2024年，来自潮州金石镇的视频编导与剪辑师陈婉璇，在接受潮舗 The Teochew Store 专访时，分享了越南珠洋(Vĩnh Châu)芬姐的故事。据介绍，珠洋的华人主要是潮裔，故有“小潮州”之称。在此出生的芬姐年逾七十，祖籍潮阳溪美。踏上家乡的土地、看看家乡的风光，是她毕生的心愿。然而由于种种原因，这个心愿一直未能实现。帮芬姐早日回潮阳，也成了婉璇最大的心愿之一。今年，在中国和越南两地潮州青年的共同努力下，芬姐终于如愿踏上潮州的土地，回到了自己的祖籍地。这一幕着实让人感动和欣喜。

As the result of torrential rains on 29 and 30 August, extensive areas in the Teochew region were afflicted by floods. In some worst hit parts in Teoyor (潮陽 ) and Pholeng (普寧) districts, water-levels reached up to 2 metres and entire towns and villages were covered under water. Watch the Gaginang spirit in action as communities across Teochew mobilised themselves wasted no time to step forward selflessly evacuate and provide relief to tens of thousands of families trapped by the deluge. Teochew nang, Gaginang!

76-year-old Deng Dechang has been trying to carry out a wish for nearly three decades. He wanted to rebuild a Taoist charity in Shantou.

Deng used to be a businessman running a paper factory. He quit his career when he was 57 years old, determined to reconstruct Yanshou Charity, a prominent Taoist temple that was burnt into ruins during the Cultural Revolution.
