春天的故事
陳衛(wèi)東
離開生我養(yǎng)我的故鄉(xiāng)已有三十多年了。無(wú)論飄到哪里,故鄉(xiāng)的人,故鄉(xiāng)的情,時(shí)刻陪伴著我。那里有父母的慈愛,鄉(xiāng)親們的關(guān)懷,老師與同學(xué)的友誼。在那發(fā)生了許多春天的故事,在我人生的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn),總是有恩人在幫助我,關(guān)心我,
??? 在初中的時(shí)候,有一次在大隊(duì)里玩,一個(gè)村干部說(shuō),你讀完高中到隊(duì)里來(lái)做點(diǎn)事。我說(shuō)好啊,這也提醒了我,讀完高中就到頭了。那時(shí)整個(gè)公社好像是有一個(gè)被推薦上了大學(xué),但那是要有后臺(tái)的,像我這樣是不可能的。沒(méi)有希望,心態(tài)倒也平衡。
??? 進(jìn)了浩北學(xué)校高一,我有幸有一個(gè)數(shù)學(xué)老師,姓陳。他很嚴(yán)格,教的我也能理解,他非常關(guān)心我,經(jīng)過(guò)他的推薦,我才有機(jī)會(huì)在高一下半年進(jìn)了海中高一(4)班。沒(méi)有陳老師,我的人生軌跡可能就不一樣了,那時(shí)鄉(xiāng)下也教一些英語(yǔ),英文老師姓施,英文字母歌就是那時(shí)學(xué)的,最后一句是:“為解放全人類,學(xué)習(xí)外國(guó)語(yǔ)”。
??? 四班人稱“阿寶”班,但我在那結(jié)識(shí)了不少好朋友。有一位住的離我很近,他有很多參考書,我們一起學(xué)習(xí),一起做題,四班語(yǔ)文老師姓石,常邀請(qǐng)我去他家。教英語(yǔ)的是位女老師,是她讓我?guī)嘣缱x讀英語(yǔ)。這也為我愛上英語(yǔ)埋下了種子。上大學(xué)后,學(xué)英語(yǔ)從來(lái)沒(méi)停過(guò),也養(yǎng)成了大聲朗讀英文的習(xí)慣,物理老師常常在講課時(shí)提到七班的劉鼓川,作我們的榜樣。正是鼓川的幫忙,我才買到了一本英漢字典,那是我最珍貴的一本工具書,如獲至寶。那時(shí)四班的體育還不錯(cuò),校運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)拿了好多名次。尤其是崔飛,我們都?xì)g呼雀躍,四班還發(fā)生了一個(gè)小插曲。有個(gè)女生燙了個(gè)很時(shí)髦的發(fā)型,惹得全校的人都來(lái)看,在78年那是一件不得了的事情,
??? 一個(gè)學(xué)期很快過(guò)了,暑假到了,聽我父親講有夏令營(yíng),后來(lái)才知道又有恩人幫忙,把我安排進(jìn)了高二(三)班,人稱快班。如果沒(méi)有他,我與現(xiàn)在這些同學(xué)就沒(méi)有緣分了,夏令營(yíng)的第一天,張老師就安排我與楊曉峰同桌?,F(xiàn)在回想起來(lái),在海中的時(shí)間是一生中真是很愉快美好的一段時(shí)光,班上老師和同學(xué)像一個(gè)大家庭一樣。像我這樣的鄉(xiāng)下孩子也到縣委大院玩,跟去一個(gè)好朋友家玩一樣??梢娡瑢W(xué)友誼多純潔,好多同學(xué)家我都去過(guò),這里就不一一列舉了,張老師宿舍也常去,他常利用他休息時(shí)間給我們講一些數(shù)學(xué)難題,他嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)認(rèn)真的學(xué)術(shù)態(tài)度使我獲益匪淺,直到今天,也培養(yǎng)了我對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)的極大興趣。后來(lái)在大學(xué)學(xué)計(jì)算機(jī)及相關(guān)的邏輯與數(shù)學(xué),我很喜歡,跟張老師的培養(yǎng)與教導(dǎo)是分不開的。
? 79年的高考我是在鄉(xiāng)下考的,那天還有雷陣雨,是我哥騎車送我去考場(chǎng),因?yàn)樵诤V猩系恼n,到鄉(xiāng)下??挤炊鴽](méi)壓力,給了我不少自信??挤殖鰜?lái)了,數(shù)學(xué)分是幾門課中最高的,有好心的老師到我家,建議學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)。我對(duì)未來(lái)也沒(méi)有設(shè)想,我爸建議報(bào)電子方面,認(rèn)為電子是將來(lái)發(fā)展方向。我就報(bào)了一堆電子,無(wú)線電方面。后來(lái)有一位南大來(lái)海門招生的是我同一個(gè)大隊(duì)的,問(wèn)起大隊(duì)里有誰(shuí)考的好的。他建議把專業(yè)改成計(jì)算機(jī)。南大是全國(guó)最早開設(shè)計(jì)算機(jī)專業(yè)的院校之一。多虧了他的幫忙,我從此愛上了計(jì)算機(jī)行業(yè),才有后來(lái)報(bào)考出國(guó)研究生的機(jī)會(huì)。
? ??大學(xué)的生活很清苦,簡(jiǎn)單但卻很愉快。人民助學(xué)金是我?guī)缀跞康纳顏?lái)源。比起現(xiàn)在農(nóng)村的孩子,我不知有多幸運(yùn)!沒(méi)有鄧小平,沒(méi)有國(guó)家改革開放,就沒(méi)有我今天。在南京有很多同學(xué),聚過(guò)好多次,,留下不少難忘的記憶,八二年南大招收研究生,計(jì)算機(jī)系軟硬件各有一個(gè)出國(guó)名額。因?yàn)榘嗌嫌袃蓚€(gè)同學(xué)也報(bào)考,我也跟著湊熱鬧??纪旰笠矝](méi)想什么,有一天,系主任把我叫到辦公室,當(dāng)時(shí)還有系辦主任在,他們問(wèn)我考得如何,我一時(shí)答不上來(lái)。然后他們通知我被錄取了軟件出國(guó)研究生,那是我想都不敢想的,真是天大的幸運(yùn)。
??? 自從84年漂洋過(guò)海以后,故鄉(xiāng)總是我心靈的依靠,從紐約到德克薩斯到加州,我好像離故鄉(xiāng)越來(lái)越近,2000年到2004年還常去北京,每次好幾個(gè)星期,希望做出一個(gè)具有中國(guó)自主知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的新一代無(wú)限通訊系統(tǒng),還在上海開設(shè)了試驗(yàn)網(wǎng),但遺憾的是,最后沒(méi)有能產(chǎn)品化,商用化,唯一的收獲可能是為祖國(guó)培養(yǎng)了一些通訊技術(shù)人才。
? ??在美國(guó)經(jīng)歷了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的誕生和爆發(fā),電子郵件從無(wú)到有,網(wǎng)絡(luò)瀏覽器從無(wú)到有,信息革命給世界帶來(lái)了翻天覆地的變化,三十年的改革開放也使祖國(guó)再次以強(qiáng)大的姿態(tài),屹立于世界。
? ??我從小接受的是無(wú)神論教育,但我相信是宇宙主宰在我的生命旅途上,安排了這么多的恩人。我要感謝故鄉(xiāng)的親人,老師和同學(xué),以及所有給我?guī)椭椭С值娜?。我要為他們獻(xiàn)獻(xiàn)上我的禱告,愿健康幸福與他們相伴,愿他們的生活充滿活潑的盼望,愿他們的心靈永遠(yuǎn)年輕,愿祖國(guó)更加強(qiáng)大,愿故鄉(xiāng)更加富有!
??? 最后我要給各位獻(xiàn)上一首我最喜愛的歌曲,
?“Because You Loved Me”?
Far all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through
Through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, ooh。 baby
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tail
I had your love, 1 had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe, I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because
I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me, the tender wind that
carried me
The light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration through the lies you were
the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when l was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
