Show Lo Drives Away Typhoon, Films Charity Commercial Foundation For the Blind, Guardian Angel For the Blind

06/27/2008



Show Lo is the acclaimed "iron man" of the entertainment industry. Just his careers in singing, filming, and hosting have him busy until next February, his work schedule is packed. A while back, he had gotten a high fever and needed to get IV drips due to over-exhaustion. But under the cordial invitation by the Foundation of the Blind, Show, without hesitation, squeezed in some time to be the annual spokesperson for Foundation of the Blind. Unthinkably, they finally penciled in a day for filming, but they were met with a capricious "Wind God" where a typhoon rolled in. At first they were worried that this would then delay their progress, and that Show wouldn't be able to find any more time to do this, but to fight for a speaking ground for the blind, Show insisted to continue working in the wind and rain, they had to finish this mission. Following Andy Lau and Richie Ren, the foundation for the blind invited the healthy, energetic, king of popularity Show Lo to be their annual spokesperson. Besides filming 2 commercials for the Foundation, Show used his creativity and artful talents to personally made a design for the Foundation's charity donations items, putting his love and care for the blind into action ; for 50,000 vision-disabled friends in Taiwan, contributing his love and care.



In the charity commercial, Show became the guardian angel for the blind, wearing a charming white suit, symbolic of a white cane, always accompanying the blind. helping them walk about freely on their own. For his first encounter with these vision-disabled people, Show had done some studying on his own. He not only took some time to learn about the “Ask, touch, guide, answer” basics of knowledge for the blind at the foundation, but also personally experienced holding a white cane and how inconvenient it was. Show expressed, “Closing your eyes, and not relying on your vision at all. Don’t even mention dancing, even taken a step forward is a little scary, especially when the roads in Taiwan in more complicated. Besides relying on the white cane, vision-disabled friends also need yours and my extended helping hand.”



In the 2008 annual charity commercial, Show is guarding 3 vision-disabled friends, who have all had training in direction-finding, so they could regularly go out, take the bus, go to and from work with a white cane. But even though they’ve had the training, there are still some complications more or less. The commercial director wanted to convey the most realistic life of a blind person, so he especially had the production observe how they move around, and figured that when they didn’t have a white cane with them, it was really too dangerous! For example, there are always construction pits on the roads, and if a blind person doesn’t use a white cane, they could very well fall and hurt themselves. Uneven steps and stairs, bridges, tunnels, and even motorcycles that weave through little alley ways could become a life-threatening obstacle for the blind!



Going this memorable interaction with some vision-disabled friends, Show not only lent his helping hand to the blind, but also hopes that every one be able to become a guardian angel for the blind. When you’re walking on the street, so long as you see someone with a white cane, please don’t hesitate to lend out a helping hand. Only with the help of everyone will these people be able to come out of the darkness, and live an obstacle-free life.

E-NEWS】羅志祥驅走颱風拍攝愛盲公益廣告　扮演盲人守護紳

http://www.starnews.com.tw/news_detail.asp?kind=1&subkind=2&nid=1009

素有 "鐵人"封號的藝人羅志祥，光是唱歌、拍戲和主持工作就已經排到明年二月，行程滿檔，前陣子還因過度操勞而發燒吊點滴。但在愛盲基金會力邀之下，小豬二話 不說，硬是軋出時間，擔任愛盲年度代言人。沒想到，好不容易排出一天檔期拍攝通告，就遇上行徑詭異的"風神"颱風來攪局，原本擔心因此耽誤進度，小豬就再 也軋不出時間，但為了爭取替視障朋友發聲的機會，小豬堅持風雨無阻、一定要完成代言任務
繼劉德華與任賢齊之後，愛盲基金會邀請到形象健康、充滿活力的人氣天王羅志祥擔任年度代言人。除了將為愛盲拍攝兩支公益廣告，小豬還將發揮創意與設計天 份，親手為愛盲基金會的義賣品畫設計圖，將他愛盲助盲的理念化為實際行動，為台灣五萬多名視障朋友，奉獻心力。


在愛盲公益廣告中，小豬化身為視障朋友的守護神，以一身純白色的帥氣造型亮相，象徵他就像白手杖一樣，時時刻刻陪伴在視障者身邊，幫助他們獨立自主且安全 的行動。為了與視障朋友的第一次接觸，羅志祥事前可是做足了功課，不但特別排出時間向愛盲基金會的專業社工學習「問、拍、引、報」等基本助盲常識，更嘗試 拿著白手杖親身體驗視障者行動和生活的不便。羅志祥表示:「閉上眼睛，完全不依賴視覺，別說跳舞了，就連往前踏一步都有點怕怕的，更何況台灣的路況比較複 雜，視障朋友除了靠白手杖，更需要你我主動伸出援手。」


在愛盲2008年度公益廣告中，被羅志祥守護的三位視障朋友，都受過定向行動訓練，平時可以獨自拿白手杖出門、搭車、上下班不成問題。但即便是訓練有素的 視障者，坐活中仍然充滿了大大小小的障礙。廣告導演為了呈現視障者最真實的生活面，特別派員觀察他們平常出門的動線，這才發現:要是沒有白手杖，真是太危 險了!比方說，馬路上隨處可見的施工坑洞，若視障者不靠白手杖先行探知，極有可能跌落受傷;高高低低的騎樓、天橋和地下道，甚至是巷弄間橫衝直撞的摩托 車，對視障者的生命安全都是極大威脅!


經過這次與視障朋友的深度接觸，羅志祥不但發心要投注更多心力幫助視障者，也期許大家都能成為視障者的守護神。走在路上，只要看到持白手杖的視障朋友，請 不要吝於付出愛心，唯有大家互相扶持，才有可能幫助他們真正走出黑暗、擁有無障礙的生活。愛盲基金會劃撥捐款帳號15935356，愛心捐款專線(02) 2361-6663。
