope our endeavors would eliminate the stigmatization of new immigrants and promote a society embracing diverse culture. Theme 1: Dedicated Empowerment Program with Eden Social Welfare Foundation The empowerment program co-established by Cathay and Eden Social Welfare Foundation since 2010 targets new immigrant children at elementary and junior high school age. Each year this program receives 100 admissions and provides dedicated empowerment courses which focus on the cultural background these children born with. The program starts to train students to become volunteers so that they 2016 Dedicated Empowerment Program Activity Content Time Empowerment Program Volunteer Service Project Parent and Children Charity Day Teamwork Workshop For elementary school children: theatrical course (entry level and advanced level) For junior high school students: themed courses and multi-media clubs Ten volunteers who were chosen as seed instructors visited Ho Chi Minh City during summer vacation in 2016 to offer voluntary services at the disability association and Vinh Long Province bilingual kindergarten.

30 New Immigrant Care Program Theme 2: Excellence and Happiness Project Taking New Immigrant Children back to Mother's Homeland The key for new immigrant children to find their identity lies in knowing the language and culture of their parent's homeland. Therefore, the foundation worked with National Taipei University of Education on a detailed organization and launched the Excellence and Happiness Project which contains interlinked three stages. Language course was provided at the first stage for new immigrant children to learn their mothers' native tongue. At the second stage, home coming trips were organized for children and parents to go visiting mothers' home in Vietnam and Indonesia as a way of helping children establish their identity through face-to-face communication with relatives on mother's side. As of 2016, this project had already offered 7 terms of Vietnamese language programs and subsidized home coming trips for 30 groups of parents, children and their teachers. At the third stage, the teachers who accompanied the home coming trips were required to design teaching paradigms which incorporated their experiences from the project and focused on passing on the values of diverse culture to the children in Taiwan. In 2016, the Excellence and Happiness Project entered the fourth and fifth stages. Pre-service teachers were recruited in universities and they joined the home coming trips to Vietnam and Indonesia. Then they learned from teachers about material collection and course preparation. A contest of language course planning was held in this regard. Moreover, the project also invited 26 students and teachers from Lawrence S. Ting Memorial School in Vietnam to visit Taiwan and hold a bilingual (Vietnamese and English) teaching camp. They brought the most authentic cultural experiences to new immigrant children who shared the same ties of blood but lived in Taiwan through activities like Vietnamese language 5 4 The Chairman of Cathay Charity Foundation Fredrick F.

Theme 3: International Conference Promoting Exchanges with South East Asian Countries In order to increase the impact of our advocacy in policy field, the foundation co-organized the International Conference on Teaching Practice of Cross-cultural Experiences again in 2016 with K-12 Education Administration, Ministry of Education, and National Taipei University of Education. The foundation invited 120 experts and scholars from the public sector, industry and academic circle to discuss the empowerment initiatives for the second generation of new immigrants, and explore the teaching and education issues for new immigrant children through experience sharing. Theme 4: Supporting New Immigrant Children's Education through After-school Care Program Dongshan District is located in remote country in Tainan City where new immigrant brides take a relatively higher percentage. The population of new immigrant children in elementary and junior high schools account for up to 33%. Also, a lot of children are from single parent or grandparenting families. As a result, the children in Dongshan District generally fell behind in school due to scarce resources in education. The foundation maintained the sponsoring of the After-school Care Program which was initiated since 2011 in 6 schools (i.e. Dongyuan Junior High School, Dongyuan Elementary School, Dongshan Elementary school, Chingshan Elementary School, Shengsian Elementary School, and Ka-Bua Sua Elementary School). This program offer tutoring to students after school for the purpose of filling up the gap of educational resources, benefiting about 240 new immigrant children and financially challenged students in each semester. The foundation also had provided financial support to the after-school program held by Chongwen Women's Association in Oyster Shack Village in Kouhu Township, Yunlin County since Oyser Shack Village had experienced serious problems of population outflow, and single parent family and grandparenting issues, which had led to children's deviant behavior. Yu-Chai Chen, the after-school program initiator, said the 40 elementary school and junior high school children in this program had shown improvement in academic performance and did not engage in activities like drug taking. New immigrant children learned team spirit through team challenges in the teamwork workshop

Cathay's Dream Come True Program inspires children to dare to dream and to use their creativity to challenge themselves and break the limit. We hope these experiences of fighting to achieve a goal would plant a seed of passion, perseverance, faith and dream in the children's heart so that they will apply these experiences in the future and create a unique future for themselves and for the world. Process matters much more than result The Dream Come True Program which was initiated in 2013 aims at supporting children in remote villages to dare to face challenges and pursue their dreams along with their teachers. First, students and teachers propose a Dream Come True project and have the time of one year to complete the project, and Cathay would grant the prize money after they achieve the goal. The process of continuous practices Dream Come True Program and Cathay Children Development Camp inspires children to learn from failures and not to fear challenges, which would be rooted in their heart for a lifetime. Over the past three years, the foundation had offered financial support over NT$ 1,000,000 (US$ 30,864) each year to more than 30 schools benefiting 800 children in remote villages. We also hope our actions initiated by corporate world would attract more local resources to the cause, making positive impact to the communities and schools. The Dream Come True Program in the third year provided support to 14 elementary schools arising from almost a hundred proposals through two rounds of selection process. The selected schools included some remote country schools which were about to be merged with other schools or to be closed, but they still showed the never-give-up spirit by fighting to the last moment! Cathay also organized a networking event for the elementary schools embarking on Dream Come True projects for teachers and principals to get together sharing their projects and missions. In the event, they rooted for each other for achieving their goals! Cathay volunteers and judges also visited the project-taking schools to boost the morale for students and teachers during the project on-going period. When the projects came to the end, almost 100 students and teachers were invited to the final presentation event and Cathay Children Development Camp. 國泰志工與和順國小孩子們打成一片 共創新詩 Cathay volunteers engaged well with children from Heshun Elementary School and wrote poems with them.

"I feel afraid and think I can't do this sometimes when I need to face a challenge. But seeing her practicing so hard, she gave me courage", said a kid after the training with Cathay Women Table Tennis Team and Trithalon Team. Athletes' demonstration and guidance from coaches helped the children learn the sportsmanship and motivated them to pursue their goals. According to the teachers who accompanied, they will power demonstrated by professional athletes who never stop improving their skills and strength is the best example of the spirit of Dream Come True Program and therefore the best role models for kids. The inspirations brought by them had planted a seed in children that will grow into passion and stamina sustaining them to chase their dreams in the future. Muggsy Children were receiving coaching from NBA legend Tyrone Muggsy Bogues. 1 Minzu Daai Elementary School Basketball Team Achieves Great Result This story unfolded with a group of children falling 2 behind in academic performance and a group of warm-hearted teachers from a school devastated by landslide caused by Typhoon Morakot. Instead of losing hope, the teachers and children decided they would get together to face the aftermath of landslide. With the strength emerged from painstaking experiences, this group of kids decided to challenge themselves by playing basketball. They said they would hang on the practices no matter how hard! According to their project, these kids set up to achieve the goals of "150,000 shoots" and "playing into national match". Every day they were the earliest who came to the school and the last ones who left. Although they lost the match at national round, they didn't give up on practicing. In April, 2016, Cathay invited these 20 kids to come to Taipei attending the "NBA Youth Madness" and received coaching directly from the NBA legend Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues for 30 minutes. As the shortest player in NBA history, the 160 cm tall Muggsy played point guard in NBA for 15 years. His example strengthened the kids' confidence because Muggsy proved that height wouldn't restrain one's performance in basketball. In July, Minzu Daai Basketball Team defeated a strong opponent and won the champion of the match, their best performance ever. These children might not have the best academic performance in school. However, they found confidence and discipline in the basketball court. They wrote their own story of self-transformation. More importantly, they sent a message to other parents and teachers: don't give up on your child. Children felt a great sense of accomplishment when they built a gigantic cone together. 200 The children from Jialu Elementary School completed their challenge of unicycling the 200km trail to Hualien and Taitung, and they even helped cleaning elementary schools hit by typhoon.

This joint exhibition conveyed the artists' deep affection for Taiwan and expressed the joy of entering into a new year in spring season. The 8 artists create their work inspired by things existing in their surroundings and daily life. They explore the traces of a Taiwanese character. They use brushes to take down the scenes which are slowly diminishing in this land and portray their distinctive feeling about nature, or show their profound hope and expectation towards the world and the society through sculpture. Creators' rich emotions gave rhythm to every stroke, harmony to colors, fullness to the form of art and completed the work with the essence of life. An authentic flavor of Taiwan was shown in this exhibition which also told the traces of time for the island. Ren-Shan Lin gave a lecture titled "Hundred Years of Impressionism in Taiwan" and others

41 Art Event Series 03/05~03/26 Idea Y-C Hsieh's Recent Works: Immeasurable Form and Non-formed Lakshanas 04/09~04/30 Tien-Fu Jiang s 5 th Oil Painting Solo Exhibition ( 6) ( 7) Senior Executive Vice President of Cathay United Bank Po-Tsang Hsieh (6 th from right) took photo with artist Idea Y-C Hsieh (7 th from right) and other guests at the opening event of "Idea Y-C Hsieh's Recent Works: Immeasurable Form and Non-formed Lakshanas". 9 The artist Tien-Fu Jiang(9 th from left in back row) took photo with other guests at the opening event of "Tien-Fu Jiang s 5 th Oil Painting Solo Exhibition". Gerhard Richter As opposed to contemporary art that focuses on critiquing and visual sense of beauty, Idea Y-C Hsieh insists the pureness of beauty through his abstract oil paintings and ink wash paintings. Hsieh pursues joy and beautifulness brought to people and space in his art. The purely good feeling was perceived by viewers when they appreciated Hsieh s artwork. This kind of emotion echoing to the artwork forms a harmony for one's heart and art. His recent works in the exhibition were inspired by the German contemporary artist Gerhard Richter. All of the paintings were filled with philosophical thinking of Daoism and Zen, expressing an ultimately pure spiritual world in the form of nature through abstract scratching of colors on the canvas. Every creature in the universe has its dao which may shine or diminish. The dao has its reality and can be attested to, not act and without form. Virtue is said to have no form but emerges from soul. Immeasurability and infinity of form is vain and hence it is lakshanas. To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower. Hsieh's abstract art let us see endless variations of form that started nowhere and ended in vain, which led the way to ultimate beauty. Tien-Fu Jiang, an artist granted with the first Art Education Contribution Award from Ministry of Education, has devoted to his cause bringing art to local communities. He has infused artistic elements to school campuses and decorated the Nangang HSR station and the fence of MRT construction site with art, enhancing the artistic sense of the environment and showing us the effect of combining art into environment. This solo exhibition included two series. "Pastoral Symphony: Richly Cultivating Taiwan" was a documentation of the artist's own experiences as a child growing up in the rural village.

Deputy Secretary-General of Cathay United Bank Foundation Joan Chen (right) took photo with artist Yu-Pei Pu (left) at the opening event of "Yu-Pei Pu's Solo Exhibition: Fabric Paintings". When we think of art classes in elementary schools, there must be a piece of paper and a box of 12 color crayons laid on the desk. The sky has to be blue and sun must be round. There seems to be some rules. However, Lilia Tsai chooses to be true to herself. She learned from several different artists such as Che-Tsai Shen, Pei-Hsiao Tseng and Shen-Hsi Chang, which had resulted into the variety of her styles and her boldness of trying new things. The experiences acquired from daily life inject vitality to her paintings with fierce emotions shown in the images. This is Tsai's latest exhibition since 5 years ago, an extremely different presentation of herself. She said in this fast changing world one had to learn to accept a lot of things and let go a lot of troubles. The script of life was not written by humans. Therefore, one would need a rest stop from time to time, taking a short break and allowing one's heart to stop following the secular rules for a while until being recharged and inspired again. This exhibition was Tsai's expression of her inner world and interpretation of her spiritual side. What kind of painting is this? This question often pops up when people see Yu-Pei Pu's work for the first time. What Yu-Pei Pu create is "fabric painting" made by stitches on fabric, a rarely seen form of art creation. Pu presented originality and uniqueness in her fabric paintings, which were never done by others. Yu-Pei Pu is an artist who followed standard education path in the school. She studied western paintings and also Chinese painting for 7 years. After graduating from school, she started a career in the field of children's art and thus had a further apprehension about the essence of art: art needs to convey artist's interpretation of the people, the time, and vitality, in addition to artist's own personality and creativity. She learned how to make fabric patch out of a chance at the age of 40. Then she incorporated the essence of modern art into patch work by adding a sense of creativity focused in western painting and artistic perception commonly seen in Chinese painting and combining the abstract and concreteness. Without using quilted fabric, she framed fabric like oil painting canvas and thus presented smooth lines on fabrics. The contents of her creation included landscape and bird-and-flower. During recent five years, she extended her work to wool felt, ribbon embroidery, 3D patch, and small decorative items. She also dyed her won fabrics and hand-painted bird and flower, adding rich materials and new flavors to her works

43 Art Event Series 07/09~08/06 Long Li, Yuan-Ho Pan, Feng Wang, and Chi-Wei Yang's Oil Painting Joint Exhibition: True Paintings /13~08/ Little Prince Autism Art Charity Exhibition Deputy Secretary-General of Cathay United Bank Foundation Joan Chen took photo with artists Chi-Wei Yang, Feng Wang, Yuan-Ho Pan, and Long Li (from left to right) at the opening event of "Long Li, Yuan-Ho Pan, Feng Wang, and Chi-Wei Yang's Oil Painting Joint Exhibition: True Paintings". At the opening event of 2016 Little Prince Autism Art Charity Exhibition, Chairman of Cathay United Bank Foundation Roger M. H. Lee took photo with Director of New Taipei City Autism Association Ming-Hsing Chiang, Director-General of New Taipei City Social Bureau Chin-Li Chang, autistic artists and other guests. The exhibition of True Paintings took place at a time when the trend of the so-called contemporary art subsided. The Art Center invited these artists who "paint" without depending on modern technology, just like painters prior to the 20th Century. In the exhibition, they showed their work with the approach of sketching. The four artists who each had different personalities and styles didn't know each other but got together because of their persistence on sketching. They created their works out of basics and simplicity, presenting the beauty of ordinary things countless times. The feelings perceived from the most ordinary and man's esteem towards the nature were documented by their most refined techniques. The colors on the images are the traces of life and soul. The most precious gift from god is our perception towards beauty, and men create art to celebrate it. The four artists of this joint exhibition learned with simple and humble heart, and painted what they saw in life. Their works were composed of aesthetics like poetry, touching viewer's heart through visual stimulation. This exhibition shared the beauty of pureness through the form of sketching. In order to help these little princes and princesses express their talent and make them visible to the general public, Cathay United Bank Foundation invited autistic people from New Taipei City Autism Association to launch the 2016 Little Prince Autism Art Charity Exhibition in August at the Art Center. The Art Center offered a professional venue for them to show their work and for more people to know and understand them. The 2016 Little Prince Autism Art Charity Exhibition showed 88 paintings and pottery sculptures with subjects on a great variety of themes created by 26 little artists. Some paintings were full of colors and others just composed of simple lines. Their artistic talent caught the attention of viewers. The process of painting or creating serves as an outlet for autistic people to release the thoughts and emotions they can't express through language. The public exhibition allowed people to see the pureness hidden in their heart and also a very different yet beautiful world of stars. Through the charitable exhibition, the foundation helped autistic artists showing the wonderful world inside their heart. They might not be good at expressing themselves through words, but could tell their thoughts and feelings through art. Their works might not be maturely crafted art but expressed the pure joy of happiness, which definitely deserved our appreciation

44 Art Event Series 10/01~10/29 08/27~09/24 Peng-Pin Pan, Terry Wang, Jung-Wen Tsai and Chino Yang's Oil Painting Joint Exhibition: Stories of Scenery 10/01~10/29 Fu-Rong Hsiao, Mei-Shing Wang, Chiou-Yue Huang, Tung-Hsueh Li, Shu-Hua Kuo's Joint Exhibition: Day Tripper Chases the Dream Artists Peng-Pin Pan, Terry Wang, Jung-Wen Tsai and Chino Yang (from right to left) took a group photo at the opening event of their exhibition "Peng-Pin Pan, Terry Wang, Jung-Wen Tsai and Chino Yang's Oil Painting Joint Exhibition: Stories of Scenery". Artists Shu-Hua Kuo, Fu-Rong Hsiao, Mei-Shing Wang, Chiou-Yue Huang and Tung-Hsueh Li (from left to right) took a group photo at the opening event of their exhibition "Fu-Rong Hsiao, Mei-Shing Wang, Chiou-Yue Huang, Tung-Hsueh Li, Shu-Hua Kuo's Joint Exhibition: Day Tripper Chases the Dream". At the season of early fall, the Art Center invited the four artists crazy for landscape sketching for an oil painting joint exhibition titled "Stories of Scenery". Peng-Pin Pan, an artist who has painted for more than 40 years, reached his peak of creation during the past decade. He paints landscape with subjects across Europe, China and Taiwan. Terry Wang, a traveler and adventurer, used to spend 7 months along in Tibet doing sketches. Wang loves landscape sketching, especially at the wild nature where no external forces interfere. Jung-Wen Tsai always carries his painting tools rushing into the nature. He is an artist who insists on presenting the lively aura of nature. His paintings often show the magnificent nature with landscape in a variety of angles. Watching Chino Yang's paintings is like reading classics literature. He has strong perception of light, color and form. The sharp contrast between light and shade presents perspective in his paintings. The exhibition featured each artist's own story of sceneries, including the relaxed moments on the trip, the spectacular view of nature, a corner inspiring unlimited imagination just like literature, and celebration of the Mother Nature s inclusiveness. Through sketching, a story was given to each of the paintings, which revealed the emotions and images cherished by the artists at the moment. Women have been playing the role of muse and model for artists. However, there are a lot of women who have the gift to create and they fight hard to chase the dream of creating art. This joint exhibition, titled Day Tripper Chases the Dream, invited five female artists to show their works. Fu-Rong Hsiao's works were infused with the sweetness of life. Her exquisite efforts turned the scenes of ordinary life into art filled with the female-oriented lightness, tranquility, and warmth. Mei-Shing Wang pursued the harmony of colors existing in the realistic nature, showing the people, birds and flower in her artistic world. Viewers could relate to the pure kindness and beauty conveyed in her works. Chiou-Yue Huang made abstract paintings using symbols, lines and colors to take down the bits and pieces in the life. Her style was distinctive and sleek. The colors of her painting gave a sense of modernism and orientalism. Tung-Hsueh Li's works were about life. She expressed herself and her perception in her realistic oil paintings. Her landscape paintings contain calmness. Her still life paintings send elegance and her portraits vividness. Shu-Hua Kuo used abundant colors to tell her stories on canvas. The bright and colorful nature was freely splashed on the canvas! 84 85

45 Art Event Series 11/05~11/26 12/03~12/24 C. Jeff Shieh s New Series of Oil Painting Solo Exhibition: When East Meets West Su-Ying Pan's Oil Painting Solo Exhibition: A Tung Tree against Sound of Creek 3 Artists C. Jeff Shieh (3 rd from left) and Wen-Hsiung Tsai(1 st from left) took a group photo at the opening event of "C. Jeff Shieh s New Series of Oil Painting Solo Exhibition: When East Meets West". The artist Su-Ying Pan as a tour guide browsed her paintings for audiences at the opening event of "Su-Ying Pan s Oil Painting Solo Exhibition: A Tung Tree against Sound of Creek". C. Jeff Shieh s prefers to use thick paints, clear composition and textural strokes to present the solid beauty of oil paintings. These features also have become his personal style. Shieh has lived in the US for many years. Previously he showed a social realism series and water lily series in Taiwan. In the past few years, the wild country of northern Texas inspired him to break through the boundary of western paintings and create new works. He practiced calligraphy and read Chinese classics, trying to permeate the ancient Chinese philosophy and his reflection on ethics into his paintings. As a result, the birth of a new series of oil paintings filled with lively western romanticism in the world of oriental philosophy. Over the decades, Shieh had sharpened his skills and had made breakthroughs in terms of style and themes at different stages. His creation of this series was infused with the concept hidden deeply in Chinese characters. More importantly, this was a new presentation that incorporated the East and West at a spiritual level. We believe these works would leave their own marks in the art history. The force of art is boundless. Su-Ying Pan started learning oil painting 19 years ago. At that time she realized oil painting is an art for which a painter needs to prepare a set of strategies. One wouldn't hang on mastering this art for a lifetime if doing it just for fun or leisure. Therefore, she chose a difficult path. She went back to school at an age after 40. Through the sketching training and research on the language of painting in the class, she sharpened her skills on observation and the basic production of oil paintings. Pan believes painting is physical labor that requires using heart, brain, eye and hands. The more she learns the more she feels there is no boundary in art, and she feels her ambition for higher stage. She says painting is like a battle for her to reach her spiritual goal. The process is filled with pain and incomparable joy at the same time. The year of 2016 marked the 20th anniversary of her art career. Pan wanted to bid farewell to the past two decades by showing over 10 series of portrait, still life and landscape paintings and marched into her next stage with humble attitude. She also wanted to share her wonderful life experiences through this solo exhibition, which all could have the chance to chase "another beautiful self"
