過得比街友還克勤克儉的公務員

許素華是一名住在帳篷裡的公務員。她在國家圖書館上班,擁有一份穩定的收入,卻自願選擇在路邊吃便當、睡在帳篷裡的生活,一點也不覺得辛苦。

帳篷裡沒水沒電很不方便,就連要上個廁所,素華都得帶著重要家當,跑到350公尺外的公用廁所。平時素華上班得往返台北市,行動不便還會嚴重暈車的她,只能以腳踏車做為通勤工具。上班尖峰時刻,許素華要在車水馬龍中爭道,無疑是一大挑戰。




家裡的掌上明珠,長大卻無家可歸

1960年出生的許素華在家中排行老二,家裡開宮廟,她有一個姐姐跟三個弟弟。幼兒時期,素華罹患小兒麻痺,外婆擔心素華未來生活沒有保障,因此把當時剛蓋好的磚造房一樓留給她,但房子卻被人偽造盜賣,一夕間,許素華的家沒了。





抗爭路坎坷 幸有戰友一路相伴

土地遭盜賣受影響的住戶很多,素華第一時間奔相走告通知鄰居,發起抗爭得到許多人的支持,鄰居慧真就是其中之一。

因為素華的及時提醒,現在慧真的家還是維持老樣子,沒有被盜賣牽連受害。多年來素華多方蒐集相關資料,還為此考上輔大法律系,並將整個土地被盜賣的來龍去脈調查清楚,讓慧真也很欽佩。因為忙著抗爭,素華與家人聚少離多,慧真住得近,時不時就會來探望她。



想方設法爭取公平正義,卻不被家人諒解

除了姐姐素蘭,素華的父母與三個弟弟都已經過世,素華身邊的親人所剩無幾。房子強拆後,大家各自為了生活打拚,也很少碰面。其實抗爭一開始,素華與家人們的關係還沒這麼疏離。

只是時間久了,鄰居撐不下去,拿了建商給的補償金離開了,但只有素華不願意妥協,讓姪子們又氣又無奈。家人們也都因為心疼素華這樣過生活,擔心她的安危,紛紛跳出來勸她放棄,好好過日子。但素華說,她不只要把阿嬤給她的房子要回來,她還希望真相可以被揭發。

素華的堅持把大家搞到心力交瘁,不定時到訪,也對素蘭一家造成困擾,讓素蘭忍不住也對素華有些埋怨。


因為抗爭關係,素華已經十幾年沒上過桌好好吃頓飯,這回來賓的到訪,能與素華姊妹之間產生共鳴嗎?
