我是袁淑玲,東方報的記者。73Please respect copyright.PENANAVAhaw2ZEw5
73Please respect copyright.PENANAjqEVE5Ui6B
《東方報》為地方報,自95年7月1日創刊,始終秉持媒體是中道力量、社會的良知、良心,也是公眾的守護者。73Please respect copyright.PENANAduvMw8DnSP

作家余光中說:「寫信,是對人周到;記日記,是對自己周到。」曾幾何時,人們只能透過 E-mail 來維繫彼此間的情感。收到信的人,或許簡單幾個字;有耐心點的,會回個三、五行,但那種感覺終究是陌生。73Please respect copyright.PENANAfAt6eIombN
73Please respect copyright.PENANAcBjLbp4ngT
寫信的變少了,可是郵差的工作量,並未因此減少,取而代之的是各式廣告信、各種帳單;手機費、電話單、電費單、水費單,甚至連機車排氣管的檢測單,薄薄一張,也是得按址投遞,準時送達;那更不用說是公文類的重要文件。73Please respect copyright.PENANAkHEEAI8AhK
73Please respect copyright.PENANAzcp0OhdodZ
我在報社已6年,是報社的元老之一。在工作崗位上兢兢業業,只為守護這塊美麗的土地和善良的人民。73Please respect copyright.PENANAyuibLkHeFg

想寫下一個故事;故事的角色,可能是你我每天都會遇到,感覺很熟悉,卻始終叫不出他的名字。73Please respect copyright.PENANADMs9agIC9p

從小在育幼院長大的健民,一直把郵差當成是自己最崇拜的對象。尤其,當他知道自己的親生父親,曾獲得優良郵務人員的肯定時;他就更加確定,自己往後一定要當個模範郵差。73Please respect copyright.PENANAezjlgNic8S
73Please respect copyright.PENANAtJjj9sEMnE
健民從未見過自己的親生父母;母親在生下他後,就難產過世;父親將尚未足月的健民,送往育幼院;雖是按時寄生活費,卻一次也沒來看過健民。73Please respect copyright.PENANAKlnhaXLqiL
73Please respect copyright.PENANAsQXqigsfLO
18歲,健民大學聯考落榜,而他的親生父親也在隔月病逝,這對健民來說,是雙重打擊。73Please respect copyright.PENANAhjmLpYa2ds
73Please respect copyright.PENANAgdWAO7Khmr
高中畢業又無一技之長的健民,只得四處打零工維生。抽煙、酗酒、賭博、吃檳榔,樣樣都來;每天賺領到的現金,不是花在買酒,就是賭博輸光。孤身一人,一人飽、全家飽,三十多歲,還是王老五,沒有任何積蓄。整天像個行屍走肉、混吃等死;健民前半段的人生,只能用“一事無成”來形容。73Please respect copyright.PENANAA6LDzQlogf
73Please respect copyright.PENANAS2drmBUDSf
所幸,他未忘初衷,仍一心想當個郵差,但郵局的考試,考了四次,才如願以備取的資格進入郵局。那年,健民35歲,就被調派到里港郵局,擔任外勤的郵務士。是巧合,也或許是冥冥中註定好的;里港郵局,就是健民父親生前最後一個服務的單位。73Please respect copyright.PENANAqHX7xn3u1t
73Please respect copyright.PENANA9kUaMcZrci
好不容易考進郵局,當上郵差,健民自然是很珍惜這難得的機會。他決定洗心革面;戒煙、戒酒、戒檳榔,也改掉賭博、熬夜等壞習慣。73Please respect copyright.PENANApAmXBpa5E8
73Please respect copyright.PENANAaNloOp8o3B
初來乍到,人生地不熟的健民,花了蠻長的時間,才融入其生活。不擅表達,口才笨拙,也不太喜歡和人交談,學習能力有些遲緩;多數民眾對健民的第一印象是—他是個濫好人。73Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3NArjVEJc
73Please respect copyright.PENANABkaETG46Ee
我是在6年前認識健民的;他姓唐。當時我剛到報社,被派去採訪一個滇緬村落—信國、定遠社區。73Please respect copyright.PENANA2azKiZ07L1
73Please respect copyright.PENANAZCHRwXlxV3
那邊有種植波羅蜜;每當成熟時,一棵棵巨大的樹幹上結實累累,非常壯觀。73Please respect copyright.PENANAzluVky4Z8c

不知道大家還記不記得《異域》這部電影?73Please respect copyright.PENANAZRQBfnq9Vt
73Please respect copyright.PENANA2uf8UqyJDN
它是根據台灣作家柏楊所撰寫的戰爭小說《異域》改編而成,最早以「血戰異域十一年」之名連載於民國五十年的《自立晚報》,署名鄧克保,之後才由平原出版社出版,易名「異域」(一九六一) 。而居住在信國、定遠社區的居民就是「異域」中所描寫的人物 (滇緬邊境美斯樂的子民) 。他們民國五十年,由國民政府安排撤遷到台灣,在這處偏遠的小村落安定下來。73Please respect copyright.PENANARxcAKxm1ux
73Please respect copyright.PENANAAJK2CsLouk
美斯樂,意思是和平的山莊,位滇緬邊境,有傣族、哈尼族、景頗族、拉牯族、布朗族等少數民族,飲食風味又酸又辣,是傳統生活習慣的最大特色,來台定居已經50年,許多人還是保有這樣的飲食習慣。73Please respect copyright.PENANA7OEiUYfwqy

井洒,取自傣語,是最傳統的料理,文史工作者梁宏才解釋:「井」指的是肉、「洒」有用刀剁碎的意思,「井洒」就是把半生熟的豬肉,和辣椒一起拌煮,辣椒把豬肉的鮮嫩引出來,口感十足。73Please respect copyright.PENANAeeUxvftlLh
73Please respect copyright.PENANAbCZ3IFTya2
社區媽媽夏貴珍,燒得一手好菜;像是番茄辣椒、涼拌粉條、包燒肉、包料魚、大薄片、牛肉乾巴、炒芭蕉花、生吃苦茄、酸辣牛肉、井洒、雲南酥肉、芋香雜燴等,都難不倒她,更是過年不可少的菜色。73Please respect copyright.PENANAwmkBuIfuEr
73Please respect copyright.PENANAA3GCiMOhy3

定遠社區的沐連生,是定居台灣的第二代。他說:當地還有種植香草的習慣,最常見的包括香茅、大茴香、薄荷,有些台灣很難買到的臭菜、遼草,居民也愛自己種。可別以為是這幾年香草成為飲食主流,當地居民跟著流行才種;這些在當地傳統料理裡頭,就是天然的調味料。73Please respect copyright.PENANA3attdgpMpp

我查了一些資料:中華郵政股份有限公司(簡稱中華郵政)是一個提供郵遞、儲匯、保險與金融等郵政服務的國營股份制企業,一般直接稱作「郵局」。前身為交通部郵政總局,下設郵政儲金匯業局,以及台灣北、中、南區郵政管理局;為了突破郵局既有的經營限制,並增加市場競爭力,2002年7月完成《郵政法》修法,並於2003年1月1日起,將郵政總局改制為中華民國交通部完全持股的國營公司。雖然名稱有「郵政」二字,但由於經營據點眾多,且經營儲金業務,故中華郵政擁有大量的資金(2011年底統計資料:約5.5兆元新台幣)。另一方面,因為網路、電話的普及,加上民間郵遞和快遞業者競爭,使得中華郵政的本業——郵務業務大幅萎縮,但因快捷與包裹業務與民間業者的訂價仍有相當差距,因此快捷與包裹業務仍然占據大部分業務。目前除了《郵政法》規定的信函(如帳單)必須經由郵局寄發外,其他普通、手寫信件的寄送件數已經變得相當少了。73Please respect copyright.PENANATamrqNSQEi
