4万:400万的牵挂
4 million cardiovascular patients to be saved
高官厚禄拴不住的心灵
A soul that cannot be restrained by high position and wealth.
张雅文
Zhang Yawen
亲爱的读者,在我上手术台之前,我要把我所釆访、所亲历的一切告诉你们,希望中国几百万像我一样徘徊于生命边缘的心脏病同胞能认识他-----著名心外科专家刘晓程。
愿上帝赐我神来之笔,否则我将有愧于我的主人公,有愧于千千万万亟待拯救的生命,也有愧于我这颗生死未卜的心。
—作者题记
Dear readers,
Before I go into surgery, I want to share with you all that I have interviewed and experienced, in the hope that millions of Chinese people like me, who are on the brink of death, struggling with heart disease, can get to know him - the renowned cardiothoracic surgery expert, Liu Xiaocheng.
May God grant me the gift of God, otherwise I will feel sorry for my protagonist, and for the millions of lives that urgently need to be saved, and for my own heart that is in great danger.
Author's Preface

序 Preface
读者朋友,当你看到这份来自国务院的数据报告,一定会感到振聋发曠,触目惊心。
“心血管病是人类健康和生命的主要杀手之一。我国现有400多万心血管病人等待手术,而全国每年仅能完成4万多例。泰达国际心血管病医院的建成,将为改善我国心血管的治疗做出贡献,给广大心血管病患者带来福音。”（摘自吴仪发给泰达国际心血管病医院开业典礼的贺词）
My dear readers, when you read this report from the State Council, you will surely feel shocked and dismayed.
"Cardiovascular disease is one of the major killers of health and life. Currently,there are more than 4 million cardiovascular patients waiting for surgery in China, and only 40,000 operations can be performed each year nationwide. The completion of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) will contribute to the improvement of cardiovascular treatment in China and bring good news to the majority of cardiovascular patients." (From Wu Yifa's congratulatory message to the opening ceremony of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH).
另据报道:中国每天有1万多人死于心脑血管、癌症等疾病。北京平均每小时就有一人死于心血管疾病。

It is also reported that more than 10,000 people in China die from cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases, cancer and other diseases every day. On average, one person dies of cardiovascular disease every hour in Beijing.
中国现有400多万需要手术的心脏病人,但得到手术的比例仅为1% ,剩下那几百万心脏病患者将揣着“破碎”的心,日夜盼望着白衣天使能拯救他们的生命。但是,或因昂贵的医疗费用,或因排不上号住不上院,或因庸医的误诊,多少病人苦苦等了三年五年,甚至十年八年,从而错过了最佳治疗时间,过早地结束了本该延续几十年的生命。而排不上号住不上院、交不起医疗费的,多是那些没职没权没钱没关系的普通百姓,尤其苦了那些贫苦农民和下岗职工。
There are more than 4 million heart disease patients in China who need surgery, but only 1% of them got operated, leaving millions of heart disease patients with "broken" hearts, hoping day and night for doctors to save their lives. However, due to the high cost of medical treatment, inability to get hospitalized, or misdiagnosis by incompetent doctors, many patients have suffered for three or five years, or even eight to ten years, thus missing the best time for treatment and ending their lives prematurely. And those who are unable to get hospitalized or can’t afford afford medical bills are mostly ordinary people with no job, no power and no money, especially the poor farmers and laid-off workers who are particularly struggling.
这种严重的供需失衡现象,深深地触动了一位医生的良知,他因此而做出的ー次次惊人之举,像地震一般震撼着中外医疗界,震撼着千百万亟待拯救的生命,也震撼着中国亟待改革的医疗体制一
The severe imbalance between supply and demand deeply touched the conscience of a doctor, and as a result, his grand gestures have shocked the domestic and foreign medical community and the millions of lives that urgently need saving, and also shaken China's healthcare system to be reformed .
面对ー个个乞求的生命,他不知该把这张生死牌发给谁
贝多芬说:“我要扼住命运的咽喉,它绝不能使我完全屈服!噢,能把生命活上千百次该有多美!”
生命是美好的,但它属于人只有一次,任何人都扼不住命运的咽喉。
In the face of countless patients begging him to save their lives, he got lost. He don’t want to give up on any patient but he can’t save them all.
Beethoven once said: "I will take fate by the throat; it shall not wholly overcome me. Oh, it is so beautiful to live — to live a thousand times!"
Life is beautiful, but it belongs to a person only once, and no one can take fate by the throat.

1987年5月,春天带着不可抗拒的活力,从遥远的天际涌来,冲破坚硬的寒冷, 把鲜活的生命撒向枯黄的世界。饱尝了严冬的寒冷与沙尘的北京人,踏着春色,漫步在华灯初放的长安街上,欣赏着绚丽多姿的夜景,享受着春天的馈赠。但在全国唯ーー家心血管病专科医院一北京阜外医院ー间门诊室里,却上演着司空见惯而又令人痛心的一幕。一位中等身材、精明干练、两眼蓄满善良与睿智的中年医生,被一群走投无路的心脏病患者及家属团团围住,一直下不了班。他就是两年前从澳大利亚留学归来、38岁的主治医师刘晓程。
In May 1987, spring came with irresistible vitality from the distant horizon, breaking through the hard cold and bringing vivid life into the dead yellow land. After experiencing the cold of the severe winter and sandstorms in Beijing, people went out and strolled along Chang'an Avenue in the springtime to admire the beautiful and colorful night scene, and enjoy the gifts from spring. However, in the outpatient clinic of the only specialized cardiovascular hospital in China, Fuwai Hospital, a common yet heartbreaking scene is unfolding. A middle-aged doctor of average build, astute and capable, with eyes full of kindness and wisdom, is surrounded by a group of desperate heart disease patients and their family members, unable to leave work. He is Dr. Liu Xiaocheng, a 38-year-old attending physician who just returned two years ago after finishing his overseas study in Australia.

“刘大夫,听说你是佳木斯人,俺是鹤岗煤矿的,咱们是老乡呢。”ー个又黑又瘦的下井汉子怀抱3岁的孩子,操着山东口音,跟刘晓程一个劲儿地套着近乎,“刘大夫,求你看在老乡的面上救救俺老婆,俺们再也等不起了。她都快不行了！刘大夫……”汉子说不下去了,低头呜咽起来。他身边瘦弱的女人用胳膊肘碰碰他,嗫嚅道:“要不俺不治了,俺回家。”却遭到汉子的一声呵斥:“你不治就得死！你死了俺的两个娃咋办?呜呜……”下井汉子挖煤塌方被砸断一条腿都不曾掉过泪,现在却被老婆的病急得放声大哭。他ー哭,女人和孩子也跟着哭起来。
"Dr. Liu, I heard you're from Jiamusi. I'm from the Hegang . We're fellow townspeople," said a thin, dark-skinned man holding his 3-year-old child and speaking in a Shandong accent, as he was buttering up Liu Xiaocheng, "Dr. Liu, please save my wife given that we’re from the same town. We can't wait any longer. She's dying ! Dr. Liu, please..." The man suddenly stopped and lowered his head, crying. Beside him, his frail wife nudged him with her elbow and said in a weak voice, "Why not we just giving up treating and go home?" But she was met with a rebuke from the man, "If you die, what will happen to our two children? " The coal miner had never shed a tear even when his leg was broken in a coal mining accident, but now he cried out loud because of his wife’s illness. As he cried, his wife and child also began to cry.

刘晓程刚想安慰那汉子几句,却被ー个穿着破旧、满脸沧桑的中年农民打断了。
“刘大夫,俺把房子都卖了,还借了一万多元钱。俺爷儿俩从黑龙江跑北京两趟了,这次再手术不上,俺们全家就活不下去了！求你看在家乡人的面上救救俺儿子吧,他オ14岁。俺爷儿俩给你下跪了！”
Liu Xiaocheng had just wanted to comfort the man, but was interrupted by a middle-aged farmer in shabby clothes and with a weathered face "Doctor Liu, I've sold my house and borrowed over ten thousand yuan. We have traveled to Beijing twice from Heilongjiang. If my son don't have the surgery this time, our whole family weren’t going to live ! Please, for the sake of our hometown, save my 14-year-old son. My son and I fall on our knees to beg you!"
“别别！千万别……”刘晓程急忙上前制止,但晚了,一老ー小“扑通”一声跪在了他面前。
瘦得像铅笔杆似的少年瞪着满含泪水的大眼睛,可怜兮兮地望着刘晓程。父亲却发出ー阵令人心碎的哭号:“刘大夫,求你救救俺儿子吧！救救俺全家吧！呜呜……"
"No,no! Please don't..." Liu Xiaocheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but it was too late. The farmer and his son fell on their knees in front of him. The skinny teenager, stared at Liu Xiaocheng with tearful eyes, looking pitiful. The wails of the father was heartbreaking, "Dr. Liu, please save my son! Save my whole family! Please..."

望着这对父子,望着这ー张张求生的面孔,刘晓程的眼睛湿润了,ー种深深的疚痛与同情,紧紧地攫住了他那颗虽然每天被病人揉搓却依然慈悲的心。他知道, 这些普通老百姓本来就很穷,偏偏又患上这样那样的心脏病。
As Liu Xiaocheng looked at the father and son, and the desperate expressions on the patients, his eyes became moist with a deep sense of guilt and sympathy. He tightly grasped his still compassionate heart, which was rubbed and massaged by patients every day. He knew that these ordinary people were already very poor, and yet they were afflicted with various heart diseases.
他们卖房卖地拖儿带女,千里迢迢地跑到北京,整夜整夜地排队挂号,把全部希望寄托在医生身上,但他却令他们大失所望。他们苦苦地哀求他,给他下跪,不为别的,只为ー张小小的八院单张求生的“通行证”。
They sold their house and land and brought their children to Beijing, queuing up all night long for a doctor's appointment and placing all their hopes on the doctors. However, he disappointed them greatly. They begged him desperately, even kneeling before him, not for anything else, but for a small permit for their son, Zhang Xiaoxiao, to receive medical treatment.

他何尝不想大笔ー挥,给每人开ー张入院单, 让他们痛痛快快地接受手术,痛痛快快地活下去?可他每天只能开ー张入院单,一个月只有30张的权力。一下午就要接待五六十个患者,许多病人都需要手术,他真不知该把这张“生死牌”发给谁。30多年的坎坷生涯从没有难倒过他,可是面对一群向他哭诉的家乡父老,他却难过得不止一次地掉下泪来。他觉得自己有愧于做一名医生。
He also wished to help all the patients get hospitalized and operated so that they can live longer. However, in fact he can only get one patient hospitalized each day and and thirty per month. For just one afternoon, he has to receive fifty or sixty patients, and many of them need surgery. He doesn't know to whom he should give this "life and death card". All those hardships throughout his 30-year medical career has not beaten him, but facing a group of folks from his hometown crying before him, he has shed tears more than once. He felt he didn’t deserve to be a doctor.
这时,药剂科的丁飞主任手拿ー包方便面走进来,进门就嗔怪他:“刘大夫,都10点钟了,快吃点方便面吧!你天天这么折腾,早晚会被折腾死的!”丁主任看到刘晓程天天被患者“糊”得可怜,心疼得几次落下泪来。
At this moment, Ding Fei,the Director of the Pharmacy Department walked in with a pack of instant noodles in hand and said "Doctor Liu, it's already 10 o'clock. Eat some instant noodles to fill your stomach! You're always working so hard every day. You'll be worked to death sooner or later!" Director Ding saw how Liu Xiaocheng was constantly being overwhelmed by patients, and felt so sorry for him that he cried several times.
可是,面对一群看病比登天都难的父老乡亲,面对ー个个本应该尽快手术的心脏病人,刘晓程却无论如何也不忍心离开。令他终生难忘的是那位27岁的姑娘。此刻,她就像死人似的,瞪着一双美丽而无神的大眼睛,凄婉地望着他。
However, facing a group of fellow villagers who had difficulty seeing a doctor , and numerous heart disease patients who should have received surgery as soon as possible, Liu Xiaocheng couldn't bear to leave. Among them, there was a 27-year-old girl who he would never forget . She looked like a dead person, staring at Liu mournfully with a pair of beautiful but dull eyes.
“你为什么不早点来?”刘晓程问她。
"Why didn't you come here earlier?" Liu Xiaocheng asked her.
姑娘的眼泪卿地掉下来了,忙从衣兜里哆哆嗦嗦掏出ー张已经发黄的入院通知单,双手像捧着命根子似的,小心翼翼地捧到刘晓程面前,啜泣道:“我8年前就来了,开了入院单没有床位,大夫让我回家等通知,可我等了 8年也没等到通知,实在等不了啦!”
The girl's tears fell uncontrollably, and she hurriedly took out a yellowing hospitalization admission slip from her pocket, holding it in her trembling hands as if clinging to her lifeline. She carefully handed it to Liu Xiaocheng, sobbing: "I came here 8 years ago, but there were no beds available after I got the hospitalization admission slip. The doctor asked me to wait for further notice at home. But 8 years passed, I still didn't receive any notification. I couldn't wait any longer!"
刘晓程的脑袋“轰”的一声,忙接过那张已经被8年时光磨损出几处破洞起了毛边的入院单,看到上面赫然写着“1979年4月23日”,心里不由得发出ー阵惊愤的慨叹:可悲呀! 8年,一个心脏病患者手拿入院单却没有等来住院通知! 一个严重的先天性心脏病患者怎么能等得了8年?人的一生又有几个大好的8年? 8年, ー个花样的少女变成了27岁的大姑娘,而ー颗破碎的心却因漫长的8年而失去了治疗机会。
Stunned, Liu hurriedly took the worn and frayed admission slip, the date of which read "April 23, 1979". Seeing this, he couldn't help but let out a sad but indignant sigh: how pitiful! How could a heart disease patient with a hospitalization admission slip still couldn’t get hospitalized even after 8 years of waiting ? How could a severe congenital heart disease patient wait for eight years? How many eight years does a person have in their life? In eight years, a beautiful young girl turned into a 27-year-old woman, but her broken heart lost the chance for treatment due to the long wait.

现在,她的心脏已经无法接受手术了,等待她的只能是死亡。可她完全可以不死,完全可以活好多年,完全可以结婚生子,过正常人的生活,可这一切,就因为8年的耽搁而变得永远不可能了。
Now, her heart cannot undergo surgery anymore, and the only thing awaited her is death. But she could have lived , could have had many more years, could have married and had children, and lived a normal life as an average person. However, all of this has become forever impossible because of the eight years of waiting.
这位来自黑龙江农村的姑娘并不知道刘晓程的内心,而是可怜巴巴地乞求道: “求求您刘大夫,让我住院手术吧,我实在等不了啦。我不想死,我オ27岁,我已经
等了 8年啦!”
The girl from rural Heilongjiang didn't know Liu Xiaocheng's inner thoughts. She begged pitifully, "Please Dr. Liu, let me be hospitalized for surgery, I can't wait any longer. I don't want to die, I'm only 27 years old, and I've already waited for 8 years!"
面对这双对生命充满渴求的眼睛,面对足足等了8年却不得不提前告别人生的家乡姐妹,刘晓程无论如何也不忍心告诉她实情。他怎么能告诉她:“你不能手术了,你只能回家等死了。”他怎么能说出这种没有人味的绝情话?
Her eyes was filled with a strong desire for life. She had spent 8 years waiting for treatment but had to say goodbye to life ahead of time. Liu Xiaocheng couldn't bear to tell her the truth whatever. How could he tell her, "You can't have surgery, you can only go home and wait for death." He couldn’t say such heartless and inhumane words.
他想:如果这些病人是我的兄弟姐妹,是我的亲生父母,看着他们得的并非不治之症,只是因为住不上院而ー拖再拖,最后不得不提前告别人世,我该是怎样一番心境?该是何等痛苦?
He thought: If these patients were my siblings, my biological parents, they suffered from curable illnesses but couldn’t get hospitalized, and eventually have to say goodbye to this world prematurely due to years of waiting. what kind of emotions would I have? How painful would it be?
他心里忽然发出ー阵悲愤的质疑:为什么天远地远初次来就诊的病人就已经是手术禁忌证了?为什么还是手术适应证的病人又要争那张维系生命的小纸片?为什么得到了这张纸片的人还要继续等下去,甚至一直等到死?我这个医生再出这种门诊,再发这种毫无价值的纸片,还有什么意义?我到底是救死扶伤的医生,还是误人性命的“罪魁”?我是诚实善良的大夫,还是整天用谎言安抚病人及家属的“骗子”?
Suddenly, a surge of sorrow and indignation welled up in him,
prompting him to question: why patients who come here for the first visit from far away are already considered unsuitable for surgery? Why do patients who are suitable for surgery have to fight for that little piece of paper that holds their lifeline? And why did those who got that slip had to continue waiting, even until death? What is the point of me, as a doctor, making diagnosis and giving out these worthless slip? Am I really a doctor who saves lives, or am I the culprit who endangers lives? Am I an honest and kind-hearted doctor, or a fraud who constantly placates patients and their families with lies?
宁可再被毁灭一次,也要学习!
I would rather be destroyed again than to stop learning!
刘晓程出生于黑龙江省佳木斯市。父母都是1945年参加革命的医务工作者。母亲是妇产科医生,父亲是佳木斯医学院著名的外科主任刘沛。刘晓程是姊妹五个中唯一的男孩儿。
Liu Xiaocheng was born in Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province. Both his parents were medical workers who participated in the revolution in 1945. His mother was an obstetrician and his father was Liu Pei, a famous chief of surgery of the Jiamusi Medical College(the precursor of the department of medicine of Jiamusi University) . Among his five siblings, Liu Xiaocheng was the only boy.
1968年,刘晓程下乡到宝清县生产建设兵团。艰苦、压抑的“知青”生活,过分的体力透支,使他得了肺结核,每天咳嗽,低烧不止。下乡的第四个年头,他提前返城了。
In 1968, Liu Xiaocheng was sent to Baqing County Production and Construction Corps as the sent-down, or "educated" youth (also known as the zhiqing). The life there was hard and oppressive. Overworked and exhausted, he suffered from tuberculosis, coughing and having a low-grade fever every day. In the fourth year of his time there, he returned to the city ahead of schedule.
不久,被打成“反动学术权威”的父亲落实政策,刘晓程获得了一个工作指标, 面临当工人和实验员的选择,犹豫再三,他走进了令人谈虎色变的“臭老九”行列, 成为佳木斯医学院生理教研室一名实验员。并非子承父业,他不想当医生,他也不喜欢整天跟生理不健全的人打交道。他从小最崇拜爱因斯坦和爱迪生。但正像马克思所说:当年轻人选择职业时,社会早已经为他决定好了。
Soon after, his father, who was labeled as“the reactionary (bourgeois) academic authority” had policies implemented against him. Liu Xiaocheng was offered a job, facing a choice between becoming a worker or a laboratory assistant. After much hesitation, he chose to be a laboratory assistant in the Physiology Department of Jiamusi Medical College, entering this unpopular career. Despite both both his parents were medical professionals, he did not want to become a doctor, nor did he like dealing with people who were physically ill. From an early age, he admired Einstein and Edison most. But, as Marx said, “But we cannot always attain the position to which we believe we are called; our relations in society have to some extent already begun to be established before we are in a position to determine them.”

实验员,就是洗刷各种试管和器皿,把兔子、青蛙、老鼠准备好,供大学生实验时使用。但工作之余可以旁听老师的讲课,这是刘晓程选择当实验员的真正原因。一位在“文革”中也被打成“反动学术权威”的老医生气得骂他:“你还要念书?吃ー百个豆还不知豆腥气?”
The work of a so-called a laboratory assistant was to washed various test tubes and vessels, prepared rabbits, frogs, and mice for students to use in experiments. But, in spare time, he was allowed to attend lectures given by professors, which was the real reason why Liu Xiaocheng chose to be a laboratory assistant. A senior doctor who was also labeled as“the reactionary (bourgeois) academic authority” during the Cultural Revolution once scolded him: "You still want to study?
但对刘晓程来说,求知成了他最需要的精神食粮。他宁可因求知而再次遭到毁灭,也不愿浑浑噩噩地混下去了。他不相信中国会永远像现在这样知识无用。没有知识,ー个国家靠什么发展? 一个民族靠什么前进?
But for Liu Xiaocheng, seeking knowledge became his most necessary spiritual nourishment. He would rather be destroyed again for seeking knowledge than continue to live a meaningless life. He did not believe that China would always be a place where knowledge was useless. Without knowledge, how could a country develop? What would a nation rely on to move forward?
他ー边工作,ー边玩命地学习。初、高中学的是俄语,改学英语必须从ABC学起,晚间说梦话都叽里咕噜地背着英语单词。一年后,就是张铁生高考交白卷1973年,医学院基础研究所以满票通过,推荐他走进了哈尔滨医科大学,成为一名 24岁的“工农兵”大学生。
While working, he studied with all his might. He learned Russian in junior and senior high school, but had to start from ABC when he changed to learning English. He even muttered English words in his sleep. One year later, in 1973, the year when Zhang Tiesheng left his college entrance exam paper blank, The Institute of Basic Medical Sciences (IBMS) of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) passed unanimously to recommend Liu Xiaocheng to Harbin Medical University. Since then, Liu became a 24-year-old “Worker-Peasant-Soldier students”.
当他满怀鸿鹄之志跨进校门准备苦读时,却发现梦寐以求的大学校园,到处充斥着声嘶力竭的政治口号,以及越来越离奇的“教育革命”，偌大的校园竟然放不下ー张平静的课桌。
When he entered the university with great ambitions to study hard, he found that the university campus that he had dreamed about was filled with political slogans and increasingly bizarre "education revolutions". and he couldn’t find anywhere peaceful to study.
1979年,“十年浩劫”结束后,刘晓程决定报考研究生。当他一切准备就绪,手拿《招生简章》准备填写志愿的那天夜里,父亲突患脑血栓住进医院。紧接着,结婚不久的妻子又因妊娠中毒症,怀孕七个月的第一个孩子流产了。
In 1979, after the The Cultural Revolution ended, Liu Xiaocheng decided to apply for graduate school. Everything was prepared,however, on the night he was ready to fill out his application form. His father suddenly suffered cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) and was hospitalized. Shortly after, his newly married wife, who was seven months pregnant, suffered from gestosis and miscarried. And that was his first child.
沉重的打击接踵而至,ー边是需要呵护的亲人,ー边是大学学府强烈的呼唤, 面对人生的最后一次抉择,他ー连数天彻夜无眠。
Heavy blows came one after another. On the one hand, there were his loved ones who needed care, and on the other hand, there was the graduate school which he desired for. Faced with the last choice of his life, he stayed up all night for days...
“生老病死是人生规律,你不要管我,今年你一定要考!为了学本事干事业,你能考到伦敦、纽约オ好呢。那オ是你对父母的最大孝敬!”父亲对守候在病榻前的儿子语重心长地说。
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the laws of life. Don't worry about me. You must take the post-graduate entrance examination this year! It’s even better if you can make to London and New York for further study . That's the best present for us!" Liu’s father said to him, who was waiting by his sickbed, with a solemn tone.
“你去考吧,我们以后还会有孩子的,别惦着我。二位老人我会尽力照顾的。” 从小同窗、一向贤惠善良的妻子洪依舒也一再鼓励他。
"You should take the exam. We will have kids in the future, so don't worry about me. I will take care of your parents." His wife,Hong Yishu, repeatedly encouraged him. They had been his classmate since childhood. She was always that kind and virtuous.
刘晓程含着泪,在研究生志愿栏里一连写下三个志愿:第一志愿,北京中国医学科学院心血管病研究所阜外医院;第二志愿,阜外医院;第三志愿还是阜外医院! 阜外医院是中国心血管病研究和治疗的最高权威机构,他立志要成为一名优秀的心血管外科医生。
With tearful eyes, Liu Xiaocheng wrote down three choices\universities in the postgraduate admission\application form: The first choice was Fuwai Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS); the second and third choices were also Fuwai Hospital. Fu Wai Hospital is first-class hospital specializing in cardiovascular diseases in China for cardiovascular disease research and treatment. He aspires to become an outstanding cardiovascular surgeon.
1979年秋,30岁的刘晓程以骄人的成绩,考进了中国医学科学院心血管研究所阜外医院,成为一名心血管外科研究生。他发誓:一定要无愧于阜外医院和导师的录取,无愧于父母和妻子的支持,更无愧于自己的选择！
In the autumn of 1979, 30-year-old Liu Xiaocheng ,with outstanding results in the exam, was admitted by Fuwai Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS), a cardiovascular research institute, and became a graduate student in cardiovascular surgery. He vowed to live up to the expectations of Fuwai Hospital , his mentor, his parents, wife, and himself.
许多研究生同窗跟刘晓程一样,都经历过蹉駝岁月,都格外珍惜这来之不易的求学机会。刘晓程更是怀着强烈的求知欲,在广博的医学海洋里没日没夜地搏击, 连吃饭和睡觉都变成多余的了,只有学习オ是生命中最需要的。听英语录音,ー听就到凌晨4点;上课的路上,要背会30多个英语单词……他决心把空耗的时光夺回来。
Many of Liu Xiaocheng's fellow graduate students have also experienced difficult times and cherish their hard-won learning opportunities. Liu Xiaocheng, in particular, was driven by a strong thirst for knowledge and tirelessly immersed himself in the vast ocean of knowledge of medicine day and night, to the extent that eating and sleeping became unnecessary, with learning being the most essential part of his life. He would listen to English recordings until 4 a.m., and memorize more than 30 English words on his way to class... He was determined to reclaim the wasted time.
3年后,刘晓程以出色的成绩完成学业,并留在阜外医院工作。1984年,阜外
医院又破例提前送他去澳大利亚留学深造
Three years later, Liu Xiaocheng completed his studies with outstanding results and was offered a job at the Fuwai Hospital. In 1984, Fuwai Hospital made an exception, sending him to Australia for further education.

你是人,我也是人,凭什么不如你?
We are both human. Why should you be any better than me?
美国前总统卡特说:“我们不可能人人都像牛顿、法拉第或爱迪生那样有伟大的发现,也不可能像米开朗琪罗或拉斐尔那样有传世之作,但我们可以抓住平凡的机会并使之不平凡,进而使我们的人生变得更加壮丽。”
澳大利亚很美,碧水,蓝天,风光旖旎〇
Former US President Jimmy Carter once said, "We cannot all make great discoveries like Newton, Faraday, or Edison, nor can we create enduring masterpieces like Michelangelo or Raphael. But we can seize ordinary opportunities and make them extraordinary, thus making our lives more magnificent."
Australia is very beautiful, with blue water, blue sky, and picturesque scenery.
但是,第一次踏上澳洲的刘晓程却无暇光顾这一切,第二天就走上了手术台, 面临两台大手术,而且要给主刀医生当第一助手。
However, Liu Xiaocheng, who set foot in Australia for the first time, had no time to enjoy all of this. The next day, he went straight to the operating room. He had two major surgeries and had to serve as the first assistant to the chief surgeon.
第一次走进布里斯班市查理王子医院心血管外科手术室,一切都是陌生的,金发碧眼的医护人员,令人眼花缭乱的各种器械,几位主刀医生各自不同的操作方式,叽里哇啦一句都听不懂的俚语、方言……更糟糕的是,他就像从慢悠悠的牛车上卸下来的一枚螺丝,忽然被拧到ー台高速运转的机器上,ー上来就得适应人家那种快节奏、高效率的工作方式,丝毫不存在你是新来乍到给点时间让你适应ー说。而且主刀医生盛气凌人,开ロ就训人:“拿骨子!不不!不是剪刀,是骨子!你懂不懂英语?不懂回去学会再来!”
Entering the cardiovascular operating room of The Prince Charles Hospital（TPCH) in Brisbane for the first time, everything was unfamiliar to Liu Xiaocheng. The blonde and blue-eyed medical staff, dazzling array of medical instruments, different operating styles of the chief surgeons, slangs and dialects that he couldn't understand at all... To make things worse, he felt like a screw taken off a slow-moving cart and was suddenly twisted onto a high-speed machine. He had to adapt to their fast-paced and efficient way of working even without any time to adjust as a new arrivals. Moreover, the chief surgeon was domineering, scolding Liu , "Hand me the bone nipper! No, not scissors, bone nipper! Do you understand English? If not, go back when you have mastered it!"
嗨,那场面别提有多狼狈了,当场他就出现了“文化休克”,也就是老百姓所说的傻眼了,听不懂人家说什么,当然不知道该做什么。按照手术惯例,主刀医生给病人开完胸,建立起体外循环,助手就该从患者腿上取完大隐静脉,递给主刀医生做搭桥术了。可他没有取完静脉,主刀医生立刻嗔怪起来:“太慢了！简直太慢了！”这使刘晓程越发手忙脚乱,大汗淋漓,不知所措了。
Not to mention how embarrassing the scene was. At that moment, Liu Xiaocheng experienced a "culture shock," which is what people call being stunned. He couldn't understand what others were saying, so he didn't know what to do. According to the surgical protocol, after the lead surgeon opens the patient's chest and establishes extracorporeal circulation, the assistant should take the great saphenous vein(GSV)from the patient's leg and hand it to the lead surgeon for Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, he didn't finish taking the vein as expected , and the lead surgeon immediately scolded him, "Too slow! It's just too slow!" This made Liu Xiaocheng even more flustered, sweating profusely and feeling helpless.
主刀的奥布来恩博士是世界著名的心外科专家,刘晓程只是一名中国留学生, 遭训斥是在所难免的。可是,对于自尊心极强的刘晓程来说,却像童年唯ーー次挨父亲的皮带ー样。父亲的皮带是抽在他的屁股上,而这次却是抽在他脸上,抽在ー个中国人的自尊心上。他发誓:“我就不信你们能做到的我做不到！你是人,我也是人,我凭什么不如你?我一定要把你们的技术学到手,绝不能给中国人丢脸!”
The lead surgeon, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien, was a world-renowned cardiothoracic surgery expert , while Liu Xiaocheng was just a Chinese student studying abroad. It was inevitable that he would be scolded. However, for a proud person like Liu Xiaocheng, it was like being hit by his father with a belt when he was a child. However, his father only hit his buttocks, but this time he felt himself got hit in the face and his self-esteem as a Chinese people suffered. He swore, "I don't believe that I can't do what you can do! You're a human being.So am I. Why couldn’t I be as good as you? I must learn your techniques and I would never disgrace our Chinese people!"
下了手术台,他急忙把主刀医生的操作程序全部记录下来,把剩下的静脉搜集起来,从护士长那借来手术器械,回到宿舍苦练搭桥术,设计出各种高难度的吻合方法,边缝边做思索,边画图……几个月下来,他不仅把四位医生不同的操作方式背得滚瓜烂熟,而且对四位医生的手术方案取长补短,形成一套自己的独特手术方法。
After getting off the operating table, he hurriedly recorded all of the surgeon's procedures, collected the remaining veins, borrowed surgical instruments from the head nurse, and returned to his dormitory to practice Coronary artery bypass grafting. He had designed various high-difficulty methods of Anastomosis. He would think and draw diagrams as sewing. After several months, he not only memorized the different surgical techniques of the four doctors, but also integrated their strengths and weaknesses to form his own unique surgical method.
白天,他要给四位导师当第一助手,常常忙得连杯咖啡都顾不上喝。一台手术下来,导师去喝咖啡,他却忙着写手术记录,填卡片,下术后医嘱,看下一台手术造影片子,没等做完,下一台手术护士又在叫他:“刘医生,手术开始了!”他ー天最多跟过五台大手术,从早8点一直忙到晚9点,回到宿舍累得连眼皮都抬不起来了。
在一次主动脉瘤的手术中,患者突然大出血,奥布来恩博士竟然无端地冲刘晓程发起火来:“谁让你把着的（指血管）？”
During the day, he served as the first assistant to the four mentors, often too busy to even have a cup of coffee. After one surgery, the mentor would go for coffee, but he would be busy writing surgical records, filling out cards, giving post-operative instructions, examining the next surgery's films, and before he was done, the nurse for the next surgery would already be calling him: "Doctor Liu, the surgery has started!" He had followed at most five major surgeries in a day, working from 8 am to 9 pm, often too exhausted to even lift his eyelids when returning to the dormitory.
In one surgery for an aortic aneurysm, the patient suddenly experienced massive bleeding, and Dr. Mark F. O'Brien inexplicably began to blame Liu Xiaocheng, saying, "Who told you to hold onto the blood vessel?"
“你让我把着的!”刘晓程早已受够了导师的傲慢与训斥,破天荒地顶了他ー句,心里却愤愤地说,“你牛什么牛?不就是你们国家比我们国家富点儿吗,有什么了不起的！我们国家早晚会富起来的,早晚有超过你们的那天！你说你是虔诚的天主教徒,还说大家在上帝面前都是兄弟姐妹,其实你根本看不起我！我告诉你, 我跟你ー样是人,不是一条狗。你别张口就来训斥我！我一定要教训教训你,导师也应该学会尊重人。今后,绝不许你再侮辱我的人格!”
"You let go of me!" Liu Xiaocheng talked back. He was already fed up with his supervisor's arrogance and reprimands. He thought to himself indignantly, "What's the big deal? Isn't it just that your country is a little richer than ours? Our country will become wealthy sooner or later, and we will eventually surpass you! You say you're a devout Catholic and that we're all brothers and sisters in God's eyes, but actually you look down on me! I'm telling you, I'm just like you, a human being, not a dog. So stop scolding me ! I'm going to teach you a lesson that you, as a supervisor, should learn to respect people. From now on, you are not allowed to insult my dignity again!"
血止住了,奥布来恩主动向刘晓程搭讪,刘晓程却不理睬他。
第二天上班,奥布来恩又主动跟刘晓程打招呼,刘晓程装作没听见。
The bleeding stopped and Dr. Mark F. O'Brien took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Liu Xiaocheng, but Liu Xiaocheng ignored him. The next day at work,Dr. Mark F. O'Brien greeted Liu Xiaocheng again, but Liu Xiaocheng pretended not to hear him.
奥布来恩是个虔诚的天主教徒,在权威与人格、傲慢与尊严的较量中,他心理开始失衡了,开口向刘晓程道歉:“对不起,晓程,昨天是我的错,我向你道歉。”接着又说:“晓程,今天你来主刀,我来给你当助手!”
刘晓程不敢相信自己的耳朵,因为澳大利亚的法律严格规定,外国医生只能当助手,不能主刀手术。
“我让你做的,一切后果由我承担。”奥布来恩说。
Dr. Mark F. O'Brien was a devout Catholic, but in the struggle between authority and personality, arrogance and dignity, he began to feel guilty. He apologized to Liu Xiaocheng, saying, "I'm sorry, Xiaocheng. It was my fault yesterday, and I apologize to you." Then he added, "Xiaocheng, you come to perform the operation today, and I'll be your assistant!"
Liu Xiaocheng couldn't believe what he had just heard because Australian law strictly prohibits foreign doctors from performing operations as the lead surgeon.
"I'll take responsibility for everything you do," Dr. Mark F. O'Brien said.
于是,就在这所世界著名的澳大利亚查理王子医院手术室里,中国医生第一次走到主刀位置,第一次打破澳大利亚严格而冷酷的法律,划开了洋人的胸膛……当刘晓程以熟练的技法,稳健而准确、轻快而严密地做完心脏搭桥术,在场所有的人都惊呆了。奥布来恩绝没有想到这个多次被自己训斥的中国留学生,竟然有这样一手好功夫。
So, for the first time in the operating room of a world-famous hospital-- The Prince Charles Hospital in Australia,, a Chinese doctor took the position of the lead surgeon, breaking the stern , rigid and unrelenting Australian law, and cut open the chest of a westerner... When Liu Xiaocheng completed Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a skillful, steady, accurate but easy way, everyone present was amazed. Dr. Mark F. O'Brien never expected that this Chinese student, who had been reprimanded by him many times, had such good surgical skills.
当晚,奥布来恩请刘晓程共进晚餐。两人从此成为要好的朋友。
“晓程,你是我见过的最有骨气、最优秀的中国人。”奥布来恩向刘晓程举起酒杯,“我相信你会成为世界一流的心外科专家。”
“你也是我见过的最优秀的心外科专家,最令人敬佩的导师!”刘晓程说道。
奥布来恩虽然傲慢,却丝毫不讲师道尊严。
That night,Dr. Mark F. O'Brien invited Liu Xiaocheng to dinner. From then on, the two became close friends.
"Xiaocheng, you are the most outstanding Chinese person with great guts I’ve ever met," Aubrey raised his glass to Liu Xiaocheng. "I believe you will become a world-class cardiothoracic surgery expert."
"You are also the most excellent cardiothoracic surgery expert I have ever met, the most admirable mentor!" Liu Xiaocheng said.
Dr. Mark F. O'Brien was arrogant but not condescending.
一次,刘晓程发现奥布来恩没有切开极容易被忽略的薄内膜就要开始做血管吻合,就急忙提醒了他。奥布来恩连声道谢:“谢谢！太谢谢你了,晓程。我的疏忽险些危及患者的生命。”
Once, Liu Xiaocheng noticed that Dr. Mark F. O'Brien was about to start a vascular anastomosis without cutting the easily overlooked thin inner membrane, so he quickly reminded him. Dr. Mark F. O'Brien
thanked him, saying, "Thank you! Thank you so much, Xiaocheng. My negligence almost endangered the patient's life."
在这里,任何人的脸面都不重要,重要的是人的生命,是如何做好每一个手术细节,使手术最大限度地获得成功。几位导师还采纳了刘晓程提出的一些改良手术的建议,风趣地称它为“刘氏法”。导师们一切为了病人、ー丝不苟的治学精神, 使刘晓程受益匪浅,成为他ー生工作的典范。
Here, no one's face is important, what is more important is human life and how to have a good command of details in each surgery so as to maximize the success of the operation. Several mentors even adopted some of Liu Xiaocheng's suggestions for improving the surgery, humorously calling them the "Liu Methods." The mentors' rigorous academic spirit featured by putting patients first , has greatly benefited Liu Xiaocheng and set a paradigm for his lifelong work.
从此,奥布来恩不顾法律约束,不仅让刘晓程在洋人身上主刀,而且做ー些连澳大利亚本国高级医生都轮不到的高难手术。一年内,刘晓程参加了 600多例手术,主刀完成50多例,仅冠状动脉搭桥就做了二三十例,患者最高年龄83岁,无ー例死亡或发生并发症。
From then on, disregarding legal constraints, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien not only allowed Liu Xiaocheng to perform surgery on western patients, but also some high-risk surgeries that even senior Australian doctors had no access to. Within a year, Liu Xiaocheng participated in more than 600 surgeries, completing over 50 of them as the lead surgeon, including 20-30 cases of Coronary artery bypass grafting successfully with no deaths or complications,among which the oldest patients reached 83 years old.
刘晓程以其独特的人格魅力及高超的医术,终于赢得了同行们的爱戴与尊重。留学一年期限到了,奥布来恩主动带刘晓程去州卫生主管部门申请延期,让他再研修一年。
With his unique personality charm and superb medical skills, Liu Xiaocheng finally won the love and respect of his colleagues. When the one-year overseas study period came to an end, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien took the initiative to accompany Liu Xiaocheng to the state health department to apply for an extension, allowing him to continue his studies for another year.

1985年,国际心脏外科会议在澳大利亚召开,走上讲台,代表澳大利亚查理王子医院做学术报告的不是别人,正是我们优秀的刘晓程。他流利的英语、精湛的发言,令全场震惊,从而成为第一个享此殊荣的外国人。
In 1985, the XVIII World Congress of the International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery was held in Australia. It was our outstanding Liu Xiaocheng who represented The Prince Charles Hospital in Australia to give a academic report. He stunned the audience with his fluent English and excellent speech, becoming the first foreigner to receive this honor.
留学期限到了,奥布来恩让刘晓程把家属接来,一切手续由他办理。他说这里的条件比中国好得多,对刘晓程今后的发展大有益处。
When his duration of study abroad was coming to an end, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien offered to help Liu Xiaocheng bring his family over and prepare all the paperwork. He believed that the conditions in Australia were much better than in China and it would be of great benefits to Liu Xiaocheng.
在查理王子医院,一名普通医生的年收入高达几十万美元;而在阜外医院,一名主任医师的年收入也不过几千元人民币。而且,中国留学生陪读热方兴未艾,多少人都梦寐以求地想借此机会搭上出国的列车,从而开始另一番人生之旅。从阜外医院ー起来澳洲留学的医生已经把家属接来了,劝刘晓程也这样做。可是,刘晓程却忘不了童年时代,父亲多次给他讲的钱学森等科学家从美国归来报效国家的故事。他舍弃不掉对祖国、对家乡的那份刻骨铭心的眷恋。
At The Prince Charles Hospital, an ordinary doctor's annual income reached hundreds of thousands of dollars, while at Fuwai Hospital , a chief physician's annual income was only a few thousand yuan. In addition, the trend of accompanying study abroad among Chinese students was still popular, and many people dreamed of taking this opportunity to go abroad and embark on a new journey in life. Doctors who came to Australia from Fuwai Hospital together with Liu Xiaocheng had already brought their families over. They advised Liu Xiaocheng to do the same. However, Liu Xiaocheng could not forget the story his father told him so many times in his childhood about scientists such as Qian Xuesen who returned to China from the United States to serve the country. He couldn't abandon the deep affection he had for his country and hometown.
一次,他跟同事到澳大利亚花城土温巴山去旅游,看到山顶有ー只标着世界各国方位的坐标,就面向自己的祖国,迎着落日的余晖,唱起了思乡曲:“乡间小路,带我回家。那个地方,我永远属于她……”唱着唱着,一行思乡的泪不知不觉地流了下来。他知道,他的心永远属于那个虽然贫穷却不能忘怀的祖国,属于那个无论多么优越的条件都无法取代的母亲!
Once, he went on a trip to Toowoomba,the Garden City of Australia with his colleagues. On the mountaintop, he saw a coordinate marked with directions of various countries in the world. Then bathed in the sunset glow, he began singing a homesick song in the direction of his hometown: "The country road leads me home, the small town where I always belong to ..." As he sang, tears of homesickness flowed unconsciously down his face. He knew that his heart would always goes to his motherland, which, despite its poverty, he could never forget, and , which will never be replaced any other rich country.
“导师,中国的病人太多,太苦了,那里非常需要医生。如果我们学成了都留在
国外,那谁去解救他们呢?中国有句俗话,叫作’儿不嫌母丑,狗不嫌家贫’。这里的条件虽然优越,但并不需要我。我的祖国虽然很穷,但她需要我,我也需要她。” 刘晓程婉言谢绝了导师的挽留。
"Teacher, there are too many patients in China. They are suffering a lot. My country needs doctors desperately. If we all decide to stay abroad after finishing our studies, who will rescue them? There is a saying in China, 'Children will not detest their mother for being ugly, and dogs will not detest their owners for being poor.' The conditions here are superior and I am not that needed here. While my motherland is poor, she needs me, and I also need her." Liu Xiaocheng politely declined the teacher's retention.
奥布来恩听了很受感动,说:“我很理解你,也很赞成你的选择。回国以后有什么困难尽管告诉我,需要学什么欢迎你再来〇我的邀请永远对你有效〇”
Dr. Mark F. O'Brien was deeply moved by Liu Xiaocheng's words, saying "I understand you very well and totally agree with your decision. If you have any difficulties after returning home, please let me know.And if you need to learn anything, you are always welcome to come back."
随同刘晓程一起归来的,还有整整两箱子国内奇缺的体外循环插管和接头。在查理王子医院,刘晓程看到在国内奇缺的体外循环插管和接头,用过一次就丢进了垃圾袋,而在国内用过几百次都舍不得丢掉,就对同事们说:“我的国家还很穷, 可不可以请你们别丢掉这些东西,让我攒起来带回国去用?”同事们不但没有耻笑他,反而帮他将这些东西ー根根地收集起来,刷干净,消好毒,替他保存起来。
Together with Liu Xiaocheng, there were also two full boxes of extracorporeal circulation tubes and connectors that were in short supply in China. At The Prince Charles Hospital, Liu Xiaocheng saw that these items, which were in short supply in China , were were used once and then being discarded in a trash bag, but in China, they would be used hundreds of times before being thrown away. He said to his colleagues, "My country is still very poor. Can you please not throw away these items and let me take them back to my country to use?" His colleagues did not laugh at him, but instead helped him collect and clean every single item and keep them for him.
阜外医院麻醉科主任看到这两箱东西,高兴地喊起来:“噢,太好了。这可解决大问题了!”
When the head of anesthesiology at Fuwai Hospital saw these two boxes, he shouted with joy, "Oh, this is great! They’ll help a lot!"
“我的不幸的乡土哟,我恨你,我又不能不爱你!”
这是巴金老人多年前发出的感慨。
"Oh, my unfortunate hometown, I hate you, but I cannot help loving you!"
This was an expression of lament from the writer Ba Jin many years ago.
像许多海外归来的学子ー样,刘晓程怀着满腔热血扑向朝思暮想的祖国,扑向自己的事业。他的心就像喷薄欲出的太阳,充满了激情与渴望,渴望把自己所学的医术全部报效给祖国,报效给民众,拯救那些亟待手术的病人。
Like many overseas returnees, Liu Xiaocheng returned to his homeland with full passion and aspiration for his career. His heart was like a bursting sun, filled with passion and eagerness to use his medical skills to serve the country and the people, and to save those patients who were in urgent need of surgery.
可是,他很快就发现,面对阜外医院原先那种慢节奏、低效率的工作环境,就像当初到查理王子医院突然面临那种快节奏、高效率的环境ー样,他同样感到不适应了。他觉得自己就像ー颗日夜运转磨得程亮的螺丝,忽然被拧到ー辆慢悠悠的牛车上,无论怎样卖カ气都快不起来了。
However, he soon realized that he was not adapted to the slow-paced and inefficient working environment at Fuwai Hospital, just like when he first faced the fast-paced and high-efficiency environment at The Prince Charles Hospital. He felt like a screw that had been running and polished day and night, yet suddenly being put on a slow-moving cart, unable to speed up no matter how hard he tried.
他感到痛苦而茫然,一系列的问题常常叩击着他彻夜难眠的心:阜外医院每年仅能做1000例手术,排号却排到了 14000例。按照现有的速度,许多病人要等到 10年以后才能手术。全国需要手术的心脏病人有300多万,而全国每年仅能手术的不到1%。
He was in pain and confusion. Series of questions often haunted him in those sleepless nights. For example, although Fuwai Hospital could only perform 1,000 surgeries per year, there were already 14,000 patients on the waiting list. At the current rate, many patients would have to wait for 10 years before they could undergo surgery. There were more than 3 million heart diseases patients in need of surgery in the country, but less than 1% could undergo surgery each year.
那300多万患者不知等到猴年马月才能手术,而绝大多数病人一直等到死都上不了手术台。这种尖锐的供求矛盾何时才能解决?在澳大利亚,他一年可以做几百例手术。回到国内,他这位主管四个病区的主治医生一年只能做88 例。全院上自院长下至年轻医生,都想多干工作,多救病人,可都觉得有劲使不出来。这到底是为什么?
Those 3 million patients didn’t know how long they have to wait, yet most patients may never have a chance to get on the operating table in their lifetime. When would this sharp supply-demand contradiction be resolved? In Australia, he could perform hundreds of surgeries in a year, but as an attending in charge of four wards, he could only perform 88 surgeries per year. From the hospital president to the young doctors, everyone wanted to do more work and save more patients, but they all felt powerless. Why ?
1987年春节期间,阜外医院派刘晓程带队到黑龙江省牡丹江市开展心脏手术。他看到家乡十几万心血管病人处在投医无路、求治无门的水深火热之中,感到很痛心。一天,ー个农民带着患有严重先天性法乐式四联症心脏病的13岁男孩, 顶风冒雪找到刘晓程,说他带着儿子跑了好几家医院,都做不上手术,求刘晓程救救他儿子。
During the Spring Festival period in 1987, Fuwai Hospital sent Liu Xiaocheng to Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province to perform heart surgeries. He saw that more than 100,000 cardiovascular patients in his hometown were in desperate need of medical treatment but had no access to it. He felt very distressed. One day, a farmer brought his 13-year-old son with Tetralogy of Fallot(TOF) to Liu Xiaocheng during a heavy snowstorm, saying that he had taken his son to several hospitals but could not get him the surgery. He begged Liu Xiaocheng to save his son.
可是,刘晓程带队出来时阜外医院有指示:到条件差的地方开展心脏手术,不要做复杂的,以免发生意外。刘晓程留下父子俩的地址,劝父子俩先回去等候消息。父子俩一走,刘晓程立刻电话请示阜外医院的导师郭加强院长。郭院长问他有没有把握,他说:“虽然有风险,但我还是有把握的!”郭院长说:“那你就做吧,但一定要慎重,要预防术后并发症。”
However, when Liu Xiaocheng and his team left Fuwai Hospital, they were instructed not to perform complex surgeries in areas with poor conditions to avoid accidents. Liu Xiaocheng took down the father and son's address, and asked them to go back and wait for news. As soon as they left, Liu Xiaocheng immediately called the hospital's mentor, President Guo Jiaqiang, for permission. Guo asked him if he had confidence in that, and he answered, "Although there are risks, I am still quite confident!" Guo said, "Then you can do it, but you must be careful and prevent postoperative complications."
于是,刘晓程不顾外面风雪交加,乘着牡丹江励副市长的三菱吉普,立刻去追赶那对父子。吉普车在风雪弥漫的山路上颠簸了三四个小时,几次险些翻到沟里.
So, disregarding the harsh snowstorm outside, Liu Xiaocheng immediately went to chase the father and son, riding in the Mitsubishi jeep of Li, the vice mayor of Mudanjiang. The jeep bounced on the snowy mountain road for three to four hours, nearly flipping into the ditch several times.
晚间9点多钟,终于在距离小说《林海雪原》所描写的“座山雕”威虎厅不远的偏僻山沟里,找到了父子俩的家间东倒西歪、窗户上钉着塑料布、房顶压着厚厚积雪的破草房。屋里除了几张瘦骨嶙峋的脸,只有一盏如豆的油灯呼呼啦啦地摇曳。直到许多年后,刘晓程都忘不了这个“家”。
Finally, at over 9 o'clock in the evening, they found the father and son's home in a remote mountain valley not far from the Tiger Mountain described in the novel the Tracks in the Snowy Forest, The house was leaning and crooked, with plastic sheeting nailed to the windows and a thatched roof covered in thick snow. Except for a few emaciated faces, there was only a small oil lamp flickering in the room. Liu Xiaocheng still remembered this "home" for many years to come.
半夜12点,当父子俩乘火车,搭马车,艰难地跋涉了十几个小时,雪人似的回到家里时,眼前的情景就像ー盏灯,猛然照亮了爷儿俩几乎冻僵的心,也照亮了这个被世界遗忘的家庭。
At midnight, the father and son returned home like two snowmen after a grueling journey of over ten hours by train and horse-drawn carriage. The scene in front of them was like a lamp suddenly illuminating their almost frozen hearts and the forgotten family.

农民汉子一把抓住刘晓程的手,老泪纵横地哭喊道:“刘大夫,你是俺们全家的救命恩人哪!俺们做梦都没想到啊!”
The peasant man grabbed Liu Xiaocheng's hand, crying and exclaiming, "Doctor Liu, you are our family's savior! We’ve never even dreamed of this!"
这个五口之家本来就穷得叮当响,孩子有病更是雪上加霜,四处磕头作揖借了几千元钱,可都扔在铁道线上了,两次去北京手术都排不上号。农民汉子呼天不应,叫地不灵,几次想ー头撞死在北京大街上,可转而ー想,自己死了一家老小怎么办?现在,北京来的大夫却顶风冒雪找上门来了,来接儿子回去手术,天底下竟然有这么好的医生?!他不敢相信这是真的。
This family of five was already extremely poor, and the child's illness added insult to injury. They begged and bowed all around to borrow a few thousand yuan, but it was all spent on train tickets. They couldn't even get a surgical appointment during their two trips to Beijing. The peasant man was made desperate, even considering suicide on the streets of Beijing, but then he thought, "What would happen to my family if I died?" Now, a doctor from Beijing had braved the wind and snow to find them and take their son for surgery. Can there really be such a good doctor in the world? He couldn't believe it was true.
“刘大夫,你这北京来的专家,用市长的车来接俺儿去做手术,俺不是在做梦吧?”
“文化大革命”期间,刘晓程的父亲冒着坐牢的危险,顶着造反派的压カ,抢救过被医生放弃、濒临死亡的农村孩子。今天,刘晓程担着手术风险,在风雪弥漫的山路上跑了上百里路,为了找到ー个素不相识的农家孩子。因为他知道,在这极其偏僻、方圆几十里见不到人烟的山沟里,ー个患有严重先天性心脏病的孩子,如果不能尽快地接受根治手术,那将意味着什么。如果这次巡回医疗不能为孩子手术, 这孩子就不知会等到哪年哪月了。
During the "Cultural Revolution," Liu Xiaocheng's father ran the risk of being put to prison and withstood the pressure of being recognized as rebel groups to save a rural child who had been given up on by doctors and were on the verge of death. Today, Liu Xiaocheng himself took the risk of surgery and traveled hundreds of miles on snowy mountain roads to find a rural child he had never met before. He knew that in this extremely remote mountain valley and for a child with a serious congenital heart disease, if he could not receive curative surgery as soon as possible, what will that mean? If he could not get surgery during this mobile medical tour, it’s unknown when he would be able to receive treatment.
刘晓程连夜把父子俩接回医院,第二天就为孩子成功地做了手术。这次巡回医疗,他在牡丹江成功地做了 8台心脏手术。
Liu Xiaocheng brought the father and son back to the hospital overnight and successfully operated on the child the next day. During this mobile medical tour, he successfully performed eight heart surgeries in Mudanjiang.
巡回医疗很快就结束了,可是,黑龙江十几万心脏病同胞求医无门、备受煎熬的情景,却历历在目,一直蹂嘛着刘晓程的心。
The mobile medical tour soon ended, but the scene of tens of thousands of heart disease patients in Heilongjiang suffering and seeking medical help but failing was still vivid in Liu Xiaocheng's mind, breaking his heart.
回国两年,他的内心苦苦思索了两年,斗争了两年。
经过多少个不眠之夜的思考,这位海外归来的学子斗胆发出了天问:造成这种日益尖锐的供求矛盾的原因到底是什么?难道仅仅是因为我们穷吗?
After returning to his home country for two years, he struggled and pondered in numerous sleepless nights over the reasons behind the increasingly sharp supply and demand contradictions. He wondered if poverty was the only reason for it.
“不!我们不单单是经济和科技落后,还有封建思想残余及诸多因素造成的低效率和看不见摸不着却处处存在着的内耗!这种内耗大量地表现在扯皮、推诿,或有劲使不上的工作上。
"It's not just because we are economically and technologically behind, but also because of the remnants of feudal thinking and many other factors that lead to inefficiency and hazards that almost existed everywhere. This kind of hazards were often manifested in disputes, shirking responsibilities, or jobs where one cannot fully apply oneself.
在大城市科研单位里死争死挤,却难以发挥作用的人,何止ー二?有了技术人才,宁可自己封存不用,也不肯放走的大单位,何止ー二?教了三年打铁,临出徒オ放手让他打一把炉钩子的师傅,又何止ー二? 一代又一代,周而复始。可悲的传统观念,根深蒂固的封建思想残余……难啊,我们的知识分子真是太少又'太多’了！
There are countless people in scientific research units in big cities who were struggling in and unable to exert their abilities. There are also large nits that would rather keep technical talent in storage than let them go. Moreover, there are also masters who teach apprentices to forge iron for three years, but still cannot let them make a hook.
“谭嗣同为了唤起中华民族的觉醒,甘愿献出生命。他在断头台前从容地喊出了“死得其所,快哉快哉”的千古绝唱。谭嗣同大义凛然、视死如归的精神,令多少人感慨不已。
In order to awaken the Chinese nation, Tan Sitong was willing to sacrifice his life. Before the execution, he calmly shouted "To die for a just cause is a happy death." Tan Sitong's spirit of righteousness and fearlessness in the face of death left many people deeply moved.
资产阶级革命家为国为民尚有如此壮烈之举,我们20世纪的共产党人就不能牺牲点儿什么,来治治有目共睹的通病和顽症吗?”（这段激越之词,摘自 1993年刘晓程以全国优秀中青年干部身份,在人民大会堂向中直机关和科研院校代表做的报告《人生蹉註,丹心一片,为国为民,不虚此生》〇）
If a bourgeois revolutionary can make such a heroic sacrifice for his country and people, why can't we, as Communist Party members of the 20th century, sacrifice something to cure those common problems in our society? (This passionate speech was excerpted from Liu Xiaocheng's report "Life may be wasted, but with unwavering dedication, for the country and the people, this life is not in vain." , which he delivered in 1993 as an outstanding young cadre to representatives of Work Committee for Offices Directly under the CCCPC and scientific research institutes at the Great Hall of the People.
这番令有识之士感慨万千的肺腑之言,无疑是对中国医疗体制与传统观念的挑战。但是,他太渺小了,他仅仅是一名留学归来、满怀忧国忧民之心的医生。他所能左右的仅仅是他自己,而非ー个沉寂几十年、远远滞后于社会发展的国家医疗体制。于是,他向自己提出了一个天大的难题:我为什么不能回到家乡,为备受病痛折磨的父老乡亲建一所心血管病专科医院?
These heartfelt words that have moved many wise people undoubtedly challenge the traditional beliefs and healthcare system in China. However, Liu is too insignificant - he is just a doctor who returned from studying abroad and is deeply concerned about the country and its people. He could only control himself, rather than a healthcare system that had been stagnant for decades and lagged far behind the society's development. Therefore, he questioned himself: why can't he return to his hometown and build a specialized cardiovascular hospital for his folks who have been suffering from illness and pain?
于是,他做出了一个重大抉择:回家乡,为家乡父老做点儿カ所能及的事！可他觉得,这样做太对不住妻子和儿子了。他和妻子结婚八年分居了六年。现在,妻子刚从东北调到北京邮电医院,孩子被安排在师资雄厚的大木仓小学。阜外医院刚分给他两室ー厅的住房,一家三口终于在北京落户了,刚刚有了一个安稳的家。可现在,他却要亲手砸碎它……ー想到这些,ー种深深的自责便噬啮着他的心:我有什么权毁掉这一切?又有什么资格把他们母子再拖回到前途未卜的动荡之中?
So he made a major decision: to go back to his hometown and do what he could for his folks. But he felt that he was not being fair to his wife and son by doing so. They had been separated for six of the eight years they had been married. Now his wife had just been transferred from the Northeast China to Beijing Postal Hospital, and their son was enrolled in Damu Cang Elementary School with real qualified teachers. Fuwai Hospital had just assigned him a two-bedroom apartment, and the family had finally settled down in Beijing. But now he had to destroy it with his own hands... The thought of all this self-blame gnawed at his heart: what right did he have to ruin everything? And what qualifications did he have to drag his wife and son back into the uncertain and tumultuous future?
又是ー个无眠之夜。刘晓程在与妻子彻夜长谈 “看到家乡人倾家荡产地跑到北京来找我,看着他们走投无路、求医无门的样子,我常常觉得自己很无能。你想想,如果那些人是我们的父母,是我们的兄弟姐妹,眼看着他们排不上号,住不上院,病情一天比ー天严重,你说我们心里是什么滋味?”刘晓程长叹了一声,“唉,老百姓看病真难哪。尤其咱们黑龙江,天寒地冻,心脑血管的发病率均居全国之首……”
It was another sleepless night. Liu Xiaocheng had a long conversation with his wife, "Seeing people from my hometown come to Beijing, bankrupt and helpless and lacking access to medical treatment, I often feel powerless. Think about it, if those people were our parents, our brothers and sisters, seeing them unable to get medical treatment, unable to get hospitalized, and their condition worsening day by day, what would we feel?" Liu Xiaocheng let out a long sigh, “It's really difficult for ordinary people to get medical treatment. Especially in our freezing Heilongjiang province, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ranks first in the country..."
妻子洪依舒瞪着大眼睛幽幽地望着他,许久不说话。
His wife, Hong Yishu, stared at him with big eyes and didn't say a word for a long time.
她理解晓程内心的痛苦。她经常看见他夜里辗转反侧,唉声叹气。可是,看看这个来之不易的家,想想眼前这令多少人可望而不可即的一切,她实在不忍心丢下。可她太了解晓程的个性了,只要他认准的事,哪怕是刀山火海也毫不退却。“文革”期间大串联,一群学生豪言壮语要步行去北京见毛主席,坚持到最后的只有晓程和另一名男同学,一双脚都走烂了。
She understood the pain in Xiaocheng's heart. She often saw him toss and turn at night, sighing. But looking at this hard-won home and everything that is out of reach for so many people, she couldn't bear to leave. However, she knew Xiaocheng's personality too well. Once he decided on something, he never retreated, even when facing death. During the "Cultural Revolution", a group of students made a bold statement that they would walk to Beijing to see Chairman Mao, but in the end, only Xiaocheng and another male classmate persisted until their feet were worn out.
刘晓程见妻子久不言语,就说:“我知道你为我付出得太多了。这样吧,你和孩子留在北京,我ー个人回黑龙江。”
“别说了。”妻子打断了他,“从我的工作和孩子的教育考虑,我确实不想走,可我怎么能放心让你ー个人回去?我还是带着孩子跟你ー起走吧。”
“……”刘晓程一时语塞,一把搂过这位行动永远胜过语言的妻子,久久地拥在怀里。
Seeing his wife silent for so long, Xiaocheng said, "I know you have sacrificed too much for me. How about you and the child stay in Beijing, and I go back to Heilongjiang alone."

"Stop ," his wife interrupted him, "I really don't want to leave when considering my work and our child's education, but how can I let you go there alone? Let me and our child go with you."
"..." Liu Xiaocheng was speechless for a moment. He hugged his wife, whose actions always speak louder than words, and held her tightly for a long time.
为了慎重,刘晓程专程回佳木斯去征求父母的意见。
Being cautious, Liu Xiaocheng made a special trip back to Jiamusi to seek his parents' opinions.
父亲,他心中永远的太阳!
His father was the eternal sun in his heart!
克林顿曾说:“母亲告诉我永远不要放弃,不要屈服,不要停止微笑。无论发生多么可怕的事,第二天一早起床,母亲都会微笑着站在我面前,她从不把痛苦露给别人。”
Clinton once said, "My mother told me never to give up, never to surrender, and never to stop smiling. No matter how terrible things happened, my mother would wake up the next morning and stand in front of me with a smile on her face, never revealing her pain to others."
克林顿有一位伟大的母亲,刘晓程则有一位伟大的父亲。
Clinton had a great mother, and Liu Xiaocheng had a great father.
父亲刘沛是佳木斯医学院享誉四方的外科专家。他精湛的医术、高尚的医德, 不知恩泽过多少人。老人家过80大寿,佳木斯市委书记带着市委、市政府的“五大班子”去为老人祝寿。1988年,刘晓程和父亲同时享受首批国务院政府特殊津贴。
Liu Pei, Xiaocheng's father, was a renowned surgeon at Jiamusi Medical College. His superb medical skills and noble medical ethics have benefited countless people. When he turned 80, the Secretary of the CPC Jiamusi Municipal Committee led leaders from Jiamusi Party committee, Jiamusi Municipal People's Government, the Standing Committee of Jiamusi Municipal People's Congress, Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference of Jiamusi Municipal Committee, and military went to congratulate him. In 1988, Liu Xiaocheng and his father were both awarded the first batch of The special government allowance
父亲对晓程的管教很严。一次,父亲得知晓程从家里悄悄拿了两元钱买栗子吃,又对母亲说谎,第一次用皮带把晓程的屁股抽成了紫茄子。7岁的晓程却永远记住了父亲的教诲:“做人要诚实!不许说谎,说谎是万恶之源!”
Liu Xiaocheng’s father was very strict with him. Once, when his father found out that he had secretly taken two yuan from home to buy chestnuts and lied to his mother, he used a belt to whip Xiaocheng's butt until it turned purple. Xiaocheng, who was only seven years old at that time, would always remember his father's teachings: "Be honest! Don't lie. Lying is the root of all evil!"
在晓程的记忆里,父亲每天早晨5点就去病房查房,父亲常常蹲在厕所里观察病人的大便,以便做出准确的诊断。晓程不记得父亲让他给吃不上饭的病人送过多少次饺子,也不记得父亲掏钱给过多少贫病交加的病人,不知父亲从家里给病人偷偷拿过多少鸡蛋,更不记得多少病人感激涕零地跪倒在父亲面前,他只记得病人看到父亲眼里所流露出的目光---那种拜见上帝般的感激与崇敬。这给他幼小心灵打上了永不磨灭的烙印。
In Xiaocheng's memory, his father would do his rounds in the hospital at 5 am every morning. His father often squatted in the toilet to observe the patients' stools in order to make an accurate diagnosis. Xiaocheng didn’t remember how many times his father asked him to deliver dumplings to patients who couldn’t afford meals, or how many poor and sick patients his father gave money to. He didn't know how many eggs his father had secretly taken from home for the patients, and he didn't remember how many patients knelt down before his father in tears of gratitude. He only remembered the look in the patients' eyes when they saw his father--a kind of gratitude and reverence as if they were meeting God. This left an indelible mark on his young heart.
多年前,一位市委书记夫人乳房上长了一个良性肿瘤,要出省治疗,让父亲刘沛出诊断。父亲却说:“用不着出省,没必要花那份钱!”一句话把市委书记夫人顶了回去。
Many years ago, the wife of a municipal party secretary developed a benign tumor on her breast and wanted to go out of the province for treatment. She asked Liu Pei, father of Liu Xiaocheng for diagnosis and he suggested that it be unnecessary to go out of the province for treatment."
“文革”期间,ー个罕见的患先天性中肠旋转不全的农家孩子,被医生放弃治疗,家属被告知准备后事了。孩子父母抱着奄奄一息的孩子正悲恸欲绝,被打成 “日本特务”“反动学术权威”的父亲在清扫垃圾,急忙奔过来说:“千万不要放弃孩子,我能治!”
During the Cultural Revolution, a child from a rural family suffered from a rare disease Congenital intestinal malrotation and was abandoned by doctors. The child's parents were told to prepare for the worst . As they held their dying child in their arms, Liu Xiaocheng’s father, who had been labeled a "Japanese spy" and“the reactionary (bourgeois) academic authority ”, was cleaning up garbage. He rushed over ,saying "Don't give up on the child, I can treat him!"
造反派立刻质问他:“你敢承担这孩子手术的后果吗?”
父亲说:“一切后果由我来负!”
The Red Guards immediately questioned him, "Do you dare to bear the consequences of this child's surgery?"
The father replied, "I will bear all the consequences!"
这时,忽然响起一阵惊天动地的口号:“打倒日本特务刘沛!打倒反动学术权威刘沛!敌人不投降我们就叫他灭亡!”
Suddenly, a deafening chant rang out: "Down with Japanese spy Liu Pei! Down with reactionary academic authority Liu Pei! If the enemy doesn't surrender, we'll make them perish!"
就在一片“打倒”与“灭亡”的口号声中,身陷囹圄的父亲担着可能毁掉自己一生声誉,甚至可能因“陷害”革命群众而被判刑、被枪毙的风险,脱掉清扫服,匆匆走上了久违的手术台……孩子得救了,父亲又回到“牛棚”里继续清扫厕所。
Amidst the deafening chants of "down with" and "perish", Liu’s father, who was imprisoned, removed his cleaning clothes and quickly walked onto the long awaited surgical table, risking his lifelong reputation being destroyed and even facing the possibility of imprisonment or execution for "framing" the revolutionary masses. The child was saved, and the father returned to the "cowshed" to continue cleaning the toilets.
“名誉与生命相比,毕竟是微不足道的。在毁誉与病人的生命面前,必须勇敢地选择后者,这オ是ー个好医生。”这是父亲的人生信条,也是他对儿子的训诫。
"Compared with life, honor is insignificant. Between infamy and patient's lives, one must courageously choose the latter. That's what makes a good doctor" said the father. This is also his life creed and his admonition to his son.
父亲不媚上、不卑下,博爱济贫,珍爱他人生命的做人准则,成为刘晓程一生的楷模。“文革”期间,刚学会游泳的晓程不顾淹死的危险,跳进松花江救起一名遇险的教师。当了医生以后,他更是处处以父亲为楷模,以母亲的遗训为座右铭,严格自律。母亲73岁那年,因患严重风湿病连筷子都拿不住,却颤抖着双手为儿子留下一条遗训:“医乃仁术,好自为之。”这条遗训一直挂在晓程的办公室里。
The father was neither servile nor domineering , but he is kind, loving help the poor and seeing cherishing other people's lives as his creed, setting a role model for his son Liu Xiaocheng throughout his life. During the Cultural Revolution, Xiaocheng, who had just learned to swim, risked drowning and jumped into the Songhua River to save a teacher in distress. After becoming a doctor, he strictly disciplined himself with his father as his role model and his mother's teachings as his motto: "To be a doctor is to practice benevolence" This teachings has been hanging in Xiaocheng's office.
“风萧萧兮塞外寒,壮士一去兮不复还!”
"The wind howls in the cold of the frontier, the valiant warrior sets out and never returns!"
Hsiao-hsiao soughs the wind,oh- Cold the waters of the Yi.
The knight who leaves you now, oh-
You shall nevermore see.
父亲得知刘晓程决定回黑龙江创业,竟说出一番令晓程大为感动的话。
When Liu Xiaocheng decided to go back to Heilongjiang, his father said something that deeply moved him.
“当初我让你出去闯荡,是为了让你多学本领;现在我像当初一样支持你回来, 你应该把学的东西为家乡父老贡献出来。” 得到父亲的支持,刘晓程回黑龙江创业的决心越发坚定了。
"At first I let you go out to make a living, in order to let you learn more skills; Now, just like before, I support you to come back, hoping that you could contribute what you’ve learned to folks back home." With his father's support, Liu Xiaocheng's determination to return to Heilongjiang to restart his career became even stronger.
此刻,中国正处在“出国热”的大潮之中,多少海外学子都挖空心思留在美国、澳大利亚等发达国家。当然,他们的选择无可厚非,人各有志,中国封闭得太久了, 耽误得也太久了,人人都有选择人生道路的权利。但是,我们不能不为刘晓程逆潮流而动,选择艰苦人生的勇气而叫好,不能不对他“先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐”、以天下为己任的境界而肃然起敬。
At this moment, China was in the midst of a "going abroad boom". Most overseas students were doing everything they could to stay in developed countries like the United States and Australia. Of course, their choices were understandable - everyone had their own aspirations and the right to choose their own path in life. And China had been too closed off for so long that it was far behind the world. However, we cannot help but admire Liu Xiaocheng's courage to swim against the tide and choose a more difficult path in life. We should also respect his willingness to " be the first to worry about the nation's woes and the last to share in its prosperity." and to take on the responsibility of making the world a better place.
1987年5月13日深夜,刘晓程来到儿子床前,抚摸着熟睡中的儿子脸蛋,轻声道:“儿子,爸爸也许对不起你。爸爸没权利剥夺你现有的条件,等你长大以后也许会埋怨爸爸,到那时爸爸再向你解释吧。”
Late on the night of May 13, 1987, Liu Xiaocheng came to his son's bedside and gently touched his sleeping face. "Son, maybe I have let you down for not taking good care of you. I don't have the right to take away what you have now, and maybe you will resent me when you grow up. If that happens, I'll explain everything to you."
经过两年的痛苦挣扎,ー颗崇高的心灵终于得到了解脱。他的心境变得从未有过的旷达与坦然,就像暴风雨过后的大海,浩瀚而平静,又像鼓满风帆的航船,期待着新的远航。他开始伏案疾书,给院领导写《请调报告》
After two years of painful struggle, his noble spirit finally had been set free. His state of mind became magnanimous and serene, like the vast and calm sea after a storm, or a sailboat in full sails waiting for a new journey. He began to write a "Transfer Request Letter" to the head of the hospital.
这不是一份普通的《请调报告》,而是一次自我心灵的剖白,ー张人生价值的答卷,ー份向旧医疗体制宣战的檄文
This is not an ordinary "Transfer Request Letter", but a confession of one's heart, an answer sheet of one's life values, and a declaration of war against the old healthcare system.
“20岁时,我为‘人为什么活着’这个严肃的问题而苦恼过,求索过。在那个动荡的年代,我心中的希望之光泯灭过,我也曾颓废过,消沉过。但我终于自拔了,振作了,并在坎坷的道路上奋斗了 20年。
“When I was 20 years old, I struggled and searched for the serious question of 'why do people live.' In those turbulent times, the light of hope in my heart was once extinguished, and I was disillusioned and depressed. But I finally pulled myself out, picked myself up, and struggled for 20 years on a tough road.
而今,作为一名80年代的中年知识分子, 作为一名炎黄子孙,我又为‘怎样度过余生’这个严肃的问题,而苦苦思索,认真探求。经过人生的苦、辣、酸、甜,我真正地认识到,人为了自己活着,就会永远感到空虚和不满足,而为了人民去工作和奋斗,就会感到充实。这种思索与探求,使我的心灵得到净化,使我抛弃了小我,去追求人生的真谛。
“Now, as a middle-aged intellectual of the 80s, as a Chinese , I am again earnestly thinking and exploring the question of“how to spend the rest of my life”. Having been through the ups and downs of life, I truly realized that if a person lives for themselves, they will always feel empty and unsatisfied. While if they work and strive for the people, they will feel fulfilled. This kind of thinking and exploration has purified my soul, and made me abandon my selfishness to pursue the true meaning of life.
“到阜外医院8年,我由一名基层医院的普通医生,成长为一名心血管外科主治医生。回想8年来的一幕幕,我不禁心潮澎湃,思绪难平,对给予我一切的阜外医院和我的启蒙导师,心中充满了对亲生父母般的赤子之情,有着永远不能忘怀的感激与眷恋……
"During my eight years at Fuwai Hospital, I grew from an ordinary doctor to an attending in cardiovascular surgery. Looking back on the past 8 years, I can't help but feel overwhelmed with emotions and, and my heart is filled with gratitude and attachment to Fuxing Hospital and my mentor that gave me everything, like my own parents...
“我国现有300多万心脏病人等待着手术,而全国每年仅能完成几千例,存在着严重的供求矛盾。心血管疾病虽然不像霍乱、天花等烈性传染病那样被视为洪水猛兽,但却毫不留情地吞噬着千万人的生命。
"There are currently more than three million heart disease patients in China waiting for surgery, but only a few thousand operations can be completed each year, thus there is a serious contradiction between supply and demand. Although cardiovascular disease is not considered as deadly as cholera, smallpox and other acute contagious diseases, it ruthlessly devours the lives of millions of people.
我由衷地赞同、支持我院当前所搞的心血管外科临床协作和建立全国培训中心,但也清楚地看到,当前这种协作方式达到真正奏效的难处……我觉得,各地方搞心血管外科唯一有效的途径是建立心血管专科医院。像阜外医院、上海胸科医院等有实カ的大医疗中心,应向全国搞协作和培训,不应像蜻蜓点水,飞走后又是ー潭死水;而应像ー架播种机,到祖国的沃土上去播种……舍出几个卒子,甚至几员大将,必将走活ー盘死棋。
“I wholeheartedly support the clinical collaboration and establishment of a national training center in cardiovascular surgery that our hospital is currently working on, but I also clearly see the difficulties in achieving real effectiveness through this collaborative approach... I think that the only effective way for local areas to develop cardiovascular surgery is to establish specialized cardiovascular hospitals. Large medical centers , such as Fuwai Hospital and Shanghai Chest Hospital, should cooperate and train medical professionals nationwide, rather than just touching the surface. They should act like a sower, sowing on the fertile land of our country... Sacrificing a few soldiers, or even a few generals, will undoubtedly lead to a successful outcome in this difficult situation."
“黑龙江是我的故乡,那里因气候寒冷,经济文化落后,先后天心脏病的发病率都高于全国平均数,10万病人处在投医无路、求治无门之中。我决心抛弃北京优越的生活条件,离开培养我的阜外医院,为家乡水深火热中的父老兄弟筹建一座心血管病医院,为中国的心血管外科事业开辟一条新路。我深知,自己的精力有限, 时光有限,业务水平和行政能力也有限,也许今生今世难遂夙愿。但我情愿做铺路石,做人梯,让后人继续去开拓,去登攀。我的离去,对阜外医院的损失只是暂时的、局部的,却有可能改变家乡千万人的命运。我向领导正式提出,请把我当作第一粒种子播下去吧!”
“Heilongjiang province is my hometown. Due to its cold climate and underdeveloped economy and culture, the incidence of heart disease has been higher than the national average. 100,000 patients lacked access to medical treatment. I made the decision to leave behind the comfortable living conditions of Beijing and Fuwai Hospital that trained me, to build a cardiovascular hospital for my suffering folks and to open up a new path for China's cardiovascular surgery. I know my energy, time, expertise, and administrative abilities are limited, and my wish may never come true in this lifetime. However, I am willing to be the stepping stone for future generations. My departure may cause temporary and partial loss to Fuwai Hospital, but it is likely to change the fate of millions in my hometown. I formally request that leaders take me as the first seed and plant me in my hometown!"

10页报告,一蹴而就。
A 10-page report, all in one go.
他最后写道:“心底无私天地宽。站在人生的十字路口,我的心境从未像现在这样开朗,头脑从未像现在这样清晰,决心从未像现在这样坚定。风萧萧兮塞外寒,壮士一去兮不复还!”
In the end, he wrote, "With an unselfish heart, the world is vast. Standing at the crossroads of life, I have never been more open-minded, more clear-headed and more determined than I am now. The wind howls in the desolate north, and once a brave warrior departs, he never returns!" It was written with a touch of sorrow and desolation.
写得有几分悲壮,几分苍凉。
The writing has a touch of tragedy and desolation.
这份在阜外医院建院以来从未有过的《请调报告》,就像一枚炸弹,在医院里掀起一场轩然大波。人们猜测着刘晓程调离阜外的真正原因,是领导对他重视不够,还是家属安排不周?仔细ー想,阜外医院对他不错,送他出国留学;破格提拔他为四个病区的负责人;刚分给他两居室的住房;他妻子被调到邮电部医院……
This "Transfer Request Letter" that had never happened since the establishment of Fuwai Hospital was like a bomb, causing a huge wave in the hospital. People speculated about the real reason for Liu Xiaocheng's transfer away from Fuwai. Was it because the leaders hadn't valued him enough or because of the inconsiderate arrangements for his family? But in reflection, Fufang Hospital had treated him well. They sent him abroad to study, promoted him as the head of four wards, just allocated him a two-bedroom apartment, and his wife was transferred to the Postal and Telecommunications Hospital.
而且在学术上,他成功地完成了全院第一例正后壁梗后室壁瘤切除术并搭了两支桥;他使术后停跳45分钟的病人心脏复苏;他参与了国家“七五”攻关重点科研“冠心病心肌血重建方法”的研究和协调工作;他建立起液氮保存的同种生物瓣实验室,并将该瓣首次应用于临床,填补了国内空白。这ー课题获得国家自然科学基金和中国医学科学院科研基金……
Furthermore, in terms of academics, he successfully completed the first operation of resecting the posterior ventricular wall tumor and created two bypasses, revived a patient's heart that had stopped beating for 45 minutes after surgery, participated in the research and coordination of the national key scientific research project "Coronary Heart Disease Myocardial Blood Reconstruction Method," and established a laboratory for preserving homograft bioprosthetic valve in liquid nitrogen, and applied it to clinical practice for the first time, filling the gap in the domestic field. This project also got funding from The National Natural Science Foundation of China and the research fund of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS)...

“晓程,是工作不顺心,还是院领导考虑不周?院领导一直很器重你,希望你不要走。”院党委书记陈德林同志找刘晓程谈话。
"Xiaocheng, is it because of your work being unsatisfactory or because the hospital leaders are not considerate enough ? The leaders has always valued you, and hopes you won't leave." Chen Delin, the party secretary of the hospital, talked to Liu Xiaocheng.
“告诉我,晓程,到底因为什么?”郭加强院长是刘晓程的研究生导师。刘晓程是郭院长最得意的弟子,两人私交甚好。郭院长直言不讳地问道。
"Tell me, Xiaocheng, what's the real reason?" Guo Jiaqiang, the hospital dean, is Liu Xiaocheng's mentor. Liu Xiaocheng is Guo Jiaqiang's prized pupil, and they have a good relationship with each other. Guo Jiaqiang asked straightforwardly.
“导师,黑龙江是心血管病的高发区,10万心血管病人急需手术,那里更需要我。我准备在黑龙江建一座心血管病医院!”
"Mentor, Heilongjiang is a high-risk area for cardiovascular diseases, and there are 100,000 cardiovascular patients in urgent need of surgery. They need me more over there. I plan to build a cardiovascular disease hospital in Heilongjiang!"
“噢,原来是这样,并不是因为人际关系或者待遇问题……”郭院长的心里感到ー丝安慰,“我看你还是把关系留在阜外,先回去干一段看看再说,觉得不理想再回来嘛。”
"Oh, I see. It's not because of personal relationships or treatment ." hospital director Guo Jiaqiang felt a bit relieved in his heart. "I suggest you keep the relationship at Fufang and go back to work there for a while. If you don't find it ideal, then come back."
“谢谢导师,可我必须破釜沉舟,背水一战,否则会动摇我的意志”
"Thank you, mentor, but I have to go all out, or else it will shake my determination."
“你还是好好考虑考虑吧!”
"Well, you may as well think about it carefully ."
院领导不放,刘晓程只好去找曾担任佳木斯合江地委书记、现任中组部副部长的曹志同志说情。曹志给卫生部陈敏章部长写信说:“刘晓程立志到下面去,为人民解除病痛,这种精神应给予支持。”
Given that the hospital leader refused to let him go, Liu Xiaocheng had to go to Comrade Cao Zhi, who had served as the secretary of the Hejiang local party committee in Jiamusi and is now the Vice minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the CPC, to intercede. Cao Zhi wrote a letter to Chen Minzhang, the Ministry of Health, saying, "Liu Xiaocheng is determined to go to the grassroots to relieve the people of their illnesses. This spirit should be supported."
看到刘晓程去意坚决,郭加强院长只好忍痛放行。
Seeing that Liu Xiaocheng was determined to leave, Director of the hospital Guo Jiaqiang had to reluctantly let him go.
“既然是这样,我也就不勉强留你了。今后无论遇到什么困难尽管告诉我,导师的大门永远冲你晓程敞开着!”
"Since you were determined, I won't force you to stay. Whatever difficulties you encounter in the future, just tell me. As your mentor, my door will always be open to you! My doors will always be open to you,
Xiaocheng!"
“谢谢导师的关怀!”
"Thank you for your concern, mentor!"
临行前,一群收入微薄的护士凑钱请刘晓程到烤鸭店去吃烤鸭,约好每人送给他几句话,可到了餐桌上一句话都讲不出来,只有一片呜咽声。中层干部送别会上,一位副主任说:“晓程,你想到了我们大家想过的事,却做出了我们没有勇气做的事。”
Before leaving, a group of low-paid nurses pooled their money to invite Liu Xiaocheng to a roast duck restaurant, each of them planning to say a few words to him. But when they sat down to eat, no one could say anything except for sobs. At the farewell party held for middle leaders, a deputy director said, "Xiao Cheng, you thought what we all thought, but did what we didn't have the courage to do."
后来,这位副主任果然去了海南。一群研究生把刘晓程拉进宿舍,几杯薄酒为他饯行:“晓程你先走,我们为你壮行。这条路走对了,我们毕业后也回家乡!”
Later, the deputy director did go to Hainan. A group of graduate students dragged Liu Xiaocheng into their dormitory and gave him a little farewell party with wine. "You go first, Xiaocheng. We'll cheer for you. You chose the right path, we'll come back to our hometown after graduation too!
院器械处给刘晓程送来大量的器械,并把空压机换了马达,怕他用坏了没处修;麻醉科主任给他送来一大袋麻醉用品;历来有“把家虎”之称的监护室护士长, 破天荒地送给他ー堆难买的小器械;药剂科的丁飞主任眼含热泪叮嘱他:“今后不管什么紧缺药,只要阜外有的就有你晓程的！”病房的病人听说他要走,纷纷爬起来为他送别。
The medical equipment department of the hospital sent a large number of medical devices to Liu Xiaocheng, and even replaced the motor of the air compressor for fear that he would break it and have nowhere to repair it. A Head of Anesthesiology sent him a big bag of anesthetic supplies. The head nurse of the Intensive Care Unit, who has always been known as "the guardian of the hospital," sent him a pile of hard-to-buy small equipment unexpectedly. The Director of Pharmacy, Ding Fei, with tears in his eyes, urged him, "No matter what scarce medicine is needed in the future, as long as Fuwai has it, you can also have it, Xiaocheng!" When the patients in the ward heard that he was leaving, they all got up to bid him farewell.
人们赞扬刘晓程的妻子洪依舒很伟大,竟然舍弃北京优越的环境,跟丈夫回黑龙江去受苦,这在一般女人是做不到的。刘晓程也觉得妻子很了不起,但在临行前一天晚间,洪依舒看到昨天还温馨流溢的家,忽然变得冷冷清清一无所有了,她哭了。他拥着她在空空荡荡的屋里站了很久。他知道,这个家再也不属于他们了。
People praise Liu Xiaocheng's wife Hong Yishu for her greatness, because she gave up the privileged environment of Beijing and went back to Heilongjiang with her husband to suffer, which was something that most women cannot do. Liu Xiaocheng also thought that his wife is amazing, but on the evening before they left, Hong Yishu saw the home that was warm and affectionate yesterday suddenly became deserted and empty and cried. He held her in the empty house for a long time. He knew that this home no longer belonged to them.
世界因为他而改变The world changed because of him.
凤凰卫视资讯台总编阮次山先生说:“如果一个人年过30,你胸中的理想依然存在,你必然会有前途。就是做ー个升斗小民,也可以选择做ー个什么样的升斗小民。”
Mr. Ruan Cishan, the chief editor of Phoenix TV News, said, "If a person is over 30 years old and still holds onto their ideals, they are bound to have a bright future. Even if they are just an ordinary person, they can still choose to be an extraordinary one."
1987年6月14日,刘晓程起程回黑龙江。
On 14 June 1987, Liu Xiaocheng sets off for Heilongjiang.
决心回黑龙江之后,他的首选地是故乡佳木斯。春节放假期间,他曾找到市政府领导谈,说他要回佳木斯建一所心血管病医院,为家乡父老做点贡献。这位领导却以资金紧张为由回绝了他。之后,他来到距离佳木斯很近的牡丹江市。牡丹江的东安医院曾派医生到阜外医院学习过心脏手术,他曾带过他们的进修生。
After making the decision to return to Heilongjiang, his first stop was his hometown of Jiamusi. During the Chinese New Year holiday, he approached the Municipal government leaders to discuss about building a cardiovascular hospital in Jiamusi so as to contribute to his folks. However, the leader rejected with the excuse that money was tight. Liu then went to Mudanjiang city, which is close to Jiamusi. Dong'an Hospital in Mudanjiang had previously sent doctors to learn how to do heart surgery at Fuwai Hospital, and Liu had trained some of them.
1987 年春节期间,他带着巡回医疗队就在东安医院做过8台心脏手术。这次,他向牡丹江市政府领导说明了来意,立刻受到市政府领导的欢迎,并任命他为东安医院的党支部书记兼院长。就这样,以美丽的镜泊湖著称的牡丹江市,张开双臂热烈欢迎这位赤子的到来。
During the 1987 Chinese New Year holiday, he performed eight heart surgeries with a mobile medical team at Dong'an Hospital. This time, he explained his intentions to the Mudanjiang Municipal People’s Government and was warmly welcomed and appointed as the secretary of the hospital's Party branch and the hospital director. Thus, the beautiful city of Mudanjiang, famous for its Jingpo Lake, warmly welcomed this passionate man.
然而,随着他们一家三口的到来,一些流言蜚语却像空气ー样悄悄地弥漫开来。
“他肯定是在北京干不下去了,要不从国家大医院跑到这大集体医院来干啥?”“听说在镜泊湖给他盖了一幢别墅呢。要不,他从北京跑这穷地方来图啥呀?”
However, with their arrival, some rumors quietly went viral.
"He must have been unable to carry on his work in Beijing, why else would he left a national hospital to this collective hospital?"
"I heard that a villa was built for him at Jingbo Lake. Why would he come to this poor place from Beijing?"
东安医院是一所区级大集体医院,小日本侵略中国时盖的,半个多世纪的风剥雨蚀,早已经老掉牙了。墙壁ー碰就掉白灰,地板使劲ー踩就会陷下去。全院仅有 2000平方米房舍、70张床位,却有200多名职エ。医院穷得叮当响,背负几十万元的外债,没有像样的麻醉师,没有得力的助手,没有像样的器械……
Dong'an Hospital is a district-level collective hospital built during the War of Resistance Against Japan. With a history of more than half a century, it has already become old and weathered. The walls peeled off at the touch, and the floor sank underfoot. The entire hospital had only 2000 square meters of housing and 70 beds, but there were more than 200 staff members. The hospital was so poor that it had external debt of tens of thousands of yuan and had no competent anesthesiologists, no capable assistants, and no decent medical equipment...
刘晓程一家三口挤在ー间狭小的办公室里。难怪老百姓要问:刘晓程来牡丹江到底图啥?
Liu Xiaocheng and his family crowded together in a small office. No wonder the people asked: Why did Liu Xiaocheng up come to Mudanjiang?
可是,刘晓程却感到ー种从未有过的畅快,终于扔掉一切束缚,可以甩开膀子干了。第二天他就走上了手术台。就在这所简陋得令人难以置信的医院里,就在这间用竹竿支起塑料布、用来接住屋顶剥落的白灰及缓霜滴水的手术室里,靠几位仅受过初级训练的医护人员协助,他ー台接一台做起了世界最先进的心脏手术,一周就完成了十几例。
However, Liu Xiaocheng felt an unprecedented sense of liberation. He could finally lay himself out. The next day, he began performing surgery. In this shabby hospital, in this operating room set up with bamboo poles and plastic sheets used to catch the falling white powder and melting frost water from the roof, and with only a few medical personnel with basic training assisting him, he performed the most advanced heart surgeries in the world one after another, completing more than a dozen in a week.
这里还经常停电,ー停电体外循环机就停了,只能用手摇泵继续手术。一次, 《健康报》的两名记者来采访又遇到停电,从未见过心脏手术的记者用颤抖的手擎着手电,为刘晓程继续手术照明。过后,两名记者带着一群患者家属去找市长“请愿”,市长特批为东安医院增加了双路电,这オ解决了停电问题。
Power outages often occurred here, and when the power went out, the cardiopulmonary bypass unit stopped working, and they had to continue the operation by using a hand pump. Once when two journalists from Health News came to interview, the power went out again. The journalists ,who had never seen heart surgery before, held a torch with their trembling hands to illuminate the surgery for Liu Xiaocheng. Afterwards, the two journalists took a group of patients' families to petition the mayor and the mayor approved an increase in the electricity supply to Dongan Hospital, which eventually solved the power outage problem.
牡丹江能做心脏手术的消息不胫而走,各地的心脏病患者纷至沓来。小小东安医院原来门可罗雀,现在却一下子火爆起来。但刘晓程深知,即使他长出三头六臂日夜不停地手术,也远不能解决医患之间严重的供需矛盾,必须尽快培训出ー批能独当一面的心外科医生。可是,医院要钱没钱,要人オ没人才,要培养出ー批心外科医生,谈何容易?
The news that heart surgeries could be performed in Mudanjiang spread quickly. Heart disease patients all came in from all over the place. The once deserted Dongan Hospital suddenly became popular. However, Liu Xiaocheng knew that even if he had three heads and six arms and performed surgeries day and night, it would not solve the serious supply and demand imbalance between doctors and patients. They must train a group of independent and competent cardiac surgeons as soon as possible. However, the hospital had no money, no talent, and it was not easy to train such a group of cardiac surgeons.
但是,在刘晓程眼里,一切困难都不过是脚下的沙砾,人生的道路就是由诸多沙砾组成的。他ー边手把手地教年轻医生手术,ー边四处抽调人才,ー边游说各级领导筹建心血管病医院。他教诲年轻人:“你们这些人要以天下为己任,要让自己尽快成熟起来!拿破仑说,不想当元帅的士兵不是好士兵。我要告诉你们,不想超过师傅的徒弟就不是好徒弟!”
But in Liu Xiaocheng's eyes, life was bound to be full of difficulties. He taught young doctors how to perform surgery step by step, while recruiting talents and persuading leaders at all levels to build a cardiovascular hospital. He taught young people, "You must take the world as your own responsibility and grow mature as soon as possible! Napoleon once said, "A soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier." And I want to tell you that a student who does not want to surpass his teacher is not a good disciple!"

在刘晓程看来,每个人心灵深处都隐藏着ー种激情,只要你把他们心中的激情点燃,人人都会焕发出ー种不可估量的能量,只有周围的人都能充满激情地对待エ作,对待生活,才能形成一股强大的核心力,才能干出一番事业。
In Liu Xiaocheng's view, there is a passion hidden deep in everyone's heart. As long as you ignite it , he will radiate an immeasurable amount of energy. Only when those around you treat their work and life with passion can a strong core force be formed, and a great career can be achieved.
刘晓程的到来就像ー团火,点燃了死气沉沉几十年的医院,也点燃了一颗颗沉闷多年的心。大家纷纷被激励出从未有过的生机与活力。
Liu Xiaocheng's arrival was like a bonfire, igniting the hospital that had been depressing for decades, and igniting the hearts that had been depressed for years. Everyone was inspired with vitality and vigor that has never been seen before.
这里的医生从未见过心脏四联症根治术,不懂心脏换瓣,更没有见过国内只有少数医生能做的冠状动脉搭桥术。刘晓程就带领大家去电影院,趁人家放电影空隙,借用电影放映机来观看病人带来的心脏造影片子。可是,刚ー开机片子就忽然起火了,吓得放映员急忙关掉了机器。
The doctors here had never seen a complete repair for Tetralogy of Fallot, did not understand heart valve replacement, and had never seen a Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) that only a few doctors in China could perform. Liu Xiaocheng led everyone to the cinema and used the movie projector to watch the heart imaging films brought by the patients during breaks in the screenings.However, as soon as the machine was turned on, the film caught fire and the projectionist quickly turned off the machine.
原来国产造影片子放映机拉不动,ー拉就烧。他只好带着大家在观片灯下一片一片用放大镜看,边看边给大家讲解各种心脏手术,看完一个造影片子要花六七个小时。
It turned out that the domestic imaging film cannot be watched with projector which could not be pulled, and if it was pulled, the film would burn itself. He had no choice but to bring everyone to watch the films one by one under the observation lamp with a magnifying glass, explaining various heart surgeries while watching. It took six or seven hours to watch one imaging film.
为了强化医护人员的英语,在资金十分紧张的情况下,他为大家订购大量的外文书籍和期刊,请来全市最好的英语教师教大家口语。他要求医护人员平时尽量用英语对话。而且,在导师奥布来恩博士的帮助下,这所小小的大集体医院竟然派出30多名医护人员到查理王子医院留学。
To strengthen the English skills of medical staff, even in a very tight financial situation, he ordered a large number of foreign books and journals for everyone and invited the best English teachers in the city to teach everyone to speak English. He required medical staff to speak English as much as possible in their daily conversations. In addition, with the help of his mentor, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien, this small collective hospital actually sent more than 30 medical staff members to study at The Prince Charles Hospital.
刘晓程不仅重视医术,更重视全院医护人员的医德。
Liu Xiaocheng not only valued medical skills, but also valued the medical ethics of all hospital staff.
他向全院职エ提出:“假如病人是你的父母、兄弟、姐妹和孩子,你该怎样对待?”他第一次打出了“患者就是上帝”的口号。手术失败了,他和大家一起寝食无味;手术成功了,他和大家一起欢呼雀跃。为了抢救亟待输血的病人,他毫不犹豫地伸出自己的胳膊;为了一个复杂手术,他16个小时没下手术台;为了救活ー个病人,他三天三夜未合眼,晕倒在手术台上……
He proposed to the entire hospital staff: "If the patient was your parent, brother, sister, or child, how would you treat them?" He was the first to put forward the slogan "Patients were Gods". If the surgery failed, he and everyone else would lose his appetite; if the surgery succeeded, he would cheered with others. In order to save a patient who urgently needed a blood transfusion, he unhesitatingly extended his own arm; for a complex surgery, he did not leave the operating table for 16 hours; to save a patient's life, he did not sleep for three days and three nights, and even passed out by the operating table...
每当手术结束,当刘晓程向病人家属出示从他们亲人心脏上取下的病理标本, 从病人家属颤抖的双手上,从他们感激涕零的目光中,医护人员似乎读懂了人生的真谛一“人为什么活着”这个简单而复杂的命题。试想,还有什么比拯救他人的生命而使自己活得更崇高、更充实、更有价值呢?
Every time when the surgery ended and Liu Xiaocheng showed the pathological specimen taken from the patient's heart to the patient's family, the medical staff seemed to understand, from their trembling hands and grateful eyes, the truth of life ----the simple yet complex proposition of "why do we live?"
What could be more noble, fulfilling, and valuable than saving the lives of others?
刘晓程说:“有人曾说,世界上三种人是最幸福的,ー种是母亲看孩子洗澡;另ー种是大人看小孩玩沙子;最后ー种就是我们医生治好了病人。”
Liu Xiaocheng said, " Someone once said that there are three kinds of people in the world who are the happiest: mothers who watch their children take a bath; adults who watch children play in the sand; and finally, doctors who healed the sick."
一天,一位55岁的农民苦苦地哀求刘晓程救救他,说他不想死,家里上有老下有小,一大家子人都等着他呢。刘晓程却发现这位农民的心脏像篮球似的,任何搭桥术对他极度衰竭的心脏来说都无济于事了,要想拯救他的生命,只能做心脏移植。但就现状,到哪儿能弄到ー颗鲜活的心脏给ー个农民换上?
One day, a 55-year-old farmer begged Liu Xiaocheng to save him. He said he didn't want to die, and that he had a large family to support. However, Liu Xiaocheng found that the farmer's heart was like a basketball, and no coronary artery bypass grafting would work for his severely weakened heart. The only way to save his life was heart transplant. But given the current situation, where could they get a fresh heart to replace the farmer's?
也许,这位农民前世修来ー份天缘,就在这时传来ー个消息,说一名被判处死刑的杀人犯临死前良心发现,要求死后把自己的器官捐给社会。听到这个不知真假的消息,刘晓程急忙跑到看守所,费尽口舌见到了罪犯。
Perhaps the God repay this farmer for his good deeds in his past life. At that critical moment, news came that a prisoner on death row had a change of heart before his execution and wanted to donate his organs to society. Upon hearing this possibly true news, Liu Xiaocheng rushed to the prison and went to great lengths to meet the criminal.
罪犯20多岁,男性,一副心如死灰的表情。The criminal was a young man in his twenties, with a dead expression on his face.
刘晓程问他:“你真决定要把自己的器官捐给社会吗?”
Liu Xiaocheng asked him, "Are you really determined to donate your organs to society?"
青年毫无表情地点点头。
The young man nodded expressionlessly.
“你为什么要捐献自己的器官呢?”
"Why do you want to donate your organs?"
“为了赎罪……”
"To atone..."
“你不为你的决定后悔吗?”
"Don't you regret your decision?"
“有啥可后悔的,人都死了留着它有啥用!”
"What's there to regret? "I'm dying, What's the point of keeping my organs?"
刘晓程向青年伸出ー只手来,青年却迟疑着:“我手上沾满了鲜血”
Liu Xiaocheng reached out his hand to the young man, but the young man hesitated,saying "I had blood on my hands."
“我是医生,我手上也沾满了血。”
"I'm a doctor, I had blood on my hands, too."
“可你是为了救人……”
"But you're saving lives..."
“我为你感到遗憾,因为你是法盲。可我很敬佩你做出这样的决定,我要谢谢你。”
"I feel sorry for you because you are ignorant of the law. But I admire your decision, and I want to thank you."
青年疑惑地盯着刘晓程,迟疑地伸出手来握住他的手:“你……为什么要谢我?”
The young man stared at Liu Xiaocheng, looking puzzled and surprised. After a long while, he extended his hand and shook Liu Xiaocheng's hand. "Why are you thanking me?"
“因为你将拯救另外一个人的生命。”
"Because you will save another person's life."
青年用那呆滞的、走到人生尽头的目光,茫然而惊讶地望着刘晓程,久久不动。
The young man looked at Liu Xiaocheng with a dull, life-ending gaze, bewildered and surprised, and did not move for a long time.
刘晓程跟这个即将告别人世的青年成了朋友,ー连几次来探望他。临刑前ー天晚上,他还为青年设了一顿便宴。
Liu Xiaocheng became friends with this young man who was about to bid farewell to the world, and visited him several times. The night before his execution, Liu Xiaocheng held a small party for the young man.
“刘大夫,你这么把我当人,我死了也知足了。”青年满眼泪水,将杯中酒ー饮而尽。
"Dr. Liu, you treat me like a human being. Even if I die, I will die satisfied." The young man said with tears in his eyes and drained his glass of wine.
在ー个烟雨蒙蒙的清晨,刘晓程目送着青年一步ー步向刑场走去,青年留下的最后一句话是:“如果我能早点遇到你,也许不会走到今天。”刘晓程感到遗憾,他拯救过千万人的生命,唯独拯救不了这个年轻人。令他聊以自慰的是,他帮助青年实现了最后的夙愿。就在这一天,那位55岁的农民获得了第二次生命。手术做得相当成功,时间是1992年7月5日。
On a misty morning, Liu Xiaocheng watched as the young man walked step by step towards the execution ground. The last words the young man left behind were, "If I had met you earlier, maybe I wouldn't have ended up like this." Liu Xiaocheng felt regretful, as he had saved millions of lives but was unable to save this young man. But to his relief, he had helped the young man fulfill his final wish. On the same day, the 55-year-old farmer received a second chance to live through a successful surgery. The operation was done on July 5, 1992.
紧接着,刘晓程又为一名38岁的农民成功地完成了心脏移植。医护人员给两名移植心脏的病人起名叫大宝和二宝。痊愈之后,大宝和二宝戴着红袖标,为医院担任起警卫和导诊员。
Following that, Liu Xiaocheng successfully performed a heart transplant for a 38-year-old farmer. The medical staff named the two transplant recipients "Big Treasure" and "Little Treasure". After they recovered, Big Treasure and Little Treasure wore red armbands and served as security guards and guides for the hospital.
在完成心脏移植的基础上,刘晓程又完成了我国首例心、肺联合移植术,使小小牡丹江医院成为全世界能开展此项手术的五十家医院之一,使我国跻身于世界心血管外科的先进行列。国际心肺移植协会邀请牡丹江医院加入了世界心肺移植协会。
On the basis of completing a heart transplant, Liu Xiaocheng has completed China's first Heart-lung transplantation (HLTx), making the small Mudanjiang Hospital one of the fifty hospitals in the world that could perform such a operation and enabling China to advance to the forefront of the world's cardiovascular surgery. The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) invited Mudanjiang Hospital to join it.
当年,“八女投江”的故事曾为牡丹江塑造了血染的风采。而今,刘晓程又使牡丹江名声大噪。他的事迹震撼了国内外专家、学者。卫生部部长陈敏章写信表示祝贺。国外一些专家、学者纷纷向他伸出援助之手。
Years ago, the story of the "Eight Women Die a Martyr" had given Mudanjiang much reputation for patriotism. Now, Liu Xiaocheng has brought fame to Mudanjiang once again. His deeds have deeply impressed domestic and foreign experts and scholars. Chen Minzhang, Minister of the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China, sent a letter of congratulations. Some foreign experts and scholars have extended their helping hands to him.
联邦德国某厂家赠给牡丹江医院200根体外循环插管;加拿大朋友说服了加拿大政府,为牡丹江医院提供了价值240万元人民币的设备;美国10位朋友在1989年9月,顶着美国政府的压力,带着20万美元的捐赠设备专程来到牡丹江。美国慈善机构总裁麦根先生问刘晓程:“你为什么在国内国外都要牺牲自己?”
A German manufacturer donated 200 extracorporeal circulation catheters to Mudanjiang Hospital. Friends from Canada convinced the Canadian government to provide equipment worth 2.4 million yuan to Mudanjiang Hospital. In September 1989, under pressure from the US government, 10 American friends brought a donation of equipment worth $200,000 to Mudanjiang. Mr. McGin, the president of An American charity organization, asked Liu Xiaocheng: "Why do you contributing yourself both at home and abroad?"
刘晓程回答:“为了千千万万贫困的病人。”
Liu Xiaocheng replied, "For the millions of poor patients."
麦根总裁大为感动:“我来中国27次了,中国要求援助的单位很多,但我决定将你的名字放在我们名单的第一位。你缺什么尽管告诉我,我会全力支持你!”
Mr. McGin was greatly moved and said, "I have been to China 27 times, and there are many units in China that request aid, but I decided to put your name at the top of our list. Tell me what you need, and I will do my best to support you!"
5年之内,麦根总裁4次援助刘晓程价值十几万美元的药品及器材。麦根不仅亲自带器材来中国,还派儿子从美国专程飞到中国给刘晓程送器材及药品。
Within five years, Mr. McGin assisted Liu Xiaocheng four times with drugs and equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars. Mr. McGin not only brought the equipment to China himself, but also sent his son from the United States to China to deliver the equipment and drugs to Liu Xiaocheng.
澳大利亚的朋友利用假期纷纷自费飞到牡丹江,来举办讲座,与刘晓程在简陋的手术室里同台手术。临行前夜,导师和澳大利亚的朋友一定要去看看刘晓程的妻子和儿子。当看到著名心血管医生一家三口住在简陋的办公室里,他们的眼睛湿润了,紧紧地拥抱着刘晓程说:“我们还会来的!”等他们再来时,给刘晓程带来ー个惊人的好消息:经澳大利亚朋友的努力,澳大利亚国际发展援助署决定,为牡丹江医院培养专科技术人才。
Liu's friends from Australia all used their holidays to come to Mudanjiang at their own expense to give lectures and perform operations in the simple operating room with Liu Xiaocheng. On the eve of their departure, Liu’s mentors and his Australian friends insisted on visiting Liu Xiaocheng's wife and son. When they saw the old office where a famous doctor like Liu xiaocheng and his family lived, their eyes were moist, and they hugged Liu Xiaocheng tightly, saying, "We will come back!"
And when they arrived in China again, they brought Liu Xiaocheng astonishing news: with the efforts of Liu's Australian friends, the Australian International Development Assistance Bureau (AIDAB) decided to train specialized technical personnel for Mudanjiang Hospital.
江泽民说:“晓程啊晓程,你是晓得事业能够成功啊!”
1989年10月6日,对于几百万心脏病人来说,是ー个非同寻常的日子。
Jiang Zemin, 5th President of the People's Republic of China, said, "Xiaocheng, you know how to make the cause successful!"
October 6th, 1989 was an extraordinary day for millions of heart disease patients.
下午3点,应国家人事部之邀,31名海外归来的天之骄子,英姿勃发地走进了中南海小会议厅,与江泽民总书记座谈。刘晓程也在其中。
At 3:00 pm, 31 outstanding overseas returnees, invited by the Ministry of Personnel of the People's Republic of China, walked into the small conference hall of Zhongnanhai with great spirit to have a discussion with Jiang Zemin, 5th President of the People's Republic of China. Liu Xiaocheng was among them.
到牡丹江以后,刘晓程一直在为筹建心血管专科医院的巨额资金而四处奔波。尽管黑龙江省、牡丹江市领导对他大力支持,在财政十分紧张的情况下,为筹建新医院投资1000万元,但距离创建一所现代化心血管医院还相距甚远。
After arriving in Mudanjiang, Liu Xiaocheng had been working tirelessly to raise the huge funds needed to build a specialized cardiovascular hospital. The leaders of Heilongjiang Province and Mudanjiang City gave him great support and invested 10 million yuan in the preparation of the new hospital despite financial constraints, but it was still a long way from creating a modern cardiovascular hospital.
他正在为资金问题发愁,忽然接到国家人事部的邀请,请他赴京参加江总书记与留学生代表的座谈。聪明过人的他立刻意识到机会来了。所以,当江泽民总书记面带微笑地坐下来,30名留学生还沉浸在兴奋与拘谨之中,坐在前排的刘晓程却第一个发言了。
As Liu was worrying about the funding issue, he suddenly received an invitation from the Ministry of Personnel of the People's Republic of China to attend a symposium between Mr.Jiang Zemin and representatives of overseas students in Beijing. Smart as he was, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity. Therefore, when Mr.Jiang Zemin sat down with a smile, and when the 30 overseas students were still immersed in excitement and restraint, Liu Xiaocheng, sitting in the front row, was the first to speak.
“我是从澳大利亚留学归来的刘晓程,我在牡丹江东安医院工作。当年,我的导师让我留在澳大利亚,我说:中国有句老话,叫作 “儿不嫌母丑,狗不嫌家贫”。澳大利亚虽然条件优越,但并不需要我;我的国家虽然很穷,却很需要我。为了报效国家,我从澳大利亚回到祖国。为了拯救更多的心脏病人,我又从阜外医院回到了黑龙江。
"I am Liu Xiaocheng, who returned from studying abroad in Australia, and I work for Dong'an Hospital in Mudanjiang now. When I was studying abroad, my mentor once wanted me to stay in Australia, but I said there is an old saying in China that goes "A child will not dislike their mother for being ugly, and a dog will not dislike their home for being poor." Although Australia has privileged environment, they don't need me. My country, though poor, needs me. So I returned to my homeland from Australia to serve my country. And now, in order to save more heart disease patients, I returned to Heilongjiang from Fuwai Hospital.
目前,我国有三四百万心脏病人需要手术,可我们每年仅能手做1%的手术,存在着严重的供需矛盾。许多病人都在苦苦地等待着手术,可绝大部分病人一直等到死都排不上号。所以,我们计划在牡丹江创建一所心血管病专科医院。
Currently, there are three to four million heart disease patients in China who need surgeries, but we can only perform 1% of the surgeries needed each year, resulting in a serious supply-demand contradiction.
Many patients are waiting desperately for surgery, but most of them cannot get an operation in time and die waiting. Therefore, we plan to establish a specialized cardiovascular disease hospital in Mudanjiang. 今天,我请江总书记支持我,请在座的各位领导支持我,帮助我们解决资金问题! 这不是支持我个人,而是支持广大留学生报效祖国的事业,支持我们解决老百姓的疾苦!”
Today, I ask Mr. Jiang and all the leaders here to support me and help us solve the funding issue. This is not just about supporting me personally, but about supporting the undertakings of overseas students serving our country and about solving the sufferings of the people!"
“好!晓程同志讲得太好了’江泽民同志立刻赞扬道,“我就喜欢晓程说的那句话,儿不嫌母丑,狗不嫌家贫。如果中国人都像晓程同志这样,以天下为己任,那我们中国的发展就快了嘛！晓程同志,请你放心,我一定全力支持你！在座的各位也一定全力支持你!”
"Good! What Comrade Xiaocheng just said is extremely correct." Mr.Jiang Zemin immediately praised "I really like the words Xiaocheng used, 'A child will not dislike their mother for being ugly, and a dog will not dislike their home for being poor.' If all Chinese people were like Comrade Xiaocheng, taking the world as their own responsibility, then our country's development would be faster! Comrade Xiaocheng, please rest assured that you have my full support! All the leaders present will also fully support you!"
“那我代表家乡的父老乡亲谢谢您,谢谢江总书记的支持!”刘晓程急忙说道。
"Then, on behalf of the people in my hometown, I want to thank you, Mr.Jiang, for your support!" Liu Xiaocheng hurriedly replied.
会议原定两个小时,却开了 3个多小时。末了,江泽民同志握着刘晓程的手, 笑道:“晓程啊晓程,你是晓得事业能够成功啊!”
The originally scheduled two-hour meeting lasted for over three hours. In the end, Jiang Zemin shook hands with Liu Xiaocheng and said with a smile, "Xiaocheng, you know how to make the cause succeed!"
座谈会不久,国务院开会并形成会议纪要:“支持刘晓程同志创建心血管病医院,此事由李铁映和宋健同志负责。”
Not long after the symposium, the State Council held a meeting and formed minutes: "Support Comrade Liu Xiaocheng in establishing a cardiovascular hospital, and this matter is entrusted to Comrades Li Tieying and Song Jian."
第二天,《人民日报》发出消息:澳大利亚归来的留学生刘晓程,为了解决百姓疾苦,向江泽民总书记提出创建心血管医院的建议,得到江总书记的大力支持。
之后,江泽民同志在会上多次表扬刘晓程,胡锦涛同志也接见了刘晓程。
On the second day, the People's Daily reported that Liu Xiaocheng, a student returning from Australia, proposed to create a cardiovascular hospital to address the suffering of the people, and received strong support from General Secretary Jiang Zemin. Later, Comrade Jiang Zemin praised Liu Xiaocheng several times during meetings , and Comrade Hu Jintao also met with him.
得知国务院形成会议纪要的当天,刘晓程和副院长王铁林连夜起草报告,两人带着省、市各级政府的批文火速赶到北京,找宋健、李铁映同志批示,说服国家计委、科委、财政部、卫生部、物资部等各级部门的领导……
On the day that Liu Xiaocheng learned that the State Council had formed a meeting minute, he and Vice President Wang Tielin drafted a report overnight, and with the approval documents of governments at the provincial and municipal levels, they rushed to Beijing to seek approval from Comrades Song Jian and Li Tieying, and to persuade leaders of various departments such as the State Planning Commission (China), the Central Science and Technology Commission , the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Materials...
“李科长,我是黑龙江牡丹江东安医院的刘晓程。这是我们申请创建心血管医院的报告。为了解决众多被病痛折磨得走投无路、处在水深火热之中的心脏病人, 我们要在牡丹江创建一所心血管病专科医院,得到了江总书记的支持,请您也给予大力支持!您不是在支持我个人,而是在支持千千万万排不上号、住不上院的心脏病人,支持我们的兄弟姐妹,支持我们的医疗事业……”
"Director Li, I am Liu Xiaocheng from Dong'an Hospital in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang. This is our report on the proposal to establish a cardiovascular hospital. In order to solve the problems faced by numerous heart disease patients who are tormented by diseases but have no access to medical treatment, we want to establish a specialized cardiovascular hospital in Mudanjiang. We have received the support of General Secretary Jiang and hope that we can also your full support. You are not supporting me personally, but supporting countless heart disease patients who are unable to get treatment, supporting our brothers and sisters, and supporting our country’s medical cause..."
游说完科长游说处长,游说完处长再游说局长,ー个接ー个地游说,说得口干舌燥,脚上磨出了血泡,ー连几天连饭都顾不上吃。
Liu Xiaocheng lobbied the section chief, and then the department head, the bureau chief , one by one, tirelessly until he got thirsty, had blisters on his feet, and even forgetting to eat for several days.
人们常说,精诚所至,金石为开。
People often say that faith will move mountains.
他们一心为百姓解决疾苦的真诚,深深感动了所有有社会良知的人。财政部李明安司长说:“财政,财政,理财参政。这钱给谁与不给谁,就是最大的政治!你们ー心为百姓办事,我们虽然财力有限,但一定要支持你们!”
Their sincerity in solving the sufferings of the people deeply moved all those with social conscience. Li Ming'an, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, said, "Finance, namely participating in politics with financial management. The decision of whom to give money to and whom not to give money to is the biggest political issue. You have been serving the people wholeheartedly, and although our financial resources are limited, we must support you!"
中央各部委相继为牡丹江新医院筹集了 2000万资金及中央外汇。刘晓程为其换过心脏瓣膜的北京建筑设计院高级设计师潘志英同志提出:“即使不给钱也要帮刘晓程设计医院大楼。”牡丹江的群众得知新医院开办经费不足,纷纷送去钱、布匹、冰箱、彩电
Central ministries successively raised 20 million yuan in funds and foreign exchange for the new Mudanjiang Hospital. Pan Zhiying, Senior designer at the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design who had undergone heart valve replacement surgery performed by Liu Xiaocheng, suggested , "We must help Liu Xiaocheng design the hospital building even not being paid." When the people of Mudanjiang learned that the funding for the new hospital was insufficient, they sent money, cloth, refrigerators, and color TVs there immediately.
1991年7月31日,中国第二所心血管病专科医院在牡丹江市隆重开业。已经成为全国人大秘书长的曹志同志、各部委领导及黑龙江省委书记、省长都来参加典礼。当时,洪水冲垮了铁路,却没有阻挡住中外朋友前来参加开业庆典。
On July 31, 1991, the second specialized cardiovascular hospital in China was grandly opened in Mudanjiang City. Cao Zhidong,
Secretary-General of the National People's Congress, leaders of various ministries, the Secretary of the CPC Heilongjiang Provincial Committee and the Governor of the Heilongjiang Province.all attended the opening ceremony. At that time, the flood had washed away the railway, but it did not stop Chinese and foreign friends from attending the opening ceremony.
奥布来恩博士和查理王子医院院长斯太堡先生,带着刻有中澳两国地图、用红线连接两座城市以表示姊妹医院的牌匾（另ー块相同的牌匾挂在查理王子医院）及15箱医疗器材,专程来参加新医院的开业典礼。说来奇怪,数天阴雨绵绵,这天9点钟剪彩时却忽然云开雾散,艳阳高照。人们说,老天都为之感动了。
Carrying a plaque with maps of China and Australia on which a red line connects the two cities to indicate sister hospitals (another identical plaque was hung at The Prince Charles Hospital and 15 boxes of medical equipment, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien and Mr. Staub, the director of Prince Charles Hospital, came specifically to attend the opening ceremony of the new hospital. Strangely, after days of continuous rain, the clouds suddenly cleared and the sun shone brightly at 9 o'clock when the ribbon was cut. People said that even the God was moved.
刘晓程来牡丹江7年,为来自全国23个省的3000多名患者做了心脏手术,病人成活率高达98.6%;他6天内完成了 2例心脏移植,完成了中国首例心、肺移植; 他创建了中国第二所现代化心血管医院;他培养出ー批能独立操作的心外科医生; 为黑龙江省医院、哈尔滨儿童医院、哈尔滨242医院及印度尼西亚万隆医院等多家医院,培养了大批全套心血管技术专业人才。
Liu Xiaocheng has been in Mudanjiang for 7 years and has performed heart surgeries for over 3,000 patients from 23 provinces across China and the survival rate of his patients is as high as 98.6%. He completed 2 heart transplants within 6 days, including the first heart and lung transplant in China. He established the second modern cardiovascular hospital in China and trained a group of independent cardiac surgeons. He has also trained numerous cardiovascular professionals for many hospitals including the Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital, Harbin Children's Hospital, Harbin 242 Hospital, and the Bandung Hospital in Indonesia.
短短7年,千千万万个生命因他而改变了命运,因他而提高了生存质量。但是,没人知道刘晓程家庭的故事,无论是对过世的还是活着的,他都欠下ー笔永远无法弥补的人情债。
In just seven years, the fate of countless lives has changed, and their quality of life has been improved because of him. However, no one knows the story of Liu Xiaocheng's family. Liu owes a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid, to both those who passed away and those who are still alive.
1991年12月10日,处于弥留之际的母亲,用她游丝般的声音艰难地呼唤着儿子:“晓程,晓程……”老人想在离开人世前再见儿子一面。可是,此刻的晓程却东渡日本,正为建立新的双边关系而奔忙。等他赶回佳木斯,留给他的却是蒙在白单下的母亲遗容了。
On December 10th, 1991, Liu Xiaocheng's mother was dying . On her deathbed, he called out to her son with a weak voice, "Xiaocheng, Xiaocheng..." The old woman wanted to see her son one last time before she left the world. However, at that moment, Xiaocheng was in Japan working to establish new bilateral relations. When he returned to Jiamusi, he found his mother had already passed away.
“妈妈,晓程回来晚了 !晓程对不起您啊!”晓程趴在母亲遗体上痛不欲生。
"Mum, I'm xiaocheng. I came back too late! I'm sorry, Mum!" Lying on his mother's body, Xiaocheng cried out in agony .
儿子是心脏病专家,却没能为死于心衰的母亲尽一点儿カ。儿子抢救过千万人的生命,唯独没能抢救生养自己的母亲。儿子心灵深处留下了永远无法释怀的疚痛与遗憾。但是,母亲留给儿子的那张“医乃仁术,好自为之”的条幅,却像母亲那双慈祥的眼睛,永远激励着儿子,彪炳着儿子恢宏的事业,勉励着儿子永远以仁者之心对待病人。
He is an expert in heart disease but was unable to do anything for his mother who died of heart failure. He has saved the lives of millions of people but was unable to save the life of the one who had gave him life, which left him guilt and regret deep in his heart that can never be got over. However, the banner that his mother left for him,"To be a doctor is to practice benevolence" is like his mother's kind eyes, always inspiring him to pursue his magnificent career and to treat patients with kindness.
镜泊湖距离牡丹江市仅ー百多公里,那里湖光山色,景致很美。他却从没带妻儿去过。妻子在牡丹江二院眼科工作,3天一个夜班,他忙她也忙,家里弄得盆朝天碗朝地的没个家样。夜半归来,他常常看到小手小脚黑乎乎的儿子手拿吃剩ー半的面包,蜷缩在沙发上睡着了,他忙把儿子抱到床上,给孩子脱去鞋袜盖好被子, 内心酸酸的,充满了自责:“儿子,爸爸对不起你。如果真有来世,爸爸一定当个好父亲。”
Jingbo Lake is only a hundred kilometers away from Mudanjiang City, and it is beautiful there with its picturesque mountains and lake. However, he has never taken his wife and children there. His wife works in the ophthalmology department of Mudanjiang Second People's Hospital, working three-night shifts in a row. They are both busy, so their house is always messy. When he comes home late at night, he often sees his son sleeping on the sofa with a half-eaten bread in his dirty hand. He hurriedly carries his son to bed, takes off his shoes and socks and covers him with a blanket, feeling guilty in his heart, "Son, Daddy is sorry for not taking good care of you. If there really were a next life, Daddy would be a good father."
来世是虚幻的,现实オ是真实的。他的个性决定了他今生的选择,也决定了他今生的命运。
However the fact is that there is no after life at all. Liu's personality determines his choices and fate in this life.
1994年5月的一天上午,市委领导来到牡丹江心血管病医院礼堂,向全院职エ公布了一个消息:中组部发来调令,刘晓程被提拔为中国医学科学院及中国协和医科大学副院长及副校长
One morning in May 1994, the leaders of the municipal party committee came to the auditorium of Mudanjiang Cardiovascular Hospital and announced a piece of news to the entire hospital staff: The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party issued an order to promote Liu Xiaocheng to Vice President of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) and Peking Union Medical College.
全场顿时鸦雀无声,人们都像傻了一样。
The whole room suddenly fell silent, and people were stunned.
瞬间,7年来许许多多斑斓灿烂的回忆,充盈在所有人的脑海,撞击着他们敏感而脆弱的神经,全场响起一片抽泣声。这是怎样艰苦而又痛快淋漓的7年啊!
In an instant, colorful and brilliant memories of the past 7 years came to everyone's mind, hitting their sensitive and fragile nerves, and the room was filled with sobbing. What a difficult yet enjoyable 7 years it was!
春的觉醒,夏的苦斗,秋的收获,冬的拼搏。水与血的交融,不似亲人,胜似亲人,既是领导又是导师,既是情同手足的兄长,又是望“子”成龙的“严父”。因他而改变了多少人的命运,因他而拯救了多少个不幸的家庭。在人们心目中,他是一座伟岸奇绝的山峰,让人在污泥浊气中领略着圣者的风范;他又是一本内容丰富的书,令人百读不倦。然而,他却要调走了。
Awakenings in Spring, struggles in summer, harvest in autumn , and hard work in winter . The fusion of water and blood is not like family, but better than family. Liu is both a leader and a mentor, a brother with sibling-like affection, and a strict “father” who hopes for his "children" to succeed. He has changed the fate of many people and saved the lives of many unfortunate families. In people's hearts, he is a towering and extraordinary mountain peak, allowing people to appreciate the demeanor of a saint in the midst of filth and foul air; he is also a book with rich contents, which people can never get tired of. However, he has to leave now.
此刻,坐在台上的刘晓程也是泪眼朦胧。他舍不得离开这些风雨同舟的同事。全院职エ跟着他没日没夜地折腾了 7年,苦了 7年。现在刚刚好转,他却被调走了。
Liu Xiaocheng, sitting on the stage at this moment, also has tears in his eyes. He is reluctant to leave his colleagues who have gone through thick and thin with him for 7 years. All the staff in the hospital have worked tirelessly day and night with him for the past 7 years. Now, just as things were getting better, he was to be transferred.
他为职エ盖的120套宿舍刚刚收尾,托儿所刚刚动エ,他本想为职エ创造更多的福利,可是……
The construction of 120 sets of housing for the staff was just finished, and the building if the kindergarten has just started. He wanted to create more benefits for his colleagues, but...
他觉得对不住这些患难与共的同事,可他不能不听从中央的调动。
老百姓更不愿让他走。许多群众听说刘晓程被调走了,ー连几天堵在医院门口要见他……
He feels sorry for his comrades who have shared the hardships with him, but he cannot disobey the central government's transfer. The general public are even more unwilling to let him go. Hearing that Liu Xiaocheng was to be transferred, Many people even blocked the hospital gate for several days to see him...
调令来了三个月,刘晓程一直没动身。他向新接任的院长ーー交代清楚,又看着年轻弟子主刀做完了最后ー批高难手术……临走,他像导师叮嘱自己一样叮嘱弟子们:“记住,今后遇到什么困难都要告诉我,我的大门永远冲你们敞开着
Three months after the transfer order came, Liu Xiaocheng still didn’t moved. He explained everything to the newly appointed hospital director and watched as his young students completed the final batch of difficult surgeries. Before leaving, he did the same thing his mentor had done for him. He advised his students to always inform him of any difficulties they may face, and that his door will always be open to them,
动身那天,全院职エ及病人用泪水和歌声为他送行:“送战友,踏征程……革命生涯常分手……一路多保重……”
歌声中饱含着情同手足的深情,也饱含着难舍难分的悲伤。
On the day of his departure, the staff and patients of the hospital bid him farewell with tears and songs: "Farewell, comrade who will embark on a new journey...In a revolutionary career, partings are common...Take care all the way..." The songs were filled with brotherly love and deep sadness at the thought of parting.
然而,谁都没有料到,调回北京的第六个年头,2000年,刚刚51岁的刘晓程却向卫生部递交了辞呈。高官厚禄,为什么留不住他?
However, no one expected that in his sixth year of being transferred back to Beijing , the year of 2000, Liu Xiaocheng, who just turned 51 years old, submitted his resignation to the Ministry of Health. Why the high position and salary couldn't keep him ?
又像当年一样,人们对他百思不得其解:刘晓程为什么要辞职?是没有得到提拔重用,还是领导班子不和,还是想下海去赚大钱?
Just like before, people were puzzled by his decision. Why did Liu Xiaocheng resign? Was it because he didn't receive a promotion, because of conflicts with the leadership team, or because he wanted to make more money in the private sector?
这时的刘晓程已经是中国医学科学院党委书记兼副院长,管辖着协和、阜外、肿瘤、整形等六大医院,十几个国家级研究所,30名院士、2000多名教授和数万名职エ,权カ大得令人羡慕。
At this time, Liu Xiaocheng was the Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, overseeing six major hospitals including Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Fuwai Hospital, Beijing Cancer Hospital, and a plastic surgery hospital, as well as more than ten national research institutes, 30 academicians, over 2,000 professors, and tens of thousands of staff. His power was enviable.
他处事果断,一身正气,群众威望很高。他又是博士生导师。1994年,他创建了协和医院的心外科;1996年,他在国内率先使用了动脉心脏搭桥。据国外统计,静脉搭桥十年的通畅率为42%-45%,动脉搭桥为 90%—95%。他在心外科领域声誉很高。北京一些医院在心脏手术中遇到难题, 常常向他求救。
He was decisive, upright, and highly respected by the people. He was also a doctoral supervisor. In 1994, he established the cardiac surgery department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and in 1996, he was the first in China to perform coronary artery bypass graft. According to statistics from abroad, the patency rate for venous bypass after ten years is 42%-45%, while that for coronary artery bypass graft is 90%-95%. He was highly regarded in the field of cardiac surgery, and many hospitals in Beijing often sought his help when they encountered difficulties in cardiac surgery.
在他任职的6年里,工作干得相当出色,上下一片赞誉。他被评为“国家级有突出贡献的中青年专家”“全国先进工作者”“有突出贡献的回国留学人员 ” 英国剑桥和美国北卡罗来纳国际传记中心将其列入《国际知识分子名人录》《国际传略词典》等国际权威传略文献;他的事迹被拍成电视专题片《求索》《脊梁》及故事片《归国的留学生》;他被选为党的“十四大”代表……
In his six years in office, he did an outstanding job, and was highly praised by all. He was awarded "Young and Middle-Aged Experts Nationally Acknowledged for their Outstanding Achievements",
"National Advanced Worker," and "Overseas Returnees with Outstanding Contributions." He was also listed in international authoritative biographical literature such as "the International Who's Who of Intellectuals" and "Dictionary Of International Biography". His story was made into television documentaries such as Pursuit of Wonder and "Backbone," as well as the movie "Returning Overseas Students." He was also selected as a representative for The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
1995年卫生部派他到中央党校学习,参加了被人们称为“黄埔军校”的第一批省、部级学习班,该班学员大部分都被提拔到省、部级领导岗位。刘晓程也被中组部列为卫生部副部长人选。
In 1995, he was sent by the Ministry of Health to study at the Party School of the Central Committee of CPC and participated in the first batch of provincial and ministerial-level official training classes, which were called 'The Republic of China Military Academy' by people. Most of the students in the class were promoted to provincial and ministerial leadership positions. Liu Xiaocheng was also listed by the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party as a candidate for the deputy minister of the Ministry of Health.
1996年,世界卫生组织向中国要一名助理总干事,卫生部首推刘晓程,希望他能为世界卫生事业做出贡献。世界卫生组织助理总干事年薪10万美金,可以带家眷,工作地址坐落在瑞士美丽的日内瓦湖畔。刘晓程赴瑞士接受即将担任世界卫生组织总干事的布伦特兰女士的面试。布伦特兰女士让他谈谈对世界卫生组织的认识,刘晓程谈到世界卫生组织应为人类防治疾病、提高健康水平做出贡献。布伦特兰女士却问他:“你怎么看待在本组织中的男女平等问题?”
In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) requested an assistant director-general from China. The Ministry of Health recommended Liu Xiaocheng, hoping that he could contribute to the global health cause. The WHO Assistant Director-General's annual salary was 100,000 US dollars, and it allowed the employee to bring their family and work in Geneva, Switzerland, a beautiful city located on the shore of Lake Geneva. Liu Xiaocheng went to Switzerland to attend the interview by Ms. Gro Harlem Brundtland, who was going to become the Director-General of the WHO. Brundtland asked him to talk about his understanding of the WHO. Liu Xiaocheng said that the WHO should contribute to disease prevention and health improvement for humanity. Brundtland then asked him, "How do you view gender equality within this organization?"
刘晓程说:“男女平等是人类社会和各级国际组织应为之努力的永恒主题,但不是世界卫生组织所应关心的首要问题。世界卫生组织应该关心和解决危及全人类健康的迫切问题,不仅仅是本机构内职员的性别比例。”
Liu Xiaocheng replied, "Gender equality is a timeless theme that human society and international organizations at all levels should strive for, but it is not the primary concern of the WHO. The WHO should focus on and address urgent issues that threaten human health, not just the gender ratio of its staff."
生性秉直、刚直不阿的刘晓程从不会顺情说好话,更不会取悦他人。无论是在这位出身名门的挪威前首相面前,还是在美国前总统老布什面前,他都不失ー个炎黄子孙的人格与尊严。
Being naturally straightforward and uncompromising, Liu Xiaocheng never speaks something to please others, whether in front of Gro Harlem Brundtland, a former prime minister of Norway, or former US President George H.W. Bush. He always maintains his dignity and integrity as a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.
1997年,刘晓程受美国“艾森豪威尔外国高级访问学者基金会”之邀,随同中国首批30位著名中青年学者及管理者出访美国。美国为每位来访者出资4万美金,让其自定考察项目,任其在美国随便考察。说是考察,其实就是向来访者灌输美国价值观。两个月考察结束后,董事会主席老布什总统亲自出席考察结业式,并让每位来访者提ー个问题,由老布什来回答。
In 1997, Liu Xiaocheng was invited by the Eisenhower Fellowship Program to visit the United States along with the first group of 30 renowned young and middle-aged scholars and managers from China. The US government provided each visitor with $40,000 to conduct their own investigation projects and freely explore the US. This so-called investigation program was actually a way for visitors to absorb American values. After two months of investigation, President George H.W. Bush personally attended the closing ceremony and answered questions from each visitor.
刘晓程却给老布什出了道难题。他说:“总统先生,据我所知,美国年生产总值 10万亿美元,其中14. 5%用于卫生事业,但美国却有2200万国民没有医保。美国建国以来,宪法修改了 20多次,联邦宪法和很多州宪法在衣、食、住的基础上,又把教育列为基本人权。
Liu Xiaocheng posed a difficult question to President George H.W. Bush. He said, "Mr. President, as far as I know, the US has a GDP of 10 trillion dollars, with 14.5% allocated to healthcare. However, there are 22 million Americans without health insurance. Since the founding of the US, the constitution has been amended over 20 times. The federal and many state constitutions recognize education as a basic human right, along with food, clothing, accommodation and transport.
我赞同受教育权应是文明社会的基本人权,但不知总统先生如何看待教育与健康的顺位?如果教育是基本人权,那么健康更应是基本人权。没有健康,人们怎么接受教育?请问您如何看待这一问题?如何解释花这么多钱用于卫生事业,却有那么多国民得不到医疗保险问题。”
I agree that the right to receive education should be a basic human right in a civilized society, but I wonder how you, Mr. President, prioritize education and healthcare. If education is a basic human right, then healthcare should be even more so. Without health, how can people receive education? How do you explain spending so much money on healthcare and yet so many citizens still cannot access medical insurance?"
老布什向这位看上去温文尔雅却有着独立见解的中国人礼貌地笑了笑,说: “这个问题提得很好,确实是美国的实际情况。但我对卫生领域所知不多,您的问题我解答不了。很抱歉!”
President George H.W. Bush politely smiled at this Chinese scholar who is seemingly gentle yet with independent thinking, saying, "That's a very good question, and it is indeed a reality in the United States. However, I don't know much about healthcare, and I cannot answer your question. I'm sorry!"
刘晓程不但没有遭到排斥,反而成了最受欢迎的中国学者,后来成为美国“艾森豪威尔外国高级访问学者基金会”中国出访人员的考官及国际顾问委员会在中国邀请的唯一顾问。
Instead of being excluded, Liu Xiaocheng became the most popular Chinese scholar and later the examiner of the Eisenhower Fellowship Program for Chinese visitors and the only advisor to The International Advisory Committee (IAC) .
但是,布伦特兰女士不是老布什。世界卫生组织助理总干事的职位刘晓程落选了。后来得知,布伦特兰女士是一位女权主义者,但布伦特兰女士给刘晓程发来一封信,说她很敬佩刘晓程的人格和才干。
However, Ms. Gro Harlem Brundtland was not President George H.W. Bush. Liu Xiaocheng was not elected as the Assistant Director-General of the World Health Organization. It later turned out that Miss Brundtland was a feminist, but Ms. Gro Harlem Brundtland sent a letter to Liu Xiaocheng saying that she admired his personality and talent.
此刻的刘晓程,坐在中国医学科学院党委书记兼副院长的位置上,可以说要什么有什么,名誉、地位、专车、宽敞的住房,前呼后拥,风光无限,而且,只要他好好干,别出什么差错,卫生部副部长的位置在等着他呢
Now, Liu Xiaocheng is the Party Secretary and deputy director of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. He got anything he wants - prestige, status, luxury car, spacious housing, and endless admiration. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes in work, he is likely to be promoted to Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Health.
人们不禁要问:你刘晓程到底还要什么?你还有什么不满足的?你还折腾什么劲儿?
People can't help asking, "What else does Liu Xiaocheng want? What are you still not satisfied with? Why are you still strive for?"
一位政治家曾说,每个人都有自己的生存法则,只有读懂了他独特的生存法则,才能理解他人生的潮起潮落,云卷云舒;才能理解他所选择的山高路险,河流湍急。
蹉距岁月,留给他的并非都是蹉距.
A politician once said that everyone has his own way of survival, and only by understanding his unique way of survival can one understand the ups and downs of their life, and the challenges they chose.The years were not all wasted for him.
瞿秋白在牺牲前曾说:“光明和火焰从地心里钻出来的时候,难免要经过好几次的尝试,试探自己的道路,锻炼自己的力量。”
Qu Qiubai said before his sacrifice, "When light and fire drill out of the earth, they must go through several attempts to explore their path and train their strength."
ー个人的经历,决定着ー个人的情感与人生。
One's personal experiences determine their emotions and life.
1968年冬天,北国边陲黑龙江特别冷,零下42て,不少南方来的“知青”都冻坏了手脚。凌晨2点,正是老百姓称为“鬼駆牙”的时刻,在宝清县建设兵团853农场 21团一座最原始、最古老的石灰窑里,一群身穿黄棉袄的“知青”已经开始劳作了。
In the winter of 1968, it was especially cold in the northern border of Heilongjiang, reaching minus 42 degrees Celsius. Many "educated" youth from the south froze their hands and feet. At 2 o'clock in the morning, which the locals called "ghost hour," a group of "educated" youth wearing yellow cotton-padded jackets had already begun working in the most primitive and ancient lime kiln in the 21st regiment of the 853 farm of the Baqing County Production and Construction Corps.
那个年代能穿上黄棉袄是ー种荣耀,ー种革命的象征。唯有一个瘦弱的少年身穿一身黑棉袄。只见他第一个跳进刚出完石灰、滚烫的石灰窑里开始“平窑”。这种原始的石灰窑形状如同日本鬼子的炮楼,上面填石灰石和煤,下面出烧透的石灰。直径几米的上口既是进料口,又是烟囱。
In those days, wearing a yellow cotton-padded jacket was a symbol of honor and revolution. Only a thin and weak teenager wore a black cotton-padded jacket. He was the first to jump into the freshly produced lime and scorching hot kiln to start "leveling the kiln." This primitive lime kiln was shaped like a Japanese fort, with lime stones and coal piled on top and burned lime going out from the bottom. The top, with a diameter of several meters, was both the feeding port and the chimney. 所谓“平窑”,就是蹦到冒着火苗和浓烟的窑里,徒手把堆得小山似的石灰石码平。外面零下42て,窑里有五六十度, ー冷ー热,温差ー百多度。黑棉袄少年忍受着炼狱般的痛苦,拼カ码着石头。别人换班上去休息了,他却仍然继续干下去,直到把整个窑平完了,他オ筋疲カ尽地爬上窑顶。他的黑棉袄肩头蒙上一层厚厚的、汗水浸透的白花花的盐卤,刚发下来的皮手套磨出了窟窿,露出冒着血丝儿的十个指尖儿,ー碰就钻心般地疼痛。
"Leveling the kiln" meant jumping into the kiln, which was emitting flames and thick smoke, and using bare hands to flatten the pile of lime stones. While it was minus 42 degrees Celsius outside, the kiln was 50-60 degrees Celsius inside, with a temperature difference of more than 100 degrees Celsius. The teenager in the black cotton-padded jacket endured the hellish pain and worked hard to flatten the stones. While others took turns to rest, he continued to work until he leveled the entire kiln and climbed onto the top of the kiln, completely exhausted. His black cotton-padded jacket was covered with a thick layer of sweat-soaked white brine on his shoulders, and the newly leather gloves were worn out, revealing ten fingertips with blood-red blisters that throbbed with pain at the slightest touch.
苦难犹如手中的铁锤,而少年的身躯却像脚下的石头,在无数次的锤炼中变得无比坚强,就像他和战友们写在石灰窑上的《石灰吟》诗:“粉身碎骨浑不怕,要留清白在人间!”
Hardship is like a hammer in one's hand, but the teenager's body was like the stone under his feet, becoming incredibly strong after countless rounds of hammering, just like the poem "Song of the Lime" written by him and his comrades on the lime kiln: "Though broken into pieces, you will have no fright; You'll purify the world by washing it e'er white."

“文革”时期,头戴ー顶“黑五类”狗崽子的帽子,已经压得人喘不过气来,而这位少年居然戴了三顶帽子:爷爷是地主;父亲是“日本特务”兼“反动学术权威”。三次抄家,母亲被剃“鬼头”,父亲被关进“牛棚”。ー个好端端的知识分子之家,转眼就变得支离破碎了。
During the "Cultural Revolution," under the tittle of the "Five Black Categories" was already suffocating, but this teenager had three titles: his grandfather was a landlord, his father was a "Japanese spy" and “the reactionary academic authority”. After three rounds of house raids, his mother was shaved bald, and his father was thrown into the cow shed." The family, which was originally a well-established intellectual household, was suddenly torn apart.
接踵而至的打击,使高中还没有毕业的晓程感到十分痛苦。他极カ想用革命行动来证明自己是革命的,极カ想改变“黑五类”狗崽子的命运,就割破手指写成血书,强烈要求到生产建设兵团去改造自己。因为“黑五类”子女无权加入生产建设兵团,所以只能用血书自荐。然而,并非是血书起了作用,而是853农场21团宣传队需要一名手风琴手。当时能拉手风琴的凤毛麟角。少年晓程オ华横溢,聪慧过人,不仅拉一手好手风琴,还唱一手好歌。直到今天,他偶尔还会拉起心爱的手风琴唱起《三套车》呢。
A series of successive blows made Xiaocheng, who had not yet graduated from high school, feel very painful. He desperately wanted to prove himself as a revolutionary through revolutionary actions and wanted to change the fate of the "Five Black Categories". Thus, he cut his fingers and wrote a blood letter, strongly demanding to go to the Production and Construction Corps to transform himself. He could only apply through a blood letter, for the children of the "Five Black Categories" were not eligible to join the Production and Construction Corps. However, it was not the blood letter that worked, but rather the Propaganda Team of the 21st regiment of the 853 farm needed an accordionist. At that time, few people was able to play the accordion. Young Xiaocheng was talented and intelligent. He could not only play the accordion well but also sing well. Even today, he occasionally plays his beloved accordion and sings "San Tao Che".
他成了生产建设兵团里最下等的公民,一切脏活、累活非他莫属,烧石灰,打炮眼,淘粪,伐木头……然而,对ー个19岁的少年来说,更大的伤害并不是体力的透支,而是无休止的心灵打击。生产建设兵团的“知青”都是腰扎宽皮带,身穿黄棉袄,ー副准解放军的打扮,唯独他没有这个资格,他只能穿黑棉袄。853农场的宣传队员都可以载歌载舞,登台表演,唯独他一人只能躲在幕后为别人伴奏,不许登台露脸。而且有人监视着他的ー举ー动。
He became the lowest citizen in the Production and Construction Corps. All the dirty and tiring work was assigned to him, such as burning lime, handling explosives, shoveling manure, and cutting wood... However, for a 19-year-old young man, the greater harm was not the physical exhaustion but the endless spiritual blows. The "educated youth" in the Production and Construction Corps all dressed in wide leather belts and yellow cotton-padded jackets, a dress similar to that of the army, but he was not allowed to wear it. He could only wear a black cotton-padded jacket. All the members of the 853 Farm's propaganda team could sing and dance, and perform on stage, except for him who could only hide behind the scenes and accompany others, not allowed to perform on stage. And there was also someone watching his every move.
他那颗孤寂痛苦的心灵在蛮荒空旷的世界里,踽踽独行,无人为伴,找不到解脱,更找不到欢乐。
His lonely and painful heart wanders in the barren and desolate world, without companionship, unable to seek joy or liberation.
唯有一天劳动结束了,月亮升起来了,他背着自己心爱的手风琴来到郊外,尽情地拉起来。一群“知青”闻声而来,眼含泪水唱起了俄罗斯歌曲: “茫茫大草原,路途多遥远。有位马车夫,将死在草原……”歌声充满了悲凉与感伤。只有在这时,他心中的孤独与苦闷オ会随着琴声发泄出来,才能感受到人与人之间那份应有的平等与和谐。
Only when the day's work was done and the moon rose, he brought his beloved accordion to the outskirts where he could feel free to play it . Hearing the beautiful sound, a group of "educated youth" came over, singing a Russian song with tears in their eyes: "The vast grasslands, the road is long and far. A coachman is dying on the grassland..." The song was full of sadness and sentimentality. Only at this moment could he release his loneliness and frustration through the sound of the accordion, and feel the equality and harmony that should exist between people.
逆境能使人叛逆、颓废,也能使人迸发出无坚不摧的毅カ。像后来许多有成就的“知青”ー样,无论怎样艰难困苦,无论怎样受尽凌辱,他从没有气馁过。他心灵深处一直蕴藏着ー股岩浆般的激情。它渴望着喷发,渴望着人生的转机,苦苦地等待着机会。
Adversity can make people rebellious and decadent, but it can also ignite an unstoppable spirit in people. Like many successful "educated youth" later on, no matter how hard the situation is and no matter how much humiliation he had suffered, he never gave up. In the depths of his heart, a magma-like passion was always brewing. It longed to erupt and awaited a turning point in life with bitter patience.
他抓到ー切能抓到的书来读,《毛泽东选集》《国家与革命》《马克思的青年时代》……读得最多的是那本影响了几代人的《钢铁是怎样炼成的》。奥斯特洛夫斯基的那段名言影响了他一生:“人的一生应该这样度过,当他回首往事时,不因虚度年华而悔恨,也不因碌碌无为而羞耻……”
He grasped any books he could get access to, including Selected Works of Mao Tse-tung, State and Revolution, Karl Marx: The Early Years...But the one he has read the most was the book that had influenced several generations-----How the Steel Was Tempered. Nikolai Ostrovsky's famous quote influenced him for a lifetime: "The most precious thing is life and we only have life once. The person's life should be spent this way: When he looks back, he does not regret for wasted years, not because of mediocrity and shame ..."
蹉跎的岁月,没有尊严的生活,超出承受力的体能透支,把ー个天真少年抛到了人生的最底层,使他成为ー个逆境中的弱者,饱尝了底层人的艰辛与困苦,也饱尝了一个弱者的渺小与渴望,从而使他与底层百姓结下ー种深厚的、永远不可割舍的情感。
The years with camels, a life without dignity, and physical exhaustion beyond endurance, threw a naive young boy to the bottom of life, making him a weakling in adversity, experiencing the hardships and difficulties of the bottom people, as well as the smallness and aspirations of a weakling, thereby forming a deep and unbreakable emotional bond with the common people.
这段生活影响了他的一生,也决定了他的一生。
This period of life has influenced his entire life and determined his destiny.
这也是他屡屡做出惊人之举,向自己、向医疗体制提出挑战的原因之一。他的心是属于平民百姓的,任何官位与金钱都无法撼动他的初衷。
This is also one of the reasons why he has done something extraordinary again and again and challenged himself and the healthcare system. His heart belongs to the common people, and no official position or money can shake his original intention.
闪光的“琉璃塔”,却包裹着ー颗痛苦的灵魂
The shining "Glass Tower" conceals a painful soul.
艾森豪威尔曾说过这样的话:“我们切不可把短暂的人生都放在无谓的名利上,不可把浮躁和骚动强加给我们生命的宝贵时光。”
As Eisenhower once said: "We should not waste our short lives on meaningless fame and fortune, nor should we impose fickleness and turmoil on the precious time of our lives."
在刘晓程看来,中国改革开放20多年来,其他行业都在突飞猛进地发展,医疗卫生事业却一直裹足不前。老百姓看病难、手术难的根本问题没有得到解决。
In Liu Xiaocheng's view, the healthcare industry has been lagging behind in the past 20 years of China's reform and opening up while other industries have made rapid progress . The fundamental problems of difficult access to medical treatment and surgery for the general public have not been resolved.
就拿心血管病来说,全国有400多万心血管病人需要手术,每年仅能手术四五万例, 只占百分之一ニ。而且,药品层层扒皮,吃回扣,从药厂卖到老百姓手里要翻上几倍、几十倍,甚至上百倍。
Taking cardiovascular disease as an example, there are over 4 million cardiovascular patients in China who need surgery, but only 40-50,000 surgeries can be performed each year, accounting for only 1-2% of the total. Moreover, drugs are marked up layer by layer, with kickbacks being taken at each level, so the price of medicine can be several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times higher from the factory to the hands of the people.
得一次感冒,没有几百元休想治好;住一次院,没有几千元、上万元就别想出院;医生对病人开大处方,大检查;你头痛,就让你做CT,做核磁共振,说怀疑是肿瘤,你不敢不做;你嗓子痛,就给你开几百元的药;你要手术,除了支付昂贵的费用,还要给医生送红包,少则几千,多则上万……
If you catch a cold, you cannot be cured without spending several hundred yuan; if you get hospitalized, you cannot be discharged without spending several thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan. Doctors prescribe large amounts of medication and tests for patients; if you have a headache, you will be told that it might be a tumor and asked to do a CT scan and an MRI, which you dare not to refuse; If you have a sore throat, you are prescribed several hundred yuan worth of medication; If you need surgery, in addition to paying expensive medical bills, you also need to give a red envelope to the doctor, which can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.....
有的医院不愿收医保病人,因为医保是后付款,愿意收现金;不愿收疑难病患者,怕担风险。有的医院为病人做心脏造影,居然连“备皮”都不做。有的医生竟然给心绞痛病人打杜冷丁止痛。
Some hospitals are unwilling to accept patients with medical insurance because medical insurance is paid after treatment, thus they prefer cash payments; some are also unwilling to accept patients with difficult-to-treat conditions, for fear of risk. Some don't even prepare properly for patients undergoing heart imaging tests. Even some doctors give angina patients Pethidine for pain relief.
老百姓说,去医院看一次病,半夜三更去排队挂号,楼上楼下ー顿折腾,没病也气（急）出病来了。而且,中国享受医保的人数只占全国人口的8% ,92%的下岗工人、个体户、8亿农民都不能享受医保。
Patients complain that going to the hospital for treatment means queuing for registration late into the night. The constant commotion from upstairs and downstairs is frustrating, even causing illness when one wasn't initially sick. Moreover, only 8% of the country's population enjoys medical insurance, while 92% of laid-off workers, self-employed individuals, and 800 million farmers cannot enjoy medical insurance.
医生收红包已经成了极普遍的现象,成了行规,不给红包医生就不高兴,患者也提心吊胆,怕医生给自己小命“穿小鞋”。一名主刀“名医” 一年可以成为百万富翁。可想想那些穷苦农民和下岗工人,省吃俭用、卖房卖地,甚至卖血凑的一点儿血汗钱,花着昂贵的医疗费不算,还要给医生送“红包”。有的穷苦农民,卖房卖地还不够给医生送红包的呢。
It has become extremely common for doctors to receive red envelopes. Even it has become a norm. If a doctor doesn't receive a red envelope, he or she will get upset, and patients are also worried that doctors will harm them. A famous lead surgeon can become a millionaire in a year. Imagine those poor farmers and laid-off workers who have sold their houses, their land, and even their blood but could only scrape together a little bit of money. Except for the expensive medical bills, they even have to give doctors "red envelopes." Some poor farmers can't even afford to give doctors a red envelope by selling their houses and lands.
这哪是让老百姓治病,分明是让老百姓“致穷”,要老百姓的命嘛!这种不顾脸面、不顾尊严、明目张胆的索要行为,哪还是什么救死扶伤的“白衣天使”?简直就是趁火打劫的强盗!
This is not even curing patients, but making people poor and even taking their lives! This kind of shameless, dignity-ignoring, and blatant solicitation behavior is not what a "white angel" who saves lives and heals the wounded should do. Only a robber who takes advantage of people in distress would do that!
悲哀呀,我的同行们!刘晓程不禁发出悲愤的慨叹:从希波克拉底到李时珍, 古今中外,历来都崇尚医学,尊重大夫,救死扶伤从来都是有灵魂的人从事的事业。为什么到了我们这一代,却变得这般见钱眼红,这般不近人情了?
It's sad, my fellow colleagues! Liu Xiaocheng couldn't help letting out a sigh with sadness and indignation: From Hippocrates to Li Shizhen, throughout history and at home and abroad, medicine has always been revered, doctors have been respected, and saving lives and healing the wounded has always been a profession pursued by people with souls. Why has our generation become so unkind and obsessed with money ?
但是,刘晓程绝非ー个只看现象不看本质的肤浅之辈。他觉得一味地谴责医生收“红包”并不公平。几次全国人大会议都提出了医生收红包问题,可有谁透析过“红包”现象形成的原因?有谁了解过医生的付出与收获的严重失衡,以及“红包”背后所蕴藏的深刻的社会问题?
However, Liu Xiaocheng is not a shallow person who only looks at appearances and not the essence. He believes that it is not fair to simply condemn doctors for receiving "red envelopes." The phenomenon of doctors receiving red envelopes has been raised several times at the National People's Congress, but has anyone analyzed the reasons behind the "red envelopes" phenomenon? Has anyone tried to explore the serious imbalance between the doctor's efforts and rewards, as well as the profound social problem behind the phenomenon?
刘晓程认为,“红包”现象是医疗体制造成的。人所共知,早在20世纪80年代就出现了“脑体倒挂”的民谣:“搞导弹的不如卖茶叶蛋的,操手术刀的不如操剃头刀的。”
Liu Xiaocheng thinks that the "red envelopes" phenomenon is caused by the healthcare system. It is well known that as early as the 1980s, there was a folk song of misrepresentation: "Those who develop missiles are not as wealthy as those who sell tea eggs, and those who wield surgical knives are not as wealthy as those who wield barber knives."
20世纪90年代以来,改革开放使多少人富得流油,一名歌星的出场费高达几万元,甚至几十万;一个房地产开发商转眼就腰缠百万、千万,甚至上亿元;一名大权在握的官员不贪不占,也有大把大把的额外进项,更不用说那些灰色收入了。
Since the 1990s, the reform and opening up has made many people rich . The appearance fee of a singer can be as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, a real estate developer can become a millionaire or even a billionaire in the blink of an eye. Even an official in a position of power can have plenty of extra income without being greedy or taking advantage, not to mention those gray income.
可是,一位拯救他人生命的主任医师,月工资不过3000元。这个收入远远低于世界其他国家,连亚非拉一般发展中国家都不如,只高于亚洲个别社会主义国家。中国医生吃的是草,挤的却是奶。他们拿着微薄的收入,却要承担救死扶伤的天职。
However, a chief physician who saves lives earns a salary of only 3,000 yuan per month. This income is far lower than that of the rest of the world and is lower than that of the average developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and only higher than that of a few socialist countries in Asia. Chinese doctors live on meager incomes, but shoulder a heavy responsibility of saving lives and helping the wounded. 医生也是人,也要生存,也要生儿育女赡养老人,也要生活,他们为什么不能像别人ー样富起来?他们心理能平衡吗?医生收“红包”是他们兜里空,患者送“红包”是为了买安全。
Doctors are also human beings, they also need to survive, have children and support their elderly parents. Why can't they become wealthy like others? Do they think it is fair? Doctors receive "red envelopes" because of their meager income , and patients give "red envelopes" to buy safety.
刘晓程觉得,“红包”现象只是我国医疗卫生体制浮出水面的冰山一角。改革 20多年来,我国医疗卫生体制远远滞后于社会发展,存在着严重的问题。13亿老百姓对此怨声载道,600万医务工作者更是满腹牢骚。
Liu Xiaocheng believes that the "red envelope" phenomenon is only the tip of the iceberg of the problems of China's medical and health system. In the more than 20 years since the reform, China's medical and health system has lagged far behind social development and has serious problems. The 1.3 billion people in China are full of complaints about this, and the 6 million medical workers are even more dissatisfied.
他觉得,首先政府对公立医院定性不准,是建立福利型、公益型的医院,还是建立福利加公益型的医院?没有明确定性,使公立医院处于两难的尴尬境地。
He believes that first of all, the government has not properly defined public hospitals, whether they should be welfare-oriented, public-interest-oriented, or both. The lack of clarity puts public hospitals in a dilemma.
加拿大、英国、澳大利亚、新加坡等发达国家,实行全民医保,病人住院连伙食费都有补助。而我国政府对公立医院的投入,除退休职エエ资外,只够发在岗员エ 20%的エ资。院长难为无米之炊,只好向职工宣布:“你们的工资和奖金只能由你们自己去挣!”这种明显的利益驱动机制,必然导致内行哄外行、采购吃回扣、医生收“红包”、医院坑病人的局面!而且,公立医院大多都背着沉重的包袱,许多医疗单位的冗员多达三分之一。
Developed countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore have implemented Universal health coverage , with subsidies for patients' meals during hospitalization. However, the Chinese government's investment in public hospitals, apart from retirement benefits, can only covers 20% of the salaries of on-duty staff. Unable to pay the salary, hospital directors are forced to declare to their employees, "You have to earn your own salary and bonuses!" Such an obvious profit-driven mechanism inevitably leads to the situation where insiders cheat the layman, procurement involves kickbacks, doctors receive "red envelopes," and hospitals swindle patients. Moreover, most public hospitals carry a heavy burden, with up to one-third staff of medical units being redundant.

其次,政府对医疗卫生重视不够,投入太少。
Secondly, the government has not paid enough attention to healthcare and has invested too little.
按照世界健康的社会形态,政府对医疗卫生的投入应该随着国民经济的发展, 形成逐年上升的趋势,而在中国却恰恰相反,政府对医疗卫生的投入是越来越低。
According to the social norms of world health, government investment in healthcare should increase every year along with the development of the national economy. However, in China, it is the opposite.Government investment in healthcare is decreasing.
去年“非典”过后,新任卫生部部长吴仪在全国卫生工作会议上讲道:“改革开放以来,我国卫生事业费占财政支出的比重逐年下降,已由20世纪80年代的平均 3.1%下降到2002年的1.7%,大大低于发达国家,也低于大多数发展中国家。
After the SARS outbreak last year, the new Minister of the Ministry Health, Wu Yi, said in a national healthcare conference, "Since the reform and opening-up, the proportion of healthcare expenditures in the government budget has been decreasing year by year, from an average of 3.1% in the 1980s to 1.7% in 2002, which is much lower than that of developed countries and most developing countries.
2001年,在世界卫生组织191个成员国中,我国政府人均卫生投入占卫生总费用的比重居第131位。1995年,全国疾病预防控制机构的支出中,财政拨款占75. 2% ； 2002年,这ー比重下降到41.7% 。我国政府的卫生投入不适应公共卫生发展的需要。美国对医疗卫生的投入占国民生产总值的15%,加拿大占9%,日本占7%,就连许多发展中国家都远远高于中国。
In 2001, among the 191 member countries of the World Health Organization, China ranked 131st in terms of government per capita healthcare investment as a proportion of total healthcare expenditures. In 1995, government funding accounted for 75.2% of the national disease prevention and control agency's expenditures. In 2002, this proportion decreased to 41.7%. Chinese government's healthcare investment is inadequate to meet the needs of public health development. The United States invests 15% of its GDP in healthcare, Canada invests 9%, Japan invests 7%, and even many developing countries invest more than China.
而且,我国的医疗资源严重不足,却又存在着严重的浪费现象。
Furthermore, there is a severe shortage of medical resources in China, and there is also serious waste.
国家对城市建设、街道布局都有明确的规划,但对医院建设却没有统ー规划。仅北京东单地区,不足5平方公里,却设有协和、北京、同仁等三大医院。而且,中央各大部委、中央党校等单位,都建起漂亮的、配有高档医疗设施的医院（而不是卫生所）。
The country has clear planning for urban construction and street layout, but there is no unified planning for hospital construction. In the Dongdan region of Beijing alone, which is less than 5 square kilometers, but boasts three major hospitals, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing Hospital, and Beijing Tongren Hospital. Moreover, units like central ministries, the Party School of the Central Committee of CPC, have built beautiful hospitals with high-end medical facilities instead of clinics.
这些医院的利用率很低,大多都在低水平上重复。这还不够,人们正在以更快的速度在北京疯狂地建医院。按北京现有的医疗状况,每千人所拥有的床位、大夫、核磁共振等医疗设施,超过了亚洲四小龙。
These hospitals have low utilization rates. Furthermore, people are building hospitals in Beijing at an even faster rate. According to Beijing's current medical situation, the number of beds, doctors, and medical equipment, such as MRI, that per thousand people have exceeds that of the Four Asian Tigers.
但在边远地区却存在着严重的缺医少药现象。在发达国家,国家配备的医疗机构往往是塔形的,除了国家中心医院,社区要配备ー、二级医院,病人可根据病情去医院就诊,而不会出现感冒、发烧也去协和排队了。
However, there is a severe shortage of medical resources in remote areas. In developed countries, national medical institutions are usually arranged in a pyramid structure, and in addition to national central hospitals, communities should be equipped with first- and second-level hospitals. Patients can choose different hospitals based on their conditions so that they do not need to wait in line at top hospitals like Peking Union Medical College Hospital for a common cold or fever.
再次,国家没有自己的医药科エ委,国家对民族医药业支持力度不够,致使大量昂贵的洋药、洋器械涌入中国市场,大大地加重了老百姓的负担。
In addition, China lacks its own pharmaceutical committee, and the support from the government towards the traditional Chinese medicine industry is insufficient, which has resulted in a large influx of expensive foreign drugs and medical equipment into the Chinese market, significantly increasing the burden on ordinary people.
ー个进口冠状动脉球囊扩张管要上万元,ー个冠状动脉支架高达一至三万元, ー个心脏瓣膜要两万元,ー个心脏起搏器最贵的高达十几万……有人为了拿回扣, 极カ帮助外商促销,使中国的药厂被挤垮,使本来就虚高的药价越发虚高。
For example, a imported NC Traveler RX Coronary Dilatation Catheter costs over 10,000 yuan, a coronary stent costs between one to three ten thousand yuan, a heart valve costs 20,000 yuan, and the most expensive pacemaker costs over 100,000 yuan. Some people even help foreign companies promote their products in order to receive kickbacks, causing Chinese pharmaceutical factories to collapse and driving up the already inflated drug prices.
心脏病人做一次支架或搭桥,少则四五万,多则十几万。想想,中国的老百姓能吃饱肚子才几年?有的地区至今连温饱都没解决,他们怎么能消费得起这些与国情极不相称、只有发达国家才能消费的洋器材、洋药品? 一个月收入不过几百元的普通家庭,几万元对他们来说意味着什么?意味着卖房卖地、东挪西借,一家老小背上几十年的外债过日子!
A heart patient's cost for a stent or a bypass surgery ranges from 40,000 to over 100,000 yuan.Think about it, how many years can China's ordinary people get enough to eat? In some areas, they haven't even solved the clothing and food problems. How can they afford these foreign medical equipment and medicines that are extremely incompatible with China's national situation and are only affordable to developed countries? For an average family with a monthly income of only a few hundred yuan, tens of thousands of yuan means they have to sell their house, borrow from relatives and friends, and carry decades of debt so as to get by.
昂贵的药品,昂贵的器材,再加上不菲的“红包”，“三座大山”压在中国老百姓头上,有多少人被压得喘不过气来?又有多少本来就一贫如洗的家庭,雪上加霜, 越发穷得叮当响?又有多少人被疾病折磨得家破人亡?
Expensive drugs and medical equipment, along with generous red envelopes, facing this "three heavy burdens", how many people are struggling to breathe under this pressure? How many poor families are becoming even poorer? How many people have died and how many family has fallen apart from illness ?
中国有强大的国防科エ委。我们可以让火箭上天,宇宙飞船遨游太空。中国已经成为世界第一电话大国、第六经济大国、世人瞩目的军事强国,可我们为什么不能成立医药科工委,让中国老百姓享受物美价廉的国产医药产品?
China has a powerful Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. We can launch rockets into space and send spacecraft to explore the universe. Moreover, China has become the world's largest telephone country, the sixth largest economy, and a military powerhouse that attracts global attention. Why can't we establish a Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for Medicine and let the Chinese people enjoy cheep and cheerful domestically-produced medical products?
刘晓程觉得,政府对医疗卫生事业的管理,只存在自由竞争,没有宏观调控,没有形成有效的医疗保障体系。目前,农村合作医疗被挤垮,卫生防疫站形同虚设, ー些传染病又卷土重来,成为百万群众的大敌。
Liu Xiaocheng thinks that the government's management of the healthcare industry only allows free competition while lacks macro control and an effective medical security system. Currently, Rural cooperative medical scheme (RCMS) has been squeezed out, and Epidemic Prevention Station are weak or non-existent. Some infectious diseases have made a comeback, posing a major threat to millions of people.
中国的地方病防治机构大部分都已取消,而各地的地方病却仍然相当严重。中国的艾滋病人数已引起世界的高度关注,仅河南就有38个“艾滋村”。中国艾滋病的发展趋势已经到了决战临界点, 如果再控制不住,其后果不堪设想……这ー系列的问题不能不令人担忧。
Most of China's local disease prevention and control institutions have been canceled, but local diseases in various regions are still quite serious. The number of AIDS patients in China has attracted global attention, with 38 "AIDS villages" in Henan alone. The trend of AIDS in China has reached a critical point, and if it cannot be controlled, the consequences will be unimaginable. These series of problems are worrying.
刘晓程觉得,中国的医疗卫生体制是中国最滞后、最需要改革的领域之一。它就像ー辆老朽的牛车,在万马奔腾的大好形势下慢悠悠地转着,承受着老百姓怨声载道的唾骂与责怪,丝毫没有进展。几年前,曾发生过这样的事,中央政府就医疗卫生改革问题让各部委提出方案,八大部委对中国卫生体制都提出了提案,唯有卫生部本身没有提案。
Liu Xiaocheng thinks that China's healthcare system made no progress even when bearing the complaints and blames of the people. It is now one of the most backward and in urgent need of reform. A few years ago, the central government asked ministries to propose plans for medical and health care reform. The Eight Grand Ministries proposed plans for China's healthcare system, but the Ministry of Health itself did not propose any.
刘晓程觉得医疗卫生关系到国计民生,关系到国家的安全稳定,关系到老百姓生存的基本权利,关系到老百姓的生死存亡,弄不好,是要死人的。他虽然身在高位,却不是一个唯“官”是从的人。面对医疗卫生界的弊端,身为中国医学科学院党委书记兼副院长的他,觉得自己有责任、有义务向上级反映。因此,他多次向卫生部、向中央有关领导进谏。
Liu Xiaocheng believes that medical and health care is related to the national economy and well-being, national security and stability, people’s basic rights and their lives. If not handled properly, people will die. Although he is in a high position, he is not a person who only listens to "officials." Faced with the drawbacks of the medical and healthcare fields, as the Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, he feels responsible and obligated to report to the higher authorities. Therefore, he has repeatedly put forward relevant proposals to the Ministry of Health and relevant leaders of the central government.
他提出:国家应该加强对医疗卫生的宏观调控,建立明确的医疗卫生保障体系;政府对公立医院应该有明确的定性,不应把公立医院变成商业性医院,商业操作必然导致医院坑病人、医生骗患者的局面;政府应加大对医疗卫生的投入,改变目前这种远远落后于发达国家、连许多发展中国家都不如的局面。
He proposes that the government should strengthen macro-control over healthcare, establish a definitive healthcare security system; the government should have a clear definition for public hospitals and not turn them into commercial hospitals. Commercial operations will inevitably lead to problems like hospitals cheating patients and doctors taking advantage of the sick; the government should increase investment in healthcare and change the current situation that China's healthcare far behind developed countries and even many developing countries.
国家穷,没有那么多资金投入,可以增加吃、喝、玩、乐等娱乐业及房地产暴利的税收,用来解决国民的医疗卫生问题;国家应该成立医药科エ委,支持民族医药业的发展。医疗卫生的改革是“ 一把手的工程”,只有中央政府高度重视,痛下决心,从上而下地进行改革,中国的医疗卫生才能真正启动改革机制,才能改变老百姓看病贵、手术难的现状,才能造福于百姓,将纳税人的钱返回到纳税人身上。
If a country is poor and short of funds, it can increase taxes on profiteering industries like entertainment industries that focuses on eating, drinking, and relaxing and real estate industries so as to solve the healthcare problems of the people. A Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for Medicine should be established to support the development of ethnic medicine. Healthcare reform is a " A High Priority Project". Only when the central government attaches great importance, makes a painful decision, and carries out top-down reforms can China's healthcare truly start the reform mechanism, change the current situation of expensive medical treatment and inaccessibility to surgeries, benefit the people, and return taxpayers' money to taxpayers.
高度的社会责任感强烈地呼唤着他、驱使着他,使他ー次次做出了非同寻常的惊人之举。
The strong sense of social responsibility strongly calls for him, driving him to make extraordinary and amazing feats again and again.
2000年4月28日,身为中国医学科学院、中国协和医科大学党委书记、副院长、副校长的刘晓程,同中国医学科学院、中国协和医科大学院长和校长ー起,联名向主抓医疗卫生的国务院副总理上书,向副总理当面反映原卫生部某领导“抵制卫生系统教育管理体制改革;对卫生领域的科技体制改革能拖就拖;任人唯亲,不公平正派;沽名钓誉;搞非组织活动;对违法乱纪者姑息养奸,使中国医学科学院和协和医科大学体制改革无法进行”等诸多问题。
As Party Secretary and Deputy director of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Vice President of Peking Union Medical College, Liu Xiaocheng, together with presidents of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, jointly wrote to
Vice Premier in charge of medical and health care, reporting to him in person about the ideological style problems of some former leader in the Ministry of Health such as "resisting the reform of the education management system in the healthcare system, delaying the reform of the scientific and technological system in the medical and health field, cronyism, unfairness, fishing for fame and compliments, engaging in non-organizational activities, and tolerating and conniving with malfeasants, which have made it impossible for the system reform of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College to proceed".
他们在信中最后写道:“如果XX X 部长这样对待中国的卫生事业又得不到限制和纠正,我们二人唯一的选择是共同愤然辞职,以谢天下!”
In the letter, they wrote, "If Minister XX continues to treat China's health care system in this way and fails to be restricted and corrected, our only choice is to resign as an apology to the world!"
刘晓程对副总理直言不讳地讲道:“有些人不是以天下社稷为己任,而是’唯上唯书不唯实’。长此下去,中国的医疗卫生事业非毁在这些人手里不可!中国的医疗事业已经到了非改革不可的时候了!”
后来发生的ー系列事情,充分证明了他的正确性。
Liu Xiaocheng spoke frankly to the Vice Premier: "Some people do not take the country and the people as their own responsibility, but only focus on their own interests. If this continues, China's healthcare industry will be ruined by these people! China's healthcare industry has reached a point where reform is necessary!"
Subsequently, a series of events proved his words.
2003年,中国爆发了震惊世界的“非典”,令中国政府及国人猛醒。卫生部部长被撤职。“非典”过后,政府亡羊补牢,增加投入,但仍然没有从根本上解决问题。多少有识之士发出强烈呼吁:“中国爆发’非典’是偶然中的必然。中国必须加强医疗体制的改革!”
In 2003, China experienced the shocking "SARS" epidemic, which awakened the Chinese government and people. The Minister of the Ministry of Health was dismissed from his position. After the SARS epidemic, the government increased investment to address the problem, but the issue was not fundamentally resolved. Many insightful individuals appealed strongly: "The SARS outbreak in China was inevitable accident. China must strengthen the reform in healthcare system!"
2003年12月17日,《参考消息》转载美国《时代》周刊一篇题为《世界卫生组织官员认为中国公共卫生系统需要改革》的文章写道:“联合国1998年的调查发现,中国贫困线以下的人口中,不少人因为曾经生过ー场大病致贫”，“全国4000个基层防疫中心要自己提供50%以上的预算,而在其他多数国家,类似机构都是由国家出资”，“许多在毛泽东时期已经基本得到控制的传染病现在又重新抬头,肺结核、乙肝等传染病现在又开始扩散。
In December 17, 2003, "Reference News" reprinted an article from the US magazine Time titled "WHO Officials Believe China's Public Healthcare System Needs Reform". The article stated that "In 1998，an UN investigation found that many people living below the poverty line in China fell into poverty because they had suffered from serious illnesses", "4000 grassroots epidemic prevention center in the country have to provide more than 50% of their budget themselves, while in most other countries, similar institutions are funded by the state", "many infectious diseases that had been largely controlled during the Mao Tse-tung era have now resurfaced, and diseases such as tuberculosis and hepatitis B are now spreading again."
现在中国有5%的人是乙肝病毒携带者,而在美国只有1%。世界卫生组织2000年的ー份报告显示,191个成员国中,中国的医疗体系排名第144位,落后于印度尼西亚和孟加拉。中国卫生部统计显示,去年中国有81万人感染了血吸虫病,几乎比1988年增加了一倍”，“在中国的所有国际组织都发出了明确信号:中国的公共卫生系统需要改革。但是迄今为止,我们还没有看到任何回应。”
In China, 5% of the population are carriers of the Hepatitis B virus, compared to only 1% in the United States. According to a report by the World Health Organization in 2000, China's healthcare system ranked 144th out of 191 member countries, behind Indonesia and Bangladesh. According to statistics from The Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China, last year 810,000 people were infected with schistosomiasis in China, nearly doubling the number in 1988. "All international organizations in China have sent a clear message: China's public health system needs reform. But so far, we have not seen any response."
2003年,国务院颁布了《突发公共卫生事件应急条例》《中医药条例》《医疗废物管理条例》《乡村医生从业管理条例》……
In 2003, the State Council issued Regulation on the Urgent Handling of Public Health Emergencies, Chinese Medicine Ordinance, Regulations on the Administration of Medical Wastes, Regulation on the Administration of the Practice of Rural Doctors, and more.
温家宝总理上任不久就说:“要把群众看病贵、看病难的问题当作本届政府的ー项重要工作。”
Premier Wen Jiabao said shortly after taking office: "Treating the high cost of medical treatment and difficulty of seeing a doctor as one of the key tasks of this government."
这一切,都印证了刘晓程三年前的呼吁。但在当时,他提出的许多建议、多次进谏,都在毫无反馈的时光中无声无息地消失了。他只能发出无奈的感叹:“难哪！医疗界的改革太难了！”
All of this confirms Liu Xiaocheng's appeal three years ago. However, at that time many of his suggestions and proposals received no response. Helplessly, he could sigh : "It's difficult to promote reform in the medical community.
邓小平同志曾说过:“经济体制改革必须和政治体制改革同步。”中国医疗体制的改革必须涉及政治体制改革。这远远不是ー个刘晓程所能改变的。
Comrade Deng Xiaoping once said: "Economic system reform must be synchronized with political system reform." The reform of China's healthcare system must involve political system reform, which is not something that Liu Xiaocheng can change.

他感到自己虽然坐在中国医学科学院党委书记兼副院长的位置上,但他仍然是棋盘上的ー个小卒。尽管他使出浑身解数,可他瘦弱的肩膀仍然推不动这部陈旧的机器,因此陷入难以名状的苦闷之中。他觉得自己下过乡,当过“黑五类”,饱尝过蹉駝岁月之磨难,也留过洋,受过中央总书记接见,与美国总统座谈过,大荣大辱都领教过,到了这把年龄,一切都看淡了 ,唯独看不淡的是那份为人为医的天职。
He felt that even though he sat in the position of the Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, he was still a small pawn on the chessboard. Despite his best efforts, his weak shoulders were still unable to move this outdated machine, thus he fell into an indescribable state of depression. He was once set down to the countryside, being labeled as the "Five Black Categories" and endured the hardships of life. He had also studied abroad, met with the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and had discussions with the President of the United States. At this age, he had become indifferent to everything, except for his unwavering dedication to the medical profession.
古语说,不为良相则为良医。他觉得中国的医疗改革,任重而道远,自己已经 51岁了,再这样耗下去实在耗不起,与其整天在文山会海、接来送往的繁杂琐事中空耗生命,莫不如趁自己还有足够的体力和精力,做点儿カ所能及的事,为中国的卫生事业闯出一条新路,为饱受病痛折磨的心血管病人带来一点儿福音,也算不枉活一生。自己瘦弱的肩膀既然推不动事业的发展,就下去建一所梦想中的医院,用实际行动去为老百姓造点儿福吧。
As the old saying goes, if one cannot become a good prime minister, one should become a good doctor. Liu felt that the healthcare reform in China was a long and arduous task. But he is already 51, he could not afford to waste any more time on endless paperwork and trivial matters. Instead of wasting his life on these things, he wanted to use his remaining strength and energy to do something he could, to find a new way for China's healthcare system and bring some good news to the patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases. It would not be a waste of life if he could build his dream hospital with his weak shoulders, and bring benefits to the common people through his practical actions.
2000年12月31日,当人们沉浸在新千年到来的喜悦之中,一个知天命之人却站在新旧千年的交叉路口上,迎着扑面而来的千年之风,向卫生部正式提出:第一辞去一切官职,第二要求提前退休。因为只辞职不退休,还要受人事制度约束,不能随便离开单位易地工作。
于是,他再一次向自己、向传统观念、向医疗体制发出了挑战。
On December 31, 2000, while people were immersed in the joy of the arrival of the new millennium, a person who understood his destiny stood at the crossroads of the old and new millenniums, facing the strong wind of the new century and proposing to the Ministry of Health that he asked for resignation from all his official positions, and requested an early retirement. Because if he only resigned without retiring, he would still be constrained by the personnel system and could not easily leave his unit for work elsewhere.
Thus, he once again posed challenges to himself, traditional concepts, and the healthcare system.
从中央到下属的各级组织,纷纷向他发出挽留与恳谈。但,一切努力都是枉然。领导和员エ们,为他举行了盛大的告别宴会。
Organizations at all levels, from the central to the subordinate, sent him requests to stay and pleas to reconsider. However, all efforts were in vain. As a result, the leaders and employees had to hold a grand farewell party for him.
临走前,他把所有的荣誉证书付之一炬。帮他收拾东西的党办主任看到这么多国家级的荣誉证书化为灰烬,十分心疼,几次呼喊着从火堆里抢出来:“哎呀,这是全国先进工作者证书,烧了多可惜呀「’
Before leaving, he set fire to all his certificates of honor. The Director of the Party Office who helped him pack saw so many national-level certificates turn to ashes, feeling heartbroken. He had tried several times to save them from the flames, shouting " Oh my God, this is the certificate for national advanced worker, it's such a pity to burn it! "
刘晓程却说:“留着它有什么用?过眼烟云,什么都没用了。”他只让党办主任留下ー个蓝色医疗证;这个留着,等我得大病的时候用。”
But Liu Xiaocheng said, "What's the use of keeping them? It only belongs to the past and now it's useless." He only let the Director of the Party Officekeep the blue medical certificate, saying, "Keep this, I'll use it if I get seriously ill."
无官一身轻,万岁老百姓。
Without any official position, he is now free as a common people.
2001年元月,ー个挣脱了体制束缚、摆脱了功名利禄、打碎了世俗桎梏的人, 迎着新千年的曙光,气宇轩昂地走出了办公室,目送他的是一片惋惜而又充满敬佩的目光……
In January 2001, a man who had broken free from the shackles of the system, freed himself from fame and fortune, and shattered the shackles of convention, walked out of his office under the dawn of the new millennium. Everyone watched him away with regret and admiration...
在当今这物欲横流的世界里,有几人能够抵住官位的诱惑,又有几人能挡住金钱的吸引?反之,为金钱和官位折腰,甚至断送性命的人,却如雨后春笋,屡禁不绝。相比之下,我们不能不为刘晓程超凡的人生境界而赞美、而叫好,而献上一束鲜花了。
In today's world of materialism, how many people can resist the temptation of official positions, and how many can resist the lure of money? On the contrary, people who bow to money and power, for which some even cost their lives, are as common as mushrooms after rain, and are difficult to eradicate. In comparison, we cannot help praising and applauding Liu Xiaocheng's extraordinary life state, and offer him a bouquet of flowers.
我可以丢掉一切,唯独丟不下病人
"I can give up everything, except for my patients,"
刘晓程说:“我上辈子可能欠别人的太多,这辈子来偿还了。” 他从澳大利亚留学归来时,就梦想有一天在中国的土地上创建一所世界一流的心血管病医院,让国人也享受世界一流的医疗服务,从而实现自己“博爱、济贫” 的抱负。
Liu Xiaocheng said, "Maybe I owed someone too much in my previous life, and I have to repay it in this life." When he returned from studying in Australia, he dreamed of building a world-class cardiovascular hospital in China so that the Chinese people could enjoy world-class medical services and realize his ambition of "Universal Love and charity."
然而,岁月沧桑,花开花落,梦想一直还是梦想,转眼年过半百,但他心中的梦想并未因时光的流逝而泯灭。辞官以后,他决心要实现这个梦。他很快就遇到了知音,天津市委、市政府,天津开发区管委会的几位领导全力支持他提出的宏大构想一在天津经济技术开发区（英文字头缩写TEDA,简称“泰达”）创建一座世界一流的国际心血管病医院。
However, time passed, flowers bloomed and withered, and the dream remained a dream. As he turned fifty, his dream had not been extinguished by the passage of time. After resigning from his official position, he was determined to realize this dream. He soon found a kindred spirit, and several leaders of the Tianjin Party committee, Tianjin People's Government, and the Administrative Committee of Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (abbreviated as TEDA) fully supported his grand idea of building a world-class international cardiovascular hospital in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (abbreviated as TEDA) .
企盼十几年的梦,终于可以实现了。
After more than a decade of anticipation, the dream can finally come true.
52岁的他,完全沉浸在实现梦想的兴奋中。就像14年前到牡丹江一样,他以超人的精力,火一般的激情,率领几十名职エ,ー边借天津开发区医院的房舍开展心脏手术,ー边创建心血管病医院。
At the age of 52, Liu is completely immersed in the excitement of realizing his dream. Just like 14 years ago when he went to Mudanjiang, he led dozens of medical professionals with his superhuman energy and fiery passion to perform heart surgeries on the premises of the Tianjin Development Area Hospital, while establishing the cardiovascular hospital
“这两年是空前的辛苦,却是空前的欣慰厂’这是刘晓程最深切的感受。
“These two years have been extremely hard, but also extremely fulfilling," This is the deepest feeling of Liu Xiaocheng.
2002年10月末的一天傍晚,秋风瑟瑟,凉意袭人。从天津塘沽狭窄的火车站ロ走出一位憔悴不堪的中年农民,怀里抱着骨瘦如柴的妇女。他们从牡丹江上车坐了二十几个小时的硬座,他足足抱了她二十几个小时。
On a windy and chilly evening in late October 2002, a haggard middle-aged farmer with a thin, emaciated woman in his arms walked out of the narrow Tanggu railway station in Tianjin. They had been on a hard-seat train for over twenty hours from Mudanjiang, and he had been holding her for over twenty hours.
这妇女患有严重风湿性主动脉瓣、二尖瓣双瓣膜心脏病,已属晚期,心衰三度,不能行动,体重不足38公斤。她的生命就像秋风ー样盘旋在细若游丝般的呼吸中,随时可能飘走。十几年来,他们倾家荡产跑了好多家医院,最大的收获就是那份沉甸甸的、被宣判死刑的病历……这次,他们终于打听到刘晓程的下落,就怀着最后ー线希望千里迢迢跑来找他。
The woman suffered from severe rheumatic mitral and aortic valvular heart disease in the late stages, with Third degree heart failure and inability to move, and weighed less than 38 kilograms. Her life was so vulnerable as if she would pass away at any moment. They had spent their life savings and visited many hospitals over the past decade, but what they got was the heavy and death-sentence-like medical records. This time, they finally found out where Liu Xiaocheng was, and came to him with their last hope after traveling a long distance.
中年农民抱着妻子ー出站口,有人迎了上来:“请问你们是从牡丹江来的吧? ”
“嗯哪。你是……”中年农民不觉ー愣。
A middle-aged farmer holding his wife was greeted at the station exit: "Are you from Mudanjiang?"
"Yes, we are. And who are you?" The middle-aged farmer was surprised. “我是刘院长派来接你们的。”在电话里得知病人不能行走,刘晓程派孔祥荣主任开车来接他们。
"Director Liu sent me sent to pick you up.”Upon learning that the patient could not walk, Director Liu Xiaocheng sent Doctor Kong Xiangrong to drive to pick them up.
ー听是刘院长派车来接自己,这对走投无路、连卧铺都买不起的农民夫妇来说,实在受宠若惊,眼里顿时泪花闪闪。
Hearing that Director Liu sent a car to pick them up, the farmer and his wife, who were penniless and couldn't even afford a sleeper ticket, were overwhelmed with gratitude and tears filled their eyes.
可是,面对被多家医院宣判死刑、随时可能死去的重患,面对刚刚起步、还没有拿到心脏手术正式批文的开发区医院的有限条件,这个手术到底做还是不做?重大的抉择考问着刘晓程,也考问着与他共同创业的全体职エ。
However, facing the critically ill patient who had been declared terminally ill by multiple hospitals and could die at any time, and facing the limited conditions of the hospital, which had just started and had not yet obtained the official approval for heart surgery, whether to do the operation or not became a major decision challenging Liu Xiaocheng and all his colleagues with whom Liu started the business.
做,失败了,对刘晓程、对刚刚起步的事业的负面影响是不可低估的;不做,找个借口将病人推出去,等待病人的只有一个字:死。而且病人的病情容不得半点儿拖延。
If they did it but failed, the negative impact on Liu Xiaocheng and the fledgling hospital would be immeasurable. If they didn't do it, and made an excuse to refuse the patient, the patient would only face one fate: death. And the patient's condition couldn't tolerate any delay.
有过无数次类似经历的刘晓程,丝毫没犹豫,手ー扬,命令道:“准备手术「’这是刘晓程一贯的作风。
Liu Xiaocheng, who had countless similar experiences, didn't hesitate for a moment. He moved his hand and commanded, "Prepare for surgery." This was Liu Xiaocheng's usual style.
10月27日,天津市卫生局组织专家来评审开展手术的条件,答应下周一（10 月31日）发批文。但病人的病情已无法再拖,刘晓程恳请卫生局领导和专家组,破例批准他先手术后补批文。他为病人高度负责的精神感动了大家,默许他“违法” 于次日进行手术。
On October 27th, the Tianjin Health Bureau organized a panel of experts to evaluate the conditions for performing the surgery and promised to issue the approval on the following Monday (October 31st). However, the patient's condition could no longer be delayed. Liu Xiaocheng pleaded with the leaders of the health bureau and the expert group to make an exception, allowing him to perform the surgery before the approval was granted. His sense of responsibility for the patient moved everyone, and they silently allowed him to "break the law" to perform the surgery the next day.
麻醉师是借的,体外循环医生是借的,手术室护士长是现请来的……
The anesthesiologist was borrowed and so was the extracorporeal circulation doctor , and the operating room chief nurse was newly hired.
10月28日9点,全院职エ聚集在手术室门口,一双双沉重的目光,默默地目送着病人进了手术室……这是医院的第一例心脏手术,大家都知道这次手术成败的分量。对全院来说,她不仅是一条生命,而且是ー个开端。从上午9点一直到深夜 23点,ー连!4个小时,全院职エ的心都一直悬着。
At 9 o'clock on October 28th, all the hospital staff gathered at the entrance of the operating room, silently watching the patient enter the operating room with heavy hearts. This was the hospital's first cardiac surgery, and everyone knew the weight of its success or failure. To the hospital, she was not just a life, but also a beginning of this new hospital. From 9 am until 11 pm, for a total of 14 hours, the hearts of all the hospital staff were hanging in suspense.
ー个濒临死亡的灵魂一直徘徊在无影灯下。刘晓程要为病人心脏实施主动脉瓣、二尖瓣双瓣膜替换术,而且由于病人肝功能极差,渗血不止,无法关胸。23 ：15, 死神终于退却,手术获得了极大成功。
A soul on the brink of death lingered under the shadowless lamp. Liu Xiaocheng had to perform double valve replacement of aortic and mitral valves. on the patient's heart. Additionally, due to the patient's poor liver function and continued bleeding, he couldn't close the chest. At 23:15, the Grim Reaper finally retreated, and the surgery was a great success.
10月28日从此成为泰达国际心血管病医院的纪念日---为了纪念ー个普通农妇的新生,也为了纪念救死扶伤精神在国际心血管病医院永远发扬光大。
October 28th became the commemoration day of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH), to commemorate the rebirth of an ordinary farmer woman and to perpetuate the spirit of saving lives and helping others in the hospital forever.
术后,8名医护人员对病人日夜轮流监护。病人没有毛衣,护士长车慧将自己的毛衣送给她;医生护士每次打饭都多打ー份,给买不起饭菜的病人丈夫。
数天后,病人痊愈出院了。农民夫妇握着刘晓程的手久久泣不成声,末了说道:“俺们这辈子报答不了你,只能等下辈子报答了「’
After the surgery, eight medical staff took turns to monitor the patient day and night. The patient had no sweater, so the head nurse, Che Hui, gave her own sweater to her; the doctors and nurses always ordered an extra portion of food for the patient's husband who couldn't afford
meals.A few days later, the patient recovered and was discharged. The farmer couple held Liu Xiaocheng's hand and wept for a long time, saying, "We cannot repay you in this lifetime, we can only repay you in the next."
如果不是遇到刘晓程,如果不是医院为她免去两万多元的医疗费用,如果不是全体医护人员对他们关怀备至,这对濒临绝境的农民夫妇,很难说会走到哪ー步。
If it weren't for Liu Xiaocheng, if it weren't for the hospital waiving their medical expenses of over 20,000 yuan, and if it weren't for the caring attention of all the medical staff, it's hard to say where this farmer couple on the brink of desperation would have ended up.
刘晓程任心外科医生25年,手术8000多例,不知经历过多少这样的事情。患者的感谢信多得数都数不清。老抗联战士、黑龙江省老省长陈雷同志赠给他一幅牌匾,刻着“晓界生死,程接古今”八个大字。
Liu Xiaocheng has been a cardiothoracic surgeon for 25 years and has performed over 8,000 surgeries. He has experienced countless similar situations, and he has received numerous letters of gratitude from patients. The old veteran of the Anti-Japanese War and former governor of Heilongjiang Province, Comrade Chen Leitong, presented him with a plaque inscribed with the words" Xiao Jie Sheng Si, Cheng Jie Gu Jin"
但,刘晓程不是神医,在拯救濒危病人的手术中也有失败的时候。
However, Liu Xiaocheng is not a miracle doctor. There were also times when he failed to save endangered patients during surgery.
一名23岁的年轻人两年前在某医院做了心脏肿瘤切除,但术后效果不佳,又复发了,生命垂危。一家三口苦苦哀求刘晓程为其做心、肺移植术。刘晓程深知这种手术风险极大,成功率极低,尤其这种晚期肿瘤加上第一次手术已形成广泛粘连的病情,更增加了手术的风险。
Two years ago, a 23-year-old young man underwent heart tumor removal at a certain hospital, but the postoperative effect was not good and it recurred, putting his life in danger. His family begged Liu Xiaocheng to perform a heart and lung transplantation for him. Liu Xiaocheng knew very well that the risks of such an operation were extremely high and the success rate was very low, especially in this late-stage tumor case with extensive adhesion resulting from the first surgery, which further increased the risk of surgery.
但不做心、肺移植,病人必死无疑。做,也可能生, 但没有十分把握。如果失败了,他也可能因此而名誉扫地,可他必须竭尽全力去做,这是他做人的准则。
However, if the patient didn't receive the heart and lung transplantation, he would undoubtedly die. If he did it, he might live, but there was no absolute certainty. For Liu Xiaocheng, if he failed, he might lose his reputation, but he had to do his best, which was his principle as a human beings.
“我不敢保证他能活,但我会尽全力。”他坦诚地告诉病人家属。
"I cannot guarantee that he will survive, but I will do my best," he told the patient's family.
手术那天,小伙子面带微笑向亲人告别,看来他心里做好了各种准备。
On the day of the surgery, the young man smiled and said goodbye to his relatives, as if he had prepared himself mentally for all kinds of outcomes.
手术进行了十几个小时,很遗憾,死神还是夺走了年轻人的生命。遗体已经装上车了,家属却坚决不走,必须要见刘院长,谁劝都不听。
The surgery lasted for more than ten hours, but unfortunately, the angel of death still took the young man's life. The body had already been loaded onto the vehicle, but the family insisted on seeing Director Liu, and no one could persuade them to leave.
大家都为刘晓程捏了一把汗,以为家属要找他算账,就说:“刘院长,你可要挺住啊!”
Everyone was nervous for Liu Xiaocheng, thinking that the family was going to hold him accountable, saying "Director Liu, you must hang in there!"
刘晓程却说:“没什么挺不住的,我们尽力了ド’
However, Liu Xiaocheng said, "There's nothing I can't handle. We did our best."
没想到,死者父母见到刘晓程却扑通一声跪下了,拽都拽不起来。
Unexpectedly, the parents of the deceased knelt down as soon as they saw Liu Xiaocheng and couldn't be pulled up.
“刘院长啊,我儿子上手术台前一再叮嘱我,说他死了也要我来谢谢您!”死者父亲握住刘晓程的手,悲恸欲绝,“刘院长啊,我替我儿子来向您道谢了。您为他尽カ了!”
"Director Liu, my son repeatedly told me before he went into surgery that even if he died, I had to thank you in person !" The father of the deceased held Liu Xiaocheng's hand, grieving and thanking him, "Director Liu, I am here to thank you on behalf of my son. You did your best for him!"
此情此景,催人泪下。不是为了生者,而是为了告慰死者,来感谢一位并没有救活死者的医生。
The scene was so emotional that it brought tears to everyone's eyes. It wasn't for the living, but to console the dead by thanking a doctor who tried his best but still failed to save the patient.
“我很遗憾,没能救活他。”刘晓程的声音沙哑,他已经耗尽了体力与精力。
"I'm sorry I failed to save him," Liu Xiaocheng's voice was hoarse, he had already exhausted his physical and mental strength.
“刘院长您千万别这么说,您已经尽力了。我儿子死而无憾了！”
"Don't say that, Director Liu. You did everything you could. My son passed away without any regrets!"
没过几天,这位名叫郑铭长的死者家属将一幅写着“仁心仁术除疾患,全心全意为患者。柳叶神术冠天下,济世丹心惠众生”的牌匾,送到了刘晓程面前。
A few days later, the family of the deceased, named Zheng Mingchang, presented a plaque to Liu Xiaocheng with the words ""With compassion and skill, he cures illnesses, dedicating his whole hearts to patients. As a remarkable expertise,Liu Xiaocheng is renowned worldwide, and his benevolent spirit benefits all beings."
死者家属给医生送牌匾,在当今的医疗界,谁曾听说过?
Who has ever heard of a family of the deceased giving a plaque to a doctor in today's medical community?
中国的老百姓已经够苦了, 我们还是为老百姓积点儿德吧!
The Chinese people have suffered enough, let's accumulate some virtue for them!
与刘晓程一起共事的人都承认,刘晓程的精力过人,工作效率更惊人。
Those who worked with Liu Xiaocheng all recognized that he had extraordinary energy and astonishing work efficiency.
2002年3月28日,新医院破土动エ,不到一年半,2003年9月26日,投资7.2 亿、亚洲最大、占地11万平方米的泰达国际心血管病医院,在天津经济技术开发区举行隆重的开业典礼。
On March 28, 2002, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new hospital was held. In less than a year and a half, on September 26, 2003, the TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH), which cost 720 million yuan, was opened with great ceremony in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area.
这座设有600张病床,集医疗、教学、科研与康复四位一体的心血管病医院,是天津经济技术开发区继摩托罗拉、丰田、雅马哈、雀巢、三星等3700家企业之后,又ー家令世界瞩目的企业。
This cardiovascular hospital, which has 600 beds and integrates medical treatment, teaching, research, and rehabilitation, is the latest world-renowned enterprise to settle in the zone after 3,700 other companies such as Motorola, Toyota, Yamaha, Nestle, and Samsung.
卫生部副部长朱庆生同志在开业典礼上宣读了吴仪的贺信。信中写道:“心血
管病是人类健康和生命的主要杀手之一。我国现有400万心血管病人等待手术, 而全国每年仅能完成4万多例。泰达国际心血管病医院的建成,将为改善我国心血管病的治疗做出贡献,给广大心血管病患者带来福音……”
At the opening ceremony, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Health Zhu Qingsheng read out a congratulatory letter from Wu Yi, which reads "Cardiovascular disease is one of the major killers of human health and life. There are currently 4 million cardiovascular disease patients in China waiting for surgery, while just over 40,000 surgeries can be completed per year in the whole country. The construction of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) will contribute to improving cardiovascular disease treatment in China and bring good news to cardiovascular disease patients..."
这所世界一流的医院,是刘晓程的理想、意志与追求的完美体现,它处处充满了人文关怀。医院里刻着刘晓程一生的座右铭“博爱济世”。走廊里,装有防止病人摔倒的软包扶梯;住院处设有病人休息的阳光室;宽敞、舒适的病人家属等候区, 摆有沙发、茶几、大型薄屏彩电……
This world-class hospital is a perfect reflection of Liu Xiaocheng's ideals, will, and pursuits, and it is full of humanistic care everywhere. The hospital bears Liu Xiaocheng's lifelong motto "Universal Love and Alleviating Suffering". The corridors are equipped with soft package escalators to prevent patients from falling; the admission office has a sunny room for patients to rest; the spacious and comfortable patient family waiting area is furnished with sofas, coffee tables, and large thin-screen color TVs...
病人可以享受高档的“总统”病房,也可以享受 50元一天的二人普通病房。所有病房都配有日本原装多功能床、电话、小型薄屏彩电、卫生间、热水、纯净水、中央空调,医院还设有咖啡厅、商业街、花店、贵重物品存放处、24小时快餐厅、商务中心、屋顶儿童乐园。
Patients can enjoy the high-end "presidential" ward or the standard double ward for 50 yuan per day. All rooms are equipped with Japanese multifunctional beds, telephones, small thin-screen color TVs, bathrooms, hot water, purified water, central air conditioning, and the hospital also has a café, shopping street, flower shop, valuables storage, 24-hour fast food restaurant, business center, and rooftop children's playground.
医院配有世界最先进的各种检测、治疗心血管疾病的高科技仪器:双梯度核磁共振、十六排CT、ECT、平板式数字减影心导管机、三维实时成像彩色В超……还有一台病人不用穿刺动脉做心脏造影,就可以确诊有无心脏病的世界第三台、欧亚第一台电子束СТ。
The hospital is equipped with the world's most advanced high-tech instruments for detecting and treating cardiovascular diseases, such as dual-gradient nuclear magnetic resonance, 16-row CT, ECT, flat-panel digital subtraction angiography machines, and real-time 3D imaging color ultrasound... There is also the third machine in the world and the first in Eurasia that can diagnose heart disease without the need for arterial puncture.
在这儿,病人不用端着大小便到处找化验室,医院特为他们设立了可以传递标本的特殊卫生间。化验室设有全自动条码扫描、运送、分检、离心、取样的检验线,按一下电钮,就通过自动物流系统传到化验室,医生可以通过信息系统随时看化验结果。全院看不到胶片和纸张,这是中国真正的数字化医院。
Here, patients do not need to carry their bodily waste to different laboratories for testing. The hospital has special bathrooms where specimens can be sent for testing. The laboratory has fully automated barcode scanning, transportation, sorting, centrifugation, and sampling lines. With just a press of a button, the specimens are sent to the laboratory through an automatic logistics system, and doctors can view the results at any time through the information system. The hospital is truly digitalized, and there are no films or papers visible throughout the hospital.
刘晓程以院长身份公开向社会承诺:“国际心血管病医院对每种疾病将实行公开、透明的每收费限价,保证收费低于医保部门核定的单病平均收费标准,保证以优质的服务为广大群众解除疾苦。坚决杜绝吃回扣、收红包、大检查、大开方的各种不正之风!”
As the hospital's director, Liu Xiaocheng publicly promised to society that "TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) will implement transparent pricing for each disease and ensure that the charges are lower than the single-disease average charge standard set by the medical insurance department. We are committed to relieve the suffering of the people with high-quality services. We will firmly put an end to the unhealthy tendency such as kickbacks, red envelopes, excessive examinations, and over-prescription!"
医院规定,对请不起专家的贫困病人,将主动为其安排专家,而专家的报酬将在医院的二次分配中解决,与病人交费不挂钩。
The hospital stipulates that for poor patients who cannot afford specialists, the hospital will proactively arrange specialists for them, and the specialists' remuneration will be solved through the hospital's second distribution, which is not related to the patients' fees.
医院对各种医疗设备及药品全部实行公开竞价招标。由于对厂家压价压得太低,厂家推销员拖着哭腔说:“刘院长你压得也太狠了,还让我们厂家活不活?”
The hospital adopts open competitive bidding for all medical equipment and drugs. Due to the low price pressure on manufacturers, sales representatives from the companies even pleaded with tearful voices, saying, "Director Liu, you're pressing us too hard. Will our company still survive?"
刘晓程却说:“你还是考虑让老百姓活不活吧!这些仪器和耗材的价钱,最后都要压到老百姓头上。中国的老百姓已经够苦了,卖房卖地来看病。我们还是为老百姓造点福吧!我们ー不要回扣,二不需要培训。你把压到老百姓头上的虚高价钱压到最低,看我们能不能接受?”
However, Liu Xiaocheng replied, "You should consider more about the common people ! The prices of these instruments and consumables will eventually be paid by the common people. Chinese people have already suffered too much. They sell houses and land to seek medical treatment. Let's bring more benefits to the common people! We don't want kickbacks, and we don't need training either. You need to push down the inflated prices that paid by the common people and see if we can accept them."
王铁林是刘晓程的大学同窗,曾与刘晓程共同创建了牡丹江心血管病医院,是刘晓程的金兰之交。这次得知刘晓程又要创建国际心血管病医院,王铁林毅然辞去珠海中山大学第五医院院长之职,到这担任行政副院长,跟刘晓程一起创建这所医院。
Wang Tielin, Liu Xiaocheng's university classmate and a close friend, had previously co-founded the Mudanjiang Cardiovascular Hospital with Liu Xiaocheng. Hearing Liu Xiaocheng decide establish an international cardiovascular hospital , he resigned from his position as the director of the fifth affiliated Hospital Sun Yat-sen University without hesitation and then join this new hospital as the deputy dean, working together with Liu Xiaocheng to establish it.
这位中国医院建设和装备学会副秘书长兼《中国医院建设和装备》杂志副总编,在中国医疗建设方面享有很高的声誉。这次建筑国际心血管病医院,创造了包括开办费在内每平方米6000元的最低成本,以及利用不到一年半时间建成一座大型现代化医院的世界纪录。
Wang Tielin, serves as the Deputy Secretary-General of the China Association of Medical Equipment Hospital Architecture and Equipment Branch and the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Chinese Hospital Architecture & Equipment magazine, enjoying a high reputation in the field of medical construction in China. During the construction of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH), he achieved the lowest cost per square meter, including start-up expenses, at 6,000 yuan, and set a world record by completing a large-scale modern hospital in less than a year and a half.
在购置设备的竞价中,刘晓程和王铁林一个唱红脸,ー个唱白脸。刘晓程思维敏捷,口才雄辩;王铁林性格内向,沉稳多思。两人对西门子、飞利浦等几十个商家单兵教练,轮番轰炸,让商家分头单独报价,从上午一直唇枪舌剑到第二天凌晨 4点。
During the bidding process for equipment procurement, Liu Xiaocheng and Wang Tielin played different roles. Liu Xiaocheng was quick-thinking and eloquent, while Wang Tielin was introverted and thoughtful. They took turns pressuring dozens of vendors, including Siemens and Philips, bombarding them to provide separate quotations. This intense negotiation lasted from morning till 4 a.m. the next day.
商家从未见过这样的院长,人家都是趁机想大捞一把,他俩却分文不要。商家不得不被院长的人格所折服,最后以令人咂舌的低价成交:一台全功能手术台从 18万降到10万,刘晓程还向厂家白要了两台； 700张日本原装全功能病床以2. 5折成交,还白送两套总统电动轮椅;一台西门子呼吸机要价4万美元,最后以1.9万美元成交。
The merchants had never seen a director like this before. Others would take advantage of the situation to make a big profit, but these two didn't want a single cent. The merchants couldn't help but be impressed by the director's integrity. In the end, they made an astonishing deal: a fully functional operating table was reduced from 180,000 to 100,000 yuan, and Liu Xiaocheng even managed to get two additional ones for free from the manufacturer. They also negotiated a deal for 700 original Japanese fully functional hospital beds at 2.5 times below the original price and received two sets of presidential electric wheelchairs for free. A Siemens ventilator was originally priced at $40,000, but it was finally sold at $19,000.
三天三夜,成交了 !.8亿元人民币的仪器和设备。
In just three days and three nights, instruments and equipment worth 180 million yuan were successfully procured.
在这里,病人不用给医生送红包,医生绝对不敢拿你的小命“开玩笑”。刘晓程不仅率先垂范,而且公开宣布:“那些被红包喂肥了的’专家’,技术再好也不能登上我们搭的舞台,因为我们的薪水填不满他们的欲壑!救死扶伤的事业是有灵魂的人从事的事业,没有同情心的人是不能从事这种职业的!如果发现哪个医生收红包,将立刻开除!”
In this hospital, patients do not need to give doctors red envelopes, and doctors would never dare to make fun of people’ lives. Liu Xiaocheng not only sets an example himself but also announces, "Those 'experts' who have been fattened by red envelopes, no matter how skilled they are, will never step into our hospital because our salaries cannot fulfill their insatiable desires! The mission of saving lives and providing medical care is a pursuit of those with a soul. Those without compassion cannot engage in this profession! If any doctor is found accepting red envelopes, they will be immediately dismissed!"
早在牡丹江心血管病医院,曾发生过这样的事。刘晓程发现一名弟子多次向病人索要钱物,多次批评屡教不改。最后一次,病人借钱给弟子买了两条烟。刘晓程得知此事后对弟子说:“你不配做我的弟子,我们从此断绝师徒关系！但我给你找条出路,送你到北京中日友好医院去进修!”弟子哭了,一再认错。
Similar things have occurred in the Mudanjiang Cardiovascular Hospital. Liu Xiaocheng discovered that one of his students repeatedly extorted money and items from patients, despite repeated criticisms and admonishments. In the final instance, the patient borrowed money to buy the doctor two cigarettes. Upon hearing that, Liu Xiaocheng said to his mentee, "You are unworthy of being my mentee, and our teacher-student relationship ends here! However, I will find a way for you and send you to China-Japan Friendship Hospital.|
刘晓程却愤然道:“病人连手术费都交不起,天天吃窝头！你竟然去搜刮病人的救命钱,你还有良心吗?你不配当医生!”两人从此断绝了师徒关系,但仍然是朋友。
Liu Xiaocheng angrily retorted, "The patient can't even afford the surgery fees and has to eat plain buns every day! And yet you should extort money from for them, do you have any conscience left? You're not worthy of being a doctor!" From then on, their mentor-mentee relationship was severed, but they remained friends.
刘晓程对国际心血管医院的全体职エ讲道:“大家都得挣钱养家糊口,这是生存的需要。但别忘了我们手中操着他人的性命,我们不能昧着良心赚黑钱！我要让你们有尊严,有人格,合法地通过劳动获得应得的报酬！而不能收受红包,让老百姓骂我们是毫无人性、毫无自尊的白眼狼!”
Liu Xiaocheng spoke to all the staff at TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH), "Everyone needs to earn a living, to support their families and that’s the basic need of survival. But let's not forget that we hold people's lives in our hands. We can't earn dirty money without conscience! I want you to have dignity, and to receive fair compensation for your labor in a legal way. We can't accept red envelopes and let the people call us heartless, self-respectless wolves!"
但在当今,不正之风猖獗,职业道德沦丧,孔方兄主宰一切的现实中,不少人对刘晓程的做法感到不可思议。有人甚至提出非议:“他是为了赚大钱オ提出辞职的。这所国际医院一定有他的股份,要不他オ不会下那么大气力呢!”
However, nowadays. Corruption is rampant, professional ethics are lost, many people find Liu Xiaocheng's actions unbelievable. Some even criticized him, saying, "He resigned just to make big money. He must have shares in this international hospital; otherwise, why would he put in so much effort?"
刘晓程却淡然一笑,快言快语道:“我要想赚钱还不容易吗!我可以去国外,也可以去‘走穴‘,一年赚个几百万不成问题!何必要什么股份?再说,这是政府投资的非营利性公立医院,没有我刘晓程一分钱。
Liu Xiaocheng smiled lightly and said bluntly, "If I wanted to make money, wouldn't it be easy? I could go abroad or do some freelance work, earning millions yuan easily in a year. Why would I need shares? Besides, this is a non-profit public hospital invested by the government. I don't have a penny invested.
钱是身外之物,生带不来,死带不去,要那么多有什么用?人各有志。我感兴趣的不是钱,而是建医院。如果需要, 我可以再建几所这样的医院,这就可以大大缓解心脏病人看病难的问题了。我オ不在乎别人说什么呢。谁愿意说谁说,事实会证明一切!”
Money is something outside of me; it can't buy health or rebirth and can't be taken away when we die. What's the point of having so much money? Everyone has their own goals. I'm interested in building hospitals instead of money. If needed, I can build more hospitals like this to greatly alleviate the problem of heart disease patients struggling to get medical treatment. I don't care what others say and the facts will prove everything!"
这些年来,刘晓程一直在自我牺牲,在国内国外都是这样。正因为他的牺牲, 从而改变了多少病人及家属的命运?正因为他的牺牲,又改变了多少医生的命运? 他的弟子遍布广东、厦门、大连、北京、牡丹江等许多城市,他们都成了当地心外科的顶梁柱。协和医院的副主任医生苗齐、泰达国际心血管病医院的心外科主任孔祥荣,都是刘晓程手把手带出来的弟子。
Over the years, Liu Xiaocheng has been self-sacrificing, both when he was at home and abroad. It is because of his sacrifice that the destinies of countless patients, their families and doctors changed . His students are spread across many cities, including Guangdong, Xiamen, Dalian, Beijing, and Mudanjiang, and they have all become the backbone of local cardiovascular surgery departments. Miao Qi, the Deputy Chief Physician at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and Kong Xiangrong, the Director of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) are both students personally trained by Liu Xiaocheng.
刘晓程决心把这所国际心血管病医院建成一座技术现代化、管理科学化、人员素质高能化的世界一流的医院,把它办成一所深受百姓信赖、收费合理、真正救死扶伤的医院。因此,必须有一个卓越的专家群体,有一批优秀的管理人才。
Liu Xiaocheng is determined to transform this international cardiovascular hospital into a world-class hospital with advanced technology, scientific management, and highly skilled personnel and one that is trusted by the people, with reasonable fees, and genuinely saves lives and helps the injured. Therefore, it is necessary to have an excellent group of experts and a team of outstanding management personnel.
他以自己独特的人格魅力,吸引了国内外大批致カ于救死扶伤事业的有识之士及医学界的精英。他的研究生同窗、麻醉专家薛玉良,心内科专家熊鉴然,心内科专家齐向前,放射专家朱杰敏,他手把手教出来的大弟子、心外科专家孔祥荣,超声专家黄云洲,受聘于沙特阿拉伯皇家医院手术室护士长的车慧……ー批“海归”骄子及医学专家纷纷舍弃高额的薪水,投奔到刘晓程麾下。
With his unique charisma, he has attracted numerous visionary individuals and medical elites from both domestic and international backgrounds who are dedicated to the cause of saving lives. Xue Yuliang, his former post-graduate classmates and also an anesthesia expert; Xiong Jianran, a cardiology expert; Qi Xiangqian, a cardiology expert; Zhu Jiemin, a radiology expert, as well as Kong Xiangrong his top student and also a cardiothoracic surgery expert, and Huang Yunzhou, an ultrasound expert are just a few examples. Many "overseas returnees" and medical professionals have forsaken high salaries to join Liu Xiaocheng's team. Che Hui, who was appointed as the head nurse of the operating room at a royal hospital in Saudi Arabia, is one of them.

“刘院长身上闪光的东西激励着我们,呼唤着我们,使我们心灵深处蕴藏的美好理想被激发出来,燃烧起一股干事业的热情。他的人格魅力就像一双红舞鞋,跟他在ー起就像着了魔似的,即使累得筋疲カ尽也心甘情愿。”
"Liu Director's shining qualities inspire us, calling out to us, igniting the beautiful ideals hidden deep within our souls and fueling a passion for accomplishing great things. His charisma is like a pair of red dancing shoes, and being with him feels like being under a spell. Even if we are exhausted, we willingly embrace it."
“刘晓程的品格光彩照人,他是时代的楷模。我佩服他的学识和胆量,更佩服他不媚上,不卑下,处处为老百姓着想的品格。”
"Liu Xiaocheng's character shines brightly, and he is an exemplar of our time. I admire his knowledge and courage, but more importantly, I admire his integrity of always considering the well-being of the common people."
“我来这里不是为了来挣钱,而是为了实现ー个医务工作者的人生价值,为了刘院长提出的博爱、济世的抱负。我喜欢这里纯洁、简单、没有内耗的人际关系,エ作起来痛快!”这是投奔者的心声,也是对刘晓程的评价。
"I came here not to earn money but to fulfill the life value of a medical professional, to fulfill Director Liu's vision of Universal Love and Alleviating Suffering. I love the pure, simple, and harmonious interpersonal relationships here. It feels refreshing to work in such an environment!" This is the voice of the followers of Liu Xiaocheng, and it is also their evaluation of him.
一次聚餐,精明干练的护士长车慧向刘晓程敬酒,风趣地说:“院长,我们每个人都擎起一片天,就会托起你这轮太阳。你这太阳的光芒再回照到我们身上,我们将永远跟国际心血管医院在ー起!”
During a gathering, the capable head nurse, Che Hui, raised her glass to Liu Xiaocheng, humorously saying, "Director, if each one of us holds up a piece of the sky, we will support you as the sun. When your sunlight shines back on us, we will always be with the TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH)!"
是的,刘晓程把博爱、济世的阳光洒向医院的每ー个角落,洒向每一位患者和职エ。患者没钱回家,他悄悄掏钱塞给患者;全院号召献血,他第一个伸出胳膊;医院新调来职エ,他为他们安排好大到住房、孩子上学,小到煤气、冰箱等一切日用品,乃至一把门锁……有人说,刘晓程是一座纵览群山的高峰,迎风斗雪,奇绝险峻。有人说,他是虚怀若谷的大丈夫,内心坦荡,豪情万丈。
Indeed, Liu Xiaocheng spreads the sunlight of Universal Love and Alleviating Suffering to every corner of the hospital, illuminating every patient and staff member. When patients have no money to go home, he discreetly gives them money. When the hospital is called upon to donate blood, he is the first to extend his arm. When new staff members arrive, he arranges everything for them, from accommodation and enrollment of their children to daily necessities like gas, refrigerators, and even a door lock. Some say that Liu Xiaocheng is a towering peak, braving snow and wind, awe-inspiring and perilous. Others say he is a magnanimous man with a broad heart, open-minded and full of passion.
但是,人生总有遗憾,刘晓程最愧疚的是对不住亲人。他不止一次地说:“如果真有来世,我什么都不干,一定做个好父亲、好丈夫、好儿子厂’
However, in life, there are always regrets, and Liu Xiaocheng's greatest regret is not being able to fulfill his duties to his loved ones. He has said more than once, "If there truly was an afterlife, I would do nothing but be a good father, a good husband, and a good son."
今生今世他是永远做不到了。在北京工作的妻子,对拼命三郎的丈夫永远牵着ー颗心,因为他也是个心脏病患者。她对他的奢望不高,只希望他活着,只要他活着就好
In this lifetime, he can never achieve that. His wife, who works in Beijing, always carries a worried heart for her hardworking husband because he himself is also a heart disease patient. Her expectations for him are not high; she simply hopes that he stays alive, as long as he is alive, everything is good.
为了尽孝,刘晓程把90岁高龄的父亲接到天津开发区。尽管近在咫尺,他也只能隔三岔五打个电话,个把星期闪电式地看一眼风烛残年的老父亲罢了。
In order to fulfill his filial duty, Liu Xiaocheng brought his 90-year-old father to the Tianjin Development Area Hospital. Despite being close by, he could only call him occasionally and visit his elderly father for a brief moment every couple of weeks.
采访者变成患者,明天我将走上手术台
I am an interviewer, Tomorrow I will receive an operation.
也许,这就是天意。
Perhaps, this is fate.
我和刘晓程来自同一座城市,但并不相识。2003年10月8日,佳木斯准备出一本报告文学集,朋友邀我来写刘晓程,这オ第一次结识他。
Liu Xiaocheng and I are from the same city, but we didn't know each other. On October 8, 2003, Jiamusi was preparing to publish a collection of reportage, and a friend invited me to write about Liu Xiaocheng. That was the first time I met him.
我也是个心脏病患者,2003年9月做了心脏支架,但术后感觉一直不好。采访时,我请刘晓程看看我做心脏支架造影的片子。他和几位专家会诊后告诉我,说我心脏除了支架部位还有六处病变,最严重的部位已经堵塞了 90%,随时可能发生心梗,要想彻底解决心脏问题,必须搭五至六个桥,建议我尽快做搭桥手术。
I am also a heart disease patient. In September 2003, I had a Heart Stent Implantation, but I had been feeling unwell since the surgery. During the interview, I asked Liu Xiaocheng to review my cardiac stent imaging film. After consulting with several experts, he told me that my heart had six additional lesions besides the stent area. The most severe blockage had reached 90%, and I could have a heart attack at any time. To completely resolve my heart problems, I needed to undergo bypass surgery to graft five or six vessels. He advised me to have surgery as soon as possible.
Chapter Nine
听到这番话,我完全惊呆了,悲哀与绝望一下子把我吞没了。想想啊,ー个拳头大的心脏除了支架部位,居然还有六处堵塞。这哪还是什么心脏,简直是ー只破筛子啊!令人费解的是,一个月前我刚刚做完支架,当地医生说我心脏还有两处堵塞,但短时间内不会发生危险,他们并没有告诉我这么严重啊!而且,不单是对疾病与死亡的恐惧,还有导致这场疾病的原因带给我的委屈与愤慨,远比疾病带给我的痛苦更加令我难以承受。
Upon hearing these words, I was completely stunned. Grief and despair engulfed me in an instant. Just imagine, a small heart should have six additional blockages besides the stent area. What kind of heart is this? It's more like a broken sieve! It's bewildering that just a month ago, after having the stent placed, local doctors informed me of only two blockages in my heart, assuring me that there was no immediate danger. They didn't disclose the severity to me! Not only am I afraid of the disease and death, but also the injustice and indignation caused by the factors leading to this illness, which is far more unbearable than the pain inflicted by the disease itself.
我父母都没有心脏病,都是七八十岁オ过世。而我这个国家一级速滑运动员出身的作家,身体一直很棒,精力充沛过人。我先生总是亲切地叫我“活兔子”。
Neither of my parents had heart disease and they both passed away in their seventies or eighties. As a writer with a background as a national-level speed skater, my health had always been excellent, and I had an extraordinary level of energy. My husband affectionately called me an "energetic rabbit."
我曾孤身ー人赴俄罗斯、乌克兰、韩国、比利时、荷兰等好多国家采访,连战火纷飞的车臣都去过。我一生都坚持锻炼,2000年冬天,每晚还游泳1000米呢。可是三年后的今天,我竟然变成了一个亟待拯救的心脏病重患。这个极大的落差实在令我无法接受。
I had traveled alone to various countries for interview, including Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, and even the war-torn Republic Of Chechnya. I I have been exercising all my life. In the winter of 2000, I even swam 1,000 meters every night. But today, three years later, I have turned into a critically ill heart patient in desperate need of salvation. This tremendous contrast is truly something I cannot accept.
我知道,这完全是因为创作《盖世太保枪口下的中国女人》那部电视剧造成的。长时间的过度疲劳,加上屡遭侵权与伤害,接连打了三起官司,我受不了那种投告无门、欲哭无泪、长达数年的摧残与折磨,得了严重心脏病。
I know that all of this is entirely due to the creation of the TV series A Chinese Women at Gestapo Gunpoint. Prolonged excessive fatigue, coupled with repeated infringement and harm, and three consecutive lawsuits, I couldn't bear the torment and devastation of being helpless, on the verge of tears, for several years, which led to severe heart disease.
当时,眼看着自己自费赴欧洲采访、呕心沥血三年的作品被他人夺走,谁能不玩命地抗争啊?可现在ー想,与生命相比,一部电视剧又算得了什么?三起官司都赢了,又怎能弥补我生命的巨大损失?那些侵权事件只不过是我生命之旅一段令人唾弃的游戏,应该把它扔进垃圾袋,让它永世不再打扰我的宝贵人生了 !
At that time, seeing my self-funded trip to Europe for interviews and the three years of painstaking effort being taken away by others, who wouldn't fight desperately? But now, when I think about it, what does a TV series matter compared to life itself? Even though I won all three lawsuits, how can it make up for the enormous loss in my life? Those infringement incidents were nothing more than a despicable game in my life. They should be thrown into the garbage bag, never to disturb my precious life again!
当一个人濒临死亡,她对生命的诠释与理解,跟以往有着截然不同的含义。
When a person is on the brink of death, their interpretation and understanding of life will be completely different.
可是,人生最大的悲哀莫过于清醒过来已近黄昏,一切都悔之晚矣。
However, the greatest sorrow in life is to wake up when dusk is approaching and realize that it is too late for regrets.
我本来是来采访的,现在却成了亟待拯救的病人。这种极大的落差几乎把我击倒了。
I initially came here for an interview, but now I have become a patient in desperate need of salvation. This tremendous contrast almost knocked me down.
我觉得生命随时可能离我而去,可我还有多少创作计划没有实施,还有多少美好人生没有享受啊?我是那么热爱生活,热爱创作,热爱人生,现在,这颗破碎的心却跟我过不去了。我对刘晓程说:“我オ60岁,正是创作的黄金时代。我不要多, 再给我15年就行。我太爱创作了。”
I feel that I might die at any moment, but I still have so many creative plans to be fulfilled and so many years of beautiful life to be enjoyed. I have such a deep love for life, for creation, for living. Now, this broken heart is causing me so much pain. I said to Liu Xiaocheng, "I'm only 60 years old, which is the golden age of creation. I don't need much, just give me another 15 years. I love creating too much."
刘晓程却说:“把你那颗破碎的心交给我吧。15年太保守了,你准备再创作20 年吧。”
But Liu Xiaocheng said, "Give your broken heart to me. Fifteen years is too conservative. How about preparing to create for another 20 years?"
我知道他在安慰我。
I know he is comforting me.
刘晓程找来内科副主任林文华医生当我的“保健医生”,并给林主任下了“死令”,要他指导我用药,必须保证在我术前不发生意外。
Liu Xiaocheng sought Dr. Lin Wenhua, the associate chief physicians of the Department of Internal Medicine, to become my "care physician." He issued a "death order" to Dr. Lin, instructing him to guide my medication and ensure that no accidents occur before my surgery.
我觉得刘晓程这个人物太难得了,在当今医疗界实属凤毛麟角。我决定把这篇报告文学写完再手术,我要向约稿的朋友有个交代,万一我没有走下手术台那就遗憾了。我要告诉那些像我ー样徘徊于生死边缘的心脏病同胞:中国有这样一位院长,有这样一所医院
I feel that Liu Xiaocheng is an extraordinary individual, a rare gem in today's medical community, so I decide to finish writing this report literary work before the surgery. I want to fulfill my commitment to my friends who commissioned the work. It would be regrettable if I couldn’t survive the surgery. I want to let those who, like me, hover on the brink of death know that in China, there is such a excellent director like him, and there is a wonderful hospital like the TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH).
于是,我揣着这颗破碎的心,忍受着随时发生的心绞痛,用我顽强之笔,蘸着生命之墨,竭力撰写着这篇报告文学。我每天都如履薄冰般地走在生命的边缘,很怕ー不小心踩重了,踩碎了十分脆弱的生命,使我过早地陷入死亡之谷。
So, carrying this broken heart, enduring the angina that could strike at any moment, dipping my resilient pen into the ink of life, I am diligently composing this report literary work. Every day, I walk on the edge of life as if treading on thin ice, afraid that one wrong step will crush the fragile life and plunge me prematurely into the valley of death.
从此,一向活泼、开朗、奔放的我,一向与歌声和笑声相伴的我,却再也不能从心底发出笑声了。我曾试图用美国总统罗斯福的名言擦拭我心灵的泪:“将死亡视为不可逃避的平常事实而加以接受,便可以永远地解脱对死亡的恐惧。”
From that moment on, I, who used to be lively, cheerful, and unrestrained, always accompanied by songs and laughter, can no longer let out laughter from the depths of my heart. I tried to wipe away the tears in my soul with the famous quote of U.S.President Roosevelt, "Accept death as an unavoidable fact, and you can be forever freed from the fear of death."
我也曾试图用创造人类奇迹的科学家霍金的痛苦来稀释我的痛苦,用他的意志来坚强我的意志。但我却发现,我不是一位伟人,我只是ー个平凡的作家。一向自诩无比坚强、任何苦难都不曾使其低头的我,原来如此脆弱,如此不堪ー击。生命原来如此脆弱。
I also attempted to alleviate my pain with the suffering of the scientist Hawking, who created miracles for humanity, and strengthen my will with his determination. However, I discovered that I am not a great figure; I am just an ordinary writer. I, who always boasted of being immensely strong, never bowing down in the face of any hardship, turned out to be so fragile, so vulnerable. Life is indeed so fragile.
傍晚,我和先生漫步在海边,看潮起潮落,听渔歌唱晚,看美丽的タ阳西下,倾听他人的欢声笑语,而我却只有忧伤和叹息。万家灯火照不亮我阴暗的心,强劲的海风吹不散我心头的愁绪。然而,不管有多么痛苦,我都必须接受这个残酷得令人绝望的现实。这就是命运。
In the evening, my husband and I strolled along the beach, watching the ebb and flow of the tide, listening to the fishermen's evening songs, and watching the beautiful sunset. I heard the joyous voices and laughter of others, while I could only feel sad and sighs. The myriad lights of the households couldn't illuminate my darkened heart, and the strong sea wind couldn't dispel my melancholy. However, no matter how painful it was, I had to accept this cruel and despairing reality, this is fate.
在这段时光里,我深切地感受着一个人对于生命的强烈渴望,感受着病人渴望医生来拯救自己生命的殷切企盼,感受着任何人都无法排遣的无望与悲怆,也感受着一个人徘徊于生死边缘的孤独与无助。
During this period of time, I keenly felt the intense longing for life that one person possesses, experienced the fervent hope of a patient yearning for a doctor to save their life, felt the hopelessness and sorrow that no one could dispel, and also experienced the loneliness and helplessness of lingering on the brink of death.
我体会着400万心脏病同胞所遭受的、任何语言都无法描述的痛苦煎熬。而我只需要煎熬几个月,可那400万同胞却要煎熬几年,十几年,甚至一直煎熬到死。那是怎样ー种漫长而绝望、痛苦而无助的煎熬啊?
I understood the indescribable suffering endured by four million heart disease patients. While I only had to endure for a few months, those four million patients had to suffer for years, even decades, until their death. What an agonizing, prolonged, hopeless, and painful ordeal it must be!
我的心脏病同胞们,我太理解你们了 !
My fellow heart disease patients, I truly understand you!
2004年3月8日,我终于完稿了。
On March 8, 2004, I finally completed the manuscript.
夜里,我给先生写了一封长信。尽管刘晓程一再说:“雅文大姐你应该相信我, 我一定要还给你生命!”可我知道,心脏手术风险很大,我必须做好各种准备。
At night, I write a long letter to my husband. Despite Liu Xiaocheng repeatedly saying, "Yawei, you should trust me. I will definitely give you back your life!" But I know that heart surgery carries great risks, and I have to prepare myself for that.
把该做的事情都做完了,把该交代的事情都交代完了,3月9日,在先生的陪同下,我住进了我所描写过的泰达国际心血管病医院。
Everything prepared , on March 9, I get hospitalized, accompanied by my husband,into the TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) that I had depicted in my writing
3月15日,刘晓程将亲自为我主刀手术。
On March 15th, Liu Xiaocheng personally performed the surgery on me.
14日晚,手术部主任薛玉良来询问我以往麻醉的情况,是否有过敏史;担任手术助手的外科医生王正清、张嵬来询问我是否是疤痕体质;手术室的两名护士也前来探望。医院规定,凡是手术,相关医护人员都要来探视病人。
On the evening of the 14th, the head of the surgical department, Xue Yuliang, came to inquire about my previous anesthesia history and whether I had any allergies. The surgical assistants, Wang Zhengqing and Zhang Wei, asked if I had a tendency for scarring. Two nurses from the operating room also came to visit. It was a hospital regulation that all relevant medical staff should visit the patient before surgery.
晚间,中国作协领导打来电话,黑龙江作协领导和文学院领导来看望我,好多朋友都打来电话安慰我、鼓励我。两位素昧平生的外企大学教师---我忠实的读者,听说我要手术,竟然专程从北京跑到天津医院来为我祈祷。他们二人和林文华副主任将手搭在我的手上,虔诚地为我祝福,为我祈祷,祝福我闯过这道生死大关。那个场面太感人了,令我刻骨铭心,永志难忘。
In the evening, leaders from the China Writers Association called, and leaders from the Heilongjiang Writers Association and the literature institute came to visit me. Many friends called to comfort and encourage me. Two foreign university teachers whom I had never met, but are loyal readers of my work, heard that I was going to have surgery. They actually traveled all the way from Beijing to the hospital in Tianjin just to pray for me. The two of them, along with the associate chief physicians Lin Wenhua, placed their hands on mine, sincerely blessing and praying for me, wishing me success in overcoming this life-and-death ordeal. That scene was incredibly touching, etched into my memory, and unforgettable.
亲爱的读者,明天,我将带着亲人与朋友的祝福走上手术台了。
Dear readers, tomorrow I will step onto the operating table with the blessings of my loved ones and friends.
我无法预测我生命的裂谷到底有多深,我不知道我脆弱的生命能否跨过这道裂谷。如果跨过去了,我将获得新生;如果跨不过去,我将化作一缕白烟,同这美好而残酷的世界永别了。那么,这篇作品将成为我的遗作。
I cannot predict how deep the chasm in my life is, nor do I know if my fragile life can cross that chasm. If I can cross it, I will gain a new life. If I cannot, I will turn into a wisp of smoke, bidding farewell to this beautiful yet cruel world. Then, this work will become my legacy.
亲爱的读者朋友,无论我能否再见到你们,都请你们记住,这里有一位院长,有一所医院,有一群生命的守护天使……这里,将会给濒危的心血管病人带来生的希望无论你是富人,还是穷人。
Dear reader friends, whether or not I can see you again, please remember that there is a dean, a hospital, and a group of guardian angels of life here... It will bring hope for endangered cardiovascular patients, regardless of whether you are rich or poor.
再见了,我的朋友!
Farewell, my friends!
补记:我终于活过来了!
Update: I have finally survived!
当我周身插着各种管子躺在监护室里昏睡着,只觉得有人拍了拍我的脸,说: “醒醒吧,雅文大姐!今天是3月16日了。手术做完了,给你搭了六个桥,把你破碎的心修好了。”
As I lay in the intensive care unit, with various tubes inserted all over my body, I was in a drowsy state. I felt someone gently patting my face and saying, "Wake up, Sister Yawen! Today is March 16th. The surgery is done, and they have performed six bypass grafts to repair your broken heart."
我听出是刘晓程,却睁不开眼睛。我的第一反应是:我还活着！但又不太敢相信,这么快就手术完了,不太可能吧?我哪里知道,从3月15日上午9点20分我被推进手术室,已经过去二十多个小时了。医生从我两只小臂及胸内取下3支动脉,为我心脏搭了 6个桥,手术做得非常成功。
I recognized the voice as Liu Xiaocheng's, but I couldn't open my eyes. My initial reaction was: I'm still alive! But I couldn't quite believe it. Could the surgery really be over so quickly? Little did I know that more than twenty hours had passed since I was wheeled into the operating room at 9:20 am on March 15th. The doctors took three arteries from my forearms and chest to create six bypass grafts for my heart. The surgery was a great success.
当确信一切都是真的,我无法描述我对刘晓程及所有医护人员的那份感激,任何语言都是苍白、无カ的,只有真正“死”过一回,亲身经历过获得第二次生命的人,才能体会到什么叫救命之恩。
Once I was certain that it was all real, I couldn't describe the gratitude I felt towards Liu Xiaocheng and all the medical staff. Any words would be pale and insufficient. Only someone who has truly "died" once and experienced receiving a second chance at life can understand the profound sense of gratitude for being saved.
接下来,在我处于极度虚弱,刀口剧痛,连咳痰、翻身、喝水一切都不能自理的日子里,我受到医护人员的百般呵护。从监护室到普通病房,从护士长、护士、护エ到林文华副主任以及我的外科主治医生王正清,都时刻监护着我的病情,帮我服药、捶背、翻身、洗头……对我照顾得无微不至。
Next, during the days when I was extremely weak, experiencing intense pain from the incision, unable to do anything independently, even coughing, turning over, or drinking water, I received meticulous care from the medical staff. From the intensive care unit to the regular ward, from the head nurse, nurses, and attendants to the associate chief physicians Wenhua and my attending surgeon Wang Zhengqing, they constantly monitored my condition, helped me with medication, massaged my back, assisted with turning over, and even washed my hair... They took care of me in every detail.
我第一次感到病人在医院里是主人,而不是处处要看医护人员脸色甚至用“红包”去取悦他们的“小媳妇”。可我仍然心存疑虑:是不是因为我采访过刘晓程,所以他们对我格外关照?
For the first time, I felt like a patient was the master in the hospital, rather than having to constantly please the medical staff or even give "red envelopes" to win their favor. But I still had doubts: Was it because I had interviewed Liu Xiaocheng that they were especially attentive to me?
林文华副主任的一句话,使我感到ー丝释疑。他说:“这里是一年一签合同,实行全员聘任制。所以人人都要把自己最优秀的一面展现给患者,展现给工作。”
看来,体制决定着一切。
Words from the associate chief physicians Lin Wenhua alleviated my doubts. He said, "Here, we have annual contracts and implement a system where all staff members are appointed. Therefore, everyone has to show their best side to the patients and in their work." It seems that the system determines everything.
我能下地走动了,看到许多病友都享受着和我同样的待遇,听到病友对医护人员赞不绝ロ,我还采访了两名外国病人,心中的疑虑这オ打消。
I was able to walk around and see many fellow patients enjoying the same level of care as me. I heard praises from patients towards the medical staff, and I even interviewed two foreign patients. The doubts in my heart were then completely dispelled.
46岁的艾尔伯特是来华工作的加拿大人,3月22日半夜11点,突发心梗,凌晨2点,被救护车送到泰达国际心血管病医院急诊室。当时,他胸痛剧烈,血压下降,病情危重。
Albert, a 46-year-old Canadian working in China, experienced a sudden heart attack at 11:00 pm on March 22nd. By 2:00 am, he was brought to the emergency room of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) by an ambulance. At that time, he was suffering from severe chest pain, a drop in blood pressure, and his condition was critical.
曾在加拿大工作多年的内科主任齐向前医生,立刻给他做了心脏介入手术,放了一个支架,病情明显改善,第二天就下床走动了。但要彻底解决心脏问题,还需做搭桥手术。但加拿大保险公司不相信中国的医疗技术,不同意支付艾尔伯特的保险。艾尔伯特却说:“不支付我自费也要做!这医院太好了。
Dr. Qi Xiangqian, the chief of medicine who had worked in Canada for many years, immediately performed interventional cardiology on him, placing a stent. His condition significantly improved, and the next day he was able to get out of bed and walk. However, to completely resolve his heart problem, he needed to undergo Coronary artery bypass grafting. The Canadian insurance company, however, did not believe in the medical technology in China and refused to cover Albert's insurance. However, Albert said, "Even if I have to pay out of my own pocket, I want to have the surgery done in this hospital. It's excellent here.
在加拿大,只有我太太照顾我,在这里大家都来照顾我,我非常满意。”后来,加拿大保险公司给刘晓程打来电话,最终同意支付艾尔伯特的保险。于是,艾尔伯特成为发达国家在中国做心脏搭桥手术的第一人。而且,加拿大的保险公司与泰达国际心血管医院正式签约,今后加拿大人在中国突发心脏病,都到该院来就诊。
In Canada, only my wife look after me, but here everyone takes good care of me, and I am very satisfied." Later, the Canadian insurance company called Liu Xiaocheng and ultimately agreed to cover Albert's insurance. As a result, Albert became the first person from a developed country to undergo Coronary artery bypass grafting in China. Moreover, the Canadian insurance company officially signed a contract with TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH), so that in the future, if Canadians experience a sudden heart attack in China, they can come to this hospital for treatment.
但是,台湾出生的美籍华人陈先生就没这么幸运了。51岁的陈先生在外企中芯国际公司任职,3月12日凌晨1点,突发心梗,凌晨2点,被救护车送进天津某大医院急诊,一直等到下午2点,陈先生已经神志不清,医院オ为他做了心脏造影,并放入ー个支架。
However, Mr. Chen, a Taiwanese-born American citizen, was not as fortunate. Mr. Chen is 51 years old and works in Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation. At 1:00 am on March 12th, he experienced a sudden heart attack and was brought to an emergency room in a major hospital in Tianjin by an ambulance at 2:00 am. He had to wait until 2:00 pm in the afternoon, by which time Mr. Chen was already in an altered state of consciousness. The hospital then performed a cardiac angiography and inserted a stent for him.
医生说他心脏发生弥漫性病变,需要做搭桥手术,但远端血管太细,搭桥只能解决80%的问题。陈先生夫妇感到痛苦而茫然,跟医护人员搞得很不愉快。有关保险公司同意用直升机送陈先生去香港或台湾手术,又怕途中发生意外。
The doctor said that he had diffuse coronary artery disease and needed to undergo Coronary artery bypass grafting. However, the distal blood vessels were too narrow, and the bypass surgery could only solve 80% of the problem. Mr. Chen and his wife felt distressed and bewildered, which led to a tense relationship with the medical staff. The insurance company agreed to transport Mr. Chen to Hong Kong or Taiwan by helicopter for the surgery, but they were concerned about potential accidents during the journey.
这时,台湾长庚医院著名心脏专家李英雄先生通过朋友打来电话,让陈先生立刻去找刘晓程。于是,他们来到国际心血管病医院。看过造影片子,刘晓程说: “我可以解决你全部的心脏问题。”
At this time, Dr. Li Yingxiong, a renowned cardiac specialist from Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, called Mr. Chen through a friend and urged him to immediately seek Liu Xiaocheng's assistance. Consequently, they went to TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH). After reviewing the angiography films, Liu Xiaocheng said, "I can solve all of your heart problems."
陈夫人顿时激动得热泪盈眶:“上帝,我们终于从地狱逃了出来,来到了天堂。我真不敢相信中国还有这么好的医院,这么好的医生!真不知该如何感谢你们ド’
刘晓程为两名外国人成功地各搭了五个桥,目前二人均已康复。后来,陈先生听说医院为ー个被遗弃的孤儿做手术,还寄来了 10000元赞助费。
Mrs. Chen was instantly moved and tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "Oh my God, we have finally escaped from hell and arrived in heaven. I can't believe there is such a good hospital and such excellent doctors in China! I don't know how to thank you enough." Liu Xiaocheng successfully performed five bypass surgeries for the two foreigners, and both of them have since recovered. Later, Mr. Chen heard that the hospital had performed surgery on an abandoned orphan and sent a sponsorship fee of 10,000 yuan.
术后第19天,我怀着虽然虚弱但却“健康”的心,带着外科全体护士送给我的中国“同心结”,带着内、外科主治医生的叮嘱,在我先生和孩子的陪同下,踏上了回家的路。
On the 19th day after the surgery, with a weak but "healthy" heart, I embarked on the journey back home accompanied by my husband and child, carrying the Chinese "heart knot" given to me by the surgical nurses and the instructions from the attending surgeons in both the general surgery and the cardiac surgery departments.
没有比此时此刻更能体会活着是多么美好的了。
There is no better moment than this to truly appreciate how wonderful it is to be alive.
坐在车里,有一种恍若隔世之感,对窗外的一切感到既陌生,又亲切,有一种看不够的贪婪。20天前还枯黄的树已经变绿了,ー排排小白桦顶着鹅黄色的新绿, 在风中轻轻摇曳。阳光暖暖的,风柔柔的,树绿绿的,一切都是那么美好。来时的灰暗心情已经全部消失,生命又属于我了,我心中又充满了新的希望。
Sitting in the car, I feel a sense of detachment from the world outside. Everything appearing is both unfamiliar and familiar. I, with a greedy desire, try to take it all in. The trees, once withered and yellow just 20 days ago, are now lush green; rows of small white birches are adorned with a fresh golden green, gently swaying in the wind. The sunlight is warm, the breeze is gentle, the trees are verdant—everything is so beautiful. The gloomy mood I had when I arrived has completely vanished, and life belongs to me once again, filling my heart with new hopes.
一路上,我一直在为自己庆幸,庆幸上苍让我结识了刘晓程,结识了这所医院。可是,另一种思绪却不时地缠绕着我,令我胡思乱想……
Throughout the journey, I have been grateful for myself, grateful that fate allowed me to meet Liu Xiaocheng and come to this hospital. However, another thought occasionally lingers and troubles me, causing my mind to wander...
我在想,假如那位朋友没有邀我来采访刘晓程,那么,我对自己的病情可能ー直糊里糊涂的,说不定哪天会突发心梗……假如我不是一名作家,不享受医保,我只是穷山沟里一名农妇,或者只是一名每月仅有一二百元的下岗女工,根本没有能カ支付两次十几万元的手术费用,那么,我将如何面对这场灾难?又将会有怎样ー番人生结局?
I wonder, what if my friend didn't invite me to interview Liu Xiaocheng? Then, I might have remained oblivious to my own condition, and who knows, one day I might have suffered a sudden heart attack... If I weren't a writer, but someone without medical insurance such as a peasant woman living in a poverty-stricken mountain village, or a laid-off female worker surviving on a monthly income of only a couple hundred yuan, how would I face this catastrophe? What would be the outcome of my life?
转而又想,我那400万像我一样徘徊于生死边缘的心脏病同胞,他们什么时候也能像我ー样,获得手术机会,轻轻松松地活下去?中国老百姓看病贵、手术难的问题,什么时候才能真正得到解决?
On the other hand, I think of the 4 million heart disease patients who, like me, are teetering on the edge of life and death. When will they have the opportunity to undergo surgery and continue living easily ? When will the problems of expensive medical expenses and inaccessibility surgeries for the Chinese people truly be resolved?
最后,我要告诉朋友们:好好珍爱自己的生命吧,生命属于我们只有一次!
Lastly, I want to tell my friends: Please cherish your lives, for we only have one life to live!

卷四：8.难回故里
难回故里 Hard to go back home
郭冬
我舅,台湾海军陆战队上尉,河南籍老兵,一生中挫折大于平顺。像很多漂泊的中国人ー样,他把“回家”当成了无可置疑的生命追求与归宿,然而“叶落”却未能“归根”。
My uncle was a former Taiwan Marine Corps (TMC) captain from Henan province, who encountered more setbacks than smooth sailing throughout his life. Like many wandering Chinese people, he considered "going home" as an their pursuit and destination in life. However, the "fallen leaves" were unable to "return to their roots."
舅舅走了,和他相同命运的老兵已经或即将抵达天国。这些被政治强カ所侵吞的ー批特殊人,早被自己原先所属的社会所抛弃,因而他们就比其他海外游子, 更渴望被原来的生存空间接受。
My uncle passed away, and so did other veterans who suffered the same fate . These victims of politics, have long been abandoned by the society they originally belonged to. Therefore, they yearn more than other overseas compatriots to be accepted by their homeland.
他们正在带走ー个时代,那个时代中关于他们的秘密,将沉入深不可测的海底,无声无息地融化。而他们,这些在历史记录中原本就是缺位或ー笔带过的小人物群体,再过二三十年,也就成了远离后人记忆的缥缈的孤帆远影。
They are taking away an era with them, and the secrets about them from that era will sink under the sea and dissolved into nothingness. As for them, this group of insignificant individuals who were not recorded in history or just briefly mentioned, they will not be remembered in another twenty or thirty years.
当舅舅在台北荣民总医院辞世时,我清楚,夺走舅舅生命的,剥夺他回家意愿的,不仅仅是病魔,甚至不仅仅是众所周知的两岸局势。
When my uncle passed away at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, it became clear to me that what took his life and kept him from returning home was not only his illness but also the Cross-strait tensions.
第一章你从哪里来,我的舅舅
Chapter 1 The truth of uncle's origins
初次见面
First Encounter
1988年4月23日,ー个普通的日子,母亲派我接舅舅。
April 23, 1988, an ordinary day. My mother sent me to pick up my uncle at the train station.
母亲交代的线索是,你舅洪洲,57岁,台湾人,乘坐京广线列车抵达北京站。
The only clue my mother gave me was that my uncle, Hongzhou, 57 years old, a Taiwanese, would arrive at Beijing railway station by train.
我不知道这个年月会被载进中国当代史,一当然,舅舅并非历史人物,他在庞大的台湾海军陆战队中,不过是个退役上尉;我也没有意识到ー个世人瞩目的事件正急剧降落到我们居住的这片土地上。
Little did I know that this date would be recorded in contemporary Chinese history. Of course, my uncle was not a historical figure; he was just a retired captain in the Taiwan Marine Corps (TMC) . Nor was I aware that a momentous event was about to rapidly descend upon the land where we resided.
没有车次、时间,只有等待。我站在熙熙攘攘的人流中,ー见港台模样的壮年男性出站,就迎上搭话:“请问是洪洲先生吗? ”
Without knowing the train number or time, all I could do was wait. Standing among the bustling crowds, whenever I saw a middle-aged man who appeared to be from Hong Kong or Taiwan, I approached and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Hongzhou?"
“不,不是,不是不是。”
"No, no, I'm not. "
无数张矜持或自负的脸面从身边闪过,无数只滑轮皮箱从脚边拉走
Countless faces flashed by, and numerous wheeled suitcases were pulled away at my feet.
那个下午,我伫立在北京站出口,足足等了两个小时。
That afternoon, I stood at the exit of Beijing railway station, waiting for a full two hours.
I turned around and headed home, thinking to myself, "I won't wait anymore. When he left home years ago, he made my grandmother wait in anguish for a lifetime. Now it's my turn to wait."
姥姥临终前对舅舅的评价是,到底不是亲生儿子啊,说走就走了,连个信也没有。姥姥对舅舅的彻底失望,使我一直不肯原谅这个没有见过面的人。
Upon her death, my grandmother's last impression of my uncle was that he wasn't her biological son after all and that's why he left without saying a word or leaving a letter. My grandmother's complete disappointment made me unwilling to forgive my uncle, even though I had never met him.
我掉头往家走,心说:不等了,当年他离家出走,让姥姥苦等了一生,现在又轮到我来等。
Thus, I turned around and headed home, thinking to myself, "I don’t want to wait anymore. When he left home years ago, he made my grandmother wait in anguish for a lifetime. Now it's my turn to wait."
第二天凌晨,尖锐的电话铃声长响不断,是母亲的电话。她的语气充满兴奋: “你舅昨天午夜到家,飞机降落在天津,他是从天津搭乘出租车到北京的。”
The next early morning, the telephone kept ringing . It was my mother calling. Her voice was filled with excitement. "Your uncle arrived home yesterday at midnight. The plane he had took landed in Tianjin, and then he took a taxi from there to Beijing."
我才知道,舅舅作为台湾当局“允许民众赴大陆探亲”方案实施后的首批老兵之一,是从台湾飞到香港,后经罗湖口岸到广州,再到北京的。他们这些想家想了近40年的人们相约着出来,就像鸟儿逃离了樊笼。
That's when I learned that as one of the first batch of veterans allowed by the Taiwan authorities to visit the mainland under the "Allowing People to Visit the Mainland" program, my uncle flew from Taiwan to Hong Kong, then crossed the Luohu Port to Guangzhou, and finally arrived in Beijing by train. These people who had been missing home for nearly 40 years made an appointment to visit their home in mainland, just like birds finally escaping from their cage.
舅舅没能购买到从广州直达北京的火车票。他在信中说,想圆梦,沿着京广线一路看下来,看内地,看河南,看黄河,ー解思乡之苦。
My uncle failed to buy a ticket of the nonstop train from Guangzhou to Beijing. In his letter, he mentioned that he want to fulfill his dream of traveling along the Jingguang Railway where he can see the mainland, the Henan province and the Yellow River so as to relieve his homesickness.
1988年的广州车站售票窗口前,人头攒动,纷乱熙攘。舅舅已经不习惯无序状态,惊讶地注视着推来操去的人潮。他不知道,大陆的改革正从这个门户,壮阔地涌向北方大地。
In 1988, the ticket windowa at Guangzhou railway station was crowded and chaotic. My uncle, not accustomed to such disorder, watched in astonishment as the bustling crowds moved around. Little did he know that the reforms in mainland China were surging towards the northern lands through this gateway.
有人走到他身边,是票贩子。“北京软卧哦?没福气啦!”贩子劝他,“改搭飞机快得很咧!”舅舅急于逃离广州,立马从皮夹里抽出美元,以3倍价格购买了抵达天津而不是北京的飞机票。
Someone approached him; it was a scalper. "Soft sleeper to Beijing? What a pity! No ticket left! " . The scalper persuaded him, "Take a plane instead; it's much faster!" Eager to escape Guangzhou, my uncle immediately took out US dollars from his wallet and purchased a plane ticket to Tianjin instead of Beijing for triple the price.
我直奔母亲家,推开门,正见舅舅的笑脸。
I rushed to my mother's house, pushed open the door, and saw my uncle's smiling face.
ー股暖暖情谊径直地流淌到我心里。
My heart was warmed immediately by some kind of kinship.
这就是后来留在我印象里的舅舅。他壮壮实实,腰板挺得很直,是那种训练有素的军人气质;他身着毛料西装,染过的头发有序地分梳在两边;眼睛不大,一笑就眯起来,显得很亲切。
That's my impression of my uncle from then on. He was sturdy and stood upright , displaying the demeanor of a highly trained military man. He wore a woolen suit, and his dyed hair was neatly combed on both sides. His eyes were not big, and narrowed when he smiled, which made him look so kind.
这是ー张和善的面孔,和善到让你忘记了姥姥的哀怨,忘记了几十年生活境遇的区别,忘记了彼此的距离,仿佛大家从来就是这样ー起生活,素无间隙。
He has a kind face, so kind that it made me forget my grandmother's resentment, forget decades of different life and the distance between us. It felt as if we had lived together all along.
舅舅第一次置身于我们这个人丁兴旺的大家庭,喜得不知怎么办オ好。他看看这个,看看那个,老是眯着眼笑。
Being in our big family for the first time, uncle was overwhelmed with joy, looked here and there and always had eyes squint when he smiled.我扎进厨房,赶紧干活。在中国人欢聚的场合,吃饭是第一位的。
I hurried into the kitchen and start working. In Chinese family reunion, eating is of utmost importance.
舅舅随我进了厨房,慈爱地看着我,将红包塞给我。可能是青少年时代屡经冷遇,我一直不习惯收礼,再说昨天还在埋怨人家,今天咋好收红包呢?
My uncle followed me into the kitchen, looking at me lovingly and putting a red envelope into my hands. Due to the indifference I met with in teenage years, I was not accustomed to receiving gifts. Besides, I was complaining about him yesterday, so how could I accept his red envelope today?
舅舅看出了我的尴尬,用毋庸置疑的口气说:“小冬,这是’人头份’,大人小孩都有份!”他抓住我的手不放,很有力气。他的手又宽又厚,无名指上戴着ー个很大的绿翠戒指。
Seeing my embarrassment, uncle comforted, "Xiaodong, don't be shy . Take it. Everyone will have a red envelope. It's yours!" He held onto my hand firmly, his grip strong. His hands were big, with a large emerald ring on his ring finger.
舅舅在北京住了两个月。最让他骄傲的是,当返乡老兵凑在台北聊天时,旁人说大陆亲戚要钱要物,而舅舅却说他收到的东西多得带不走。在往后多年的日子里,一提这事,他就笑眯了双眼。
My uncle stayed in Beijing for two months. The proudest moment of him was when he chated with other veterans who had also come home, others were complaining that their mainland relatives asked him for money and gifts , while he could show off having received so many things that he couldn't take them all. In the following years, whenever this was mentioned, he would smile.
听妈妈讲那过去的事情
Listening to my mom tell the past events
“老天送给我们ー个舅舅。”
"God sent us an uncle." I said.
妈妈摇头:“哪里!你舅50多年前就在咱家落根,和咱们血脉相连了。” 妈妈就给我们兄弟姐妹讲开了一
My mom shook her head, saying, "No! Over 50 years ago, your uncle joined our family and we became part of each other ." My mom began to tell us siblings about the story of my uncle's origin.
你们都知道的,你舅不是我亲弟,这要从家世说起。
As you all know, your uncle is not my biological brother, but let's start with our family background.
你姥姥是河南人,家境殷实,嫁给你姥爷后,光景就差下来。可姥爷没让姥姥失望,他是个有远见的人,早早从商,到县城开办馒头铺,起名玉兴馍铺。凭着诚信发达,雇伙计,买骡子,还盖起了二层小楼。
Your grandmother was from Henan, and her family was well-off, but after marrying your grandfather, their fortunes declined. However, my grandfather didn't disappoint my grandmother. He was a visionary and started a business early on, opening a steamed bun shop in the county called Yuxing Steamed Bun Shop. Through honesty and hard work, he made a fortune, hired employees, bought mules, and even built a two-story building.
你们都知道孟子的话,“不孝有三,无后为大”,你姥姥接受的就是这种文化。她接连生养我们姐妹イ三,没有儿子。不管族人是否数落,她自己就被“无后”的观念压得抬不起头。痛苦的还在后头,我的姐姐和妹妹先后死于疾病, 只剩下我这个中腰的。尽管我从小学念到师范,成绩拔尖,远近有名,但都不能给这个家庭带来继承香火的荣耀。
According to Mencius, "Having no male heir was once considered as one of the three most unfilial behaviors." That was the cultural belief of your grandmother. She gave birth to us three sisters one after another but had no son. Regardless of whether our relatives criticized her, she was burdened by the concept of having no male heirs. Worse still, my older sister and younger sister died from illnesses, leaving only me, the middle child. Despite excelling academically and being well-known for my excellent academic performance from primary school to college, I couldn't bring the glory of carrying on the family's lineage.
一件偶然的事情挽救了这个家。那是1932年,时逢大灾,黄河泛滥,土路上满是背井离乡的人。有人捎来口信,说一家逃荒人要给儿子找条活路。
A chance event saved this family. It was in 1932 when a major disaster occurred. The Yellow River flooded, and the roads were filled with people forced to leave their homes. Someone brought news that a refugee family was looking for a chance for their son to live.
姥爷当即说:“咱认下这个儿,让他传宗接代。”姥姥自然同意,买了小孩衣服,我们一家三口搭坐驴车,往邻村赶了去。
Your grandfather immediately said, "Let's adopt this child and let him continue the family line." Of course, your grandmother agreed. We bought clothes for the child, and the three of us traveled by donkey cart to the neighboring village.
那是个风沙天,很冷。我们进了人家里,就见ー对衣衫褴褛的夫妻在等。
It was a windy and sandy day, very cold. As we entered the house, we saw a ragged couple waiting.
男孩2岁,没穿衣裳,裹在ー堆破布里。我伸出手指逗他,男孩闭着眼睛全无反应。他娘怕我们不要,赶紧解释:“小孩没奶吃,到现在还不会说话。”
The 2-year-old boy was not wearing clothes; he was wrapped in a pile of tattered cloth. I reached out my finger to play with him, but the boy kept his eyes closed and showed no response. His mother, fearing that we would dislike him, quickly explained, "The child have no breast milk to drink and still can't speak."
你姥姥的眼泪掉下来,低头给孩子穿衣裳,又掏出准备好的10块银圆,捧给逃荒人。那夫妻俩又喜又悲,千恩万谢地去了。走出门口,他们再次回头张望穿上了新衣裳的男孩,但孩子仍旧闭着眼睛没反应。
Tears welled up in your grandmother's eyes. She bent to dress the boy, then took the prepared 10 silver dollars and handed it to the refugee couple. The couple was both happy and sad, repeating their thanks as they left. As they walked out the door, they turned back to look at their child wearing new clothes, but he still had his eyes closed and showed no response.
你们猜得对,这就是舅舅了。
You guessed it right; that boy was my uncle.
家里算是有了儿子,之后请客接风,把男孩视为珍宝。
With a son in the family, we held a celebratory feast, regarding him as some kind of treasure.
当地一位有相面奇术的方士称:“这孩子命里缺水,必须取个多水的
名字。"
A local fortune-teller specialized in physiognomy said, "This child's destiny lacks water, so he must have a name associated with water."
一番推算之后,算命人拍了板:“水大为洪,有水必有洲,就叫’洪洲’吧。”
After some calculations, the fortune-teller said, "Water brings forth floods, and where there is water, there must be land. Let's name him 'Hongzhou' (Floodplain)."
我突然有了悟性,拦住妈妈的话:“是不是水太大,把舅舅放到了被水包围的 '洲‘ーー台湾岛?”
Getting the idea, I interrupted my mother, " That's why my uncle is destined to be confined to Taiwan Island?"
妈妈警告我:“不要乱讲话,你舅可能还不知道自己的身世!”
My mother warned me, "Don't speak recklessly. Your uncle may still not know his true identity!"
舅舅的回忆
Uncle's Memories
一夜之间,舅舅完成了身份的转换。
Overnight, my uncle underwent a complete transformation of identity.
他照样挺着军人的腰板,照样洋溢着军人的气质,可腰里拴上了妈妈家门的钥匙。他喜欢听钥匙啪啦啪啦撞击的声响,那意味着找到了家,他喜欢这种提示
He still stood upright like a soldier and exuded the qualities of a military man, but now he had the keys to my mother's house dangling from his belt. He enjoyed the sound of the keys clinking together, as it meant finding a home. He cherished such kind of reminder.
他哼着常香玉、马金凤、崔兰田的豫剧段子,进进出出居民楼。
He would hum the Yu opera excerpts of Chang Xiangyu, Ma Jinfeng, and Cui Lantian as he went in and out of residential buildings. 邻居们会说话儿:“是舅舅来啦?看您姐弟俩长得多像!"
The neighbors would say, " Your brother came to see you ? Look how much you siblings resemble each other!"
舅舅笑眯了眼:“亲姐弟能不像?”
Uncle would smile with narrowed eyes and say, "Can't siblings look alike?"
那时,我遍查报纸,都找不到河南豫剧团到京演出的消息,只好一趟趟送来赶制的豫剧录像带,像《卷席筒》《斩包拯》《穆桂英挂帅》《花木兰》《秦雪梅吊孝》《抬花轿》《香囊记》《陈三两爬堂》,足有二三十盘。那是舅舅最快乐的时光,他和着豫剧带子的旋律,用戴着绿翠戒指的大手,一下一下拍打着沙发扶手,不时哼唱出声来。
During that time, I searched through newspapers but couldn't find any news about the Henan Yu opera Troupe performing in Beijing. So I would diligently bring home videotapes of Yuzhou opera shows that were rushed and recorded, including "Rolling the Mat," "Zhan Baozheng," "Mu Guiying Takes Command," "Hua Mulan," "Qin Xuemei Mourns Her Mother," "Carrying the Bridal Sedan Chair," "Fragrant Sachet Chronicles," and "Chen Sanliang Climbs the Stage," totaling about twenty to thirty tapes. It was the happiest time for my uncle. He would accompany the melodies of the Yu opera tapes, using his big hands adorned with the green jade ring, repeatedly tapping the armrest of the sofa while occasionally humming along.
我知道,舅舅渴望这种温馨的家庭生活,已经很久了。但有时,他也会发出ー声悠长的叹息。
I knew that my uncle had long yearned for this warm family life. However, sometimes he would let out a long sigh.
我忍不住,就问舅舅为什么叹气。舅舅的眼圈红了:“想你姥姥咧,她一天好日子没过上,要是能像现在这样,手拉手,ー起看戏听戏,我死也知足了〇"
Unable to hold back, I asked my uncle why he sighed. His eyes welled up with tears as he replied, "I miss your grandmother. She never had a good life. If we could be like this now, holding hands and watching plays together, I would die content."
那天,舅舅向我讲述了他的童年一
That day, my uncle shared with me memories of his childhood.
你姥姥,我叫娘。在娘身边的日子,是我这辈子最有福气的时候。娘爱爹爱,我从2岁玩到6岁,凡事不愁。那时,咱家乡下有地,县城有铺,是出名的好人家。
Your Grandma, namely my mother. The days by mother's side were the happiest and most blessed times of my life. Mother and father both loved me. From the age of 2 to 6, I had nothing to worry about. Back then, our family had land in the countryside, and a shop in the county town, known for being well-off.
一次,馍铺伙计耍笑我的处境是要星星不给月亮,我ー听就吵着让爹给摘月亮。爹是铺东家,平常少言寡语,伙计害怕他,我可不怕。爹聪明,用剪子把蛋糕皎成月牙,月牙黄黄的,他捧在手心里哄我:“看,刚给我儿摘下的月亮,趁着软,快吃吧。”
Once, the employee from the steamed bun shop made a joke about me, saying I wanted stars but wouldn't settle for the moon. Hearing that, I insisted that dad pick the moon for me. Dad owned the shop and was usually reserved. The worker was afraid of him, but I wasn't. Dad was clever. He used scissors to shape a cake into a crescent moon, yellow and shining. He held it in his palm and coaxed me, saying, "Look,my baby. I just plucked this moon for you. It's soft now , so eat it quickly."
说来好笑,昨天你妈告诉我,就因为爹娘偏疼我,她那时还哭了咧。
It's really funny . Yesterday, your mother told me that she once cried because mom and dad favored me.
我像富家子弟那样,6岁念书。只要我愿意,爹能一直供我,可惜我不成器,ー进学堂就逃课,跑到村外瞎折腾,结果只念了两三年。这是我这辈子最悔的事。
I was like a rich child, staring going to scholl at the age of 6. As long as I wanted to study, dad will support me financially all the way.
Unfortunately, I was undeserving. I skipped classes as soon as I entered school and ran around outside the village aimlessly. As a result, I only studied for two or three years. It's the biggest regret of my life.
我闹出了圈,给家里惹过大祸。
Once, I did something that put the family in big trouble.
一次,绑匪趁我出村玩耍,劫了我,要价1〇担赎粮。尽管咱家不短吃喝, 可1担100斤,10担粮是1000斤啊,够全家吃上一年的。这对小生意人来说, 等于揭了房顶啦。
While I was playing outside the village and was taken away by
kidnappers who demanded a ransom of 500KG grains . Even though our family was not lacking in food, but the 500KG grains is enough to feed the whole family for a year. For small business people like us, it was a huge loss.
我被绑匪关在茅草屋里,心想爹ー准不赎我了,就闭着眼睛等死。那时, 我小心眼里好怕呀。
I was kept in a thatched hut by the kidnappers, thinking that dad must be unwilling to pay me. I closed my eyes, waiting for death. But actually I was so scared in my mind.
谁知没过多久,绑匪“咪当” 一声拉开门,朝我说:“你爹来了,回家吧。”
But soon, "Bang !" , the kidnappers opened the door saying, "Your father has come. Go home."
我以为是绑匪戏耍,不理他。可绑匪又说:“你爹来了,回家吧!”
I thought they were playing a trick on me, so I ignored them. But the bandits said again, "Your father has come. Go home!"
我腾地跳起来,站在屋门ロー看,可不,爹来了,正卸车哩。那骡车上码的粮食好高啊!我见着绑匪没哭,被关在茅草屋里没哭,可一见骡车上像小山一样的粮食,我哇地哭了!那是爹娘起早贪黑干活挣的哩!
I jumped up and looked out the door. That's exactly dad! He was unloading the "ransom grain". The grain on that mule cart was so massive ! I hadn't cried in front of the kidnappers and even when I was locked in the thatched hut. But when I saw a larege amount of"ransom grain" on the cart, I burst into tears! It was what mom and dad worked hard day and night to earn!
爹抱起我,用手帕给我抹泪。他的眼神,让我ー辈子忘不了,多疼爱、多怜惜!
卸完车,爹把我安顿在空车上,他ー个指头没戳,一句气话没说,搂着我就赶车回家。娘在村口等了一整天,她泪流满面地把我抱在怀里,我当时就感动得哭开了。就为这,我心里许下愿,要当孝子,日后为爹娘养老送终!
Dad lifted me up and wiped away my tears with a handkerchief and I will never forget his eyes that full of love and compassion!
After unloading the grian, dad settled me on the empty cart. He didn't scold me. Instead, he just hugged me and we hurried back home. Mother had been waiting at the village entrance all day. With tears streaming down her face, she held me in her arms, and at that moment, I was so moved that I cried and I promised to myself to be a filial son and support mom and dad in their old age.
家里的买卖越做越大,人家的馒头是一斤5个,咱的馒头随便抓起4个, ー称准有1斤多,不使碱,面白面暄,价钱还便宜。爹会做生意,给老客户发了优惠折子,回头客越来越多,馍铺就开了分号。爹成了县城里的人物,他仍旧少言寡语,可在街上一走,人们全迎着这位身着狐皮长袍的老板打招呼。爹不再干活,凡事不问,全交给账房管,伙计也多了起来。
The family business grew as years went by, for the steamed buns in our shop was not only cheap but also of good quality. And dad was good at doing business. He gave discounts to regular customers, bringing people back again and again. As a result, the steamed bun shop opened a branch. Dad became a prominent figure in the county but he remained reserved. When he walked on the street, people would greeted this boss a fox fur robe. Dad no longer worked and didn't ask about anything; everything was handed over to the accountant to manage, and there were more employees.
要是没有后来的变故,这个家的日子该有多好!
If it weren't for the changes later, we would live a much better life.
爹不大回家了,在外头娶了二房,就是你二姥姥。我们私下管她叫老二。
Father married a second wife outside and rarely came home.We privately called her "Lao Er" (Second).
当时,我是孩子,不明白爹为啥娶二房。俺娘是全村公认的美女子,她双眼皮,大眼睛,黑黑的头发拢在脑后,又能干又善良,我可为娘骄傲了。那ー次,娘哭了,哭过后,她平静地对爹说:“恁别在外头住,搬回来ー起过吧。”
At that time, I was a child and didn't understand why dad would marry a second wife. My mom was recognized as a beauty in the whole village with double eyelids, big eyes, and black hair tied at the back of her head. She was capable and kind-hearted, and I was so proud of my mom. That time, mom cried, and after crying, she said to dad calmly, "Don't live outside, move back home together."
就这样,老二进了家,我的好日子也到了头。这老二比娘年轻多了,仗着爹宠幸,把谁都不放在眼里。一天,那年轻女人戳着我的头说:“嘿,小子,你大了,不能吃白饭,卖馍去吧〇”老ニー句话就改变了我的身份,这样,我10岁那年,就成了小伙计,每日领馍外卖,回家报账交钱。卖不掉,没饭吃。
That's how Lao Er entered the family, and my good days came to an end. Lao Er was much younger than Mother, and she didn't care about anyone because dad favored her. One day, that young woman poked my head and said, "Hey, kid, you've grown up. You can't just eat for free. Go sell steamed buns!" Her words changed my status. So, at the age of 10, I became an worker of the shop, delivering steamed buns for takeaway every day. If I couldn't sell them, I had nothing to eat.
有一次,没卖完馍,老二不让吃饭。娘看见,不干了,她碰上讨饭逃荒的都送馍,咋能看我饿肚子?老二不怕娘,喊开了:“这小子是啥人,凭啥吃白饭?” 娘平时不多言语,可这会寸步不让:“啥人?他是我的儿,吃白饭也理当!”老ニー甩头,叭地把笼屉扣上了。
Once, when I failed to sell all the steamed buns, Lao Er didn't let me eat. Mom saw it and couldn't stand it anymore. She even gave away steamed buns to those who begged for food during famine times. How could she let me go hungry? Lao Er wasn't afraid of Mom，shouting, "Who is this kid? For what reason can he eat for free?" Mom, who usually didn't say much, stood her ground, "Who is he? He is my son! Of cause he can eat for free. " Lao Er turned her head, slammed the bamboo steamer shut.
平时的积恨涌上心头,我跺脚朝老二喊:“你个贱小婆!”
Resentment accumulated over the years surged within me. I stomped my feet, shouting at Lao Er, " What a wretched woman!"
我把“贱”字拉得又重又长。娘愣了,赶紧回身护住我。
I elongated the word "wretched" in a loud voice. Mom was stunned and quickly turned to protect me.
老二“嗷”地ー叫扑上来,隔着娘,照我脸上就是一巴掌。
Then Lao Er let out a loud roar and pounced on me, reaching across my mom to slap me in the face.
小冬啊,就从那时起,我右边的耳朵聋了,到现在还听不真。
From that moment, Dong, my right ear became deaf, and to this day, I still can't hear clearly.
后来,日本鬼子打来了,馍铺开不成了。我姐,就是你妈,去抗日;老二生了儿子,爹带着老二单过。自打那以后,这个家就散了,从此我再也没有见过爹。
Later, the Japanese invaders arrived, and the shop couldn't continue operating. My sister, namely your mother, then joined the War of Resistance Against Japan, while Lao Er gave birth to a son, and my father lived with her. Since then, our family fell apart, and I never saw my father again.
娘领着我躲日本兵,回到村里。娘种地纺线,有口馍,先给我吃;扯块布, 先给我做衣服。我懂事早,每日抢着帮娘担水劈柴,怕娘想姐心疼,总是哄着她高兴。要是用几个字形容我和娘这8年的日子,那就是:相依为命！后来, 抗战胜利了,姐来信让我们去江苏徐州找她,我们三口才算团聚了。
Mom led me to hide from the Japanese invaders and returned to our village. She worked in the fields and spun thread. As long as he got some food,she would give me first. And she would use any available cloth to make clothes for me. I matured early and eagerly helped my mother carry water and chop firewood every day. I was afraid that my mother would worry my sister and feel distressed, so I always tried to make her happy. If there are a few words to describe the last 8 years of my life with my mother, that will be we are dependent on each other! Later, when the war ended, my sister sent a letter inviting us to join her in Xuzhou, Jiangsu. It was only then that our small family could be reunited.
不知妈啥时进屋的。
I don't know when my mother entered the room.
妈插话:“洪洲呀,咱们从江苏徐州迁到湖南长沙,是1948年吧?”
She interjected, "Hongzhou, we moved from Xuzhou, Jiangsu to Changsha, Hunan in 1948, right?"
舅说:“是的,姐。”
Uncle said, "Yes, sister."
妈终于道出了应当在1948年说的话:“那是咱家最难的日子,你姐夫买了扁担夢筐,要你卖菜贴补家用,你、你怎么不吭一声就离开家了?”
Finally, my mother spoke about something that should have been said in 1948, "Those were the hardest days for our family. Your brother-in-law bought a carrying pole and a large bamboo basket, planing to let you sell vegetables to support the family. Why didn't you say a word and just leave home?"
我知道,这是舅舅最难过也是最难面对的事情。
I understood that this was the most difficult and painful thing for my uncle to face.
他挺直的腰板弯下来,声音低得像自语:“我那是被抓壮丁抓走了……” 妈的声音也软下来:“你知道咱娘伤心一辈子临终还念叨洪洲洪洲的吗?” 舅受不住了,他抬起头,眼眶里溢满泪水。
His straightened back bent down, murmuring, "I was taken away for conscription..." Mother's voice also softened. "Do you know that our mother was heartbroken her whole life and even muttered your name on her deathbed?" Uncle couldn't hold back anymore. He raised his head, tears overflowing from his eyes.
“我,我,我呀……”舅说,“我想娘想了一辈子啊,姐!”
“I, I, I...”Uncle said, "I’ve also missed our mother my whole life, sister!"
他爆发出一声男子汉的呜咽。
He let out a sob.
舅舅失踪的真相
The Truth behind Uncle's Disappearance
舅舅为什么出走? 我家两代老人为这个问题寻思了半辈子。现在,我从妈妈与舅舅断断续续的谈话中,摘出了下面这段家事。
Why did Uncle leave ? This question has puzzled two generations of our family for half a lifetime. Now, from the sporadic conversations between my mother and uncle, I have extracted the following family story.
让我们回到1948年的长沙。
Let's go back to the year 1948 in Changsha.
那时我还没出生,上面有三个哥姐。爸爸在20世纪末被中国作家协会授予抗战作家纪念牌,当年他是报纸主编,写过发过很多抗战诗歌,可战争ー结束,他就失业了。
I wasn't born yet, but there were three older siblings above me. At the end of the 20th century, my father was awarded the War of Resistance against Japanese Writer Commemorative Plaque by the Chinese Writers Association. He was a newspaper editor and had written and published many poems in the theme of War of Resistance against Japanese However, when the war ended, he became unemployed.
爸爸送爷爷去台湾时,停靠在广州黄埔港的轮船“噗噗”地冒着白汽。时任国民党军军官的爷爷紧紧拥抱着爸爸,颤声说:“我的儿子,报馆关张了,你失去薪俸, 老人孩子等着吃喝,为什么还留在大陆?”爸爸不回答为什么,只是坚定地重复: “我不走。”爷爷踏上轮船的那一刻,说了一句令爸爸终生难忘,后来几次转述给我的话:“你,真的相信那些’左‘派朋友?”
When my father accompanied my grandfather to Taiwan, the ship docked at Huangpu Port in Guangzhou was emitting white steam. My grandfather, who was then an officer of the National Army, held my father tightly in his arms and said in a quavered voice, "My son, the newspaper has closed down, you have lost your salary. The elderly and children are relying on you for food. Why are you still staying on the mainland?" My father didn't answer why, he just repeated, "I won't leave." At the moment my grandfather boarded the ship, he said something that my father would never forget, and later recounted to me several times: "Do you truly believe those 'leftist' friends?"
爸爸的眼泪流下来。这是父子俩多年不同的政见。
Tears streamed down my father's face. It was a disagreement in political views between father and son that lasted for many years.
招手,招手,招手;再见,再见,再见。
Waving,; goodbye.
那逐渐缩小的身影,最后消失了,永远消失在了两个人的生涯里。
That figure of grandfather became smaller and eventually disappeared, forever disappearing from the lives of those two individuals.
爸爸和爷爷从此没能再见。
From that day on, my father and grandfather were never able to see each other again.
冬季的长沙,空荡而寒冷。
Winter in Changsha, empty and cold.
爸妈、姥姥、舅舅和我哥姐,一家老少七口人围着炭盆吃饭。那时,爸爸做起小生意,妈妈钩织帽子外卖。不巧,幼小的哥姐赶上发烧,两支盘尼西林下去,家里就断了炊。
My parents, grandmother, uncle, and my older siblings, a family of seven, gathered around a charcoal brazier to eat. At that time, my father started a small business, and my mother crocheted hats to sell. Unfortunately, my older siblings fell ill with a fever. After paying for two doses of penicillin, our family go bankrupt, unable to afford food.
炭盆里发出的红光,越来越弱,最后,火星全熄了。姥姥叹着气,把炭盆扣到木门外,家里没钱买木炭了。妈妈钩织帽子的手,冻肿得老高。
The red glow from the charcoal brazier grew weaker and weaker until the sparks extinguished completely. Grandmother sighed and placed the brazier outside the wooden door. We couldn't afford to buy charcoal anymore. My mother's hands, used to crochet hats, were swollen from the cold.
那年舅舅18岁,挑着夢筐上街卖菜。
That year, my uncle was 18 years old and went out to sell vegetables carrying a large bamboo basket.
他心气老高,每逢迎着太阳上菜的时候,都在盘算ー个希望,咋能让家里的日子变ー变呢?
With high aspirations, whenever he faced the sun while selling vegetables, he pondered how to change the poor situation of our family.
变化的时刻来了。
Then, the moment of change arrived.
两个军人兜头迎上来,舅舅刚想招呼买菜,两人开口了 :“喂,送你去个吃饭的地方。”
Two soldiers approached him, and just as my uncle was about to greet them, they spoke: "Hey, we'll take you to a place where you'll have free food."
舅舅看势头不妙,抓起夢筐要跑,但一个人已经按住了他的肩。舅舅挣扎着喊:“我有娘,得问娘!”另ー个人随手撇了夢筐说:“先看看兵营再问娘。”
Sensing something is not right, my uncle grabbed the bamboo basket and tried to run, but one of the soldiers held onto his shoulder. Struggling, my uncle shouted, "I have a mother, I have to ask my mother!" The other person casually tossed aside the bamboo basket and said, "Let's see the barracks first, then ask your mother."
在抓兵人的押解下,舅舅挪动着双脚。
Under the escort of the soldiers, my uncle shuffled his feet.
那时,舅舅是个没有见过世面的乡村孩子,不知道全国的战争形势,不知道辽沈战役中解放军全歼国民党军47万人,淮海战役接着开打;不知道国民党军屡战屡败、屡败屡退,为补充兵力而大规模抓壮丁;不知道共产党已经在筹备建立中华人民共和国。
At that time, my uncle was a naive village boy who had barely left the village. He didn't know the overall war situation in the country, unaware that in the Liaoshen campaign, the Communist People's Liberation Army had annihilated 470,000 National Army, and the Huaihai Campaign was about to begin. He didn't know that the National Army had suffered repeated defeats and retreats, leading to the massive conscription of able-bodied men. He was unaware that the Communist Party of China was preparing to establish the People's Republic of China.
被50年后的舅舅评述为“是权カ之争也是治国方略之争”的这场国共战争, 给予当年舅舅的心理感受只是恐惧与茫然。舅舅分不清共产党、国民党、解放军、国民党军,更不知道自己成了壮丁。
This war between the Communists and the Nationalists, which my uncle would later describe as a "struggle for power and national governance strategy," only instilled fear and confusion in his young mind. He couldn't distinguish between the Communist Party of China(CPC), Kuomintang (or the Nationalist Party of China) , the Communist People's Liberation Army, and the National Army, let alone realize that he had become one of the conscripted men.
走啊走,太阳升高了。
Uncle walked and walked, and the sun rose higher.
舅舅心里也升起了一个太阳,早先盘算的那个希望亮堂起来:穿上一年半载军装,拿上钱回家,娘和姐就能吃饱饭了 !
In his heart, there was also a sun rising, illuminating the dreams he had been thinking about: "As long as I wear a military uniform for a year or two, then I get some money and go back home so that mom and sister could have enough to eat!
舅舅轻松起来,索性挣脱押解人的手臂,自己大步走进了兵营。
Feeling relieved, my uncle managed to free himself from the grip of the escorting soldiers and confidently strode into the barracks.
历史在这里停住了脚步,舅舅的农民身份就在这一刻结束,从此,他成了国民党军士兵。
From then on, my uncle's identity as a farmer ended. From then on, he became a soldier in the National Army.
第二章一江之隔
Chapter 2: Separated by a river
海峡这边与那边
On one side of the strait, and on the other
国民党军队伍不分日夜一径朝南开,舅舅慌起来,他知道家在北边,想逃走,可就地正法的案例使他的思维转了向。舅舅在这个乌合之众的群体里第一次认识了自己的智慧和组织能力,他鼓动伙伴,先干,瞅机会跑。
The National Army marched day and night, heading south without a break. My uncle grew anxious. He knew his home was in the north, and wanted to escape. However, given the risk of being condemned to death, he changed his mind. Within this 'rabble', my uncle discovered his own intelligence and organizational skills. He rallied his fellows and planned to take action and seize an opportunity to flee away.
军队再歇脚的时候,他们南行到了一个无名的小岛。所有的士兵都在叫骂,不明白军队为啥不打仗,径直朝远离家乡的蛮荒之地撤退。
When the army rested, they reached an unnamed small island. The soldiers were all cursing, unable to understand why the army didn't go to the battlefield and was instead retreating to a remote and desolate land far from their hometowns.
舅舅继承了爹娘少言寡语的性格,这使他在那批叫骂的士兵中显得老成稳重, 从而引起了长官的注意。几个月后,舅舅没找到逃跑机会,反倒ー步ー步升任当了排长,每日带着士兵在小岛上操练。

My uncle inherited his parents personality, being reserved, which made him appear more mature and steady among the soldiers who were cursing. This caught the attention of the commanding officer. Several months later, my uncle couldn't find an opportunity to escape, but instead, he was promoted step by step and became a platoon leader. Every day, he led the soldiers in training on the small island.
他后来对我说,在这段日子里,能够冲淡他思乡情绪的是ー只白色小狗。那狗儿每日夜间定时叫他起床查夜,于是舅舅就不管军规军法,醒了就抱着狗儿在兵营里巡查。新兵都害怕他的威严,说没见过排长的笑脸。可舅舅说,如果不是怕牵连整排人,他早开小差找娘去了 !
He later told me that during this time, the only thing that could alleviate his homesickness was a small white dog. The dog would wake him up every night to check the surroundings. So, my uncle disregarded military regulations. When he woke up, he would patrol the barracks while carrying the dog. The new recruits were all afraid of his authority, for they had never seen their platoon leader smile. But my uncle said that if it weren't for the fear of implicating the entire platoon, he would have secretly gone to find his mother!
小岛上的日子有了头,队伍集合待发。ー心一意指望回家的士兵,在茫茫大海的涛声中,在人民解放军的炮声中,在大船停泊、小船乱撞的码头,在万千士兵向北方捶胸顿足的哭喊声中,在无数人抓着绳梯苦苦爬向大船舱门的时刻,骤然明白了自己的处境。
The days on the small island came to an end, and the troops assembled for departure. The soldiers, who had hoped with all their hearts to return home, suddenly realized their situation amidst the sound of the roaring sea, the artillery fire from the Communist People's Liberation Army, the bustling docks with large and small ships colliding, the desperate cries and shouts of thousands of soldiers towards the northward direction, and the countless people desperately climbing the rope ladder to reach the entrance of the large ship
1949年,120万大陆国民党军人、军属分批登上了开赴台湾的舰艇。那时,舅舅撒手放走了悲声哀号的小白狗。
In 1949, 1.2 million mainland soldiers of the National Army and their families boarded the ships bound for Taiwan in batches. At that time, my uncle bid farewell to the grieving little white dog.
经过整编,舅舅进入了正规的海军陆战队。这海军陆战队是台军参谋本部直属的战略预备队,专门担负陆上、海上快速反应作战任务,是被视为“攻势作战”的兵种,也是被其他士兵羡慕的兵种。
After reorganization, my uncle entered the Taiwan Marine Corps (TMC). The Marine Corps was a strategic reserve force directly under the command of the General Staff Headquarters of The Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of China (MND). It was responsible for rapid response operations on land and at sea, considered a "offensive warfare" branch, and envied by other soldiers.
就在这个部队乱哄哄换防时,舅舅出乎意料地见到了一个极为重要的人。
Just as chaos ensued during the rotation of troops, my uncle unexpectedly saw a very important person.
那时,舅舅率队在台湾ー个小城市的车站待命。他正窝火的当儿,身边走过了几位年长军官。舅舅看呆了,为首的人儒雅挺拔,像谁呢……像、像、像姐夫!那当然不是姐夫,从年龄上说,应当是姐夫的父亲!
At that time, my uncle's unit was stationed at a train station in a small city in Taiwan. While he was feeling irritated, several senior military officers walked by him. My uncle was stunned when he saw the leader among them, who was refined and upright, resembling someone... , resembling my brother-in-law! Of course, it couldn't be my brother-in-law; considering the age, it should be my brother-in-law's father!
各位读者,舅舅的姐夫,就是我的父亲啊!
Dear readers, my uncle's brother-in-law is my father!
舅舅腾地跳起来,他知道,迟上几分钟,在人山人海中就永远找不到长官了!
My uncle jumped up in a hurry. He knew that if he hesitated for a few minutes, he would never be able to find the officer amidst the crowd!
舅舅火速冲上前,叭地立正、行礼。儒雅挺拔的长官站定,和蔼地说:“小鬼,你有事?”舅舅说:“长官,我姐夫是X X,您是不是……”
My uncle rushed forward, stood at attention, and saluted. The refined and upright officer stopped and kindly asked, "What's the matter, young lad?" My uncle said, "Sir, X X is my brother-in-law, are you his father?"
舅舅紧张地看着长官,好似那人决定着他的命运。长官笑了,一把抓住他的手说:“好哇好哇,我们是亲戚,我给你留个地址!”
My uncle nervously looked at the officer, as if that person held his fate in his hands. The officer smiled and grabbed his hand, saying, "Good, We're relatives. I'll leave you an address!"
我爷爷从勤务兵手里接过笔,匆匆写着字。这位高官在返回大陆无望的第二年,接走了除我父亲以外的所有家眷。
My grandfather took the pen from the orderly and hastily wrote down the address. In the second year when there was no hope of returning to the mainland, this high-ranking official took away all the family members except my father.
天助我家。许多年后,就是凭着这层关系,我们在台湾的叔叔姑姑,当然还有舅舅,到北京找到了我们一家。
Fortune favored our family. Many years later, it was through this connection that our relatives in Taiwan, including uncles, aunts, and of course, my uncle, found us in Beijing.
在台湾,不能忍受的事接连发生。最可怕的是头几年部队开不出饭,士兵日日以番薯、野菜充饥。
In Taiwan, unbearable things happened one after another. The most terrible thing was that for the first few years, the army couldn't provide enough food, and the soldiers had to rely on sweet potatoes and wild vegetables to alleviate their hunger.
官兵不知道,蒋介石当局与美国签署了有关共同防御的规定,把从大陆带来的黄金倾力投入军费里。几十年后公布的数字证明,20世纪50年代台湾军费开支占财政总预算的70%以上,60年代还占50%,而官兵与家属却在他们“同心同德、返乡复国”的教义下忍饥挨饿！
The soldiers didn't know that the Nationalist Government of Chiang Kai-shek had signed an agreement with the United States on joint defense, and they poured the gold brought from the mainland into military expenses. Decades later, the revealed figures proved that in the 1950s, Taiwan's military expenditure accounted for over 70% of the total budget, and in the 1960s, it still accounted for 50% or more. Meanwhile, the soldiers and their families suffered from hunger under the doctrine of "unity and return home."
从策略上看,蒋介石当局将台湾作为休养之地,推出“一年准备,两年反攻,三年扫荡,五年成功”的计划。也就是说,蒋介石当局预计在!954-1955年重新占领大陆。
From a strategic point of view, the Nationalist Government of Chiang Kai-shek saw Taiwan as a place for rest and implemented a plan called “prepare for one year, counterattack in two years, sweep out the enemy in three years and succeed within five years.” In other words, the Nationalist Government of Chiang Kai-shekes expected to reoccupy the mainland between 1954 and 1955.
成为牺牲品的,不光是1949年赴台的60万官兵与60万随军家眷,加上1950 年从海南岛、舟山群岛等地陆续赴台的官兵及家眷,赴台者已达200万之众。
The sacrifices included not only the 600,000 soldiers and 600,000 accompanying family members who went to Taiwan in 1949 but also the 2 million soldiers and their families who arrived in Taiwan from Hainan Island, Zhoushan Islands, and other places in 1950.
蒋介石当局只好草草安置眷属,台湾的学校、寺庙、农舍、牛棚塞满了大陆人。这些后来被称为“眷村”的贫民窟,全台湾有763个,眷户高达96082家。后来从眷村走出来的名人,比如宋楚瑜、吴小莉、李立群、邓丽君等人,在撤至台湾初期,都与他们的父兄共渡艰难,不得不以番薯、菜叶充饥。
The Nationalist Government of Chiang Kai-shek hastily settled the family members. Schools, temples, cottages, and cowsheds in Taiwan were packed with mainlanders. These slums, later known as "military dependents' villages," numbered 763 across Taiwan, with a total of 96,082 households. Many celebrities who later emerged, such as James Soong, Wu Xiaoli, Li Liqun, and Teresa Teng, experienced hardships with their fathers and brothers during the initial period of retreat to Taiwan and had to rely on sweet potatoes and vegetable leaves to satisfy their hunger.
就像割倒的韭菜那样,ー拨ー拨的士兵倒下去了。饥饿,浮肿,水土不服。
Like fallen chives, soldiers toppled one after another. Hunger, edema, and difficulties adapting to the new climate.
舅舅饿得头昏眼花,站不直身子。那年头,如果石头是软的,他也会往嘴里填。舅舅和老兵们凑ー堆,常常互相按脸按腿,比比谁按下去的小坑深,接下来就是骂娘,把这个龟孙那个龟孙的劣迹痛数一番,横竖不管军规军法。
My uncle was so hungry that he felt dizzy and couldn't stand up straight. In those days, if stones were soft, he would have stuffed them into his mouth. My uncle and the old soldiers gathered together and often pressed each other's faces and legs, competing to see whose indentations were deeper, and then they would curse and recount the shortcomings of officers, disregarding military rules and regulations.
之后就是痛哭。
After that, they would burst into tears.
台湾海峡被封锁了。再大胆的人也不敢冒“通敌叛国”罪名叨唠回家,于是, 士兵们就在军营里发疯般地哭爹喊娘。
The Taiwan Strait was blocked. Even the boldest individuals didn't dare to risk being accused of "collaboration and treason" and talk about going home. So, the soldiers went crazy in the barracks, crying and calling for their parents.
舅舅独自守着无边无涯的大海,一宿一宿地落泪,一宿一宿地与娘说话。他想起了我姥姥纺纱织布的情景,那时姥姥哼着豫剧唱腔,他围着织布机跑,边耍边应和;他想起了我姥姥牵着他的小手串门的情景,姥姥帮他穿上锦缎丝袄,戴上撑有两根铜棍花瓣的帽子,那花瓣一走ー颤,惹得一街娃儿艳羡;
My uncle guarded the boundless sea alone, night after night, shedding tears and talking to his mother who is far away from him. He recalled the scene of my grandmother spinning and weaving and humming the tunes of Yu opera while he ran around the loom, playing along. He remembered my grandmother holding his small hand as they visited their neighborhoods, my grandmother helping him put on a silk jacket embroidered with brocade, and wearing a hat with two copper stick petals, which would tremble as long as one moved, attracting envy from children on the street.
他想起了我姥姥受二姥姥排挤的情景,发誓终生保护我姥姥不受气;他甚至幻想满地跑着他洪洲的娃儿
He remembered my grandmother being mistreated by Lao Er and swore to protect my grandmother from any harm. He even fantasized about running around with his own children.
深沉难耐的苦,是从故乡从亲人中被剥离出来的孤独之苦。舅舅不知道,那苦オ刚刚萌芽,它将发芽长大,之后缠绕舅舅一生,逼得他后来几近发疯。
The deep and unbearable suffering was the loneliness caused by being separated from his homeland and loved ones. My uncle didn't know that this pain had just sprouted and would grow, haunting him for his entire life and almost driving him to madness.
退役的日子 Life after retirement
大半辈子的光阴,说没就没了
Half a lifetime of time vanished, just like that.
舅舅受不了部队里种种非人道束缚,以台湾海军陆战队第651团上尉副连长的职务提前退役,兵籍号码629581。按规定,他享有终身俸。由于习惯了简朴生活,他每月花销不多,后来又找了一份工作,日久天长,积蓄渐渐多起来〇
Unable to bear the inhumane restraints in the military, my uncle retired early from his position as a deputy platoon leader with the rank of captain in the Taiwan Marine Corps (TMC) 651st Regiment, with service number 629581. According to regulations, he was entitled to a lifelong pension. Since he was accustomed to a simple life, his monthly expenses were not high. Later, he found another job, and over time, his savings gradually increased.
Chapter Eleven
一天,他在同乡老柳家喝酒,悲痛中突然倒地,这时他才知道,无痕的是积淀进心底的哀伤。老柳太太果断地招呼人把舅舅抬进了医院。
One day, while drinking with fellow villagers at the Liu family's house, he suddenly collapsed in sorrow. It was then that he realized the hidden sorrow that had accumulated in his heart. Mrs. Liu decisively called for someone to take my uncle to the hospital.
心肌梗塞。
Heart Attack
医生说:“你岁数大了,不要吸烟不要喝酒不要急躁。”
The doctor said, "You're old, don't smoke, don't drink, and don't be irascible."
他听话,戒了烟酒,那时房价正低,他打算购买ー套房子,在台北过安生日子。
He followed the doctor's advice, quit smoking and drinking. At that time, housing prices were low, so he planned to buy a house and live a peaceful life in Taipei.
老柳太太也是河南人,这个家她说了算。爽快热情的柳太太当机立断:“洪洲兄弟,把房子盖我家房顶上,咱就成了一家人!”
Mrs. Liu, also from Henan, had the final say in their household. The generous and enthusiastic Mrs. Liu made up her mind, saying "Brother Hongzhou, let's just build a house on top of my house, and we'll become one family!"
这里是台北万大路,穷人居住的地方,面临着城市改造。
Liu’s house was on Wanda Road in Taipei where most people are poor and faced urban redevelopment.
舅舅犹豫,怕给别人添麻烦老柳是厚道人,退伍老兵,看太太定了调,就也カ劝舅舅搬了来。
My uncle hesitated, afraid of causing trouble for others. Mr. Liu, being an honest man and a retired soldier, saw that his wife had made up her mind and persuaded my uncle to move in as well.
舅舅禁不起两人劝说,敲定了,盖房!
Unable to resist their persuasion, my uncle agreed and they started building the house!
盖了三间。原来楼下的三间,柳先生一家照旧住;楼上新起的三间,是舅舅的家。后来,舅舅说,那盖房钱足够在好地界买套新房。
Three rooms were built in total. The original three rooms downstairs remained occupied by the Liu family, while the newly built three rooms upstairs became my uncle's home. Later, my uncle said that the money spent on building the house would have been enough to buy a new house in a better location.
就这样,舅舅成了柳家人。每日下班回来,一起吃饭、打牌、聊天,倒也其乐融融。
可后来,舅舅发现事情不对,柳太太掌管着老柳的账目,也月月收走他的退休金,
That's how my uncle became a member of the Liu family. They would eat together, play cards, and chat after work every day.But later, my uncle discovered that something was wrong. Mrs. Liu controlled Mr. Liu's finances and would even take away his retirement pension every month.
舅舅开销得伸手要钱。
My uncle had to ask her for money to cover his expenses.
舅舅不愿被管束,在ー次取来退休金后,留下一半,柳太太就变了脸。
My uncle didn't want to be controlled, so one day he withdraw his retirement pension on his own but left half of it . However, Mrs. Liu's attitude changed.
这之后,柳家的孙子孙女三天两头缠着舅舅要零花钱,柳太太与女儿每逢出国旅游也张ロ朝舅舅要钱。
After that, the grandchildren of the Liu family would frequently pester my uncle for pocket money, and Mrs. Liu and her daughter would often ask my uncle for money whenever they went on international trips.
舅舅每日上班,越来越少在柳家吃饭,也越来越懒得爬回自己的二楼新居,但仍旧仗义地缴纳着生活费,也照样管着柳家孙子孙女的零花钱。他有时也反问自己:咋把日子过成这样了呢?但他总是有理由说服自己:人家把你送进医院救了你的命,这恩情不比啥大?
My uncle started to work everyday so he ate less and less at the Liu family's house. He also didn't go back to his new apartment, but he still paid his share of the living expenses and continued to give pocket money to the Liu family's grandchildren. Sometimes he questioned himself, "How did I end up living like this?" But he always found reasons to convince himself: "They saved your life by sending you to the hospital. Isn't this favor just as significant?"
寻找大陆亲人
Searching for mainland relatives
当年血气方刚的士兵,背驼了,腰弯了,白发上头了。许多老兵如同当年舅舅的景况,在路上被抓到兵营,家里毫不知情,因此,多年来,他们只想传递给亲人ー句话,就一句:我活着。为这三个字,老兵们忍了十年、十年又十年,但后来不能忍了,爹娘逐渐衰老了。他们开始冒着坐牢的危险相聚,商讨怎样将话递给爹娘。
Those young and spirited soldiers of the past have now become hunched, bent, and with gray hair. Many veterans, just like my uncle back then, were captured on the road and taken to military camps without telling their families. For many years, all they wanted to convey to their loved ones was "I am alive." The veterans endured for ten years, then another ten years, all for those three words. But eventually, they couldn't bear it any longer as their parents grew older. They began risking imprisonment to gather together and discuss how to deliver the message to their parents.
各位读者,这里说的“坐牢的危险”并不夸张。台湾作家廖信忠在《台湾老百姓自己的故事》里用“白色恐怖”形容当时台湾的政治氛围,“这个词对于台湾的意义,大部分就是指国民党自统治台湾以来对异议分子或嫌疑者的肃清及迫害。台湾人民长期处在这种环境里,有话不敢说,有意见不敢表达”;
Dear readers, the mention of the "danger of imprisonment" here is not an exaggeration. Taiwanese writer Liao Xinzong described the political atmosphere in Taiwan at that time as the "White Terror (Taiwan)" in his book Our Taiwan in These Years. This term mostly refers to the elimination and persecution of dissidents or suspects by the Kuomintang since they ruled Taiwan. The people of Taiwan lived in such an environment for a long time, where they dared not speak their minds or express their opinions."
廖信忠还提到这种政治高压对下一代的渗透:“蒋中正的影响カー直到20世纪80年代末90年代初都还存在,在我小学时都还要背’蒋公遗嘱’,音乐课也要学唱’蒋公纪念歌’;而每次老师ー提到蒋介石或'国父’孙中山先生时,大家都要正坐或立正一下表示尊敬。”
Liao Xinzong also mentioned the infiltration of this political pressure on the next generation: "Chiang Kai-shek's influence persisted until the late 1980s and early 1990s. . When I was in elementary school, we had to memorize "Chiang Kai-Shek 's Last Testament" and in music class, we had to sing the "Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Son". Whenever the teacher mentioned Chiang Kai-shek or Father of the Nation: Sun Yat-sen, we had to sit up straight or stand at attention to show respect."
20世纪80年代后期,我在台湾的叔叔委托我给他寄一本《鲁迅书信集》,按照他的指点,我首先将《鲁迅书信集》包上封皮,写上其他书名,寄至香港,然后由香港朋友改换成香港印刷品包装,再寄至台湾。叔叔在信中说:一定要谨慎,查出来是要坐牢的!
In the late 1980s, my uncle in Taiwan entrusted me to send him a copy of Selected letters of Lu Xun. Following his instructions, I first covered the book with a different book cover, wrote other book titles on it, and sent it to Hong Kong. Then, my friends in Hong Kong would replace the packaging with Hong Kong-printed materials before sending it to Taiwan. My uncle wrote in his letter: "Be careful, if it is discovered, we will go to jail!"
像老兵的忍耐达到极限ー样,这个时代的忍耐也涨到了极限。
Just like the veterans' endurance reached its limit, the endurance of that era also reached its limit.
1979年1月1日,全国人大常委会发表《告台湾同胞书》,称人民解放军停止对金门炮击,希望实现通航通邮。
On January 1, 1979, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress issued the "Message to Compatriots in Taiwan," ordering the Communist People's Liberation Army to stop the bombardment of Kinmen (Quemoy) and expressing the hope to open up postal and transportation (especially airline) links between Mainland China and Taiwan.

1981年,台湾《时报周刊》、台北《展望》杂志社就“中国统ー”主题举办专题座谈会。
In 1981, China Times Weekly (CTW) and Look Magazine in Taipei held special symposiums on the theme of "China's Reunification."
1982年6月,由蒋经国之子蒋孝武任社长的台湾《自由中国之声》杂志发表专论,主张中国和平统一分“三个阶段”进行。
In June 1982, an article was published in The Voice of Free China magazine, with Jiang Xiaowu, the son of Chiang Ching-kuo, serving as the president, advocating for peaceful reunification of China in "three stages."
后来,美籍华人陈香梅谈到了这段历史。她在2004年8月21日答新华社记者问时,披露台湾老兵回乡探亲问题由邓小平率先提出。她说,20世纪80年代初, 邓小平向她提议,可以先让在台湾的老兵回家探亲,说大家都是中国人,都有父母、兄弟姐妹、老婆、孩子。于是,陈女士就去台湾,向台湾方面转达了这层意思。
Later on, Chinese American Chen Xiangmei talked about this period of history. In an interview with Xinhua News Agency on August 21, 2004, she revealed that it was Deng Xiaoping who first proposed the idea of allowing Taiwanese veterans to return home to visit their families. She said that in the early 1980s, Deng Xiaoping proposed to her that veterans in Taiwan should be allowed to go home to visit their families, saying that we were all Chinese and had parents, brothers and sisters, wives and children. Consequently, Ms. Chen went to Taiwan to convey this message to the Taiwanese government.
老兵们从台湾当局禁止收听的大陆广播中,知晓了有关探亲的一切信息。就为邓小平上述通情达理的见识,舅舅念念不忘邓小平的恩德。他最后一次到北京时,有位艺人给他画像,把他的脸孔描画得蛮像邓小平,舅舅竟然乐出了声,把它带回台湾,贴在了自家墙头上。当然那是后来的事。
The veterans learned about all the information regarding visiting their families from mainland broadcasts that were prohibited by the Taiwanese government. Because of Deng Xiaoping's sensible insight, my uncle never forgot Deng Xiaoping's kindness. During his last visit to Beijing, an artist drew a portrait for him, depicting his face resembling Deng Xiaoping. My uncle was so delighted that he brought it back to Taiwan and hung it on the wall of his own home. Of course, that came later.
老兵们费尽心机地寻找着与家乡沟通的途径。功夫不负有心人,机会来了。
The veterans made every effort to find ways to communicate with their hometowns. Finally, their efforts paid off. The opportunity came.
那是ー个阳光明媚的日子,老兵们邀请几位赴台的香港生意人喝茶。戴着金丝眼镜的香港人很斯文很仗义,说都是中国人都是手足同胞都有父母妻小自然可以转信;老兵们感动得眼圈发红,说不会让他们白干,自会付些酬劳。
It was a sunny day when the veterans invited several Hong Kong businessmen who had visited Taiwan to have tea. These Hong Kong individuals, wearing wire-rimmed glasses, were cultured and generous in aiding needy people. They said that as compatriots who also have loved parents, wives, and children, they were ready to help them relay letters. The veterans were deeply moved, their eyes welling up with tears, and they vowed not to let the businessmen work for free.
香港人说,那就不客气了,在商言商,冒着杀头危险转信还是要多收些手续费的。老兵们放下茶碗,齐刷刷声明不怕花钱。香港人说生意人讲信用,你们五天后交信交钱,两个月后自会见到大陆亲人回信。
The Hong Kong individuals replied that they would not stand on ceremony. Business just does what business does. Given there was a risk of severe punishment, they would still charge a higher fee for relaying letters. The veterans put down their teacups and unanimously declared that no matter how much money it costs, they would pay for it. The Hong Kong businessmen asked the veterans to trust them, and to hand over the messages and payment after five days and promised that the veterans would receive letters from their relatives on the mainland within two months.
老兵们呼地站起来相拥而泣。他们全不顾茶馆高雅幽静的氛围,不睬茶客们抗议的目光,只管捶胸顿足,高喊老天开眼了。
The veterans suddenly stood up and embraced each other in tears. They paid no attention to the elegant and tranquil atmosphere of the tea house, ignoring the disapproving glances from other customers. Instead, they shouted desperately , "Heaven has finally opened its eyes!"
舅舅兴冲冲地跑到彰化市去找我叔叔要地址,爷爷和叔叔都住在彰化市。与舅舅比起来,我爷爷幸运得多,他早就托付九龙的朋友转信,舅舅去彰化时,爷爷、叔叔已经与爸爸互通过好几封信了。
My uncle hurriedly went to Changhua City to find my another uncle to ask for the address of my family. Both my grandfather and my another uncle lived in Changhua City. Compared to my uncle, my grandfather was much luckier. He had entrusted a friend in Kowloon to relay letters long before , and by the time my uncle went to Changhua, my grandfather and uncle had already exchanged several letters with my father.
我爷爷一生低调,信中从不炫耀个人业绩。父亲告诉我,爷爷オ华横溢,诗书棋画均有造诣,说我们后代无人能及。讲到通信,还有个趣事。我爷爷能写一手好字,他在托付九龙朋友转信前,就亲临香港将写给我父亲的信直接寄到了湖北云梦老家。爷爷当然不知道我们早到了北京,他的信居然没有被拦截,直接投递到了村庄。
My grandfather led a low-profile life and never boasted about personal achievements in his letters. My father told me that my grandfather was talented in various fields, including poetry, calligraphy, weiqi, and painting, surpassing any of his descendants. Speaking of exchanging letters, there is an interesting story. My grandfather had excellent handwriting. Before entrusting his friend in Kowloon to relay the letters, he personally went to Hong Kong to sent a letter to my father in Hubei Yunmeng, our ancestral hometown, during his visit to Hong Kong. Little did my grandfather know that we had already moved to Beijing. Surprisingly, his letter was not intercepted and was delivered directly to our village.
那是我们的“文化大革命”期间,海外来信一律被视为投敌叛国的证据,可就因为信封上的ー笔好字,生产大队会计舍不得上交,把它珍藏下来了。爷爷没能够坚持到我父亲以大陆作家身份访台的90年代,他老人家由于中风,在病榻上躺了几年,80年代后期就故在彰化了。
It was during the "Cultural Revolution," a time when overseas letters were considered evidence of betrayal or treason. However, because of the beautiful calligraphy on the envelope, the accountant at the production brigade couldn't bear to hand it over and kept it as a treasure. Unfortunately, my grandfather didn't live long enough to see my father visit Taiwan in the 1990s as a mainland writer. Due to a stroke, he spent the last few years of his life bedridden and passed away in Changhua in the late 1980s.
舅舅开始书写生平第一封信。他很不自信,不停涂改,后来还是把笔交到了老柳女儿个中学生手里。舅舅说一句,中学生写一句,正写在兴头上时,柳太太插了一句:“洪洲,你别是剃头挑子ー头热吧?”舅舅看了她一眼,发现她表情怪怪的,大有不愿意舅舅与大陆亲人联系之意。
My uncle began writing his first letter. Lacking confidence, he made constant revisions. In the end, he handed the pen to the daughter of Liu, a middle school student who wrote what my uncle said simultaneously. They were both quite engrossed in the process when Mrs. Liu interrupted and said, "Is it just spur of the moment?" My uncle glanced at her and noticed her strange expression, sensing that she was unwilling to let him establish contact with his mainland relatives.
老兵们的信足有一提包,连同另ー提包台币,以及几十年沉甸甸的期盼,全部交到了香港人下榻的饭店。戴着金丝眼镜的香港人仍旧很斯文很仗义,慢慢重复着请放心之类的安慰话;老兵们也仗义地邀请香港人喝酒,举杯庆祝就要实现的愿望,他们似乎已经难以承受即将到来的喜悦之重。
A full bag of the veterans' letters, another full bad Taiwanese dollars and decades of anticipation were entrusted to the hotel where the Hong Kong businessmen stayed. They still wearing their wire-rimmed glasses, remained cultured and generous, repeating comforting words like "please rest assured." In return, the veterans hospitably invited them for a drink, raising their glasses to celebrate the impending realization of their wishes. It seemed that they were overwhelmed with the joy that was about to come.
之后是等待,等待。ー个月,两个月,半年,所有的老兵都没有收到回信。
Then came the endless waiting. One month, two months, half a year passed,but none of the veterans received any replies.
ー个在老兵们心中多次跳闪的猜疑变成了判断,那被事实证明了的判断如同钢鞭一般直抽老兵们的心窝:香港人敛足钱,回港过好日子去了 !被欺骗的老兵悲愤地集体号啕,当他们醒悟到要清算几位香港人的无耻行为时,オ发现根本就没有留下他们的任何信息。
The suspicions that has risen in the veterans' hearts multiple times turned into fact, which was proven true and broke their hearts: those Hong Kong businessmen had taken the money and returned to Hong Kong to live a good life! The deceived veterans collectively wailed in sorrow and anger. When they realized they needed to hold several Hong Kong individuals accountable for their despicable actions, they discovered that there was no trace of their whereabouts.
天无绝人之路。与老兵一样,这个时代的有识之士在保持了数十年的缄默后, 迸发出ー叠震耳欲聋的吼声。
There is always a way when there seems to be none. Like the veterans, the enlightened individuals of this era, after decades of silence, letting out a deafening roar.
1986年4月,高雄市议会通过提案,要求国民党当局准许外省籍人士与大陆亲人通信,“以慰亲情”！
In April 1986, the Kaohsiung City Council passed a proposal demanding that the Kuomintang authorities allow Mainlander in Taiwan to communicate with their mainland relatives to relieve their homesickness.
1986年成立的民进党,主张“人权至上,不分党派,人道为先,亲情第一 ”,于
1987年初发动“返乡省亲运动” ！
In 1986, The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was established, advocating for "human rights supremacy, transcending party affiliation, prioritizing humanitarianism, and placing family ties first." In early 1987, they launched the "Homecoming and Family Reunion Movement"!
1987年4月18日,多位国民党籍“立委”提出质询,要求台湾当局重新检讨 “三不”政策,以符合现实需要!
On April 18, 1987, several Kuomintang "legislators" raised inquiries, demanding that the Taiwanese government reconsider the The Three-Noes Policy to meet the needs of reality!
1987年5月2日,台北6000余位大陆籍人士成立了 “外省人返乡探亲促进会”,要求准许他们返回大陆故乡。他们穿着写有“想家”两字的白衬衫,散发传单,游行示威。5月10日,他们齐聚台北中山纪念馆前,举办“遥念母亲”活动。这个组织的声明打动了无数人的心:
On May 2, 1987, more than 6,000 Mainlander in Taiwan in Taipei established the "Association for Promoting Homecoming Visits by Mainlander Taiwanese" and demanded permission to return to their mainland hometowns. They wore white shirts printed with words "Missing Home" and distributed leaflets while marching in demonstrations. On May 10, they gathered in front of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei and held an event called "Distant Thoughts of Mother." The declaration of this organization touched the hearts of countless people:
由于严厉的禁制,40多年来,多少人把刻骨铭心的思亲念头压抑在内心深处,我们已为国民党耗尽了宝贵的青春,并已沉默了40年,现在该是我们大家团结起来,站出来讲话的时候了。我们只求,父母若健在,让我们回去奉上一杯茶;若不在,则让我们回去献上一炷香
Due to strict restrictions, for over 40 years, many people have suppressed their heartfelt longing for their families deep inside. We have exhausted our precious youth for the Kuomintang and remained silent for 40 years. Now is the time for all of us to unite, speak up, and take action. We only ask that if our parents are still alive, let us go back and offer them a cup of tea; if they have passed away, let us go back and burn incense in their honor.
舅舅这个生有反骨的人,无疑支持所有抗议活动。他是国民党员,曾经信奉国民党中央,但当腐败现实击碎了他的返乡梦想之后,他就自由脱党,拒交党费了。
My rebellious uncle undoubtedly supported all the protest activities. He was a member of the Kuomintang and used to believe in the party's central leadership. However, when the harsh reality shattered his dream of returning home, he left the party and refused to pay party fees.
1987年初,蒋经国指示有关部门研议开放民众赴大陆探亲的可能性。
In early 1987, Chiang Ching-kuo instructed relevant departments to study the possibility of allowing the public to visit the mainland to reunite with their relatives.
1987年7月27日,台湾交通主管机关、内政主管机关联合宣布,解除自1979 年4月实行的不许台湾同胞以港澳作为出境旅游第一站的限制,允许台湾民众前往香港旅游,但不准进入大陆。此举使两岸离散的有钱人陆续前往香港会面。
On July 27, 1987, the Ministries of Transportation and Interior, jointly announced the lifting of restrictions that had been in place since April 1979, which prohibited Taiwanese compatriots from making Hong Kong or Macau their first destination for outbound travel. Taiwanese people were allowed to travel to Hong Kong but were not permitted to enter the mainland. This move led to the wealthy individuals who had been separated across the strait gradually traveling to Hong Kong for meetings.
1987年10月14日,国民党中常会通过了台湾居民赴大陆探亲方案,“允许民众赴大陆探亲;除现役军人及公职人员外,凡在大陆有血亲、姻亲、三等亲以内之亲属者,均可申请到大陆探亲”。
On October 14, 1987, the Kuomintang Central Standing Committee passed the proposal for Taiwan residents to visit the mainland, "allowing people to visit the mainland; except for active-duty military personnel and public officials, anyone with relatives up to the third degree of kinship on the mainland can apply to visit the mainland."
冰山坍塌了。
The iceberg collapsed.
这之前,我家也从爷爷信中知道了舅舅的地址,于是托香港朋友转信,一封、两封,在丢失了几封信以后,终于有一天,舅舅收到了我们的信,而我家也收到了舅舅通过香港朋友转寄来的信。
Before that, my family learned my uncle's address from my grandfather's letter. So we asked a friend in Hong Kong to forward the letters. After losing several letters, one day, my uncle finally received our letter, and my family also received the letter my uncle had sent through our friend in Hong Kong.
读者朋友,请注意这里,舅舅在万大路住所丢失过几封信,我后面还会提到这件事。
Dear readers, please pay attention here. My uncle lost several letters at his residence on Wanda Road, and I will mention this later.
从那以后,舅舅再不用别人代言,他用心一笔一画地向我们诉说着真情。
Since then, my uncle no longer needed someone else to write on his behalf. He personally write letters to convey his true feelings to us.
从1948年提着扁担夢筐跨出家门的那个早晨起,舅舅最不能忘记的,就是自己终日看惯了的、将头发盘在脑后的日日操劳的我姥姥。在他眼里,娘就是村庄, 就是家园。他盼了太多的时日,渴望像小时候那样在娘怀里哭泣、倾诉,可终于,这些期盼在1975年,他45岁正领兵操练的辛苦岁月,变成了永不能实现的梦想。
Since that morning when he stepped out of the house carrying a shoulder pole and a bamboo basket in 1948, the thing my uncle would never forget was my grandmother, who worked tirelessly every day with her hair tied up behind her head. In his eyes, grandmother was the village, the home. He had waited for too many years, longing to cry and confide in his mother's arms like he did when he was a child. But finally, in 1975, when he was 45 years old and leading troops in training, those hopes turned into an unattainable dream.
我姥姥是在当代中国的“史无前例”时代,因感冒转肺炎离世的。她熬到了 “文革”结束前1年,经历了我家最屈辱的日子。噩耗在10年后オ传递给了舅舅, 当舅舅从北京家信中知道姥姥病故的消息时,哭得瘫软在地上。他在心中一次次描绘的与娘相聚相拥的亲热画面,为爹娘端饭送水的温馨场面,都在那一刻坠落在地板上了。当时,舅舅就发誓,不能为爹娘养老送终,也要回乡建墓立碑。
During the "unprecedented" era of contemporary China my grandmother passed away due to a cold that turned into pneumonia. She endured until one year before the end of the Cultural Revolution and experienced the most humiliating days for our family. The news of her passing was transmitted to my uncle ten years later. When my uncle learned about my grandmother's death from the letters sent from our home in Beijing, he cried and collapsed on the ground. The warm scenes he had repeatedly imagined, reuniting and embracing his mother, serving meals and water to his parents, all vanished at that moment. At that time, my uncle swore that if fail to take care of his parents in their old age, he should return home to build graves and for them
后来,就有了 !988年4月23日,舅舅作为民众赴大陆探亲首批人中的ー员, 从台湾到香港到广州到天津,再到北京我们家的那次行动。
Later, on April 23, 1988, my uncle became one of the first group of people to visit the mainland for family reunions. He traveled from Taiwan to Hong Kong, then to Guangzhou, Tianjin, and finally to our home in Beijing.
那一次,我们不许舅舅花钱,送给他的东西不算,还为他购买了不少礼物。比如,送给台湾荣民总医院医生的珍贵狐皮,因为那位医生主刀救了他的命;送给柳太太的兰州夜光杯,因为柳太太在他病情发作时果断送他上医院劳苦功高;送给エ厂老板的宜兴紫砂茶具,因为老板对他很关照;送给エ厂小友的玉镯,因为小友们常给他过生日……
On that visit, we didn't let my uncle spend any money. Apart from the things we gave him, we also bought him many gifts. For example, we gave a precious fox coat to the doctor at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital because that doctor saved his life. We gave a Jiuquan luminous cup to Mrs. Liu because she decisively sent him to the hospital when his condition worsened with great dedication. We gave Yixing purple clay tea sets to the boss at the factory be cause the boss took good care of him. We gave a jade bracelet to the young friends at the factory because they often celebrated his birthday.
舅舅整理了两大皮箱礼物,满心欢喜,因为他能够以自己的方式还报台北朋友对他的关爱了。可是,他也发愁,这一路太辛苦,要从北京到广州,经罗湖口岸到香港,飞到台湾,再从台湾桃园机场回到台北万大路,
My uncle carefully packed two large suitcases of gifts, feeling joyful because he could repay the kindness of his friends in Taipei in his own way. But he also worried because the journey was too arduous, from Beijing to Guangzhou, passing through the Luohu Port to Hong Kong, then flying to Taiwan, and finally from Taoyuan Airport to Wanda Road in Taipei.
“到桃园机场是夜里,连公车都没有,只好搭计程车!”舅舅叹ロ气。我知道,舅舅舍不得乘坐出租车,他对别人大方,可把再少的钱花在自己身上也心疼。我担心的是另外一件事,这一路行程,对舅舅这样患有陈旧性心梗的病人来说,是个可怕的考验。
"When I arrived at Taoyuan Airport, it was late at night, and there were no buses. I had to take a taxi!" my uncle sighed. I knew my uncle was reluctant to take a taxi, for he was very stingy with himself
but generous to others but felt pained even spending a small amount of money on himself. However, I was concerned about another matter: this journey would be a terrible test for my uncle, a patient with a history of heart attacks.
舅舅历尽辛苦,终于回到台北了。后来我才知道,那夜,柳家全体人都开灯等候着舅舅。当他肩扛手提地跨进万大路家门时,老老少少都跑出来,把我们全家十几口人精心准备的大大小小礼物,兴奋地拉拽进了各自房间。当舅舅无奈地爬向二层自己的住所时,还能听见柳家女人孩子分抢东西的嬉闹声。如果不是因为后来柳太太与舅舅发生了剧烈的争吵,大概他们的日子会一直这样过下去。
My uncle went through hardships and finally returned to Taipei. Later, I learned that on that night, the entire Liu family turned on the lights waiting for him. When he shouldered his bag and stepped into the door of the Wanda Road house, people of all ages rushed out and excitedly dragged in the various gifts that our whole family had carefully prepared. As my uncle reluctantly climbed to his second-floor residence, I could still hear the playful noise of the Liu family's women and children fighting over the gifts. If it weren't for the intense quarrel that later broke out between Aunt Liu and my uncle, their days would probably have continued in this manner.

第三章第三次回大陆
Chapter 3: Return to the Mainland for the Third Time
回老家
Returning to Hometown
1990年10月,舅舅第三次到北京。他将返回河南老家为爹娘建墓立碑。
In October 1990, my uncle returned to Beijing for the third time. He was going back to our ancestral home in Henan to build graves for his parents.
前面说过,我姥姥生有三女,长女、三女早年夭折,因此姥姥随二女即我母亲生活,并拉扯大了我们五兄妹。姥姥故去后,她老人家的景泰蓝骨灰坛就供放在母亲家,像她老人家生前那样与我们照旧ー起生活。我姥爷根据新中国的一夫一妻制, 与二姥姥在贵州定居,姥爷于1962年故于灾荒,二姥姥还健在。
As I mentioned earlier, my maternal grandmother had three daughters. The eldest and the third daughter passed away at an early age. Therefore, my grandmother lived with her second daughter, who is my mother, and raised the five of us siblings. After my grandmother's passing, her blue-and-white porcelain urn was placed in my mother's house, just like when she was alive, continuing to be a part of our lives. According to the monogamous system in the new China, my grandfather settled in Guizhou with his second wife. My grandfather passed away in 1962 during a famine while his second wife is still alive.
亲爱的读者,下面的事情有些琐碎,可是,这些事情改变了舅舅的一段人生计划,所以请您慢慢看。
Dear readers, the following events may seem trivial, but they had a significant impact on my uncle's life plan, so please bear with me as I explain.
舅舅以他多年带兵形成的组织能力实施着自己的心愿。第一,他计划为我姥爷兄弟两人在老家各建一座墓,我姥爷的墓分为三室,除姥爷与姥姥各居一室外, 还留有二姥姥之位〇
Using his organizational skills developed over many years of leading troops, my uncle began implementing his plans. Firstly, he planned to build two tombs for my grandfather and his brother in our ancestral home. My grandfather's tomb had three chambers, with one chamber for my grandfather, one for my grandmother, and the remaining one for his second wife, Lao Er.
第二,他联系上了远在贵州的二姥姥,请求二姥姥同意为我姥爷移墓。第三,他联系上了我姥爷弟弟的孙子金柱,因为要为姥爷弟弟即金柱爷爷建墓,要金柱协助。
Secondly, he contacted Lao Er, who was living far away in Guizhou, and requested her permission to move my grandfather's tomb. Thirdly, he got in touch with Jinzhu, the grandson of my grandfather's brother, as he needed assistance in building a tomb for Jinzhu’s grandfather.
这三件事,舅舅筹备了两年半。除我二姥姥坚决拒绝为姥爷移葬外,其他事情都很顺利。舅舅偕我母亲先行赴县里联系丧葬事宜,我母亲在县里有些声望,县乡又注重政策,所以很快落实了墓地。其余,舅舅统筹安排,把活儿摊派下去,造墓的造墓,刻碑的刻碑,打棺材的打棺材,有条不紊。
My uncle spent two and a half years preparing for these three matters. Except for Lao Er adamantly refusing to move my grandfather's burial site, everything else went smoothly. My uncle and my mother went to the county in advance to handle the funeral arrangements. My mother had some influence in the county, and the local authorities also valued policies, so the cemetery was quickly arranged. With my uncle's overall planning and delegating of tasks, everything proceeded in an orderly manner. Those responsible for building the tombs built them, those responsible for carving the gravestones carved them, and those responsible for making the coffins made them, all in a systematic manner.
这里说的金柱,小我几岁,早年随他母亲从村里进了安阳市。他母亲开烟酒小店,他在工厂干供销。金柱受了舅舅的委托,闲时就到乡下督エ。他母亲与舅舅是叔伯姐弟,以前虽无往来,可这次一见面,他们的激动与热情并不亚于我家。
The person mentioned here, Jinzhu, is a few years younger than me. In his early years, he moved from the village to Anyang City, Henan Province with his mother. His mother ran a tobacco and liquor store while he worked in a factory handling supply and sales. During his free time, Jinzhu would go back to the countryside at my uncle's request. His mother and my uncle were cousins, although they had no previous contact. However, when we met this time, their excitement and warmth were no less than that of our family.
舅舅回乡,惊动了县对台办,县上人再三表示欢迎舅舅落户,乡里也说要为他分地盖房。舅舅不知是否动了心,没答应也没拒绝,只是搓着大手笑。毕竟,他少小离乡,时时惦念的就是这一方水土。
My uncle's return to the hometown attracted the attention of the county's Taiwan Affairs Office, and they repeatedly expressed their welcome for my uncle to settle there. The village also promised to allocate land for him to build a house. My uncle neither accepted nor rejected the offer; he simply rubbed his hands together and smiled. After all, he had left his hometown at a young age, and he always yearned for thia place.
1990年11月,天气冷了。舅舅筹划的送姥爷姥姥返乡的大事启动了。我向单位请了假,捧着姥姥的骨灰坛,随舅舅、妈妈回老家。
In November 1990, the weather turned cold. The grand event planned by my uncle to bring back our grandparents' ashes to the hometown began. I took leave from work and accompanied my uncle and mother to our ancestral home, holding my grandmother's porcelain urn.
如同舅舅1988年在广州车站购票那样,卧铺票极难买,我在北京站排了半宿队オ拿到了去往安阳的硬卧票,心疼得舅舅ー个劲地说:“回北京的票得让金柱帮忙买!”
Similar to my uncle buying train tickets at the Guangzhou station in 1988, it was extremely difficult to get sleeper tickets. I waited in line at the Beijing station for half the night and managed to secure hard sleeper tickets to Anyang. My uncle felt sorry for me and said, "We'll have Jinzhu help us buy the tickets for our return to Beijing!"
我们到达安阳车站时,天刚刚放亮,金柱迎上来。那是我第一次见到柱子,他个子不高,胖墩墩的,ー只眼睛有些红,满脸挂着淳朴的笑。我与妈妈被安排坐进吉普车,金柱却拦下了舅舅。我就听见车外金柱与舅舅的对话。
When we arrived at Anyang railway station, it was just getting light outside. Jinzhu came to greet us. It was my first time meeting him. He was not tall, a bit chubby, with a slightly red eye, and a simple smile on his face. My mother and I were arranged to sit in a jeep while Jinzhu stopped my uncle. I overheard their conversation from inside the car.
金柱:“舅,我娘昨天回村,把烟酒带了去,让您别再买了。”
（我想,姨真厚道,办丧事要用不少烟酒呢。）
Jinzhu: "Uncle, my mother returned to the village yesterday and took the tobacco and liquor with her. She told you not to buy them anymore."
(I thought to myself, Auntie is really generous. Funeral arrangements require a lot of tobacco and liquor, after all.)
舅舅:“柱子,我送给你母亲的日本彩电收到没有?”
Uncle: "JinZhu, did you receive the Japanese color TV that I sent to your mother?"
金柱:“收到了收到了,您给的24K足金戒指,我给了妈,还有给XX、XX、X XX的,谢谢啊。”
Jinzhu: "Yes, we received it. Thank you for the 24K pure gold ring you bought. I gave one to my mom, one to XX, XX, and XX. Thank you."
舅舅:“怎么不知道回封信呢,让我记挂。”
Uncle: "Since you've received .Why didn't you send a letter in return? I've been worried."
金柱:“……”
Jinzhu: "..."
舅舅:“金柱,我问你,我上次寄给你的20件台湾产新衣服,让你分给XX、X X、XXX,你怎么都换成了旧衣服,让人家骂我?……”
Uncle: "Jinzhu, let me ask you this. Last time, I sent you 20 brand-new clothes made in Taiwan and asked you to distribute to XX, XX, and XXX. How come you exchanged them all for old clothes which made people scold me?..."
我有些吃惊,赶紧看妈妈,正好迎上她的目光。妈妈显然也不知道这件事,对我摇摇头,我明白她要我别管。
I was somewhat surprised and quickly looked at my mother, who happened to meet my gaze. Obviously, she was also unaware of this matter and shook her head, indicating that I shouldn't get involved.
舅舅与金柱上了车,空气很沉闷。金柱没话找话:“舅,你们回北京从郑州搭火车吧?”
My uncle and Jinzhu got on the car, and the atmosphere became oppressive Jinzhu tried to find something to say: "Uncle, are you returning to Beijing by train from Zhengzhou?"
舅舅没吭声,好像还在生气。我问:“车票好买不?”金柱瞟了一眼舅,ロ气大起来:“俺亲妹子在郑州铁路上工作,铁路局就跟咱家开的ー样。”我赶紧敲定:“柱子,三张郑州到北京的火车卧铺票,交给你办行不?”金柱眨着那只很红的眼睛ー口应承:“没问题。”我用手推舅舅:“金柱帮咱买火车票呢〇”舅舅的脸开朗起来了。
My uncle remained silent, seemingly still angry. I asked, "Are train tickets easy to buy?" Jinzhu glanced at my uncle, saying, "My younger sister works at the railway in Zhengzhou, and the railway bureau treats us just like family." I quickly made a decision, "Jinzhu, can you help buy three sleeper tickets from Zhengzhou to Beijing?" Jinzhu blinked his reddened eyes and readily agreed, saying, "No problem." I nudged my uncle with my hand and said, "Jinzhu will help us buy the train tickets, okay?" My uncle's face brightened up.
吉普车向我们祖辈生活过的村庄疾驶,我的心装满了神圣,我要将姥姥送还给她所思念的这片土地,要在这个地方陪舅舅生活几天,一同圆他的故乡梦。
The jeep sped towards the village where our ancestors lived. My heart was filled with a sense of reverence. I wanted to return my grandmother to the land she longed for, and I intended to stay with my uncle in this place for a few days, fulfilling his dream of returning to his hometown.
ー辆手摇纺车在我眼前晃动,是姥姥在讲述她的青春,是姥姥在讲述老辈人的故事。就从这辆纺车里,摇出了绵长的线,线儿像这个中原村庄的历史一样长,像这里人们的情义ー样长。现在,我陪姥姥回村了,这个令姥姥和舅舅梦魂牵绕的村庄一定很美丽吧?
A spinning wheel appeared before my eyes, and it seemed to tell the story of my grandmother's youth and the tales of the older generation. This is spinning wheel spun a thread as long as the history of this central plains village, as long as the bonds among the people here. Now, I accompanied my grandmother back to the village. This village that haunted my grandmother and uncle for years must be incredibly beautiful, right?
ー个小时,两个小时,那坑坑洼洼的土路颠簸得我骨头生疼。我紧紧抱住姥姥的骨灰坛,不敢说话。
An hour, two hours, the bumpy dirt road shook my bones and made them ache. I tightly held onto my grandmother's ashes and dared not speak.
太阳升得老高了。终于,咔的一声,吉普车很响地拉上手刹,停稳了。
The sun was high in the sky. Finally, with a loud "click," the jeep pulled up the handbrake and came to a stop.
我睁开眼睛,跳下车,顿觉茫然。这个仿佛滞留在苍茫旷远历史中的小村庄, 就是姥姥和舅舅铭心刻骨思念的家乡?盘桓于中原大地几千年的那文明种族的活力,在哪儿呢?留在这里厮守着村庄的后人们,你们明亮的瓦房呢?你们可心的新衣呢?你们如同集市一样繁华的小街呢?我去过改革春风掠过的江南土地,那里, 每踏上一步,都像是踩着一首亮丽的田园诗。
I opened my eyes, jumped out of the car, and felt a sense of confusion. Is this small village, seemingly trapped in a vast and distant history, the hometown that my grandmother and uncle missed so much? Where is the vitality of that civilized race that has thrived in the Central Plains for thousands of years? Where are the bright tiled houses of the descendants who guard this village? Where are their beloved new clothes? Where is the bustling little street, vibrant like a marketplace? I have been to the Jiangnan land having going through reforms, where every step feels like walking on a beautiful pastoral poem.
这里是初冬。我拉好毛围巾,树叶黄了,飘零的树叶落在我肩上。一条枯瘦的狗夹着尾巴,从吉普车旁倏地跑过。紧跟着,我看见了在路上找食的羊、猪、鸡、鸭, 尽管它们看来瘦弱无カ,可却像自己的主人ー样享受着无人干预的自由。
It was early winter here. I wrapped my woolen scarf tightly around my neck. The leaves had turned yellow, and falling leaves landed on my shoulders. A skinny dog passed by with its tail tucked between its legs. Following closely behind, I saw sheep, pigs, chickens, and ducks searching for food on the road. Although they appeared thin and frail, they seemed to be enjoying the freedom of being their own masters.
舅舅俨然成了人物,认识与不认识的村民们都围上来,数说着他的孝道。舅舅在头里走,步履稳健,后面簇拥着一群大人和孩子。我猜想他当年带兵打仗就是这样在队伍的前面走。
My uncle became a prominent figure. Villagers, whether familiar or unfamiliar, gathered around him, praising his filial piety. Walking at the front, my uncle showed a steady stride, followed by a crowd of adults and children. I imagined that this must have been how he led troops and marched at the front.
舅舅被引到ー间土屋里,我和妈妈坐在当院。很快,我发现事情不对劲了。用土坯垒起的小院满是人,大家争着朝舅舅的小屋挤,出来的人面带笑容,没进去的人着急万分。
My uncle was led into a mud house, and my mother and I sat in the courtyard. Soon, I realized something went wrong. The small courtyard made of adobe was filled with people, all scrambling to squeeze into my uncle's little house. Those who came out wore smiles on their faces, while those who couldn't get in were anxious.
My grandfather from the clan accompanied my mother into the house, and with a solemn expression, he called my uncle to the funeral hall. My uncle hurriedly put away the gifts, but the crowd did not disperse.
我也挤进去,ー看,便退了出来。原来舅舅在兴致勃勃地分发礼物,他见男的发电子手表,见女的给纯金戒指。喜出望外的男人女人们张着两手,不出声地在空中争夺物件。
I squeezed my way inside but quickly backed out. It turned out my uncle was enthusiastically distributing gifts. He gave electronic watches to men and pure gold rings to women. The delighted men and women extended their hands, silently competing for the items in the air.
族里爷爷陪着妈妈进屋了,表情严肃地唤舅舅一道去灵棚。舅舅赶忙收起礼物,可人群并不离散。
An old man from the clan accompanied my mother into the house, and called my uncle to the funeral hall with a solemn expression. My uncle hurriedly put away the gifts, but the crowd did not disperse
村里空地上搭起了庄重肃穆的灵棚,姥爷、姥姥的遗像悬挂正中,供桌上摆放着水果点心饭菜,还有香炉蜡抨以及ー些供器;灵台左右两侧悬挂着白布帘,是守灵的位置;灵台下,两ロ黑漆棺材很厚重醒目。族里爷爷介绍说,棺木如何如何好, 油漆了多少多少遍,舅舅点着头。
A solemn and dignified mourning hall was set up on the open space in the village. The portraits of my grandfather and grandmother hung in the center, while the altar table displayed fruits, snacks, meals, as well as incense burners and various offerings. White curtains were hung on the left and right sides of the memorial tablet, signifying the location of the vigil. Below the memorial tablet, two black lacquered coffins stood prominently, heavy and eye-catching. The elder in the clan introduced how excellent the coffins were, mentioning the number of times they had been painted, and my uncle nodded in agreement.
姥姥的棺木里放了骨灰坛,姥爷的棺木里放了我从北京买来的一套西服,还摆放了舅舅带来的一些物品,以及老礼道规定的东西。
Inside my grandmother's coffin was the urn containing her ashes, and inside my grandfather's coffin was a set of suits I bought from Beijing, along with some items brought by my uncle and the customary items according to the old ritual.
因贫穷而寂寞的小村喧腾起来,杀猪的、炒菜的、蒸馍的、摆席的,穿梭不停,周围十里八村的乡亲听说有个台湾孝子回乡办丧事,也纷纷赶来看热闹。这个村庄的人气就像滚开了锅的沸水。
The once impoverished and lonely village became bustling. People were busy with slaughtering pigs, stir-frying dishes, steaming buns, and setting up tables. People from the surrounding villages and beyond heard that a filial son from Taiwan had returned to his hometown to hold the funeral for his parents, and they all came to watch the funeral avidly. The atmosphere in the village was as lively as boiling water in a pot.
我们全都穿上了粗白布孝服,立在灵棚下,迎送着ー批批吊唁的远亲与宾客。所有前来吊唁的人都会对舅舅说上一句:“爹娘没白疼你ー场啊!”
We all dressed in coarse white mourning clothes, standing under the mourning hall, welcoming distant relatives and guests who came to pay their respects. Everyone who came to offer condolences would say to my uncle, "Your parents didn't raise you in vain!"
我想,对舅舅来说,这是最中听最受用的夸奖。这句话这场面,他一定等待多年了。
I believe that for my uncle, this was the most comforting and the nicest praise he has ever heard. He had been waiting for this moment and these words for many years.
那天夜里,我与舅舅为姥爷、姥姥守灵。
That night, my uncle and I at the wake for my grandparents' spirits.
长明灯亮着。
The eternal flame was burning.
舅舅突然对我说:“小冬,办完丧事,我死也闭眼了。”
Suddenly, my uncle said to me, "Xiaodong, when the funeral is over, I can finally close my eyes."
我不许他瞎说。
I didn't allow him to say such things.
舅舅的表情极为平静,他说:“先前我就剩这一件事没办,现在办了,心就安了。”
My uncle's expression was extremely calm as he said, "This was the one thing I had left to do. Now that it's done, my heart is at peace."
我知道,舅舅的心脏先天狭窄,在台北万大路发病那次,荣民总医院为他做了冠状动脉造影,造影显示:三根主动脉,ー根堵塞,ー根正常,ー根发育不良。医生连续疏通那根堵塞的动脉血管,竟然失败了,最后,没有安放支架,也没有“搭桥” 〇医生拉着舅舅的手,郑重地说:“您是依靠ー根正常动脉支撑的人,要比任何人都在意自己。”
I know that my uncle has congenital heart stenosis. During the incident on Wanda Road in Taipei, the Taipei Veterans General Hospital performed a coronary angiography for him. The angiography showed that out of the three main arteries, one was blocked, one was normal, and one was underdeveloped. The doctors attempted to clear the blocked artery but failed. In the end, no stent and bypass was placed. The doctor held my uncle's hand and solemnly said, "You are someone who relies only on one normal artery for support. You have to take better care of yourself than anyone else."
我安慰舅舅,说科学正在进步,说只要小心不会出问题,说好日子刚开头要有信心,说他的生命属于全家,说我姥姥、姥爷的在天之灵会保佑他。
I comforted my uncle that science is advancing, that as long as he is careful, nothing will go wrong, that the good days are just beginning and he should have confidence, that his life belongs to the whole family, and that my grandparents' spirits in heaven would protect him.
舅舅不作声。他这个人就是这样,你很难说服他什么。有时我觉得自己难以企及他独自遨游了太久的境界。我感觉到,坐在灵棚里的他,仿佛是在面对他自己的遗骸,从容地盘点着如何发落自己。我突然想,他是不是想在这片土地上落户, 百年后也葬在爹娘身边?
My uncle remained silent. That's just how he is; it's hard to convince him of anything. Sometimes I feel that I can hardly reach the level he has attained through his solitary wanderings. I sensed that as he sat in the mourning hall, it was as if he was facing his own remains, calmly assessing his fate. I suddenly wondered if he wanted to settle in this land and be buried next to my grandparents a hundred years later.
第二天上午9时,是出殡的时辰,即“辰时发引”。摔盆、烧纸、起杠,鼓乐齐鸣, 花圈挽联纸人纸马一片。舅舅打幡,我搀扶着妈妈,出殡队伍浩浩荡荡不见队尾。
The next morning at 9 o'clock was the time for the funeral procession, known as the "Chen Shi Fa Yin." The sound of smashing bowls, burning bank notes of the dead, and beating gongs and drums filled the air. Floral wreaths, couplets, paper figures, and paper horses were everywhere. My uncle carried the funeral banner, and I supported my mother as we joined the procession. The funeral procession was immense, and there seemed to be no end to it.
至今我也不明白,哪些是孝属哪些是亲友哪些是观者,大概金柱爷爷那ー支的后人很多吧。只记得通往墓地的路有3里地长,70岁的母亲本已坚持不住,而到达墓地前的几十米,整个队伍的行进改成了疾跑,这一点杠夫本有交代,但母亲还是几乎瘫倒在我身上。
To this day, I still don't understand who among them were relatives, friends, or spectators. Perhaps many were descendants of Grandfather Jinzhu. I only remembered that the road to the cemetery was three miles long, and my 70-year-old mother was already struggling. But in the final tens of meters before reaching the grave, the entire procession began to run, as if it had been arranged by the pallbearers. However, my mother almost collapsed in my arms.
之后,杠夫将棺木摘肩落地,大绳将灵棺缓缓系入墓内,我清清楚楚地看到,姥爷这ロ墓里,除了姥姥外,还留了二姥姥的位置。
Afterward, the pallbearers lifted the coffins from their shoulders and gently lowered them into the grave with the help of a large rope. I clearly saw that in my grandfather's grave, in addition to my grandmother, there was also a place reserved for my second grandmother.
我姥爷弟弟的那口墓里,也系下了由舅舅定做的黑漆木棺。
In my grandfather's younger brother's grave, there was also the tailored black lacquered wooden coffin bought by my uncle.
那天,酒席摆了一路,十里八村相识不相识的人不用招呼,坐下就吃就喝,女人、小孩儿的嘴里口袋里都塞得鼓鼓囊囊的。
That day, a large feast was prepared, and people from the surrounding villages, whether familiar or unfamiliar, sat down to eat and drink without being invited. Women and children's mouths and pockets were filled to the brim.
晚上,舅舅订了电影放映。人们如同过年一样,在屏幕正反面摆放了多排条凳,女人边嗑瓜子边聊天,男人边抽香烟边看电影,个个悠闲。小孩则在屏幕下钻来钻去。
In the evening, my uncle arranged for a movie screening. People set up multiple rows of benches on both sides of the screen, just like during the New Year's celebration. Women chatted while eating snacks; men smoked and watched the movie, all leisurely. Children played around under the screen.
我们回了屋,就听见金柱妈正对舅舅说笑。金柱妈从年轻时进安阳市就很少回村,这次为办丧事,特意关闭她的烟酒小店回来了。她黑黑瘦瘦的,ー开ロ就笑, 看着挺厚道。她说话速度很快:“洪洲啊,别忘了给我烟酒钱,烟是XX条,酒是X X箱,糖是XX斤,ー共是XXX元人民币。”
When we returned to the house, we heard Jinzhu's mother laughing and joking with my uncle. Jinzhu's mother rarely came back to the village since she moved to Anyang City when she was young. She specifically closed her tobacco and liquor store and came back for the funeral. She was thin and dark, but she smiled a lot and seemed kind-hearted. She spoke quickly, saying, "Hongzhou, don't forget to give me money for cigarettes and alcohol. XX packs of cigarettes, XX crates of liquor, XX kilograms of sugar. So that will be XXX yuan altogether."
这话可不厚道,我方明白自己原先估计的金柱妈自愿奉献烟酒钱是没影的事。话说回来,这次发送的死者不是有金柱妈的公公吗?从情从理说,她怎能朝舅舅要钱呢?我是小辈人,不便说话,倒是旁边陪同的乡干部打抱不平了:“这位大姨,您的烟酒咋按高价算呢?比咱乡里商店的货贵多了!”
That was an dishonest. I could clearly see that my initial estimation of Jinzhu's mother voluntarily purchasing tobacco and alcohol was far from reality. Moreover, the funeral was also held for Jinzhu's mother's father-in-law? From a moral standpoint, how could she ask my uncle for money? As a younger generation, it wasn't appropriate for me to speak up, but a local official who accompanied us couldn't tolerate it and said, "Auntie, why are you calculating the cigarettes and alcohol at such high prices? They are much more expensive than the goods in our village stores!"
金柱妈收了笑,眼ー瞪,就要发火。
Jinzhu's mother stopped smiling and stared, ready to get angry.
舅舅赶紧给金柱妈搭了个台阶,高门大嗓地招呼:“姐,金柱,咱结账!”
My uncle quickly tried to defuse the situation and said loudly, "Sis, Jinzhu, let's settle the bill!"
我就见金柱揉着那只很红的眼睛,掏出已经准备好的本本,开始念账了。账老长,什么墓碑、刻字、棺木、油漆、轿夫、香烟、白酒、面粉、生猪、青菜、豆腐、粉条、供品、响器班、放电影,念了一页又一页,舅舅手里没有计算器,也不打算盘,只是听。
I saw Jinzhu rubbing his red eye and taking out a prepared notebook, starting to read the bill. The bill was long, mentioning everything from tombstones, engravings, coffins, paint, sedan bearers, cigarettes, liquor, flour, live pigs, vegetables, tofu, noodles, offerings, musical instruments, to movie screenings. She read page after page, and my uncle didn't have a calculator or abacus in his hands; he just listened.
金柱准备得很充分,高声大嗓地念着,直到舅舅摆手叫停,这账就算结完了。我知道,舅舅先前把一大笔美元交给了金柱,金柱现在就是报告这笔美元的去处吧。之后,舅舅分别递给金柱妈与金柱一些钱和首饰,大概这些礼物的数量未及他们的期望值,所以两人从屋里出来时,脸都拉得老长。
Jinzhu was well-prepared, reading with a loud voice, until my uncle waved his hand to stop her, indicating that the bill was settled. I knew that my uncle had given a large sum of dollars to Jinzhu earlier, and now he was reporting on what those dollars were spent on. Afterward, my uncle handed some money and jewelry to Jinzhu's mother and Jinzhu respectively. Perhaps the quantity of these gifts didn't meet their expectations, so when the two came out of the house, they were disappointed and annoyed.
后来我问过舅舅:“那账对不对?”舅舅笑了,他眯着眼反问我:“你说对不对? ” 他后来告诉我,预算里已经留出了贪污账,幸亏没超得太多。
Later, I asked my uncle, "Was the bill correct?" My uncle smiled and squinted his eyes as he asked me in return, "Do you think it was correct?" He later told me that he had already factored in embezzlement in the budget, luckily without exceeding too much.
舅舅居住的小屋又挤满了人,没有得到手表与戒指的伸手抢,竟然把手伸到了舅舅的口袋里,而得到东西的人也不走,磨着舅舅请戏班唱三天大戏。
My uncle's small house was crowded once again. People who didn't get a chance to get the watches and rings reached their hands into my uncle's pockets. And the ones who received the gift didn't leave; they insisted that my uncle hire a theater troupe to perform a three-day play.
我和妈妈在院里坐着,一任舅舅兴致盎然地散发他带来的最后财物。突然,舅舅拨开人群脱身出来了,他脸孔涨红,似乎有些恼。看身后没人跟上来,他从裤兜里摸出五个红绒小包递给我说:“就剩这五个戒指了,你替我保管。”我ー看,那全是有台湾良记银楼保单的足金戒指,就赶紧掖进口袋里。回到北京后,舅舅用去三枚,至今还有两枚我替他保管着。
My mother and I were sitting in the courtyard while my uncle enthusiastically distributed his remaining belongings. Suddenly, my uncle pushed through the crowd and came out. His face was red, and he seemed annoyed. Seeing no one followed him, he reached into his trouser pocket and took out five small red velvet pouches, handing them to me, saying, "These are the last five rings. Please keep them for me." I took a look, and they were all pure gold rings from Taiwan's Liangji Silver Shop, each with an insurance policy. I quickly tucked them into my pocket. After returning to Beijing, my uncle used three of them, and I am still keeping the other two for him.
第三天五更,我和舅舅都睡不着,就在村头溜达。
On the third day, before dawn, neither my uncle nor I could sleep, so we strolled at the village entrance.
舅舅对我说:“没有你姥姥、姥爷收留,我早死在逃荒路上了。”
My uncle said to me, "If it weren't for your grandparents taking me in, I would have died on the famine-stricken road."
我心说,我们ー家老老少少几年来小心谨慎呵护的这个秘密,敢情您早就知道了,
I thought to myself that this secret that our entire family has been carefully guarding for years, it seems like you already knew about it long ago.
于是追问一句:“您咋知道自己身世的?”
So I asked him, "How did you find out about your background?"
舅舅说:“我还是小孩子的时候,就有村里人告诉我了。所以,我一直感谢爹娘花1〇担粮食赎我之恩。”
My uncle said, "When I was still a child, someone in the village told me. That's why I've always been grateful to my parents for spending 500KG grain in redeeming me."
现在,我觉得什么都能对舅舅说了,就把想了好几天的另ー个问题和盘托出: “舅啊,我不知道您的亲爹娘是朝哪个方向逃荒走的,您要是愿意,我陪您朝那个方向磕头,也算谢他们生您ー场。”
Now, I feel like I can tell my uncle everything, so I finally brought up another question that had been on my mind for several days, "Uncle, I don't know which direction your biological parents took when they fled the famine. If you're willing, I'll accompany you and kowtow in that direction as a way of expressing gratitude for their giving birth to you."
这毕竟是舅舅与亲生爹娘相守相离的土地,他们的血脉,他们的亲情,是生死不变的永恒事实。我想,这里不正是舅舅与亲爹娘对话的最好时机与场景吗?
After all, this was the land where my uncle was separated with his biological parents. Their bloodline, their bond, was an unchanging and eternal fact of life. I thought this would be the best opportunity and setting for my uncle to have a conversation with his biological parents.
完全没想到,舅舅ー摆大手,口气不容置疑:“我在海边想的是你姥姥、姥爷,从来没想过他们。生我不养我的人……”
Unexpectedly, my uncle waved his hand dismissively, with an unquestionable tone, and said, "When I was on the seaside, all I think about is only your grandparents instead of the people who gave birth to me but didn't raise me...I’ve never thought about them."
他没有说完。
He didn't finish his sentence.
冬天的晨曦露头晚,我看不清楚舅舅的表情,可感觉到了他的失望。他的失望,似乎不是来自将他遗弃的亲生爹娘,而是来自多年期盼的实现。在年复一年的期盼中,他将脚底下这块生他养他的土地描画得特别美好。其实,当他第一次从北京返台听见其他老兵议论时,就应当有这份心理准备的。
On a winter morning, the dawn was late to appear, and I couldn't see my uncle's expression clearly, but I could sense his disappointment. His disappointment didn't seem to come from his biological parents who abandoned him, but from the realization of his long-awaited dreams. In years of anticipation, he painted this land beneath his feet as something exceptionally beautiful. In fact, when he first returned to Taiwan from Beijing and heard the discussions among other veterans, he should have been mentally prepared for this.
他分明叹了一口气。也许是感到了灵与肉的分离。他的身子是着着实实落在故土上了,可他这个人却成了故人眼里的台湾客人。他在心里积蓄几十年的炽热情感,本来是要倾カ抛洒在故乡沃壤中的,可现在他突然明白自己与这片土地,与自己想了几十年的这个村落,一丁点关系都没有了。乡干部昨天还在等待他关于分地盖房的答复,他该怎样回答呢?
He let out a sigh. Perhaps he felt the separation of spirit and flesh. He was stepping on his homeland physically, but he himself had become a visitor in the eyes of the locals. The intense emotions he had accumulated in his heart for decades were meant to be poured out on the fertile land of his hometown, but now he suddenly realized that he had no connection with this land and the village he had longed for over the years. The village officials were still waiting for his response regarding land distribution and house construction. How should he answer?
舅舅和我坐在田壇上,各想各的。许久,他用大手捏碎了一块土坷垃,下了决心:“一回家!”
My uncle and I sat on a field terrace, lost in our own thoughts. After a while, he crushed a clump of soil in his large hand and made up his mind: "Let's go back home."
我明白这两个字的含义。就从此刻起,他放弃了脚下这块抚养他长大的土地, 割舍了这个曾经带给他无尽欢乐,令他疯狂思念过的家乡。现在,他只有北京的姐姐家了。
I understood the significance of these two words. From this moment on, he gave up the land that had raised him, severed ties with the homeland that had once brought him endless joy and intense longing. Now, he only had his sister's home in Beijing.
吃早饭时,一位爷爷建议,村里人会堵着我们要钱,不如赶明儿个清早上路
During breakfast, an elderly man suggested that the villagers might confront us and demand money, so it would be better to leave early the next morning.
说来有点黑色幽默的味道。第四天早晨,我们在村领导的指挥下,爬上拖拉机,就像做了亏心事的人ー样,匆匆逃离了那个曾经被舅舅日想夜思,现在又埋葬着亲人的故乡。
It had a touch of dark humor. On the fourth morning, under the command of the village leaders, we climbed onto a tractor and hastily fled from the homeland that had once haunted my uncle and now buried his loved ones.

拖拉机轰轰地驶在起伏不平的黄土路上。抬眼望去,收了秋的大地一片平坦。我突然想起“平均”这个概念。大自然不讲平均,物竞天择,动物纷争。现如今的社会也不讲平均,改革催生的竞争意识已经铺遍大江南北。想过好日子的父老乡亲们啊,应该上哪里竞争,上哪里去淘换自己那一份幸福呢?为什么一定要厮守着姥姥们留下的老纺车老田地老房子呢?
The tractor roared along the bumpy yellow dirt road. Looking up, the land that had been harvested appeared flat. I suddenly thought of the concept of "average." Nature doesn't adhere to the principle of average; it's survival of the fittest, with animals competing against each other. Nowadays, society also doesn't adhere to averages; the spirit of competition spurred by reforms has spread across the country. For the fellow villagers who aspire to a better life, where should they compete? Where should they go to seek their own happiness? Why must they cling to the old spinning wheel, old fields, and old houses left behind by their grandparents?
小路上蹿来ー辆自行车。听姥姥说,我妈是全县第一位学会骑自行车的女学生。那时,不仅全县闺女艳羡的目光追踪着妈妈,就连绑匪也寻思开了活计。幸而我妈离家抗日去了
Suddenly, a bicycle came zooming by. Grandma told me that my mom was the first female student in the entire county to learn how to ride a bicycle. At that time, not only were the girls in the entire county envious of my mother's skill. She even attracted the attention of the kidnappers. Fortunately, my mother left home to join the War of Resistance Against Japan.

骑自行车的是一位不相识的女子,她大概有30多岁,将头包裹在方布巾里,只露出了眼睛。她边挥舞手臂,边朝我们叫喊。我寻思该不是要钱的吧?
The woman riding the bicycle was a stranger to us. She appeared to be in her thirties, with her head wrapped in a square cloth, only her eyes visible. She waved her arms and shouted towards us. I wondered if she was asking for money.
拖拉机慢下来,那女子就紧蹬车轮,跟着拖拉机并头骑。拖拉机轰轰地叫着,女子就盖过拖拉机的声音,大声朝我们喊话,她说自己是谁家的媳妇正在打离婚要上城打工朝舅舅借些盘缠钱……
The tractor slowed down, and the woman pedaled closer, riding alongside the tractor. Despite the roaring noise of the tractor, her voice overpowered it as she shouted loudly towards us. She claimed to be someone's wife and said she was seeking a divorce to go to the city for work. She asked for some money as a loan from my uncle..
舅舅没有吱声,他是个要面子的人,我知道,他带来的钱已经花净,要不,后来在郑州买火车票、吃饭,他不会任我掏钱。
Uncle remained silent. He was a proud man, and I knew that the money he brought had already been spent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let me pay for the train ticket and meals later in Zhengzhou.
金柱食言了,没有帮我们买火车卧铺票,他和他的母亲,就像那些吃完酒席的人ー样不辞而别。
Jinzhu broke his promise. He didn't help us buy sleeper tickets for the train. He and his mother left without saying goodbye, just like those attending the feast.
我趴在郑州火车站窗口,对ー脸冷漠的女售票员说:“这是我们的证明,购买到北京的卧铺,软卧硬卧都行。”
I leaned against the ticket window at Zhengzhou Railway Station and said to the indifferent female ticket seller, "This is our ID cards. I want to buy 3 sleeper tickets to Beijing, either soft or hard sleeper."
叭一三张硬座票飞出来,这就是说,老人们只能坐硬座到北京。
Suddenly, three hard seat tickets were handed out, which meant that mom and uncle could only sit in hard seats all the way to Beijing.
我赶紧把脸贴近窗ロ,请求道:“两张,行不行?给老人!”
I quickly leaned closer to the window and pleaded, "Can you help us buy just two sleeper tickets. We got 2 old people here!"
女售票员梗着脖子不看我,用河南话喊:“下ー个!”
The female ticket seller just ignored me and shouted in the local Henan dialect, "Next!"
我们没有地方可去,离开车还有七八个钟点的时候,就站在郑州车站前圈起的广场候车区里,排在队首,以为能够按序上车。哪知道,后来广播里刚一宣布准许上车,队列就乱了,没有人维持秩序,没有人排队,我们立即被后面不排队的强大人流推擦着,一下就冲散了。
We had nowhere else to go. When there were still seven or eight hours before the train departure, we stood in the waiting area at the square in front of Zhengzhou Station, lining up at the front, thinking that we could board the train in order. Little did we know, as soon as the announcement allowing boarding was made on the loudspeaker, the queue became chaotic. There was no one maintaining order, no one forming a line. Immediately, we were jostled and pushed by the big crowd behind us who didn't bother to queue properly, and we were quickly dispersed.

我从来没有见过那种阵势,人们挥舞着拳头,生生打开前面的人,自己往前冲。我死死护着妈妈往前跑,只怕妈妈跌倒。及至上了火车,才发现舅舅没有跟上来, 就返身去找舅舅,走了好远,才见舅舅坐在通道上已经动弹不得,蜂拥而上的人群似乎没有看见地上的人,呼啸着穿过他。
I had never seen such a situation before. People were waving their fists, forcefully pushing their way through the crowd, even pushing others aside. I held onto my mother tightly and ran forward, fearing that she might fall. When we finally got on the train, I realized that my uncle hadn't made it aboard. I turned back to look for him and walked a long way before finding him sitting on the aisle, unable to move as the surging crowd seemed oblivious to the person on the ground, rushing past him.
我赶紧搀起舅舅,那一刻,我发现他的脚已经难以吃劲。后来,他靠着我的臂膀好不容易上了火车。列车启动后,我反复与列车长交涉,才换上了一席软卧。就那样,妈妈与舅舅合坐在ー张软卧铺上。
I quickly helped my uncle up, and in that moment, I noticed that his legs were already weak. Later, with great difficulty, he managed to board the train leaning on my arm. After the train started moving, I repeatedly negotiated with the train conductor until we were able to exchange for a soft sleeper berth. That way, my mother and uncle sat together on one soft sleeper bed.
故乡的风,在火车两侧呼啦啦地吹。小村庄低落下去,最后和遥远的地平线ー般高了。舅舅闭着眼睛,不肯扭过头回望他的故乡。自此,他与它不再彼此相属。
舅舅到底坐上了京广线的火车,那个在台湾拟制的,给他带来过无限希望和遐想的返回故乡的梦,现在是结束了。
The wind of my hometown blew vigorously on both sides of the train. The small village gradually receded just as low as the distant horizon. My uncle kept his eyes closed, refusing to turn his head and look back at his homeland. From then on, they no longer belonged to each other.
My uncle finally boarded the train on the Beijing-Guangzhou line, the dream of returning to his hometown that had brought him infinite hope and imagination, now coming to an end.
我想,在他心里,故乡一定幻化成了碎影,星星点点隐进他深沉的记忆中。
I believe that in his heart, his homeland must have transformed into fragmented shadows, scattered and hidden deep within his memories.
实实在在的是伤痛。北京医院的X光片显示,舅舅的脚踝骨折,必须打石膏。
The pain was real. The X-ray at a Beijing hospital revealed that my uncle had a fractured ankle and needed to have a cast applied.
第四章家在哪儿
Chapter 4: Where is Home
办理收养公证
Applying for Adoption Notarization
1993年5月,舅舅第五次到北京。
In May 1993, my uncle went to Beijing for the fifth time.
温馨的家庭阳光,是怎样辐射进舅舅心房的?一什么事?什么时候?通过哪ー扇门窗?
How does the warm family sunshine radiate into Uncle's heart? Through what event? When? And through which door or window?
哦,是我们合家商议,要给舅舅安排ー个未来的家。
Oh, it’s when my entire family decided to arrange a future home for my uncle.
舅舅的态度很坚决:我不娶太太,把小冬过继给我,我有了这个女儿养老送终, 再无所求。
My uncle's stance was firm. He won't get married. He only wanted to adopt me. He said with me supporting him as his daughter in his old age, and he would had a full life.
那时,舅舅的身体已经很不好,连续心绞痛,多次住院了。老来无依的担忧袭击着他,他需要一个能够养老的家。
At that time, my uncle's health was already poor. He suffered from frequent angina and had been hospitalized several times. The worry of being alone in old age haunted him, and he needed a home where he could spend his twilight years.
对舅舅的请求,爸妈慨然允诺,看来他们已经商量好久了,我与丈夫泰来虽然刚刚知道,但也没意见。
My parents readily agreed to my uncle's request. It seemed that they had already discussed it for a long time. Although my husband Tailai and I had just found out about it, we also had no objections.
不管把家安在哪儿,我们都得去公证处办理过继公证。
No matter where my uncle decide to settle down, we have to go to the notary office to apply for the adoption notarization.
北京市公证处的民事组长是个胖胖的女同志,她纠正我说:“是办理收养公证。”同时告诉我们程序:先办大陆公证,之后由台湾海峡交流基金会核准大陆公证书后,再到台湾方面办理收养公证。
The head of the Civil Affairs Division at the Beijing Notary Public Office is a chubby female comrade. She corrected me and said, " What you should apply for is the adoption notarial certificate." She also informed us about the procedure: first, we need to apply for the notarization in the mainland of China, and then, after the mainland notarization is approved by the Straits Exchange Foundation, we can proceed with the adoption notarization on the Taiwan, China .
于是,我们按照要求,分别东奔西走,准备了一大摞证明材料:台湾的、大陆的, 舅舅的、爸妈的、我的、丈夫的,工作单位的、派出所的……然后,我们又偕三位老人ー起到公证处办理手续。还好,事情算是顺利,过了一段时间,我们就领取了京证
台字〔1993〕第492号收养公证。公证书这样记录着:
So, as requested, we rush round, preparing a pile of relevant testimonial materials from Chinese Taiwan, the mainland of China, our workplaces and the local police station... and materials of uncle, my parents, me, and my husband. Then, with the accompany of three elderly people in my family, we went together to the notary office to complete the procedures. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and after some time, we received the Adoption Notarization Certificate in the mainland of China which reads:
兹证明洪洲与XX、XXX （作者注:XX、X XX是我父母亲的名字,下同）商定,并征得被收养人郭冬的同意,洪洲于1993年8月23日收养XX,X XX之女郭冬为养女，洪洲为郭冬的养父。
北京市公证处公证员XX
1993年9月7日
This certifies that Hongzhou, XX, and XXX (Note: XX and XXX are the names of my parents, the same applies below) have agreed, and with the consent of the adoptee Guo Dong, Hongzhou adopted Guo Dong as his daughter on August 23, 1993. Hongzhou is hereby recognized as Guo Dong's adoptive father.

Notary Officer XX
Beijing Notary Public Office
September 7, 1993
公证书是法定机关对于民事上权利义务关系所做的证明,舅舅自然懂。领到公证书时,舅舅已经回到台北,我就在电话里给他一字一字地念,他显然十分重视。我的话音刚一落,他就落实道:“这就是说,自1993年9月7日起,北京市公证处确认了我和你的养父养女关系!”
The adoption notarial certificate is an official certification by a statutory authority regarding the rights and obligations in civil matters, and my uncle understood its significance. When he received the notarial certificate, he was already back in Taipei, so I read it out to him word by word over the phone, and he clearly valued it. As soon as I finished speaking, he confirmed, "So this means that as of September 7, 1993, Beijing Notary Public Office has confirmed our father-daughter relationship!"
我说:“是啊是啊,舅呀,我是不是得改称呼啦?”
I said, "Oh, Uncle, should I change how I address you?"
舅舅在电话那头哈哈大笑,他说:“等台湾公证员协会的文件下来,咱就改口! 我要告诉所有战友,我有个教授女儿!”
Uncle laughed heartily on the other end of the phone and said, "Once the documents from the Taiwan Notary Public Association come, we'll make the switch! I'll tell all my comrades that I have a professor daughter!"
我赶紧声明:“舅,是副教授!”
I quickly clarified, "Uncle, I’m just an associate professor!"
舅舅说:“那你明天当正的,我后天再告诉他们!”
Uncle replied, "Then you'll become a full professor tomorrow, and I'll let them know the day after!"
我说:“行!”
I said, "Okay!"
我们就笑。说实话,我很感动,也很感谢,舅舅为人低调内敛,他在不经意间冒出的话,说明他因我而骄傲,这是我们交往中出现的绝无仅有的一次话题,以后再也没有过。
We laughed. Honestly, I was deeply moved and grateful. Uncle was usually reserved and understated, but his casual words showed that he was proud of me. It was a unique topic that arose in our relationship, and it never happened again.
那是个秋天,可春风吹进了舅舅的心田,他的希望发芽长叶了。后面的事情如我们所愿,台湾海峡交流基金会于1993年12月31日发来了公证书核对证明文本。
It was autumn, but a spring breeze blew into Uncle's heart, and his hopes began to sprout and grow leaves. As we had hoped, the Straits Exchange Foundation sent the notarized verification of the adoption on December 31, 1993.
舅舅收到台湾海峡交流基金会发来的公证书核对证明文本后,抛却了所有的不快。按照程序,他再到台北公证员协会办理完我们的收养公证,新生活就要开始了！
After receiving the notarized verification from the Taiwan Strait Exchange Foundation, Uncle let go of all the unpleasantness. Following the procedure, he went to the Taipei Notary Public Association to complete our adoption notarization, and a new life was about to begin!
这时,一件意想不到的事情发生了。
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.
前面提到,如果不是因为柳太太与舅舅发生了剧烈的争吵,他们的日子会一直在万大路过下去。从舅舅的薪水不再交给柳太太起,他们之间的相处就存了疙瘩。后来,舅舅不断回大陆,不断动用自己的储蓄,这就使柳太太十分气恼。
As mentioned earlier, if it weren't for the intense quarrel between Mrs. Liu and Uncle, their lives would have continued on Wan Da Road. Since Uncle stopped giving his salary to Mrs. Liu, there was a rift between them. Later, Uncle kept returning to the mainland and using his savings, which infuriated Mrs. Liu.
大概读者也猜到了,舅舅与柳太太的最大冲突,就在于舅舅发现了被柳太太扣押的北京来信。在舅舅看来,亲人所书写的每一封信,都是他生活的光亮,是他生存的寄托,更何况柳太太扣掉的是来自北京的最初两封信,那时舅舅正望眼欲穿地等待着亲人的消息。这是他们仅有的一次吵架,也是终结他们关系的争吵。这场无人能够调解也无可避免的战争爆发后,柳太太冲上楼,把舅舅的铺盖和箱子ー股脑扔到了楼梯口!
As readers may have guessed, the major conflict between Uncle and Mrs. Liu arose when Uncle discovered that Mrs. Liu had withheld the letters from Beijing. To Uncle, each letter written by his family was a source of light in his life, a solace in his existence. Moreover, Mrs. Liu had withheld the first two letters from Beijing, the very letters Uncle had been eagerly waiting for from his loved ones. This was their only fight, and it marked the end of their relationship. After this unavoidable and irreconcilable war erupted, Mrs. Liu rushed upstairs and threw Uncle's bedding and suitcase down the stairs!
舅舅陷在沙发里,往舌头下塞了一片硝酸甘油,之后拉开搁放存折的抽屉。如果此时他给我打个电话,事情还有逆转的可能。我会劝他冷静,还会给柳太太打电话,尽量平息他们的矛盾。
Uncle sank into the couch and put a tablet of nitroglycerin under his tongue. He then opened the drawer where he kept his bankbook. If he had called me at that moment, there might have been a chance to reverse the situation. I would have advised him to stay calm and would have called Mrs. Liu to try to alleviate their conflict.
可是没有,舅舅习惯了自我决断。他的存款已经不够在繁华的台北市买房,他当天就去往台北新庄市购买了一套两居室。他要用那所新房迎接我和泰来的到来。
But it didn't happen. Uncle was accustomed to making decisions on his own. His savings were no longer sufficient to buy a house in bustling Taipei, so he immediately went to Xin Zhuang in Taipei and purchased a two-bedroom apartment. He intended to welcome me and Tai Lai in that new home.
离开万大路时,舅舅将当年花重资建盖的二层小楼与冰箱、彩电、录影机、空调、衣柜等所有值钱物件都留在了柳家。他弯下腰,拥抱着已经坐在轮椅上的战友老柳。
When leaving Wan Da Road, Uncle left behind the two-story building he had built at great expense, as well as the refrigerator, color TV, VCR, air conditioner, wardrobe, and all other valuable items in the Liu family's possession. He bent down and embraced his fellow soldier, Liu, who was already confined to a wheelchair.
他们互相都感受到了对方的衰老,都预感到是最后的告别,便手拉手,强忍眼泪,互道珍重。柳太太一定后悔了,她跟着不望她一眼的舅舅,追到院门ロ,伤感地说:“洪洲,有空来坐坐。”
They both felt each other's aging and sensed that it would be their final farewell. Holding hands, suppressing their tears, they bid each other farewell. Mrs. Liu must have regretted it. She followed Uncle who did not even look at her to the courtyard gate, saying sorrowfully, "Hong Zhou, come visit when you have time."
舅舅的男子汉尊严昂起了头,他转过身,不看她,一字ー顿地说:“我日后如果讨饭……”
Uncle, with the dignity of a man, raised his head and turned away without looking at her, saying firmly, "If I ever have to beg in the future..."
柳太太赶紧说:“哪里、哪里会讨饭,你是吉人自有天相厂’
Mrs. Liu interrupted, "No, you will never have the chance to beg. You are a good people who will have good fortune."
舅舅只管说下去,仍旧一字ー顿:“我日后如果讨饭,走到你这ー家,要绕过,去下一家!”
Uncle continued, word by word, "If I ever have to beg in the future and happen to pass by your house, I will go around and visit the next one!"
他拖着行李箱,头也不回。
He dragged his suitcase and didn't look back.
坦率地说,我后来反省过这件事,也给柳太太打过电话。且不说舅舅当年将房子建在柳家屋顶上是对是错,只说他迁离万大路,离开柳家这件事,难说是上策,因为那套位于台北新庄市的新房,后来招惹了无人能够预料的灾祸。
To be frank, I later reflected on this matter and also called Mrs. Liu. Setting aside the question of whether it was right or wrong for Uncle to build the house on top of the Liu family's roof, leaving Wan Da Road and the Liu family was not necessarily the best decision, for it turned out that the house in Xin Zhuang City, Taipei, brought my uncle an unforeseen disaster later.
迁进新庄市新房最初的日子愉快无比。没有人管束,没有人伸手要钱,自己是自己的,自由自在。舅舅变得轻松起来,时常哼着豫剧唱段。他有了自己的电话, 老是打电话问我愿意当记者还是教书,说他主张泰来当自由撰稿人。
The initial days of moving into the new house in Xin Zhuang City were incredibly joyful. There was no one to control him and no one asking him for money. He was his own master, free and at ease. Uncle became more relaxed and often hummed tunes from Yu opera. He had his own telephone and would frequently call me to ask if I wanted to become a journalist or a teacher. He advocated for Tai Lai to become a freelance writer.
后来他又想起给自己找个活,说我们仁可以ー起经商,他喜欢前店后厂的房,他愿意坐堂卖货, 让我们当老板。总之,舅舅经常为自己一厢情愿的翻新花样,激动得睡不着觉。
Later, he thought about finding a job for himself and suggested that we start a business together. He liked the idea of having a shop in the front and a factory at the back, and he was willing to sit in the shop selling goods while we acted as the bosses. In short, Uncle often indulged in his own wishful thinking and got so excited that he couldn't sleep.
就在我们以为交上好运,好人得了好报时,舅舅在台北办理的公证活动撞上了
红灯
Just when we thought we had good luck and that got rewarded for our good deeds, something went wrong with Uncle's notarization process in Taipei.
我知道,舅舅这ー辈子最怕填表写字,最不愿意与老兵之外的人打交道。可这两件事,他都赶上了。
I knew that Uncle dreaded filling out forms and writing, and he was reluctant to interact with anyone except for veterans. But he encountered both of these things this time.
当舅舅将一摞材料送进台北公证员协会的窗口后,公证员告诉他,台北市收养政策有多条规定,舅舅只有一条不符合,那就是:养父养女年龄应当相差20年。舅舅绝望地申辩:“我和外甥女年龄相差19年零8个月,是19年零8个月、19年零8 个月啊!”公证员温和而果断地摇摇头:“先生,不能办理。”
After Uncle handed over a stack of documents through the window of the Taipei Notary Public Association, the notary informed him that there were several regulations regarding adoption in Taipei, and Uncle only failed to meet one: the age difference between the adoptive father and daughter should be 20 years at least. Uncle desperately argued, "The age difference between me and my niece is 19 years and 8 months! It's just 2 months from the standard." The notary gently but decisively shook their head and said, "Sir, it cannot be processed."
舅舅跌坐在公证员协会门口,用手捂着胸口。
Uncle slumped down at the entrance of the notary public association, holding his chest with his hand.
后来的事情发展令我吃惊,一生宁折不弯的舅舅竟然违了自己的性格,独自去寻访前台湾“行政院长”郝柏村。
What happened later surprised me. Uncle, who had always been unyielding, went against his own character and visited the Premier of the Republic of China (ROC) , Hau Pei-tsun, alone.
舅舅这样一位普普通通的老兵,怎么敢惊动郝柏村?他为什么去找郝柏村,而不是别的主管高官?我倏地想起了舅舅给我讲述过的一段经历。
How could Uncle, an ordinary veteran, dare to disturb Hau Pei-tsun? Why did he go to see Hau Pei-tsun, instead of other high-ranking officials? Suddenly, I remembered a story Uncle had told me before.
金门之战
The Battle of Kinmen
1992年,舅舅带给我们ー包邮票。他点着其中一枚的画面说:“在这个地方, 我九死一生!”
In 1992, Uncle brought us a package of stamps. Pointing to one of them, he said, "In this place, I narrowly escaped death!"
那是金门。
It was Kinmen.
我叫起来:“哇,舅,你敢跟解放军开战!”
I exclaimed, "Wow, Uncle, you dared to fight against the Communist People's Liberation Army!"
舅舅眯着笑眼,只有饱经沧桑的人才能表现出那份淡定。
Uncle squinted his eyes with a smile, displaying the calmness that only someone who had experienced many hardships could show.

我为此去查金门史料。
I decided to look up the historical records of Kinmen.
金门岛及烈屿、小金门,大大小小计13个岛屿。大金门岛长20公里,东距厦门10公里,形状似哑铃,东部多高山,西部多丘陵,北岸为黄白色沙质硬滩,适宜大规模登陆。
Kinmen Island, along with Lieyu and Lesser Kinmen Island, consists of a total of 13 islands. Kinmen, Main island is 20 kilometers long and 10 kilometers east of Xiamen. It has a dumbbell-like shape, with high mountains in the east and hills in the west. The northern coast is composed of yellow-white sandy beaches, suitable for a big landing.
那时,在美国艾森豪威尔政府的支持下,蒋介石当局频频向金门增兵,除了大担、二担两个小岛已有蒋军驻守外,至1958年夏季,金门已增至10万蒋军。无疑, 金门成了两军必战之地。
At that time, with the support of The Eisenhower Administration, the Nationalist Government of Chiang Kai-shek frequently reinforced Kinmen. Apart from Dadan Island and Erdan Island, two small islands already occupied by the Kuomintang (KMT) forces, there were 100,000 KMT soldiers stationing in Kinmen by the summer of 1958. Undoubtedly, Kinmen had become a battleground for both sides.
1958年7月17日晚,中国国防部部长彭德怀传达了炮击金门的决定。

On the evening of July 17, 1958, China's Defense Minister Peng Dehuai conveyed the decision of the bombardment of Kinmen (Quemoy).
1958年7月18日晚,毛泽东召集各军事部门负责人开会指出:金门炮战,意在击美。
On the evening of July 18, 1958, Mao Tse-tung convened a meeting with military department heads, stating that the bombardment of Kinmen (Quemoy) aimed at attacking the United States.
1958年7月19日至8月中旬,解放军调集兵力,在福建前线部署了地面炮兵 36个营、海岸炮兵6个连,459门火炮,海军80余艘舰艇和海、空军200余架飞机。
From July 19 to mid-August 1958, the Communist People's Liberation Army deployed 36 Field artillery battalions, 6 Coastal Artillery companies, 459 artillery pieces, more than 80 naval vessels, and over 200 aircraft from the navy and air force along the Fujian front.
金门炮击最激烈的时刻,蒋介石派遣蒋经国到金门督战。
During the height of the bombardment of Kinmen (Quemoy), Chiang Kai-shek dispatched Chiang Ching-kuo to oversee the battle.
蒋介石操着浙江奉化口音对儿子说:“我最不放心金门,那个岛离大陆太近,离台湾却很远,我10万将士人人抱定拼死一战的决心,坚守5日,美国必会出兵助战。如3天都守不到,那就没有人会来救它了。你要常去金门,越有紧急情况越要去。金门必须确保无虞, 那里的事情办不好,你就不要回来。”
Speaking in his native accent from Fenghua, Zhejiang, Chiang Kai-shek said to his son, "I'm most worried about Jinmen. That island is too close to the mainland but far from Taiwan. Each of the 100,000 soldiers there is determined to fight to the death and hold on for five days. The United States will surely send troops to assist if we can't hold on for three days. If we can't hold on for even three days, no one will come to rescue it. You must frequently visit Kinmen and go there whenever there is an emergency. Kinmen must be secure. If things there aren't handled well, don't bother coming back."
为遵父训,蒋经国一生共去金门123次。
Following his father's instructions, Chiang Ching-kuo visited Jinmen a total of 123 times during his lifetime.
美国政府不负蒋介石所望,紧急向台湾海峡调遣海、空力量。美国海军第七舰队主力远道而来,美国第一批海军陆战队近4000人在台湾南部登陆,远在中东地区的第六舰队舰只也驶向台湾海峡。不到1〇天,小小的台湾海峡就布满了航空母舰、重型巡洋舰、驱逐舰等各种现代化军舰,而天上也盘旋着第九十六巡逻航空队、第一海军陆战队航空队的飞机。台湾海峡成了举世瞩目的战场。
The U.S. government lived up to Chiang Kai-shek's expectations and urgently deployed naval and air forces to the Taiwan Strait. The main force of United States Seventh Fleet came from afar, and the first batch of nearly 4,000 U.S. Marines landed in southern Taiwan. The naval vessels of United States Sixth Fleet, located in the Middle East region, also sailed toward the Taiwan Strait. Within less than ten days, the small Taiwan Strait was filled with various modern warships, including aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers, and destroyers, while aircraft from The 96th Aero Squadron and The 1st Marine Aircraft Wing hovered in the sky. The Taiwan Strait became a highly watched battlefield.
舅舅部队在这时接到了上岛命令。
At this time, Uncle's unit received the order to go to the island.
那不过是小金门的ー个岛屿,上司规定,要派员先行侦察,然后根据侦察结果部署作战计划。
It was just a small island in Lesser Kinmen Island. The superiors stipulated that personnel should be sent for reconnaissance first, and then operational plans should be deployed based on the reconnaissance results.
命令一下达,没有打过仗的士兵便人人自危。ー个说法不胫而走:解放军海陆空拉好了一张网,谁上金门谁个是死!
Once the order was issued, soldiers who had never been in battle felt anxious. A saying went viral: the Communist People's Liberation Army had set up a net on land, sea, and air, and whoever went to Kinmen was as good as dead!
与舅舅相熟的人央求:“洪洲,不要派俺啊。”
People familiar with Uncle pleaded, "Hongzhou, don't send me."
与舅舅不熟的人央求:“长官,我还小,俺娘等俺养老啊。”
People unfamiliar with Uncle also pleaded, "Commander, I'm still young, my mother is waiting for me to support her in her old age."
舅舅担任分队地面指挥,原本不执行具体任务,然而他禁不起年轻部下的央告,竟身先士卒地跨上了战车。按规定,四人ー车,也就是说,还有三个士兵应该与他同车。
Uncle was assigned as the ground commander but wasn't supposed to carry out specific tasks. However, he couldn't resist the pleading of his young subordinates and ended up being the first to board the vehicle . According to the regulations, there should be four soldiers in one vehicle , which meant three more soldiers should have joined him.
“老吴厂”舅舅大手ー摆,招呼战友;
“Wu”, Uncle, with his broad gestures, beckoned to his comrades,
“他们小,咱俩去执行任务,两人ー车”
" They are too young. Let's go on the mission together, just the two of us in one vehicle ."
老吴磨磨蹭蹭,不情愿地钻进车,发动机轰响起来。舅舅挂上挡,ー脚踩下油门,老吴嘶叫起来:“洪洲,娘就俺ー个儿呀”
Reluctantly, Wu climbed into the vehicle , the engine roared to life. Uncle shifted into gear and pressed the accelerator, and Wu shouted, "Hongzhou, my mother is relying on me alone!"
Old Wu shouted, "Hongzhou, my mother is relying on me alone!"
舅舅立马踩住刹车,痛痛快快地说:“好,你下车,我自己去!”
Uncle immediately stepped on the brakes and calmly said, "Alright, you get off, I'll go alone."
他的平静与宽容,令老吴和所有的士兵吃惊。
His calmness and tolerance surprised Wu and all the soldiers.
老吴下车后,跺着脚对跑远的战车喊:“洪洲,你回不来,俺为你娘送终”
After Wu got off the vehicle , he stomped his feet and shouted to the retreating vehicle , "Hongzhou, if you don't come back, I'll take care of your mother!"
那是一次凶吉难测的侦察。舅舅开着美制两栖突击战车,轰隆隆地下海,又轰隆隆地爬坡登陆。28岁的舅舅也许并不知道打什么仗,也并不愿意伤害谁或被谁伤害,可是当没有人情愿执行任务的时候,血气方刚的他宁愿代替兄弟们上阵。
That was a reconnaissance mission full of uncertainties. Uncle drove an American-made Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV), roaring and plunging into the sea, and then rumbling up the slopes to land. At the age of 28, Uncle perhaps didn't know what kind of battle he was about to face, nor did he want to harm anyone or be harmed. But when no one was willing to carry out the mission, his youthful ardor led him to take the place of his brothers in battle.

天上盘旋着低空搜索的共产党飞机,车旁穿梭着炸开花的弹皮。海涛阵阵,硝烟茫茫。ー个小时,两个小时,三个小时……在每一分每一秒都存在死亡威胁的恐怖时刻,舅舅的水陆战车跑遍了小岛的每一个角落。
Communist aircraft hovered low in the sky, and shells exploded around the vehicle, creating bursts of smoke. The sound of the waves and the vast expanse of gunpowder filled the air. For one hour, two hours, three hours... in every minute and every second of terrifying moments with the constant threat of death, Uncle's amphibious vehicle traversed every corner of the small island.
“报告,”舅舅用无线电喊话,“岛上空无一人,报告完毕「’
“Report,”Uncle radioed, "There is no one on the island, report completed."
“很好,返航!”对讲机那头喊。
"Very well, return!" came the response from the other end of the intercom.
我们不知道舅舅是不是愿意返航,反正,当金门之战后的第四年,也就是1962 年,蒋介石计划反攻大陆,拟派海军陆战队从青岛登陆,舅舅第一个报了名。他的想法很单纯:山东紧挨河南,从青岛登陆就跑回河南老家,谁给他蒋军卖命!当然, 由于蒋介石取消了登陆计划,舅舅也就放弃了自己逃跑回家的梦想。
We didn't know if Uncle was willing to return or not. In any case, in the fourth year after the Battle of Kinmen, which was in 1962, Chiang Kai-shek planned a counterattack on the mainland and intended to send the Marine Corps to land in Qingdao. Uncle was the first to sign up. His idea was simple: Shandong Province is adjacent to Henan Province, so he would land in Qingdao and then run back to his hometown in Henan. Who asked him to devote himself to the Jiang's army! However, since Chiang Kai-shek canceled the landing plan, Uncle also gave up his dream of escaping and returning home.
接下来的事,使舅舅兴奋了许多年。
What happened next excited Uncle for many years.
孤胆作战的舅舅,受到了嘉奖。颁奖会上,39岁的国民党第九师师长郝柏村向他走来。
Uncle, who fought alone, received commendation. At the awards ceremony, General Hau Pei-tsun, the 39-year-old commander of the Kuomintang's 9th Division,
approached him.
郝柏村是蒋军中最年轻的将军。这位黄埔军校第12期毕业生,1956年初就担任金门防卫司令部的炮兵指挥官,睿智过人,他上任后就推倒金门炮兵阵地上的全部沙包掩体,建立了永久性的钢筋水泥掩体,因此,当解放军的密集炮火摧毁了岛上蒋军几乎全部通讯系统时,唯独郝柏村的师部通讯还一直与“总统”办公室保持着联系。
Hau Pei-tsun was the youngest general in the National Army. He was a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy's 12th class and had assumed command of the Kinmen Defense Headquarters' artillery unit in early 1956. He was remarkably wise. Upon taking office, he demolished all the sandbag bunkers on the artillery positions of Kinmen and built permanent reinforced concrete shelters. Therefore, when the intensive artillery fire from the Communist People's Liberation Army destroyed almost all of the communication systems on the island, only Hao Bocun's division headquarters remained in contact with the "President's" office.
据统计,郝柏村当时驻守的小金门承受了解放军发射炮弹总数的近一半,有 578人阵亡。在ー次视察途中,郝柏村刚离开厕所,一发炮弹便轰然炸掉了厕所的左角。这个长着浓眉的郝柏村,简直就是蒋军中的传奇人物。
According to statistics, the Lesser Kinmen Island., where Hau Pei-tsun was stationed, endured nearly half of the total number of shells fired by the Communist People's Liberation Army, with 578 soldiers killed. During one of his inspections, just after Hau Pei-tsun left the restroom, a shell hit and blew up the left corner of the restroom. This thick-browed Hau Pei-tsun was truly a legendary figure in the National Army.
39岁的将军把金灿灿的绶带披在28岁的舅舅肩头上,他大概是舅舅一生中接触过的最高级别长官。最让舅舅不能忘记的是下面的场景,郝师长使劲摇着舅舅的手激动地说:“洪洲啊,你是我们大家的榜样!”
The 39-year-old general draped the golden ribbon over the shoulders of the 28-year-old Uncle. He was probably the highest-ranking officer Uncle had ever come into contact with. The scene that Uncle could never forget was when General Hao grasped his hand tightly and said excitedly, "Hongzhou, you are an example for all of us!"
气壮山河的呼声,长久不息的掌声,全场有节奏的“洪洲一洪洲一”的呐喊声,无疑是舅舅此生获得的最高赞誉。所有人都看到,冷面的舅舅,绽开了一脸灿烂的猩红。
The resounding cheers, the prolonged applause, and the rhythmic shouts of "Hongzhou, Hongzhou" throughout the venue undoubtedly constituted the highest praise Uncle received in his lifetime. Everyone could see that the usually stern Uncle had a bright, radiant smile on his face.
1958年后,金门之战渐渐演变成了象征性战役。中共中央、中央军委规定,逢年过节停炮三天;再往后,一般炮弹只装宣传品,打炮就变成了政治攻势。这样的 “炮战”,从1958年秋冬延续到1979年元旦,整整打了 20年。舅舅早就不闻不问, 也早就不提当年之勇了。
After 1958, the Battle of Kinmen gradually evolved into a symbolic campaign. The Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the Central Military Commission stipulated a three-day ceasefire during holidays and festivals. Later on, ordinary shells were filled with propaganda materials, and the artillery fire turned into a political offensive. This kind of "artillery battle" lasted for 20 years, from the autumn and winter of 1958 to New Year's Day in 1979. Uncle had long ceased to pay attention and no longer mentioned his past valor.

第五章舅舅的婚姻
Chapter 5: Uncle's Marriage
1995年4月,舅舅第六次进北京。
In April 1995, Uncle went to Beijing for the sixth time.
他明显衰老了,进家一会儿,就歪躺在床上。
He's visibly aged and would lie down on the bed shortly after entering the house.
我守在舅舅身边,劝他长留北京,或是购置ー套房子,娶个老伴;或是搬进我和
泰来的家,安度晚年。
I stayed by Uncle's side, persuading him to settle in Beijing and buy a house, and find a companion for his old age. Alternatively, I suggested he move into my and Tailai's home to spend his twilight years.
“我何尝不想有个家?”舅舅坐起身,叹ロ气,“小冬啊,我也本是有过家眷的人!”
"I do want to have a home," Uncle said, sitting up and sighing. "Xiaodong, I was once married!"
我不相信。与舅舅办公证时,我无数次阅读过他的户籍,那上面明明填写的是 “未婚”。他是在何时、何地有过家眷,能在何时、何地有过家眷呢?
I didn't believe him. When we applied for his ID card, I had read his household registration countless times, and it clearly stated "unmarried." When and where did he have a family and how ?
舅舅赶紧说:“小冬,你别用这样的眼神看我。这件事在我心里存了太久,我本来想烂在肚里的。”
Uncle quickly said, "Xiaodong, don't look at me with that kind of expression. This matter has been weighing on my heart for too long. I originally wanted to keep it to myself."
我不吭声,舅舅这人独处惯了,心里搁得住事,他不想告诉人的,你再问也没用。
I remained silent. Uncle was accustomed to solitude, capable of keeping all the things to himself. If he didn't want to tell anyone, no amount of questioning would yield an answer.
我把茶杯捧给舅舅,他开始述说了。一段陈年往事,随着茶水飘出的雾气,徐徐铺展开来。
I handed Uncle a cup of tea, and he began to speak. A long-forgotten story unfolded slowly with the mist from the tea.
读者朋友,我想您听完,可能会和我ー样感慨,舅舅的这段经历,简直就像个民间故事。
Dear reader, I believe that after listening, you may feel the same as me. Uncle's experience is like a folk tale.
江西妹俚A Jiangxi woman
这件事,发生在舅舅被抓壮丁后不久,1948年的冬季。
This incident occurred shortly after Uncle was conscripted in the winter of 1948.
舅舅换上军装,随部队往南开,一天一天地行军,走到江西收了脚。舅舅当然不知道蒋介石登陆台湾之前背水ー战的攻略,还奇怪队伍怎么会在江西安营扎寨, 让他们过上了农家生活。
Uncle changed into his military uniform and marched south with the troops. Day after day, they stopped until they reached Jiangxi. Uncle had no knowledge of Chiang Kai-shek's strategy of fighting to the death before retreating to Taiwan. He found it strange that why the troops would set up camp in Jiangxi, allowing them to experience life in rural areas.
舅舅出身农民,进小村如鱼得水,每日抡镐挥锹、担水劈柴,毫不惜カ。身边几个没出过村的河南小兵都听舅舅的话,指望舅舅能带他们回家。
Coming from a peasant background, Uncle adapted easily to the village life, wielding a hoe and shovel, carrying water and chopping firewood without hesitation. The few young soldiers from Henan who had never left their village followed Uncle's lead, hoping he could bring them back home.
那是个偶然,排长发现了舅舅的鼓动能量,命他做了班长。于是,就在江西ー个偏僻的小村庄里,舅舅成为村民们热议的人物。
It was a coincidence that the platoon leader noticed Uncle's leadership qualities and appointed him as a squad leader. Thus, in a remote village in Jiangxi, Uncle became a person of great interest among the villagers.
紧跟着,美事从天降。
Soon after, a stroke of luck came his way.
房东大妈对舅舅说:“班长呀,你多大?”舅舅正要担水,停下脚步说:“周岁18 咧,大妈。”房东拉住舅舅的扁担,扯他进场屋,郑重地说:“我看你是个下カ气做活的人,我家妹俚20岁,许给你愿意不?”舅舅憋红了脸,抓住扁担要走。房东说:“上面长官管不到你的,不说谁晓得?往后她就是你的人,随你到哪里去。”
The landlady asked Uncle, "Squad leader, how old are you?" Uncle, about to fetch water, stopped and said, "I just turned 18, aunty." The landlady grabbed hold of Uncle's shoulder pole and pulled him into her courtyard. She said solemnly, "I can see that you're a capable and hardworking person. My younger sister, is 20 years old. Would you like to marry her?" Uncle blushed, held onto his shoulder pole and tried to leave. The landlady said, "Your superiors won't have any say in this. Who would know if we didn't tell them? From now on, she will be yours, and you can take her wherever you go."
妹俚在里屋嗡嗡地织布,麻麻利利,织出的布泻到了地上。妹俚一定是听见了,织布机突然没了声响。
The girl was humming as she wove cloth in the inner room, working diligently and skillfully. She must have heard the conversation, for the sound of the weaving machine suddenly ceased.
妹俚结结实实,人好手巧,咋能让她失望呢?
The girl was kind and dexterous, and how could Uncle let her down?
舅舅的血ー热,忘记了我姥姥。他吐出了一个字:“中。”
Uncle's blood boiled, and forgot about my grandmother. He uttered a single word, "Okay,I will marry her."
就这样,没有法律文书认定,只有月亮做证的是,我们这一代有了个舅妈。咱们假定舅妈叫崔氏,在村庄由班长说了算的小天下,舅舅不请示,不汇报,与崔氏过上了新婚日子。他差不多忘记了自己是一个兵,也忘记了带弟兄们回家的承诺。
That's how it happened. Without any legal documents and with only the moon as a witness, we had an aunt. Let's call her Cui. In this small village where the squad leader's word was law, Uncle didn't seek permission from or report to anyone and started a new life with Cui. He almost forgot that he was a soldier and the promise he made to bring his comrades home.
天暖了,舅舅赶着拉犁的牛下田,崔氏在田壇上跟着走。舅舅说:“恁和我,就是牛郎织女。”崔氏崇拜地望着舅舅:“你晓得的蛮多嘲。”舅舅大笑:“我娘会讲好多故事,会唱好多戏文哩!”
As the weather warmed up, Uncle plowed the fields with the oxen, and Cui followed along in the field. Uncle said, "We are like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl." Cui looked at Uncle with admiration and said, "You are knowledgeable ." Uncle laughed, "My mother used to tell me many stories and she can sing many drama text."
村庄里有条沿河的沟,长了满满ー沟绿野菜,舅舅查岗回来,就与崔氏一起给猪挖野菜。崔氏说:“卖了猪,有了盘缠,我跟你回家看娘。”舅舅就拉住她的手,指着延伸进荒野的黄褐色土路说:“就从这儿往北走,恁记住,是河南。”
There was a ditch along the river in the village, filled with wild green vegetables. After patrolling, Uncle and Cui would gather the vegetables for the pigs. Cui said, "Once the pigs grow up and sold out. We will have some money, I'll go with you to visit your mother." Uncle held her hand and pointed to the dusty road extending into the wilderness, saying, "We'll head north from here, remember, it's Henan."
崔氏是个贤惠女人,没出过村庄,踏踏实实持家,一心一意跟定了自己的男人。每当黄昏时分,舅舅就帮她挑好水,烧上几把柴,不等饭熟,就去兵营吃饭了。崔氏不知道,就是那座简陋的茅草房,成为舅舅生平唯一的小家;她给予的温暖,也是舅舅这一生中难得的情爱。
Cui was a virtuous woman who had never left the village. She managed the household well and devoted herself wholeheartedly to her husband. Every evening, when dusk approached, Uncle would help her fetch water and gather firewood, but he would leave and eat at the barracks before the meal was done. Cui didn't know that their modest thatched cottage had become Uncle's only home in his entire life. The warmth she provided was also a rare affection in Uncle's life.
可惜,日子仅仅过了两个月,猪儿长得正壮实,队伍就开拔了。
Unfortunately, their time together lasted only two months, just as the pigs were growing strong and sturdy, the unit was ordered to move out.
舅舅记起了自己是ー个兵。他对泪水涟涟的崔氏说:“我要是回来,ー准接你, 咱们去找我娘,往后和娘过日子;要是2年没音讯,你就改嫁。”
Uncle remembered that he was a soldier. He said to tearful Cui, "If I come back, I will definitely come for you. We'll go find my mother and live with her. But if you don't hear from me for two years, then you should remarry."
崔氏顺着长满野菜的绿沟跑,踩塌了一沟野菜;之后又跳上延伸进荒野的黄褐色土路,如果队伍往北开,她就跟着走。可队伍朝南开了,崔氏一屁股坐在路边大哭起来。
Cui ran alongside the ditch filled with wild vegetables, trampling over them. Then she jumped onto the dusty road extending into the wilderness. If the unit headed north, she would follow. But the unit went south, and Cui sat down on the roadside and burst into tears.
从此,这个队伍再没有给过舅舅一方像江西村庄那样的自由天地,他也就永远失去了逃离队伍的可能。
From then on, this unit never gave the same freedom that Uncle had experience in the village of Jiangxi. He had lost the possibility of escaping from the unit forever.
从此,那ー沟绿野菜,那沿沟奔跑的自己的女人,幻化成了硕大的影像,在舅舅脑海中闪回了一辈子。
And that ditch filled with green vegetables, that woman who ran along the ditch, transformed into a vivid image that haunted Uncle's mind throughout his life.
舅舅喝着茶,不再说话。
Uncle drank his tea and fell silent.
我脑海里一直晃动着那个沿沟追跑的年轻女子形象。有谁知道,这女子是多么悲哀、多么绝望?她等待了多少年?吃了多少苦?算起来,现在舅舅65岁,崔氏应该是67岁,正常的话她当健在。我就对舅舅说:“有没有地址?我陪您去江西走ー趟!”
In my mind, the image of the young woman chasing after him along the ditch kept swirling. Who knew how sad and desperate she was? How many years has she waited? How much hardship has she endured? Considering that Uncle is now 65 years old, Cui should be around 67 if she is still alive. So I said to Uncle, "Do you have an address? I'll accompany you on a trip to Jiangxi!"
舅舅染过的头发有序地分在两边,微微晃动:“十多年前,我就给这个小村写过信,人家没有回音,怕是改嫁了,咱对不起人,不能再打扰了。”
Uncle's dyed hair was neatly parted on both sides and swayed slightly. He said, "Over ten years ago, I wrote a letter to this small village, but there was no response. Perhaps she has remarried. I have already caused enough trouble, and I shouldn't disturb her anymore."
我知道,蒋介石政权逃台初期,为反攻大陆,下达了禁婚令,禁止所有赴台军人结婚;违者,军法处置。
I know that during the early period of Chiang Kai-shek's regime's escape to Taiwan, a marriage ban was imposed to prevent all soldiers going to Taiwan from getting married. Violators would face death penalty.
就这样,无数赴台军人沸腾的情爱、宝贵的青春年华,都被葬送进冷冰冰的反人性的禁婚令里。数万万老兵被抓时孑然ー身,返乡时依旧孤影相伴。我的叔叔, 一位卓尔不群的国军文员,在禁婚令废止后,只好与一位自己不喜欢的女子结婚, 抑郁追随了他终生。
In this way, countless soldiers' passionate love and precious youth were buried in the cold and inhumane marriage ban. Tens of millions of veterans were left alone when they were captured and remained solitary when they returned home. My uncle, an outstanding soldier of the National Army, had no choice but to marry a woman he didn't like after the marriage ban was lifted. He lived his life in depression.
我想探究到舅舅的心底,就问:“舅啊,您在台湾过了大半辈子,就没遇见ー个可心女子?”
I wanted to delve into my uncle's innermost feelings, so I asked, "Uncle, didn't you meet a woman you liked during your time in Taiwan for more than half a lifetime?"
舅舅的话又让我吃惊了,他说:“怎么没有?我还有儿子呢。”
Once again, my uncle's words surprised me. He said, "How could I not? I even have a son."
唉唉唉,你这个舅舅啊,到底藏掖着多少我不知道的事!
Oh, Uncle, how many things are you hiding from me?
“都是陈芝麻烂谷子的事了,”舅舅说,“哪里想瞒你!”
"It's all trivial matters of the past," my uncle said, "I didn't intend to hide them from you!"
我续了水,茶水飘出的雾气重新弥漫开来。往事一定触动了舅舅的伤处,他用大手捧着茶杯,讲得很慢,语调里掺着凄凉。
I refilled the water, and the mist from the tea began to diffuse again. The past must have touched a sore spot in my uncle's heart. He held the teacup in his large hands and spoke slowly, his tone filled with sorrow.
读者朋友,下面的事情,就像一部出乎人们意料的悲剧作品情节。
Dear readers, the events that follow are like unexpected tragic plot twists in a play.
台北之恋
Love in Taipei
舅舅是个不畏惧军法军规的人,当他意识到已经没有可能再与崔氏团聚时,正好遇到一位姑娘。
My uncle was a man who had no fear of military law and regulations. When he realized that it was no longer possible to reunite with Mrs. Cui, he happened to meet a young lady.
姑娘是居住在眷村的大陆女子。舅舅没有说她的姓名,我们姑且称她为郑小姐。郑小姐是护士,干干净净,犹如天使一般圣洁。他们可能在谁家初遇,也可能被谁介绍相识,这些都不知道,知道的是他们经历了花前月下的盟誓,度过了海边肌肤相亲的夜晚,他们焕发出了年轻人轰轰烈烈的激情,决心永生永世不分离〇
The young lady was a woman from Chinese mainland living in the military dependents' village. My uncle didn't mention her name, so let's call her Miss Zheng for now. Miss Zheng was a nurse, pure and clean, as if she were a holy angel. They might have met at someone's house or been introduced by someone; it's unknown. What we know is that they experienced a passionate courtship under the moonlight, spent nights by the sea intimately, and they radiated the fiery passion of young people, vowing never to be separated for eternity.
如果就这样悄悄幽会,如果就这样组织ー个地下家庭,他们说不定能够坚守到废止禁婚令的一天,那时将这份纯洁的爱情告白于天下,他们就成为世界上最幸福的伉俪。
If they quietly continued their secret rendezvous and formed an underground family, their love might be gone public when the marriage ban was lifted. At that time, they could have proudly proclaimed their pure love to the world and become the happiest couple in the world.
可是,有一天事情急剧地朝反方向逆转。
However, one day things took a sharp turn in the opposite direction.
那是ー个没有月亮的夜晚。他们原约定晚上7点见面,这时舅舅接到了公务, 原本应该辞掉约会,可他辞掉了公务。他站立在街头的屋檐下等候。
It was a moonless night. They had agreed to meet at 7 o'clock in the evening, but my uncle received official duties and should have canceled the appointment. However, he canceled his official duties instead and stood waiting under the eaves of a street.
7点,8点,9点……舅舅的脚麻木了,腿麻木了。军人不喜欢坐,他是个固执的人,郑小姐不来,他就会永远站下去。
7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock... My uncle's feet and legs grew numb. Soldiers don't like to sit; he was a stubborn man. If Miss Zheng didn't come, he would stand there forever.
第二天凌晨3点,郑小姐到了。
At 3 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Miss Zheng arrived.
舅舅等待她开腔,或是解释,或是抱歉,不管说什么,舅舅都希望郑小姐说点什么。可是,没有,郑小姐什么都没说。
My uncle waited for her to speak, to explain or apologize, no matter what she said, he just hoped she would say something. But she didn't say anything, not a word.
军人胸腔里的怨火倏地蹿出来,他伸出大大的巴掌扇过去。
The resentment in the soldier's chest burst out, and he slapped her with his big hand.
郑小姐的眼泪涌出来,她猛转身,怀着愤怒疾步去了。
Tears welled up in Miss Zheng's eyes. She turned around abruptly and left angrily.
没有人举报舅舅。所有战友都想修复这场历时不足1年的恋情。人们说解铃还须系铃人,唯有舅舅道歉才能挽回爱情。人们说舅舅脾气太大应该好好改ー改, 可舅舅说她小郑心里有我自然回来,没我不回来也不可惜!
No one reported my uncle. All his comrades wanted to mend this relationship that had lasted less than a year. They said the one who started it should be the one to end it, and only by apologizing could my uncle salvage the love. They said my uncle had a bad temper and should change for the better. However, my uncle said, "If Zheng Xiaozheng still loves me, she'll naturally come back. If she doesn't come back, it's not a loss!"
不知道郑小姐心里有没有舅舅,也不知道那晚她迟到的原因,反正,郑小姐没有回来。
It was unknown if Miss Zheng still loved my uncle or the reason for her lateness that night. Anyway, Miss Zheng did not come back.
几个月后,舅舅的战友老张带来的消息令所有人大吃ー惊:郑小姐生下了舅舅的儿子。
A few months later, everyone was shocked by the news brought by my uncle's comrade, Lao Zhang: Miss Zheng had given birth to my uncle's son.
舅舅捶胸顿足,才知道郑小姐那晚迟到的原因可能与怀孕相关。
My uncle beat his breast, realizing that the reason for Miss Zheng's lateness that night might be related to her pregnancy.
可是,心寒彻骨的郑小姐没有留给舅舅认错的机会。舅舅的战友老张说,郑小姐患了精神病,住进医院,只能将儿子送还给舅舅。
However, the heart-chilling Miss Zheng did not give my uncle a chance to apologize. Lao Zhang, my uncle's comrade, said that Miss Zheng had developed a mental illness and was admitted to a hospital. They could only send the son back to my uncle.
不管舅舅多么渴望以自己的儿子为中原父母续上香火,不管舅舅多么憎恶束缚人性的军法,他都清楚自己的处境。为军规,他无法收留儿子;为儿子,他不能让孩子蒙羞成长。唯一的办法,是将儿子暂时留在有妻有女的战友老张家里。
No matter how much my uncle longed to continue his family line with his own son, no matter how much he detested the binding military law, he understood his predicament. Due to the regulations, he couldn't take in his son; for his son's sake, he couldn't let the child grow up in shame. The only solution was to temporarily leave his son in the care of his comrade Lao Zhang, who had a wife and daughter.
就这样,儿子随了张姓,为不忘家乡,起名张中原。
That's how his son became part of the Zhang family, taking the surname Zhang. And in order to remember his hometown, they named him Zhang Zhongyuan.
张中原一天一天长大,他知道洪洲叔叔与父亲亲密无间,知道洪洲叔叔总是给他钱花,不知道洪洲叔叔每月向父亲提供着他的全部生活开销,也不知道他的生母长年住在医院里。
Zhang Zhongyuan grew up day by day. He knew that Uncle Hongzhou and his father were close , and Uncle Hongzhou always gave him pocket money. However, he didn't know that Uncle Hongzhou provided his father with all his living expenses every month, nor did he know that his biological mother lived in the hospital all year round.
张中原长成了壮小伙。老张无数次地说:“洪洲,告诉孩子实情吧。”可舅舅说:“老张,再等等吧,你付出的心血太多,那样对你不公平啊「’
As time went by, Zhang Zhongyuan grew into a strong young man. Lao Zhang had said countless times, "Hongzhou, tell the child the truth." But my uncle said, "Zhang, let's wait a little longer. You've put in so much effort; it wouldn't be fair to you."
张中原到了娶妻的年龄,舅舅花钱筹办了婚事;张中原到了生子的年龄,生了两个女儿--张台凤、张台凰,舅舅倾其所有。应该说,除了没有名分,舅舅也算儿孙满堂了。
When Zhang Zhongyuan reached the age to marry, my uncle spent money to arrange the wedding. When he reached the age to have children, he had two daughters—Zhang Taifeng and Zhang Taihuang. My uncle gave everything he had for his son's family. It could be said that apart from the lack of official recognition, my uncle had a houseful of children and grandchildren.
张中原有一份稳定的收入,每日骑着摩托车去公司上班,舅舅看着高兴。
Zhang Zhongyuan had a stable income. He commuted to work on a motorcycle every day, which made my uncle happy.
日子就这样一天一天地过,没有大惊大喜,也没有大悲大怨。平安是福,舅舅这样说。
Days passed by peacefully, without great joy or sorrow. "Peace is a blessing," my uncle would say.
可是,有一天,不平安了。
But one day, peace was shattered
报信人说,32岁的张中原在台北出了车祸,当街身亡。
The messenger said that 32-year-old Zhang Zhongyuan had been killed in a car accident in Taipei, right on the street.
梦想,又一次被轰毁。
Dreams were once again shattered.
舅舅觉得天塌下来了。他闭住眼睛,泪水横流,恨不得死在当街上的是自己。
My uncle felt like the sky was falling. He closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, wishing that it was himself lying dead on the street.
孙女台凤、台凰的母亲,就是舅舅的亲儿媳,决定改嫁,后来偕二女嫁到了另ー座城市。自此,舅舅已经没有太多理由去看望自己的骨血。他偶尔带上ー笔钱看望孙女,倒使儿媳妇吃惊。就这样,舅舅与她们越来越少走动,更无法亲ロ言说事情真相。到老张去世后,已经无人为整个事情正名。
The mother of his granddaughters, Taifeng and Taihuang, who was also his own daughter-in-law, decided to remarry and eventually moved to another city with their two daughters. Since then, my uncle had fewer reasons to visit his own flesh and blood. He would occasionally bring some money to see his granddaughters, much to the surprise of his daughter-in-law. As a result, my uncle interacted less and less with them and couldn't even speak the truth about the situation. After Zhang's death, there was no one left to set the record straight for the whole situation.
他只剩下了自己。
He was alone.
幼年失去父母,中年失去妻子,晚年失去儿子。
He lost his parents in his youth, his wife in middle age, and his son in old age.
人生的几股飓风刮过去了,风过无痕。
The hurricanes of life had swept past, leaving no trace behind.
公安局的罚款
The fine from the Public Security Bureau
其实,我们说服舅舅居京的工作已经进行好几年了,舅舅就是担心时局有变, 不敢住在北京。却不过我们的盛情,这次进京,他ーロ就答应了。
In fact, we had been persuading my uncle to take a job in Beijing for several years. He was concerned about the changing political situation and was afraid to live in Beijing. But despite our insistence, he finally agreed this time to come to Beijing.
到京两天后,舅舅感到体力恢复了些,爸爸陪着他去派出所报户ロ。
Two days after arriving in Beijing, my uncle felt his strength returning. My father accompanied him to the local police station to register his residence.
舅舅的腰板又挺起来了,用木梳将头发有序地分在两边,不知道他是不是想以那种训练有素的老兵形象进出共产党的派出所,反正他的神态很好。
My uncle straightened his back, used a wooden comb to neatly part his hair on both sides. I don't know if he intended to present himself as a disciplined old soldier when entering and leaving the Communist Party's police station. He appeared in good spirits.
我们完全没想到,ー个意外的变故中止了本可能实现的计划。
We never expected that an unexpected incident would disrupt the plans that could have been realized.
户籍科的年轻民警看看机票说:“先生,您超过了 24小时,按规定得去局里报户口。”
The young police officer from the household registration department looked at the plane ticket and said, "Sir, you have exceeded the 24-hour limit. According to regulations, you need to report to the local bureau."
年迈的爸爸陪着有病的舅舅叫了出租车,去局里报户口。没有人告诉他们详细地址,两位老人找啊找,找了两个小时。路上,舅舅就感到心绞痛,含了硝酸甘油。
My elderly father accompanied my sick uncle and hailed a taxi to go to the local bureau to report the residence. No one told them the detailed address, and the two elderly people searched and searched for two hours. Along the way, my uncle felt angina and took a nitroglycerin tablet.
区公安分局户籍科的民警很和气,但也很坚决:按规定,罚款500元人民币。
The police officer from the household registration department in the district was friendly but firm: according to regulations, there was a fine of 500 yuan.
舅舅的脾气上来了 : “我要不报户ロ呢?”
My uncle's temper flared up, "What if I don't report my residence?"
民警依然和气而坚决:“您自己负责后果。”
The police officer remained friendly yet resolute, "You will be responsible for the consequences."
罚款交了,临时户口报上了,而舅舅也躺在床上了。
The fine was paid, and the temporary residence was reported, but my uncle was also lying in bed.
晚上,他单方面推翻了集体确认的家庭结论,一句话甩出来:“我是外乡人,绝不把家安在北京!”
That night, he unilaterally overturned the collective consensus on the family's decision and blurted out, "I am an outsider, I will never settle my family in Beijing!"
这句话算是板上钉钉,到死他都没有更改。
This statement was final, and he never changed it until his death.
我说:“舅舅,派出所罚款,事出有因,我有责任,应当在24小时之内去派出所说明,但这是个偶然,它与您定居北京没有必然关系。”
I said, "Uncle, the fine from the police station has a reason, and I should take the responsibility. I should have gone to the police station to explain within 24 hours, but it's just an accident. It doesn't necessarily mean you can't settle in Beijing."
这话讲出来,我都觉得太原则,硬邦邦的,好像是在念文件。舅舅ー摆手,根本不想听。
When I said these words, I felt that they were too principled and rigid, as if I was reading from a document. My uncle waved his hand, not wanting to listen at all.
我换个角度说服他:“您是大陆人,叶落归根总要回乡啊。”
I tried to persuade him from a different angle, "You are a mainland Chinese, and as the saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots. You should come back to your hometown."
舅舅纠正我:“大陆、台湾都是中国的,台湾也是我的家。”
My uncle corrected me, "Both Chinese mainland and Chinese Taiwan are part of China, and Taiwan is also my home."
这是我第一次知道舅舅的观点,他反对“台独”。
It was the first time I learned about my uncle's viewpoint. He was against "Taiwan independence".
我挨着舅舅坐下来,轻声问:“您真的不想回大陆吗?”
" I sat down next to him and asked softly, "Do you really not want to go back to Chinese mainland?"

舅舅好久オ说:“哪里是我不想……”
My uncle took a long time to speak, "It's not that I don't want to..."
两行浑浊的泪水从他紧闭的眼窝中流淌下来了,他的声音充满了委屈:“是人家不要我啊。”
Two muddy tears flowed from his tightly closed eye sockets, and his voice was filled with grievances, "It's that people don't want me."
1999年1月,舅舅大病初愈,第七次来北京。
In January 1999, my uncle came to Beijing for the seventh time after recovering from a serious illness.
我从舅舅脸上读出了岁月的沧桑,他的背微驼,已经不再拥有军人挺拔的形体。但是,我知道,他心里永远有一股坚韧的精神。
I could see the traces of time on my uncle's face, his back slightly hunched, no longer possessing the upright posture of a soldier. However, I knew that he always had a resilient spirit in his heart.
果然,舅舅说:“明年咱俩去贵州,看望你二姥姥。”
Sure enough, my uncle said, "Next year, let's go to Guizhou to visit Lao Er."
我说:“您还想为我姥爷迁墓啊?”
I said, "Do you still want to relocate my grandfather's grave?"
舅舅用手撑着沙发扶手,慢慢坐下来:“看天意吧。”
My uncle supported himself on the armrest of the sofa and slowly sat down, saying, "Let's see what fate has in store."
我一口答应去贵州。当时我没有料到,老天可能不会恩赐给我们这个机会。
I readily agreed to go to Guizhou. At that time, I didn't anticipate that fate might not grant us this opportunity.
舅舅摆手时,我见他的手指空空的,就问:“舅,您的戒指咋没了?”
When my uncle waved his hand, I noticed that his finger was empty, so I asked, "Uncle, where is your ring?"
舅舅手上的戒指老是被人要走。我曾经为他购买过ー块上好的玉,舅舅回台北到金店打了一个金配玉的大戒指,戴了 2年就没了。
My uncle's ring was always being taken away by someone. I had once bought him a good piece of jade, and my uncle had it made into a large ring in a gold shop in Taipei. However, it was lost after wearing it for two years.
舅舅说:“让台湾工厂里的小女工抓跑了。”
My uncle said, "One of the young female workers in the Taiwanese factory took it."
我埋怨他:“戒指很大呢,小女工要你就给?”
I complained to him, "The ring is quite big, and you just gave it to a young worker?"
舅舅一笑:“钱是身外物呀。”
My uncle laughed, "Money is just an external possession."
我说:“舅,您下次来,我送您ー块缅甸A翠,咱打ー个更大的戒指,您不能再送人。”
I said, "Uncle, next time you come, I'll give you a piece of Burmese jadeite, and we'll make an even bigger ring. You can't give it away anymore."
舅舅笑得很开心:“一言为定。”
My uncle laughed happily, "Deal."
我与舅舅早已经像父女ー样生活,每次他进京,我都会给他准备ー笔零用钱。舅舅每次委托我兑换的美元,我都坚持在他离境前塞回他的皮箱。
I have been living with my uncle as if he were my father. Every time he came to Beijing, I would prepare some pocket money for him. Every time my uncle entrusted me to exchange US dollars for him, I insisted on putting them back in his suitcase before he left.
舅舅临走前委托我给他买些礼物,说是所在工厂里有位常姓女工,在他住院期间受老板委托负责护理,不怕脏累,极其友好,要买高级狐皮送给常小姐,还要买ー件上好的皮夹克送给常小姐的先生,常家先生开计程车,用得上。我都照办,到王府井建华皮货店买了上等皮货。
Before leaving, my uncle entrusted me to buy some gifts for him. He said there was a female worker surnamed Chang in the factory who had been entrusted by the boss to take care of him during his hospitalization. She wasn't afraid of dirt or tiredness and was extremely friendly. He wanted to buy a high-quality fox fur for Miss Chang and a fine leather jacket for Miss Chang's husband, Mr. Chang. Mr. Chang worked as a taxi driver and could make use of it. I followed his instructions and bought a top-quality leather goods at the Jianhua Leather Shop in Beijing Wangfujing Street .
那时,我还没有注意这位常姓女工,不知道她已经介入了舅舅的生活。
At that time, I didn't pay much attention to this Miss Chang and didn't realize that she had already involved in my uncle's life.
我和哥哥商量,既然无法劝说舅舅居京,就动员他在北京找一位太太,随他去台湾,帮他料理生活。舅舅考虑了两个月,直到离京オ点头同意。我与哥哥在婚介所为舅舅填表寻偶,大概想去台湾的人不少,没几个月,女方填写的约见单就累积了厚厚一摞。我们锁定了一位50岁的护士长,我用挂号信, 将护士长的照片及详细资料寄给了舅舅。
My brother and I discussed that since we couldn't persuade our uncle to settle in Beijing, we should encourage him to find a wife in Beijing who is willing to accompany him to Taiwan and take care of his daily life. After considering for two months, my uncle finally agreed with a nod. My brother and I filled out a matchmaking form for my uncle at a matchmaking agency. There were quite a few people interested in going to Taiwan, and within a few months, we had accumulated a thick stack of meeting requests filled out by prospective matches. We decided on a 50-year-old head nurse, and I sent her photo and detailed information to my uncle via registered mail.
一封,没有回信,两封,还是没有回信。
One letter, no reply. Two letters, still no reply.
我耐不住,就给舅舅打电话。
I couldn't wait any longer, so I called my uncle.
电话是个年轻女人接的,我吓了一跳,赶紧说:“你好,请问你是哪位?”
A young woman answered the phone, which startled me. I quickly said, "Hello, may I ask who you are?
对方很警惕:“你是谁?”
The other person was cautious and asked, "Who is this?"
我说:“我是北京的,请让我舅舅听电话。”
I said, "I'm from Beijing. Please let me talk to my uncle."
对方说:“他不在。”
"He's not here."
我说:“请你转告我舅舅..”
I said, "Please let him know that I called."
女人已经挂断了电话。
The woman hung up the phone.
我暗自思忖:她是谁呢?常小姐吗?可口音是北方人啊。
I wondered to myself, who was she? Miss Chang? But her accent sounded like someone from northern China.
晚上,舅舅回电话了。
In the evening, my uncle called back.
我问:“舅舅,您收到我的信没有?”
I asked, "Uncle, did you receive my letters?"
舅舅很惊讶:“没有啊!”
My uncle was surprised and said, "No!"
我说:“是挂号信呀。”
I said, "They were sent by registered mail."
舅舅在北京的一次家庭聚会上说过,他有个单独信箱,那信箱里存着他的希望,他每天都要开锁看信。说完,他还乐呵呵地添了一句:“谁写信多,我回来有奖励呀。”那时,我们都笑起来了。
My uncle had mentioned at a family gathering in Beijing that he had a separate mailbox where he kept his hopes, and he would unlock it every day to read the letters. After saying that, he happily added, "I'll have a reward for whoever sends me the most letters when I come back." We all laughed at that time.
电话那头,舅舅没吭声。
On the other end of the phone, my uncle remained silent.
我明白是怎么回事了。怕舅舅为难,我岔开话题:“舅啊,我当教授了,批文下来啦。”
I understood what was going on. Afraid of causing difficulties for my uncle, I changed the subject and said, "Uncle, I've become a professor. The approval dcame through."
这个原来带给过我们无比快乐的话题,此刻如同直落进棉花垛里,没有激起任何回响。
This topic that had once brought us immense joy now fell into a pile of cotton, without eliciting any response.
“舅啊,你有事要告诉我? ”我问。
"Uncle, is there something you want to tell me?" I asked.
舅舅果然说了:“今天接你电话的人叫樊月,山东人,她嫁给了我的战友,战友上个月死了 ,她没地方住,坚持要住在我这里,我怎么撵她她都不走,我又不能推操拉拽,只好自己搬到外面住。你给我打电话时我就在别人家。”
As expected, my uncle spoke, "The person who answered your call today is Fan Yue, a woman from Shandong. She married my comrade-in-arms, who passed away last month. She has nowhere to stay and insists on living with me. No matter how I try to drive her away, she won't leave. I can't push or drag her, so I had to move out and find a place to stay. When you called me, I was at someone else's house."
又停了停,舅舅说:“樊月不走,一定要嫁给我,她从家里追到家外,见人就说我收了她,很烦人。她比你都小,我怎么能娶她?她成天叨叨的,我不同意不成。”
He paused for a moment and continued, "Fan Yue won't leave. She insists on marrying me. She followed me from my home to outside, telling everyone that I accepted her. It's annoying. She's younger than you, how can I marry her? She nags all the time, and I can't agree to it."
我的心倏地沉下,沉到了没有回声的深渊。
My heart sank abruptly, sinking into an abyss without echoes.
我只好问:“樊月品行怎么样?”
I had no choice but to ask, "What is Fan Yue's character like?"
舅舅:“她对我倒是蛮好的,给我换着花样做饭,把屋子收拾得亮堂堂的。咳, 你不知道我这个屋原来有多乱!她还说要给我养老送终,不嫁我不离开台湾……”
My uncle replied, "She's pretty good to me, cooks different dishes for me, and keeps the house clean and bright. Oh, you don't know how messy my place was before! She even says she wants to take care of me in my old age. If I don't marry her, she won't leave Taiwan..."
我的舅舅啊,您那种贯彻终生的成熟的清醒,到哪里去了?
Oh, my uncle, where has your mature and clear-minded judgment gone?
我握着话筒,说着自知软弱无力的话:“您可要考虑好呀,舅！”
I held the phone, uttering words that I knew were weak and powerless, "Uncle, you really need to consider it carefully!"
舅舅倒是胸有成竹:“你放心好了,按婚姻政策,我得回大陆登记。那时先到北京,
让你妈和你看看,你们批准了再结婚,行不?”
Uncle seemed confident, saying, "Don't worry. According to marriage policies, I have to register in Chinese mainland. I'll go to Beijing first at that time and let your mother and you take a look. If you approve, then we can get married, alright?"
说到最后,他竟然笑起来。我能想象他眯缝着笑眼的样子。
At the end, he even laughed. I could imagine his smiling eyes squinting.
舅舅的心灵是不设防的心灵,他的善良永远如一泓清泉,明澈澈的。
My uncle's heart was an unguarded one, his kindness forever like a clear spring, transparent and pure
遗留的事情
Things after death
当舅舅从感情上已经接受樊月的时候,我就知道,他涉进了一条不归的河,他绝没有机会再从河的另ー头返回。可是我无法终止他的行为。
When my uncle had already accepted Fan Yue emotionally, I knew that he had entered a river from which there was no return. He would never have a chance to come back from the other side of the river. But I couldn't stop his actions.
舅舅不再给我们写信,甚至不再打电话。
Uncle no longer wrote us letters, nor did he call anymore.
1998年末,舅舅患直肠癌,做了切除手术。他不会再来北京,我原希望能够跟他在北京长谈的梦想算是破灭了。
At the end of 1998, my uncle was diagnosed with rectal cancer and underwent surgery. He wouldn't come to Beijing anymore, and my dream of having a long conversation with him in Beijing was shattered.
我不知道舅舅怎么会得了那种积劳积怨方易形成的气滞肠寒无法善终的绝症。他知足常乐、豁达开朗、淡然处世、与人无争,老天怎么会把这场灭顶之灾抛给他呢?
I didn't know how my uncle ended up with such a terminal illness, a culmination of accumulated grievances and unresolved issues in his body. He was content, optimistic, indifferent to worldly matters, and never sought conflict. How could fate throw such a devastating calamity upon him?
1999年春节,我拨通了舅舅的电话。
During the Chinese New Year in 1999, I dialed my uncle's number.
舅舅ー听到我的声音就很感动,他说,正在做化疗,情况不是很好;他已经把遗产分配好了,让我转告母亲,也要我放心。我知道,他是暗示我,给我母亲与我都留够了钱。
Uncle was touched to hear my voice. He said he was undergoing chemotherapy and his condition wasn't good. He had already arranged his inheritance and asked me to inform my mother, assuring me not to worry. I knew he was hinting that he had set aside enough money for both my mother and me.
我的眼泪流下来,这时候怎么能谈遗产呢?
Tears streamed down my face. How could we talk about inheritance at a time like this?
舅舅说:我知道你想来照顾我,按规定,除了你母亲,你们谁也不能来台湾,可是你母亲年近八旬,难以承受舟车之劳了。
Uncle said, "I know you want to come and take care of me, but according to regulations, except for your mother, none of you can come to Taiwan. However, your mother is almost eighty years old and it would be difficult for her to endure the hardships of the journey."
我想,当时樊月一定不在舅舅身边,因为舅舅为了让我高兴,还唱起了《卷席筒》,在北京家里时,他一高兴,就把录像带推进录像机里,用河南话说上一声:看看《卷席筒》!
I thought at that moment Fan Yue must not have been by my uncle's side because, to make me happy, he even started singing "Juǎn Xí Tǒng" (a popular song). When he was at home in Beijing, whenever he felt joyful, he would put a videotape into the VCR and exclaim in his Henan dialect, "Let's watch 'Juǎn Xí Tǒng'!"
舅舅放下电话的时候,心情一定是沉重的,因为第二天,远在澳洲的大姐就给我打来了电话。舅舅要大姐转告我,他已经与樊月结婚,因无法向我启齿,没敢在电话里告诉我。
When my uncle hung up the phone, he must have been feeling heavy-hearted because the next day, my eldest sister, who was far away in Australia, called me. Uncle wanted my sister to tell me that he had already married Fan Yue. He couldn't bring himself to tell me over the phone.
后来,从台湾人嘴里,从大姐到台湾户证所查阅的户籍资料里,我知道了事情
的大致面貌:
Later, from the mouths of Taiwanese people and the household registration information searched by my eldest sister at the Taiwanese household registration office, I learned the general outline of the situation:
樊月,山东某市郊区女工,相貌姣好,在大陆死了丈夫后,嫁给台湾老兵;老兵死后,她在限期离台的最后日子里,ー举迁进舅舅住处,展开女人的全面攻势,要求嫁给舅舅;当舅舅处于癌症化疗阶段时,她不顾医生再三阻拦,坚持偕舅舅从台湾飞到香港,后经罗湖口岸到广州,再去往山东。
Fan Yue, a female worker from the outskirts of a city in Shandong Province, was a beautiful woman. After her husband died in Chinese mainland, she married an old Taiwanese veteran. After the veteran passed away, in the final days before the deadline for her to leave Taiwan, she forcibly moved into my uncle's residence and launched a full-scale emotional assault as a woman, demanding to marry my uncle. During the period when my uncle was undergoing chemotherapy, despite the doctors' repeated objections, she insisted on accompanying my uncle from Taiwan to Hong Kong, then crossing the Luohu Port to Guangzhou and finally heading to Shandong.
1999年1月15日,在北方严寒彻骨的季节里,在她老家与舅舅完成婚姻登记手续,并举办婚礼,大碗喝酒吃肉,之后オ放舅舅独自返回台湾。按照台湾规定,新婚妻子要在大陆等待,直到批准方可入台。
On January 15, 1999, in the bone-chilling cold of the northern season, in her hometown, she completed the marriage registration and held a wedding ceremony with my uncle. They drank heavily and ate meat from large bowls. Afterward, my uncle could be allowed to return to Taiwan alone. According to Taiwanese regulations, the newlywed wife had to wait in Chinese mainland until approval was granted for her to enter Taiwan.
就是那次的寒冷与酒宴,整个摧毁了舅舅正在恢复的身体机能,全面激活了经过化疗本已被抑制的癌细胞。那一次山东之行,樊月稳稳地把持局面,不准舅舅赴京,不准通知北京任何亲人,不准北京亲人参加婚礼,甚至不准舅舅触摸电话机。
It was the cold trip and the feast that completely destroyed my uncle's recovering physical functions, fully activating the cancer cells that had been suppressed by chemotherapy. During that trip to Shandong, Fan Yue firmly took control of the situation. She didn't allow my uncle to go to Beijing, inform any relatives in Beijing, or let Beijing relatives attend the wedding. She even prohibited my uncle from touching the telephone.
舅舅到底是舅舅,他固守了自己行为的最后防线。他坚持将自己终生所有钱款,分成几个存折,除樊月外,留给我母亲的存款是!00万台币,并将分配结果告知常小姐和几个战友。
But my uncle was still my uncle. He held on to the last defense line of his own actions. He insisted on dividing all his money into several bank books. Apart from Fan Yue, he left a deposit of 1 million Taiwanese dollars for my mother. He informed Miss Chang and several comrades about the distribution results.
这就是舅舅最后告诉我的都“分配好了”。当然,善良的舅舅不会想到,他留给我们的存款,一旦通过樊月之手,就根本到不了我们手里。樊月凭借着信誓旦旦的“转交”保证,到底将几个存折都拢在了自己手里。
That's what my uncle told me last, that "everything has been distributed." Of course, kind-hearted as he was, my uncle couldn't have imagined that once the money passed through Fan Yue's hands, it would never reach us. Fan Yue, with her solemn promise of "handing it over," had ultimately kept all the bank books in her possession.
最善良者也许是最不幸者。不设防的舅舅,良心安歇了。他没有想到欺骗,特别是来自枕边女人的欺骗。
The kindest person is perhaps the most unfortunate. My uncle, who didn't have any defenses, had his conscience at rest. He didn't anticipate deception, especially deception from the woman lying next to him.
1999年5月1日,我给舅舅住宅打电话,没人接听。
On May 1, 1999, I called my uncle's residence, but no one answered.
我顿感不祥,急拨给舅舅工厂的常小姐。常大叫:“你舅舅过世了,4月30 日!”我心一沉,紧问:“舅舅过世时你在身边吗? ”常答:“没有,他过世后我只看望了一次,医院就不许我去了!”停了停,她补充道,“洪州先生给你母亲留了 100 万！”
我放下电话,放声大哭！
I felt a sense of foreboding and urgently called Miss Chang from my uncle's factory. She shouted, "Your uncle passed away on April 30th!" My heart sank, and asked anxiously, "Were you with him when he passed away?" Chang replied, "No, after he passed away, I only visited him once, and then the hospital didn't allow me to go anymore!" After a pause, she added, "Mr. Hongzhou left 1 million for your mother!"I hung up the phone and burst into tears!
哭后,我不能相信,要自己证实。现在我的电话本上一片红色笔迹,就是那时抓起一支正在阅卷打分的红笔书写的。
After crying, I couldn't believe it. I had to confirm it myself. Now my phone book is filled with red ink, written with a red pen I grabbed while grading exam papers.
我打给台湾荣民总医院:“我是北京,请转接太平间！”
I called the Taipei Veterans General Hospital and said, "I'm from Beijing, please transfer me to the mortuary!"
我对太平间说:“我是北京,请查ー下是否有位叫洪洲的先生死于4月30日?” 那边有了回复:“是的,一位叫洪洲的先生死于4月30日早晨。”
I asked the mortuary, "I'm from Beijing, please check if there was a Mr. Hongzhou who died on April 30th?" They replied, "Yes, a Mr. Hongzhou passed away on the morning of April 30th."
我的眼泪再度涌流。
Tears streamed down my face again.
我又给泌尿科打电话:“我是北京,请查ー下,洪洲先生是不是死于直肠癌?”
I called the urology department and said, "I'm from Beijing, please check if Mr. Hongzhou died of rectal cancer?"
回复:“不,不是。”
The reply came, "No, he didn't."
我再给心血管科打电话:“我是北京,请查ー下,洪洲先生是不是死于心梗?”
I called the cardiology department and said, "I'm from Beijing, please check if Mr. Hongzhou died of a heart attack?"
回复:“请找病房,洪洲先生住A191病房23床。”
The reply came, "Please contact the ward. Mr. Hongzhou was in Ward A191, Bed 23."
我打给病房:“我是北京,我是病人家属。请找合作病房主任,我想查询A191 房23床病人洪洲的死亡原因。“
I called the ward and said, "I'm from Beijing, I'm a family member of the patient. Please find the head of the cooperating ward. I want to inquire about the cause of death of Mr. Hongzhou in Room A191, Bed 23."
回复:“病人死于心力衰竭与直肠癌并发症。”
The reply came, "The patient died of heart failure and complications from rectal cancer."
据知,舅舅临终前痛苦万分,他始终记得樊月要给他养老送终的承诺,因此他的叨念一遍比一遍凄凉:樊月怎么还不来?
It is known that my uncle suffered immense pain before his death. He always remembered Fan Yue's promise to take care of him in his old age, so his lamentations became more and more desolate: Why hasn't Fan Yue come yet?
据负责老兵事宜的台湾退伍会皇辅导员介绍,舅舅最后的历程应该是:
According to the counselor Huang from the Taiwanese Veterans Association in charge of veterans' affairs, my uncle's final journey should be as follows:
1999年1月20日,舅舅自山东独自返回台湾。
On January 20, 1999, my uncle returned to Taiwan alone from Shandong.
1999年4月15日,舅舅因直肠癌复发,住进台湾荣民总医院。此时直肠癌已达四期,医生只好切除部分直肠,做了人工肛门,外接粪袋。
On April 15, 1999, my uncle was admitted to the Taipei Veterans General Hospital due to a recurrence of rectal cancer. By this time, the cancer had reached stage four, and the doctors had to remove a part of the rectum and create an artificial anus with an external fecal bag.
1999年4月30日凌晨,舅舅心力衰竭,肌体全面崩溃。临终前他不再讲任何话。
In the early morning of April 30, 1999, my uncle suffered heart failure, and his body completely collapsed. He no longer spoke before his death.
1999年4月30日,台湾退伍会迅速封闭舅舅的新庄住宅,查看票据,发现舅舅存折里仅剩2万元台币。所有大额存款,于1999年1月初樊月返山东前被悉数取出。退伍会还惊讶地发现,新庄住宅已经过户给上面提到的女工常小姐!
On April 30, 1999, the Taiwanese Veterans Association quickly sealed my uncle's residence in Xinzhuang and checked the bills. They found that there were only 20,000 Taiwanese dollars left in his bank books. All the large deposits had been withdrawn before Fan Yue returned to Shandong in early January 1999. The association was also surprised to discover that the ownership of the Xinzhuang residence had been transferred to the female worker mentioned earlier, Miss Chang!
皇辅导员在电话里对我说:我们为房产事研究过,如果新庄住宅是最近过户的,我们会保护洪洲先生的利益,以洪洲病重神志不清为由,退伍会向有关方面申请过户无效,可是ー查底档,发现新庄住宅已经在2年前就过户给了常小姐!
The counselor from the Veterans Association said to me over the phone, "We have researched the property matter. If the transfer of ownership of the Xinzhuang residence is recent, we will protect Mr. Hongzhou's interests. We can apply to invalidate the transfer on the grounds that Mr. Hongzhou was seriously ill and mentally unstable. However, upon checking the records, we found that the Xinzhuang residence had already been transferred to Miss Chang two years ago!"
明白了。樊月在2年前,她上一位丈夫还在世时,就为征服舅舅做努力了,这一点在她后来与我通电话时得到了证明。据知,常小姐在发现樊月的攻势后,捷足先登,竟然软磨硬泡地以极少的台币购得了新庄住宅的产权,不过允许舅舅长期居住在这套新宅。我与皇辅导员同样不理解,舅舅为什么能够突破自我保护的底线, 将正居住着的房产转让给常小姐呢?常小姐怎样说动了舅舅?与舅舅有着怎样的约定?这个谜底,在活着的人中,恐怕只有常小姐自己清楚。
I understand now. Fan Yue made efforts to conquer my uncle even when her previous husband was still alive, as I later confirmed in a phone call with her. It is known that after Miss Chang discovered Fan Yue's intentions, she acted swiftly and managed to acquire the ownership of the Xinzhuang residence for a minimal amount of money. However, she allowed my uncle to continue living in the house. Counselor Huang and I couldn't comprehend why my uncle would surpass his self-protective boundaries and transfer the property to Miss Chang. How did she persuade my uncle? What kind of agreement did they have? Only Miss Chang herself knows the answer to this puzzle.
退伍会放弃了对新庄住宅产权的查证,立即赶赴银行验看账目,发现舅舅账目上,除了上面说到的2万元台币外,还有利息10万元台币未及动用。哦,舅舅到底为自己留存了一笔可能被樊月忽略的利息款!
The Veterans Association gave up on verifying the ownership of the Xinzhuang residence and immediately went to the bank to inspect the accounts. They discovered that besides the mentioned 20,000 Taiwanese dollars, there was an additional 100,000 Taiwanese dollars in interest that my uncle had not utilized. Ah, my uncle had left himself a sum of interest that Fan Yue might have overlooked!
皇辅导员说:“正是洪洲先生这两笔钱加上当月退休金,退伍会才能给舅舅办ー个比较体面的葬礼。”
Counselor Huang said, "It is precisely because of these two amounts, combined with the monthly pension, that the Veterans Association can arrange a relatively decent funeral for your uncle."
1999年5月5日,身着ー袭黑色衣裤的樊月抵达台湾。
On May 5, 1999, Fan Yue arrived in Taiwan, dressed in black attire.
1999年5月12日,樊月以遗孀名义参加了我舅舅的追思会。面对来自台湾四面八方的老兵,披着黑纱的樊月不停跪拜,不停鞠躬,也不停地收取着礼金。她漂亮的脸上流着汗,神色倦怠,人们都说她可怜。
On May 12, 1999, Fan Yue attended my uncle's memorial service in the name of his widow. Facing veterans from all over Taiwan, Fan Yue, draped in a black veil, continuously knelt, bowed, and accepted monetary gifts. Sweat streamed down her beautiful face, and she appeared fatigued. People pitied her.
追思会很隆重,几十位战友前来告别,花篮花环连成一片。我姑姑姑父代表我们全家参加追思会,也送给了樊月ー笔不薄的礼金。
The memorial service was grand, with dozens of comrades bidding farewell, and flower baskets and garlands forming a sea of flowers. My aunt and uncle attended the memorial service on behalf of our entire family and also presented Fan Yue with a generous amount of money.
舅舅被安葬于台北县荣民墓地,樊月没有接受骨灰,委托退伍会代为保管。
My uncle was laid to rest at the Taipei County Veterans Cemetery, and Fan Yue did not accept his ashes. Instead, she entrusted the Veterans Association to take care of them.
2006年,我们为姥爷、姥姥和舅舅在北京建了墓,这是ー块很大的多穴墓地。我们希望,舅舅永远结束颠沛流离的日子,不再遭遇童年的绑架、青年的抓壮丁、壮年的妻离子散,不再受到贪财人的算计,不再孤独厮守。他的生命将得以轮回,就像小时候那样,又安睡在我姥爷、姥姥身边。
In 2006, we built a large multi-grave cemetery in Beijing for my grandfather, grandmother, and uncle. We hoped that my uncle would forever put an end to his tumultuous life, no longer experiencing the kidnappings of his childhood, the conscription of his youth, the separation from his family in his prime years, and no longer being manipulated by greedy individuals. He would no longer be lonely and would find solace. His life would come full circle, just like when he peacefully slept by the side of my grandparents in his childhood.
现在,我的首饰盒里躺着ー块碧绿鲜亮的缅甸A翠,也许有一天,我们能把舅舅的骨灰迎回来,那时,我就可以把这块绿翠送给舅舅了。
Now, lying in my jewelry box, is a vivid and bright green Burmese jadeite. Perhaps one day, we can bring back my uncle's ashes, and at that time, I can present this green jadeite to him.
舅舅,中国的一位普通人。没有人知道他出生于何省何县,没有人知道他生身父母的姓名、籍贯; 他在河南人看来是台湾人,他在台湾人看来是大陆人,他在北京警方被认为是台湾同胞,他在河南众亲友以及台湾柳太太、常小姐眼里是拥有财富的单身男人,他在妻子樊月眼里是个能够带来户籍与金钱的台湾丈夫。
My uncle, an ordinary person in China. No one knows which province and county he was born in or the names or hometowns of his biological parents. To the people in Henan, he was considered Taiwanese; to the people in Taiwan, he was seen as a mainlander ; to the Beijing police, he was regarded as a compatriot from Taiwan; to his relatives and friends in Henan and to Mrs. Liu and Miss Chang in Taiwan, he was a financially well-off single man. To his wife, Fan Yue, he was a Taiwanese husband who could bring her household registration and money.
这关乎ー个哲学命题一他是谁?从哪里来?
This raises a philosophical question: Who is he? Where does he come from?
舅舅以长达68年的时间,不懈地寻找自己的家。这是灵魂对自己生命源头的膜拜,是生命对精神初始地的回归。不论这ー辈子有无荣华富贵,有无官位俸禄, 有无困顿屈辱,甚至有无肉体的生命形态,都不打紧,那种膜拜与回归正是中国化的人生归宿,它将无可阻挡地奔向安身立命之所,就仿佛是在完成前生的约定。
For 68 years, my uncle tirelessly searched for his own home. It was the homage of his soul to the origin of his life, the return of his spirit to its initial place. Regardless of whether he had wealth, official positions, or prestige in this lifetime, or whether he experienced hardships, humiliations, or even changes in his physical form, it doesn't matter. That homage and return are the true destination of a Chinese-style life. They will inevitably strive towards finding a place to settle down, as if fulfilling a predestined agreement from a previous life.
可是,当那终生约定不复存在的时刻,当那遥远的家园轰然坍塌的时刻,舅舅应该对谁膜拜?朝哪里回归?
However, when that lifelong agreement no longer exists, when that distant homeland collapses, who should my uncle pay homage to? Where should he return to?
现在,围绕舅舅涌动过的ー层涟漪已经复归平静。可是,还有多少像舅舅ー样归心似箭的台湾老兵找不到回家的路?还有多少像樊月那样在法律许可范围内以结婚名义堵截老兵返乡的人?还有怎样厚重的国民劣根元素,那些与他沾亲或不沾亲的乡友故人,打压着与舅舅ー样的老兵?
Now, the ripples that once surrounded my uncle have returned to calm. But how many Taiwan veterans, who are eager to return home, are still unable to find their way? How many people, like Fan Yue, legally use marriage as a means to block veterans from returning to their hometowns? How bad are the elements of national inferiority that oppress veterans like my uncle, whether they have connections with him or not?
历史的书记官,从不记录小人物徒劳的牺牲。可是,我的舅,天底下有着与我舅相同命运的或生或死的舅舅们啊,你们是否打算宽恕这个民族对你们牺牲的遗忘?
哦,宽恕会留下无奈和辛酸;可不宽恕,你们、我们、大家,这个民族,还应该做些什么呢?
The scribe of history never records the futile sacrifices of ordinary people. But my uncle, and all the uncles out there who share the same fate, whether living or deceased, will you forgive this nation's forgetting of the sacrifices you made?

Oh, forgiveness will leave behind helplessness and bitterness. But if we don't forgive, what else should you, us, everyone, and this nation do?

4 million cardiovascular patients to be saved
高官厚禄拴不住的心灵
A soul that cannot be restrained by high position and wealth.
张雅文
Zhang Yawen
亲爱的读者,在我上手术台之前,我要把我所釆访、所亲历的一切告诉你们,希望中国几百万像我一样徘徊于生命边缘的心脏病同胞能认识他-----著名心外科专家刘晓程。
愿上帝赐我神来之笔,否则我将有愧于我的主人公,有愧于千千万万亟待拯救的生命,也有愧于我这颗生死未卜的心。
—作者题记
Dear readers,
Before I go into surgery, I want to share with you all that I have interviewed and experienced, in the hope that millions of Chinese people like me, who are on the brink of death, struggling with heart disease, can get to know him - the renowned cardiothoracic surgery expert, Liu Xiaocheng.
May God grant me the gift of God, otherwise I will feel sorry for my protagonist, and for the millions of lives that urgently need to be saved, and for my own heart that is in great danger.
Author's Preface

序 Preface
读者朋友,当你看到这份来自国务院的数据报告,一定会感到振聋发曠,触目惊心。
“心血管病是人类健康和生命的主要杀手之一。我国现有400多万心血管病人等待手术,而全国每年仅能完成4万多例。泰达国际心血管病医院的建成,将为改善我国心血管的治疗做出贡献,给广大心血管病患者带来福音。”（摘自吴仪发给泰达国际心血管病医院开业典礼的贺词）
My dear readers, when you read this report from the State Council, you will surely feel shocked and dismayed.
"Cardiovascular disease is one of the major killers of health and life. Currently,there are more than 4 million cardiovascular patients waiting for surgery in China, and only 40,000 operations can be performed each year nationwide. The completion of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) will contribute to the improvement of cardiovascular treatment in China and bring good news to the majority of cardiovascular patients." (From Wu Yifa's congratulatory message to the opening ceremony of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH).
另据报道:中国每天有1万多人死于心脑血管、癌症等疾病。北京平均每小时就有一人死于心血管疾病。

It is also reported that more than 10,000 people in China die from cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases, cancer and other diseases every day. On average, one person dies of cardiovascular disease every hour in Beijing.
中国现有400多万需要手术的心脏病人,但得到手术的比例仅为1% ,剩下那几百万心脏病患者将揣着“破碎”的心,日夜盼望着白衣天使能拯救他们的生命。但是,或因昂贵的医疗费用,或因排不上号住不上院,或因庸医的误诊,多少病人苦苦等了三年五年,甚至十年八年,从而错过了最佳治疗时间,过早地结束了本该延续几十年的生命。而排不上号住不上院、交不起医疗费的,多是那些没职没权没钱没关系的普通百姓,尤其苦了那些贫苦农民和下岗职工。
There are more than 4 million heart disease patients in China who need surgery, but only 1% of them got operated, leaving millions of heart disease patients with "broken" hearts, hoping day and night for doctors to save their lives. However, due to the high cost of medical treatment, inability to get hospitalized, or misdiagnosis by incompetent doctors, many patients have suffered for three or five years, or even eight to ten years, thus missing the best time for treatment and ending their lives prematurely. And those who are unable to get hospitalized or can’t afford afford medical bills are mostly ordinary people with no job, no power and no money, especially the poor farmers and laid-off workers who are particularly struggling.
这种严重的供需失衡现象,深深地触动了一位医生的良知,他因此而做出的ー次次惊人之举,像地震一般震撼着中外医疗界,震撼着千百万亟待拯救的生命,也震撼着中国亟待改革的医疗体制一
The severe imbalance between supply and demand deeply touched the conscience of a doctor, and as a result, his grand gestures have shocked the domestic and foreign medical community and the millions of lives that urgently need saving, and also shaken China's healthcare system to be reformed .
面对ー个个乞求的生命,他不知该把这张生死牌发给谁
贝多芬说:“我要扼住命运的咽喉,它绝不能使我完全屈服!噢,能把生命活上千百次该有多美!”
生命是美好的,但它属于人只有一次,任何人都扼不住命运的咽喉。
In the face of countless patients begging him to save their lives, he got lost. He don’t want to give up on any patient but he can’t save them all.
Beethoven once said: "I will take fate by the throat; it shall not wholly overcome me. Oh, it is so beautiful to live — to live a thousand times!"
Life is beautiful, but it belongs to a person only once, and no one can take fate by the throat.

1987年5月,春天带着不可抗拒的活力,从遥远的天际涌来,冲破坚硬的寒冷, 把鲜活的生命撒向枯黄的世界。饱尝了严冬的寒冷与沙尘的北京人,踏着春色,漫步在华灯初放的长安街上,欣赏着绚丽多姿的夜景,享受着春天的馈赠。但在全国唯ーー家心血管病专科医院一北京阜外医院ー间门诊室里,却上演着司空见惯而又令人痛心的一幕。一位中等身材、精明干练、两眼蓄满善良与睿智的中年医生,被一群走投无路的心脏病患者及家属团团围住,一直下不了班。他就是两年前从澳大利亚留学归来、38岁的主治医师刘晓程。
In May 1987, spring came with irresistible vitality from the distant horizon, breaking through the hard cold and bringing vivid life into the dead yellow land. After experiencing the cold of the severe winter and sandstorms in Beijing, people went out and strolled along Chang'an Avenue in the springtime to admire the beautiful and colorful night scene, and enjoy the gifts from spring. However, in the outpatient clinic of the only specialized cardiovascular hospital in China, Fuwai Hospital, a common yet heartbreaking scene is unfolding. A middle-aged doctor of average build, astute and capable, with eyes full of kindness and wisdom, is surrounded by a group of desperate heart disease patients and their family members, unable to leave work. He is Dr. Liu Xiaocheng, a 38-year-old attending physician who just returned two years ago after finishing his overseas study in Australia.

“刘大夫,听说你是佳木斯人,俺是鹤岗煤矿的,咱们是老乡呢。”ー个又黑又瘦的下井汉子怀抱3岁的孩子,操着山东口音,跟刘晓程一个劲儿地套着近乎,“刘大夫,求你看在老乡的面上救救俺老婆,俺们再也等不起了。她都快不行了！刘大夫……”汉子说不下去了,低头呜咽起来。他身边瘦弱的女人用胳膊肘碰碰他,嗫嚅道:“要不俺不治了,俺回家。”却遭到汉子的一声呵斥:“你不治就得死！你死了俺的两个娃咋办?呜呜……”下井汉子挖煤塌方被砸断一条腿都不曾掉过泪,现在却被老婆的病急得放声大哭。他ー哭,女人和孩子也跟着哭起来。
"Dr. Liu, I heard you're from Jiamusi. I'm from the Hegang . We're fellow townspeople," said a thin, dark-skinned man holding his 3-year-old child and speaking in a Shandong accent, as he was buttering up Liu Xiaocheng, "Dr. Liu, please save my wife given that we’re from the same town. We can't wait any longer. She's dying ! Dr. Liu, please..." The man suddenly stopped and lowered his head, crying. Beside him, his frail wife nudged him with her elbow and said in a weak voice, "Why not we just giving up treating and go home?" But she was met with a rebuke from the man, "If you die, what will happen to our two children? " The coal miner had never shed a tear even when his leg was broken in a coal mining accident, but now he cried out loud because of his wife’s illness. As he cried, his wife and child also began to cry.

刘晓程刚想安慰那汉子几句,却被ー个穿着破旧、满脸沧桑的中年农民打断了。
“刘大夫,俺把房子都卖了,还借了一万多元钱。俺爷儿俩从黑龙江跑北京两趟了,这次再手术不上,俺们全家就活不下去了！求你看在家乡人的面上救救俺儿子吧,他オ14岁。俺爷儿俩给你下跪了！”
Liu Xiaocheng had just wanted to comfort the man, but was interrupted by a middle-aged farmer in shabby clothes and with a weathered face "Doctor Liu, I've sold my house and borrowed over ten thousand yuan. We have traveled to Beijing twice from Heilongjiang. If my son don't have the surgery this time, our whole family weren’t going to live ! Please, for the sake of our hometown, save my 14-year-old son. My son and I fall on our knees to beg you!"
“别别！千万别……”刘晓程急忙上前制止,但晚了,一老ー小“扑通”一声跪在了他面前。
瘦得像铅笔杆似的少年瞪着满含泪水的大眼睛,可怜兮兮地望着刘晓程。父亲却发出ー阵令人心碎的哭号:“刘大夫,求你救救俺儿子吧！救救俺全家吧！呜呜……"
"No,no! Please don't..." Liu Xiaocheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but it was too late. The farmer and his son fell on their knees in front of him. The skinny teenager, stared at Liu Xiaocheng with tearful eyes, looking pitiful. The wails of the father was heartbreaking, "Dr. Liu, please save my son! Save my whole family! Please..."

望着这对父子,望着这ー张张求生的面孔,刘晓程的眼睛湿润了,ー种深深的疚痛与同情,紧紧地攫住了他那颗虽然每天被病人揉搓却依然慈悲的心。他知道, 这些普通老百姓本来就很穷,偏偏又患上这样那样的心脏病。
As Liu Xiaocheng looked at the father and son, and the desperate expressions on the patients, his eyes became moist with a deep sense of guilt and sympathy. He tightly grasped his still compassionate heart, which was rubbed and massaged by patients every day. He knew that these ordinary people were already very poor, and yet they were afflicted with various heart diseases.
他们卖房卖地拖儿带女,千里迢迢地跑到北京,整夜整夜地排队挂号,把全部希望寄托在医生身上,但他却令他们大失所望。他们苦苦地哀求他,给他下跪,不为别的,只为ー张小小的八院单张求生的“通行证”。
They sold their house and land and brought their children to Beijing, queuing up all night long for a doctor's appointment and placing all their hopes on the doctors. However, he disappointed them greatly. They begged him desperately, even kneeling before him, not for anything else, but for a small permit for their son, Zhang Xiaoxiao, to receive medical treatment.

他何尝不想大笔ー挥,给每人开ー张入院单, 让他们痛痛快快地接受手术,痛痛快快地活下去?可他每天只能开ー张入院单,一个月只有30张的权力。一下午就要接待五六十个患者,许多病人都需要手术,他真不知该把这张“生死牌”发给谁。30多年的坎坷生涯从没有难倒过他,可是面对一群向他哭诉的家乡父老,他却难过得不止一次地掉下泪来。他觉得自己有愧于做一名医生。
He also wished to help all the patients get hospitalized and operated so that they can live longer. However, in fact he can only get one patient hospitalized each day and and thirty per month. For just one afternoon, he has to receive fifty or sixty patients, and many of them need surgery. He doesn't know to whom he should give this "life and death card". All those hardships throughout his 30-year medical career has not beaten him, but facing a group of folks from his hometown crying before him, he has shed tears more than once. He felt he didn’t deserve to be a doctor.
这时,药剂科的丁飞主任手拿ー包方便面走进来,进门就嗔怪他:“刘大夫,都10点钟了,快吃点方便面吧!你天天这么折腾,早晚会被折腾死的!”丁主任看到刘晓程天天被患者“糊”得可怜,心疼得几次落下泪来。
At this moment, Ding Fei,the Director of the Pharmacy Department walked in with a pack of instant noodles in hand and said "Doctor Liu, it's already 10 o'clock. Eat some instant noodles to fill your stomach! You're always working so hard every day. You'll be worked to death sooner or later!" Director Ding saw how Liu Xiaocheng was constantly being overwhelmed by patients, and felt so sorry for him that he cried several times.
可是,面对一群看病比登天都难的父老乡亲,面对ー个个本应该尽快手术的心脏病人,刘晓程却无论如何也不忍心离开。令他终生难忘的是那位27岁的姑娘。此刻,她就像死人似的,瞪着一双美丽而无神的大眼睛,凄婉地望着他。
However, facing a group of fellow villagers who had difficulty seeing a doctor , and numerous heart disease patients who should have received surgery as soon as possible, Liu Xiaocheng couldn't bear to leave. Among them, there was a 27-year-old girl who he would never forget . She looked like a dead person, staring at Liu mournfully with a pair of beautiful but dull eyes.
“你为什么不早点来?”刘晓程问她。
"Why didn't you come here earlier?" Liu Xiaocheng asked her.
姑娘的眼泪卿地掉下来了,忙从衣兜里哆哆嗦嗦掏出ー张已经发黄的入院通知单,双手像捧着命根子似的,小心翼翼地捧到刘晓程面前,啜泣道:“我8年前就来了,开了入院单没有床位,大夫让我回家等通知,可我等了 8年也没等到通知,实在等不了啦!”
The girl's tears fell uncontrollably, and she hurriedly took out a yellowing hospitalization admission slip from her pocket, holding it in her trembling hands as if clinging to her lifeline. She carefully handed it to Liu Xiaocheng, sobbing: "I came here 8 years ago, but there were no beds available after I got the hospitalization admission slip. The doctor asked me to wait for further notice at home. But 8 years passed, I still didn't receive any notification. I couldn't wait any longer!"
刘晓程的脑袋“轰”的一声,忙接过那张已经被8年时光磨损出几处破洞起了毛边的入院单,看到上面赫然写着“1979年4月23日”,心里不由得发出ー阵惊愤的慨叹:可悲呀! 8年,一个心脏病患者手拿入院单却没有等来住院通知! 一个严重的先天性心脏病患者怎么能等得了8年?人的一生又有几个大好的8年? 8年, ー个花样的少女变成了27岁的大姑娘,而ー颗破碎的心却因漫长的8年而失去了治疗机会。
Stunned, Liu hurriedly took the worn and frayed admission slip, the date of which read "April 23, 1979". Seeing this, he couldn't help but let out a sad but indignant sigh: how pitiful! How could a heart disease patient with a hospitalization admission slip still couldn’t get hospitalized even after 8 years of waiting ? How could a severe congenital heart disease patient wait for eight years? How many eight years does a person have in their life? In eight years, a beautiful young girl turned into a 27-year-old woman, but her broken heart lost the chance for treatment due to the long wait.

现在,她的心脏已经无法接受手术了,等待她的只能是死亡。可她完全可以不死,完全可以活好多年,完全可以结婚生子,过正常人的生活,可这一切,就因为8年的耽搁而变得永远不可能了。
Now, her heart cannot undergo surgery anymore, and the only thing awaited her is death. But she could have lived , could have had many more years, could have married and had children, and lived a normal life as an average person. However, all of this has become forever impossible because of the eight years of waiting.
这位来自黑龙江农村的姑娘并不知道刘晓程的内心,而是可怜巴巴地乞求道: “求求您刘大夫,让我住院手术吧,我实在等不了啦。我不想死,我オ27岁,我已经
等了 8年啦!”
The girl from rural Heilongjiang didn't know Liu Xiaocheng's inner thoughts. She begged pitifully, "Please Dr. Liu, let me be hospitalized for surgery, I can't wait any longer. I don't want to die, I'm only 27 years old, and I've already waited for 8 years!"
面对这双对生命充满渴求的眼睛,面对足足等了8年却不得不提前告别人生的家乡姐妹,刘晓程无论如何也不忍心告诉她实情。他怎么能告诉她:“你不能手术了,你只能回家等死了。”他怎么能说出这种没有人味的绝情话?
Her eyes was filled with a strong desire for life. She had spent 8 years waiting for treatment but had to say goodbye to life ahead of time. Liu Xiaocheng couldn't bear to tell her the truth whatever. How could he tell her, "You can't have surgery, you can only go home and wait for death." He couldn’t say such heartless and inhumane words.
他想:如果这些病人是我的兄弟姐妹,是我的亲生父母,看着他们得的并非不治之症,只是因为住不上院而ー拖再拖,最后不得不提前告别人世,我该是怎样一番心境?该是何等痛苦?
He thought: If these patients were my siblings, my biological parents, they suffered from curable illnesses but couldn’t get hospitalized, and eventually have to say goodbye to this world prematurely due to years of waiting. what kind of emotions would I have? How painful would it be?
他心里忽然发出ー阵悲愤的质疑:为什么天远地远初次来就诊的病人就已经是手术禁忌证了?为什么还是手术适应证的病人又要争那张维系生命的小纸片?为什么得到了这张纸片的人还要继续等下去,甚至一直等到死?我这个医生再出这种门诊,再发这种毫无价值的纸片,还有什么意义?我到底是救死扶伤的医生,还是误人性命的“罪魁”?我是诚实善良的大夫,还是整天用谎言安抚病人及家属的“骗子”?
Suddenly, a surge of sorrow and indignation welled up in him,
prompting him to question: why patients who come here for the first visit from far away are already considered unsuitable for surgery? Why do patients who are suitable for surgery have to fight for that little piece of paper that holds their lifeline? And why did those who got that slip had to continue waiting, even until death? What is the point of me, as a doctor, making diagnosis and giving out these worthless slip? Am I really a doctor who saves lives, or am I the culprit who endangers lives? Am I an honest and kind-hearted doctor, or a fraud who constantly placates patients and their families with lies?
宁可再被毁灭一次,也要学习!
I would rather be destroyed again than to stop learning!
刘晓程出生于黑龙江省佳木斯市。父母都是1945年参加革命的医务工作者。母亲是妇产科医生,父亲是佳木斯医学院著名的外科主任刘沛。刘晓程是姊妹五个中唯一的男孩儿。
Liu Xiaocheng was born in Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province. Both his parents were medical workers who participated in the revolution in 1945. His mother was an obstetrician and his father was Liu Pei, a famous chief of surgery of the Jiamusi Medical College(the precursor of the department of medicine of Jiamusi University) . Among his five siblings, Liu Xiaocheng was the only boy.
1968年,刘晓程下乡到宝清县生产建设兵团。艰苦、压抑的“知青”生活,过分的体力透支,使他得了肺结核,每天咳嗽,低烧不止。下乡的第四个年头,他提前返城了。
In 1968, Liu Xiaocheng was sent to Baqing County Production and Construction Corps as the sent-down, or "educated" youth (also known as the zhiqing). The life there was hard and oppressive. Overworked and exhausted, he suffered from tuberculosis, coughing and having a low-grade fever every day. In the fourth year of his time there, he returned to the city ahead of schedule.
不久,被打成“反动学术权威”的父亲落实政策,刘晓程获得了一个工作指标, 面临当工人和实验员的选择,犹豫再三,他走进了令人谈虎色变的“臭老九”行列, 成为佳木斯医学院生理教研室一名实验员。并非子承父业,他不想当医生,他也不喜欢整天跟生理不健全的人打交道。他从小最崇拜爱因斯坦和爱迪生。但正像马克思所说:当年轻人选择职业时,社会早已经为他决定好了。
Soon after, his father, who was labeled as“the reactionary (bourgeois) academic authority” had policies implemented against him. Liu Xiaocheng was offered a job, facing a choice between becoming a worker or a laboratory assistant. After much hesitation, he chose to be a laboratory assistant in the Physiology Department of Jiamusi Medical College, entering this unpopular career. Despite both both his parents were medical professionals, he did not want to become a doctor, nor did he like dealing with people who were physically ill. From an early age, he admired Einstein and Edison most. But, as Marx said, “But we cannot always attain the position to which we believe we are called; our relations in society have to some extent already begun to be established before we are in a position to determine them.”

实验员,就是洗刷各种试管和器皿,把兔子、青蛙、老鼠准备好,供大学生实验时使用。但工作之余可以旁听老师的讲课,这是刘晓程选择当实验员的真正原因。一位在“文革”中也被打成“反动学术权威”的老医生气得骂他:“你还要念书?吃ー百个豆还不知豆腥气?”
The work of a so-called a laboratory assistant was to washed various test tubes and vessels, prepared rabbits, frogs, and mice for students to use in experiments. But, in spare time, he was allowed to attend lectures given by professors, which was the real reason why Liu Xiaocheng chose to be a laboratory assistant. A senior doctor who was also labeled as“the reactionary (bourgeois) academic authority” during the Cultural Revolution once scolded him: "You still want to study?
但对刘晓程来说,求知成了他最需要的精神食粮。他宁可因求知而再次遭到毁灭,也不愿浑浑噩噩地混下去了。他不相信中国会永远像现在这样知识无用。没有知识,ー个国家靠什么发展? 一个民族靠什么前进?
But for Liu Xiaocheng, seeking knowledge became his most necessary spiritual nourishment. He would rather be destroyed again for seeking knowledge than continue to live a meaningless life. He did not believe that China would always be a place where knowledge was useless. Without knowledge, how could a country develop? What would a nation rely on to move forward?
他ー边工作,ー边玩命地学习。初、高中学的是俄语,改学英语必须从ABC学起,晚间说梦话都叽里咕噜地背着英语单词。一年后,就是张铁生高考交白卷1973年,医学院基础研究所以满票通过,推荐他走进了哈尔滨医科大学,成为一名 24岁的“工农兵”大学生。
While working, he studied with all his might. He learned Russian in junior and senior high school, but had to start from ABC when he changed to learning English. He even muttered English words in his sleep. One year later, in 1973, the year when Zhang Tiesheng left his college entrance exam paper blank, The Institute of Basic Medical Sciences (IBMS) of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) passed unanimously to recommend Liu Xiaocheng to Harbin Medical University. Since then, Liu became a 24-year-old “Worker-Peasant-Soldier students”.
当他满怀鸿鹄之志跨进校门准备苦读时,却发现梦寐以求的大学校园,到处充斥着声嘶力竭的政治口号,以及越来越离奇的“教育革命”，偌大的校园竟然放不下ー张平静的课桌。
When he entered the university with great ambitions to study hard, he found that the university campus that he had dreamed about was filled with political slogans and increasingly bizarre "education revolutions". and he couldn’t find anywhere peaceful to study.
1979年,“十年浩劫”结束后,刘晓程决定报考研究生。当他一切准备就绪,手拿《招生简章》准备填写志愿的那天夜里,父亲突患脑血栓住进医院。紧接着,结婚不久的妻子又因妊娠中毒症,怀孕七个月的第一个孩子流产了。
In 1979, after the The Cultural Revolution ended, Liu Xiaocheng decided to apply for graduate school. Everything was prepared,however, on the night he was ready to fill out his application form. His father suddenly suffered cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) and was hospitalized. Shortly after, his newly married wife, who was seven months pregnant, suffered from gestosis and miscarried. And that was his first child.
沉重的打击接踵而至,ー边是需要呵护的亲人,ー边是大学学府强烈的呼唤, 面对人生的最后一次抉择,他ー连数天彻夜无眠。
Heavy blows came one after another. On the one hand, there were his loved ones who needed care, and on the other hand, there was the graduate school which he desired for. Faced with the last choice of his life, he stayed up all night for days...
“生老病死是人生规律,你不要管我,今年你一定要考!为了学本事干事业,你能考到伦敦、纽约オ好呢。那オ是你对父母的最大孝敬!”父亲对守候在病榻前的儿子语重心长地说。
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the laws of life. Don't worry about me. You must take the post-graduate entrance examination this year! It’s even better if you can make to London and New York for further study . That's the best present for us!" Liu’s father said to him, who was waiting by his sickbed, with a solemn tone.
“你去考吧,我们以后还会有孩子的,别惦着我。二位老人我会尽力照顾的。” 从小同窗、一向贤惠善良的妻子洪依舒也一再鼓励他。
"You should take the exam. We will have kids in the future, so don't worry about me. I will take care of your parents." His wife,Hong Yishu, repeatedly encouraged him. They had been his classmate since childhood. She was always that kind and virtuous.
刘晓程含着泪,在研究生志愿栏里一连写下三个志愿:第一志愿,北京中国医学科学院心血管病研究所阜外医院;第二志愿,阜外医院;第三志愿还是阜外医院! 阜外医院是中国心血管病研究和治疗的最高权威机构,他立志要成为一名优秀的心血管外科医生。
With tearful eyes, Liu Xiaocheng wrote down three choices\universities in the postgraduate admission\application form: The first choice was Fuwai Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS); the second and third choices were also Fuwai Hospital. Fu Wai Hospital is first-class hospital specializing in cardiovascular diseases in China for cardiovascular disease research and treatment. He aspires to become an outstanding cardiovascular surgeon.
1979年秋,30岁的刘晓程以骄人的成绩,考进了中国医学科学院心血管研究所阜外医院,成为一名心血管外科研究生。他发誓:一定要无愧于阜外医院和导师的录取,无愧于父母和妻子的支持,更无愧于自己的选择！
In the autumn of 1979, 30-year-old Liu Xiaocheng ,with outstanding results in the exam, was admitted by Fuwai Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS), a cardiovascular research institute, and became a graduate student in cardiovascular surgery. He vowed to live up to the expectations of Fuwai Hospital , his mentor, his parents, wife, and himself.
许多研究生同窗跟刘晓程一样,都经历过蹉駝岁月,都格外珍惜这来之不易的求学机会。刘晓程更是怀着强烈的求知欲,在广博的医学海洋里没日没夜地搏击, 连吃饭和睡觉都变成多余的了,只有学习オ是生命中最需要的。听英语录音,ー听就到凌晨4点;上课的路上,要背会30多个英语单词……他决心把空耗的时光夺回来。
Many of Liu Xiaocheng's fellow graduate students have also experienced difficult times and cherish their hard-won learning opportunities. Liu Xiaocheng, in particular, was driven by a strong thirst for knowledge and tirelessly immersed himself in the vast ocean of knowledge of medicine day and night, to the extent that eating and sleeping became unnecessary, with learning being the most essential part of his life. He would listen to English recordings until 4 a.m., and memorize more than 30 English words on his way to class... He was determined to reclaim the wasted time.
3年后,刘晓程以出色的成绩完成学业,并留在阜外医院工作。1984年,阜外
医院又破例提前送他去澳大利亚留学深造
Three years later, Liu Xiaocheng completed his studies with outstanding results and was offered a job at the Fuwai Hospital. In 1984, Fuwai Hospital made an exception, sending him to Australia for further education.

你是人,我也是人,凭什么不如你?
We are both human. Why should you be any better than me?
美国前总统卡特说:“我们不可能人人都像牛顿、法拉第或爱迪生那样有伟大的发现,也不可能像米开朗琪罗或拉斐尔那样有传世之作,但我们可以抓住平凡的机会并使之不平凡,进而使我们的人生变得更加壮丽。”
澳大利亚很美,碧水,蓝天,风光旖旎〇
Former US President Jimmy Carter once said, "We cannot all make great discoveries like Newton, Faraday, or Edison, nor can we create enduring masterpieces like Michelangelo or Raphael. But we can seize ordinary opportunities and make them extraordinary, thus making our lives more magnificent."
Australia is very beautiful, with blue water, blue sky, and picturesque scenery.
但是,第一次踏上澳洲的刘晓程却无暇光顾这一切,第二天就走上了手术台, 面临两台大手术,而且要给主刀医生当第一助手。
However, Liu Xiaocheng, who set foot in Australia for the first time, had no time to enjoy all of this. The next day, he went straight to the operating room. He had two major surgeries and had to serve as the first assistant to the chief surgeon.
第一次走进布里斯班市查理王子医院心血管外科手术室,一切都是陌生的,金发碧眼的医护人员,令人眼花缭乱的各种器械,几位主刀医生各自不同的操作方式,叽里哇啦一句都听不懂的俚语、方言……更糟糕的是,他就像从慢悠悠的牛车上卸下来的一枚螺丝,忽然被拧到ー台高速运转的机器上,ー上来就得适应人家那种快节奏、高效率的工作方式,丝毫不存在你是新来乍到给点时间让你适应ー说。而且主刀医生盛气凌人,开ロ就训人:“拿骨子!不不!不是剪刀,是骨子!你懂不懂英语?不懂回去学会再来!”
Entering the cardiovascular operating room of The Prince Charles Hospital（TPCH) in Brisbane for the first time, everything was unfamiliar to Liu Xiaocheng. The blonde and blue-eyed medical staff, dazzling array of medical instruments, different operating styles of the chief surgeons, slangs and dialects that he couldn't understand at all... To make things worse, he felt like a screw taken off a slow-moving cart and was suddenly twisted onto a high-speed machine. He had to adapt to their fast-paced and efficient way of working even without any time to adjust as a new arrivals. Moreover, the chief surgeon was domineering, scolding Liu , "Hand me the bone nipper! No, not scissors, bone nipper! Do you understand English? If not, go back when you have mastered it!"
嗨,那场面别提有多狼狈了,当场他就出现了“文化休克”,也就是老百姓所说的傻眼了,听不懂人家说什么,当然不知道该做什么。按照手术惯例,主刀医生给病人开完胸,建立起体外循环,助手就该从患者腿上取完大隐静脉,递给主刀医生做搭桥术了。可他没有取完静脉,主刀医生立刻嗔怪起来:“太慢了！简直太慢了！”这使刘晓程越发手忙脚乱,大汗淋漓,不知所措了。
Not to mention how embarrassing the scene was. At that moment, Liu Xiaocheng experienced a "culture shock," which is what people call being stunned. He couldn't understand what others were saying, so he didn't know what to do. According to the surgical protocol, after the lead surgeon opens the patient's chest and establishes extracorporeal circulation, the assistant should take the great saphenous vein(GSV)from the patient's leg and hand it to the lead surgeon for Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, he didn't finish taking the vein as expected , and the lead surgeon immediately scolded him, "Too slow! It's just too slow!" This made Liu Xiaocheng even more flustered, sweating profusely and feeling helpless.
主刀的奥布来恩博士是世界著名的心外科专家,刘晓程只是一名中国留学生, 遭训斥是在所难免的。可是,对于自尊心极强的刘晓程来说,却像童年唯ーー次挨父亲的皮带ー样。父亲的皮带是抽在他的屁股上,而这次却是抽在他脸上,抽在ー个中国人的自尊心上。他发誓:“我就不信你们能做到的我做不到！你是人,我也是人,我凭什么不如你?我一定要把你们的技术学到手,绝不能给中国人丢脸!”
The lead surgeon, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien, was a world-renowned cardiothoracic surgery expert , while Liu Xiaocheng was just a Chinese student studying abroad. It was inevitable that he would be scolded. However, for a proud person like Liu Xiaocheng, it was like being hit by his father with a belt when he was a child. However, his father only hit his buttocks, but this time he felt himself got hit in the face and his self-esteem as a Chinese people suffered. He swore, "I don't believe that I can't do what you can do! You're a human being.So am I. Why couldn’t I be as good as you? I must learn your techniques and I would never disgrace our Chinese people!"
下了手术台,他急忙把主刀医生的操作程序全部记录下来,把剩下的静脉搜集起来,从护士长那借来手术器械,回到宿舍苦练搭桥术,设计出各种高难度的吻合方法,边缝边做思索,边画图……几个月下来,他不仅把四位医生不同的操作方式背得滚瓜烂熟,而且对四位医生的手术方案取长补短,形成一套自己的独特手术方法。
After getting off the operating table, he hurriedly recorded all of the surgeon's procedures, collected the remaining veins, borrowed surgical instruments from the head nurse, and returned to his dormitory to practice Coronary artery bypass grafting. He had designed various high-difficulty methods of Anastomosis. He would think and draw diagrams as sewing. After several months, he not only memorized the different surgical techniques of the four doctors, but also integrated their strengths and weaknesses to form his own unique surgical method.
白天,他要给四位导师当第一助手,常常忙得连杯咖啡都顾不上喝。一台手术下来,导师去喝咖啡,他却忙着写手术记录,填卡片,下术后医嘱,看下一台手术造影片子,没等做完,下一台手术护士又在叫他:“刘医生,手术开始了!”他ー天最多跟过五台大手术,从早8点一直忙到晚9点,回到宿舍累得连眼皮都抬不起来了。
在一次主动脉瘤的手术中,患者突然大出血,奥布来恩博士竟然无端地冲刘晓程发起火来:“谁让你把着的（指血管）？”
During the day, he served as the first assistant to the four mentors, often too busy to even have a cup of coffee. After one surgery, the mentor would go for coffee, but he would be busy writing surgical records, filling out cards, giving post-operative instructions, examining the next surgery's films, and before he was done, the nurse for the next surgery would already be calling him: "Doctor Liu, the surgery has started!" He had followed at most five major surgeries in a day, working from 8 am to 9 pm, often too exhausted to even lift his eyelids when returning to the dormitory.
In one surgery for an aortic aneurysm, the patient suddenly experienced massive bleeding, and Dr. Mark F. O'Brien inexplicably began to blame Liu Xiaocheng, saying, "Who told you to hold onto the blood vessel?"
“你让我把着的!”刘晓程早已受够了导师的傲慢与训斥,破天荒地顶了他ー句,心里却愤愤地说,“你牛什么牛?不就是你们国家比我们国家富点儿吗,有什么了不起的！我们国家早晚会富起来的,早晚有超过你们的那天！你说你是虔诚的天主教徒,还说大家在上帝面前都是兄弟姐妹,其实你根本看不起我！我告诉你, 我跟你ー样是人,不是一条狗。你别张口就来训斥我！我一定要教训教训你,导师也应该学会尊重人。今后,绝不许你再侮辱我的人格!”
"You let go of me!" Liu Xiaocheng talked back. He was already fed up with his supervisor's arrogance and reprimands. He thought to himself indignantly, "What's the big deal? Isn't it just that your country is a little richer than ours? Our country will become wealthy sooner or later, and we will eventually surpass you! You say you're a devout Catholic and that we're all brothers and sisters in God's eyes, but actually you look down on me! I'm telling you, I'm just like you, a human being, not a dog. So stop scolding me ! I'm going to teach you a lesson that you, as a supervisor, should learn to respect people. From now on, you are not allowed to insult my dignity again!"
血止住了,奥布来恩主动向刘晓程搭讪,刘晓程却不理睬他。
第二天上班,奥布来恩又主动跟刘晓程打招呼,刘晓程装作没听见。
The bleeding stopped and Dr. Mark F. O'Brien took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Liu Xiaocheng, but Liu Xiaocheng ignored him. The next day at work,Dr. Mark F. O'Brien greeted Liu Xiaocheng again, but Liu Xiaocheng pretended not to hear him.
奥布来恩是个虔诚的天主教徒,在权威与人格、傲慢与尊严的较量中,他心理开始失衡了,开口向刘晓程道歉:“对不起,晓程,昨天是我的错,我向你道歉。”接着又说:“晓程,今天你来主刀,我来给你当助手!”
刘晓程不敢相信自己的耳朵,因为澳大利亚的法律严格规定,外国医生只能当助手,不能主刀手术。
“我让你做的,一切后果由我承担。”奥布来恩说。
Dr. Mark F. O'Brien was a devout Catholic, but in the struggle between authority and personality, arrogance and dignity, he began to feel guilty. He apologized to Liu Xiaocheng, saying, "I'm sorry, Xiaocheng. It was my fault yesterday, and I apologize to you." Then he added, "Xiaocheng, you come to perform the operation today, and I'll be your assistant!"
Liu Xiaocheng couldn't believe what he had just heard because Australian law strictly prohibits foreign doctors from performing operations as the lead surgeon.
"I'll take responsibility for everything you do," Dr. Mark F. O'Brien said.
于是,就在这所世界著名的澳大利亚查理王子医院手术室里,中国医生第一次走到主刀位置,第一次打破澳大利亚严格而冷酷的法律,划开了洋人的胸膛……当刘晓程以熟练的技法,稳健而准确、轻快而严密地做完心脏搭桥术,在场所有的人都惊呆了。奥布来恩绝没有想到这个多次被自己训斥的中国留学生,竟然有这样一手好功夫。
So, for the first time in the operating room of a world-famous hospital-- The Prince Charles Hospital in Australia,, a Chinese doctor took the position of the lead surgeon, breaking the stern , rigid and unrelenting Australian law, and cut open the chest of a westerner... When Liu Xiaocheng completed Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a skillful, steady, accurate but easy way, everyone present was amazed. Dr. Mark F. O'Brien never expected that this Chinese student, who had been reprimanded by him many times, had such good surgical skills.
当晚,奥布来恩请刘晓程共进晚餐。两人从此成为要好的朋友。
“晓程,你是我见过的最有骨气、最优秀的中国人。”奥布来恩向刘晓程举起酒杯,“我相信你会成为世界一流的心外科专家。”
“你也是我见过的最优秀的心外科专家,最令人敬佩的导师!”刘晓程说道。
奥布来恩虽然傲慢,却丝毫不讲师道尊严。
That night,Dr. Mark F. O'Brien invited Liu Xiaocheng to dinner. From then on, the two became close friends.
"Xiaocheng, you are the most outstanding Chinese person with great guts I’ve ever met," Aubrey raised his glass to Liu Xiaocheng. "I believe you will become a world-class cardiothoracic surgery expert."
"You are also the most excellent cardiothoracic surgery expert I have ever met, the most admirable mentor!" Liu Xiaocheng said.
Dr. Mark F. O'Brien was arrogant but not condescending.
一次,刘晓程发现奥布来恩没有切开极容易被忽略的薄内膜就要开始做血管吻合,就急忙提醒了他。奥布来恩连声道谢:“谢谢！太谢谢你了,晓程。我的疏忽险些危及患者的生命。”
Once, Liu Xiaocheng noticed that Dr. Mark F. O'Brien was about to start a vascular anastomosis without cutting the easily overlooked thin inner membrane, so he quickly reminded him. Dr. Mark F. O'Brien
thanked him, saying, "Thank you! Thank you so much, Xiaocheng. My negligence almost endangered the patient's life."
在这里,任何人的脸面都不重要,重要的是人的生命,是如何做好每一个手术细节,使手术最大限度地获得成功。几位导师还采纳了刘晓程提出的一些改良手术的建议,风趣地称它为“刘氏法”。导师们一切为了病人、ー丝不苟的治学精神, 使刘晓程受益匪浅,成为他ー生工作的典范。
Here, no one's face is important, what is more important is human life and how to have a good command of details in each surgery so as to maximize the success of the operation. Several mentors even adopted some of Liu Xiaocheng's suggestions for improving the surgery, humorously calling them the "Liu Methods." The mentors' rigorous academic spirit featured by putting patients first , has greatly benefited Liu Xiaocheng and set a paradigm for his lifelong work.
从此,奥布来恩不顾法律约束,不仅让刘晓程在洋人身上主刀,而且做ー些连澳大利亚本国高级医生都轮不到的高难手术。一年内,刘晓程参加了 600多例手术,主刀完成50多例,仅冠状动脉搭桥就做了二三十例,患者最高年龄83岁,无ー例死亡或发生并发症。
From then on, disregarding legal constraints, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien not only allowed Liu Xiaocheng to perform surgery on western patients, but also some high-risk surgeries that even senior Australian doctors had no access to. Within a year, Liu Xiaocheng participated in more than 600 surgeries, completing over 50 of them as the lead surgeon, including 20-30 cases of Coronary artery bypass grafting successfully with no deaths or complications,among which the oldest patients reached 83 years old.
刘晓程以其独特的人格魅力及高超的医术,终于赢得了同行们的爱戴与尊重。留学一年期限到了,奥布来恩主动带刘晓程去州卫生主管部门申请延期,让他再研修一年。
With his unique personality charm and superb medical skills, Liu Xiaocheng finally won the love and respect of his colleagues. When the one-year overseas study period came to an end, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien took the initiative to accompany Liu Xiaocheng to the state health department to apply for an extension, allowing him to continue his studies for another year.

1985年,国际心脏外科会议在澳大利亚召开,走上讲台,代表澳大利亚查理王子医院做学术报告的不是别人,正是我们优秀的刘晓程。他流利的英语、精湛的发言,令全场震惊,从而成为第一个享此殊荣的外国人。
In 1985, the XVIII World Congress of the International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery was held in Australia. It was our outstanding Liu Xiaocheng who represented The Prince Charles Hospital in Australia to give a academic report. He stunned the audience with his fluent English and excellent speech, becoming the first foreigner to receive this honor.
留学期限到了,奥布来恩让刘晓程把家属接来,一切手续由他办理。他说这里的条件比中国好得多,对刘晓程今后的发展大有益处。
When his duration of study abroad was coming to an end, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien offered to help Liu Xiaocheng bring his family over and prepare all the paperwork. He believed that the conditions in Australia were much better than in China and it would be of great benefits to Liu Xiaocheng.
在查理王子医院,一名普通医生的年收入高达几十万美元;而在阜外医院,一名主任医师的年收入也不过几千元人民币。而且,中国留学生陪读热方兴未艾,多少人都梦寐以求地想借此机会搭上出国的列车,从而开始另一番人生之旅。从阜外医院ー起来澳洲留学的医生已经把家属接来了,劝刘晓程也这样做。可是,刘晓程却忘不了童年时代,父亲多次给他讲的钱学森等科学家从美国归来报效国家的故事。他舍弃不掉对祖国、对家乡的那份刻骨铭心的眷恋。
At The Prince Charles Hospital, an ordinary doctor's annual income reached hundreds of thousands of dollars, while at Fuwai Hospital , a chief physician's annual income was only a few thousand yuan. In addition, the trend of accompanying study abroad among Chinese students was still popular, and many people dreamed of taking this opportunity to go abroad and embark on a new journey in life. Doctors who came to Australia from Fuwai Hospital together with Liu Xiaocheng had already brought their families over. They advised Liu Xiaocheng to do the same. However, Liu Xiaocheng could not forget the story his father told him so many times in his childhood about scientists such as Qian Xuesen who returned to China from the United States to serve the country. He couldn't abandon the deep affection he had for his country and hometown.
一次,他跟同事到澳大利亚花城土温巴山去旅游,看到山顶有ー只标着世界各国方位的坐标,就面向自己的祖国,迎着落日的余晖,唱起了思乡曲:“乡间小路,带我回家。那个地方,我永远属于她……”唱着唱着,一行思乡的泪不知不觉地流了下来。他知道,他的心永远属于那个虽然贫穷却不能忘怀的祖国,属于那个无论多么优越的条件都无法取代的母亲!
Once, he went on a trip to Toowoomba,the Garden City of Australia with his colleagues. On the mountaintop, he saw a coordinate marked with directions of various countries in the world. Then bathed in the sunset glow, he began singing a homesick song in the direction of his hometown: "The country road leads me home, the small town where I always belong to ..." As he sang, tears of homesickness flowed unconsciously down his face. He knew that his heart would always goes to his motherland, which, despite its poverty, he could never forget, and , which will never be replaced any other rich country.
“导师,中国的病人太多,太苦了,那里非常需要医生。如果我们学成了都留在
国外,那谁去解救他们呢?中国有句俗话,叫作’儿不嫌母丑,狗不嫌家贫’。这里的条件虽然优越,但并不需要我。我的祖国虽然很穷,但她需要我,我也需要她。” 刘晓程婉言谢绝了导师的挽留。
"Teacher, there are too many patients in China. They are suffering a lot. My country needs doctors desperately. If we all decide to stay abroad after finishing our studies, who will rescue them? There is a saying in China, 'Children will not detest their mother for being ugly, and dogs will not detest their owners for being poor.' The conditions here are superior and I am not that needed here. While my motherland is poor, she needs me, and I also need her." Liu Xiaocheng politely declined the teacher's retention.
奥布来恩听了很受感动,说:“我很理解你,也很赞成你的选择。回国以后有什么困难尽管告诉我,需要学什么欢迎你再来〇我的邀请永远对你有效〇”
Dr. Mark F. O'Brien was deeply moved by Liu Xiaocheng's words, saying "I understand you very well and totally agree with your decision. If you have any difficulties after returning home, please let me know.And if you need to learn anything, you are always welcome to come back."
随同刘晓程一起归来的,还有整整两箱子国内奇缺的体外循环插管和接头。在查理王子医院,刘晓程看到在国内奇缺的体外循环插管和接头,用过一次就丢进了垃圾袋,而在国内用过几百次都舍不得丢掉,就对同事们说:“我的国家还很穷, 可不可以请你们别丢掉这些东西,让我攒起来带回国去用?”同事们不但没有耻笑他,反而帮他将这些东西ー根根地收集起来,刷干净,消好毒,替他保存起来。
Together with Liu Xiaocheng, there were also two full boxes of extracorporeal circulation tubes and connectors that were in short supply in China. At The Prince Charles Hospital, Liu Xiaocheng saw that these items, which were in short supply in China , were were used once and then being discarded in a trash bag, but in China, they would be used hundreds of times before being thrown away. He said to his colleagues, "My country is still very poor. Can you please not throw away these items and let me take them back to my country to use?" His colleagues did not laugh at him, but instead helped him collect and clean every single item and keep them for him.
阜外医院麻醉科主任看到这两箱东西,高兴地喊起来:“噢,太好了。这可解决大问题了!”
When the head of anesthesiology at Fuwai Hospital saw these two boxes, he shouted with joy, "Oh, this is great! They’ll help a lot!"
“我的不幸的乡土哟,我恨你,我又不能不爱你!”
这是巴金老人多年前发出的感慨。
"Oh, my unfortunate hometown, I hate you, but I cannot help loving you!"
This was an expression of lament from the writer Ba Jin many years ago.
像许多海外归来的学子ー样,刘晓程怀着满腔热血扑向朝思暮想的祖国,扑向自己的事业。他的心就像喷薄欲出的太阳,充满了激情与渴望,渴望把自己所学的医术全部报效给祖国,报效给民众,拯救那些亟待手术的病人。
Like many overseas returnees, Liu Xiaocheng returned to his homeland with full passion and aspiration for his career. His heart was like a bursting sun, filled with passion and eagerness to use his medical skills to serve the country and the people, and to save those patients who were in urgent need of surgery.
可是,他很快就发现,面对阜外医院原先那种慢节奏、低效率的工作环境,就像当初到查理王子医院突然面临那种快节奏、高效率的环境ー样,他同样感到不适应了。他觉得自己就像ー颗日夜运转磨得程亮的螺丝,忽然被拧到ー辆慢悠悠的牛车上,无论怎样卖カ气都快不起来了。
However, he soon realized that he was not adapted to the slow-paced and inefficient working environment at Fuwai Hospital, just like when he first faced the fast-paced and high-efficiency environment at The Prince Charles Hospital. He felt like a screw that had been running and polished day and night, yet suddenly being put on a slow-moving cart, unable to speed up no matter how hard he tried.
他感到痛苦而茫然,一系列的问题常常叩击着他彻夜难眠的心:阜外医院每年仅能做1000例手术,排号却排到了 14000例。按照现有的速度,许多病人要等到 10年以后才能手术。全国需要手术的心脏病人有300多万,而全国每年仅能手术的不到1%。
He was in pain and confusion. Series of questions often haunted him in those sleepless nights. For example, although Fuwai Hospital could only perform 1,000 surgeries per year, there were already 14,000 patients on the waiting list. At the current rate, many patients would have to wait for 10 years before they could undergo surgery. There were more than 3 million heart diseases patients in need of surgery in the country, but less than 1% could undergo surgery each year.
那300多万患者不知等到猴年马月才能手术,而绝大多数病人一直等到死都上不了手术台。这种尖锐的供求矛盾何时才能解决?在澳大利亚,他一年可以做几百例手术。回到国内,他这位主管四个病区的主治医生一年只能做88 例。全院上自院长下至年轻医生,都想多干工作,多救病人,可都觉得有劲使不出来。这到底是为什么?
Those 3 million patients didn’t know how long they have to wait, yet most patients may never have a chance to get on the operating table in their lifetime. When would this sharp supply-demand contradiction be resolved? In Australia, he could perform hundreds of surgeries in a year, but as an attending in charge of four wards, he could only perform 88 surgeries per year. From the hospital president to the young doctors, everyone wanted to do more work and save more patients, but they all felt powerless. Why ?
1987年春节期间,阜外医院派刘晓程带队到黑龙江省牡丹江市开展心脏手术。他看到家乡十几万心血管病人处在投医无路、求治无门的水深火热之中,感到很痛心。一天,ー个农民带着患有严重先天性法乐式四联症心脏病的13岁男孩, 顶风冒雪找到刘晓程,说他带着儿子跑了好几家医院,都做不上手术,求刘晓程救救他儿子。
During the Spring Festival period in 1987, Fuwai Hospital sent Liu Xiaocheng to Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province to perform heart surgeries. He saw that more than 100,000 cardiovascular patients in his hometown were in desperate need of medical treatment but had no access to it. He felt very distressed. One day, a farmer brought his 13-year-old son with Tetralogy of Fallot(TOF) to Liu Xiaocheng during a heavy snowstorm, saying that he had taken his son to several hospitals but could not get him the surgery. He begged Liu Xiaocheng to save his son.
可是,刘晓程带队出来时阜外医院有指示:到条件差的地方开展心脏手术,不要做复杂的,以免发生意外。刘晓程留下父子俩的地址,劝父子俩先回去等候消息。父子俩一走,刘晓程立刻电话请示阜外医院的导师郭加强院长。郭院长问他有没有把握,他说:“虽然有风险,但我还是有把握的!”郭院长说:“那你就做吧,但一定要慎重,要预防术后并发症。”
However, when Liu Xiaocheng and his team left Fuwai Hospital, they were instructed not to perform complex surgeries in areas with poor conditions to avoid accidents. Liu Xiaocheng took down the father and son's address, and asked them to go back and wait for news. As soon as they left, Liu Xiaocheng immediately called the hospital's mentor, President Guo Jiaqiang, for permission. Guo asked him if he had confidence in that, and he answered, "Although there are risks, I am still quite confident!" Guo said, "Then you can do it, but you must be careful and prevent postoperative complications."
于是,刘晓程不顾外面风雪交加,乘着牡丹江励副市长的三菱吉普,立刻去追赶那对父子。吉普车在风雪弥漫的山路上颠簸了三四个小时,几次险些翻到沟里.
So, disregarding the harsh snowstorm outside, Liu Xiaocheng immediately went to chase the father and son, riding in the Mitsubishi jeep of Li, the vice mayor of Mudanjiang. The jeep bounced on the snowy mountain road for three to four hours, nearly flipping into the ditch several times.
晚间9点多钟,终于在距离小说《林海雪原》所描写的“座山雕”威虎厅不远的偏僻山沟里,找到了父子俩的家间东倒西歪、窗户上钉着塑料布、房顶压着厚厚积雪的破草房。屋里除了几张瘦骨嶙峋的脸,只有一盏如豆的油灯呼呼啦啦地摇曳。直到许多年后,刘晓程都忘不了这个“家”。
Finally, at over 9 o'clock in the evening, they found the father and son's home in a remote mountain valley not far from the Tiger Mountain described in the novel the Tracks in the Snowy Forest, The house was leaning and crooked, with plastic sheeting nailed to the windows and a thatched roof covered in thick snow. Except for a few emaciated faces, there was only a small oil lamp flickering in the room. Liu Xiaocheng still remembered this "home" for many years to come.
半夜12点,当父子俩乘火车,搭马车,艰难地跋涉了十几个小时,雪人似的回到家里时,眼前的情景就像ー盏灯,猛然照亮了爷儿俩几乎冻僵的心,也照亮了这个被世界遗忘的家庭。
At midnight, the father and son returned home like two snowmen after a grueling journey of over ten hours by train and horse-drawn carriage. The scene in front of them was like a lamp suddenly illuminating their almost frozen hearts and the forgotten family.

农民汉子一把抓住刘晓程的手,老泪纵横地哭喊道:“刘大夫,你是俺们全家的救命恩人哪!俺们做梦都没想到啊!”
The peasant man grabbed Liu Xiaocheng's hand, crying and exclaiming, "Doctor Liu, you are our family's savior! We’ve never even dreamed of this!"
这个五口之家本来就穷得叮当响,孩子有病更是雪上加霜,四处磕头作揖借了几千元钱,可都扔在铁道线上了,两次去北京手术都排不上号。农民汉子呼天不应,叫地不灵,几次想ー头撞死在北京大街上,可转而ー想,自己死了一家老小怎么办?现在,北京来的大夫却顶风冒雪找上门来了,来接儿子回去手术,天底下竟然有这么好的医生?!他不敢相信这是真的。
This family of five was already extremely poor, and the child's illness added insult to injury. They begged and bowed all around to borrow a few thousand yuan, but it was all spent on train tickets. They couldn't even get a surgical appointment during their two trips to Beijing. The peasant man was made desperate, even considering suicide on the streets of Beijing, but then he thought, "What would happen to my family if I died?" Now, a doctor from Beijing had braved the wind and snow to find them and take their son for surgery. Can there really be such a good doctor in the world? He couldn't believe it was true.
“刘大夫,你这北京来的专家,用市长的车来接俺儿去做手术,俺不是在做梦吧?”
“文化大革命”期间,刘晓程的父亲冒着坐牢的危险,顶着造反派的压カ,抢救过被医生放弃、濒临死亡的农村孩子。今天,刘晓程担着手术风险,在风雪弥漫的山路上跑了上百里路,为了找到ー个素不相识的农家孩子。因为他知道,在这极其偏僻、方圆几十里见不到人烟的山沟里,ー个患有严重先天性心脏病的孩子,如果不能尽快地接受根治手术,那将意味着什么。如果这次巡回医疗不能为孩子手术, 这孩子就不知会等到哪年哪月了。
During the "Cultural Revolution," Liu Xiaocheng's father ran the risk of being put to prison and withstood the pressure of being recognized as rebel groups to save a rural child who had been given up on by doctors and were on the verge of death. Today, Liu Xiaocheng himself took the risk of surgery and traveled hundreds of miles on snowy mountain roads to find a rural child he had never met before. He knew that in this extremely remote mountain valley and for a child with a serious congenital heart disease, if he could not receive curative surgery as soon as possible, what will that mean? If he could not get surgery during this mobile medical tour, it’s unknown when he would be able to receive treatment.
刘晓程连夜把父子俩接回医院,第二天就为孩子成功地做了手术。这次巡回医疗,他在牡丹江成功地做了 8台心脏手术。
Liu Xiaocheng brought the father and son back to the hospital overnight and successfully operated on the child the next day. During this mobile medical tour, he successfully performed eight heart surgeries in Mudanjiang.
巡回医疗很快就结束了,可是,黑龙江十几万心脏病同胞求医无门、备受煎熬的情景,却历历在目,一直蹂嘛着刘晓程的心。
The mobile medical tour soon ended, but the scene of tens of thousands of heart disease patients in Heilongjiang suffering and seeking medical help but failing was still vivid in Liu Xiaocheng's mind, breaking his heart.
回国两年,他的内心苦苦思索了两年,斗争了两年。
经过多少个不眠之夜的思考,这位海外归来的学子斗胆发出了天问:造成这种日益尖锐的供求矛盾的原因到底是什么?难道仅仅是因为我们穷吗?
After returning to his home country for two years, he struggled and pondered in numerous sleepless nights over the reasons behind the increasingly sharp supply and demand contradictions. He wondered if poverty was the only reason for it.
“不!我们不单单是经济和科技落后,还有封建思想残余及诸多因素造成的低效率和看不见摸不着却处处存在着的内耗!这种内耗大量地表现在扯皮、推诿,或有劲使不上的工作上。
"It's not just because we are economically and technologically behind, but also because of the remnants of feudal thinking and many other factors that lead to inefficiency and hazards that almost existed everywhere. This kind of hazards were often manifested in disputes, shirking responsibilities, or jobs where one cannot fully apply oneself.
在大城市科研单位里死争死挤,却难以发挥作用的人,何止ー二?有了技术人才,宁可自己封存不用,也不肯放走的大单位,何止ー二?教了三年打铁,临出徒オ放手让他打一把炉钩子的师傅,又何止ー二? 一代又一代,周而复始。可悲的传统观念,根深蒂固的封建思想残余……难啊,我们的知识分子真是太少又'太多’了！
There are countless people in scientific research units in big cities who were struggling in and unable to exert their abilities. There are also large nits that would rather keep technical talent in storage than let them go. Moreover, there are also masters who teach apprentices to forge iron for three years, but still cannot let them make a hook.
“谭嗣同为了唤起中华民族的觉醒,甘愿献出生命。他在断头台前从容地喊出了“死得其所,快哉快哉”的千古绝唱。谭嗣同大义凛然、视死如归的精神,令多少人感慨不已。
In order to awaken the Chinese nation, Tan Sitong was willing to sacrifice his life. Before the execution, he calmly shouted "To die for a just cause is a happy death." Tan Sitong's spirit of righteousness and fearlessness in the face of death left many people deeply moved.
资产阶级革命家为国为民尚有如此壮烈之举,我们20世纪的共产党人就不能牺牲点儿什么,来治治有目共睹的通病和顽症吗?”（这段激越之词,摘自 1993年刘晓程以全国优秀中青年干部身份,在人民大会堂向中直机关和科研院校代表做的报告《人生蹉註,丹心一片,为国为民,不虚此生》〇）
If a bourgeois revolutionary can make such a heroic sacrifice for his country and people, why can't we, as Communist Party members of the 20th century, sacrifice something to cure those common problems in our society? (This passionate speech was excerpted from Liu Xiaocheng's report "Life may be wasted, but with unwavering dedication, for the country and the people, this life is not in vain." , which he delivered in 1993 as an outstanding young cadre to representatives of Work Committee for Offices Directly under the CCCPC and scientific research institutes at the Great Hall of the People.
这番令有识之士感慨万千的肺腑之言,无疑是对中国医疗体制与传统观念的挑战。但是,他太渺小了,他仅仅是一名留学归来、满怀忧国忧民之心的医生。他所能左右的仅仅是他自己,而非ー个沉寂几十年、远远滞后于社会发展的国家医疗体制。于是,他向自己提出了一个天大的难题:我为什么不能回到家乡,为备受病痛折磨的父老乡亲建一所心血管病专科医院?
These heartfelt words that have moved many wise people undoubtedly challenge the traditional beliefs and healthcare system in China. However, Liu is too insignificant - he is just a doctor who returned from studying abroad and is deeply concerned about the country and its people. He could only control himself, rather than a healthcare system that had been stagnant for decades and lagged far behind the society's development. Therefore, he questioned himself: why can't he return to his hometown and build a specialized cardiovascular hospital for his folks who have been suffering from illness and pain?
于是,他做出了一个重大抉择:回家乡,为家乡父老做点儿カ所能及的事！可他觉得,这样做太对不住妻子和儿子了。他和妻子结婚八年分居了六年。现在,妻子刚从东北调到北京邮电医院,孩子被安排在师资雄厚的大木仓小学。阜外医院刚分给他两室ー厅的住房,一家三口终于在北京落户了,刚刚有了一个安稳的家。可现在,他却要亲手砸碎它……ー想到这些,ー种深深的自责便噬啮着他的心:我有什么权毁掉这一切?又有什么资格把他们母子再拖回到前途未卜的动荡之中?
So he made a major decision: to go back to his hometown and do what he could for his folks. But he felt that he was not being fair to his wife and son by doing so. They had been separated for six of the eight years they had been married. Now his wife had just been transferred from the Northeast China to Beijing Postal Hospital, and their son was enrolled in Damu Cang Elementary School with real qualified teachers. Fuwai Hospital had just assigned him a two-bedroom apartment, and the family had finally settled down in Beijing. But now he had to destroy it with his own hands... The thought of all this self-blame gnawed at his heart: what right did he have to ruin everything? And what qualifications did he have to drag his wife and son back into the uncertain and tumultuous future?
又是ー个无眠之夜。刘晓程在与妻子彻夜长谈 “看到家乡人倾家荡产地跑到北京来找我,看着他们走投无路、求医无门的样子,我常常觉得自己很无能。你想想,如果那些人是我们的父母,是我们的兄弟姐妹,眼看着他们排不上号,住不上院,病情一天比ー天严重,你说我们心里是什么滋味?”刘晓程长叹了一声,“唉,老百姓看病真难哪。尤其咱们黑龙江,天寒地冻,心脑血管的发病率均居全国之首……”
It was another sleepless night. Liu Xiaocheng had a long conversation with his wife, "Seeing people from my hometown come to Beijing, bankrupt and helpless and lacking access to medical treatment, I often feel powerless. Think about it, if those people were our parents, our brothers and sisters, seeing them unable to get medical treatment, unable to get hospitalized, and their condition worsening day by day, what would we feel?" Liu Xiaocheng let out a long sigh, “It's really difficult for ordinary people to get medical treatment. Especially in our freezing Heilongjiang province, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ranks first in the country..."
妻子洪依舒瞪着大眼睛幽幽地望着他,许久不说话。
His wife, Hong Yishu, stared at him with big eyes and didn't say a word for a long time.
她理解晓程内心的痛苦。她经常看见他夜里辗转反侧,唉声叹气。可是,看看这个来之不易的家,想想眼前这令多少人可望而不可即的一切,她实在不忍心丢下。可她太了解晓程的个性了,只要他认准的事,哪怕是刀山火海也毫不退却。“文革”期间大串联,一群学生豪言壮语要步行去北京见毛主席,坚持到最后的只有晓程和另一名男同学,一双脚都走烂了。
She understood the pain in Xiaocheng's heart. She often saw him toss and turn at night, sighing. But looking at this hard-won home and everything that is out of reach for so many people, she couldn't bear to leave. However, she knew Xiaocheng's personality too well. Once he decided on something, he never retreated, even when facing death. During the "Cultural Revolution", a group of students made a bold statement that they would walk to Beijing to see Chairman Mao, but in the end, only Xiaocheng and another male classmate persisted until their feet were worn out.
刘晓程见妻子久不言语,就说:“我知道你为我付出得太多了。这样吧,你和孩子留在北京,我ー个人回黑龙江。”
“别说了。”妻子打断了他,“从我的工作和孩子的教育考虑,我确实不想走,可我怎么能放心让你ー个人回去?我还是带着孩子跟你ー起走吧。”
“……”刘晓程一时语塞,一把搂过这位行动永远胜过语言的妻子,久久地拥在怀里。
Seeing his wife silent for so long, Xiaocheng said, "I know you have sacrificed too much for me. How about you and the child stay in Beijing, and I go back to Heilongjiang alone."

"Stop ," his wife interrupted him, "I really don't want to leave when considering my work and our child's education, but how can I let you go there alone? Let me and our child go with you."
"..." Liu Xiaocheng was speechless for a moment. He hugged his wife, whose actions always speak louder than words, and held her tightly for a long time.
为了慎重,刘晓程专程回佳木斯去征求父母的意见。
Being cautious, Liu Xiaocheng made a special trip back to Jiamusi to seek his parents' opinions.
父亲,他心中永远的太阳!
His father was the eternal sun in his heart!
克林顿曾说:“母亲告诉我永远不要放弃,不要屈服,不要停止微笑。无论发生多么可怕的事,第二天一早起床,母亲都会微笑着站在我面前,她从不把痛苦露给别人。”
Clinton once said, "My mother told me never to give up, never to surrender, and never to stop smiling. No matter how terrible things happened, my mother would wake up the next morning and stand in front of me with a smile on her face, never revealing her pain to others."
克林顿有一位伟大的母亲,刘晓程则有一位伟大的父亲。
Clinton had a great mother, and Liu Xiaocheng had a great father.
父亲刘沛是佳木斯医学院享誉四方的外科专家。他精湛的医术、高尚的医德, 不知恩泽过多少人。老人家过80大寿,佳木斯市委书记带着市委、市政府的“五大班子”去为老人祝寿。1988年,刘晓程和父亲同时享受首批国务院政府特殊津贴。
Liu Pei, Xiaocheng's father, was a renowned surgeon at Jiamusi Medical College. His superb medical skills and noble medical ethics have benefited countless people. When he turned 80, the Secretary of the CPC Jiamusi Municipal Committee led leaders from Jiamusi Party committee, Jiamusi Municipal People's Government, the Standing Committee of Jiamusi Municipal People's Congress, Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference of Jiamusi Municipal Committee, and military went to congratulate him. In 1988, Liu Xiaocheng and his father were both awarded the first batch of The special government allowance
父亲对晓程的管教很严。一次,父亲得知晓程从家里悄悄拿了两元钱买栗子吃,又对母亲说谎,第一次用皮带把晓程的屁股抽成了紫茄子。7岁的晓程却永远记住了父亲的教诲:“做人要诚实!不许说谎,说谎是万恶之源!”
Liu Xiaocheng’s father was very strict with him. Once, when his father found out that he had secretly taken two yuan from home to buy chestnuts and lied to his mother, he used a belt to whip Xiaocheng's butt until it turned purple. Xiaocheng, who was only seven years old at that time, would always remember his father's teachings: "Be honest! Don't lie. Lying is the root of all evil!"
在晓程的记忆里,父亲每天早晨5点就去病房查房,父亲常常蹲在厕所里观察病人的大便,以便做出准确的诊断。晓程不记得父亲让他给吃不上饭的病人送过多少次饺子,也不记得父亲掏钱给过多少贫病交加的病人,不知父亲从家里给病人偷偷拿过多少鸡蛋,更不记得多少病人感激涕零地跪倒在父亲面前,他只记得病人看到父亲眼里所流露出的目光---那种拜见上帝般的感激与崇敬。这给他幼小心灵打上了永不磨灭的烙印。
In Xiaocheng's memory, his father would do his rounds in the hospital at 5 am every morning. His father often squatted in the toilet to observe the patients' stools in order to make an accurate diagnosis. Xiaocheng didn’t remember how many times his father asked him to deliver dumplings to patients who couldn’t afford meals, or how many poor and sick patients his father gave money to. He didn't know how many eggs his father had secretly taken from home for the patients, and he didn't remember how many patients knelt down before his father in tears of gratitude. He only remembered the look in the patients' eyes when they saw his father--a kind of gratitude and reverence as if they were meeting God. This left an indelible mark on his young heart.
多年前,一位市委书记夫人乳房上长了一个良性肿瘤,要出省治疗,让父亲刘沛出诊断。父亲却说:“用不着出省,没必要花那份钱!”一句话把市委书记夫人顶了回去。
Many years ago, the wife of a municipal party secretary developed a benign tumor on her breast and wanted to go out of the province for treatment. She asked Liu Pei, father of Liu Xiaocheng for diagnosis and he suggested that it be unnecessary to go out of the province for treatment."
“文革”期间,ー个罕见的患先天性中肠旋转不全的农家孩子,被医生放弃治疗,家属被告知准备后事了。孩子父母抱着奄奄一息的孩子正悲恸欲绝,被打成 “日本特务”“反动学术权威”的父亲在清扫垃圾,急忙奔过来说:“千万不要放弃孩子,我能治!”
During the Cultural Revolution, a child from a rural family suffered from a rare disease Congenital intestinal malrotation and was abandoned by doctors. The child's parents were told to prepare for the worst . As they held their dying child in their arms, Liu Xiaocheng’s father, who had been labeled a "Japanese spy" and“the reactionary (bourgeois) academic authority ”, was cleaning up garbage. He rushed over ,saying "Don't give up on the child, I can treat him!"
造反派立刻质问他:“你敢承担这孩子手术的后果吗?”
父亲说:“一切后果由我来负!”
The Red Guards immediately questioned him, "Do you dare to bear the consequences of this child's surgery?"
The father replied, "I will bear all the consequences!"
这时,忽然响起一阵惊天动地的口号:“打倒日本特务刘沛!打倒反动学术权威刘沛!敌人不投降我们就叫他灭亡!”
Suddenly, a deafening chant rang out: "Down with Japanese spy Liu Pei! Down with reactionary academic authority Liu Pei! If the enemy doesn't surrender, we'll make them perish!"
就在一片“打倒”与“灭亡”的口号声中,身陷囹圄的父亲担着可能毁掉自己一生声誉,甚至可能因“陷害”革命群众而被判刑、被枪毙的风险,脱掉清扫服,匆匆走上了久违的手术台……孩子得救了,父亲又回到“牛棚”里继续清扫厕所。
Amidst the deafening chants of "down with" and "perish", Liu’s father, who was imprisoned, removed his cleaning clothes and quickly walked onto the long awaited surgical table, risking his lifelong reputation being destroyed and even facing the possibility of imprisonment or execution for "framing" the revolutionary masses. The child was saved, and the father returned to the "cowshed" to continue cleaning the toilets.
“名誉与生命相比,毕竟是微不足道的。在毁誉与病人的生命面前,必须勇敢地选择后者,这オ是ー个好医生。”这是父亲的人生信条,也是他对儿子的训诫。
"Compared with life, honor is insignificant. Between infamy and patient's lives, one must courageously choose the latter. That's what makes a good doctor" said the father. This is also his life creed and his admonition to his son.
父亲不媚上、不卑下,博爱济贫,珍爱他人生命的做人准则,成为刘晓程一生的楷模。“文革”期间,刚学会游泳的晓程不顾淹死的危险,跳进松花江救起一名遇险的教师。当了医生以后,他更是处处以父亲为楷模,以母亲的遗训为座右铭,严格自律。母亲73岁那年,因患严重风湿病连筷子都拿不住,却颤抖着双手为儿子留下一条遗训:“医乃仁术,好自为之。”这条遗训一直挂在晓程的办公室里。
The father was neither servile nor domineering , but he is kind, loving help the poor and seeing cherishing other people's lives as his creed, setting a role model for his son Liu Xiaocheng throughout his life. During the Cultural Revolution, Xiaocheng, who had just learned to swim, risked drowning and jumped into the Songhua River to save a teacher in distress. After becoming a doctor, he strictly disciplined himself with his father as his role model and his mother's teachings as his motto: "To be a doctor is to practice benevolence" This teachings has been hanging in Xiaocheng's office.
“风萧萧兮塞外寒,壮士一去兮不复还!”
"The wind howls in the cold of the frontier, the valiant warrior sets out and never returns!"
Hsiao-hsiao soughs the wind,oh- Cold the waters of the Yi.
The knight who leaves you now, oh-
You shall nevermore see.
父亲得知刘晓程决定回黑龙江创业,竟说出一番令晓程大为感动的话。
When Liu Xiaocheng decided to go back to Heilongjiang, his father said something that deeply moved him.
“当初我让你出去闯荡,是为了让你多学本领;现在我像当初一样支持你回来, 你应该把学的东西为家乡父老贡献出来。” 得到父亲的支持,刘晓程回黑龙江创业的决心越发坚定了。
"At first I let you go out to make a living, in order to let you learn more skills; Now, just like before, I support you to come back, hoping that you could contribute what you’ve learned to folks back home." With his father's support, Liu Xiaocheng's determination to return to Heilongjiang to restart his career became even stronger.
此刻,中国正处在“出国热”的大潮之中,多少海外学子都挖空心思留在美国、澳大利亚等发达国家。当然,他们的选择无可厚非,人各有志,中国封闭得太久了, 耽误得也太久了,人人都有选择人生道路的权利。但是,我们不能不为刘晓程逆潮流而动,选择艰苦人生的勇气而叫好,不能不对他“先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐”、以天下为己任的境界而肃然起敬。
At this moment, China was in the midst of a "going abroad boom". Most overseas students were doing everything they could to stay in developed countries like the United States and Australia. Of course, their choices were understandable - everyone had their own aspirations and the right to choose their own path in life. And China had been too closed off for so long that it was far behind the world. However, we cannot help but admire Liu Xiaocheng's courage to swim against the tide and choose a more difficult path in life. We should also respect his willingness to " be the first to worry about the nation's woes and the last to share in its prosperity." and to take on the responsibility of making the world a better place.
1987年5月13日深夜,刘晓程来到儿子床前,抚摸着熟睡中的儿子脸蛋,轻声道:“儿子,爸爸也许对不起你。爸爸没权利剥夺你现有的条件,等你长大以后也许会埋怨爸爸,到那时爸爸再向你解释吧。”
Late on the night of May 13, 1987, Liu Xiaocheng came to his son's bedside and gently touched his sleeping face. "Son, maybe I have let you down for not taking good care of you. I don't have the right to take away what you have now, and maybe you will resent me when you grow up. If that happens, I'll explain everything to you."
经过两年的痛苦挣扎,ー颗崇高的心灵终于得到了解脱。他的心境变得从未有过的旷达与坦然,就像暴风雨过后的大海,浩瀚而平静,又像鼓满风帆的航船,期待着新的远航。他开始伏案疾书,给院领导写《请调报告》
After two years of painful struggle, his noble spirit finally had been set free. His state of mind became magnanimous and serene, like the vast and calm sea after a storm, or a sailboat in full sails waiting for a new journey. He began to write a "Transfer Request Letter" to the head of the hospital.
这不是一份普通的《请调报告》,而是一次自我心灵的剖白,ー张人生价值的答卷,ー份向旧医疗体制宣战的檄文
This is not an ordinary "Transfer Request Letter", but a confession of one's heart, an answer sheet of one's life values, and a declaration of war against the old healthcare system.
“20岁时,我为‘人为什么活着’这个严肃的问题而苦恼过,求索过。在那个动荡的年代,我心中的希望之光泯灭过,我也曾颓废过,消沉过。但我终于自拔了,振作了,并在坎坷的道路上奋斗了 20年。
“When I was 20 years old, I struggled and searched for the serious question of 'why do people live.' In those turbulent times, the light of hope in my heart was once extinguished, and I was disillusioned and depressed. But I finally pulled myself out, picked myself up, and struggled for 20 years on a tough road.
而今,作为一名80年代的中年知识分子, 作为一名炎黄子孙,我又为‘怎样度过余生’这个严肃的问题,而苦苦思索,认真探求。经过人生的苦、辣、酸、甜,我真正地认识到,人为了自己活着,就会永远感到空虚和不满足,而为了人民去工作和奋斗,就会感到充实。这种思索与探求,使我的心灵得到净化,使我抛弃了小我,去追求人生的真谛。
“Now, as a middle-aged intellectual of the 80s, as a Chinese , I am again earnestly thinking and exploring the question of“how to spend the rest of my life”. Having been through the ups and downs of life, I truly realized that if a person lives for themselves, they will always feel empty and unsatisfied. While if they work and strive for the people, they will feel fulfilled. This kind of thinking and exploration has purified my soul, and made me abandon my selfishness to pursue the true meaning of life.
“到阜外医院8年,我由一名基层医院的普通医生,成长为一名心血管外科主治医生。回想8年来的一幕幕,我不禁心潮澎湃,思绪难平,对给予我一切的阜外医院和我的启蒙导师,心中充满了对亲生父母般的赤子之情,有着永远不能忘怀的感激与眷恋……
"During my eight years at Fuwai Hospital, I grew from an ordinary doctor to an attending in cardiovascular surgery. Looking back on the past 8 years, I can't help but feel overwhelmed with emotions and, and my heart is filled with gratitude and attachment to Fuxing Hospital and my mentor that gave me everything, like my own parents...
“我国现有300多万心脏病人等待着手术,而全国每年仅能完成几千例,存在着严重的供求矛盾。心血管疾病虽然不像霍乱、天花等烈性传染病那样被视为洪水猛兽,但却毫不留情地吞噬着千万人的生命。
"There are currently more than three million heart disease patients in China waiting for surgery, but only a few thousand operations can be completed each year, thus there is a serious contradiction between supply and demand. Although cardiovascular disease is not considered as deadly as cholera, smallpox and other acute contagious diseases, it ruthlessly devours the lives of millions of people.
我由衷地赞同、支持我院当前所搞的心血管外科临床协作和建立全国培训中心,但也清楚地看到,当前这种协作方式达到真正奏效的难处……我觉得,各地方搞心血管外科唯一有效的途径是建立心血管专科医院。像阜外医院、上海胸科医院等有实カ的大医疗中心,应向全国搞协作和培训,不应像蜻蜓点水,飞走后又是ー潭死水;而应像ー架播种机,到祖国的沃土上去播种……舍出几个卒子,甚至几员大将,必将走活ー盘死棋。
“I wholeheartedly support the clinical collaboration and establishment of a national training center in cardiovascular surgery that our hospital is currently working on, but I also clearly see the difficulties in achieving real effectiveness through this collaborative approach... I think that the only effective way for local areas to develop cardiovascular surgery is to establish specialized cardiovascular hospitals. Large medical centers , such as Fuwai Hospital and Shanghai Chest Hospital, should cooperate and train medical professionals nationwide, rather than just touching the surface. They should act like a sower, sowing on the fertile land of our country... Sacrificing a few soldiers, or even a few generals, will undoubtedly lead to a successful outcome in this difficult situation."
“黑龙江是我的故乡,那里因气候寒冷,经济文化落后,先后天心脏病的发病率都高于全国平均数,10万病人处在投医无路、求治无门之中。我决心抛弃北京优越的生活条件,离开培养我的阜外医院,为家乡水深火热中的父老兄弟筹建一座心血管病医院,为中国的心血管外科事业开辟一条新路。我深知,自己的精力有限, 时光有限,业务水平和行政能力也有限,也许今生今世难遂夙愿。但我情愿做铺路石,做人梯,让后人继续去开拓,去登攀。我的离去,对阜外医院的损失只是暂时的、局部的,却有可能改变家乡千万人的命运。我向领导正式提出,请把我当作第一粒种子播下去吧!”
“Heilongjiang province is my hometown. Due to its cold climate and underdeveloped economy and culture, the incidence of heart disease has been higher than the national average. 100,000 patients lacked access to medical treatment. I made the decision to leave behind the comfortable living conditions of Beijing and Fuwai Hospital that trained me, to build a cardiovascular hospital for my suffering folks and to open up a new path for China's cardiovascular surgery. I know my energy, time, expertise, and administrative abilities are limited, and my wish may never come true in this lifetime. However, I am willing to be the stepping stone for future generations. My departure may cause temporary and partial loss to Fuwai Hospital, but it is likely to change the fate of millions in my hometown. I formally request that leaders take me as the first seed and plant me in my hometown!"

10页报告,一蹴而就。
A 10-page report, all in one go.
他最后写道:“心底无私天地宽。站在人生的十字路口,我的心境从未像现在这样开朗,头脑从未像现在这样清晰,决心从未像现在这样坚定。风萧萧兮塞外寒,壮士一去兮不复还!”
In the end, he wrote, "With an unselfish heart, the world is vast. Standing at the crossroads of life, I have never been more open-minded, more clear-headed and more determined than I am now. The wind howls in the desolate north, and once a brave warrior departs, he never returns!" It was written with a touch of sorrow and desolation.
写得有几分悲壮,几分苍凉。
The writing has a touch of tragedy and desolation.
这份在阜外医院建院以来从未有过的《请调报告》,就像一枚炸弹,在医院里掀起一场轩然大波。人们猜测着刘晓程调离阜外的真正原因,是领导对他重视不够,还是家属安排不周?仔细ー想,阜外医院对他不错,送他出国留学;破格提拔他为四个病区的负责人;刚分给他两居室的住房;他妻子被调到邮电部医院……
This "Transfer Request Letter" that had never happened since the establishment of Fuwai Hospital was like a bomb, causing a huge wave in the hospital. People speculated about the real reason for Liu Xiaocheng's transfer away from Fuwai. Was it because the leaders hadn't valued him enough or because of the inconsiderate arrangements for his family? But in reflection, Fufang Hospital had treated him well. They sent him abroad to study, promoted him as the head of four wards, just allocated him a two-bedroom apartment, and his wife was transferred to the Postal and Telecommunications Hospital.
而且在学术上,他成功地完成了全院第一例正后壁梗后室壁瘤切除术并搭了两支桥;他使术后停跳45分钟的病人心脏复苏;他参与了国家“七五”攻关重点科研“冠心病心肌血重建方法”的研究和协调工作;他建立起液氮保存的同种生物瓣实验室,并将该瓣首次应用于临床,填补了国内空白。这ー课题获得国家自然科学基金和中国医学科学院科研基金……
Furthermore, in terms of academics, he successfully completed the first operation of resecting the posterior ventricular wall tumor and created two bypasses, revived a patient's heart that had stopped beating for 45 minutes after surgery, participated in the research and coordination of the national key scientific research project "Coronary Heart Disease Myocardial Blood Reconstruction Method," and established a laboratory for preserving homograft bioprosthetic valve in liquid nitrogen, and applied it to clinical practice for the first time, filling the gap in the domestic field. This project also got funding from The National Natural Science Foundation of China and the research fund of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS)...

“晓程,是工作不顺心,还是院领导考虑不周?院领导一直很器重你,希望你不要走。”院党委书记陈德林同志找刘晓程谈话。
"Xiaocheng, is it because of your work being unsatisfactory or because the hospital leaders are not considerate enough ? The leaders has always valued you, and hopes you won't leave." Chen Delin, the party secretary of the hospital, talked to Liu Xiaocheng.
“告诉我,晓程,到底因为什么?”郭加强院长是刘晓程的研究生导师。刘晓程是郭院长最得意的弟子,两人私交甚好。郭院长直言不讳地问道。
"Tell me, Xiaocheng, what's the real reason?" Guo Jiaqiang, the hospital dean, is Liu Xiaocheng's mentor. Liu Xiaocheng is Guo Jiaqiang's prized pupil, and they have a good relationship with each other. Guo Jiaqiang asked straightforwardly.
“导师,黑龙江是心血管病的高发区,10万心血管病人急需手术,那里更需要我。我准备在黑龙江建一座心血管病医院!”
"Mentor, Heilongjiang is a high-risk area for cardiovascular diseases, and there are 100,000 cardiovascular patients in urgent need of surgery. They need me more over there. I plan to build a cardiovascular disease hospital in Heilongjiang!"
“噢,原来是这样,并不是因为人际关系或者待遇问题……”郭院长的心里感到ー丝安慰,“我看你还是把关系留在阜外,先回去干一段看看再说,觉得不理想再回来嘛。”
"Oh, I see. It's not because of personal relationships or treatment ." hospital director Guo Jiaqiang felt a bit relieved in his heart. "I suggest you keep the relationship at Fufang and go back to work there for a while. If you don't find it ideal, then come back."
“谢谢导师,可我必须破釜沉舟,背水一战,否则会动摇我的意志”
"Thank you, mentor, but I have to go all out, or else it will shake my determination."
“你还是好好考虑考虑吧!”
"Well, you may as well think about it carefully ."
院领导不放,刘晓程只好去找曾担任佳木斯合江地委书记、现任中组部副部长的曹志同志说情。曹志给卫生部陈敏章部长写信说:“刘晓程立志到下面去,为人民解除病痛,这种精神应给予支持。”
Given that the hospital leader refused to let him go, Liu Xiaocheng had to go to Comrade Cao Zhi, who had served as the secretary of the Hejiang local party committee in Jiamusi and is now the Vice minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the CPC, to intercede. Cao Zhi wrote a letter to Chen Minzhang, the Ministry of Health, saying, "Liu Xiaocheng is determined to go to the grassroots to relieve the people of their illnesses. This spirit should be supported."
看到刘晓程去意坚决,郭加强院长只好忍痛放行。
Seeing that Liu Xiaocheng was determined to leave, Director of the hospital Guo Jiaqiang had to reluctantly let him go.
“既然是这样,我也就不勉强留你了。今后无论遇到什么困难尽管告诉我,导师的大门永远冲你晓程敞开着!”
"Since you were determined, I won't force you to stay. Whatever difficulties you encounter in the future, just tell me. As your mentor, my door will always be open to you! My doors will always be open to you,
Xiaocheng!"
“谢谢导师的关怀!”
"Thank you for your concern, mentor!"
临行前,一群收入微薄的护士凑钱请刘晓程到烤鸭店去吃烤鸭,约好每人送给他几句话,可到了餐桌上一句话都讲不出来,只有一片呜咽声。中层干部送别会上,一位副主任说:“晓程,你想到了我们大家想过的事,却做出了我们没有勇气做的事。”
Before leaving, a group of low-paid nurses pooled their money to invite Liu Xiaocheng to a roast duck restaurant, each of them planning to say a few words to him. But when they sat down to eat, no one could say anything except for sobs. At the farewell party held for middle leaders, a deputy director said, "Xiao Cheng, you thought what we all thought, but did what we didn't have the courage to do."
后来,这位副主任果然去了海南。一群研究生把刘晓程拉进宿舍,几杯薄酒为他饯行:“晓程你先走,我们为你壮行。这条路走对了,我们毕业后也回家乡!”
Later, the deputy director did go to Hainan. A group of graduate students dragged Liu Xiaocheng into their dormitory and gave him a little farewell party with wine. "You go first, Xiaocheng. We'll cheer for you. You chose the right path, we'll come back to our hometown after graduation too!
院器械处给刘晓程送来大量的器械,并把空压机换了马达,怕他用坏了没处修;麻醉科主任给他送来一大袋麻醉用品;历来有“把家虎”之称的监护室护士长, 破天荒地送给他ー堆难买的小器械;药剂科的丁飞主任眼含热泪叮嘱他:“今后不管什么紧缺药,只要阜外有的就有你晓程的！”病房的病人听说他要走,纷纷爬起来为他送别。
The medical equipment department of the hospital sent a large number of medical devices to Liu Xiaocheng, and even replaced the motor of the air compressor for fear that he would break it and have nowhere to repair it. A Head of Anesthesiology sent him a big bag of anesthetic supplies. The head nurse of the Intensive Care Unit, who has always been known as "the guardian of the hospital," sent him a pile of hard-to-buy small equipment unexpectedly. The Director of Pharmacy, Ding Fei, with tears in his eyes, urged him, "No matter what scarce medicine is needed in the future, as long as Fuwai has it, you can also have it, Xiaocheng!" When the patients in the ward heard that he was leaving, they all got up to bid him farewell.
人们赞扬刘晓程的妻子洪依舒很伟大,竟然舍弃北京优越的环境,跟丈夫回黑龙江去受苦,这在一般女人是做不到的。刘晓程也觉得妻子很了不起,但在临行前一天晚间,洪依舒看到昨天还温馨流溢的家,忽然变得冷冷清清一无所有了,她哭了。他拥着她在空空荡荡的屋里站了很久。他知道,这个家再也不属于他们了。
People praise Liu Xiaocheng's wife Hong Yishu for her greatness, because she gave up the privileged environment of Beijing and went back to Heilongjiang with her husband to suffer, which was something that most women cannot do. Liu Xiaocheng also thought that his wife is amazing, but on the evening before they left, Hong Yishu saw the home that was warm and affectionate yesterday suddenly became deserted and empty and cried. He held her in the empty house for a long time. He knew that this home no longer belonged to them.
世界因为他而改变The world changed because of him.
凤凰卫视资讯台总编阮次山先生说:“如果一个人年过30,你胸中的理想依然存在,你必然会有前途。就是做ー个升斗小民,也可以选择做ー个什么样的升斗小民。”
Mr. Ruan Cishan, the chief editor of Phoenix TV News, said, "If a person is over 30 years old and still holds onto their ideals, they are bound to have a bright future. Even if they are just an ordinary person, they can still choose to be an extraordinary one."
1987年6月14日,刘晓程起程回黑龙江。
On 14 June 1987, Liu Xiaocheng sets off for Heilongjiang.
决心回黑龙江之后,他的首选地是故乡佳木斯。春节放假期间,他曾找到市政府领导谈,说他要回佳木斯建一所心血管病医院,为家乡父老做点贡献。这位领导却以资金紧张为由回绝了他。之后,他来到距离佳木斯很近的牡丹江市。牡丹江的东安医院曾派医生到阜外医院学习过心脏手术,他曾带过他们的进修生。
After making the decision to return to Heilongjiang, his first stop was his hometown of Jiamusi. During the Chinese New Year holiday, he approached the Municipal government leaders to discuss about building a cardiovascular hospital in Jiamusi so as to contribute to his folks. However, the leader rejected with the excuse that money was tight. Liu then went to Mudanjiang city, which is close to Jiamusi. Dong'an Hospital in Mudanjiang had previously sent doctors to learn how to do heart surgery at Fuwai Hospital, and Liu had trained some of them.
1987 年春节期间,他带着巡回医疗队就在东安医院做过8台心脏手术。这次,他向牡丹江市政府领导说明了来意,立刻受到市政府领导的欢迎,并任命他为东安医院的党支部书记兼院长。就这样,以美丽的镜泊湖著称的牡丹江市,张开双臂热烈欢迎这位赤子的到来。
During the 1987 Chinese New Year holiday, he performed eight heart surgeries with a mobile medical team at Dong'an Hospital. This time, he explained his intentions to the Mudanjiang Municipal People’s Government and was warmly welcomed and appointed as the secretary of the hospital's Party branch and the hospital director. Thus, the beautiful city of Mudanjiang, famous for its Jingpo Lake, warmly welcomed this passionate man.
然而,随着他们一家三口的到来,一些流言蜚语却像空气ー样悄悄地弥漫开来。
“他肯定是在北京干不下去了,要不从国家大医院跑到这大集体医院来干啥?”“听说在镜泊湖给他盖了一幢别墅呢。要不,他从北京跑这穷地方来图啥呀?”
However, with their arrival, some rumors quietly went viral.
"He must have been unable to carry on his work in Beijing, why else would he left a national hospital to this collective hospital?"
"I heard that a villa was built for him at Jingbo Lake. Why would he come to this poor place from Beijing?"
东安医院是一所区级大集体医院,小日本侵略中国时盖的,半个多世纪的风剥雨蚀,早已经老掉牙了。墙壁ー碰就掉白灰,地板使劲ー踩就会陷下去。全院仅有 2000平方米房舍、70张床位,却有200多名职エ。医院穷得叮当响,背负几十万元的外债,没有像样的麻醉师,没有得力的助手,没有像样的器械……
Dong'an Hospital is a district-level collective hospital built during the War of Resistance Against Japan. With a history of more than half a century, it has already become old and weathered. The walls peeled off at the touch, and the floor sank underfoot. The entire hospital had only 2000 square meters of housing and 70 beds, but there were more than 200 staff members. The hospital was so poor that it had external debt of tens of thousands of yuan and had no competent anesthesiologists, no capable assistants, and no decent medical equipment...
刘晓程一家三口挤在ー间狭小的办公室里。难怪老百姓要问:刘晓程来牡丹江到底图啥?
Liu Xiaocheng and his family crowded together in a small office. No wonder the people asked: Why did Liu Xiaocheng up come to Mudanjiang?
可是,刘晓程却感到ー种从未有过的畅快,终于扔掉一切束缚,可以甩开膀子干了。第二天他就走上了手术台。就在这所简陋得令人难以置信的医院里,就在这间用竹竿支起塑料布、用来接住屋顶剥落的白灰及缓霜滴水的手术室里,靠几位仅受过初级训练的医护人员协助,他ー台接一台做起了世界最先进的心脏手术,一周就完成了十几例。
However, Liu Xiaocheng felt an unprecedented sense of liberation. He could finally lay himself out. The next day, he began performing surgery. In this shabby hospital, in this operating room set up with bamboo poles and plastic sheets used to catch the falling white powder and melting frost water from the roof, and with only a few medical personnel with basic training assisting him, he performed the most advanced heart surgeries in the world one after another, completing more than a dozen in a week.
这里还经常停电,ー停电体外循环机就停了,只能用手摇泵继续手术。一次, 《健康报》的两名记者来采访又遇到停电,从未见过心脏手术的记者用颤抖的手擎着手电,为刘晓程继续手术照明。过后,两名记者带着一群患者家属去找市长“请愿”,市长特批为东安医院增加了双路电,这オ解决了停电问题。
Power outages often occurred here, and when the power went out, the cardiopulmonary bypass unit stopped working, and they had to continue the operation by using a hand pump. Once when two journalists from Health News came to interview, the power went out again. The journalists ,who had never seen heart surgery before, held a torch with their trembling hands to illuminate the surgery for Liu Xiaocheng. Afterwards, the two journalists took a group of patients' families to petition the mayor and the mayor approved an increase in the electricity supply to Dongan Hospital, which eventually solved the power outage problem.
牡丹江能做心脏手术的消息不胫而走,各地的心脏病患者纷至沓来。小小东安医院原来门可罗雀,现在却一下子火爆起来。但刘晓程深知,即使他长出三头六臂日夜不停地手术,也远不能解决医患之间严重的供需矛盾,必须尽快培训出ー批能独当一面的心外科医生。可是,医院要钱没钱,要人オ没人才,要培养出ー批心外科医生,谈何容易?
The news that heart surgeries could be performed in Mudanjiang spread quickly. Heart disease patients all came in from all over the place. The once deserted Dongan Hospital suddenly became popular. However, Liu Xiaocheng knew that even if he had three heads and six arms and performed surgeries day and night, it would not solve the serious supply and demand imbalance between doctors and patients. They must train a group of independent and competent cardiac surgeons as soon as possible. However, the hospital had no money, no talent, and it was not easy to train such a group of cardiac surgeons.
但是,在刘晓程眼里,一切困难都不过是脚下的沙砾,人生的道路就是由诸多沙砾组成的。他ー边手把手地教年轻医生手术,ー边四处抽调人才,ー边游说各级领导筹建心血管病医院。他教诲年轻人:“你们这些人要以天下为己任,要让自己尽快成熟起来!拿破仑说,不想当元帅的士兵不是好士兵。我要告诉你们,不想超过师傅的徒弟就不是好徒弟!”
But in Liu Xiaocheng's eyes, life was bound to be full of difficulties. He taught young doctors how to perform surgery step by step, while recruiting talents and persuading leaders at all levels to build a cardiovascular hospital. He taught young people, "You must take the world as your own responsibility and grow mature as soon as possible! Napoleon once said, "A soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier." And I want to tell you that a student who does not want to surpass his teacher is not a good disciple!"

在刘晓程看来,每个人心灵深处都隐藏着ー种激情,只要你把他们心中的激情点燃,人人都会焕发出ー种不可估量的能量,只有周围的人都能充满激情地对待エ作,对待生活,才能形成一股强大的核心力,才能干出一番事业。
In Liu Xiaocheng's view, there is a passion hidden deep in everyone's heart. As long as you ignite it , he will radiate an immeasurable amount of energy. Only when those around you treat their work and life with passion can a strong core force be formed, and a great career can be achieved.
刘晓程的到来就像ー团火,点燃了死气沉沉几十年的医院,也点燃了一颗颗沉闷多年的心。大家纷纷被激励出从未有过的生机与活力。
Liu Xiaocheng's arrival was like a bonfire, igniting the hospital that had been depressing for decades, and igniting the hearts that had been depressed for years. Everyone was inspired with vitality and vigor that has never been seen before.
这里的医生从未见过心脏四联症根治术,不懂心脏换瓣,更没有见过国内只有少数医生能做的冠状动脉搭桥术。刘晓程就带领大家去电影院,趁人家放电影空隙,借用电影放映机来观看病人带来的心脏造影片子。可是,刚ー开机片子就忽然起火了,吓得放映员急忙关掉了机器。
The doctors here had never seen a complete repair for Tetralogy of Fallot, did not understand heart valve replacement, and had never seen a Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) that only a few doctors in China could perform. Liu Xiaocheng led everyone to the cinema and used the movie projector to watch the heart imaging films brought by the patients during breaks in the screenings.However, as soon as the machine was turned on, the film caught fire and the projectionist quickly turned off the machine.
原来国产造影片子放映机拉不动,ー拉就烧。他只好带着大家在观片灯下一片一片用放大镜看,边看边给大家讲解各种心脏手术,看完一个造影片子要花六七个小时。
It turned out that the domestic imaging film cannot be watched with projector which could not be pulled, and if it was pulled, the film would burn itself. He had no choice but to bring everyone to watch the films one by one under the observation lamp with a magnifying glass, explaining various heart surgeries while watching. It took six or seven hours to watch one imaging film.
为了强化医护人员的英语,在资金十分紧张的情况下,他为大家订购大量的外文书籍和期刊,请来全市最好的英语教师教大家口语。他要求医护人员平时尽量用英语对话。而且,在导师奥布来恩博士的帮助下,这所小小的大集体医院竟然派出30多名医护人员到查理王子医院留学。
To strengthen the English skills of medical staff, even in a very tight financial situation, he ordered a large number of foreign books and journals for everyone and invited the best English teachers in the city to teach everyone to speak English. He required medical staff to speak English as much as possible in their daily conversations. In addition, with the help of his mentor, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien, this small collective hospital actually sent more than 30 medical staff members to study at The Prince Charles Hospital.
刘晓程不仅重视医术,更重视全院医护人员的医德。
Liu Xiaocheng not only valued medical skills, but also valued the medical ethics of all hospital staff.
他向全院职エ提出:“假如病人是你的父母、兄弟、姐妹和孩子,你该怎样对待?”他第一次打出了“患者就是上帝”的口号。手术失败了,他和大家一起寝食无味;手术成功了,他和大家一起欢呼雀跃。为了抢救亟待输血的病人,他毫不犹豫地伸出自己的胳膊;为了一个复杂手术,他16个小时没下手术台;为了救活ー个病人,他三天三夜未合眼,晕倒在手术台上……
He proposed to the entire hospital staff: "If the patient was your parent, brother, sister, or child, how would you treat them?" He was the first to put forward the slogan "Patients were Gods". If the surgery failed, he and everyone else would lose his appetite; if the surgery succeeded, he would cheered with others. In order to save a patient who urgently needed a blood transfusion, he unhesitatingly extended his own arm; for a complex surgery, he did not leave the operating table for 16 hours; to save a patient's life, he did not sleep for three days and three nights, and even passed out by the operating table...
每当手术结束,当刘晓程向病人家属出示从他们亲人心脏上取下的病理标本, 从病人家属颤抖的双手上,从他们感激涕零的目光中,医护人员似乎读懂了人生的真谛一“人为什么活着”这个简单而复杂的命题。试想,还有什么比拯救他人的生命而使自己活得更崇高、更充实、更有价值呢?
Every time when the surgery ended and Liu Xiaocheng showed the pathological specimen taken from the patient's heart to the patient's family, the medical staff seemed to understand, from their trembling hands and grateful eyes, the truth of life ----the simple yet complex proposition of "why do we live?"
What could be more noble, fulfilling, and valuable than saving the lives of others?
刘晓程说:“有人曾说,世界上三种人是最幸福的,ー种是母亲看孩子洗澡;另ー种是大人看小孩玩沙子;最后ー种就是我们医生治好了病人。”
Liu Xiaocheng said, " Someone once said that there are three kinds of people in the world who are the happiest: mothers who watch their children take a bath; adults who watch children play in the sand; and finally, doctors who healed the sick."
一天,一位55岁的农民苦苦地哀求刘晓程救救他,说他不想死,家里上有老下有小,一大家子人都等着他呢。刘晓程却发现这位农民的心脏像篮球似的,任何搭桥术对他极度衰竭的心脏来说都无济于事了,要想拯救他的生命,只能做心脏移植。但就现状,到哪儿能弄到ー颗鲜活的心脏给ー个农民换上?
One day, a 55-year-old farmer begged Liu Xiaocheng to save him. He said he didn't want to die, and that he had a large family to support. However, Liu Xiaocheng found that the farmer's heart was like a basketball, and no coronary artery bypass grafting would work for his severely weakened heart. The only way to save his life was heart transplant. But given the current situation, where could they get a fresh heart to replace the farmer's?
也许,这位农民前世修来ー份天缘,就在这时传来ー个消息,说一名被判处死刑的杀人犯临死前良心发现,要求死后把自己的器官捐给社会。听到这个不知真假的消息,刘晓程急忙跑到看守所,费尽口舌见到了罪犯。
Perhaps the God repay this farmer for his good deeds in his past life. At that critical moment, news came that a prisoner on death row had a change of heart before his execution and wanted to donate his organs to society. Upon hearing this possibly true news, Liu Xiaocheng rushed to the prison and went to great lengths to meet the criminal.
罪犯20多岁,男性,一副心如死灰的表情。The criminal was a young man in his twenties, with a dead expression on his face.
刘晓程问他:“你真决定要把自己的器官捐给社会吗?”
Liu Xiaocheng asked him, "Are you really determined to donate your organs to society?"
青年毫无表情地点点头。
The young man nodded expressionlessly.
“你为什么要捐献自己的器官呢?”
"Why do you want to donate your organs?"
“为了赎罪……”
"To atone..."
“你不为你的决定后悔吗?”
"Don't you regret your decision?"
“有啥可后悔的,人都死了留着它有啥用!”
"What's there to regret? "I'm dying, What's the point of keeping my organs?"
刘晓程向青年伸出ー只手来,青年却迟疑着:“我手上沾满了鲜血”
Liu Xiaocheng reached out his hand to the young man, but the young man hesitated,saying "I had blood on my hands."
“我是医生,我手上也沾满了血。”
"I'm a doctor, I had blood on my hands, too."
“可你是为了救人……”
"But you're saving lives..."
“我为你感到遗憾,因为你是法盲。可我很敬佩你做出这样的决定,我要谢谢你。”
"I feel sorry for you because you are ignorant of the law. But I admire your decision, and I want to thank you."
青年疑惑地盯着刘晓程,迟疑地伸出手来握住他的手:“你……为什么要谢我?”
The young man stared at Liu Xiaocheng, looking puzzled and surprised. After a long while, he extended his hand and shook Liu Xiaocheng's hand. "Why are you thanking me?"
“因为你将拯救另外一个人的生命。”
"Because you will save another person's life."
青年用那呆滞的、走到人生尽头的目光,茫然而惊讶地望着刘晓程,久久不动。
The young man looked at Liu Xiaocheng with a dull, life-ending gaze, bewildered and surprised, and did not move for a long time.
刘晓程跟这个即将告别人世的青年成了朋友,ー连几次来探望他。临刑前ー天晚上,他还为青年设了一顿便宴。
Liu Xiaocheng became friends with this young man who was about to bid farewell to the world, and visited him several times. The night before his execution, Liu Xiaocheng held a small party for the young man.
“刘大夫,你这么把我当人,我死了也知足了。”青年满眼泪水,将杯中酒ー饮而尽。
"Dr. Liu, you treat me like a human being. Even if I die, I will die satisfied." The young man said with tears in his eyes and drained his glass of wine.
在ー个烟雨蒙蒙的清晨,刘晓程目送着青年一步ー步向刑场走去,青年留下的最后一句话是:“如果我能早点遇到你,也许不会走到今天。”刘晓程感到遗憾,他拯救过千万人的生命,唯独拯救不了这个年轻人。令他聊以自慰的是,他帮助青年实现了最后的夙愿。就在这一天,那位55岁的农民获得了第二次生命。手术做得相当成功,时间是1992年7月5日。
On a misty morning, Liu Xiaocheng watched as the young man walked step by step towards the execution ground. The last words the young man left behind were, "If I had met you earlier, maybe I wouldn't have ended up like this." Liu Xiaocheng felt regretful, as he had saved millions of lives but was unable to save this young man. But to his relief, he had helped the young man fulfill his final wish. On the same day, the 55-year-old farmer received a second chance to live through a successful surgery. The operation was done on July 5, 1992.
紧接着,刘晓程又为一名38岁的农民成功地完成了心脏移植。医护人员给两名移植心脏的病人起名叫大宝和二宝。痊愈之后,大宝和二宝戴着红袖标,为医院担任起警卫和导诊员。
Following that, Liu Xiaocheng successfully performed a heart transplant for a 38-year-old farmer. The medical staff named the two transplant recipients "Big Treasure" and "Little Treasure". After they recovered, Big Treasure and Little Treasure wore red armbands and served as security guards and guides for the hospital.
在完成心脏移植的基础上,刘晓程又完成了我国首例心、肺联合移植术,使小小牡丹江医院成为全世界能开展此项手术的五十家医院之一,使我国跻身于世界心血管外科的先进行列。国际心肺移植协会邀请牡丹江医院加入了世界心肺移植协会。
On the basis of completing a heart transplant, Liu Xiaocheng has completed China's first Heart-lung transplantation (HLTx), making the small Mudanjiang Hospital one of the fifty hospitals in the world that could perform such a operation and enabling China to advance to the forefront of the world's cardiovascular surgery. The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) invited Mudanjiang Hospital to join it.
当年,“八女投江”的故事曾为牡丹江塑造了血染的风采。而今,刘晓程又使牡丹江名声大噪。他的事迹震撼了国内外专家、学者。卫生部部长陈敏章写信表示祝贺。国外一些专家、学者纷纷向他伸出援助之手。
Years ago, the story of the "Eight Women Die a Martyr" had given Mudanjiang much reputation for patriotism. Now, Liu Xiaocheng has brought fame to Mudanjiang once again. His deeds have deeply impressed domestic and foreign experts and scholars. Chen Minzhang, Minister of the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China, sent a letter of congratulations. Some foreign experts and scholars have extended their helping hands to him.
联邦德国某厂家赠给牡丹江医院200根体外循环插管;加拿大朋友说服了加拿大政府,为牡丹江医院提供了价值240万元人民币的设备;美国10位朋友在1989年9月,顶着美国政府的压力,带着20万美元的捐赠设备专程来到牡丹江。美国慈善机构总裁麦根先生问刘晓程:“你为什么在国内国外都要牺牲自己?”
A German manufacturer donated 200 extracorporeal circulation catheters to Mudanjiang Hospital. Friends from Canada convinced the Canadian government to provide equipment worth 2.4 million yuan to Mudanjiang Hospital. In September 1989, under pressure from the US government, 10 American friends brought a donation of equipment worth $200,000 to Mudanjiang. Mr. McGin, the president of An American charity organization, asked Liu Xiaocheng: "Why do you contributing yourself both at home and abroad?"
刘晓程回答:“为了千千万万贫困的病人。”
Liu Xiaocheng replied, "For the millions of poor patients."
麦根总裁大为感动:“我来中国27次了,中国要求援助的单位很多,但我决定将你的名字放在我们名单的第一位。你缺什么尽管告诉我,我会全力支持你!”
Mr. McGin was greatly moved and said, "I have been to China 27 times, and there are many units in China that request aid, but I decided to put your name at the top of our list. Tell me what you need, and I will do my best to support you!"
5年之内,麦根总裁4次援助刘晓程价值十几万美元的药品及器材。麦根不仅亲自带器材来中国,还派儿子从美国专程飞到中国给刘晓程送器材及药品。
Within five years, Mr. McGin assisted Liu Xiaocheng four times with drugs and equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars. Mr. McGin not only brought the equipment to China himself, but also sent his son from the United States to China to deliver the equipment and drugs to Liu Xiaocheng.
澳大利亚的朋友利用假期纷纷自费飞到牡丹江,来举办讲座,与刘晓程在简陋的手术室里同台手术。临行前夜,导师和澳大利亚的朋友一定要去看看刘晓程的妻子和儿子。当看到著名心血管医生一家三口住在简陋的办公室里,他们的眼睛湿润了,紧紧地拥抱着刘晓程说:“我们还会来的!”等他们再来时,给刘晓程带来ー个惊人的好消息:经澳大利亚朋友的努力,澳大利亚国际发展援助署决定,为牡丹江医院培养专科技术人才。
Liu's friends from Australia all used their holidays to come to Mudanjiang at their own expense to give lectures and perform operations in the simple operating room with Liu Xiaocheng. On the eve of their departure, Liu’s mentors and his Australian friends insisted on visiting Liu Xiaocheng's wife and son. When they saw the old office where a famous doctor like Liu xiaocheng and his family lived, their eyes were moist, and they hugged Liu Xiaocheng tightly, saying, "We will come back!"
And when they arrived in China again, they brought Liu Xiaocheng astonishing news: with the efforts of Liu's Australian friends, the Australian International Development Assistance Bureau (AIDAB) decided to train specialized technical personnel for Mudanjiang Hospital.
江泽民说:“晓程啊晓程,你是晓得事业能够成功啊!”
1989年10月6日,对于几百万心脏病人来说,是ー个非同寻常的日子。
Jiang Zemin, 5th President of the People's Republic of China, said, "Xiaocheng, you know how to make the cause successful!"
October 6th, 1989 was an extraordinary day for millions of heart disease patients.
下午3点,应国家人事部之邀,31名海外归来的天之骄子,英姿勃发地走进了中南海小会议厅,与江泽民总书记座谈。刘晓程也在其中。
At 3:00 pm, 31 outstanding overseas returnees, invited by the Ministry of Personnel of the People's Republic of China, walked into the small conference hall of Zhongnanhai with great spirit to have a discussion with Jiang Zemin, 5th President of the People's Republic of China. Liu Xiaocheng was among them.
到牡丹江以后,刘晓程一直在为筹建心血管专科医院的巨额资金而四处奔波。尽管黑龙江省、牡丹江市领导对他大力支持,在财政十分紧张的情况下,为筹建新医院投资1000万元,但距离创建一所现代化心血管医院还相距甚远。
After arriving in Mudanjiang, Liu Xiaocheng had been working tirelessly to raise the huge funds needed to build a specialized cardiovascular hospital. The leaders of Heilongjiang Province and Mudanjiang City gave him great support and invested 10 million yuan in the preparation of the new hospital despite financial constraints, but it was still a long way from creating a modern cardiovascular hospital.
他正在为资金问题发愁,忽然接到国家人事部的邀请,请他赴京参加江总书记与留学生代表的座谈。聪明过人的他立刻意识到机会来了。所以,当江泽民总书记面带微笑地坐下来,30名留学生还沉浸在兴奋与拘谨之中,坐在前排的刘晓程却第一个发言了。
As Liu was worrying about the funding issue, he suddenly received an invitation from the Ministry of Personnel of the People's Republic of China to attend a symposium between Mr.Jiang Zemin and representatives of overseas students in Beijing. Smart as he was, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity. Therefore, when Mr.Jiang Zemin sat down with a smile, and when the 30 overseas students were still immersed in excitement and restraint, Liu Xiaocheng, sitting in the front row, was the first to speak.
“我是从澳大利亚留学归来的刘晓程,我在牡丹江东安医院工作。当年,我的导师让我留在澳大利亚,我说:中国有句老话,叫作 “儿不嫌母丑,狗不嫌家贫”。澳大利亚虽然条件优越,但并不需要我;我的国家虽然很穷,却很需要我。为了报效国家,我从澳大利亚回到祖国。为了拯救更多的心脏病人,我又从阜外医院回到了黑龙江。
"I am Liu Xiaocheng, who returned from studying abroad in Australia, and I work for Dong'an Hospital in Mudanjiang now. When I was studying abroad, my mentor once wanted me to stay in Australia, but I said there is an old saying in China that goes "A child will not dislike their mother for being ugly, and a dog will not dislike their home for being poor." Although Australia has privileged environment, they don't need me. My country, though poor, needs me. So I returned to my homeland from Australia to serve my country. And now, in order to save more heart disease patients, I returned to Heilongjiang from Fuwai Hospital.
目前,我国有三四百万心脏病人需要手术,可我们每年仅能手做1%的手术,存在着严重的供需矛盾。许多病人都在苦苦地等待着手术,可绝大部分病人一直等到死都排不上号。所以,我们计划在牡丹江创建一所心血管病专科医院。
Currently, there are three to four million heart disease patients in China who need surgeries, but we can only perform 1% of the surgeries needed each year, resulting in a serious supply-demand contradiction.
Many patients are waiting desperately for surgery, but most of them cannot get an operation in time and die waiting. Therefore, we plan to establish a specialized cardiovascular disease hospital in Mudanjiang. 今天,我请江总书记支持我,请在座的各位领导支持我,帮助我们解决资金问题! 这不是支持我个人,而是支持广大留学生报效祖国的事业,支持我们解决老百姓的疾苦!”
Today, I ask Mr. Jiang and all the leaders here to support me and help us solve the funding issue. This is not just about supporting me personally, but about supporting the undertakings of overseas students serving our country and about solving the sufferings of the people!"
“好!晓程同志讲得太好了’江泽民同志立刻赞扬道,“我就喜欢晓程说的那句话,儿不嫌母丑,狗不嫌家贫。如果中国人都像晓程同志这样,以天下为己任,那我们中国的发展就快了嘛！晓程同志,请你放心,我一定全力支持你！在座的各位也一定全力支持你!”
"Good! What Comrade Xiaocheng just said is extremely correct." Mr.Jiang Zemin immediately praised "I really like the words Xiaocheng used, 'A child will not dislike their mother for being ugly, and a dog will not dislike their home for being poor.' If all Chinese people were like Comrade Xiaocheng, taking the world as their own responsibility, then our country's development would be faster! Comrade Xiaocheng, please rest assured that you have my full support! All the leaders present will also fully support you!"
“那我代表家乡的父老乡亲谢谢您,谢谢江总书记的支持!”刘晓程急忙说道。
"Then, on behalf of the people in my hometown, I want to thank you, Mr.Jiang, for your support!" Liu Xiaocheng hurriedly replied.
会议原定两个小时,却开了 3个多小时。末了,江泽民同志握着刘晓程的手, 笑道:“晓程啊晓程,你是晓得事业能够成功啊!”
The originally scheduled two-hour meeting lasted for over three hours. In the end, Jiang Zemin shook hands with Liu Xiaocheng and said with a smile, "Xiaocheng, you know how to make the cause succeed!"
座谈会不久,国务院开会并形成会议纪要:“支持刘晓程同志创建心血管病医院,此事由李铁映和宋健同志负责。”
Not long after the symposium, the State Council held a meeting and formed minutes: "Support Comrade Liu Xiaocheng in establishing a cardiovascular hospital, and this matter is entrusted to Comrades Li Tieying and Song Jian."
第二天,《人民日报》发出消息:澳大利亚归来的留学生刘晓程,为了解决百姓疾苦,向江泽民总书记提出创建心血管医院的建议,得到江总书记的大力支持。
之后,江泽民同志在会上多次表扬刘晓程,胡锦涛同志也接见了刘晓程。
On the second day, the People's Daily reported that Liu Xiaocheng, a student returning from Australia, proposed to create a cardiovascular hospital to address the suffering of the people, and received strong support from General Secretary Jiang Zemin. Later, Comrade Jiang Zemin praised Liu Xiaocheng several times during meetings , and Comrade Hu Jintao also met with him.
得知国务院形成会议纪要的当天,刘晓程和副院长王铁林连夜起草报告,两人带着省、市各级政府的批文火速赶到北京,找宋健、李铁映同志批示,说服国家计委、科委、财政部、卫生部、物资部等各级部门的领导……
On the day that Liu Xiaocheng learned that the State Council had formed a meeting minute, he and Vice President Wang Tielin drafted a report overnight, and with the approval documents of governments at the provincial and municipal levels, they rushed to Beijing to seek approval from Comrades Song Jian and Li Tieying, and to persuade leaders of various departments such as the State Planning Commission (China), the Central Science and Technology Commission , the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Materials...
“李科长,我是黑龙江牡丹江东安医院的刘晓程。这是我们申请创建心血管医院的报告。为了解决众多被病痛折磨得走投无路、处在水深火热之中的心脏病人, 我们要在牡丹江创建一所心血管病专科医院,得到了江总书记的支持,请您也给予大力支持!您不是在支持我个人,而是在支持千千万万排不上号、住不上院的心脏病人,支持我们的兄弟姐妹,支持我们的医疗事业……”
"Director Li, I am Liu Xiaocheng from Dong'an Hospital in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang. This is our report on the proposal to establish a cardiovascular hospital. In order to solve the problems faced by numerous heart disease patients who are tormented by diseases but have no access to medical treatment, we want to establish a specialized cardiovascular hospital in Mudanjiang. We have received the support of General Secretary Jiang and hope that we can also your full support. You are not supporting me personally, but supporting countless heart disease patients who are unable to get treatment, supporting our brothers and sisters, and supporting our country’s medical cause..."
游说完科长游说处长,游说完处长再游说局长,ー个接ー个地游说,说得口干舌燥,脚上磨出了血泡,ー连几天连饭都顾不上吃。
Liu Xiaocheng lobbied the section chief, and then the department head, the bureau chief , one by one, tirelessly until he got thirsty, had blisters on his feet, and even forgetting to eat for several days.
人们常说,精诚所至,金石为开。
People often say that faith will move mountains.
他们一心为百姓解决疾苦的真诚,深深感动了所有有社会良知的人。财政部李明安司长说:“财政,财政,理财参政。这钱给谁与不给谁,就是最大的政治!你们ー心为百姓办事,我们虽然财力有限,但一定要支持你们!”
Their sincerity in solving the sufferings of the people deeply moved all those with social conscience. Li Ming'an, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, said, "Finance, namely participating in politics with financial management. The decision of whom to give money to and whom not to give money to is the biggest political issue. You have been serving the people wholeheartedly, and although our financial resources are limited, we must support you!"
中央各部委相继为牡丹江新医院筹集了 2000万资金及中央外汇。刘晓程为其换过心脏瓣膜的北京建筑设计院高级设计师潘志英同志提出:“即使不给钱也要帮刘晓程设计医院大楼。”牡丹江的群众得知新医院开办经费不足,纷纷送去钱、布匹、冰箱、彩电
Central ministries successively raised 20 million yuan in funds and foreign exchange for the new Mudanjiang Hospital. Pan Zhiying, Senior designer at the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design who had undergone heart valve replacement surgery performed by Liu Xiaocheng, suggested , "We must help Liu Xiaocheng design the hospital building even not being paid." When the people of Mudanjiang learned that the funding for the new hospital was insufficient, they sent money, cloth, refrigerators, and color TVs there immediately.
1991年7月31日,中国第二所心血管病专科医院在牡丹江市隆重开业。已经成为全国人大秘书长的曹志同志、各部委领导及黑龙江省委书记、省长都来参加典礼。当时,洪水冲垮了铁路,却没有阻挡住中外朋友前来参加开业庆典。
On July 31, 1991, the second specialized cardiovascular hospital in China was grandly opened in Mudanjiang City. Cao Zhidong,
Secretary-General of the National People's Congress, leaders of various ministries, the Secretary of the CPC Heilongjiang Provincial Committee and the Governor of the Heilongjiang Province.all attended the opening ceremony. At that time, the flood had washed away the railway, but it did not stop Chinese and foreign friends from attending the opening ceremony.
奥布来恩博士和查理王子医院院长斯太堡先生,带着刻有中澳两国地图、用红线连接两座城市以表示姊妹医院的牌匾（另ー块相同的牌匾挂在查理王子医院）及15箱医疗器材,专程来参加新医院的开业典礼。说来奇怪,数天阴雨绵绵,这天9点钟剪彩时却忽然云开雾散,艳阳高照。人们说,老天都为之感动了。
Carrying a plaque with maps of China and Australia on which a red line connects the two cities to indicate sister hospitals (another identical plaque was hung at The Prince Charles Hospital and 15 boxes of medical equipment, Dr. Mark F. O'Brien and Mr. Staub, the director of Prince Charles Hospital, came specifically to attend the opening ceremony of the new hospital. Strangely, after days of continuous rain, the clouds suddenly cleared and the sun shone brightly at 9 o'clock when the ribbon was cut. People said that even the God was moved.
刘晓程来牡丹江7年,为来自全国23个省的3000多名患者做了心脏手术,病人成活率高达98.6%;他6天内完成了 2例心脏移植,完成了中国首例心、肺移植; 他创建了中国第二所现代化心血管医院;他培养出ー批能独立操作的心外科医生; 为黑龙江省医院、哈尔滨儿童医院、哈尔滨242医院及印度尼西亚万隆医院等多家医院,培养了大批全套心血管技术专业人才。
Liu Xiaocheng has been in Mudanjiang for 7 years and has performed heart surgeries for over 3,000 patients from 23 provinces across China and the survival rate of his patients is as high as 98.6%. He completed 2 heart transplants within 6 days, including the first heart and lung transplant in China. He established the second modern cardiovascular hospital in China and trained a group of independent cardiac surgeons. He has also trained numerous cardiovascular professionals for many hospitals including the Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital, Harbin Children's Hospital, Harbin 242 Hospital, and the Bandung Hospital in Indonesia.
短短7年,千千万万个生命因他而改变了命运,因他而提高了生存质量。但是,没人知道刘晓程家庭的故事,无论是对过世的还是活着的,他都欠下ー笔永远无法弥补的人情债。
In just seven years, the fate of countless lives has changed, and their quality of life has been improved because of him. However, no one knows the story of Liu Xiaocheng's family. Liu owes a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid, to both those who passed away and those who are still alive.
1991年12月10日,处于弥留之际的母亲,用她游丝般的声音艰难地呼唤着儿子:“晓程,晓程……”老人想在离开人世前再见儿子一面。可是,此刻的晓程却东渡日本,正为建立新的双边关系而奔忙。等他赶回佳木斯,留给他的却是蒙在白单下的母亲遗容了。
On December 10th, 1991, Liu Xiaocheng's mother was dying . On her deathbed, he called out to her son with a weak voice, "Xiaocheng, Xiaocheng..." The old woman wanted to see her son one last time before she left the world. However, at that moment, Xiaocheng was in Japan working to establish new bilateral relations. When he returned to Jiamusi, he found his mother had already passed away.
“妈妈,晓程回来晚了 !晓程对不起您啊!”晓程趴在母亲遗体上痛不欲生。
"Mum, I'm xiaocheng. I came back too late! I'm sorry, Mum!" Lying on his mother's body, Xiaocheng cried out in agony .
儿子是心脏病专家,却没能为死于心衰的母亲尽一点儿カ。儿子抢救过千万人的生命,唯独没能抢救生养自己的母亲。儿子心灵深处留下了永远无法释怀的疚痛与遗憾。但是,母亲留给儿子的那张“医乃仁术,好自为之”的条幅,却像母亲那双慈祥的眼睛,永远激励着儿子,彪炳着儿子恢宏的事业,勉励着儿子永远以仁者之心对待病人。
He is an expert in heart disease but was unable to do anything for his mother who died of heart failure. He has saved the lives of millions of people but was unable to save the life of the one who had gave him life, which left him guilt and regret deep in his heart that can never be got over. However, the banner that his mother left for him,"To be a doctor is to practice benevolence" is like his mother's kind eyes, always inspiring him to pursue his magnificent career and to treat patients with kindness.
镜泊湖距离牡丹江市仅ー百多公里,那里湖光山色,景致很美。他却从没带妻儿去过。妻子在牡丹江二院眼科工作,3天一个夜班,他忙她也忙,家里弄得盆朝天碗朝地的没个家样。夜半归来,他常常看到小手小脚黑乎乎的儿子手拿吃剩ー半的面包,蜷缩在沙发上睡着了,他忙把儿子抱到床上,给孩子脱去鞋袜盖好被子, 内心酸酸的,充满了自责:“儿子,爸爸对不起你。如果真有来世,爸爸一定当个好父亲。”
Jingbo Lake is only a hundred kilometers away from Mudanjiang City, and it is beautiful there with its picturesque mountains and lake. However, he has never taken his wife and children there. His wife works in the ophthalmology department of Mudanjiang Second People's Hospital, working three-night shifts in a row. They are both busy, so their house is always messy. When he comes home late at night, he often sees his son sleeping on the sofa with a half-eaten bread in his dirty hand. He hurriedly carries his son to bed, takes off his shoes and socks and covers him with a blanket, feeling guilty in his heart, "Son, Daddy is sorry for not taking good care of you. If there really were a next life, Daddy would be a good father."
来世是虚幻的,现实オ是真实的。他的个性决定了他今生的选择,也决定了他今生的命运。
However the fact is that there is no after life at all. Liu's personality determines his choices and fate in this life.
1994年5月的一天上午,市委领导来到牡丹江心血管病医院礼堂,向全院职エ公布了一个消息:中组部发来调令,刘晓程被提拔为中国医学科学院及中国协和医科大学副院长及副校长
One morning in May 1994, the leaders of the municipal party committee came to the auditorium of Mudanjiang Cardiovascular Hospital and announced a piece of news to the entire hospital staff: The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party issued an order to promote Liu Xiaocheng to Vice President of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) and Peking Union Medical College.
全场顿时鸦雀无声,人们都像傻了一样。
The whole room suddenly fell silent, and people were stunned.
瞬间,7年来许许多多斑斓灿烂的回忆,充盈在所有人的脑海,撞击着他们敏感而脆弱的神经,全场响起一片抽泣声。这是怎样艰苦而又痛快淋漓的7年啊!
In an instant, colorful and brilliant memories of the past 7 years came to everyone's mind, hitting their sensitive and fragile nerves, and the room was filled with sobbing. What a difficult yet enjoyable 7 years it was!
春的觉醒,夏的苦斗,秋的收获,冬的拼搏。水与血的交融,不似亲人,胜似亲人,既是领导又是导师,既是情同手足的兄长,又是望“子”成龙的“严父”。因他而改变了多少人的命运,因他而拯救了多少个不幸的家庭。在人们心目中,他是一座伟岸奇绝的山峰,让人在污泥浊气中领略着圣者的风范;他又是一本内容丰富的书,令人百读不倦。然而,他却要调走了。
Awakenings in Spring, struggles in summer, harvest in autumn , and hard work in winter . The fusion of water and blood is not like family, but better than family. Liu is both a leader and a mentor, a brother with sibling-like affection, and a strict “father” who hopes for his "children" to succeed. He has changed the fate of many people and saved the lives of many unfortunate families. In people's hearts, he is a towering and extraordinary mountain peak, allowing people to appreciate the demeanor of a saint in the midst of filth and foul air; he is also a book with rich contents, which people can never get tired of. However, he has to leave now.
此刻,坐在台上的刘晓程也是泪眼朦胧。他舍不得离开这些风雨同舟的同事。全院职エ跟着他没日没夜地折腾了 7年,苦了 7年。现在刚刚好转,他却被调走了。
Liu Xiaocheng, sitting on the stage at this moment, also has tears in his eyes. He is reluctant to leave his colleagues who have gone through thick and thin with him for 7 years. All the staff in the hospital have worked tirelessly day and night with him for the past 7 years. Now, just as things were getting better, he was to be transferred.
他为职エ盖的120套宿舍刚刚收尾,托儿所刚刚动エ,他本想为职エ创造更多的福利,可是……
The construction of 120 sets of housing for the staff was just finished, and the building if the kindergarten has just started. He wanted to create more benefits for his colleagues, but...
他觉得对不住这些患难与共的同事,可他不能不听从中央的调动。
老百姓更不愿让他走。许多群众听说刘晓程被调走了,ー连几天堵在医院门口要见他……
He feels sorry for his comrades who have shared the hardships with him, but he cannot disobey the central government's transfer. The general public are even more unwilling to let him go. Hearing that Liu Xiaocheng was to be transferred, Many people even blocked the hospital gate for several days to see him...
调令来了三个月,刘晓程一直没动身。他向新接任的院长ーー交代清楚,又看着年轻弟子主刀做完了最后ー批高难手术……临走,他像导师叮嘱自己一样叮嘱弟子们:“记住,今后遇到什么困难都要告诉我,我的大门永远冲你们敞开着
Three months after the transfer order came, Liu Xiaocheng still didn’t moved. He explained everything to the newly appointed hospital director and watched as his young students completed the final batch of difficult surgeries. Before leaving, he did the same thing his mentor had done for him. He advised his students to always inform him of any difficulties they may face, and that his door will always be open to them,
动身那天,全院职エ及病人用泪水和歌声为他送行:“送战友,踏征程……革命生涯常分手……一路多保重……”
歌声中饱含着情同手足的深情,也饱含着难舍难分的悲伤。
On the day of his departure, the staff and patients of the hospital bid him farewell with tears and songs: "Farewell, comrade who will embark on a new journey...In a revolutionary career, partings are common...Take care all the way..." The songs were filled with brotherly love and deep sadness at the thought of parting.
然而,谁都没有料到,调回北京的第六个年头,2000年,刚刚51岁的刘晓程却向卫生部递交了辞呈。高官厚禄,为什么留不住他?
However, no one expected that in his sixth year of being transferred back to Beijing , the year of 2000, Liu Xiaocheng, who just turned 51 years old, submitted his resignation to the Ministry of Health. Why the high position and salary couldn't keep him ?
又像当年一样,人们对他百思不得其解:刘晓程为什么要辞职?是没有得到提拔重用,还是领导班子不和,还是想下海去赚大钱?
Just like before, people were puzzled by his decision. Why did Liu Xiaocheng resign? Was it because he didn't receive a promotion, because of conflicts with the leadership team, or because he wanted to make more money in the private sector?
这时的刘晓程已经是中国医学科学院党委书记兼副院长,管辖着协和、阜外、肿瘤、整形等六大医院,十几个国家级研究所,30名院士、2000多名教授和数万名职エ,权カ大得令人羡慕。
At this time, Liu Xiaocheng was the Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, overseeing six major hospitals including Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Fuwai Hospital, Beijing Cancer Hospital, and a plastic surgery hospital, as well as more than ten national research institutes, 30 academicians, over 2,000 professors, and tens of thousands of staff. His power was enviable.
他处事果断,一身正气,群众威望很高。他又是博士生导师。1994年,他创建了协和医院的心外科;1996年,他在国内率先使用了动脉心脏搭桥。据国外统计,静脉搭桥十年的通畅率为42%-45%,动脉搭桥为 90%—95%。他在心外科领域声誉很高。北京一些医院在心脏手术中遇到难题, 常常向他求救。
He was decisive, upright, and highly respected by the people. He was also a doctoral supervisor. In 1994, he established the cardiac surgery department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and in 1996, he was the first in China to perform coronary artery bypass graft. According to statistics from abroad, the patency rate for venous bypass after ten years is 42%-45%, while that for coronary artery bypass graft is 90%-95%. He was highly regarded in the field of cardiac surgery, and many hospitals in Beijing often sought his help when they encountered difficulties in cardiac surgery.
在他任职的6年里,工作干得相当出色,上下一片赞誉。他被评为“国家级有突出贡献的中青年专家”“全国先进工作者”“有突出贡献的回国留学人员 ” 英国剑桥和美国北卡罗来纳国际传记中心将其列入《国际知识分子名人录》《国际传略词典》等国际权威传略文献;他的事迹被拍成电视专题片《求索》《脊梁》及故事片《归国的留学生》;他被选为党的“十四大”代表……
In his six years in office, he did an outstanding job, and was highly praised by all. He was awarded "Young and Middle-Aged Experts Nationally Acknowledged for their Outstanding Achievements",
"National Advanced Worker," and "Overseas Returnees with Outstanding Contributions." He was also listed in international authoritative biographical literature such as "the International Who's Who of Intellectuals" and "Dictionary Of International Biography". His story was made into television documentaries such as Pursuit of Wonder and "Backbone," as well as the movie "Returning Overseas Students." He was also selected as a representative for The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
1995年卫生部派他到中央党校学习,参加了被人们称为“黄埔军校”的第一批省、部级学习班,该班学员大部分都被提拔到省、部级领导岗位。刘晓程也被中组部列为卫生部副部长人选。
In 1995, he was sent by the Ministry of Health to study at the Party School of the Central Committee of CPC and participated in the first batch of provincial and ministerial-level official training classes, which were called 'The Republic of China Military Academy' by people. Most of the students in the class were promoted to provincial and ministerial leadership positions. Liu Xiaocheng was also listed by the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party as a candidate for the deputy minister of the Ministry of Health.
1996年,世界卫生组织向中国要一名助理总干事,卫生部首推刘晓程,希望他能为世界卫生事业做出贡献。世界卫生组织助理总干事年薪10万美金,可以带家眷,工作地址坐落在瑞士美丽的日内瓦湖畔。刘晓程赴瑞士接受即将担任世界卫生组织总干事的布伦特兰女士的面试。布伦特兰女士让他谈谈对世界卫生组织的认识,刘晓程谈到世界卫生组织应为人类防治疾病、提高健康水平做出贡献。布伦特兰女士却问他:“你怎么看待在本组织中的男女平等问题?”
In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) requested an assistant director-general from China. The Ministry of Health recommended Liu Xiaocheng, hoping that he could contribute to the global health cause. The WHO Assistant Director-General's annual salary was 100,000 US dollars, and it allowed the employee to bring their family and work in Geneva, Switzerland, a beautiful city located on the shore of Lake Geneva. Liu Xiaocheng went to Switzerland to attend the interview by Ms. Gro Harlem Brundtland, who was going to become the Director-General of the WHO. Brundtland asked him to talk about his understanding of the WHO. Liu Xiaocheng said that the WHO should contribute to disease prevention and health improvement for humanity. Brundtland then asked him, "How do you view gender equality within this organization?"
刘晓程说:“男女平等是人类社会和各级国际组织应为之努力的永恒主题,但不是世界卫生组织所应关心的首要问题。世界卫生组织应该关心和解决危及全人类健康的迫切问题,不仅仅是本机构内职员的性别比例。”
Liu Xiaocheng replied, "Gender equality is a timeless theme that human society and international organizations at all levels should strive for, but it is not the primary concern of the WHO. The WHO should focus on and address urgent issues that threaten human health, not just the gender ratio of its staff."
生性秉直、刚直不阿的刘晓程从不会顺情说好话,更不会取悦他人。无论是在这位出身名门的挪威前首相面前,还是在美国前总统老布什面前,他都不失ー个炎黄子孙的人格与尊严。
Being naturally straightforward and uncompromising, Liu Xiaocheng never speaks something to please others, whether in front of Gro Harlem Brundtland, a former prime minister of Norway, or former US President George H.W. Bush. He always maintains his dignity and integrity as a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.
1997年,刘晓程受美国“艾森豪威尔外国高级访问学者基金会”之邀,随同中国首批30位著名中青年学者及管理者出访美国。美国为每位来访者出资4万美金,让其自定考察项目,任其在美国随便考察。说是考察,其实就是向来访者灌输美国价值观。两个月考察结束后,董事会主席老布什总统亲自出席考察结业式,并让每位来访者提ー个问题,由老布什来回答。
In 1997, Liu Xiaocheng was invited by the Eisenhower Fellowship Program to visit the United States along with the first group of 30 renowned young and middle-aged scholars and managers from China. The US government provided each visitor with $40,000 to conduct their own investigation projects and freely explore the US. This so-called investigation program was actually a way for visitors to absorb American values. After two months of investigation, President George H.W. Bush personally attended the closing ceremony and answered questions from each visitor.
刘晓程却给老布什出了道难题。他说:“总统先生,据我所知,美国年生产总值 10万亿美元,其中14. 5%用于卫生事业,但美国却有2200万国民没有医保。美国建国以来,宪法修改了 20多次,联邦宪法和很多州宪法在衣、食、住的基础上,又把教育列为基本人权。
Liu Xiaocheng posed a difficult question to President George H.W. Bush. He said, "Mr. President, as far as I know, the US has a GDP of 10 trillion dollars, with 14.5% allocated to healthcare. However, there are 22 million Americans without health insurance. Since the founding of the US, the constitution has been amended over 20 times. The federal and many state constitutions recognize education as a basic human right, along with food, clothing, accommodation and transport.
我赞同受教育权应是文明社会的基本人权,但不知总统先生如何看待教育与健康的顺位?如果教育是基本人权,那么健康更应是基本人权。没有健康,人们怎么接受教育?请问您如何看待这一问题?如何解释花这么多钱用于卫生事业,却有那么多国民得不到医疗保险问题。”
I agree that the right to receive education should be a basic human right in a civilized society, but I wonder how you, Mr. President, prioritize education and healthcare. If education is a basic human right, then healthcare should be even more so. Without health, how can people receive education? How do you explain spending so much money on healthcare and yet so many citizens still cannot access medical insurance?"
老布什向这位看上去温文尔雅却有着独立见解的中国人礼貌地笑了笑,说: “这个问题提得很好,确实是美国的实际情况。但我对卫生领域所知不多,您的问题我解答不了。很抱歉!”
President George H.W. Bush politely smiled at this Chinese scholar who is seemingly gentle yet with independent thinking, saying, "That's a very good question, and it is indeed a reality in the United States. However, I don't know much about healthcare, and I cannot answer your question. I'm sorry!"
刘晓程不但没有遭到排斥,反而成了最受欢迎的中国学者,后来成为美国“艾森豪威尔外国高级访问学者基金会”中国出访人员的考官及国际顾问委员会在中国邀请的唯一顾问。
Instead of being excluded, Liu Xiaocheng became the most popular Chinese scholar and later the examiner of the Eisenhower Fellowship Program for Chinese visitors and the only advisor to The International Advisory Committee (IAC) .
但是,布伦特兰女士不是老布什。世界卫生组织助理总干事的职位刘晓程落选了。后来得知,布伦特兰女士是一位女权主义者,但布伦特兰女士给刘晓程发来一封信,说她很敬佩刘晓程的人格和才干。
However, Ms. Gro Harlem Brundtland was not President George H.W. Bush. Liu Xiaocheng was not elected as the Assistant Director-General of the World Health Organization. It later turned out that Miss Brundtland was a feminist, but Ms. Gro Harlem Brundtland sent a letter to Liu Xiaocheng saying that she admired his personality and talent.
此刻的刘晓程,坐在中国医学科学院党委书记兼副院长的位置上,可以说要什么有什么,名誉、地位、专车、宽敞的住房,前呼后拥,风光无限,而且,只要他好好干,别出什么差错,卫生部副部长的位置在等着他呢
Now, Liu Xiaocheng is the Party Secretary and deputy director of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. He got anything he wants - prestige, status, luxury car, spacious housing, and endless admiration. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes in work, he is likely to be promoted to Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Health.
人们不禁要问:你刘晓程到底还要什么?你还有什么不满足的?你还折腾什么劲儿?
People can't help asking, "What else does Liu Xiaocheng want? What are you still not satisfied with? Why are you still strive for?"
一位政治家曾说,每个人都有自己的生存法则,只有读懂了他独特的生存法则,才能理解他人生的潮起潮落,云卷云舒;才能理解他所选择的山高路险,河流湍急。
蹉距岁月,留给他的并非都是蹉距.
A politician once said that everyone has his own way of survival, and only by understanding his unique way of survival can one understand the ups and downs of their life, and the challenges they chose.The years were not all wasted for him.
瞿秋白在牺牲前曾说:“光明和火焰从地心里钻出来的时候,难免要经过好几次的尝试,试探自己的道路,锻炼自己的力量。”
Qu Qiubai said before his sacrifice, "When light and fire drill out of the earth, they must go through several attempts to explore their path and train their strength."
ー个人的经历,决定着ー个人的情感与人生。
One's personal experiences determine their emotions and life.
1968年冬天,北国边陲黑龙江特别冷,零下42て,不少南方来的“知青”都冻坏了手脚。凌晨2点,正是老百姓称为“鬼駆牙”的时刻,在宝清县建设兵团853农场 21团一座最原始、最古老的石灰窑里,一群身穿黄棉袄的“知青”已经开始劳作了。
In the winter of 1968, it was especially cold in the northern border of Heilongjiang, reaching minus 42 degrees Celsius. Many "educated" youth from the south froze their hands and feet. At 2 o'clock in the morning, which the locals called "ghost hour," a group of "educated" youth wearing yellow cotton-padded jackets had already begun working in the most primitive and ancient lime kiln in the 21st regiment of the 853 farm of the Baqing County Production and Construction Corps.
那个年代能穿上黄棉袄是ー种荣耀,ー种革命的象征。唯有一个瘦弱的少年身穿一身黑棉袄。只见他第一个跳进刚出完石灰、滚烫的石灰窑里开始“平窑”。这种原始的石灰窑形状如同日本鬼子的炮楼,上面填石灰石和煤,下面出烧透的石灰。直径几米的上口既是进料口,又是烟囱。
In those days, wearing a yellow cotton-padded jacket was a symbol of honor and revolution. Only a thin and weak teenager wore a black cotton-padded jacket. He was the first to jump into the freshly produced lime and scorching hot kiln to start "leveling the kiln." This primitive lime kiln was shaped like a Japanese fort, with lime stones and coal piled on top and burned lime going out from the bottom. The top, with a diameter of several meters, was both the feeding port and the chimney. 所谓“平窑”,就是蹦到冒着火苗和浓烟的窑里,徒手把堆得小山似的石灰石码平。外面零下42て,窑里有五六十度, ー冷ー热,温差ー百多度。黑棉袄少年忍受着炼狱般的痛苦,拼カ码着石头。别人换班上去休息了,他却仍然继续干下去,直到把整个窑平完了,他オ筋疲カ尽地爬上窑顶。他的黑棉袄肩头蒙上一层厚厚的、汗水浸透的白花花的盐卤,刚发下来的皮手套磨出了窟窿,露出冒着血丝儿的十个指尖儿,ー碰就钻心般地疼痛。
"Leveling the kiln" meant jumping into the kiln, which was emitting flames and thick smoke, and using bare hands to flatten the pile of lime stones. While it was minus 42 degrees Celsius outside, the kiln was 50-60 degrees Celsius inside, with a temperature difference of more than 100 degrees Celsius. The teenager in the black cotton-padded jacket endured the hellish pain and worked hard to flatten the stones. While others took turns to rest, he continued to work until he leveled the entire kiln and climbed onto the top of the kiln, completely exhausted. His black cotton-padded jacket was covered with a thick layer of sweat-soaked white brine on his shoulders, and the newly leather gloves were worn out, revealing ten fingertips with blood-red blisters that throbbed with pain at the slightest touch.
苦难犹如手中的铁锤,而少年的身躯却像脚下的石头,在无数次的锤炼中变得无比坚强,就像他和战友们写在石灰窑上的《石灰吟》诗:“粉身碎骨浑不怕,要留清白在人间!”
Hardship is like a hammer in one's hand, but the teenager's body was like the stone under his feet, becoming incredibly strong after countless rounds of hammering, just like the poem "Song of the Lime" written by him and his comrades on the lime kiln: "Though broken into pieces, you will have no fright; You'll purify the world by washing it e'er white."

“文革”时期,头戴ー顶“黑五类”狗崽子的帽子,已经压得人喘不过气来,而这位少年居然戴了三顶帽子:爷爷是地主;父亲是“日本特务”兼“反动学术权威”。三次抄家,母亲被剃“鬼头”,父亲被关进“牛棚”。ー个好端端的知识分子之家,转眼就变得支离破碎了。
During the "Cultural Revolution," under the tittle of the "Five Black Categories" was already suffocating, but this teenager had three titles: his grandfather was a landlord, his father was a "Japanese spy" and “the reactionary academic authority”. After three rounds of house raids, his mother was shaved bald, and his father was thrown into the cow shed." The family, which was originally a well-established intellectual household, was suddenly torn apart.
接踵而至的打击,使高中还没有毕业的晓程感到十分痛苦。他极カ想用革命行动来证明自己是革命的,极カ想改变“黑五类”狗崽子的命运,就割破手指写成血书,强烈要求到生产建设兵团去改造自己。因为“黑五类”子女无权加入生产建设兵团,所以只能用血书自荐。然而,并非是血书起了作用,而是853农场21团宣传队需要一名手风琴手。当时能拉手风琴的凤毛麟角。少年晓程オ华横溢,聪慧过人,不仅拉一手好手风琴,还唱一手好歌。直到今天,他偶尔还会拉起心爱的手风琴唱起《三套车》呢。
A series of successive blows made Xiaocheng, who had not yet graduated from high school, feel very painful. He desperately wanted to prove himself as a revolutionary through revolutionary actions and wanted to change the fate of the "Five Black Categories". Thus, he cut his fingers and wrote a blood letter, strongly demanding to go to the Production and Construction Corps to transform himself. He could only apply through a blood letter, for the children of the "Five Black Categories" were not eligible to join the Production and Construction Corps. However, it was not the blood letter that worked, but rather the Propaganda Team of the 21st regiment of the 853 farm needed an accordionist. At that time, few people was able to play the accordion. Young Xiaocheng was talented and intelligent. He could not only play the accordion well but also sing well. Even today, he occasionally plays his beloved accordion and sings "San Tao Che".
他成了生产建设兵团里最下等的公民,一切脏活、累活非他莫属,烧石灰,打炮眼,淘粪,伐木头……然而,对ー个19岁的少年来说,更大的伤害并不是体力的透支,而是无休止的心灵打击。生产建设兵团的“知青”都是腰扎宽皮带,身穿黄棉袄,ー副准解放军的打扮,唯独他没有这个资格,他只能穿黑棉袄。853农场的宣传队员都可以载歌载舞,登台表演,唯独他一人只能躲在幕后为别人伴奏,不许登台露脸。而且有人监视着他的ー举ー动。
He became the lowest citizen in the Production and Construction Corps. All the dirty and tiring work was assigned to him, such as burning lime, handling explosives, shoveling manure, and cutting wood... However, for a 19-year-old young man, the greater harm was not the physical exhaustion but the endless spiritual blows. The "educated youth" in the Production and Construction Corps all dressed in wide leather belts and yellow cotton-padded jackets, a dress similar to that of the army, but he was not allowed to wear it. He could only wear a black cotton-padded jacket. All the members of the 853 Farm's propaganda team could sing and dance, and perform on stage, except for him who could only hide behind the scenes and accompany others, not allowed to perform on stage. And there was also someone watching his every move.
他那颗孤寂痛苦的心灵在蛮荒空旷的世界里,踽踽独行,无人为伴,找不到解脱,更找不到欢乐。
His lonely and painful heart wanders in the barren and desolate world, without companionship, unable to seek joy or liberation.
唯有一天劳动结束了,月亮升起来了,他背着自己心爱的手风琴来到郊外,尽情地拉起来。一群“知青”闻声而来,眼含泪水唱起了俄罗斯歌曲: “茫茫大草原,路途多遥远。有位马车夫,将死在草原……”歌声充满了悲凉与感伤。只有在这时,他心中的孤独与苦闷オ会随着琴声发泄出来,才能感受到人与人之间那份应有的平等与和谐。
Only when the day's work was done and the moon rose, he brought his beloved accordion to the outskirts where he could feel free to play it . Hearing the beautiful sound, a group of "educated youth" came over, singing a Russian song with tears in their eyes: "The vast grasslands, the road is long and far. A coachman is dying on the grassland..." The song was full of sadness and sentimentality. Only at this moment could he release his loneliness and frustration through the sound of the accordion, and feel the equality and harmony that should exist between people.
逆境能使人叛逆、颓废,也能使人迸发出无坚不摧的毅カ。像后来许多有成就的“知青”ー样,无论怎样艰难困苦,无论怎样受尽凌辱,他从没有气馁过。他心灵深处一直蕴藏着ー股岩浆般的激情。它渴望着喷发,渴望着人生的转机,苦苦地等待着机会。
Adversity can make people rebellious and decadent, but it can also ignite an unstoppable spirit in people. Like many successful "educated youth" later on, no matter how hard the situation is and no matter how much humiliation he had suffered, he never gave up. In the depths of his heart, a magma-like passion was always brewing. It longed to erupt and awaited a turning point in life with bitter patience.
他抓到ー切能抓到的书来读,《毛泽东选集》《国家与革命》《马克思的青年时代》……读得最多的是那本影响了几代人的《钢铁是怎样炼成的》。奥斯特洛夫斯基的那段名言影响了他一生:“人的一生应该这样度过,当他回首往事时,不因虚度年华而悔恨,也不因碌碌无为而羞耻……”
He grasped any books he could get access to, including Selected Works of Mao Tse-tung, State and Revolution, Karl Marx: The Early Years...But the one he has read the most was the book that had influenced several generations-----How the Steel Was Tempered. Nikolai Ostrovsky's famous quote influenced him for a lifetime: "The most precious thing is life and we only have life once. The person's life should be spent this way: When he looks back, he does not regret for wasted years, not because of mediocrity and shame ..."
蹉跎的岁月,没有尊严的生活,超出承受力的体能透支,把ー个天真少年抛到了人生的最底层,使他成为ー个逆境中的弱者,饱尝了底层人的艰辛与困苦,也饱尝了一个弱者的渺小与渴望,从而使他与底层百姓结下ー种深厚的、永远不可割舍的情感。
The years with camels, a life without dignity, and physical exhaustion beyond endurance, threw a naive young boy to the bottom of life, making him a weakling in adversity, experiencing the hardships and difficulties of the bottom people, as well as the smallness and aspirations of a weakling, thereby forming a deep and unbreakable emotional bond with the common people.
这段生活影响了他的一生,也决定了他的一生。
This period of life has influenced his entire life and determined his destiny.
这也是他屡屡做出惊人之举,向自己、向医疗体制提出挑战的原因之一。他的心是属于平民百姓的,任何官位与金钱都无法撼动他的初衷。
This is also one of the reasons why he has done something extraordinary again and again and challenged himself and the healthcare system. His heart belongs to the common people, and no official position or money can shake his original intention.
闪光的“琉璃塔”,却包裹着ー颗痛苦的灵魂
The shining "Glass Tower" conceals a painful soul.
艾森豪威尔曾说过这样的话:“我们切不可把短暂的人生都放在无谓的名利上,不可把浮躁和骚动强加给我们生命的宝贵时光。”
As Eisenhower once said: "We should not waste our short lives on meaningless fame and fortune, nor should we impose fickleness and turmoil on the precious time of our lives."
在刘晓程看来,中国改革开放20多年来,其他行业都在突飞猛进地发展,医疗卫生事业却一直裹足不前。老百姓看病难、手术难的根本问题没有得到解决。
In Liu Xiaocheng's view, the healthcare industry has been lagging behind in the past 20 years of China's reform and opening up while other industries have made rapid progress . The fundamental problems of difficult access to medical treatment and surgery for the general public have not been resolved.
就拿心血管病来说,全国有400多万心血管病人需要手术,每年仅能手术四五万例, 只占百分之一ニ。而且,药品层层扒皮,吃回扣,从药厂卖到老百姓手里要翻上几倍、几十倍,甚至上百倍。
Taking cardiovascular disease as an example, there are over 4 million cardiovascular patients in China who need surgery, but only 40-50,000 surgeries can be performed each year, accounting for only 1-2% of the total. Moreover, drugs are marked up layer by layer, with kickbacks being taken at each level, so the price of medicine can be several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times higher from the factory to the hands of the people.
得一次感冒,没有几百元休想治好;住一次院,没有几千元、上万元就别想出院;医生对病人开大处方,大检查;你头痛,就让你做CT,做核磁共振,说怀疑是肿瘤,你不敢不做;你嗓子痛,就给你开几百元的药;你要手术,除了支付昂贵的费用,还要给医生送红包,少则几千,多则上万……
If you catch a cold, you cannot be cured without spending several hundred yuan; if you get hospitalized, you cannot be discharged without spending several thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan. Doctors prescribe large amounts of medication and tests for patients; if you have a headache, you will be told that it might be a tumor and asked to do a CT scan and an MRI, which you dare not to refuse; If you have a sore throat, you are prescribed several hundred yuan worth of medication; If you need surgery, in addition to paying expensive medical bills, you also need to give a red envelope to the doctor, which can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.....
有的医院不愿收医保病人,因为医保是后付款,愿意收现金;不愿收疑难病患者,怕担风险。有的医院为病人做心脏造影,居然连“备皮”都不做。有的医生竟然给心绞痛病人打杜冷丁止痛。
Some hospitals are unwilling to accept patients with medical insurance because medical insurance is paid after treatment, thus they prefer cash payments; some are also unwilling to accept patients with difficult-to-treat conditions, for fear of risk. Some don't even prepare properly for patients undergoing heart imaging tests. Even some doctors give angina patients Pethidine for pain relief.
老百姓说,去医院看一次病,半夜三更去排队挂号,楼上楼下ー顿折腾,没病也气（急）出病来了。而且,中国享受医保的人数只占全国人口的8% ,92%的下岗工人、个体户、8亿农民都不能享受医保。
Patients complain that going to the hospital for treatment means queuing for registration late into the night. The constant commotion from upstairs and downstairs is frustrating, even causing illness when one wasn't initially sick. Moreover, only 8% of the country's population enjoys medical insurance, while 92% of laid-off workers, self-employed individuals, and 800 million farmers cannot enjoy medical insurance.
医生收红包已经成了极普遍的现象,成了行规,不给红包医生就不高兴,患者也提心吊胆,怕医生给自己小命“穿小鞋”。一名主刀“名医” 一年可以成为百万富翁。可想想那些穷苦农民和下岗工人,省吃俭用、卖房卖地,甚至卖血凑的一点儿血汗钱,花着昂贵的医疗费不算,还要给医生送“红包”。有的穷苦农民,卖房卖地还不够给医生送红包的呢。
It has become extremely common for doctors to receive red envelopes. Even it has become a norm. If a doctor doesn't receive a red envelope, he or she will get upset, and patients are also worried that doctors will harm them. A famous lead surgeon can become a millionaire in a year. Imagine those poor farmers and laid-off workers who have sold their houses, their land, and even their blood but could only scrape together a little bit of money. Except for the expensive medical bills, they even have to give doctors "red envelopes." Some poor farmers can't even afford to give doctors a red envelope by selling their houses and lands.
这哪是让老百姓治病,分明是让老百姓“致穷”,要老百姓的命嘛!这种不顾脸面、不顾尊严、明目张胆的索要行为,哪还是什么救死扶伤的“白衣天使”?简直就是趁火打劫的强盗!
This is not even curing patients, but making people poor and even taking their lives! This kind of shameless, dignity-ignoring, and blatant solicitation behavior is not what a "white angel" who saves lives and heals the wounded should do. Only a robber who takes advantage of people in distress would do that!
悲哀呀,我的同行们!刘晓程不禁发出悲愤的慨叹:从希波克拉底到李时珍, 古今中外,历来都崇尚医学,尊重大夫,救死扶伤从来都是有灵魂的人从事的事业。为什么到了我们这一代,却变得这般见钱眼红,这般不近人情了?
It's sad, my fellow colleagues! Liu Xiaocheng couldn't help letting out a sigh with sadness and indignation: From Hippocrates to Li Shizhen, throughout history and at home and abroad, medicine has always been revered, doctors have been respected, and saving lives and healing the wounded has always been a profession pursued by people with souls. Why has our generation become so unkind and obsessed with money ?
但是,刘晓程绝非ー个只看现象不看本质的肤浅之辈。他觉得一味地谴责医生收“红包”并不公平。几次全国人大会议都提出了医生收红包问题,可有谁透析过“红包”现象形成的原因?有谁了解过医生的付出与收获的严重失衡,以及“红包”背后所蕴藏的深刻的社会问题?
However, Liu Xiaocheng is not a shallow person who only looks at appearances and not the essence. He believes that it is not fair to simply condemn doctors for receiving "red envelopes." The phenomenon of doctors receiving red envelopes has been raised several times at the National People's Congress, but has anyone analyzed the reasons behind the "red envelopes" phenomenon? Has anyone tried to explore the serious imbalance between the doctor's efforts and rewards, as well as the profound social problem behind the phenomenon?
刘晓程认为,“红包”现象是医疗体制造成的。人所共知,早在20世纪80年代就出现了“脑体倒挂”的民谣:“搞导弹的不如卖茶叶蛋的,操手术刀的不如操剃头刀的。”
Liu Xiaocheng thinks that the "red envelopes" phenomenon is caused by the healthcare system. It is well known that as early as the 1980s, there was a folk song of misrepresentation: "Those who develop missiles are not as wealthy as those who sell tea eggs, and those who wield surgical knives are not as wealthy as those who wield barber knives."
20世纪90年代以来,改革开放使多少人富得流油,一名歌星的出场费高达几万元,甚至几十万;一个房地产开发商转眼就腰缠百万、千万,甚至上亿元;一名大权在握的官员不贪不占,也有大把大把的额外进项,更不用说那些灰色收入了。
Since the 1990s, the reform and opening up has made many people rich . The appearance fee of a singer can be as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, a real estate developer can become a millionaire or even a billionaire in the blink of an eye. Even an official in a position of power can have plenty of extra income without being greedy or taking advantage, not to mention those gray income.
可是,一位拯救他人生命的主任医师,月工资不过3000元。这个收入远远低于世界其他国家,连亚非拉一般发展中国家都不如,只高于亚洲个别社会主义国家。中国医生吃的是草,挤的却是奶。他们拿着微薄的收入,却要承担救死扶伤的天职。
However, a chief physician who saves lives earns a salary of only 3,000 yuan per month. This income is far lower than that of the rest of the world and is lower than that of the average developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and only higher than that of a few socialist countries in Asia. Chinese doctors live on meager incomes, but shoulder a heavy responsibility of saving lives and helping the wounded. 医生也是人,也要生存,也要生儿育女赡养老人,也要生活,他们为什么不能像别人ー样富起来?他们心理能平衡吗?医生收“红包”是他们兜里空,患者送“红包”是为了买安全。
Doctors are also human beings, they also need to survive, have children and support their elderly parents. Why can't they become wealthy like others? Do they think it is fair? Doctors receive "red envelopes" because of their meager income , and patients give "red envelopes" to buy safety.
刘晓程觉得,“红包”现象只是我国医疗卫生体制浮出水面的冰山一角。改革 20多年来,我国医疗卫生体制远远滞后于社会发展,存在着严重的问题。13亿老百姓对此怨声载道,600万医务工作者更是满腹牢骚。
Liu Xiaocheng believes that the "red envelope" phenomenon is only the tip of the iceberg of the problems of China's medical and health system. In the more than 20 years since the reform, China's medical and health system has lagged far behind social development and has serious problems. The 1.3 billion people in China are full of complaints about this, and the 6 million medical workers are even more dissatisfied.
他觉得,首先政府对公立医院定性不准,是建立福利型、公益型的医院,还是建立福利加公益型的医院?没有明确定性,使公立医院处于两难的尴尬境地。
He believes that first of all, the government has not properly defined public hospitals, whether they should be welfare-oriented, public-interest-oriented, or both. The lack of clarity puts public hospitals in a dilemma.
加拿大、英国、澳大利亚、新加坡等发达国家,实行全民医保,病人住院连伙食费都有补助。而我国政府对公立医院的投入,除退休职エエ资外,只够发在岗员エ 20%的エ资。院长难为无米之炊,只好向职工宣布:“你们的工资和奖金只能由你们自己去挣!”这种明显的利益驱动机制,必然导致内行哄外行、采购吃回扣、医生收“红包”、医院坑病人的局面!而且,公立医院大多都背着沉重的包袱,许多医疗单位的冗员多达三分之一。
Developed countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore have implemented Universal health coverage , with subsidies for patients' meals during hospitalization. However, the Chinese government's investment in public hospitals, apart from retirement benefits, can only covers 20% of the salaries of on-duty staff. Unable to pay the salary, hospital directors are forced to declare to their employees, "You have to earn your own salary and bonuses!" Such an obvious profit-driven mechanism inevitably leads to the situation where insiders cheat the layman, procurement involves kickbacks, doctors receive "red envelopes," and hospitals swindle patients. Moreover, most public hospitals carry a heavy burden, with up to one-third staff of medical units being redundant.

其次,政府对医疗卫生重视不够,投入太少。
Secondly, the government has not paid enough attention to healthcare and has invested too little.
按照世界健康的社会形态,政府对医疗卫生的投入应该随着国民经济的发展, 形成逐年上升的趋势,而在中国却恰恰相反,政府对医疗卫生的投入是越来越低。
According to the social norms of world health, government investment in healthcare should increase every year along with the development of the national economy. However, in China, it is the opposite.Government investment in healthcare is decreasing.
去年“非典”过后,新任卫生部部长吴仪在全国卫生工作会议上讲道:“改革开放以来,我国卫生事业费占财政支出的比重逐年下降,已由20世纪80年代的平均 3.1%下降到2002年的1.7%,大大低于发达国家,也低于大多数发展中国家。
After the SARS outbreak last year, the new Minister of the Ministry Health, Wu Yi, said in a national healthcare conference, "Since the reform and opening-up, the proportion of healthcare expenditures in the government budget has been decreasing year by year, from an average of 3.1% in the 1980s to 1.7% in 2002, which is much lower than that of developed countries and most developing countries.
2001年,在世界卫生组织191个成员国中,我国政府人均卫生投入占卫生总费用的比重居第131位。1995年,全国疾病预防控制机构的支出中,财政拨款占75. 2% ； 2002年,这ー比重下降到41.7% 。我国政府的卫生投入不适应公共卫生发展的需要。美国对医疗卫生的投入占国民生产总值的15%,加拿大占9%,日本占7%,就连许多发展中国家都远远高于中国。
In 2001, among the 191 member countries of the World Health Organization, China ranked 131st in terms of government per capita healthcare investment as a proportion of total healthcare expenditures. In 1995, government funding accounted for 75.2% of the national disease prevention and control agency's expenditures. In 2002, this proportion decreased to 41.7%. Chinese government's healthcare investment is inadequate to meet the needs of public health development. The United States invests 15% of its GDP in healthcare, Canada invests 9%, Japan invests 7%, and even many developing countries invest more than China.
而且,我国的医疗资源严重不足,却又存在着严重的浪费现象。
Furthermore, there is a severe shortage of medical resources in China, and there is also serious waste.
国家对城市建设、街道布局都有明确的规划,但对医院建设却没有统ー规划。仅北京东单地区,不足5平方公里,却设有协和、北京、同仁等三大医院。而且,中央各大部委、中央党校等单位,都建起漂亮的、配有高档医疗设施的医院（而不是卫生所）。
The country has clear planning for urban construction and street layout, but there is no unified planning for hospital construction. In the Dongdan region of Beijing alone, which is less than 5 square kilometers, but boasts three major hospitals, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing Hospital, and Beijing Tongren Hospital. Moreover, units like central ministries, the Party School of the Central Committee of CPC, have built beautiful hospitals with high-end medical facilities instead of clinics.
这些医院的利用率很低,大多都在低水平上重复。这还不够,人们正在以更快的速度在北京疯狂地建医院。按北京现有的医疗状况,每千人所拥有的床位、大夫、核磁共振等医疗设施,超过了亚洲四小龙。
These hospitals have low utilization rates. Furthermore, people are building hospitals in Beijing at an even faster rate. According to Beijing's current medical situation, the number of beds, doctors, and medical equipment, such as MRI, that per thousand people have exceeds that of the Four Asian Tigers.
但在边远地区却存在着严重的缺医少药现象。在发达国家,国家配备的医疗机构往往是塔形的,除了国家中心医院,社区要配备ー、二级医院,病人可根据病情去医院就诊,而不会出现感冒、发烧也去协和排队了。
However, there is a severe shortage of medical resources in remote areas. In developed countries, national medical institutions are usually arranged in a pyramid structure, and in addition to national central hospitals, communities should be equipped with first- and second-level hospitals. Patients can choose different hospitals based on their conditions so that they do not need to wait in line at top hospitals like Peking Union Medical College Hospital for a common cold or fever.
再次,国家没有自己的医药科エ委,国家对民族医药业支持力度不够,致使大量昂贵的洋药、洋器械涌入中国市场,大大地加重了老百姓的负担。
In addition, China lacks its own pharmaceutical committee, and the support from the government towards the traditional Chinese medicine industry is insufficient, which has resulted in a large influx of expensive foreign drugs and medical equipment into the Chinese market, significantly increasing the burden on ordinary people.
ー个进口冠状动脉球囊扩张管要上万元,ー个冠状动脉支架高达一至三万元, ー个心脏瓣膜要两万元,ー个心脏起搏器最贵的高达十几万……有人为了拿回扣, 极カ帮助外商促销,使中国的药厂被挤垮,使本来就虚高的药价越发虚高。
For example, a imported NC Traveler RX Coronary Dilatation Catheter costs over 10,000 yuan, a coronary stent costs between one to three ten thousand yuan, a heart valve costs 20,000 yuan, and the most expensive pacemaker costs over 100,000 yuan. Some people even help foreign companies promote their products in order to receive kickbacks, causing Chinese pharmaceutical factories to collapse and driving up the already inflated drug prices.
心脏病人做一次支架或搭桥,少则四五万,多则十几万。想想,中国的老百姓能吃饱肚子才几年?有的地区至今连温饱都没解决,他们怎么能消费得起这些与国情极不相称、只有发达国家才能消费的洋器材、洋药品? 一个月收入不过几百元的普通家庭,几万元对他们来说意味着什么?意味着卖房卖地、东挪西借,一家老小背上几十年的外债过日子!
A heart patient's cost for a stent or a bypass surgery ranges from 40,000 to over 100,000 yuan.Think about it, how many years can China's ordinary people get enough to eat? In some areas, they haven't even solved the clothing and food problems. How can they afford these foreign medical equipment and medicines that are extremely incompatible with China's national situation and are only affordable to developed countries? For an average family with a monthly income of only a few hundred yuan, tens of thousands of yuan means they have to sell their house, borrow from relatives and friends, and carry decades of debt so as to get by.
昂贵的药品,昂贵的器材,再加上不菲的“红包”，“三座大山”压在中国老百姓头上,有多少人被压得喘不过气来?又有多少本来就一贫如洗的家庭,雪上加霜, 越发穷得叮当响?又有多少人被疾病折磨得家破人亡?
Expensive drugs and medical equipment, along with generous red envelopes, facing this "three heavy burdens", how many people are struggling to breathe under this pressure? How many poor families are becoming even poorer? How many people have died and how many family has fallen apart from illness ?
中国有强大的国防科エ委。我们可以让火箭上天,宇宙飞船遨游太空。中国已经成为世界第一电话大国、第六经济大国、世人瞩目的军事强国,可我们为什么不能成立医药科工委,让中国老百姓享受物美价廉的国产医药产品?
China has a powerful Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. We can launch rockets into space and send spacecraft to explore the universe. Moreover, China has become the world's largest telephone country, the sixth largest economy, and a military powerhouse that attracts global attention. Why can't we establish a Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for Medicine and let the Chinese people enjoy cheep and cheerful domestically-produced medical products?
刘晓程觉得,政府对医疗卫生事业的管理,只存在自由竞争,没有宏观调控,没有形成有效的医疗保障体系。目前,农村合作医疗被挤垮,卫生防疫站形同虚设, ー些传染病又卷土重来,成为百万群众的大敌。
Liu Xiaocheng thinks that the government's management of the healthcare industry only allows free competition while lacks macro control and an effective medical security system. Currently, Rural cooperative medical scheme (RCMS) has been squeezed out, and Epidemic Prevention Station are weak or non-existent. Some infectious diseases have made a comeback, posing a major threat to millions of people.
中国的地方病防治机构大部分都已取消,而各地的地方病却仍然相当严重。中国的艾滋病人数已引起世界的高度关注,仅河南就有38个“艾滋村”。中国艾滋病的发展趋势已经到了决战临界点, 如果再控制不住,其后果不堪设想……这ー系列的问题不能不令人担忧。
Most of China's local disease prevention and control institutions have been canceled, but local diseases in various regions are still quite serious. The number of AIDS patients in China has attracted global attention, with 38 "AIDS villages" in Henan alone. The trend of AIDS in China has reached a critical point, and if it cannot be controlled, the consequences will be unimaginable. These series of problems are worrying.
刘晓程觉得,中国的医疗卫生体制是中国最滞后、最需要改革的领域之一。它就像ー辆老朽的牛车,在万马奔腾的大好形势下慢悠悠地转着,承受着老百姓怨声载道的唾骂与责怪,丝毫没有进展。几年前,曾发生过这样的事,中央政府就医疗卫生改革问题让各部委提出方案,八大部委对中国卫生体制都提出了提案,唯有卫生部本身没有提案。
Liu Xiaocheng thinks that China's healthcare system made no progress even when bearing the complaints and blames of the people. It is now one of the most backward and in urgent need of reform. A few years ago, the central government asked ministries to propose plans for medical and health care reform. The Eight Grand Ministries proposed plans for China's healthcare system, but the Ministry of Health itself did not propose any.
刘晓程觉得医疗卫生关系到国计民生,关系到国家的安全稳定,关系到老百姓生存的基本权利,关系到老百姓的生死存亡,弄不好,是要死人的。他虽然身在高位,却不是一个唯“官”是从的人。面对医疗卫生界的弊端,身为中国医学科学院党委书记兼副院长的他,觉得自己有责任、有义务向上级反映。因此,他多次向卫生部、向中央有关领导进谏。
Liu Xiaocheng believes that medical and health care is related to the national economy and well-being, national security and stability, people’s basic rights and their lives. If not handled properly, people will die. Although he is in a high position, he is not a person who only listens to "officials." Faced with the drawbacks of the medical and healthcare fields, as the Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, he feels responsible and obligated to report to the higher authorities. Therefore, he has repeatedly put forward relevant proposals to the Ministry of Health and relevant leaders of the central government.
他提出:国家应该加强对医疗卫生的宏观调控,建立明确的医疗卫生保障体系;政府对公立医院应该有明确的定性,不应把公立医院变成商业性医院,商业操作必然导致医院坑病人、医生骗患者的局面;政府应加大对医疗卫生的投入,改变目前这种远远落后于发达国家、连许多发展中国家都不如的局面。
He proposes that the government should strengthen macro-control over healthcare, establish a definitive healthcare security system; the government should have a clear definition for public hospitals and not turn them into commercial hospitals. Commercial operations will inevitably lead to problems like hospitals cheating patients and doctors taking advantage of the sick; the government should increase investment in healthcare and change the current situation that China's healthcare far behind developed countries and even many developing countries.
国家穷,没有那么多资金投入,可以增加吃、喝、玩、乐等娱乐业及房地产暴利的税收,用来解决国民的医疗卫生问题;国家应该成立医药科エ委,支持民族医药业的发展。医疗卫生的改革是“ 一把手的工程”,只有中央政府高度重视,痛下决心,从上而下地进行改革,中国的医疗卫生才能真正启动改革机制,才能改变老百姓看病贵、手术难的现状,才能造福于百姓,将纳税人的钱返回到纳税人身上。
If a country is poor and short of funds, it can increase taxes on profiteering industries like entertainment industries that focuses on eating, drinking, and relaxing and real estate industries so as to solve the healthcare problems of the people. A Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for Medicine should be established to support the development of ethnic medicine. Healthcare reform is a " A High Priority Project". Only when the central government attaches great importance, makes a painful decision, and carries out top-down reforms can China's healthcare truly start the reform mechanism, change the current situation of expensive medical treatment and inaccessibility to surgeries, benefit the people, and return taxpayers' money to taxpayers.
高度的社会责任感强烈地呼唤着他、驱使着他,使他ー次次做出了非同寻常的惊人之举。
The strong sense of social responsibility strongly calls for him, driving him to make extraordinary and amazing feats again and again.
2000年4月28日,身为中国医学科学院、中国协和医科大学党委书记、副院长、副校长的刘晓程,同中国医学科学院、中国协和医科大学院长和校长ー起,联名向主抓医疗卫生的国务院副总理上书,向副总理当面反映原卫生部某领导“抵制卫生系统教育管理体制改革;对卫生领域的科技体制改革能拖就拖;任人唯亲,不公平正派;沽名钓誉;搞非组织活动;对违法乱纪者姑息养奸,使中国医学科学院和协和医科大学体制改革无法进行”等诸多问题。
As Party Secretary and Deputy director of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Vice President of Peking Union Medical College, Liu Xiaocheng, together with presidents of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, jointly wrote to
Vice Premier in charge of medical and health care, reporting to him in person about the ideological style problems of some former leader in the Ministry of Health such as "resisting the reform of the education management system in the healthcare system, delaying the reform of the scientific and technological system in the medical and health field, cronyism, unfairness, fishing for fame and compliments, engaging in non-organizational activities, and tolerating and conniving with malfeasants, which have made it impossible for the system reform of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College to proceed".
他们在信中最后写道:“如果XX X 部长这样对待中国的卫生事业又得不到限制和纠正,我们二人唯一的选择是共同愤然辞职,以谢天下!”
In the letter, they wrote, "If Minister XX continues to treat China's health care system in this way and fails to be restricted and corrected, our only choice is to resign as an apology to the world!"
刘晓程对副总理直言不讳地讲道:“有些人不是以天下社稷为己任,而是’唯上唯书不唯实’。长此下去,中国的医疗卫生事业非毁在这些人手里不可!中国的医疗事业已经到了非改革不可的时候了!”
后来发生的ー系列事情,充分证明了他的正确性。
Liu Xiaocheng spoke frankly to the Vice Premier: "Some people do not take the country and the people as their own responsibility, but only focus on their own interests. If this continues, China's healthcare industry will be ruined by these people! China's healthcare industry has reached a point where reform is necessary!"
Subsequently, a series of events proved his words.
2003年,中国爆发了震惊世界的“非典”,令中国政府及国人猛醒。卫生部部长被撤职。“非典”过后,政府亡羊补牢,增加投入,但仍然没有从根本上解决问题。多少有识之士发出强烈呼吁:“中国爆发’非典’是偶然中的必然。中国必须加强医疗体制的改革!”
In 2003, China experienced the shocking "SARS" epidemic, which awakened the Chinese government and people. The Minister of the Ministry of Health was dismissed from his position. After the SARS epidemic, the government increased investment to address the problem, but the issue was not fundamentally resolved. Many insightful individuals appealed strongly: "The SARS outbreak in China was inevitable accident. China must strengthen the reform in healthcare system!"
2003年12月17日,《参考消息》转载美国《时代》周刊一篇题为《世界卫生组织官员认为中国公共卫生系统需要改革》的文章写道:“联合国1998年的调查发现,中国贫困线以下的人口中,不少人因为曾经生过ー场大病致贫”，“全国4000个基层防疫中心要自己提供50%以上的预算,而在其他多数国家,类似机构都是由国家出资”，“许多在毛泽东时期已经基本得到控制的传染病现在又重新抬头,肺结核、乙肝等传染病现在又开始扩散。
In December 17, 2003, "Reference News" reprinted an article from the US magazine Time titled "WHO Officials Believe China's Public Healthcare System Needs Reform". The article stated that "In 1998，an UN investigation found that many people living below the poverty line in China fell into poverty because they had suffered from serious illnesses", "4000 grassroots epidemic prevention center in the country have to provide more than 50% of their budget themselves, while in most other countries, similar institutions are funded by the state", "many infectious diseases that had been largely controlled during the Mao Tse-tung era have now resurfaced, and diseases such as tuberculosis and hepatitis B are now spreading again."
现在中国有5%的人是乙肝病毒携带者,而在美国只有1%。世界卫生组织2000年的ー份报告显示,191个成员国中,中国的医疗体系排名第144位,落后于印度尼西亚和孟加拉。中国卫生部统计显示,去年中国有81万人感染了血吸虫病,几乎比1988年增加了一倍”，“在中国的所有国际组织都发出了明确信号:中国的公共卫生系统需要改革。但是迄今为止,我们还没有看到任何回应。”
In China, 5% of the population are carriers of the Hepatitis B virus, compared to only 1% in the United States. According to a report by the World Health Organization in 2000, China's healthcare system ranked 144th out of 191 member countries, behind Indonesia and Bangladesh. According to statistics from The Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China, last year 810,000 people were infected with schistosomiasis in China, nearly doubling the number in 1988. "All international organizations in China have sent a clear message: China's public health system needs reform. But so far, we have not seen any response."
2003年,国务院颁布了《突发公共卫生事件应急条例》《中医药条例》《医疗废物管理条例》《乡村医生从业管理条例》……
In 2003, the State Council issued Regulation on the Urgent Handling of Public Health Emergencies, Chinese Medicine Ordinance, Regulations on the Administration of Medical Wastes, Regulation on the Administration of the Practice of Rural Doctors, and more.
温家宝总理上任不久就说:“要把群众看病贵、看病难的问题当作本届政府的ー项重要工作。”
Premier Wen Jiabao said shortly after taking office: "Treating the high cost of medical treatment and difficulty of seeing a doctor as one of the key tasks of this government."
这一切,都印证了刘晓程三年前的呼吁。但在当时,他提出的许多建议、多次进谏,都在毫无反馈的时光中无声无息地消失了。他只能发出无奈的感叹:“难哪！医疗界的改革太难了！”
All of this confirms Liu Xiaocheng's appeal three years ago. However, at that time many of his suggestions and proposals received no response. Helplessly, he could sigh : "It's difficult to promote reform in the medical community.
邓小平同志曾说过:“经济体制改革必须和政治体制改革同步。”中国医疗体制的改革必须涉及政治体制改革。这远远不是ー个刘晓程所能改变的。
Comrade Deng Xiaoping once said: "Economic system reform must be synchronized with political system reform." The reform of China's healthcare system must involve political system reform, which is not something that Liu Xiaocheng can change.

他感到自己虽然坐在中国医学科学院党委书记兼副院长的位置上,但他仍然是棋盘上的ー个小卒。尽管他使出浑身解数,可他瘦弱的肩膀仍然推不动这部陈旧的机器,因此陷入难以名状的苦闷之中。他觉得自己下过乡,当过“黑五类”,饱尝过蹉駝岁月之磨难,也留过洋,受过中央总书记接见,与美国总统座谈过,大荣大辱都领教过,到了这把年龄,一切都看淡了 ,唯独看不淡的是那份为人为医的天职。
He felt that even though he sat in the position of the Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, he was still a small pawn on the chessboard. Despite his best efforts, his weak shoulders were still unable to move this outdated machine, thus he fell into an indescribable state of depression. He was once set down to the countryside, being labeled as the "Five Black Categories" and endured the hardships of life. He had also studied abroad, met with the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and had discussions with the President of the United States. At this age, he had become indifferent to everything, except for his unwavering dedication to the medical profession.
古语说,不为良相则为良医。他觉得中国的医疗改革,任重而道远,自己已经 51岁了,再这样耗下去实在耗不起,与其整天在文山会海、接来送往的繁杂琐事中空耗生命,莫不如趁自己还有足够的体力和精力,做点儿カ所能及的事,为中国的卫生事业闯出一条新路,为饱受病痛折磨的心血管病人带来一点儿福音,也算不枉活一生。自己瘦弱的肩膀既然推不动事业的发展,就下去建一所梦想中的医院,用实际行动去为老百姓造点儿福吧。
As the old saying goes, if one cannot become a good prime minister, one should become a good doctor. Liu felt that the healthcare reform in China was a long and arduous task. But he is already 51, he could not afford to waste any more time on endless paperwork and trivial matters. Instead of wasting his life on these things, he wanted to use his remaining strength and energy to do something he could, to find a new way for China's healthcare system and bring some good news to the patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases. It would not be a waste of life if he could build his dream hospital with his weak shoulders, and bring benefits to the common people through his practical actions.
2000年12月31日,当人们沉浸在新千年到来的喜悦之中,一个知天命之人却站在新旧千年的交叉路口上,迎着扑面而来的千年之风,向卫生部正式提出:第一辞去一切官职,第二要求提前退休。因为只辞职不退休,还要受人事制度约束,不能随便离开单位易地工作。
于是,他再一次向自己、向传统观念、向医疗体制发出了挑战。
On December 31, 2000, while people were immersed in the joy of the arrival of the new millennium, a person who understood his destiny stood at the crossroads of the old and new millenniums, facing the strong wind of the new century and proposing to the Ministry of Health that he asked for resignation from all his official positions, and requested an early retirement. Because if he only resigned without retiring, he would still be constrained by the personnel system and could not easily leave his unit for work elsewhere.
Thus, he once again posed challenges to himself, traditional concepts, and the healthcare system.
从中央到下属的各级组织,纷纷向他发出挽留与恳谈。但,一切努力都是枉然。领导和员エ们,为他举行了盛大的告别宴会。
Organizations at all levels, from the central to the subordinate, sent him requests to stay and pleas to reconsider. However, all efforts were in vain. As a result, the leaders and employees had to hold a grand farewell party for him.
临走前,他把所有的荣誉证书付之一炬。帮他收拾东西的党办主任看到这么多国家级的荣誉证书化为灰烬,十分心疼,几次呼喊着从火堆里抢出来:“哎呀,这是全国先进工作者证书,烧了多可惜呀「’
Before leaving, he set fire to all his certificates of honor. The Director of the Party Office who helped him pack saw so many national-level certificates turn to ashes, feeling heartbroken. He had tried several times to save them from the flames, shouting " Oh my God, this is the certificate for national advanced worker, it's such a pity to burn it! "
刘晓程却说:“留着它有什么用?过眼烟云,什么都没用了。”他只让党办主任留下ー个蓝色医疗证;这个留着,等我得大病的时候用。”
But Liu Xiaocheng said, "What's the use of keeping them? It only belongs to the past and now it's useless." He only let the Director of the Party Officekeep the blue medical certificate, saying, "Keep this, I'll use it if I get seriously ill."
无官一身轻,万岁老百姓。
Without any official position, he is now free as a common people.
2001年元月,ー个挣脱了体制束缚、摆脱了功名利禄、打碎了世俗桎梏的人, 迎着新千年的曙光,气宇轩昂地走出了办公室,目送他的是一片惋惜而又充满敬佩的目光……
In January 2001, a man who had broken free from the shackles of the system, freed himself from fame and fortune, and shattered the shackles of convention, walked out of his office under the dawn of the new millennium. Everyone watched him away with regret and admiration...
在当今这物欲横流的世界里,有几人能够抵住官位的诱惑,又有几人能挡住金钱的吸引?反之,为金钱和官位折腰,甚至断送性命的人,却如雨后春笋,屡禁不绝。相比之下,我们不能不为刘晓程超凡的人生境界而赞美、而叫好,而献上一束鲜花了。
In today's world of materialism, how many people can resist the temptation of official positions, and how many can resist the lure of money? On the contrary, people who bow to money and power, for which some even cost their lives, are as common as mushrooms after rain, and are difficult to eradicate. In comparison, we cannot help praising and applauding Liu Xiaocheng's extraordinary life state, and offer him a bouquet of flowers.
我可以丢掉一切,唯独丟不下病人
"I can give up everything, except for my patients,"
刘晓程说:“我上辈子可能欠别人的太多,这辈子来偿还了。” 他从澳大利亚留学归来时,就梦想有一天在中国的土地上创建一所世界一流的心血管病医院,让国人也享受世界一流的医疗服务,从而实现自己“博爱、济贫” 的抱负。
Liu Xiaocheng said, "Maybe I owed someone too much in my previous life, and I have to repay it in this life." When he returned from studying in Australia, he dreamed of building a world-class cardiovascular hospital in China so that the Chinese people could enjoy world-class medical services and realize his ambition of "Universal Love and charity."
然而,岁月沧桑,花开花落,梦想一直还是梦想,转眼年过半百,但他心中的梦想并未因时光的流逝而泯灭。辞官以后,他决心要实现这个梦。他很快就遇到了知音,天津市委、市政府,天津开发区管委会的几位领导全力支持他提出的宏大构想一在天津经济技术开发区（英文字头缩写TEDA,简称“泰达”）创建一座世界一流的国际心血管病医院。
However, time passed, flowers bloomed and withered, and the dream remained a dream. As he turned fifty, his dream had not been extinguished by the passage of time. After resigning from his official position, he was determined to realize this dream. He soon found a kindred spirit, and several leaders of the Tianjin Party committee, Tianjin People's Government, and the Administrative Committee of Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (abbreviated as TEDA) fully supported his grand idea of building a world-class international cardiovascular hospital in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (abbreviated as TEDA) .
企盼十几年的梦,终于可以实现了。
After more than a decade of anticipation, the dream can finally come true.
52岁的他,完全沉浸在实现梦想的兴奋中。就像14年前到牡丹江一样,他以超人的精力,火一般的激情,率领几十名职エ,ー边借天津开发区医院的房舍开展心脏手术,ー边创建心血管病医院。
At the age of 52, Liu is completely immersed in the excitement of realizing his dream. Just like 14 years ago when he went to Mudanjiang, he led dozens of medical professionals with his superhuman energy and fiery passion to perform heart surgeries on the premises of the Tianjin Development Area Hospital, while establishing the cardiovascular hospital
“这两年是空前的辛苦,却是空前的欣慰厂’这是刘晓程最深切的感受。
“These two years have been extremely hard, but also extremely fulfilling," This is the deepest feeling of Liu Xiaocheng.
2002年10月末的一天傍晚,秋风瑟瑟,凉意袭人。从天津塘沽狭窄的火车站ロ走出一位憔悴不堪的中年农民,怀里抱着骨瘦如柴的妇女。他们从牡丹江上车坐了二十几个小时的硬座,他足足抱了她二十几个小时。
On a windy and chilly evening in late October 2002, a haggard middle-aged farmer with a thin, emaciated woman in his arms walked out of the narrow Tanggu railway station in Tianjin. They had been on a hard-seat train for over twenty hours from Mudanjiang, and he had been holding her for over twenty hours.
这妇女患有严重风湿性主动脉瓣、二尖瓣双瓣膜心脏病,已属晚期,心衰三度,不能行动,体重不足38公斤。她的生命就像秋风ー样盘旋在细若游丝般的呼吸中,随时可能飘走。十几年来,他们倾家荡产跑了好多家医院,最大的收获就是那份沉甸甸的、被宣判死刑的病历……这次,他们终于打听到刘晓程的下落,就怀着最后ー线希望千里迢迢跑来找他。
The woman suffered from severe rheumatic mitral and aortic valvular heart disease in the late stages, with Third degree heart failure and inability to move, and weighed less than 38 kilograms. Her life was so vulnerable as if she would pass away at any moment. They had spent their life savings and visited many hospitals over the past decade, but what they got was the heavy and death-sentence-like medical records. This time, they finally found out where Liu Xiaocheng was, and came to him with their last hope after traveling a long distance.
中年农民抱着妻子ー出站口,有人迎了上来:“请问你们是从牡丹江来的吧? ”
“嗯哪。你是……”中年农民不觉ー愣。
A middle-aged farmer holding his wife was greeted at the station exit: "Are you from Mudanjiang?"
"Yes, we are. And who are you?" The middle-aged farmer was surprised. “我是刘院长派来接你们的。”在电话里得知病人不能行走,刘晓程派孔祥荣主任开车来接他们。
"Director Liu sent me sent to pick you up.”Upon learning that the patient could not walk, Director Liu Xiaocheng sent Doctor Kong Xiangrong to drive to pick them up.
ー听是刘院长派车来接自己,这对走投无路、连卧铺都买不起的农民夫妇来说,实在受宠若惊,眼里顿时泪花闪闪。
Hearing that Director Liu sent a car to pick them up, the farmer and his wife, who were penniless and couldn't even afford a sleeper ticket, were overwhelmed with gratitude and tears filled their eyes.
可是,面对被多家医院宣判死刑、随时可能死去的重患,面对刚刚起步、还没有拿到心脏手术正式批文的开发区医院的有限条件,这个手术到底做还是不做?重大的抉择考问着刘晓程,也考问着与他共同创业的全体职エ。
However, facing the critically ill patient who had been declared terminally ill by multiple hospitals and could die at any time, and facing the limited conditions of the hospital, which had just started and had not yet obtained the official approval for heart surgery, whether to do the operation or not became a major decision challenging Liu Xiaocheng and all his colleagues with whom Liu started the business.
做,失败了,对刘晓程、对刚刚起步的事业的负面影响是不可低估的;不做,找个借口将病人推出去,等待病人的只有一个字:死。而且病人的病情容不得半点儿拖延。
If they did it but failed, the negative impact on Liu Xiaocheng and the fledgling hospital would be immeasurable. If they didn't do it, and made an excuse to refuse the patient, the patient would only face one fate: death. And the patient's condition couldn't tolerate any delay.
有过无数次类似经历的刘晓程,丝毫没犹豫,手ー扬,命令道:“准备手术「’这是刘晓程一贯的作风。
Liu Xiaocheng, who had countless similar experiences, didn't hesitate for a moment. He moved his hand and commanded, "Prepare for surgery." This was Liu Xiaocheng's usual style.
10月27日,天津市卫生局组织专家来评审开展手术的条件,答应下周一（10 月31日）发批文。但病人的病情已无法再拖,刘晓程恳请卫生局领导和专家组,破例批准他先手术后补批文。他为病人高度负责的精神感动了大家,默许他“违法” 于次日进行手术。
On October 27th, the Tianjin Health Bureau organized a panel of experts to evaluate the conditions for performing the surgery and promised to issue the approval on the following Monday (October 31st). However, the patient's condition could no longer be delayed. Liu Xiaocheng pleaded with the leaders of the health bureau and the expert group to make an exception, allowing him to perform the surgery before the approval was granted. His sense of responsibility for the patient moved everyone, and they silently allowed him to "break the law" to perform the surgery the next day.
麻醉师是借的,体外循环医生是借的,手术室护士长是现请来的……
The anesthesiologist was borrowed and so was the extracorporeal circulation doctor , and the operating room chief nurse was newly hired.
10月28日9点,全院职エ聚集在手术室门口,一双双沉重的目光,默默地目送着病人进了手术室……这是医院的第一例心脏手术,大家都知道这次手术成败的分量。对全院来说,她不仅是一条生命,而且是ー个开端。从上午9点一直到深夜 23点,ー连!4个小时,全院职エ的心都一直悬着。
At 9 o'clock on October 28th, all the hospital staff gathered at the entrance of the operating room, silently watching the patient enter the operating room with heavy hearts. This was the hospital's first cardiac surgery, and everyone knew the weight of its success or failure. To the hospital, she was not just a life, but also a beginning of this new hospital. From 9 am until 11 pm, for a total of 14 hours, the hearts of all the hospital staff were hanging in suspense.
ー个濒临死亡的灵魂一直徘徊在无影灯下。刘晓程要为病人心脏实施主动脉瓣、二尖瓣双瓣膜替换术,而且由于病人肝功能极差,渗血不止,无法关胸。23 ：15, 死神终于退却,手术获得了极大成功。
A soul on the brink of death lingered under the shadowless lamp. Liu Xiaocheng had to perform double valve replacement of aortic and mitral valves. on the patient's heart. Additionally, due to the patient's poor liver function and continued bleeding, he couldn't close the chest. At 23:15, the Grim Reaper finally retreated, and the surgery was a great success.
10月28日从此成为泰达国际心血管病医院的纪念日---为了纪念ー个普通农妇的新生,也为了纪念救死扶伤精神在国际心血管病医院永远发扬光大。
October 28th became the commemoration day of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH), to commemorate the rebirth of an ordinary farmer woman and to perpetuate the spirit of saving lives and helping others in the hospital forever.
术后,8名医护人员对病人日夜轮流监护。病人没有毛衣,护士长车慧将自己的毛衣送给她;医生护士每次打饭都多打ー份,给买不起饭菜的病人丈夫。
数天后,病人痊愈出院了。农民夫妇握着刘晓程的手久久泣不成声,末了说道:“俺们这辈子报答不了你,只能等下辈子报答了「’
After the surgery, eight medical staff took turns to monitor the patient day and night. The patient had no sweater, so the head nurse, Che Hui, gave her own sweater to her; the doctors and nurses always ordered an extra portion of food for the patient's husband who couldn't afford
meals.A few days later, the patient recovered and was discharged. The farmer couple held Liu Xiaocheng's hand and wept for a long time, saying, "We cannot repay you in this lifetime, we can only repay you in the next."
如果不是遇到刘晓程,如果不是医院为她免去两万多元的医疗费用,如果不是全体医护人员对他们关怀备至,这对濒临绝境的农民夫妇,很难说会走到哪ー步。
If it weren't for Liu Xiaocheng, if it weren't for the hospital waiving their medical expenses of over 20,000 yuan, and if it weren't for the caring attention of all the medical staff, it's hard to say where this farmer couple on the brink of desperation would have ended up.
刘晓程任心外科医生25年,手术8000多例,不知经历过多少这样的事情。患者的感谢信多得数都数不清。老抗联战士、黑龙江省老省长陈雷同志赠给他一幅牌匾,刻着“晓界生死,程接古今”八个大字。
Liu Xiaocheng has been a cardiothoracic surgeon for 25 years and has performed over 8,000 surgeries. He has experienced countless similar situations, and he has received numerous letters of gratitude from patients. The old veteran of the Anti-Japanese War and former governor of Heilongjiang Province, Comrade Chen Leitong, presented him with a plaque inscribed with the words" Xiao Jie Sheng Si, Cheng Jie Gu Jin"
但,刘晓程不是神医,在拯救濒危病人的手术中也有失败的时候。
However, Liu Xiaocheng is not a miracle doctor. There were also times when he failed to save endangered patients during surgery.
一名23岁的年轻人两年前在某医院做了心脏肿瘤切除,但术后效果不佳,又复发了,生命垂危。一家三口苦苦哀求刘晓程为其做心、肺移植术。刘晓程深知这种手术风险极大,成功率极低,尤其这种晚期肿瘤加上第一次手术已形成广泛粘连的病情,更增加了手术的风险。
Two years ago, a 23-year-old young man underwent heart tumor removal at a certain hospital, but the postoperative effect was not good and it recurred, putting his life in danger. His family begged Liu Xiaocheng to perform a heart and lung transplantation for him. Liu Xiaocheng knew very well that the risks of such an operation were extremely high and the success rate was very low, especially in this late-stage tumor case with extensive adhesion resulting from the first surgery, which further increased the risk of surgery.
但不做心、肺移植,病人必死无疑。做,也可能生, 但没有十分把握。如果失败了,他也可能因此而名誉扫地,可他必须竭尽全力去做,这是他做人的准则。
However, if the patient didn't receive the heart and lung transplantation, he would undoubtedly die. If he did it, he might live, but there was no absolute certainty. For Liu Xiaocheng, if he failed, he might lose his reputation, but he had to do his best, which was his principle as a human beings.
“我不敢保证他能活,但我会尽全力。”他坦诚地告诉病人家属。
"I cannot guarantee that he will survive, but I will do my best," he told the patient's family.
手术那天,小伙子面带微笑向亲人告别,看来他心里做好了各种准备。
On the day of the surgery, the young man smiled and said goodbye to his relatives, as if he had prepared himself mentally for all kinds of outcomes.
手术进行了十几个小时,很遗憾,死神还是夺走了年轻人的生命。遗体已经装上车了,家属却坚决不走,必须要见刘院长,谁劝都不听。
The surgery lasted for more than ten hours, but unfortunately, the angel of death still took the young man's life. The body had already been loaded onto the vehicle, but the family insisted on seeing Director Liu, and no one could persuade them to leave.
大家都为刘晓程捏了一把汗,以为家属要找他算账,就说:“刘院长,你可要挺住啊!”
Everyone was nervous for Liu Xiaocheng, thinking that the family was going to hold him accountable, saying "Director Liu, you must hang in there!"
刘晓程却说:“没什么挺不住的,我们尽力了ド’
However, Liu Xiaocheng said, "There's nothing I can't handle. We did our best."
没想到,死者父母见到刘晓程却扑通一声跪下了,拽都拽不起来。
Unexpectedly, the parents of the deceased knelt down as soon as they saw Liu Xiaocheng and couldn't be pulled up.
“刘院长啊,我儿子上手术台前一再叮嘱我,说他死了也要我来谢谢您!”死者父亲握住刘晓程的手,悲恸欲绝,“刘院长啊,我替我儿子来向您道谢了。您为他尽カ了!”
"Director Liu, my son repeatedly told me before he went into surgery that even if he died, I had to thank you in person !" The father of the deceased held Liu Xiaocheng's hand, grieving and thanking him, "Director Liu, I am here to thank you on behalf of my son. You did your best for him!"
此情此景,催人泪下。不是为了生者,而是为了告慰死者,来感谢一位并没有救活死者的医生。
The scene was so emotional that it brought tears to everyone's eyes. It wasn't for the living, but to console the dead by thanking a doctor who tried his best but still failed to save the patient.
“我很遗憾,没能救活他。”刘晓程的声音沙哑,他已经耗尽了体力与精力。
"I'm sorry I failed to save him," Liu Xiaocheng's voice was hoarse, he had already exhausted his physical and mental strength.
“刘院长您千万别这么说,您已经尽力了。我儿子死而无憾了！”
"Don't say that, Director Liu. You did everything you could. My son passed away without any regrets!"
没过几天,这位名叫郑铭长的死者家属将一幅写着“仁心仁术除疾患,全心全意为患者。柳叶神术冠天下,济世丹心惠众生”的牌匾,送到了刘晓程面前。
A few days later, the family of the deceased, named Zheng Mingchang, presented a plaque to Liu Xiaocheng with the words ""With compassion and skill, he cures illnesses, dedicating his whole hearts to patients. As a remarkable expertise,Liu Xiaocheng is renowned worldwide, and his benevolent spirit benefits all beings."
死者家属给医生送牌匾,在当今的医疗界,谁曾听说过?
Who has ever heard of a family of the deceased giving a plaque to a doctor in today's medical community?
中国的老百姓已经够苦了, 我们还是为老百姓积点儿德吧!
The Chinese people have suffered enough, let's accumulate some virtue for them!
与刘晓程一起共事的人都承认,刘晓程的精力过人,工作效率更惊人。
Those who worked with Liu Xiaocheng all recognized that he had extraordinary energy and astonishing work efficiency.
2002年3月28日,新医院破土动エ,不到一年半,2003年9月26日,投资7.2 亿、亚洲最大、占地11万平方米的泰达国际心血管病医院,在天津经济技术开发区举行隆重的开业典礼。
On March 28, 2002, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new hospital was held. In less than a year and a half, on September 26, 2003, the TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH), which cost 720 million yuan, was opened with great ceremony in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area.
这座设有600张病床,集医疗、教学、科研与康复四位一体的心血管病医院,是天津经济技术开发区继摩托罗拉、丰田、雅马哈、雀巢、三星等3700家企业之后,又ー家令世界瞩目的企业。
This cardiovascular hospital, which has 600 beds and integrates medical treatment, teaching, research, and rehabilitation, is the latest world-renowned enterprise to settle in the zone after 3,700 other companies such as Motorola, Toyota, Yamaha, Nestle, and Samsung.
卫生部副部长朱庆生同志在开业典礼上宣读了吴仪的贺信。信中写道:“心血
管病是人类健康和生命的主要杀手之一。我国现有400万心血管病人等待手术, 而全国每年仅能完成4万多例。泰达国际心血管病医院的建成,将为改善我国心血管病的治疗做出贡献,给广大心血管病患者带来福音……”
At the opening ceremony, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Health Zhu Qingsheng read out a congratulatory letter from Wu Yi, which reads "Cardiovascular disease is one of the major killers of human health and life. There are currently 4 million cardiovascular disease patients in China waiting for surgery, while just over 40,000 surgeries can be completed per year in the whole country. The construction of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) will contribute to improving cardiovascular disease treatment in China and bring good news to cardiovascular disease patients..."
这所世界一流的医院,是刘晓程的理想、意志与追求的完美体现,它处处充满了人文关怀。医院里刻着刘晓程一生的座右铭“博爱济世”。走廊里,装有防止病人摔倒的软包扶梯;住院处设有病人休息的阳光室;宽敞、舒适的病人家属等候区, 摆有沙发、茶几、大型薄屏彩电……
This world-class hospital is a perfect reflection of Liu Xiaocheng's ideals, will, and pursuits, and it is full of humanistic care everywhere. The hospital bears Liu Xiaocheng's lifelong motto "Universal Love and Alleviating Suffering". The corridors are equipped with soft package escalators to prevent patients from falling; the admission office has a sunny room for patients to rest; the spacious and comfortable patient family waiting area is furnished with sofas, coffee tables, and large thin-screen color TVs...
病人可以享受高档的“总统”病房,也可以享受 50元一天的二人普通病房。所有病房都配有日本原装多功能床、电话、小型薄屏彩电、卫生间、热水、纯净水、中央空调,医院还设有咖啡厅、商业街、花店、贵重物品存放处、24小时快餐厅、商务中心、屋顶儿童乐园。
Patients can enjoy the high-end "presidential" ward or the standard double ward for 50 yuan per day. All rooms are equipped with Japanese multifunctional beds, telephones, small thin-screen color TVs, bathrooms, hot water, purified water, central air conditioning, and the hospital also has a café, shopping street, flower shop, valuables storage, 24-hour fast food restaurant, business center, and rooftop children's playground.
医院配有世界最先进的各种检测、治疗心血管疾病的高科技仪器:双梯度核磁共振、十六排CT、ECT、平板式数字减影心导管机、三维实时成像彩色В超……还有一台病人不用穿刺动脉做心脏造影,就可以确诊有无心脏病的世界第三台、欧亚第一台电子束СТ。
The hospital is equipped with the world's most advanced high-tech instruments for detecting and treating cardiovascular diseases, such as dual-gradient nuclear magnetic resonance, 16-row CT, ECT, flat-panel digital subtraction angiography machines, and real-time 3D imaging color ultrasound... There is also the third machine in the world and the first in Eurasia that can diagnose heart disease without the need for arterial puncture.
在这儿,病人不用端着大小便到处找化验室,医院特为他们设立了可以传递标本的特殊卫生间。化验室设有全自动条码扫描、运送、分检、离心、取样的检验线,按一下电钮,就通过自动物流系统传到化验室,医生可以通过信息系统随时看化验结果。全院看不到胶片和纸张,这是中国真正的数字化医院。
Here, patients do not need to carry their bodily waste to different laboratories for testing. The hospital has special bathrooms where specimens can be sent for testing. The laboratory has fully automated barcode scanning, transportation, sorting, centrifugation, and sampling lines. With just a press of a button, the specimens are sent to the laboratory through an automatic logistics system, and doctors can view the results at any time through the information system. The hospital is truly digitalized, and there are no films or papers visible throughout the hospital.
刘晓程以院长身份公开向社会承诺:“国际心血管病医院对每种疾病将实行公开、透明的每收费限价,保证收费低于医保部门核定的单病平均收费标准,保证以优质的服务为广大群众解除疾苦。坚决杜绝吃回扣、收红包、大检查、大开方的各种不正之风!”
As the hospital's director, Liu Xiaocheng publicly promised to society that "TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) will implement transparent pricing for each disease and ensure that the charges are lower than the single-disease average charge standard set by the medical insurance department. We are committed to relieve the suffering of the people with high-quality services. We will firmly put an end to the unhealthy tendency such as kickbacks, red envelopes, excessive examinations, and over-prescription!"
医院规定,对请不起专家的贫困病人,将主动为其安排专家,而专家的报酬将在医院的二次分配中解决,与病人交费不挂钩。
The hospital stipulates that for poor patients who cannot afford specialists, the hospital will proactively arrange specialists for them, and the specialists' remuneration will be solved through the hospital's second distribution, which is not related to the patients' fees.
医院对各种医疗设备及药品全部实行公开竞价招标。由于对厂家压价压得太低,厂家推销员拖着哭腔说:“刘院长你压得也太狠了,还让我们厂家活不活?”
The hospital adopts open competitive bidding for all medical equipment and drugs. Due to the low price pressure on manufacturers, sales representatives from the companies even pleaded with tearful voices, saying, "Director Liu, you're pressing us too hard. Will our company still survive?"
刘晓程却说:“你还是考虑让老百姓活不活吧!这些仪器和耗材的价钱,最后都要压到老百姓头上。中国的老百姓已经够苦了,卖房卖地来看病。我们还是为老百姓造点福吧!我们ー不要回扣,二不需要培训。你把压到老百姓头上的虚高价钱压到最低,看我们能不能接受?”
However, Liu Xiaocheng replied, "You should consider more about the common people ! The prices of these instruments and consumables will eventually be paid by the common people. Chinese people have already suffered too much. They sell houses and land to seek medical treatment. Let's bring more benefits to the common people! We don't want kickbacks, and we don't need training either. You need to push down the inflated prices that paid by the common people and see if we can accept them."
王铁林是刘晓程的大学同窗,曾与刘晓程共同创建了牡丹江心血管病医院,是刘晓程的金兰之交。这次得知刘晓程又要创建国际心血管病医院,王铁林毅然辞去珠海中山大学第五医院院长之职,到这担任行政副院长,跟刘晓程一起创建这所医院。
Wang Tielin, Liu Xiaocheng's university classmate and a close friend, had previously co-founded the Mudanjiang Cardiovascular Hospital with Liu Xiaocheng. Hearing Liu Xiaocheng decide establish an international cardiovascular hospital , he resigned from his position as the director of the fifth affiliated Hospital Sun Yat-sen University without hesitation and then join this new hospital as the deputy dean, working together with Liu Xiaocheng to establish it.
这位中国医院建设和装备学会副秘书长兼《中国医院建设和装备》杂志副总编,在中国医疗建设方面享有很高的声誉。这次建筑国际心血管病医院,创造了包括开办费在内每平方米6000元的最低成本,以及利用不到一年半时间建成一座大型现代化医院的世界纪录。
Wang Tielin, serves as the Deputy Secretary-General of the China Association of Medical Equipment Hospital Architecture and Equipment Branch and the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Chinese Hospital Architecture & Equipment magazine, enjoying a high reputation in the field of medical construction in China. During the construction of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH), he achieved the lowest cost per square meter, including start-up expenses, at 6,000 yuan, and set a world record by completing a large-scale modern hospital in less than a year and a half.
在购置设备的竞价中,刘晓程和王铁林一个唱红脸,ー个唱白脸。刘晓程思维敏捷,口才雄辩;王铁林性格内向,沉稳多思。两人对西门子、飞利浦等几十个商家单兵教练,轮番轰炸,让商家分头单独报价,从上午一直唇枪舌剑到第二天凌晨 4点。
During the bidding process for equipment procurement, Liu Xiaocheng and Wang Tielin played different roles. Liu Xiaocheng was quick-thinking and eloquent, while Wang Tielin was introverted and thoughtful. They took turns pressuring dozens of vendors, including Siemens and Philips, bombarding them to provide separate quotations. This intense negotiation lasted from morning till 4 a.m. the next day.
商家从未见过这样的院长,人家都是趁机想大捞一把,他俩却分文不要。商家不得不被院长的人格所折服,最后以令人咂舌的低价成交:一台全功能手术台从 18万降到10万,刘晓程还向厂家白要了两台； 700张日本原装全功能病床以2. 5折成交,还白送两套总统电动轮椅;一台西门子呼吸机要价4万美元,最后以1.9万美元成交。
The merchants had never seen a director like this before. Others would take advantage of the situation to make a big profit, but these two didn't want a single cent. The merchants couldn't help but be impressed by the director's integrity. In the end, they made an astonishing deal: a fully functional operating table was reduced from 180,000 to 100,000 yuan, and Liu Xiaocheng even managed to get two additional ones for free from the manufacturer. They also negotiated a deal for 700 original Japanese fully functional hospital beds at 2.5 times below the original price and received two sets of presidential electric wheelchairs for free. A Siemens ventilator was originally priced at $40,000, but it was finally sold at $19,000.
三天三夜,成交了 !.8亿元人民币的仪器和设备。
In just three days and three nights, instruments and equipment worth 180 million yuan were successfully procured.
在这里,病人不用给医生送红包,医生绝对不敢拿你的小命“开玩笑”。刘晓程不仅率先垂范,而且公开宣布:“那些被红包喂肥了的’专家’,技术再好也不能登上我们搭的舞台,因为我们的薪水填不满他们的欲壑!救死扶伤的事业是有灵魂的人从事的事业,没有同情心的人是不能从事这种职业的!如果发现哪个医生收红包,将立刻开除!”
In this hospital, patients do not need to give doctors red envelopes, and doctors would never dare to make fun of people’ lives. Liu Xiaocheng not only sets an example himself but also announces, "Those 'experts' who have been fattened by red envelopes, no matter how skilled they are, will never step into our hospital because our salaries cannot fulfill their insatiable desires! The mission of saving lives and providing medical care is a pursuit of those with a soul. Those without compassion cannot engage in this profession! If any doctor is found accepting red envelopes, they will be immediately dismissed!"
早在牡丹江心血管病医院,曾发生过这样的事。刘晓程发现一名弟子多次向病人索要钱物,多次批评屡教不改。最后一次,病人借钱给弟子买了两条烟。刘晓程得知此事后对弟子说:“你不配做我的弟子,我们从此断绝师徒关系！但我给你找条出路,送你到北京中日友好医院去进修!”弟子哭了,一再认错。
Similar things have occurred in the Mudanjiang Cardiovascular Hospital. Liu Xiaocheng discovered that one of his students repeatedly extorted money and items from patients, despite repeated criticisms and admonishments. In the final instance, the patient borrowed money to buy the doctor two cigarettes. Upon hearing that, Liu Xiaocheng said to his mentee, "You are unworthy of being my mentee, and our teacher-student relationship ends here! However, I will find a way for you and send you to China-Japan Friendship Hospital.|
刘晓程却愤然道:“病人连手术费都交不起,天天吃窝头！你竟然去搜刮病人的救命钱,你还有良心吗?你不配当医生!”两人从此断绝了师徒关系,但仍然是朋友。
Liu Xiaocheng angrily retorted, "The patient can't even afford the surgery fees and has to eat plain buns every day! And yet you should extort money from for them, do you have any conscience left? You're not worthy of being a doctor!" From then on, their mentor-mentee relationship was severed, but they remained friends.
刘晓程对国际心血管医院的全体职エ讲道:“大家都得挣钱养家糊口,这是生存的需要。但别忘了我们手中操着他人的性命,我们不能昧着良心赚黑钱！我要让你们有尊严,有人格,合法地通过劳动获得应得的报酬！而不能收受红包,让老百姓骂我们是毫无人性、毫无自尊的白眼狼!”
Liu Xiaocheng spoke to all the staff at TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH), "Everyone needs to earn a living, to support their families and that’s the basic need of survival. But let's not forget that we hold people's lives in our hands. We can't earn dirty money without conscience! I want you to have dignity, and to receive fair compensation for your labor in a legal way. We can't accept red envelopes and let the people call us heartless, self-respectless wolves!"
但在当今,不正之风猖獗,职业道德沦丧,孔方兄主宰一切的现实中,不少人对刘晓程的做法感到不可思议。有人甚至提出非议:“他是为了赚大钱オ提出辞职的。这所国际医院一定有他的股份,要不他オ不会下那么大气力呢!”
However, nowadays. Corruption is rampant, professional ethics are lost, many people find Liu Xiaocheng's actions unbelievable. Some even criticized him, saying, "He resigned just to make big money. He must have shares in this international hospital; otherwise, why would he put in so much effort?"
刘晓程却淡然一笑,快言快语道:“我要想赚钱还不容易吗!我可以去国外,也可以去‘走穴‘,一年赚个几百万不成问题!何必要什么股份?再说,这是政府投资的非营利性公立医院,没有我刘晓程一分钱。
Liu Xiaocheng smiled lightly and said bluntly, "If I wanted to make money, wouldn't it be easy? I could go abroad or do some freelance work, earning millions yuan easily in a year. Why would I need shares? Besides, this is a non-profit public hospital invested by the government. I don't have a penny invested.
钱是身外之物,生带不来,死带不去,要那么多有什么用?人各有志。我感兴趣的不是钱,而是建医院。如果需要, 我可以再建几所这样的医院,这就可以大大缓解心脏病人看病难的问题了。我オ不在乎别人说什么呢。谁愿意说谁说,事实会证明一切!”
Money is something outside of me; it can't buy health or rebirth and can't be taken away when we die. What's the point of having so much money? Everyone has their own goals. I'm interested in building hospitals instead of money. If needed, I can build more hospitals like this to greatly alleviate the problem of heart disease patients struggling to get medical treatment. I don't care what others say and the facts will prove everything!"
这些年来,刘晓程一直在自我牺牲,在国内国外都是这样。正因为他的牺牲, 从而改变了多少病人及家属的命运?正因为他的牺牲,又改变了多少医生的命运? 他的弟子遍布广东、厦门、大连、北京、牡丹江等许多城市,他们都成了当地心外科的顶梁柱。协和医院的副主任医生苗齐、泰达国际心血管病医院的心外科主任孔祥荣,都是刘晓程手把手带出来的弟子。
Over the years, Liu Xiaocheng has been self-sacrificing, both when he was at home and abroad. It is because of his sacrifice that the destinies of countless patients, their families and doctors changed . His students are spread across many cities, including Guangdong, Xiamen, Dalian, Beijing, and Mudanjiang, and they have all become the backbone of local cardiovascular surgery departments. Miao Qi, the Deputy Chief Physician at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and Kong Xiangrong, the Director of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) are both students personally trained by Liu Xiaocheng.
刘晓程决心把这所国际心血管病医院建成一座技术现代化、管理科学化、人员素质高能化的世界一流的医院,把它办成一所深受百姓信赖、收费合理、真正救死扶伤的医院。因此,必须有一个卓越的专家群体,有一批优秀的管理人才。
Liu Xiaocheng is determined to transform this international cardiovascular hospital into a world-class hospital with advanced technology, scientific management, and highly skilled personnel and one that is trusted by the people, with reasonable fees, and genuinely saves lives and helps the injured. Therefore, it is necessary to have an excellent group of experts and a team of outstanding management personnel.
他以自己独特的人格魅力,吸引了国内外大批致カ于救死扶伤事业的有识之士及医学界的精英。他的研究生同窗、麻醉专家薛玉良,心内科专家熊鉴然,心内科专家齐向前,放射专家朱杰敏,他手把手教出来的大弟子、心外科专家孔祥荣,超声专家黄云洲,受聘于沙特阿拉伯皇家医院手术室护士长的车慧……ー批“海归”骄子及医学专家纷纷舍弃高额的薪水,投奔到刘晓程麾下。
With his unique charisma, he has attracted numerous visionary individuals and medical elites from both domestic and international backgrounds who are dedicated to the cause of saving lives. Xue Yuliang, his former post-graduate classmates and also an anesthesia expert; Xiong Jianran, a cardiology expert; Qi Xiangqian, a cardiology expert; Zhu Jiemin, a radiology expert, as well as Kong Xiangrong his top student and also a cardiothoracic surgery expert, and Huang Yunzhou, an ultrasound expert are just a few examples. Many "overseas returnees" and medical professionals have forsaken high salaries to join Liu Xiaocheng's team. Che Hui, who was appointed as the head nurse of the operating room at a royal hospital in Saudi Arabia, is one of them.

“刘院长身上闪光的东西激励着我们,呼唤着我们,使我们心灵深处蕴藏的美好理想被激发出来,燃烧起一股干事业的热情。他的人格魅力就像一双红舞鞋,跟他在ー起就像着了魔似的,即使累得筋疲カ尽也心甘情愿。”
"Liu Director's shining qualities inspire us, calling out to us, igniting the beautiful ideals hidden deep within our souls and fueling a passion for accomplishing great things. His charisma is like a pair of red dancing shoes, and being with him feels like being under a spell. Even if we are exhausted, we willingly embrace it."
“刘晓程的品格光彩照人,他是时代的楷模。我佩服他的学识和胆量,更佩服他不媚上,不卑下,处处为老百姓着想的品格。”
"Liu Xiaocheng's character shines brightly, and he is an exemplar of our time. I admire his knowledge and courage, but more importantly, I admire his integrity of always considering the well-being of the common people."
“我来这里不是为了来挣钱,而是为了实现ー个医务工作者的人生价值,为了刘院长提出的博爱、济世的抱负。我喜欢这里纯洁、简单、没有内耗的人际关系,エ作起来痛快!”这是投奔者的心声,也是对刘晓程的评价。
"I came here not to earn money but to fulfill the life value of a medical professional, to fulfill Director Liu's vision of Universal Love and Alleviating Suffering. I love the pure, simple, and harmonious interpersonal relationships here. It feels refreshing to work in such an environment!" This is the voice of the followers of Liu Xiaocheng, and it is also their evaluation of him.
一次聚餐,精明干练的护士长车慧向刘晓程敬酒,风趣地说:“院长,我们每个人都擎起一片天,就会托起你这轮太阳。你这太阳的光芒再回照到我们身上,我们将永远跟国际心血管医院在ー起!”
During a gathering, the capable head nurse, Che Hui, raised her glass to Liu Xiaocheng, humorously saying, "Director, if each one of us holds up a piece of the sky, we will support you as the sun. When your sunlight shines back on us, we will always be with the TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH)!"
是的,刘晓程把博爱、济世的阳光洒向医院的每ー个角落,洒向每一位患者和职エ。患者没钱回家,他悄悄掏钱塞给患者;全院号召献血,他第一个伸出胳膊;医院新调来职エ,他为他们安排好大到住房、孩子上学,小到煤气、冰箱等一切日用品,乃至一把门锁……有人说,刘晓程是一座纵览群山的高峰,迎风斗雪,奇绝险峻。有人说,他是虚怀若谷的大丈夫,内心坦荡,豪情万丈。
Indeed, Liu Xiaocheng spreads the sunlight of Universal Love and Alleviating Suffering to every corner of the hospital, illuminating every patient and staff member. When patients have no money to go home, he discreetly gives them money. When the hospital is called upon to donate blood, he is the first to extend his arm. When new staff members arrive, he arranges everything for them, from accommodation and enrollment of their children to daily necessities like gas, refrigerators, and even a door lock. Some say that Liu Xiaocheng is a towering peak, braving snow and wind, awe-inspiring and perilous. Others say he is a magnanimous man with a broad heart, open-minded and full of passion.
但是,人生总有遗憾,刘晓程最愧疚的是对不住亲人。他不止一次地说:“如果真有来世,我什么都不干,一定做个好父亲、好丈夫、好儿子厂’
However, in life, there are always regrets, and Liu Xiaocheng's greatest regret is not being able to fulfill his duties to his loved ones. He has said more than once, "If there truly was an afterlife, I would do nothing but be a good father, a good husband, and a good son."
今生今世他是永远做不到了。在北京工作的妻子,对拼命三郎的丈夫永远牵着ー颗心,因为他也是个心脏病患者。她对他的奢望不高,只希望他活着,只要他活着就好
In this lifetime, he can never achieve that. His wife, who works in Beijing, always carries a worried heart for her hardworking husband because he himself is also a heart disease patient. Her expectations for him are not high; she simply hopes that he stays alive, as long as he is alive, everything is good.
为了尽孝,刘晓程把90岁高龄的父亲接到天津开发区。尽管近在咫尺,他也只能隔三岔五打个电话,个把星期闪电式地看一眼风烛残年的老父亲罢了。
In order to fulfill his filial duty, Liu Xiaocheng brought his 90-year-old father to the Tianjin Development Area Hospital. Despite being close by, he could only call him occasionally and visit his elderly father for a brief moment every couple of weeks.
采访者变成患者,明天我将走上手术台
I am an interviewer, Tomorrow I will receive an operation.
也许,这就是天意。
Perhaps, this is fate.
我和刘晓程来自同一座城市,但并不相识。2003年10月8日,佳木斯准备出一本报告文学集,朋友邀我来写刘晓程,这オ第一次结识他。
Liu Xiaocheng and I are from the same city, but we didn't know each other. On October 8, 2003, Jiamusi was preparing to publish a collection of reportage, and a friend invited me to write about Liu Xiaocheng. That was the first time I met him.
我也是个心脏病患者,2003年9月做了心脏支架,但术后感觉一直不好。采访时,我请刘晓程看看我做心脏支架造影的片子。他和几位专家会诊后告诉我,说我心脏除了支架部位还有六处病变,最严重的部位已经堵塞了 90%,随时可能发生心梗,要想彻底解决心脏问题,必须搭五至六个桥,建议我尽快做搭桥手术。
I am also a heart disease patient. In September 2003, I had a Heart Stent Implantation, but I had been feeling unwell since the surgery. During the interview, I asked Liu Xiaocheng to review my cardiac stent imaging film. After consulting with several experts, he told me that my heart had six additional lesions besides the stent area. The most severe blockage had reached 90%, and I could have a heart attack at any time. To completely resolve my heart problems, I needed to undergo bypass surgery to graft five or six vessels. He advised me to have surgery as soon as possible.
Chapter Nine
听到这番话,我完全惊呆了,悲哀与绝望一下子把我吞没了。想想啊,ー个拳头大的心脏除了支架部位,居然还有六处堵塞。这哪还是什么心脏,简直是ー只破筛子啊!令人费解的是,一个月前我刚刚做完支架,当地医生说我心脏还有两处堵塞,但短时间内不会发生危险,他们并没有告诉我这么严重啊!而且,不单是对疾病与死亡的恐惧,还有导致这场疾病的原因带给我的委屈与愤慨,远比疾病带给我的痛苦更加令我难以承受。
Upon hearing these words, I was completely stunned. Grief and despair engulfed me in an instant. Just imagine, a small heart should have six additional blockages besides the stent area. What kind of heart is this? It's more like a broken sieve! It's bewildering that just a month ago, after having the stent placed, local doctors informed me of only two blockages in my heart, assuring me that there was no immediate danger. They didn't disclose the severity to me! Not only am I afraid of the disease and death, but also the injustice and indignation caused by the factors leading to this illness, which is far more unbearable than the pain inflicted by the disease itself.
我父母都没有心脏病,都是七八十岁オ过世。而我这个国家一级速滑运动员出身的作家,身体一直很棒,精力充沛过人。我先生总是亲切地叫我“活兔子”。
Neither of my parents had heart disease and they both passed away in their seventies or eighties. As a writer with a background as a national-level speed skater, my health had always been excellent, and I had an extraordinary level of energy. My husband affectionately called me an "energetic rabbit."
我曾孤身ー人赴俄罗斯、乌克兰、韩国、比利时、荷兰等好多国家采访,连战火纷飞的车臣都去过。我一生都坚持锻炼,2000年冬天,每晚还游泳1000米呢。可是三年后的今天,我竟然变成了一个亟待拯救的心脏病重患。这个极大的落差实在令我无法接受。
I had traveled alone to various countries for interview, including Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, and even the war-torn Republic Of Chechnya. I I have been exercising all my life. In the winter of 2000, I even swam 1,000 meters every night. But today, three years later, I have turned into a critically ill heart patient in desperate need of salvation. This tremendous contrast is truly something I cannot accept.
我知道,这完全是因为创作《盖世太保枪口下的中国女人》那部电视剧造成的。长时间的过度疲劳,加上屡遭侵权与伤害,接连打了三起官司,我受不了那种投告无门、欲哭无泪、长达数年的摧残与折磨,得了严重心脏病。
I know that all of this is entirely due to the creation of the TV series A Chinese Women at Gestapo Gunpoint. Prolonged excessive fatigue, coupled with repeated infringement and harm, and three consecutive lawsuits, I couldn't bear the torment and devastation of being helpless, on the verge of tears, for several years, which led to severe heart disease.
当时,眼看着自己自费赴欧洲采访、呕心沥血三年的作品被他人夺走,谁能不玩命地抗争啊?可现在ー想,与生命相比,一部电视剧又算得了什么?三起官司都赢了,又怎能弥补我生命的巨大损失?那些侵权事件只不过是我生命之旅一段令人唾弃的游戏,应该把它扔进垃圾袋,让它永世不再打扰我的宝贵人生了 !
At that time, seeing my self-funded trip to Europe for interviews and the three years of painstaking effort being taken away by others, who wouldn't fight desperately? But now, when I think about it, what does a TV series matter compared to life itself? Even though I won all three lawsuits, how can it make up for the enormous loss in my life? Those infringement incidents were nothing more than a despicable game in my life. They should be thrown into the garbage bag, never to disturb my precious life again!
当一个人濒临死亡,她对生命的诠释与理解,跟以往有着截然不同的含义。
When a person is on the brink of death, their interpretation and understanding of life will be completely different.
可是,人生最大的悲哀莫过于清醒过来已近黄昏,一切都悔之晚矣。
However, the greatest sorrow in life is to wake up when dusk is approaching and realize that it is too late for regrets.
我本来是来采访的,现在却成了亟待拯救的病人。这种极大的落差几乎把我击倒了。
I initially came here for an interview, but now I have become a patient in desperate need of salvation. This tremendous contrast almost knocked me down.
我觉得生命随时可能离我而去,可我还有多少创作计划没有实施,还有多少美好人生没有享受啊?我是那么热爱生活,热爱创作,热爱人生,现在,这颗破碎的心却跟我过不去了。我对刘晓程说:“我オ60岁,正是创作的黄金时代。我不要多, 再给我15年就行。我太爱创作了。”
I feel that I might die at any moment, but I still have so many creative plans to be fulfilled and so many years of beautiful life to be enjoyed. I have such a deep love for life, for creation, for living. Now, this broken heart is causing me so much pain. I said to Liu Xiaocheng, "I'm only 60 years old, which is the golden age of creation. I don't need much, just give me another 15 years. I love creating too much."
刘晓程却说:“把你那颗破碎的心交给我吧。15年太保守了,你准备再创作20 年吧。”
But Liu Xiaocheng said, "Give your broken heart to me. Fifteen years is too conservative. How about preparing to create for another 20 years?"
我知道他在安慰我。
I know he is comforting me.
刘晓程找来内科副主任林文华医生当我的“保健医生”,并给林主任下了“死令”,要他指导我用药,必须保证在我术前不发生意外。
Liu Xiaocheng sought Dr. Lin Wenhua, the associate chief physicians of the Department of Internal Medicine, to become my "care physician." He issued a "death order" to Dr. Lin, instructing him to guide my medication and ensure that no accidents occur before my surgery.
我觉得刘晓程这个人物太难得了,在当今医疗界实属凤毛麟角。我决定把这篇报告文学写完再手术,我要向约稿的朋友有个交代,万一我没有走下手术台那就遗憾了。我要告诉那些像我ー样徘徊于生死边缘的心脏病同胞:中国有这样一位院长,有这样一所医院
I feel that Liu Xiaocheng is an extraordinary individual, a rare gem in today's medical community, so I decide to finish writing this report literary work before the surgery. I want to fulfill my commitment to my friends who commissioned the work. It would be regrettable if I couldn’t survive the surgery. I want to let those who, like me, hover on the brink of death know that in China, there is such a excellent director like him, and there is a wonderful hospital like the TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH).
于是,我揣着这颗破碎的心,忍受着随时发生的心绞痛,用我顽强之笔,蘸着生命之墨,竭力撰写着这篇报告文学。我每天都如履薄冰般地走在生命的边缘,很怕ー不小心踩重了,踩碎了十分脆弱的生命,使我过早地陷入死亡之谷。
So, carrying this broken heart, enduring the angina that could strike at any moment, dipping my resilient pen into the ink of life, I am diligently composing this report literary work. Every day, I walk on the edge of life as if treading on thin ice, afraid that one wrong step will crush the fragile life and plunge me prematurely into the valley of death.
从此,一向活泼、开朗、奔放的我,一向与歌声和笑声相伴的我,却再也不能从心底发出笑声了。我曾试图用美国总统罗斯福的名言擦拭我心灵的泪:“将死亡视为不可逃避的平常事实而加以接受,便可以永远地解脱对死亡的恐惧。”
From that moment on, I, who used to be lively, cheerful, and unrestrained, always accompanied by songs and laughter, can no longer let out laughter from the depths of my heart. I tried to wipe away the tears in my soul with the famous quote of U.S.President Roosevelt, "Accept death as an unavoidable fact, and you can be forever freed from the fear of death."
我也曾试图用创造人类奇迹的科学家霍金的痛苦来稀释我的痛苦,用他的意志来坚强我的意志。但我却发现,我不是一位伟人,我只是ー个平凡的作家。一向自诩无比坚强、任何苦难都不曾使其低头的我,原来如此脆弱,如此不堪ー击。生命原来如此脆弱。
I also attempted to alleviate my pain with the suffering of the scientist Hawking, who created miracles for humanity, and strengthen my will with his determination. However, I discovered that I am not a great figure; I am just an ordinary writer. I, who always boasted of being immensely strong, never bowing down in the face of any hardship, turned out to be so fragile, so vulnerable. Life is indeed so fragile.
傍晚,我和先生漫步在海边,看潮起潮落,听渔歌唱晚,看美丽的タ阳西下,倾听他人的欢声笑语,而我却只有忧伤和叹息。万家灯火照不亮我阴暗的心,强劲的海风吹不散我心头的愁绪。然而,不管有多么痛苦,我都必须接受这个残酷得令人绝望的现实。这就是命运。
In the evening, my husband and I strolled along the beach, watching the ebb and flow of the tide, listening to the fishermen's evening songs, and watching the beautiful sunset. I heard the joyous voices and laughter of others, while I could only feel sad and sighs. The myriad lights of the households couldn't illuminate my darkened heart, and the strong sea wind couldn't dispel my melancholy. However, no matter how painful it was, I had to accept this cruel and despairing reality, this is fate.
在这段时光里,我深切地感受着一个人对于生命的强烈渴望,感受着病人渴望医生来拯救自己生命的殷切企盼,感受着任何人都无法排遣的无望与悲怆,也感受着一个人徘徊于生死边缘的孤独与无助。
During this period of time, I keenly felt the intense longing for life that one person possesses, experienced the fervent hope of a patient yearning for a doctor to save their life, felt the hopelessness and sorrow that no one could dispel, and also experienced the loneliness and helplessness of lingering on the brink of death.
我体会着400万心脏病同胞所遭受的、任何语言都无法描述的痛苦煎熬。而我只需要煎熬几个月,可那400万同胞却要煎熬几年,十几年,甚至一直煎熬到死。那是怎样ー种漫长而绝望、痛苦而无助的煎熬啊?
I understood the indescribable suffering endured by four million heart disease patients. While I only had to endure for a few months, those four million patients had to suffer for years, even decades, until their death. What an agonizing, prolonged, hopeless, and painful ordeal it must be!
我的心脏病同胞们,我太理解你们了 !
My fellow heart disease patients, I truly understand you!
2004年3月8日,我终于完稿了。
On March 8, 2004, I finally completed the manuscript.
夜里,我给先生写了一封长信。尽管刘晓程一再说:“雅文大姐你应该相信我, 我一定要还给你生命!”可我知道,心脏手术风险很大,我必须做好各种准备。
At night, I write a long letter to my husband. Despite Liu Xiaocheng repeatedly saying, "Yawei, you should trust me. I will definitely give you back your life!" But I know that heart surgery carries great risks, and I have to prepare myself for that.
把该做的事情都做完了,把该交代的事情都交代完了,3月9日,在先生的陪同下,我住进了我所描写过的泰达国际心血管病医院。
Everything prepared , on March 9, I get hospitalized, accompanied by my husband,into the TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) that I had depicted in my writing
3月15日,刘晓程将亲自为我主刀手术。
On March 15th, Liu Xiaocheng personally performed the surgery on me.
14日晚,手术部主任薛玉良来询问我以往麻醉的情况,是否有过敏史;担任手术助手的外科医生王正清、张嵬来询问我是否是疤痕体质;手术室的两名护士也前来探望。医院规定,凡是手术,相关医护人员都要来探视病人。
On the evening of the 14th, the head of the surgical department, Xue Yuliang, came to inquire about my previous anesthesia history and whether I had any allergies. The surgical assistants, Wang Zhengqing and Zhang Wei, asked if I had a tendency for scarring. Two nurses from the operating room also came to visit. It was a hospital regulation that all relevant medical staff should visit the patient before surgery.
晚间,中国作协领导打来电话,黑龙江作协领导和文学院领导来看望我,好多朋友都打来电话安慰我、鼓励我。两位素昧平生的外企大学教师---我忠实的读者,听说我要手术,竟然专程从北京跑到天津医院来为我祈祷。他们二人和林文华副主任将手搭在我的手上,虔诚地为我祝福,为我祈祷,祝福我闯过这道生死大关。那个场面太感人了,令我刻骨铭心,永志难忘。
In the evening, leaders from the China Writers Association called, and leaders from the Heilongjiang Writers Association and the literature institute came to visit me. Many friends called to comfort and encourage me. Two foreign university teachers whom I had never met, but are loyal readers of my work, heard that I was going to have surgery. They actually traveled all the way from Beijing to the hospital in Tianjin just to pray for me. The two of them, along with the associate chief physicians Lin Wenhua, placed their hands on mine, sincerely blessing and praying for me, wishing me success in overcoming this life-and-death ordeal. That scene was incredibly touching, etched into my memory, and unforgettable.
亲爱的读者,明天,我将带着亲人与朋友的祝福走上手术台了。
Dear readers, tomorrow I will step onto the operating table with the blessings of my loved ones and friends.
我无法预测我生命的裂谷到底有多深,我不知道我脆弱的生命能否跨过这道裂谷。如果跨过去了,我将获得新生;如果跨不过去,我将化作一缕白烟,同这美好而残酷的世界永别了。那么,这篇作品将成为我的遗作。
I cannot predict how deep the chasm in my life is, nor do I know if my fragile life can cross that chasm. If I can cross it, I will gain a new life. If I cannot, I will turn into a wisp of smoke, bidding farewell to this beautiful yet cruel world. Then, this work will become my legacy.
亲爱的读者朋友,无论我能否再见到你们,都请你们记住,这里有一位院长,有一所医院,有一群生命的守护天使……这里,将会给濒危的心血管病人带来生的希望无论你是富人,还是穷人。
Dear reader friends, whether or not I can see you again, please remember that there is a dean, a hospital, and a group of guardian angels of life here... It will bring hope for endangered cardiovascular patients, regardless of whether you are rich or poor.
再见了,我的朋友!
Farewell, my friends!
补记:我终于活过来了!
Update: I have finally survived!
当我周身插着各种管子躺在监护室里昏睡着,只觉得有人拍了拍我的脸,说: “醒醒吧,雅文大姐!今天是3月16日了。手术做完了,给你搭了六个桥,把你破碎的心修好了。”
As I lay in the intensive care unit, with various tubes inserted all over my body, I was in a drowsy state. I felt someone gently patting my face and saying, "Wake up, Sister Yawen! Today is March 16th. The surgery is done, and they have performed six bypass grafts to repair your broken heart."
我听出是刘晓程,却睁不开眼睛。我的第一反应是:我还活着！但又不太敢相信,这么快就手术完了,不太可能吧?我哪里知道,从3月15日上午9点20分我被推进手术室,已经过去二十多个小时了。医生从我两只小臂及胸内取下3支动脉,为我心脏搭了 6个桥,手术做得非常成功。
I recognized the voice as Liu Xiaocheng's, but I couldn't open my eyes. My initial reaction was: I'm still alive! But I couldn't quite believe it. Could the surgery really be over so quickly? Little did I know that more than twenty hours had passed since I was wheeled into the operating room at 9:20 am on March 15th. The doctors took three arteries from my forearms and chest to create six bypass grafts for my heart. The surgery was a great success.
当确信一切都是真的,我无法描述我对刘晓程及所有医护人员的那份感激,任何语言都是苍白、无カ的,只有真正“死”过一回,亲身经历过获得第二次生命的人,才能体会到什么叫救命之恩。
Once I was certain that it was all real, I couldn't describe the gratitude I felt towards Liu Xiaocheng and all the medical staff. Any words would be pale and insufficient. Only someone who has truly "died" once and experienced receiving a second chance at life can understand the profound sense of gratitude for being saved.
接下来,在我处于极度虚弱,刀口剧痛,连咳痰、翻身、喝水一切都不能自理的日子里,我受到医护人员的百般呵护。从监护室到普通病房,从护士长、护士、护エ到林文华副主任以及我的外科主治医生王正清,都时刻监护着我的病情,帮我服药、捶背、翻身、洗头……对我照顾得无微不至。
Next, during the days when I was extremely weak, experiencing intense pain from the incision, unable to do anything independently, even coughing, turning over, or drinking water, I received meticulous care from the medical staff. From the intensive care unit to the regular ward, from the head nurse, nurses, and attendants to the associate chief physicians Wenhua and my attending surgeon Wang Zhengqing, they constantly monitored my condition, helped me with medication, massaged my back, assisted with turning over, and even washed my hair... They took care of me in every detail.
我第一次感到病人在医院里是主人,而不是处处要看医护人员脸色甚至用“红包”去取悦他们的“小媳妇”。可我仍然心存疑虑:是不是因为我采访过刘晓程,所以他们对我格外关照?
For the first time, I felt like a patient was the master in the hospital, rather than having to constantly please the medical staff or even give "red envelopes" to win their favor. But I still had doubts: Was it because I had interviewed Liu Xiaocheng that they were especially attentive to me?
林文华副主任的一句话,使我感到ー丝释疑。他说:“这里是一年一签合同,实行全员聘任制。所以人人都要把自己最优秀的一面展现给患者,展现给工作。”
看来,体制决定着一切。
Words from the associate chief physicians Lin Wenhua alleviated my doubts. He said, "Here, we have annual contracts and implement a system where all staff members are appointed. Therefore, everyone has to show their best side to the patients and in their work." It seems that the system determines everything.
我能下地走动了,看到许多病友都享受着和我同样的待遇,听到病友对医护人员赞不绝ロ,我还采访了两名外国病人,心中的疑虑这オ打消。
I was able to walk around and see many fellow patients enjoying the same level of care as me. I heard praises from patients towards the medical staff, and I even interviewed two foreign patients. The doubts in my heart were then completely dispelled.
46岁的艾尔伯特是来华工作的加拿大人,3月22日半夜11点,突发心梗,凌晨2点,被救护车送到泰达国际心血管病医院急诊室。当时,他胸痛剧烈,血压下降,病情危重。
Albert, a 46-year-old Canadian working in China, experienced a sudden heart attack at 11:00 pm on March 22nd. By 2:00 am, he was brought to the emergency room of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) by an ambulance. At that time, he was suffering from severe chest pain, a drop in blood pressure, and his condition was critical.
曾在加拿大工作多年的内科主任齐向前医生,立刻给他做了心脏介入手术,放了一个支架,病情明显改善,第二天就下床走动了。但要彻底解决心脏问题,还需做搭桥手术。但加拿大保险公司不相信中国的医疗技术,不同意支付艾尔伯特的保险。艾尔伯特却说:“不支付我自费也要做!这医院太好了。
Dr. Qi Xiangqian, the chief of medicine who had worked in Canada for many years, immediately performed interventional cardiology on him, placing a stent. His condition significantly improved, and the next day he was able to get out of bed and walk. However, to completely resolve his heart problem, he needed to undergo Coronary artery bypass grafting. The Canadian insurance company, however, did not believe in the medical technology in China and refused to cover Albert's insurance. However, Albert said, "Even if I have to pay out of my own pocket, I want to have the surgery done in this hospital. It's excellent here.
在加拿大,只有我太太照顾我,在这里大家都来照顾我,我非常满意。”后来,加拿大保险公司给刘晓程打来电话,最终同意支付艾尔伯特的保险。于是,艾尔伯特成为发达国家在中国做心脏搭桥手术的第一人。而且,加拿大的保险公司与泰达国际心血管医院正式签约,今后加拿大人在中国突发心脏病,都到该院来就诊。
In Canada, only my wife look after me, but here everyone takes good care of me, and I am very satisfied." Later, the Canadian insurance company called Liu Xiaocheng and ultimately agreed to cover Albert's insurance. As a result, Albert became the first person from a developed country to undergo Coronary artery bypass grafting in China. Moreover, the Canadian insurance company officially signed a contract with TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH), so that in the future, if Canadians experience a sudden heart attack in China, they can come to this hospital for treatment.
但是,台湾出生的美籍华人陈先生就没这么幸运了。51岁的陈先生在外企中芯国际公司任职,3月12日凌晨1点,突发心梗,凌晨2点,被救护车送进天津某大医院急诊,一直等到下午2点,陈先生已经神志不清,医院オ为他做了心脏造影,并放入ー个支架。
However, Mr. Chen, a Taiwanese-born American citizen, was not as fortunate. Mr. Chen is 51 years old and works in Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation. At 1:00 am on March 12th, he experienced a sudden heart attack and was brought to an emergency room in a major hospital in Tianjin by an ambulance at 2:00 am. He had to wait until 2:00 pm in the afternoon, by which time Mr. Chen was already in an altered state of consciousness. The hospital then performed a cardiac angiography and inserted a stent for him.
医生说他心脏发生弥漫性病变,需要做搭桥手术,但远端血管太细,搭桥只能解决80%的问题。陈先生夫妇感到痛苦而茫然,跟医护人员搞得很不愉快。有关保险公司同意用直升机送陈先生去香港或台湾手术,又怕途中发生意外。
The doctor said that he had diffuse coronary artery disease and needed to undergo Coronary artery bypass grafting. However, the distal blood vessels were too narrow, and the bypass surgery could only solve 80% of the problem. Mr. Chen and his wife felt distressed and bewildered, which led to a tense relationship with the medical staff. The insurance company agreed to transport Mr. Chen to Hong Kong or Taiwan by helicopter for the surgery, but they were concerned about potential accidents during the journey.
这时,台湾长庚医院著名心脏专家李英雄先生通过朋友打来电话,让陈先生立刻去找刘晓程。于是,他们来到国际心血管病医院。看过造影片子,刘晓程说: “我可以解决你全部的心脏问题。”
At this time, Dr. Li Yingxiong, a renowned cardiac specialist from Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, called Mr. Chen through a friend and urged him to immediately seek Liu Xiaocheng's assistance. Consequently, they went to TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH). After reviewing the angiography films, Liu Xiaocheng said, "I can solve all of your heart problems."
陈夫人顿时激动得热泪盈眶:“上帝,我们终于从地狱逃了出来,来到了天堂。我真不敢相信中国还有这么好的医院,这么好的医生!真不知该如何感谢你们ド’
刘晓程为两名外国人成功地各搭了五个桥,目前二人均已康复。后来,陈先生听说医院为ー个被遗弃的孤儿做手术,还寄来了 10000元赞助费。
Mrs. Chen was instantly moved and tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "Oh my God, we have finally escaped from hell and arrived in heaven. I can't believe there is such a good hospital and such excellent doctors in China! I don't know how to thank you enough." Liu Xiaocheng successfully performed five bypass surgeries for the two foreigners, and both of them have since recovered. Later, Mr. Chen heard that the hospital had performed surgery on an abandoned orphan and sent a sponsorship fee of 10,000 yuan.
术后第19天,我怀着虽然虚弱但却“健康”的心,带着外科全体护士送给我的中国“同心结”,带着内、外科主治医生的叮嘱,在我先生和孩子的陪同下,踏上了回家的路。
On the 19th day after the surgery, with a weak but "healthy" heart, I embarked on the journey back home accompanied by my husband and child, carrying the Chinese "heart knot" given to me by the surgical nurses and the instructions from the attending surgeons in both the general surgery and the cardiac surgery departments.
没有比此时此刻更能体会活着是多么美好的了。
There is no better moment than this to truly appreciate how wonderful it is to be alive.
坐在车里,有一种恍若隔世之感,对窗外的一切感到既陌生,又亲切,有一种看不够的贪婪。20天前还枯黄的树已经变绿了,ー排排小白桦顶着鹅黄色的新绿, 在风中轻轻摇曳。阳光暖暖的,风柔柔的,树绿绿的,一切都是那么美好。来时的灰暗心情已经全部消失,生命又属于我了,我心中又充满了新的希望。
Sitting in the car, I feel a sense of detachment from the world outside. Everything appearing is both unfamiliar and familiar. I, with a greedy desire, try to take it all in. The trees, once withered and yellow just 20 days ago, are now lush green; rows of small white birches are adorned with a fresh golden green, gently swaying in the wind. The sunlight is warm, the breeze is gentle, the trees are verdant—everything is so beautiful. The gloomy mood I had when I arrived has completely vanished, and life belongs to me once again, filling my heart with new hopes.
一路上,我一直在为自己庆幸,庆幸上苍让我结识了刘晓程,结识了这所医院。可是,另一种思绪却不时地缠绕着我,令我胡思乱想……
Throughout the journey, I have been grateful for myself, grateful that fate allowed me to meet Liu Xiaocheng and come to this hospital. However, another thought occasionally lingers and troubles me, causing my mind to wander...
我在想,假如那位朋友没有邀我来采访刘晓程,那么,我对自己的病情可能ー直糊里糊涂的,说不定哪天会突发心梗……假如我不是一名作家,不享受医保,我只是穷山沟里一名农妇,或者只是一名每月仅有一二百元的下岗女工,根本没有能カ支付两次十几万元的手术费用,那么,我将如何面对这场灾难?又将会有怎样ー番人生结局?
I wonder, what if my friend didn't invite me to interview Liu Xiaocheng? Then, I might have remained oblivious to my own condition, and who knows, one day I might have suffered a sudden heart attack... If I weren't a writer, but someone without medical insurance such as a peasant woman living in a poverty-stricken mountain village, or a laid-off female worker surviving on a monthly income of only a couple hundred yuan, how would I face this catastrophe? What would be the outcome of my life?
转而又想,我那400万像我一样徘徊于生死边缘的心脏病同胞,他们什么时候也能像我ー样,获得手术机会,轻轻松松地活下去?中国老百姓看病贵、手术难的问题,什么时候才能真正得到解决?
On the other hand, I think of the 4 million heart disease patients who, like me, are teetering on the edge of life and death. When will they have the opportunity to undergo surgery and continue living easily ? When will the problems of expensive medical expenses and inaccessibility surgeries for the Chinese people truly be resolved?
最后,我要告诉朋友们:好好珍爱自己的生命吧,生命属于我们只有一次!
Lastly, I want to tell my friends: Please cherish your lives, for we only have one life to live!

==卷四：8.难回故里==

难回故里

郭冬

我舅,台湾海军陆战队上尉,河南籍老兵,一生中挫折大于平顺。像很多漂泊的中国人ー样,他把“回家”当成了无可置疑的生命追求与归宿,然而“叶落”却未能“归根”。

舅舅走了,和他相同命运的老兵已经或即将抵达天国。这些被政治强カ所侵吞的ー批特殊人,早被自己原先所属的社会所抛弃,因而他们就比其他海外游子, 更渴望被原来的生存空间接受。

他们正在带走ー个时代,那个时代中关于他们的秘密,将沉入深不可测的海底,无声无息地融化。而他们,这些在历史记录中原本就是缺位或ー笔带过的小人物群体,再过二三十年,也就成了远离后人记忆的缥缈的孤帆远影。

当舅舅在台北荣民总医院辞世时,我清楚,夺走舅舅生命的,剥夺他回家意愿的,不仅仅是病魔,甚至不仅仅是众所周知的两岸局势。

第一章你从哪里来,我的舅舅

初次见面

1988年4月23日,ー个普通的日子,母亲派我接舅舅。

母亲交代的线索是,你舅洪洲,57岁,台湾人,乘坐京广线列车抵达北京站。

我不知道这个年月会被载进中国当代史,一当然,舅舅并非历史人物,他在庞大的台湾海军陆战队中,不过是个退役上尉;我也没有意识到ー个世人瞩目的事件正急剧降落到我们居住的这片土地上。

没有车次、时间,只有等待。我站在熙熙攘攘的人流中,ー见港台模样的壮年男性出站,就迎上搭话:“请问是洪洲先生吗? ”

“不,不是,不是不是。”

无数张矜持或自负的脸面从身边闪过,无数只滑轮皮箱从脚边拉走

那个下午,我伫立在北京站出口,足足等了两个小时。

姥姥临终前对舅舅的评价是,到底不是亲生儿子啊,说走就走了,连个信也没有。姥姥对舅舅的彻底失望,使我一直不肯原谅这个没有见过面的人。

我掉头往家走,心说:不等了,当年他离家出走,让姥姥苦等了一生,现在又轮到我来等。

第二天凌晨,尖锐的电话铃声长响不断,是母亲的电话。她的语气充满兴奋: “你舅昨天午夜到家,飞机降落在天津,他是从天津搭乘出租车到北京的。”

我才知道,舅舅作为台湾当局“允许民众赴大陆探亲”方案实施后的首批老兵之一,是从台湾飞到香港,后经罗湖口岸到广州,再到北京的。他们这些想家想了近40年的人们相约着出来,就像鸟儿逃离了樊笼。

舅舅没能购买到从广州直达北京的火车票。他在信中说,想圆梦,沿着京广线一路看下来,看内地,看河南,看黄河,ー解思乡之苦。

1988年的广州车站售票窗口前,人头攒动,纷乱熙攘。舅舅已经不习惯无序状态,惊讶地注视着推来操去的人潮。他不知道,大陆的改革正从这个门户,壮阔地涌向北方大地。

有人走到他身边,是票贩子。“北京软卧哦?没福气啦!”贩子劝他,“改搭飞机快得很咧!”舅舅急于逃离广州,立马从皮夹里抽出美元,以3倍价格购买了抵达天津而不是北京的飞机票。

我直奔母亲家,推开门,正见舅舅的笑脸。

ー股暖暖情谊径直地流淌到我心里。

这就是后来留在我印象里的舅舅。他壮壮实实,腰板挺得很直,是那种训练有素的军人气质;他身着毛料西装,染过的头发有序地分梳在两边;眼睛不大,一笑就眯起来,显得很亲切。

这是ー张和善的面孔,和善到让你忘记了姥姥的哀怨,忘记了几十年生活境遇的区别,忘记了彼此的距离,仿佛大家从来就是这样ー起生活,素无间隙。

舅舅第一次置身于我们这个人丁兴旺的大家庭,喜得不知怎么办オ好。他看看这个,看看那个,老是眯着眼笑。

我扎进厨房,赶紧干活。在中国人欢聚的场合,吃饭是第一位的。

舅舅随我进了厨房,慈爱地看着我,将红包塞给我。可能是青少年时代屡经冷遇,我一直不习惯收礼,再说昨天还在埋怨人家,今天咋好收红包呢?

舅舅看出了我的尴尬,用毋庸置疑的口气说:“小冬,这是’人头份’,大人小孩都有份!”他抓住我的手不放,很有力气。他的手又宽又厚,无名指上戴着ー个很大
的绿翠戒指。

舅舅在北京住了两个月。最让他骄傲的是,当返乡老兵凑在台北聊天时,旁人说大陆亲戚要钱要物,而舅舅却说他收到的东西多得带不走。在往后多年的日子里,一提这事,他就笑眯了双眼。

听妈妈讲那过去的事情

“老天送给我们ー个舅舅。”

妈妈摇头:“哪里!你舅50多年前就在咱家落根,和咱们血脉相连了。” 妈妈就给我们兄弟姐妹讲开了一

你们都知道的,你舅不是我亲弟,这要从家世说起。

你姥姥是河南人,家境殷实,嫁给你姥爷后,光景就差下来。可姥爷没让姥姥失望,他是个有远见的人,早早从商,到县城开办馒头铺,起名玉兴馍铺。凭着诚信发达,雇伙计,买骡子,还盖起了二层小楼。

你们都知道孟子的话,“不孝有三,无后为大”,你姥姥接受的就是这种文化。她接连生养我们姐妹イ三,没有儿子。不管族人是否数落,她自己就被“无后”的观念压得抬不起头。痛苦的还在后头,我的姐姐和妹妹先后死于疾病, 只剩下我这个中腰的。尽管我从小学念到师范,成绩拔尖,远近有名,但都不能给这个家庭带来继承香火的荣耀。

一件偶然的事情挽救了这个家。那是1932年,时逢大灾,黄河泛滥,土路上满是背井离乡的人。有人捎来口信,说一家逃荒人要给儿子找条活路。

姥爷当即说:“咱认下这个儿,让他传宗接代。”姥姥自然同意,买了小孩衣服,我们一家三口搭坐驴车,往邻村赶了去。

那是个风沙天,很冷。我们进了人家里,就见ー对衣衫褴褛的夫妻在等。

男孩2岁,没穿衣裳,裹在ー堆破布里。我伸出手指逗他,男孩闭着眼睛全无反应。他娘怕我们不要,赶紧解释:“小孩没奶吃,到现在还不会说话。” 你姥姥的眼泪掉下来,低头给孩子穿衣裳,又掏出准备好的10块银圆,捧给逃荒人。那夫妻俩又喜又悲,千恩万谢地去了。走出门口,他们再次回头张望穿上了新衣裳的男孩,但孩子仍旧闭着眼睛没反应。

你们猜得对,这就是舅舅了。

家里算是有了儿子,之后请客接风,把男孩视为珍宝。

当地一位有相面奇术的方士称:“这孩子命里缺水,必须取个多水的

名字。"

一番推算之后,算命人拍了板:“水大为洪,有水必有洲,就叫’洪洲’吧。”

我突然有了悟性,拦住妈妈的话:“是不是水太大,把舅舅放到了被水包围的 '洲‘ーー台湾岛?”

妈妈警告我:“不要乱讲话,你舅可能还不知道自己的身世!”

舅舅的回忆

一夜之间,舅舅完成了身份的转换。

他照样挺着军人的腰板,照样洋溢着军人的气质,可腰里拴上了妈妈家门的钥匙。他喜欢听钥匙啪啦啪啦撞击的声响,那意味着找到了家,他喜欢这种提示〇

他哼着常香玉、马金凤、崔兰田的豫剧段子,进进出出居民楼。

邻居们会说话儿:“是舅舅来啦?看您姐弟俩长得多像!"

舅舅笑眯了眼:“亲姐弟能不像?”

那时,我遍查报纸,都找不到河南豫剧团到京演出的消息,只好一趟趟送来赶制的豫剧录像带,像《卷席筒》《斩包拯》《穆桂英挂帅》《花木兰》《秦雪梅吊孝》《抬花轿》《香囊记》《陈三两爬堂》,足有二三十盘。那是舅舅最快乐的时光,他和着豫剧带子的旋律,用戴着绿翠戒指的大手,一下一下拍打着沙发扶手,不时哼唱出声来。

我知道,舅舅渴望这种温馨的家庭生活,已经很久了。但有时,他也会发出ー声悠长的叹息。

我忍不住,就问舅舅为什么叹气。舅舅的眼圈红了:“想你姥姥咧,她一天好日子没过上,要是能像现在这样,手拉手,ー起看戏听戏,我死也知足了〇"

那天,舅舅向我讲述了他的童年一

你姥姥,我叫娘。在娘身边的日子,是我这辈子最有福气的时候。娘爱爹爱,我从2岁玩到6岁,凡事不愁。那时,咱家乡下有地,县城有铺,是出名的好人家。

一次,馍铺伙计耍笑我的处境是要星星不给月亮,我ー听就吵着让爹给摘月亮。爹是铺东家,平常少言寡语,伙计害怕他,我可不怕。爹聪明,用剪子把蛋糕皎成月牙,月牙黄黄的,他捧在手心里哄我:“看,刚给我儿摘下的月亮,趁着软,快吃吧。”

说来好笑,昨天你妈告诉我,就因为爹娘偏疼我,她那时还哭了咧。

我像富家子弟那样,6岁念书。只要我愿意,爹能一直供我,可惜我不成器,ー进学堂就逃课,跑到村外瞎折腾,结果只念了两三年。这是我这辈子最悔的事。

我闹出了圈,给家里惹过大祸。

一次,绑匪趁我出村玩耍,劫了我,要价1〇担赎粮。尽管咱家不短吃喝, 可1担100斤,10担粮是1000斤啊,够全家吃上一年的。这对小生意人来说, 等于揭了房顶啦。

我被绑匪关在茅草屋里,心想爹ー准不赎我了,就闭着眼睛等死。那时, 我小心眼里好怕呀。

谁知没过多久,绑匪“咪当” 一声拉开门,朝我说:“你爹来了,回家吧。”

我以为是绑匪戏耍,不理他。可绑匪又说:“你爹来了,回家吧!”

我腾地跳起来,站在屋门ロー看,可不,爹来了,正卸车哩。那骡车上码的粮食好高啊!我见着绑匪没哭,被关在茅草屋里没哭,可一见骡车上像小山一样的粮食,我哇地哭了!那是爹娘起早贪黑干活挣的哩!

爹抱起我,用手帕给我抹泪。他的眼神,让我ー辈子忘不了,多疼爱、多怜惜!

卸完车,爹把我安顿在空车上,他ー个指头没戳,一句气话没说,搂着我就赶车回家。娘在村口等了一整天,她泪流满面地把我抱在怀里,我当时就感动得哭开了。就为这,我心里许下愿,要当孝子,日后为爹娘养老送终!

家里的买卖越做越大,人家的馒头是一斤5个,咱的馒头随便抓起4个, ー称准有1斤多,不使碱,面白面暄,价钱还便宜。爹会做生意,给老客户发了优惠折子,回头客越来越多,馍铺就开了分号。爹成了县城里的人物,他仍旧少言寡语,可在街上一走,人们全迎着这位身着狐皮长袍的老板打招呼。爹不再干活,凡事不问,全交给账房管,伙计也多了起来。

要是没有后来的变故,这个家的日子该有多好!

爹不大回家了,在外头娶了二房,就是你二姥姥。我们私下管她叫老二。

当时,我是孩子,不明白爹为啥娶二房。俺娘是全村公认的美女子,她双眼皮,大眼睛,黑黑的头发拢在脑后,又能干又善良,我可为娘骄傲了。那ー次,娘哭了,哭过后,她平静地对爹说:“恁别在外头住,搬回来ー起过吧。”

就这样,老二进了家,我的好日子也到了头。这老二比娘年轻多了,仗着爹宠幸,把谁都不放在眼里。一天,那年轻女人戳着我的头说:“嘿,小子,你大
了,不能吃白饭,卖馍去吧〇”老ニー句话就改变了我的身份,这样,我10岁那年,就成了小伙计,每日领馍外卖,回家报账交钱。卖不掉,没饭吃。

有一次,没卖完馍,老二不让吃饭。娘看见,不干了,她碰上讨饭逃荒的都送馍,咋能看我饿肚子?老二不怕娘,喊开了:“这小子是啥人,凭啥吃白饭?” 娘平时不多言语,可这会寸步不让:“啥人?他是我的儿,吃白饭也理当!”老ニー甩头,叭地把笼屉扣上了。

平时的积恨涌上心头,我跺脚朝老二喊:“你个贱小婆!”

我把“贱”字拉得又重又长。娘愣了,赶紧回身护住我。

老二“嗷”地ー叫扑上来,隔着娘,照我脸上就是一巴掌。

小冬啊,就从那时起,我右边的耳朵聋了,到现在还听不真。

后来,日本鬼子打来了,馍铺开不成了。我姐,就是你妈,去抗日;老二生了儿子,爹带着老二单过。自打那以后,这个家就散了,从此我再也没有见过爹。

娘领着我躲日本兵,回到村里。娘种地纺线,有口馍,先给我吃;扯块布, 先给我做衣服。我懂事早,每日抢着帮娘担水劈柴,怕娘想姐心疼,总是哄着她高兴。要是用几个字形容我和娘这8年的日子,那就是:相依为命！后来, 抗战胜利了,姐来信让我们去江苏徐州找她,我们三口才算团聚了。

不知妈啥时进屋的。

妈插话:“洪洲呀,咱们从江苏徐州迁到湖南长沙,是1948年吧?”

舅说:“是的,姐。”

妈终于道出了应当在!948年说的话:“那是咱家最难的日子,你姐夫买了扁担夢筐,要你卖菜贴补家用,你、你怎么不吭一声就离开家了?”

我知道,这是舅舅最难过也是最难面对的事情。

他挺直的腰板弯下来,声音低得像自语:“我那是被抓壮丁抓走了……” 妈的声音也软下来:“你知道咱娘伤心一辈子临终还念叨洪洲洪洲的吗?” 舅受不住了,他抬起头,眼眶里溢满泪水。

“我,我,我呀……”舅说,“我想娘想了一辈子啊,姐!”

他爆发出一声男子汉的呜咽。

舅舅失踪的真相

舅舅为什么出走?我家两代老人为这个问题寻思了半辈子。现在,我从妈妈与舅舅断断续续的谈话中,摘出了下面这段家事。

让我们回到1948年的长沙。

那时我还没出生,上面有三个哥姐。爸爸在20世纪末被中国作家协会授予抗战作家纪念牌,当年他是报纸主编,写过发过很多抗战诗歌,可战争ー结束,他就失业了。

爸爸送爷爷去台湾时,停靠在广州黄埔港的轮船“噗噗”地冒着白汽。时任国民党军军官的爷爷紧紧拥抱着爸爸,颤声说:“我的儿子,报馆关张了,你失去薪俸, 老人孩子等着吃喝,为什么还留在大陆?”爸爸不回答为什么,只是坚定地重复: “我不走。”爷爷踏上轮船的那一刻,说了一句令爸爸终生难忘,后来几次转述给我的话:“你,真的相信那些’左‘派朋友?”

爸爸的眼泪流下来。这是父子俩多年不同的政见。

招手,招手,招手;再见,再见,再见。

那逐渐缩小的身影,最后消失了,永远消失在了两个人的生涯里。

爸爸和爷爷从此没能再见。

冬季的长沙,空荡而寒冷。

爸妈、姥姥、舅舅和我哥姐,一家老少七口人围着炭盆吃饭。那时,爸爸做起小生意,妈妈钩织帽子外卖。不巧,幼小的哥姐赶上发烧,两支盘尼西林下去,家里就断了炊。

炭盆里发出的红光,越来越弱,最后,火星全熄了。姥姥叹着气,把炭盆扣到木门外,家里没钱买木炭了。妈妈钩织帽子的手,冻肿得老高。

那年舅舅18岁,挑着夢筐上街卖菜。

他心气老高,每逢迎着太阳上菜的时候,都在盘算ー个希望,咋能让家里的日子变ー变呢?

变化的时刻来了。

两个军人兜头迎上来,舅舅刚想招呼买菜,两人开口了 :“喂,送你去个吃饭的地方。”

舅舅看势头不妙,抓起夢筐要跑,但一个人已经按住了他的肩。舅舅挣扎着喊:“我有娘,得问娘!”另ー个人随手撇了夢筐说:“先看看兵营再问娘。”

在抓兵人的押解下,舅舅挪动着双脚。

那时,舅舅是个没有见过世面的乡村孩子,不知道全国的战争形势,不知道辽沈战役中解放军全歼国民党军47万人,淮海战役接着开打;不知道国民党军屡战

屡败、屡败屡退,为补充兵力而大规模抓壮丁;不知道共产党已经在筹备建立中华人民共和国。

被50年后的舅舅评述为“是权カ之争也是治国方略之争”的这场国共战争, 给予当年舅舅的心理感受只是恐惧与茫然。舅舅分不清共产党、国民党、解放军、国民党军,更不知道自己成了壮丁。

走啊走,太阳升高了。

舅舅心里也升起了一个太阳,早先盘算的那个希望亮堂起来:穿上一年半载军装,拿上钱回家,娘和姐就能吃饱饭了 !

舅舅轻松起来,索性挣脱押解人的手臂,自己大步走进了兵营。

历史在这里停住了脚步,舅舅的农民身份就在这一刻结束,从此,他成了国民党军士兵。

第二章一江之隔

海峡这边与那边

国民党军队伍不分日夜一径朝南开,舅舅慌起来,他知道家在北边,想逃走,可就地正法的案例使他的思维转了向。舅舅在这个乌合之众的群体里第一次认识了自己的智慧和组织能力,他鼓动伙伴,先干,瞅机会跑。

军队再歇脚的时候,他们南行到了一个无名的小岛。所有的士兵都在叫骂,不明白军队为啥不打仗,径直朝远离家乡的蛮荒之地撤退。

舅舅继承了爹娘少言寡语的性格,这使他在那批叫骂的士兵中显得老成稳重, 从而引起了长官的注意。几个月后,舅舅没找到逃跑机会,反倒ー步ー步升任当了排长,每日带着士兵在小岛上操练。他后来对我说,在这段日子里,能够冲淡他思乡情绪的是ー只白色小狗。那狗儿每日夜间定时叫他起床查夜,于是舅舅就不管军规军法,醒了就抱着狗儿在兵营里巡查。新兵都害怕他的威严,说没见过排长的笑脸。可舅舅说,如果不是怕牵连整排人,他早开小差找娘去了 !

小岛上的日子有了头,队伍集合待发。ー心一意指望回家的士兵,在茫茫大海的涛声中,在人民解放军的炮声中,在大船停泊、小船乱撞的码头,在万千士兵向北方捶胸顿足的哭喊声中,在无数人抓着绳梯苦苦爬向大船舱门的时刻,骤然明白了自己的处境。

1949年,120万大陆国民党军人、军属分批登上了开赴台湾的舰艇。那时,舅舅撒手放走了悲声哀号的小白狗。

经过整编,舅舅进入了正规的海军陆战队。这海军陆战队是台军参谋本部直属的战略预备队,专门担负陆上、海上快速反应作战任务,是被视为“攻势作战”的兵种,也是被其他士兵羡慕的兵种。

就在这个部队乱哄哄换防时,舅舅出乎意料地见到了一个极为重要的人。

那时,舅舅率队在台湾ー个小城市的车站待命。他正窝火的当儿,身边走过了几位年长军官。舅舅看呆了,为首的人儒雅挺拔,像谁呢……像、像、像姐夫!那当然不是姐夫,从年龄上说,应当是姐夫的父亲!

各位读者,舅舅的姐夫,就是我的父亲啊!

舅舅腾地跳起来,他知道,迟上几分钟,在人山人海中就永远找不到长官了!

舅舅火速冲上前,叭地立正、行礼。儒雅挺拔的长官站定,和蔼地说:“小鬼,你有事?”舅舅说:“长官,我姐夫是X X,您是不是……”

舅舅紧张地看着长官,好似那人决定着他的命运。长官笑了,一把抓住他的手说:“好哇好哇,我们是亲戚,我给你留个地址!”

我爷爷从勤务兵手里接过笔,匆匆写着字。这位高官在返回大陆无望的第二年,接走了除我父亲以外的所有家眷。

天助我家。许多年后,就是凭着这层关系,我们在台湾的叔叔姑姑,当然还有舅舅,到北京找到了我们一家。

在台湾,不能忍受的事接连发生。最可怕的是头几年部队开不出饭,士兵日日以番薯、野菜充饥。

官兵不知道,蒋介石当局与美国签署了有关共同防御的规定,把从大陆带来的黄金倾力投入军费里。几十年后公布的数字证明,20世纪50年代台湾军费开支占财政总预算的70%以上,60年代还占50%,而官兵与家属却在他们“同心同德、返乡复国”的教义下忍饥挨饿！

从策略上看,蒋介石当局将台湾作为休养之地,推出“一年准备,两年反攻,三年扫荡,五年成功”的计划。也就是说,蒋介石当局预计在!954-1955年重新占领大陆。

成为牺牲品的,不光是1949年赴台的60万官兵与60万随军家眷,加上1950 年从海南岛、舟山群岛等地陆续赴台的官兵及家眷,赴台者已达200万之众。

蒋介石当局只好草草安置眷属,台湾的学校、寺庙、农舍、牛棚塞满了大陆人。这些后来被称为“眷村”的贫民窟,全台湾有763个,眷户高达96082家。后来从眷村走出来的名人,比如宋楚瑜、吴小莉、李立群、邓丽君等人,在撤至台湾初期,都与他们的父兄共渡艰难,不得不以番薯、菜叶充饥。

就像割倒的韭菜那样,ー拨ー拨的士兵倒下去了。饥饿,浮肿,水土不服。

舅舅饿得头昏眼花,站不直身子。那年头,如果石头是软的,他也会往嘴里填。舅舅和老兵们凑ー堆,常常互相按脸按腿,比比谁按下去的小坑深,接下来就是骂娘,把这个龟孙那个龟孙的劣迹痛数一番,横竖不管军规军法。

之后就是痛哭。

台湾海峡被封锁了。再大胆的人也不敢冒“通敌叛国”罪名叨唠回家,于是, 士兵们就在军营里发疯般地哭爹喊娘。

舅舅独自守着无边无涯的大海,一宿一宿地落泪,一宿一宿地与娘说话。他想起了我姥姥纺纱织布的情景,那时姥姥哼着豫剧唱腔,他围着织布机跑,边耍边应和;他想起了我姥姥牵着他的小手串门的情景,姥姥帮他穿上锦缎丝袄,戴上撑有两根铜棍花瓣的帽子,那花瓣一走ー颤,惹得一街娃儿艳羡;他想起了我姥姥受二姥姥排挤的情景,发誓终生保护我姥姥不受气;他甚至幻想满地跑着他洪洲的娃儿

深沉难耐的苦,是从故乡从亲人中被剥离出来的孤独之苦。舅舅不知道,那苦オ刚刚萌芽,它将发芽长大,之后缠绕舅舅一生,逼得他后来几近发疯〇

退役的日子

大半辈子的光阴,说没就没了。

舅舅受不了部队里种种非人道束缚,以台湾海军陆战队第651团上尉副连长的职务提前退役,兵籍号码629581。按规定,他享有终身俸。由于习惯了简朴生活,他每月花销不多,后来又找了一份工作,日久天长,积蓄渐渐多起来〇

Chapter Eleven

一天,他在同乡老柳家喝酒,悲痛中突然倒地,这时他才知道,无痕的是积淀进心底的哀伤。老柳太太果断地招呼人把舅舅抬进了医院。

心肌梗塞。

医生说:“你岁数大了,不要吸烟不要喝酒不要急躁。”

他听话,戒了烟酒,那时房价正低,他打算购买ー套房子,在台北过安生日子。

老柳太太也是河南人,这个家她说了算。爽快热情的柳太太当机立断:“洪洲兄弟,把房子盖我家房顶上,咱就成了一家人!”

这里是台北万大路,穷人居住的地方,面临着城市改造。

舅舅犹豫,怕给别人添麻烦
老柳是厚道人,退伍老兵,看太太定了调,就也カ劝舅舅搬了来。

舅舅禁不起两人劝说,敲定了,盖房!

盖了三间。原来楼下的三间,柳先生一家照旧住;楼上新起的三间,是舅舅的家。后来,舅舅说,那盖房钱足够在好地界买套新房。

就这样,舅舅成了柳家人。每日下班回来,一起吃饭、打牌、聊天,倒也其乐融融。

可后来,舅舅发现事情不对,柳太太掌管着老柳的账目,也月月收走他的退休金,舅舅开销得伸手要钱。

舅舅不愿被管束,在ー次取来退休金后,留下一半,柳太太就变了脸。

这之后,柳家的孙子孙女三天两头缠着舅舅要零花钱,柳太太与女儿每逢出国旅游也张ロ朝舅舅要钱。

舅舅每日上班,越来越少在柳家吃饭,也越来越懒得爬回自己的二楼新居,但仍旧仗义地缴纳着生活费,也照样管着柳家孙子孙女的零花钱。他有时也反问自己:咋把日子过成这样了呢?但他总是有理由说服自己:人家把你送进医院救了你的命,这恩情不比啥大?

寻找大陆亲人

当年血气方刚的士兵,背驼了,腰弯了,白发上头了。许多老兵如同当年舅舅的景况,在路上被抓到兵营,家里毫不知情,因此,多年来,他们只想传递给亲人ー句话,就一句:我活着。为这三个字,老兵们忍了十年、十年又十年,但后来不能忍了,爹娘逐渐衰老了。他们开始冒着坐牢的危险相聚,商讨怎样将话递给爹娘。

各位读者,这里说的“坐牢的危险”并不夸张。台湾作家廖信忠在《台湾老百姓自己的故事》里用“白色恐怖”形容当时台湾的政治氛围,“这个词对于台湾的意义,大部分就是指国民党自统治台湾以来对异议分子或嫌疑者的肃清及迫害。台湾人民长期处在这种环境里,有话不敢说,有意见不敢表达”;廖信忠还提到这种政治高压对下一代的渗透:“蒋中正的影响カー直到20世纪80年代末90年代初都还存在,在我小学时都还要背’蒋公遗嘱’,音乐课也要学唱’蒋公纪念歌’;而每次老师ー提到蒋介石或'国父’孙中山先生时,大家都要正坐或立正一下表示尊敬。”

20世纪80年代后期,我在台湾的叔叔委托我给他寄一本《鲁迅书信集》,按照他的指点,我首先将《鲁迅书信集》包上封皮,写上其他书名,寄至香港,然后由香港朋友改换成香港印刷品包装,再寄至台湾。叔叔在信中说:一定要谨慎,查出来是要坐牢的!

像老兵的忍耐达到极限ー样,这个时代的忍耐也涨到了极限。

1979年1月1日,全国人大常委会发表《告台湾同胞书》,称人民解放军停止对金门炮击,希望实现通航通邮。

1981年,台湾《时报周刊》、台北《展望》杂志社就“中国统ー”主题举办专题座谈会。

1982年6月,由蒋经国之子蒋孝武任社长的台湾《自由中国之声》杂志发表专论,主张中国和平统一分“三个阶段”进行。

后来,美籍华人陈香梅谈到了这段历史。她在2004年8月21日答新华社记者问时,披露台湾老兵回乡探亲问题由邓小平率先提出。她说,20世纪80年代初, 邓小平向她提议,可以先让在台湾的老兵回家探亲,说大家都是中国人,都有父母、兄弟姐妹、老婆、孩子。于是,陈女士就去台湾,向台湾方面转达了这层意思。

老兵们从台湾当局禁止收听的大陆广播中,知晓了有关探亲的一切信息。就为邓小平上述通情达理的见识,舅舅念念不忘邓小平的恩德。他最后一次到北京时,有位艺人给他画像,把他的脸孔描画得蛮像邓小平,舅舅竟然乐出了声,把它带回台湾,贴在了自家墙头上。当然那是后来的事。

老兵们费尽心机地寻找着与家乡沟通的途径。功夫不负有心人,机会来了。

那是ー个阳光明媚的日子,老兵们邀请几位赴台的香港生意人喝茶。戴着金丝眼镜的香港人很斯文很仗义,说都是中国人都是手足同胞都有父母妻小自然可以转信;老兵们感动得眼圈发红,说不会让他们白干,自会付些酬劳。香港人说,那就不客气了,在商言商,冒着杀头危险转信还是要多收些手续费的。老兵们放下茶碗,齐刷刷声明不怕花钱。香港人说生意人讲信用,你们五天后交信交钱,两个月后自会见到大陆亲人回信。

老兵们呼地站起来相拥而泣。他们全不顾茶馆高雅幽静的氛围,不睬茶客们抗议的目光,只管捶胸顿足,高喊老天开眼了。

舅舅兴冲冲地跑到彰化市去找我叔叔要地址,爷爷和叔叔都住在彰化市。与舅舅比起来,我爷爷幸运得多,他早就托付九龙的朋友转信,舅舅去彰化时,爷爷、叔叔已经与爸爸互通过好几封信了。

我爷爷一生低调,信中从不炫耀个人业绩。父亲告诉我,爷爷オ华横溢,诗书棋画均有造诣,说我们后代无人能及。讲到通信,还有个趣事。我爷爷能写一手好字,他在托付九龙朋友转信前,就亲临香港将写给我父亲的信直接寄到了湖北云梦老家。爷爷当然不知道我们早到了北京,他的信居然没有被拦截,直接投递到了村庄。那是我们的“文化大革命”期间,海外来信一律被视为投敌叛国的证据,可就
因为信封上的ー笔好字,生产大队会计舍不得上交,把它珍藏下来了。爷爷没能够坚持到我父亲以大陆作家身份访台的90年代,他老人家由于中风,在病榻上躺了几年,80年代后期就故在彰化了。

舅舅开始书写生平第一封信。他很不自信,不停涂改,后来还是把笔交到了老柳女儿个中学生手里。舅舅说一句,中学生写一句,正写在兴头上时,柳太太插了一句:“洪洲,你别是剃头挑子ー头热吧?”舅舅看了她一眼,发现她表情怪怪的,大有不愿意舅舅与大陆亲人联系之意。

老兵们的信足有一提包,连同另ー提包台币,以及几十年沉甸甸的期盼,全部交到了香港人下榻的饭店。戴着金丝眼镜的香港人仍旧很斯文很仗义,慢慢重复着请放心之类的安慰话;老兵们也仗义地邀请香港人喝酒,举杯庆祝就要实现的愿望,他们似乎已经难以承受即将到来的喜悦之重。

之后是等待,等待。ー个月,两个月,半年,所有的老兵都没有收到回信。

ー个在老兵们心中多次跳闪的猜疑变成了判断,那被事实证明了的判断如同钢鞭一般直抽老兵们的心窝:香港人敛足钱,回港过好日子去了 !被欺骗的老兵悲愤地集体号啕,当他们醒悟到要清算几位香港人的无耻行为时,オ发现根本就没有留下他们的任何信息。

天无绝人之路。与老兵一样,这个时代的有识之士在保持了数十年的缄默后, 迸发出ー叠震耳欲聋的吼声。

1986年4月,高雄市议会通过提案,要求国民党当局准许外省籍人士与大陆亲人通信,“以慰亲情”！

1986年成立的民进党,主张“人权至上,不分党派,人道为先,亲情第一 ”,于

1987年初发动“返乡省亲运动” ！

1987年4月18日,多位国民党籍“立委”提出质询,要求台湾当局重新检讨 “三不”政策,以符合现实需要!

1987年5月2日,台北6000余位大陆籍人士成立了 “外省人返乡探亲促进会”,要求准许他们返回大陆故乡。他们穿着写有“想家”两字的白衬衫,散发传单,游行示威。5月10日,他们齐聚台北中山纪念馆前,举办“遥念母亲”活动。这个组织的声明打动了无数人的心:

由于严厉的禁制,40多年来,多少人把刻骨铭心的思亲念头压抑在内心深处,我们已为国民党耗尽了宝贵的青春,并已沉默了 40年,现在该是我们大家团结起来,站出来讲话的时候了。我们只求,父母若健在,让我们回去奉上

一杯茶;若不在,则让我们回去献上一炷香

舅舅这个生有反骨的人,无疑支持所有抗议活动。他是国民党员,曾经信奉国民党中央,但当腐败现实击碎了他的返乡梦想之后,他就自由脱党,拒交党费了。

1987年初,蒋经国指示有关部门研议开放民众赴大陆探亲的可能性。

1987年7月27日,台湾交通主管机关、内政主管机关联合宣布,解除自1979 年4月实行的不许台湾同胞以港澳作为出境旅游第一站的限制,允许台湾民众前往香港旅游,但不准进入大陆。此举使两岸离散的有钱人陆续前往香港会面。

1987年10月14日,国民党中常会通过了台湾居民赴大陆探亲方案,“允许民众赴大陆探亲;除现役军人及公职人员外,凡在大陆有血亲、姻亲、三等亲以内之亲属者,均可申请到大陆探亲”。

冰山坍塌了。

这之前,我家也从爷爷信中知道了舅舅的地址,于是托香港朋友转信,一封、两封,在丢失了几封信以后,终于有一天,舅舅收到了我们的信,而我家也收到了舅舅通过香港朋友转寄来的信。

读者朋友,请注意这里,舅舅在万大路住所丢失过几封信,我后面还会提到这件事。

从那以后,舅舅再不用别人代言,他用心一笔一画地向我们诉说着真情。

从1948年提着扁担夢筐跨出家门的那个早晨起,舅舅最不能忘记的,就是自己终日看惯了的、将头发盘在脑后的日日操劳的我姥姥。在他眼里,娘就是村庄, 就是家园。他盼了太多的时日,渴望像小时候那样在娘怀里哭泣、倾诉,可终于,这些期盼在1975年,他45岁正领兵操练的辛苦岁月,变成了永不能实现的梦想。

我姥姥是在当代中国的“史无前例”时代,因感冒转肺炎离世的。她熬到了 “文革”结束前1年,经历了我家最屈辱的日子。噩耗在1〇年后オ传递给了舅舅, 当舅舅从北京家信中知道姥姥病故的消息时,哭得瘫软在地上。他在心中一次次描绘的与娘相聚相拥的亲热画面,为爹娘端饭送水的温馨场面,都在那一刻坠落在地板上了。当时,舅舅就发誓,不能为爹娘养老送终,也要回乡建墓立碑。

后来,就有了 !988年4月23日,舅舅作为民众赴大陆探亲首批人中的ー员, 从台湾到香港到广州到天津,再到北京我们家的那次行动。

那一次,我们不许舅舅花钱,送给他的东西不算,还为他购买了不少礼物。比如,送给台湾荣民总医院医生的珍贵狐皮,因为那位医生主刀救了他的命;送给柳太太的兰州夜光杯,因为柳太太在他病情发作时果断送他上医院劳苦功高;送给エ厂老板的宜兴紫砂茶具,因为老板对他很关照;送给エ厂小友的玉镯,因为小友们常给他过生日……

舅舅整理了两大皮箱礼物,满心欢喜,因为他能够以自己的方式还报台北朋友对他的关爱了。可是,他也发愁,这一路太辛苦,要从北京到广州,经罗湖口岸到香港,飞到台湾,再从台湾桃园机场回到台北万大路,“到桃园机场是夜里,连公车都没有,只好搭计程车!”舅舅叹ロ气。我知道,舅舅舍不得乘坐出租车,他对别人大方,可把再少的钱花在自己身上也心疼。我担心的是另外一件事,这一路行程,对舅舅这样患有陈旧性心梗的病人来说,是个可怕的考验。

舅舅历尽辛苦,终于回到台北了。后来我才知道,那夜,柳家全体人都开灯等候着舅舅。当他肩扛手提地跨进万大路家门时,老老少少都跑出来,把我们全家十几口人精心准备的大大小小礼物,兴奋地拉拽进了各自房间。当舅舅无奈地爬向二层自己的住所时,还能听见柳家女人孩子分抢东西的嬉闹声。如果不是因为后来柳太太与舅舅发生了剧烈的争吵,大概他们的日子会一直这样过下去。

第三章第三次回大陆

回老家

1990年10月,舅舅第三次到北京。他将返回河南老家为爹娘建墓立碑。

前面说过,我姥姥生有三女,长女、三女早年夭折,因此姥姥随二女即我母亲生活,并拉扯大了我们五兄妹。姥姥故去后,她老人家的景泰蓝骨灰坛就供放在母亲家,像她老人家生前那样与我们照旧ー起生活。我姥爷根据新中国的一夫一妻制, 与二姥姥在贵州定居,姥爷于1962年故于灾荒,二姥姥还健在。

亲爱的读者,下面的事情有些琐碎,可是,这些事情改变了舅舅的一段人生计划,所以请您慢慢看。

舅舅以他多年带兵形成的组织能力实施着自己的心愿。第一,他计划为我姥爷兄弟两人在老家各建一座墓,我姥爷的墓分为三室,除姥爷与姥姥各居一室外, 还留有二姥姥之位〇第二,他联系上了远在贵州的二姥姥,请求二姥姥同意为我姥爷移墓。第三,他联系上了我姥爷弟弟的孙子金柱,因为要为姥爷弟弟即金柱爷爷建墓,要金柱协助。

这三件事,舅舅筹备了两年半。除我二姥姥坚决拒绝为姥爷移葬外,其他事情都很顺利。舅舅偕我母亲先行赴县里联系丧葬事宜,我母亲在县里有些声望,县乡又注重政策,所以很快落实了墓地。其余,舅舅统筹安排,把活儿摊派下去,造墓的造墓,刻碑的刻碑,打棺材的打棺材,有条不紊。

这里说的金柱,小我几岁,早年随他母亲从村里进了安阳市。他母亲开烟酒小店,他在工厂干供销。金柱受了舅舅的委托,闲时就到乡下督エ。他母亲与舅舅是叔伯姐弟,以前虽无往来,可这次一见面,他们的激动与热情并不亚于我家。

舅舅回乡,惊动了县对台办,县上人再三表示欢迎舅舅落户,乡里也说要为他分地盖房。舅舅不知是否动了心,没答应也没拒绝,只是搓着大手笑。毕竟,他少小离乡,时时惦念的就是这一方水土。

1990年11月,天气冷了。舅舅筹划的送姥爷姥姥返乡的大事启动了。我向单位请了假,捧着姥姥的骨灰坛,随舅舅、妈妈回老家。

如同舅舅1988年在广州车站购票那样,卧铺票极难买,我在北京站排了半宿队オ拿到了去往安阳的硬卧票,心疼得舅舅ー个劲地说:“回北京的票得让金柱帮忙买!”

我们到达安阳车站时,天刚刚放亮,金柱迎上来。那是我第一次见到柱子,他个子不高,胖墩墩的,ー只眼睛有些红,满脸挂着淳朴的笑。我与妈妈被安排坐进吉普车,金柱却拦下了舅舅。我就听见车外金柱与舅舅的对话。

金柱:“舅,我娘昨天回村,把烟酒带了去,让您别再买了。”

（我想,姨真厚道,办丧事要用不少烟酒呢。）

舅舅:“柱子,我送给你母亲的日本彩电收到没有?”

金柱:“收到了收到了,您给的24K足金戒指,我给了妈,还有给XX、XX、X XX的,谢谢啊。”

舅舅:“怎么不知道回封信呢,让我记挂。”

金柱:“……”

舅舅:“金柱,我问你,我上次寄给你的20件台湾产新衣服,让你分给XX、X X、XXX,你怎么都换成了旧衣服,让人家骂我?……”

我有些吃惊,赶紧看妈妈,正好迎上她的目光。妈妈显然也不知道这件事,对我摇摇头,我明白她要我别管。

舅舅与金柱上了车,空气很沉闷。

金柱没话找话:“舅,你们回北京从郑州搭火车吧?”舅舅没吭声,好像还在生气。我问:“车票好买不?”金柱瞟了一眼舅,ロ气大起来:“俺亲妹子在郑州铁路上工作,铁路局就跟咱家开的ー样。”我赶紧敲定:“柱子,三张郑州到北京的火车卧铺票,交给你办行不?”金柱眨着那只很红的眼睛ー口应承:“没问题。”我用手推舅
舅:“金柱帮咱买火车票呢〇”舅舅的脸开朗起来了。

吉普车向我们祖辈生活过的村庄疾驶,我的心装满了神圣,我要将姥姥送还给她所思念的这片土地,要在这个地方陪舅舅生活几天,一同圆他的故乡梦。

ー辆手摇纺车在我眼前晃动,是姥姥在讲述她的青春,是姥姥在讲述老辈人的故事。就从这辆纺车里,摇出了绵长的线,线儿像这个中原村庄的历史一样长,像这里人们的情义ー样长。现在,我陪姥姥回村了,这个令姥姥和舅舅梦魂牵绕的村庄一定很美丽吧?

ー个小时,两个小时,那坑坑洼洼的土路颠簸得我骨头生疼。我紧紧抱住姥姥的骨灰坛,不敢说话。

太阳升得老高了。终于,咔的一声,吉普车很响地拉上手刹,停稳了。

我睁开眼睛,跳下车,顿觉茫然。这个仿佛滞留在苍茫旷远历史中的小村庄, 就是姥姥和舅舅铭心刻骨思念的家乡?盘桓于中原大地几千年的那文明种族的活力,在哪儿呢?留在这里厮守着村庄的后人们,你们明亮的瓦房呢?你们可心的新衣呢?你们如同集市一样繁华的小街呢?我去过改革春风掠过的江南土地,那里, 每踏上一步,都像是踩着一首亮丽的田园诗。

这里是初冬。我拉好毛围巾,树叶黄了,飘零的树叶落在我肩上。一条枯瘦的狗夹着尾巴,从吉普车旁倏地跑过。紧跟着,我看见了在路上找食的羊、猪、鸡、鸭, 尽管它们看来瘦弱无カ,可却像自己的主人ー样享受着无人干预的自由。

舅舅俨然成了人物,认识与不认识的村民们都围上来,数说着他的孝道。舅舅在头里走,步履稳健,后面簇拥着一群大人和孩子。我猜想他当年带兵打仗就是这样在队伍的前面走。

舅舅被引到ー间土屋里,我和妈妈坐在当院。很快,我发现事情不对劲了。用土坯垒起的小院满是人,大家争着朝舅舅的小屋挤,出来的人面带笑容,没进去的人着急万分。

我也挤进去,ー看,便退了出来。原来舅舅在兴致勃勃地分发礼物,他见男的发电子手表,见女的给纯金戒指。喜出望外的男人女人们张着两手,不出声地在空中争夺物件。

族里爷爷陪着妈妈进屋了,表情严肃地唤舅舅一道去灵棚。舅舅赶忙收起礼物,可人群并不离散。

村里空地上搭起了庄重肃穆的灵棚,姥爷、姥姥的遗像悬挂正中,供桌上摆放着水果点心饭菜,还有香炉蜡抨以及ー些供器;灵台左右两侧悬挂着白布帘,是守灵的位置;灵台下,两ロ黑漆棺材很厚重醒目。族里爷爷介绍说,棺木如何如何好, 油漆了多少多少遍,舅舅点着头。

姥姥的棺木里放了骨灰坛,姥爷的棺木里放了我从北京买来的一套西服,还摆放了舅舅带来的一些物品,以及老礼道规定的东西。

因贫穷而寂寞的小村喧腾起来,杀猪的、炒菜的、蒸馍的、摆席的,穿梭不停,周围十里八村的乡亲听说有个台湾孝子回乡办丧事,也纷纷赶来看热闹。这个村庄的人气就像滚开了锅的沸水。

我们全都穿上了粗白布孝服,立在灵棚下,迎送着ー批批吊唁的远亲与宾客。所有前来吊唁的人都会对舅舅说上一句:“爹娘没白疼你ー场啊!”

我想,对舅舅来说,这是最中听最受用的夸奖。这句话这场面,他一定等待多年了。

那天夜里,我与舅舅为姥爷、姥姥守灵。

长明灯亮着。

舅舅突然对我说:“小冬,办完丧事,我死也闭眼了。”

我不许他瞎说。

舅舅的表情极为平静,他说:“先前我就剩这一件事没办,现在办了,心就安了。”

我知道,舅舅的心脏先天狭窄,在台北万大路发病那次,荣民总医院为他做了冠状动脉造影,造影显示:三根主动脉,ー根堵塞,ー根正常,ー根发育不良。医生连续疏通那根堵塞的动脉血管,竟然失败了,最后,没有安放支架,也没有“搭桥” 〇医生拉着舅舅的手,郑重地说:“您是依靠ー根正常动脉支撑的人,要比任何人都在意自己。”

我安慰舅舅,说科学正在进步,说只要小心不会出问题,说好日子刚开头要有信心,说他的生命属于全家,说我姥姥、姥爷的在天之灵会保佑他。

舅舅不作声。他这个人就是这样,你很难说服他什么。有时我觉得自己难以企及他独自遨游了太久的境界。我感觉到,坐在灵棚里的他,仿佛是在面对他自己的遗骸,从容地盘点着如何发落自己。我突然想,他是不是想在这片土地上落户, 百年后也葬在爹娘身边?

第二天上午9时,是出殡的时辰,即“辰时发引”。摔盆、烧纸、起杠,鼓乐齐鸣, 花圈挽联纸人纸马一片。舅舅打幡,我搀扶着妈妈,出殡队伍浩浩荡荡不见队尾。至今我也不明白,哪些是孝属哪些是亲友哪些是观者,大概金柱爷爷那ー支的后人很多吧。只记得通往墓地的路有3里地长,70岁的母亲本已坚持不住,而到达墓地前的几十米,整个队伍的行进改成了疾跑,这一点杠夫本有交代,但母亲还是几乎瘫倒在我身上。

之后,杠夫将棺木摘肩落地,大绳将灵棺缓缓系入墓内,我清清楚楚地看到,姥爷这ロ墓里,除了姥姥外,还留了二姥姥的位置。

我姥爷弟弟的那口墓里,也系下了由舅舅定做的黑漆木棺。

那天,酒席摆了一路,十里八村相识不相识的人不用招呼,坐下就吃就喝,女人、小孩儿的嘴里口袋里都塞得鼓鼓囊囊的。

晚上,舅舅订了电影放映。人们如同过年一样,在屏幕正反面摆放了多排条凳,女人边嗑瓜子边聊天,男人边抽香烟边看电影,个个悠闲。小孩则在屏幕下钻来钻去。

我们回了屋,就听见金柱妈正对舅舅说笑。金柱妈从年轻时进安阳市就很少回村,这次为办丧事,特意关闭她的烟酒小店回来了。她黑黑瘦瘦的,ー开ロ就笑, 看着挺厚道。她说话速度很快:“洪洲啊,别忘了给我烟酒钱,烟是XX条,酒是X X箱,糖是XX斤,ー共是XXX元人民币。”

这话可不厚道,我方明白自己原先估计的金柱妈自愿奉献烟酒钱是没影的事。话说回来,这次发送的死者不是有金柱妈的公公吗?从情从理说,她怎能朝舅舅要钱呢?我是小辈人,不便说话,倒是旁边陪同的乡干部打抱不平了:“这位大姨,您的烟酒咋按高价算呢?比咱乡里商店的货贵多了!”

金柱妈收了笑,眼ー瞪,就要发火。

舅舅赶紧给金柱妈搭了个台阶,高门大嗓地招呼:“姐,金柱,咱结账!”

我就见金柱揉着那只很红的眼睛,掏出已经准备好的本本,开始念账了。账老长,什么墓碑、刻字、棺木、油漆、轿夫、香烟、白酒、面粉、生猪、青菜、豆腐、粉条、供品、响器班、放电影,念了一页又一页,舅舅手里没有计算器,也不打算盘,只是听。

金柱准备得很充分,高声大嗓地念着,直到舅舅摆手叫停,这账就算结完了。我知道,舅舅先前把一大笔美元交给了金柱,金柱现在就是报告这笔美元的去处吧。之后,舅舅分别递给金柱妈与金柱一些钱和首饰,大概这些礼物的数量未及他们的期望值,所以两人从屋里出来时,脸都拉得老长。

后来我问过舅舅:“那账对不对?”舅舅笑了,他眯着眼反问我:“你说对不对? ” 他后来告诉我,预算里已经留出了贪污账,幸亏没超得太多。

舅舅居住的小屋又挤满了人,没有得到手表与戒指的伸手抢,竟然把手伸到了舅舅的口袋里,而得到东西的人也不走,磨着舅舅请戏班唱三天大戏。

我和妈妈在院里坐着,一任舅舅兴致盎然地散发他带来的最后财物。突然,舅舅拨开人群脱身出来了,他脸孔涨红,似乎有些恼。看身后没人跟上来,他从裤兜里摸出五个红绒小包递给我说:“就剩这五个戒指了,你替我保管。”我ー看,那全是有台湾良记银楼保单的足金戒指,就赶紧掖进口袋里。回到北京后,舅舅用去三枚,至今还有两枚我替他保管着。

第三天五更,我和舅舅都睡不着,就在村头溜达。

舅舅对我说:“没有你姥姥、姥爷收留,我早死在逃荒路上了。”

我心说,我们ー家老老少少几年来小心谨慎呵护的这个秘密,敢情您早就知道了,于是追问一句:“您咋知道自己身世的?”

舅舅说:“我还是小孩子的时候,就有村里人告诉我了。所以,我一直感谢爹娘花1〇担粮食赎我之恩。”

现在,我觉得什么都能对舅舅说了,就把想了好几天的另ー个问题和盘托出: “舅啊,我不知道您的亲爹娘是朝哪个方向逃荒走的,您要是愿意,我陪您朝那个方向磕头,也算谢他们生您ー场。”

这毕竟是舅舅与亲生爹娘相守相离的土地,他们的血脉,他们的亲情,是生死不变的永恒事实。我想,这里不正是舅舅与亲爹娘对话的最好时机与场景吗?

完全没想到,舅舅ー摆大手,口气不容置疑:“我在海边想的是你姥姥、姥爷,从来没想过他们。生我不养我的人……”

他没有说完。

冬天的晨曦露头晚,我看不清楚舅舅的表情,可感觉到了他的失望。他的失望,似乎不是来自将他遗弃的亲生爹娘,而是来自多年期盼的实现。在年复一年的期盼中,他将脚底下这块生他养他的土地描画得特别美好。其实,当他第一次从北京返台听见其他老兵议论时,就应当有这份心理准备的。

他分明叹了一口气。也许是感到了灵与肉的分离。他的身子是着着实实落在故土上了,可他这个人却成了故人眼里的台湾客人。他在心里积蓄几十年的炽热情感,本来是要倾カ抛洒在故乡沃壤中的,可现在他突然明白自己与这片土地,与自己想了几十年的这个村落,一丁点关系都没有了。乡干部昨天还在等待他关于分地盖房的答复,他该怎样回答呢?

舅舅和我坐在田壇上,各想各的。许久,他用大手捏碎了一块土坷垃,下了决心:“一回家!”

我明白这两个字的含义。就从此刻起,他放弃了脚下这块抚养他长大的土地, 割舍了这个曾经带给他无尽欢乐,令他疯狂思念过的家乡。现在,他只有北京的姐姐家了。

吃早饭时,一位爷爷建议,村里人会堵着我们要钱,不如赶明儿个清早上路

说来有点黑色幽默的味道。第四天早晨,我们在村领导的指挥下,爬上拖拉机,就像做了亏心事的人ー样,匆匆逃离了那个曾经被舅舅日想夜思,现在又埋葬着亲人的故乡。

拖拉机轰轰地驶在起伏不平的黄土路上。抬眼望去,收了秋的大地一片平坦。我突然想起“平均”这个概念。大自然不讲平均,物竞天择,动物纷争。现如今的社会也不讲平均,改革催生的竞争意识已经铺遍大江南北。想过好日子的父老乡亲们啊,应该上哪里竞争,上哪里去淘换自己那一份幸福呢?为什么一定要厮守着姥姥们留下的老纺车老田地老房子呢?

小路上蹿来ー辆自行车。听姥姥说,我妈是全县第一位学会骑自行车的女学生。那时,不仅全县闺女艳羡的目光追踪着妈妈,就连绑匪也寻思开了活计。幸而我妈离家抗日去了。

骑自行车的是一位不相识的女子,她大概有30多岁,将头包裹在方布巾里,只露出了眼睛。她边挥舞手臂,边朝我们叫喊。我寻思该不是要钱的吧?拖拉机慢下来,那女子就紧蹬车轮,跟着拖拉机并头骑。拖拉机轰轰地叫着,女子就盖过拖拉机的声音,大声朝我们喊话,她说自己是谁家的媳妇正在打离婚要上城打エ朝舅舅借些盘缠钱……舅舅没有吱声,他是个要面子的人,我知道,他带来的钱已经花净,要不,后来在郑州买火车票、吃饭,他不会任我掏钱。

金柱食言了,没有帮我们买火车卧铺票,他和他的母亲,就像那些吃完酒席的人ー样不辞而别。

我趴在郑州火车站窗口,对ー脸冷漠的女售票员说:“这是我们的证明,购买到北京的卧铺,软卧硬卧都行。”

叭一三张硬座票飞出来,这就是说,老人们只能坐硬座到北京。

我赶紧把脸贴近窗ロ,请求道:“两张,行不行?给老人!”

女售票员梗着脖子不看我,用河南话喊:“下ー个!”

我们没有地方可去,离开车还有七八个钟点的时候,就站在郑州车站前圈起的广场候车区里,排在队首,以为能够按序上车。哪知道,后来广播里刚一宣布准许上车,队列就乱了,没有人维持秩序,没有人排队,我们立即被后面不排队的强大人流推擦着,一下就冲散了。

我从来没有见过那种阵势,人们挥舞着拳头,生生打开前面的人,自己往前冲。我死死护着妈妈往前跑,只怕妈妈跌倒。及至上了火车,オ发现舅舅没有跟上来, 就返身去找舅舅,走了好远,オ见舅舅坐在通道上已经动弹不得,蜂拥而上的人群似乎没有看见地上的人,呼啸着穿过他。
我赶紧搀起舅舅,那一刻,我发现他的脚已经难以吃劲。后来,他靠着我的臂膀好不容易上了火车。列车启动后,我反复与列车长交涉,オ换上了一席软卧。就那样,妈妈与舅舅合坐在ー张软卧铺上。

故乡的风,在火车两侧呼啦啦地吹。小村庄低落下去,最后和遥远的地平线ー般高了。舅舅闭着眼睛,不肯扭过头回望他的故乡。自此,他与它不再彼此相属。

舅舅到底坐上了京广线的火车,那个在台湾拟制的,给他带来过无限希望和遐想的返回故乡的梦,现在是结束了。

我想,在他心里,故乡一定幻化成了碎影,星星点点隐进他深沉的记忆中。

实实在在的是伤痛。北京医院的X光片显示,舅舅的脚踝骨折,必须打石膏。

第四章家在哪儿

办理收养公证

1993年5月,舅舅第五次到北京。

温馨的家庭阳光,是怎样辐射进舅舅心房的?一什么事?什么时候?通过哪ー扇门窗?

哦,是我们合家商议,要给舅舅安排ー个未来的家。

舅舅的态度很坚决:我不娶太太,把小冬过继给我,我有了这个女儿养老送终, 再无所求。

那时,舅舅的身体已经很不好,连续心绞痛,多次住院了。老来无依的担忧袭击着他,他需要一个能够养老的家。

对舅舅的请求,爸妈慨然允诺,看来他们已经商量好久了,我与丈夫泰来虽然刚刚知道,但也没意见。

不管把家安在哪儿,我们都得去公证处办理过继公证。

北京市公证处的民事组长是个胖胖的女同志,她纠正我说:“是办理收养公证。”同时告诉我们程序:先办大陆公证,之后由台湾海峡交流基金会核准大陆公证书后,再到台湾方面办理收养公证。

于是,我们按照要求,分别东奔西走,准备了一大摞证明材料:台湾的、大陆的, 舅舅的、爸妈的、我的、丈夫的,工作单位的、派出所的……然后,我们又偕三位老人ー起到公证处办理手续。还好,事情算是顺利,过了一段时间,我们就领取了京证

台字〔1993〕第492号收养公证。公证书这样记录着:

兹证明洪洲与XX、XXX （作者注:XX、X XX是我父母亲的名字,下同）商定,并征得被收养人郭冬的同意,洪洲于1993年8月23日收养XX,X XX之女郭冬为养女，洪洲为郭冬的养父。

北京市公证处公证员XX

1993年9月7日

公证书是法定机关对于民事上权利义务关系所做的证明,舅舅自然懂。领到公证书时,舅舅已经回到台北,我就在电话里给他一字一字地念,他显然十分重视。我的话音刚一落,他就落实道:“这就是说,自1993年9月7日起,北京市公证处确认了我和你的养父养女关系!”

我说:“是啊是啊,舅呀,我是不是得改称呼啦?”

舅舅在电话那头哈哈大笑,他说:“等台湾公证员协会的文件下来,咱就改口! 我要告诉所有战友,我有个教授女儿!”

我赶紧声明:“舅,是副教授!”

舅舅说:“那你明天当正的,我后天再告诉他们!”

我说:“行!”

我们就笑。说实话,我很感动,也很感谢,舅舅为人低调内敛,他在不经意间冒出的话,说明他因我而骄傲,这是我们交往中出现的绝无仅有的一次话题,以后再也没有过。

那是个秋天,可春风吹进了舅舅的心田,他的希望发芽长叶了。后面的事情如我们所愿,台湾海峡交流基金会于1993年12月31日发来了公证书核对证明文本。

舅舅收到台湾海峡交流基金会发来的公证书核对证明文本后,抛却了所有的不快。按照程序,他再到台北公证员协会办理完我们的收养公证,新生活就要开始了！

这时,一件意想不到的事情发生了。

前面提到,如果不是因为柳太太与舅舅发生了剧烈的争吵,他们的日子会一直在万大路过下去。从舅舅的薪水不再交给柳太太起,他们之间的相处就存了疙瘩。后来,舅舅不断回大陆,不断动用自己的储蓄,这就使柳太太十分气恼。大概读者
也猜到了,舅舅与柳太太的最大冲突,就在于舅舅发现了被柳太太扣押的北京来信。在舅舅看来,亲人所书写的每一封信,都是他生活的光亮,是他生存的寄托,更何况柳太太扣掉的是来自北京的最初两封信,那时舅舅正望眼欲穿地等待着亲人的消息。这是他们仅有的一次吵架,也是终结他们关系的争吵。这场无人能够调解也无可避免的战争爆发后,柳太太冲上楼,把舅舅的铺盖和箱子ー股脑扔到了楼梯口!

舅舅陷在沙发里,往舌头下塞了一片硝酸甘油,之后拉开搁放存折的抽屉。如果此时他给我打个电话,事情还有逆转的可能。我会劝他冷静,还会给柳太太打电话,尽量平息他们的矛盾。可是没有,舅舅习惯了自我决断。他的存款已经不够在繁华的台北市买房,他当天就去往台北新庄市购买了一套两居室。他要用那所新房迎接我和泰来的到来。

离开万大路时,舅舅将当年花重资建盖的二层小楼与冰箱、彩电、录影机、空调、衣柜等所有值钱物件都留在了柳家。他弯下腰,拥抱着已经坐在轮椅上的战友老柳。他们互相都感受到了对方的衰老,都预感到是最后的告别,便手拉手,强忍眼泪,互道珍重。柳太太一定后悔了,她跟着不望她一眼的舅舅,追到院门ロ,伤感地说:“洪洲,有空来坐坐。”

舅舅的男子汉尊严昂起了头,他转过身,不看她,一字ー顿地说:“我日后如果讨饭……”

柳太太赶紧说:“哪里、哪里会讨饭,你是吉人自有天相厂’

舅舅只管说下去,仍旧一字ー顿:“我日后如果讨饭,走到你这ー家,要绕过,去下一家!”

他拖着行李箱,头也不回。

坦率地说,我后来反省过这件事,也给柳太太打过电话。且不说舅舅当年将房子建在柳家屋顶上是对是错,只说他迁离万大路,离开柳家这件事,难说是上策,因为那套位于台北新庄市的新房,后来招惹了无人能够预料的灾祸。

迁进新庄市新房最初的日子愉快无比。没有人管束,没有人伸手要钱,自己是自己的,自由自在。舅舅变得轻松起来,时常哼着豫剧唱段。他有了自己的电话, 老是打电话问我愿意当记者还是教书,说他主张泰来当自由撰稿人。后来他又想起给自己找个活,说我们仁可以ー起经商,他喜欢前店后厂的房,他愿意坐堂卖货, 让我们当老板。总之,舅舅经常为自己一厢情愿的翻新花样,激动得睡不着觉。

就在我们以为交上好运,好人得了好报时,舅舅在台北办理的公证活动撞上了

红灯

我知道,舅舅这ー辈子最怕填表写字,最不愿意与老兵之外的人打交道。可这两件事,他都赶上了。

当舅舅将一摞材料送进台北公证员协会的窗口后,公证员告诉他,台北市收养政策有多条规定,舅舅只有一条不符合,那就是:养父养女年龄应当相差20年。舅舅绝望地申辩:“我和外甥女年龄相差19年零8个月,是19年零8个月、19年零8 个月啊!”公证员温和而果断地摇摇头:“先生,不能办理。”

舅舅跌坐在公证员协会门口,用手捂着胸口。

后来的事情发展令我吃惊,一生宁折不弯的舅舅竟然违了自己的性格,独自去寻访前台湾“行政院长”郝柏村。

舅舅这样一位普普通通的老兵,怎么敢惊动郝柏村?他为什么去找郝柏村,而不是别的主管高官?我倏地想起了舅舅给我讲述过的一段经历。

金门之战

1992年,舅舅带给我们ー包邮票。他点着其中一枚的画面说:“在这个地方, 我九死一生!”

那是金门。

我叫起来:“哇,舅,你敢跟解放军开战!”

舅舅眯着笑眼,只有饱经沧桑的人才能表现出那份淡定。

我为此去查金门史料。

金门岛及烈屿、小金门,大大小小计13个岛屿。大金门岛长20公里,东距厦门10公里,形状似哑铃,东部多高山,西部多丘陵,北岸为黄白色沙质硬滩,适宜大规模登陆。

那时,在美国艾森豪威尔政府的支持下,蒋介石当局频频向金门增兵,除了大担、二担两个小岛已有蒋军驻守外,至1958年夏季,金门已增至10万蒋军。无疑, 金门成了两军必战之地。

1958年7月17日晚,中国国防部部长彭德怀传达了炮击金门的决定。

1958年7月18日晚,毛泽东召集各军事部门负责人开会指出:金门炮战,意在击美。

1958年7月19日至8月中旬,解放军调集兵力,在福建前线部署了地面炮兵 36个营、海岸炮兵6个连,459门火炮,海军80余艘舰艇和海、空军200余架飞机。

金门炮击最激烈的时刻,蒋介石派遣蒋经国到金门督战。蒋介石操着浙江奉化口音对儿子说:“我最不放心金门,那个岛离大陆太近,离台湾却很远,我1〇万将士人人抱定拼死一战的决心,坚守5日,美国必会出兵助战。如3天都守不到,那就没有人会来救它了。你要常去金门,越有紧急情况越要去。金门必须确保无虞, 那里的事情办不好,你就不要回来。”

为遵父训,蒋经国一生共去金门123次。

美国政府不负蒋介石所望,紧急向台湾海峡调遣海、空力量。美国海军第七舰队主力远道而来,美国第一批海军陆战队近4000人在台湾南部登陆,远在中东地区的第六舰队舰只也驶向台湾海峡。不到1〇天,小小的台湾海峡就布满了航空母舰、重型巡洋舰、驱逐舰等各种现代化军舰,而天上也盘旋着第九十六巡逻航空队、第一海军陆战队航空队的飞机。台湾海峡成了举世瞩目的战场。

舅舅部队在这时接到了上岛命令。

那不过是小金门的ー个岛屿,上司规定,要派员先行侦察,然后根据侦察结果部署作战计划。

命令一下达,没有打过仗的士兵便人人自危。ー个说法不胫而走:解放军海陆空拉好了一张网,谁上金门谁个是死!

与舅舅相熟的人央求:“洪洲,不要派俺啊。”

与舅舅不熟的人央求:“长官,我还小,俺娘等俺养老啊。”

舅舅担任分队地面指挥,原本不执行具体任务,然而他禁不起年轻部下的央告,竟身先士卒地跨上了战车。按规定,四人ー车,也就是说,还有三个士兵应该与他同车。

“老吴厂’舅舅大手ー摆,招呼战友;他们小,咱俩去执行任务,两人ー车「’

老吴磨磨蹭蹭,不情愿地钻进车,发动机轰响起来。舅舅挂上挡,ー脚踩下油门,老吴嘶叫起来:“洪洲,娘就俺ー个儿呀「’

舅舅立马踩住刹车,痛痛快快地说:“好,你下车,我自己去!”

他的平静与宽容,令老吴和所有的士兵吃惊。

老吴下车后,跺着脚对跑远的战车喊:“洪洲,你回不来,俺为你娘送终「’

那是一次凶吉难测的侦察。舅舅开着美制两栖突击战车,轰隆隆地下海,又轰隆隆地爬坡登陆。28岁的舅舅也许并不知道打什么仗,也并不愿意伤害谁或被谁伤害,可是当没有人情愿执行任务的时候,血气方刚的他宁愿代替兄弟们上阵。

天上盘旋着低空搜索的共产党飞机,车旁穿梭着炸开花的弹皮。海涛阵阵,硝烟茫茫。ー个小时,两个小时,三个小时……在每一分每一秒都存在死亡威胁的恐怖时刻,舅舅的水陆战车跑遍了小岛的每一个角落。

“报告,”舅舅用无线电喊话,“岛上空无一人,报告完毕「’

“很好,返航!”对讲机那头喊。

我们不知道舅舅是不是愿意返航,反正,当金门之战后的第四年,也就是!962 年,蒋介石计划反攻大陆,拟派海军陆战队从青岛登陆,舅舅第一个报了名。他的想法很单纯:山东紧挨河南,从青岛登陆就跑回河南老家,谁给他蒋军卖命!当然, 由于蒋介石取消了登陆计划,舅舅也就放弃了自己逃跑回家的梦想。

接下来的事,使舅舅兴奋了许多年。

孤胆作战的舅舅,受到了嘉奖。颁奖会上,39岁的国民党第九师师长郝柏村向他走来。

郝柏村是蒋军中最年轻的将军。这位黄埔军校第12期毕业生,1956年初就担任金门防卫司令部的炮兵指挥官,睿智过人,他上任后就推倒金门炮兵阵地上的全部沙包掩体,建立了永久性的钢筋水泥掩体,因此,当解放军的密集炮火摧毁了岛上蒋军几乎全部通讯系统时,唯独郝柏村的师部通讯还一直与“总统”办公室保持着联系。

据统计,郝柏村当时驻守的小金门承受了解放军发射炮弹总数的近一半,有 578人阵亡。在ー次视察途中,郝柏村刚离开厕所,一发炮弹便轰然炸掉了厕所的左角。这个长着浓眉的郝柏村,简直就是蒋军中的传奇人物。

39岁的将军把金灿灿的绶带披在28岁的舅舅肩头上,他大概是舅舅一生中接触过的最高级别长官。最让舅舅不能忘记的是下面的场景,郝师长使劲摇着舅舅的手激动地说:“洪洲啊,你是我们大家的榜样!”

气壮山河的呼声,长久不息的掌声,全场有节奏的“洪洲一洪洲一”的呐喊声,无疑是舅舅此生获得的最高赞誉。所有人都看到,冷面的舅舅,绽开了一脸灿烂的猩红。

1958年后,金门之战渐渐演变成了象征性战役。中共中央、中央军委规定,逢年过节停炮三天;再往后,一般炮弹只装宣传品,打炮就变成了政治攻势。这样的 “炮战”,从1958年秋冬延续到1979年元旦,整整打了 20年。舅舅早就不闻不问, 也早就不提当年之勇了。

第五章舅舅的婚姻

1995年4月,舅舅第六次进北京。

他明显衰老了,进家一会儿,就歪躺在床上。

我守在舅舅身边,劝他长留北京,或是购置ー套房子,娶个老伴;或是搬进我和

泰来的家,安度晚年。

“我何尝不想有个家?”舅舅坐起身,叹ロ气,“小冬啊,我也本是有过家眷的人!”

我不相信。与舅舅办公证时,我无数次阅读过他的户籍,那上面明明填写的是 “未婚”。他是在何时、何地有过家眷,能在何时、何地有过家眷呢?

舅舅赶紧说:“小冬,你别用这样的眼神看我。这件事在我心里存了太久,我本来想烂在肚里的。”

我不吭声,舅舅这人独处惯了,心里搁得住事,他不想告诉人的,你再问也没用。

我把茶杯捧给舅舅,他开始述说了。一段陈年往事,随着茶水飘出的雾气,徐徐铺展开来。

读者朋友,我想您听完,可能会和我ー样感慨,舅舅的这段经历,简直就像个民间故事。

江西妹俚

这件事,发生在舅舅被抓壮丁后不久,1948年的冬季。

舅舅换上军装,随部队往南开,一天一天地行军,走到江西收了脚。舅舅当然不知道蒋介石登陆台湾之前背水ー战的攻略,还奇怪队伍怎么会在江西安营扎寨, 让他们过上了农家生活。

舅舅出身农民,进小村如鱼得水,每日抡镐挥锹、担水劈柴,毫不惜カ。身边几个没出过村的河南小兵都听舅舅的话,指望舅舅能带他们回家。

那是个偶然,排长发现了舅舅的鼓动能量,命他做了班长。于是,就在江西ー个偏僻的小村庄里,舅舅成为村民们热议的人物。

紧跟着,美事从天降。

房东大妈对舅舅说:“班长呀,你多大?”舅舅正要担水,停下脚步说:“周岁18 咧,大妈。”房东拉住舅舅的扁担,扯他进场屋,郑重地说:“我看你是个下カ气做活的人,我家妹俚20岁,许给你愿意不?”舅舅憋红了脸,抓住扁担要走。房东说:“上面长官管不到你的,不说谁晓得?往后她就是你的人,随你到哪里去。”

妹俚在里屋嗡嗡地织布,麻麻利利,织出的布泻到了地上。妹俚一定是听见了,织布机突然没了声响。

妹俚结结实实,人好手巧,咋能让她失望呢?

舅舅的血ー热,忘记了我姥姥。他吐出了一个字:“中。”

就这样,没有法律文书认定,只有月亮做证的是,我们这一代有了个舅妈。咱们假定舅妈叫崔氏,在村庄由班长说了算的小天下,舅舅不请示,不汇报,与崔氏过上了新婚日子。他差不多忘记了自己是一个兵,也忘记了带弟兄们回家的承诺。

天暖了,舅舅赶着拉犁的牛下田,崔氏在田壇上跟着走。舅舅说:“恁和我,就是牛郎织女。”崔氏崇拜地望着舅舅:“你晓得的蛮多嘲。”舅舅大笑:“我娘会讲好多故事,会唱好多戏文哩!”

村庄里有条沿河的沟,长了满满ー沟绿野菜,舅舅查岗回来,就与崔氏一起给猪挖野菜。崔氏说:“卖了猪,有了盘缠,我跟你回家看娘。”舅舅就拉住她的手,指着延伸进荒野的黄褐色土路说:“就从这儿往北走,恁记住,是河南。”

崔氏是个贤惠女人,没出过村庄,踏踏实实持家,一心一意跟定了自己的男人。每当黄昏时分,舅舅就帮她挑好水,烧上几把柴,不等饭熟,就去兵营吃饭了。崔氏不知道,就是那座简陋的茅草房,成为舅舅生平唯一的小家;她给予的温暖,也是舅舅这一生中难得的情爱。

可惜,日子仅仅过了两个月,猪儿长得正壮实,队伍就开拔了。

舅舅记起了自己是ー个兵。他对泪水涟涟的崔氏说:“我要是回来,ー准接你, 咱们去找我娘,往后和娘过日子;要是2年没音讯,你就改嫁。”

崔氏顺着长满野菜的绿沟跑,踩塌了一沟野菜;之后又跳上延伸进荒野的黄褐色土路,如果队伍往北开,她就跟着走。可队伍朝南开了,崔氏一屁股坐在路边大哭起来。

从此,这个队伍再没有给过舅舅一方像江西村庄那样的自由天地,他也就永远失去了逃离队伍的可能。

从此,那ー沟绿野菜,那沿沟奔跑的自己的女人,幻化成了硕大的影像,在舅舅脑海中闪回了一辈子。

舅舅喝着茶,不再说话。

我脑海里一直晃动着那个沿沟追跑的年轻女子形象。有谁知道,这女子是多么悲哀、多么绝望?她等待了多少年?吃了多少苦?算起来,现在舅舅65岁,崔氏应该是67岁,正常的话她当健在。我就对舅舅说:“有没有地址?我陪您去江西走ー趟!”

舅舅染过的头发有序地分在两边,微微晃动:“十多年前,我就给这个小村写过信,人家没有回音,怕是改嫁了,咱对不起人,不能再打扰了。”

我知道,蒋介石政权逃台初期,为反攻大陆,下达了禁婚令,禁止所有赴台军人
结婚;违者,军法处置。

就这样,无数赴台军人沸腾的情爱、宝贵的青春年华,都被葬送进冷冰冰的反人性的禁婚令里。数万万老兵被抓时孑然ー身,返乡时依旧孤影相伴。我的叔叔, 一位卓尔不群的国军文员,在禁婚令废止后,只好与一位自己不喜欢的女子结婚, 抑郁追随了他终生。

我想探究到舅舅的心底,就问:“舅啊,您在台湾过了大半辈子,就没遇见ー个可心女子?”

舅舅的话又让我吃惊了,他说:“怎么没有?我还有儿子呢。”

唉唉唉,你这个舅舅啊,到底藏掖着多少我不知道的事!

“都是陈芝麻烂谷子的事了,”舅舅说,“哪里想瞒你!”

我续了水,茶水飘出的雾气重新弥漫开来。往事一定触动了舅舅的伤处,他用大手捧着茶杯,讲得很慢,语调里掺着凄凉。

读者朋友,下面的事情,就像一部出乎人们意料的悲剧作品情节。

台北之恋

舅舅是个不畏惧军法军规的人,当他意识到已经没有可能再与崔氏团聚时,正好遇到一位姑娘。

姑娘是居住在眷村的大陆女子。舅舅没有说她的姓名,我们姑且称她为郑小姐。郑小姐是护士,干干净净,犹如天使一般圣洁。他们可能在谁家初遇,也可能被谁介绍相识,这些都不知道,知道的是他们经历了花前月下的盟誓,度过了海边肌肤相亲的夜晚,他们焕发出了年轻人轰轰烈烈的激情,决心永生永世不分离〇

如果就这样悄悄幽会,如果就这样组织ー个地下家庭,他们说不定能够坚守到废止禁婚令的一天,那时将这份纯洁的爱情告白于天下,他们就成为世界上最幸福的伉俪。

可是,有一天事情急剧地朝反方向逆转。

那是ー个没有月亮的夜晚。他们原约定晚上7点见面,这时舅舅接到了公务, 原本应该辞掉约会,可他辞掉了公务。他站立在街头的屋檐下等候。

7点,8点,9点……舅舅的脚麻木了,腿麻木了。军人不喜欢坐,他是个固执的人,郑小姐不来,他就会永远站下去。

第二天凌晨3点,郑小姐到了。

舅舅等待她开腔,或是解释,或是抱歉,不管说什么,舅舅都希望郑小姐说点什么。可是,没有,郑小姐什么都没说。

军人胸腔里的怨火倏地蹿出来,他伸出大大的巴掌扇过去。

郑小姐的眼泪涌出来,她猛转身,怀着愤怒疾步去了。

没有人举报舅舅。所有战友都想修复这场历时不足1年的恋情。人们说解铃还须系铃人,唯有舅舅道歉才能挽回爱情。人们说舅舅脾气太大应该好好改ー改, 可舅舅说她小郑心里有我自然回来,没我不回来也不可惜!

不知道郑小姐心里有没有舅舅,也不知道那晚她迟到的原因,反正,郑小姐没有回来。

几个月后,舅舅的战友老张带来的消息令所有人大吃ー惊:郑小姐生下了舅舅的儿子。

舅舅捶胸顿足,才知道郑小姐那晚迟到的原因可能与怀孕相关。

可是,心寒彻骨的郑小姐没有留给舅舅认错的机会。舅舅的战友老张说,郑小姐患了精神病,住进医院,只能将儿子送还给舅舅。

不管舅舅多么渴望以自己的儿子为中原父母续上香火,不管舅舅多么憎恶束缚人性的军法,他都清楚自己的处境。为军规,他无法收留儿子;为儿子,他不能让孩子蒙羞成长。唯一的办法,是将儿子暂时留在有妻有女的战友老张家里。

就这样,儿子随了张姓,为不忘家乡,起名张中原。

张中原一天一天长大,他知道洪洲叔叔与父亲亲密无间,知道洪洲叔叔总是给他钱花,不知道洪洲叔叔每月向父亲提供着他的全部生活开销,也不知道他的生母长年住在医院里。

张中原长成了壮小伙。老张无数次地说:“洪洲,告诉孩子实情吧。”可舅舅说:“老张,再等等吧,你付出的心血太多,那样对你不公平啊「’

张中原到了娶妻的年龄,舅舅花钱筹办了婚事;张中原到了生子的年龄,生了两个女儿ーー张台凤、张台凰,舅舅倾其所有。应该说,除了没有名分,舅舅也算儿孙满堂了。

张中原有一份稳定的收入,每日骑着摩托车去公司上班,舅舅看着高兴。

日子就这样一天一天地过,没有大惊大喜,也没有大悲大怨。平安是福,舅舅这样说。

可是,有一天,不平安了。

报信人说,32岁的张中原在台北出了车祸,当街身亡。

梦想,又一次被轰毁。

舅舅觉得天塌下来了。他闭住眼睛,泪水横流,恨不得死在当街上的是自己。

孙女台凤、台凰的母亲,就是舅舅的亲儿媳,决定改嫁,后来偕二女嫁到了另ー
座城市。自此,舅舅已经没有太多理由去看望自己的骨血。他偶尔带上ー笔钱看望孙女,倒使儿媳妇吃惊。就这样,舅舅与她们越来越少走动,更无法亲ロ言说事情真相。到老张去世后,已经无人为整个事情正名。

他只剩下了自己。

幼年失去父母,中年失去妻子,晚年失去儿子。

人生的几股飓风刮过去了,风过无痕。

公安局的罚款

其实,我们说服舅舅居京的工作已经进行好几年了,舅舅就是担心时局有变, 不敢住在北京。却不过我们的盛情,这次进京,他ーロ就答应了。

到京两天后,舅舅感到体力恢复了些,爸爸陪着他去派出所报户ロ。

舅舅的腰板又挺起来了,用木梳将头发有序地分在两边,不知道他是不是想以那种训练有素的老兵形象进出共产党的派出所,反正他的神态很好。

我们完全没想到,ー个意外的变故中止了本可能实现的计划。

户籍科的年轻民警看看机票说:“先生,您超过了 24小时,按规定得去局里报户口。”

年迈的爸爸陪着有病的舅舅叫了出租车,去局里报户口。没有人告诉他们详细地址,两位老人找啊找,找了两个小时。路上,舅舅就感到心绞痛,含了硝酸甘油。

区公安分局户籍科的民警很和气,但也很坚决:按规定,罚款500元人民币。

舅舅的脾气上来了 : “我要不报户ロ呢?”

民警依然和气而坚决:“您自己负责后果。”

罚款交了,临时户口报上了,而舅舅也躺在床上了。

晚上,他单方面推翻了集体确认的家庭结论,一句话甩出来:“我是外乡人,绝不把家安在北京!”

这句话算是板上钉钉,到死他都没有更改。

我说:“舅舅,派出所罚款,事出有因,我有责任,应当在24小时之内去派出所说明,但这是个偶然,它与您定居北京没有必然关系。”

这话讲出来,我都觉得太原则,硬邦邦的,好像是在念文件。舅舅ー摆手,根本不想听。

我换个角度说服他:“您是大陆人,叶落归根总要回乡啊。”

舅舅纠正我:“大陆、台湾都是中国的,台湾也是我的家。”

这是我第一次知道舅舅的观点,他反对“台独”。

我挨着舅舅坐下来,轻声问:“您真的不想回大陆吗?”

舅舅好久オ说:“哪里是我不想……”

两行浑浊的泪水从他紧闭的眼窝中流淌下来了,他的声音充满了委屈:“是人家不要我啊。”

199?年1月,舅舅大病初愈,第七次来北京。

我从舅舅脸上读出了岁月的沧桑,他的背微驼,已经不再拥有军人挺拔的形体。但是,我知道,他心里永远有一股坚韧的精神。

果然,舅舅说:“明年咱俩去贵州,看望你二姥姥。”

我说:“您还想为我姥爷迁墓啊?”

舅舅用手撑着沙发扶手,慢慢坐下来:“看天意吧。”

我一口答应去贵州。当时我没有料到,老天可能不会恩赐给我们这个机会。

舅舅摆手时,我见他的手指空空的,就问:“舅,您的戒指咋没了?”

舅舅手上的戒指老是被人要走。我曾经为他购买过ー块上好的玉,舅舅回台北到金店打了一个金配玉的大戒指,戴了 2年就没了。

舅舅说:“让台湾工厂里的小女工抓跑了。”

我埋怨他:“戒指很大呢,小女工要你就给?”

舅舅一笑:“钱是身外物呀。”

我说:“舅,您下次来,我送您ー块缅甸A翠,咱打ー个更大的戒指,您不能再送人。”

舅舅笑得很开心:“一言为定。”

我与舅舅早已经像父女ー样生活,每次他进京,我都会给他准备ー笔零用钱。舅舅每次委托我兑换的美元,我都坚持在他离境前塞回他的皮箱。

舅舅临走前委托我给他买些礼物,说是所在工厂里有位常姓女工,在他住院期间受老板委托负责护理,不怕脏累,极其友好,要买高级狐皮送给常小姐,还要买ー件上好的皮夹克送给常小姐的先生,常家先生开计程车,用得上。我都照办,到王府井建华皮货店买了上等皮货。

那时,我还没有注意这位常姓女工,不知道她已经介入了舅舅的生活。

我和哥哥商量,既然无法劝说舅舅居京,就动员他在北京找一位太太,随他去台湾,帮他料理生活。舅舅考虑了两个月,直到离京オ点头同意。
我与哥哥在婚介所为舅舅填表寻偶,大概想去台湾的人不少,没几个月,女方填写的约见单就累积了厚厚一摞。我们锁定了一位50岁的护士长,我用挂号信, 将护士长的照片及详细资料寄给了舅舅。

一封,没有回信,两封,还是没有回信。

我耐不住,就给舅舅打电话。

电话是个年轻女人接的,我吓了一跳,赶紧说:“你好,请问你是哪位?”

对方很警惕:“你是谁?”

我说:“我是北京的,请让我舅舅听电话。”

对方说:“他不在。”

我说:“请你转告我舅舅

女人已经挂断了电话。

我暗自思忖:她是谁呢?常小姐吗?可口音是北方人啊。

晚上,舅舅回电话了。

我问:“舅舅,您收到我的信没有?”

舅舅很惊讶:“没有啊!”

我说:“是挂号信呀。”

舅舅在北京的一次家庭聚会上说过,他有个单独信箱,那信箱里存着他的希望,他每天都要开锁看信。说完,他还乐呵呵地添了一句:“谁写信多,我回来有奖励呀。”那时,我们都笑起来了。

电话那头,舅舅没吭声。

我明白是怎么回事了。怕舅舅为难,我岔开话题:“舅啊,我当教授了,批文下来啦。”

这个原来带给过我们无比快乐的话题,此刻如同直落进棉花垛里,没有激起任何回响。

“舅啊,你有事要告诉我? ”我问。

舅舅果然说了:“今天接你电话的人叫樊月,山东人,她嫁给了我的战友,战友上个月死了 ,她没地方住,坚持要住在我这里,我怎么撵她她都不走,我又不能推操拉拽,只好自己搬到外面住。你给我打电话时我就在别人家。”

又停了停,舅舅说:“樊月不走,一定要嫁给我,她从家里追到家外,见人就说我收了她,很烦人。她比你都小,我怎么能娶她?她成天叨叨的,我不同意不成。”

我的心倏地沉下,沉到了没有回声的深渊。

我只好问:“樊月品行怎么样?”

舅舅:“她对我倒是蛮好的,给我换着花样做饭,把屋子收拾得亮堂堂的。咳, 你不知道我这个屋原来有多乱!她还说要给我养老送终,不嫁我不离开台湾……”

我的舅舅啊,您那种贯彻终生的成熟的清醒,到哪里去了?

我握着话筒,说着自知软弱无力的话:“您可要考虑好呀,舅！”

舅舅倒是胸有成竹:“你放心好了,按婚姻政策,我得回大陆登记。那时先到北京,让你妈和你看看,你们批准了再结婚,行不?”

说到最后,他竟然笑起来。我能想象他眯缝着笑眼的样子。

舅舅的心灵是不设防的心灵,他的善良永远如一泓清泉,明澈澈的。

遗留的事情

当舅舅从感情上已经接受樊月的时候,我就知道,他涉进了一条不归的河,他绝没有机会再从河的另ー头返回。可是我无法终止他的行为。

舅舅不再给我们写信,甚至不再打电话。

1998年末,舅舅患直肠癌,做了切除手术。他不会再来北京,我原希望能够跟他在北京长谈的梦想算是破灭了。

我不知道舅舅怎么会得了那种积劳积怨方易形成的气滞肠寒无法善终的绝症。他知足常乐、豁达开朗、淡然处世、与人无争,老天怎么会把这场灭顶之灾抛给他呢?

1999年春节,我拨通了舅舅的电话。

舅舅ー听到我的声音就很感动,他说,正在做化疗,情况不是很好;他已经把遗产分配好了,让我转告母亲,也要我放心。我知道,他是暗示我,给我母亲与我都留够了钱。

我的眼泪流下来,这时候怎么能谈遗产呢?

舅舅说:我知道你想来照顾我,按规定,除了你母亲,你们谁也不能来台湾,可是你母亲年近八旬,难以承受舟车之劳了。

我想,当时樊月一定不在舅舅身边,因为舅舅为了让我高兴,还唱起了《卷席筒》,在北京家里时,他一高兴,就把录像带推进录像机里,用河南话说上一声:看看《卷席筒》!

舅舅放下电话的时候,心情一定是沉重的,因为第二天,远在澳洲的大姐就给我打来了电话。舅舅要大姐转告我,他已经与樊月结婚,因无法向我启齿,没敢在电话里告诉我。

后来,从台湾人嘴里,从大姐到台湾户证所查阅的户籍资料里,我知道了事情

的大致面貌:

樊月,山东某市郊区女工,相貌姣好,在大陆死了丈夫后,嫁给台湾老兵;老兵死后,她在限期离台的最后日子里,ー举迁进舅舅住处,展开女人的全面攻势,要求嫁给舅舅;当舅舅处于癌症化疗阶段时,她不顾医生再三阻拦,坚持偕舅舅从台湾飞到香港,后经罗湖口岸到广州,再去往山东。1999年1月15日,在北方严寒彻骨的季节里,在她老家与舅舅完成婚姻登记手续,并举办婚礼,大碗喝酒吃肉,之后オ放舅舅独自返回台湾。按照台湾规定,新婚妻子要在大陆等待,直到批准方可入台。

就是那次的寒冷与酒宴,整个摧毁了舅舅正在恢复的身体机能,全面激活了经过化疗本已被抑制的癌细胞。那一次山东之行,樊月稳稳地把持局面,不准舅舅赴京,不准通知北京任何亲人,不准北京亲人参加婚礼,甚至不准舅舅触摸电话机。

舅舅到底是舅舅,他固守了自己行为的最后防线。他坚持将自己终生所有钱款,分成几个存折,除樊月外,留给我母亲的存款是!00万台币,并将分配结果告知常小姐和几个战友。这就是舅舅最后告诉我的都“分配好了”。当然,善良的舅舅不会想到,他留给我们的存款,一旦通过樊月之手,就根本到不了我们手里。樊月凭借着信誓旦旦的“转交”保证,到底将几个存折都拢在了自己手里。

最善良者也许是最不幸者。不设防的舅舅,良心安歇了。他没有想到欺骗,特别是来自枕边女人的欺骗。

1999年5月1日,我给舅舅住宅打电话,没人接听。

我顿感不祥,急拨给舅舅工厂的常小姐。常大叫:“你舅舅过世了,4月30 日!”我心一沉,紧问:“舅舅过世时你在身边吗? ”常答:“没有,他过世后我只看望了一次,医院就不许我去了!”停了停,她补充道,“洪州先生给你母亲留了 100 万！”

我放下电话,放声大哭！

哭后,我不能相信,要自己证实。现在我的电话本上一片红色笔迹,就是那时抓起一支正在阅卷打分的红笔书写的。

我打给台湾荣民总医院:“我是北京,请转接太平间！”

我对太平间说:“我是北京,请查ー下是否有位叫洪洲的先生死于4月30日?” 那边有了回复:“是的,一位叫洪洲的先生死于4月30日早晨。”

我的眼泪再度涌流。

我又给泌尿科打电话:“我是北京,请查ー下,洪洲先生是不是死于直肠癌?”

回复:“不,不是。”

我再给心血管科打电话:“我是北京,请查ー下,洪洲先生是不是死于心梗?”

回复:“请找病房,洪洲先生住A19I病房23床。”

我打给病房:“我是北京,我是病人家属。请找合作病房主任,我想查询A191 房23床病人洪洲的死亡原因。“

回复:“病人死于心力衰竭与直肠癌并发症。”

据知,舅舅临终前痛苦万分,他始终记得樊月要给他养老送终的承诺,因此他的叨念一遍比一遍凄凉:樊月怎么还不来?

据负责老兵事宜的台湾退伍会皇辅导员介绍,舅舅最后的历程应该是:

1999年1月20日,舅舅自山东独自返回台湾。

1999年4月15日,舅舅因直肠癌复发,住进台湾荣民总医院。此时直肠癌已达四期,医生只好切除部分直肠,做了人工肛门,外接粪袋。

1999年4月30日凌晨,舅舅心力衰竭,肌体全面崩溃。临终前他不再讲任何话。

1999年4月30日,台湾退伍会迅速封闭舅舅的新庄住宅,查看票据,发现舅舅存折里仅剩2万元台币。所有大额存款,于1999年1月初樊月返山东前被悉数取出。退伍会还惊讶地发现,新庄住宅已经过户给上面提到的女工常小姐!

皇辅导员在电话里对我说:我们为房产事研究过,如果新庄住宅是最近过户的,我们会保护洪洲先生的利益,以洪洲病重神志不清为由,退伍会向有关方面申请过户无效,可是ー查底档,发现新庄住宅已经在2年前就过户给了常小姐!

明白了。樊月在2年前,她上一位丈夫还在世时,就为征服舅舅做努力了,这一点在她后来与我通电话时得到了证明。据知,常小姐在发现樊月的攻势后,捷足先登,竟然软磨硬泡地以极少的台币购得了新庄住宅的产权,不过允许舅舅长期居住在这套新宅。我与皇辅导员同样不理解,舅舅为什么能够突破自我保护的底线, 将正居住着的房产转让给常小姐呢?常小姐怎样说动了舅舅?与舅舅有着怎样的约定?这个谜底,在活着的人中,恐怕只有常小姐自己清楚。

退伍会放弃了对新庄住宅产权的查证,立即赶赴银行验看账目,发现舅舅账目上,除了上面说到的2万元台币外,还有利息10万元台币未及动用。哦,舅舅到底为自己留存了一笔可能被樊月忽略的利息款!

皇辅导员说:“正是洪洲先生这两笔钱加上当月退休金,退伍会才能给舅舅办ー个比较体面的葬礼。”

1999年5月5日,身着ー袭黑色衣裤的樊月抵达台湾。

1999年5月12日,樊月以遗孀名义参加了我舅舅的追思会。面对来自台湾四面八方的老兵,披着黑纱的樊月不停跪拜,不停鞠躬,也不停地收取着礼金。她漂
亮的脸上流着汗,神色倦怠,人们都说她可怜。

追思会很隆重,几十位战友前来告别,花篮花环连成一片。我姑姑姑父代表我们全家参加追思会,也送给了樊月ー笔不薄的礼金。

舅舅被安葬于台北县荣民墓地,樊月没有接受骨灰,委托退伍会代为保管。

2006年,我们为姥爷、姥姥和舅舅在北京建了墓,这是ー块很大的多穴墓地。我们希望,舅舅永远结束颠沛流离的日子,不再遭遇童年的绑架、青年的抓壮丁、壮年的妻离子散,不再受到贪财人的算计,不再孤独厮守。他的生命将得以轮回,就像小时候那样,又安睡在我姥爷、姥姥身边。

现在,我的首饰盒里躺着ー块碧绿鲜亮的缅甸A翠,也许有一天,我们能把舅舅的骨灰迎回来,那时,我就可以把这块绿翠送给舅舅了。

舅舅,中国的一位普通人。没有人知道他出生于何省何县,没有人知道他生身父母的姓名、籍贯;他在河南人看来是台湾人,他在台湾人看来是大陆人,他在北京警方被认为是台湾同胞,他在河南众亲友以及台湾柳太太、常小姐眼里是拥有财富的单身男人,他在妻子樊月眼里是个能够带来户籍与金钱的台湾丈夫。

这关乎ー个哲学命题一他是谁?从哪里来?

舅舅以长达68年的时间,不懈地寻找自己的家。这是灵魂对自己生命源头的膜拜,是生命对精神初始地的回归。不论这ー辈子有无荣华富贵,有无官位俸禄, 有无困顿屈辱,甚至有无肉体的生命形态,都不打紧,那种膜拜与回归正是中国化的人生归宿,它将无可阻挡地奔向安身立命之所,就仿佛是在完成前生的约定。

可是,当那终生约定不复存在的时刻,当那遥远的家园轰然坍塌的时刻,舅舅应该对谁膜拜?朝哪里回归?

现在,围绕舅舅涌动过的ー层涟漪已经复归平静。可是,还有多少像舅舅ー样归心似箭的台湾老兵找不到回家的路?还有多少像樊月那样在法律许可范围内以结婚名义堵截老兵返乡的人?还有怎样厚重的国民劣根元素,那些与他沾亲或不沾亲的乡友故人,打压着与舅舅ー样的老兵?

历史的书记官,从不记录小人物徒劳的牺牲。可是,我的舅,天底下有着与我舅相同命运的或生或死的舅舅们啊,你们是否打算宽恕这个民族对你们牺牲的遗忘?

哦,宽恕会留下无奈和辛酸;可不宽恕,你们、我们、大家,这个民族,还应该做些什么呢?

As one of the Confucian classics, the Book of Songs has always held a significant position in the development of the Chinese language and its culture since its compilation. It also has great significance in aesthetic research. Meanwhile, translation aesthetics is a desirable combination of aesthetics and translation studies, which provides both a good platform and a solid foundation for translation, especially for literary translation practice. In recent years, translation aesthetics has developed at a rapid pace in China, among which Mr. Liu Miqing's thoughts of translation aesthetics has gained wide recognition in the translation field.
This thesis, based on the perspective of Liu Miqing's translation aesthetics theory, takes the bilingual edition of the Book of Songs translated by Wang Rongpei as the research object. Starting from the diverse levels of formal aesthetic systems, namely, phonetics, vocabulary and syntax, it analyzes how Wang Rongpei, in the process of translating the Book of Songs into English, maximally reproduce the aesthetic value of the original poems while faithfully conveying their meaning.

Poetry is considered the highest realm of literary creation, characterized by its beautiful language and rich meaning. The Book of Songs is the oldest collection of poems in China, comprising Chinese poetry created from the 11th to the 6th century B.C.. It predominantly follows a four-character line structure, incorporates a large number of reduplicated words, and combines various sentence patterns, employing diverse rhetorical devices. It achieves harmony in sound and rhythm, possessing a unique beauty in both form and musicality. Therefore, in the process of translation, how to effectively convey these aesthetic factors becomes crucial to the success of the translated work.(Liu Wei, 2009)
The Book of Songs not only shines with the brilliance of Chinese traditional culture but has also attracted strong attention from translators around the world. Speaking specifically about English translations, since the 19th century, various versions of the translation of the Book of Songs have emerged, including those by James Legge, William Jennings, Arthur Waley, Cranmer-Byng, H.A. Giles, Zllen Upward, Helen Wandel, Ezra Pound, Yang Xianyi and Dai Naidie, Xu Yuanchong, and Wang Rongpei. These translations have played an important role in promoting Chinese culture. In comparison to translations in other languages, the English translations of the Book of Songs not only have a large quantity but also exhibit high quality, exerting a wide influence in academic circles and achieving significant research results.
Aesthetics has been an important part of Chinese and Western translation theory since the creation of the translation movement. For the Chinese in particular, the role of language and aesthetic judgement are closely linked. The influence of successive generations of scholars and translators on traditional Chinese aesthetic thought has been enormous. Professor Liu Miqing is an important part of contemporary study of translation aesthetics in China. He has applied traditional theories of Chinese aesthetics to the practice of translation. In his book An Introduction to Aesthetics in Translation, Liu Miqing explains aesthetics in terms of both the subject and the object of aesthetics, and discusses its characteristics.

= = = 2 Aesthetic Origins of Translation Study at Home and Abroad = = =

The aesthetic origins of translation, both in China and in the West, have a very ancient history. Although the integration of translation and aesthetics have developed in different trajectories at home and abroad, there are still many similarities.

2.1 The Source and Evolution of Translation Aesthetics in China
From the start, traditional Chinese theory of translation has been interwoven with philosophical aesthetics. In Old China, philosophers were primarily preoccupied with beauty. In the Spring and Autumn period, Confucius believed that content was as important as form. This view has played a large part in subsequent translation studies. Mao Ronggui once said: “Traditional Chinese translation theory is based on aesthetics”.(Mao Ronggui,2005:7)
In truth, the tradition of Chinese translation aesthetics has its origins in translations of Buddhist classics prior to the 1700s. Supporting Lao Zi’s idea, Zhi Qian insisted on “Keeping the original, unadorned translation”, and Dao An proposed“literal transferring in accordance with the original words and sentences” (Mao Ronggui,2005:7). In a word, the translators following Lao Zi’s philosophy believed that it is the content that counts in the translation process. Xuan Zang (602―664AD) who supported Confucian aesthetics thoughts focused on how to guarantee the truth of content and achieve the beauty of form at the same time.
In the late 1800s, Yan Fu proposed the most influential translation theory in the world, namely, faithfulness, smoothness and elegance. Faithfulness is a basic principle of translation, namely being true to the original work. Smoothness means that the translation is supposed to be articulate, easy to flow, intelligible and acceptable to the reader. Elegance stresses the beauty of the language of translation. Fu Lei introduced the theory of traditional Chinese painting into his translations and raised the theory “spiritual resemblance”. Qian Zhongshu's “sublimation” theory is the highest level in translation. Lin Yutang came up with “faithfulness, smoothness and elegance". Mr Xu Yuanchong put forward the “Three Beauties Theory” (beauty in sense, sound and image).
In principle, the traditional Chinese translation aesthetics are scattered remarks and standards, not scientific nor systematic enough. Despite the long history of translation aesthetics in China, it is only in modern times that translation aesthetics has truly become a discipline in its own right. Based on the traditional Chinese translation theories, contemporary translators exerted great efforts to make translation aesthetics a mature and systemic translation theory. In 1993, Practical Translation Aesthetics by Fu Zhongxuan, set a good tone for the advancement of translation aesthetics. From then on, more scholars began to do more profound research under its guidance. Liu Miqing's Introduction to the Aesthetics of Translation, published in 1995, laid the academic structure for modern translation aesthetics.
Another scholar Mao Ronggui further the studies in translation aesthetics. His publication Translation Aesthetics in 2005 is the first monograph taking translation aesthetics alone as the title. It provides an overview of the development of Chinese translation aesthetics in terms of translators, Chinese and English language features, interlanguage transfer, and translation practice.
Contemporary Chinese translation aesthetics is still in the development stage. It embodies the innovation of Chinese translation studies and promotes the role of Chinese translation studies in the world of translation studies.

2.2 The Aesthetic Source of Translation Study in the West
Indeed, aesthetics in translation did not emerge out of nowhere. Throughout history, we can see that both Western and Chinese translation theories have been inextricably linked to aesthetics. (Liu Miqing,2011:48). Before its formal introduction, We cannot ignore the long history of traditional aesthetics. Numerous Chinese and Western scholars and translators regard beauty as an important criterion for the evaluation of translation. However, their development tracks are diverse due to the differences in the social and cultural context in which they live.
In contrast to Chinese translation theory, the integration of aesthetics and translation in the West has been going on for a long time. In classical period, Marcus Tullius Cicero, a great philosopher, politician, rhetorical master, is known as “the forefather of translation theory in western literature” in ancient Rome. He strongly endorse the sense-for-sense translation while oppose the word-for-word translation (Bassnett,2004:50). Horace, the ancient Roman ironical master and lyric poet, is a faithful follower of Cicero. He viewed translation from the basic concept of art, emphasized the importance of natural beauty in literary translation and promoted the use of aesthetic criteria in translation. Their translation ideas can be considered as the “initial light” of western aesthetics. St. Jerome (347-420) and St. Augustine (354-430) are outstanding representatives of the classical Western philosophical-aesthetic theory. St. Jerome demonstrates that translation should be natural and simple. There are three styles of translation of St. Augustine: concise, elegant and dignified. His view is that the choice of the three styles depends on the demands of the reader. (Mao Ronggui,2005:13).
With the spread of Christianity between the 4th and 17th centuries, the translation of the Bible became the focus of attention for Western translators. The most influential translator of Bible was Martin Luther (1483-1546). He once attached great importance to the aesthetic value of translation (Bassnett,2002:44). John Dryden (1631-1700) was a renowned English literary master who advocated and practiced Cicero's theory of aesthetic translation. He held that the translator should possess the artistic ability of appreciation and expression as an artist does. He was also the first in the history of English translation to see translation as an art with clear principles.
Subsequently, in An Essay on the Principles of Translation, A.F. Tytler presented his renowned three principles of translation. In the 19th century, translator Matthew Arnold believed that when translating poetry, one should try to avoid unnaturalness and aim for fluency and beauty of language.
The famous French translator Paul Valéry suggested in the early 20th century that translations must retain the spirit of the original text and that the artistic ability of the translator depends largely on the translator's aesthetic perception of its true value. Benedetto Croce was an outstanding Italian critic and aesthete of the 20th century. In his book Estetica, he states that “translating literature is a process of artistic creation”. (Liang Jin,2015:8)

= = = 3 Aesthetic Features of the Book of Songs = = =

Being the earliest anthology of poetry in China and one of the earliest poetry collection in the world, the Book of Songs consists of 305 poems composed from Shang and Zhou Dynasty to mid and late Spring and Autumn, a span from 11th to 6th century BC.In terms of rhetorical devices, Fu, Bi and Xing profusely inlaid in poems, create plenty of vigorous images and profound artistic conceptions, embody emotions in its particularly ballad manner and make great contribution to the development of Chinese poetry. The application of Fu, Bi and Xing also contributes to the beauty in description, in connotation delivery and in poetic features particularly owned by Chinese poems. They are successively absorbed by later generations and reveal unnoticeable influence on literary development in later periods. In aspects of syntactical and textual structures, the four-word syntactic pattern, parallel and antithesis sentences are also inherited by following generation. In this way, through popularizing lyric poetry, rhetorical devices and various syntactic structures, the Book of Songs makes profound contributions to the development of Chinese classic poetry in the improvement of contents, stylistic format,artistic conception and in the structural managements. As the first collection of classic poems, the Book of Songs especially its love-related poems are endowed with several outstanding qualities: the sincere and plain emotions, vivid images, and the natural and pure languages. Poems in the Book of Songs are reputed for the purity and sincerity in emotions and simplicity in expression patterns without excessive rhetorical means. The naturalness of emotions lies in the euphemistic way of expression. Instead of speaking out certain feelings directly, poems in the Book of Songs usually adopt objects from the nature to symbolize feelings, which is called Bi stylistic device, or depicting things at the beginning of poems for the sake of later illustrations of the topic, which is called Xing stylistic device. The application of symbolic nature objects into poems makes the expression of emotions more vigorous and easier to be felt and comprehended. Then, the beauty in image is displayed by vivid images of person and object. （Yan Min, 2017)
Based on ancient totem meanings of nature objects and cultural connotations,object images in love poems in the Book of songs are designed to elicit or bear certain emotions, such as “turtledoves”from Wooing and Cooing represent love, “peach trees” from The Peach Tree symbolizes young woman,“riverbank” from Ru Feng for the waiting of love, “swallows” for the partings of love, “vines” for yearnings of love etc. Some scholars conclude that there are roughly 135 plants adopted in the Book of Songs including weed, flowering straws, plants for medical use and plants for clothes use (Liang, 2011, p.11). Also, a successful building ofimage lies in the unification of the object's form and spirit (Tan, 2012). The love-related poems not only focus on the vivid description of objects through onomatopoeic words or others strategies, but also emphasize the illustration of objects’ inner properties. In this way, the unification enriches the contextual meaning and helps to evoke aesthetic resonance and a better grasp of emotions among readers. Person images are also abundant in types and show the unification through combining static appearance with mental and dynamic activities. As for its language, the syntactic structure of four-character lines, invigorate
descriptions of images, exquisite display of person images' activities and less uses of stylistic devices,endue the language in love poems a feel of conciseness, purity and
meaningfulness.

= = = 4 Liu Miqing’s Aesthetics Thought in Translation = = =

As a kind of translation theory, translation aesthetics studies how the thought and content of a language are translated into another language more completely and more harmoniously. According to Mao Dun, literary translation is the use of other language to convey the artistic meaning of the original text, allowing the target reader to have the same illuminating, touching and delightful experience as the original readers does. But how can the aesthetics of the original text be expressed in the process of translation? (Xu Jun & Mu Lei,2009：248) As founding father of Chinese translation aesthetics, Liu Miqing has been dedicated to the study of translation theory and practice for numerous years.
Liu Miqing is one of the representative scholars in the study of translation aesthetics. Liu Miqing's An Introduction to the Aesthetics of Translation, published in 2005, is also an important work in the field of Chinese translation aesthetics. Starting from the basic principles of contemporary aesthetics, this article discusses the scientific and artistic properties of classical Chinese aesthetics, and the genesis and evolution of translation aesthetics in China and in the West. Moreover, he also discusses the aesthetic object and subject of translation, the aesthetic consciousness system, the basic and comprehensive levels of aesthetic artistic creation, aesthetic awareness and aesthetic reproduction. In the end, he also discusses aesthetics in the West. It can be said that Introduction to the Aesthetics of Translation reflects Liu Miqing's thinking on the Chinese translation aesthetics theories in a relatively comprehensive manner, and builds up a theoretical framework for the aesthetics of translation. Wang Jianguo makes the following assessment of it, “The author enters into an in-depth argument from the characteristics of the Chinese language and the aesthetic thought of the Chinese and Western, which not only laid a strong groundwork for the advancement of Chinese translation aesthetics, but also laid a research framework of the category for the overall construction of Chinese translation theory” (Wang Jianguo,2009:89) Due to length limitations, this article will only dwell his thoughts on aesthetic object and aesthetic subject

4.1 Liu Miqing’s Translation Aesthetics Thought Related to Aesthetic Subject
The aesthetic subject (AS) refers to the one who carries out aesthetic behavior on the aesthetic object. In translation, the translation aesthetic subject (TAS) directs at the translator. As Nida says, “Any discussion of the translation principles and procedures cannot be viewed in isolation from the translator himself”. (Nida,1964:145) On the whole, the aesthetic behavior of the aesthetic subject is influenced by factors like “interest”,“intention”,“will”and “concept” of the aesthetic consciousness system and so on. The aesthetic action of the aesthetic subject has two important duties: cognition and appreciation of beauty, creation and reproduction of beauty. In the process of translation, these two tasks are to receive and decode the aesthetic message from the SL discourse and to create or express the aesthetic message of the SL language through one's own subjective initiative. The subject of translation aesthetics bears two cardinal qualities: conformity to the aesthetic object and subordination to the subjectivity of the translator. (Liu Miqing, 2005: 172)

4.2 Liu Miqing's Translation Aesthetics Thought Related to Aesthetic Object
Aesthetic object (AO) is the target of human aesthetic activity. In the objective world, not everything is an AO. The so-called AO must be an objective thing that is in a relationship of opposition and unity with the aesthetic subject (AS). In case of translation, the “aesthetic object of translation”(TAO for short) refers to the original text that the translator is trying to translate and process. Similarly, not all original texts can be TAO. By TAO, we refers to a text that has aesthetic value (AV), therefore satisfies a certain aesthetic need of people. But translation is different from the ordinary aesthetic act of language. Translation is concerned with two different kinds of languages. Without AV, SL may also have a certain information value that deserves translation. We call this information value functional value (FV). A SL with FV has no artistic value, but its content is of certain significance as well. There are five essential attributes of TAO. Firstly, it is bonded to the aesthetic constitution of the source text. Secondly, it is consistent with the original beauty of the source text. Thirdly, it grants flexibility in the aesthetic apprehension of the aesthetic subject. Fourthly, it allows the variability of its aesthetic value caused by historical development. Fifthly, its aesthetic value is hierarchical, which means the aesthetic value of literary works and non-literary works belongs to different levels. (Liu Miqing,2005: 86) According to Liu Miqing, Aesthetic object contains two systems: the formal aesthetic system and the non-formal aesthetic system.
Formal beauty refers to the morphological characteristics of language, such as phonetics, vocabulary, syntax and so on. From the aesthetic point of view, “beauty of form” is a kind of beauty that can be felt visually and aurally. The components of the formal aesthetic system bears aesthetic merits, which can directly evoke the aesthetic emotions and pleasure of the reader. In the second chapter, the structure of various formal aesthetic systems is carefully dissected through specific examples.
In addition to the formal aesthetic system being more sensual and specific, there was also a different kind of abstract system, the non-formal aesthetic system. Liu Miqing points out that there are four main constituents of the non-formal aesthetic system: Emotions, Aspirations, Image and Emblem. (Liu Miqing,2005:141). Non-formal aesthetic system is indefinite, non-quantitative and boundless, so it is not a simple matter to understand the aesthetic value of a text from the perspective of its individual elements. As the man's mind cannot leave the man, so the aesthetic value is closely related to the integrity of the text. Its aesthetic significance lies not in an individual phoneme, word, or sentence, but in the integration of phonemes, words, and sentences. As Liu Shucheng says, “Inner beauty is the essential characteristics that are revealed through the perceptible external form.”(Liu Shucheng,2006:75).

Liu Miqing's theory of translation aesthetics is applicable to study on literary translation, particularly providing guidance and value in the translation of poetry. It contributes to a better understanding and exploration of the aesthetic representation in poetry translation. In the following text, based on Liu Miqing's translation aesthetics, we will analyze how Wang's translation of the Book of Songs reproduces the aesthetic value of the original poems, focusing on the aesthetic representation of the formal system at the phonetic, lexical, and syntactic levels.

5.1 Beauty of Sound
Sound is one of the basic formal means by which language carries aesthetic information. The aim of grasping the aesthetic formal information presented in this level is to obtain a formal or effectual correspondence between SL and TL in terms of goodness in sound (Liu Miqing, 2005: 90). In poetry, sound and rhythm are important elements of aesthetic beauty and are shared values in both Chinese and Western poetics. In the Book of Songs, the poems place emphasis on rhyme, featuring various rhyme schemes such as end rhymes, alliteration, and Sentence Rhymes. With a strong metrical sense, poems of the Book of Songs are easy to memorize and sing. Therefore, in translating those poems, it is necessary to convey the essence of the original rhyme and strive to maintain the rhyme. Now let's take a look at how Mr. Wang reproduces the beauty of sound in the original work.
知子之来之，杂佩以赠之。
知子之顺之，杂佩以问之。
知子之好之，杂佩以报之。
——《郑风·女曰鸡鸣》

I know you’re dear to me; Here is a jade for thee.
I know you’re kind to me; Here’s a second jade for thee.
I know you’re true to me; Here’s one more jade for thee.
（Wang Rongpei,1995)
The original poem praises the harmonious and sincere relationship between a young couple. Chinese poetry typically follows a fixed structure with a certain number of characters per line and often utilizes rhyme, resembling traditional English poetry. The original poem employs a consistent end rhyme scheme throughout, with alternating alliteration in every other line, creating a sense of completeness and harmony. If a translated poem fails to convey the beauty of sound and rhyme in the original text, it would be difficult to achieve a similar effect as the original poem. In Mr. Wang's translation, he also employs a consistent end rhyme scheme, with the same rhyme carried through to the end of each stanza. To avoid changing the rhyme midway, the translator cleverly uses the archaic English pronoun "thee" instead of "you," effectively maintaining the end rhyme /i:/. Additionally, the original poem features an alternating rhyme scheme of ABAB, and the translator adopts the same rhyme scheme, beginning each line with "I" or "Here." Mr. Wang's translation takes into account the beauty of musicality, meaning, and form of the original poem, maximizing the reproduction of the beauty of sound. The parallel structure and clear arrangement of the lines retain the musicality and aesthetic value of the original poem, and meanwhile effectively depicting a vivid and affectionate portrayal of the harmonious life of the couple, successfully achieving the corresponding aesthetic effect as the original poem.( Yang Fan, Wang Xiaomin,2020)

5.2 Beauty of Lexis
Just like sound, lexis is an essential carrier used to transmit aesthetic messages in language. Lexis boasts the strong ability to convey aesthetic assessment information, while according to Mr. Liu Miqing, words that possess aesthetic value are evidently carefully selected by the original language author. They usually conform to the three aesthetic criteria of "accurate, beautiful, and precise" which also serve as the aesthetic basis for translation. Chinese language has always attached importance to word selection, and therefore, in the process of translating the Book of Songs into English, word selection is equally crucial. Translators should strive to find words that are equivalent to the original text as much as possible, aiming to achieve the goal of "accurate, beautiful, and precise." They should remain faithful to the original meaning, reproduce the style of the original language, and ultimately provide readers with a sense of pleasure both intellectually and emotionally, allowing them to experience the enjoyment of beauty.

芄兰之支，童子佩觿。
虽则佩觿，能不我知？
——《卫风·芄兰》

Wistaria forked and soft, On the sash the boy wears oft.
On the sash the boy wears; My worth escapes him awareness.
（Wang Rongpei,1995)

The original poem depicts a woman's complaint about a "young lad" with whom she had a close relationship. They were childhood friends, carefree and innocent, but ever since the lad started wearing a decorative ornament called "觿(Xi)" (a pointed, horn-like accessory, symbolizing transition into adulthood), he has become increasingly indifferent towards her. "芄兰(Wanlan)" is a type of orchid plant. Due to its similarity in form to the "Xi," it evokes the woman's emotions as she associates it with the lad's distant and cold attitude. The translator renders“芄兰” as "Wistaria," which is also a climbing vine plant like the “芄兰”. This translation subtly conveys the woman's lingering affection for the man, reminiscing about the days when they were close. It aligns with the imagery in the original poem. Though Mr.Wang didn't deliberately pursue a sense of grandeur or flamboyance by using any fancy words, his translation also allows readers to experience great pleasure. Therefore, it can be seen that in terms of vocabulary, Mr.Wang's translation conveys the aesthetic information of the original text and also meets the aesthetic standards of "accurate, beautiful, and precise". ( Yang Fan, Wang Xiaomin,2020)

5.3 Beauty of Syntax

Another important aspect in formal system is syntax, which can also effectively carry the aesthetic information. Generally speaking, syntax refers to the arrangement of sentences. The aesthetic information at syntactic level is divided into three categories. The first category is syntactic deviations, namely using the ambiguity of grammar to produce beauty. The second category is frequency, namely to produce beauty by using the strength of repetition. The third category is pragmatic, functional syntactic arrangement. In a specific given context, the sentence uses the integrity of form, harmony and unity to produce beauty thus carries aesthetic information.The Book of Songs exhibits notable characteristics in this aspect, with frequent use of parallelism and repetition in its verses. The poetic lines create a circular and rhythmic structure, which effectively enhances the atmosphere, deepens the main theme, and uplifts the underlying message. Therefore, it is not an easy task for translators to recreate the aesthetic value of syntax at the level of poetry during the translation process.

采采芣苢，薄言采之。采采芣苢，薄言有之。
采采芣苢，薄言掇之。采采芣苢，薄言捋之。
采采芣苢，薄言袺之。采采芣苢，薄言襭之。
——《周南·芣苢》
The plantain seeds are green; Pick up the seeds in haste!
The plantain seeds are green; Store up the seeds in haste!
The plantain seeds are green; Collect the seeds in haste!
The plantain seeds are green; Harvest the seeds in haste!
82The plantain seeds are green; Carry the seeds in haste!
The plantain seeds are green; Bring home the seeds in haste!
（Wang Rongpei,1995)

"The Song of Plantain-Pulling" is a joyful song of labor, sung by the farmers while picking Asiatic Plantain(芣苢, fú yǐ). The poem consists of three stanzas, each with four lines, characterized by repeated phrases and parallelism and with only six verbs—“采”、“有”、“掇”、“捋”、“袺”、“襭”, which vividly depicts the process of labor, brimming with the joy and enthusiasm of labor. This form of parallelism, antithesis, and repetition is a common aesthetic in the Chinese language.When translating this poem into English, the translator emphasizes preserving the formal beauty of parallelism and repetition in the original poem. The verbs “采”、“有”、“掇”、“捋”、“袺”、“襭” are translated as "Pick up," "Store up," "Collect," "Harvest," "Carry," and "Bring home," respectively. Although the number of words may vary, this choice is mainly made to ensure the integrity of meaning and compatibility with English usage.
In addition, the translation frequently reproduces the sentence pattern, such as "The plantain seeds are green; ... the seeds in haste!" This seemingly monotonous repetition, however, creates a sense of simplicity, repetition, and musicality. It enhances both the visual and auditory beauty, strengthens the emotional impact of the language, and provides readers with a great sense of aesthetic pleasure. It is evident that the translation recreates the aesthetic value of the original poem at the syntactic level and serves as an exemplary model for poets and translators to appreciate and learn from.( Yang Fan, Wang Xiaomin,2020).

= = = Conclusion = = =
Based on the translation aesthetics of Mr. Liu Miqing, this thesis explores the aesthetic representation of the formal system in the Book of Songs (Chinese-English version), including the phonetic level, the lexical level, and the syntactic level. At the phonetic level, the translator demonstrates a proficient understanding of the expressive forms of phonetic beauty in both Chinese and English poetry. During the process of language conversion, the translator considers important phonetic factors such as rhyme and reduplication, emphasizes rhyme, and effectively conveys the musicality and aesthetic value of the original poems. At the lexical level, the translator attaches importance to the selection of words and refining of characters. They strive to faithfully convey the original poem's meaning, ensuring equivalence between the imagery in the original and translated poems, while also meeting the requirements of the target language's linguistic domain. By maintaining consistency with the style of the original poem, the translation reproduces its style and meaning, enabling readers of the target language to fully appreciate the beauty of Chinese poetry. At the syntactic level, the translator focuses on the frequent use of conventional sentence patterns, utilizing the power of repetition to create aesthetic appeal. By skillfully reproducing the aesthetic information conveyed through the syntactic structure of the original poems, the translation maximizes the representation of the original poems' aesthetic value. It allows readers of the translated poems to experience an aesthetic effect corresponding to that of the original poems. ( Yang Fan, Wang Xiaomin,2020)
Mr. Wang Rongpei and Mr. Ren Xiuhua, based on their fidelity to the original poetic meaning, have maximized the aesthetic value of the original poems in their translations. Their translations enable readers of the translated poems to experience an aesthetic effect similar to that of the original poems' readers.
Through the research and discussion of the translation aesthetics in Wang's translation of the Book of Songs, this thesis aims to draw the attention of translators to the aesthetics of poetry translation, convey the charm of Chinese poetry classics, and contribute to the promotion of the dissemination of Chinese cultural classics internationally.

= = =1. Introduction = = =
= = =1.1 Background and Context of Confucianism and Western Philosophy = = =
Confucianism, originating from ancient China, has been a prominent philosophical and ethical tradition for over two millennia. Its profound influence on various aspects of Eastern thought and culture is widely recognized. Simultaneously, Western philosophy has evolved through diverse schools of thought and intellectual movements, shaping the philosophical landscape of the Western world. The interaction and exchange between Confucianism and Western philosophy have played a significant role in the development of both traditions.1
Confucianism emphasizes moral cultivation, ethical behavior, and the pursuit of harmonious social relationships. It offers a comprehensive worldview that encompasses ethics, politics, education, and social structures. Western philosophy, on the other hand, has explored fundamental questions about knowledge, ethics, politics, and metaphysics, giving rise to diverse philosophical schools, such as existentialism, utilitarianism, and deontology. The encounter between these two traditions has led to a cross-pollination of ideas, generating intellectual dialogues and influencing the evolution of Western philosophical and ethical thought.

= = =1.2 Importance and relevance of studying the influence of Confucianism on Western philosophy and ethics = = =
Studying the influence of Confucianism on Western philosophy and ethics holds significant importance and relevance. Firstly, it fosters cross-cultural understanding and promotes dialogue between Eastern and Western intellectual traditions. By exploring the interplay of ideas and values, we can gain insights into the universal aspects of human thought while appreciating the richness of cultural diversity.
Secondly, understanding the influence of Confucianism on Western philosophy and ethics enriches our understanding of the historical development of Western thought. Confucianism, as an ancient and enduring tradition, offers alternative perspectives on fundamental questions in ethics, political philosophy, and human nature. Its influence challenges and expands the Western philosophical canon, contributing to a more comprehensive and inclusive understanding of human philosophizing. 2

Lastly, the examination of the influence of Confucianism on Western philosophy and ethics has implications for contemporary ethical debates and global society. As cultural boundaries blur and societies become increasingly interconnected, acknowledging the influence of Confucian ideas in the West enables the exploration of shared values and the possibility of cross-cultural ethical dialogue. It provides opportunities for reevaluating existing ethical frameworks and envisioning new ethical perspectives that embrace both Eastern and Western insights.

= = =1.3 Research question(s) and objectives of the literature review = = =
This systematic literature review aims to explore the influence of Confucianism on Western philosophy and ethics. It seeks to address the following research questions:
a. How has Confucianism influenced key themes and concepts in Western philosophy and ethics?
b. In what ways has Confucian thought shaped specific Western ethical theories and frameworks?
c. Which Western philosophers have engaged with Confucianism, and how has it influenced their work?
d. What are the implications of cross-cultural dialogue between Confucianism and Western philosophy for contemporary ethical discourse?

The primary objectives of this literature review are to analyze and synthesize existing research to provide a comprehensive understanding of the influence of Confucianism on Western philosophy and ethics. By exploring the intersections, exchanges, and adaptations between these two traditions, this review aims to shed light on the diverse ways Confucian ideas have shaped Western philosophical and ethical thought.

= = =2. Overview of the methodology employed for the review = = =
This literature review will follow a systematic approach to gather and analyze relevant research on the influence of Confucianism on Western philosophy and ethics. The methodology will involve the following steps:
a. Identification of key databases and sources: Appropriate academic databases, such as JSTORCNKI, Google Scholar, and relevant journals, will be searched for relevant articles and publications in English and Chinese.
b. In order to conduct comprehensive research, the following steps were taken: First, a search was performed on the Google Scholar database using Boolean operators. The keywords used were (Confucianism or Confucius or Western philosophy in subject terms) AND (Confucius or influence or Western philosophy in abstract) AND (influence on Western philosophy or ethics in abstract) (Confucianism OR Confucius thought OR Confucian) AND (Influence). Second, a separate search was conducted on CNKI using the keywords "儒家思想" AND "西方思想" OR "西方哲学" OR "西方伦理". Therefore, these thesis are downloaded and analyzed.

= = =3. Historical Interactions between Confucianism and Western Philosophy= = =
As part of the literature review, a specific section will focus on the historical interactions between Confucianism and Western philosophy. This section will analyze and synthesize relevant historical accounts, scholarly works, and primary sources that shed light on the encounters, exchanges, and influences between these two traditions. It will explore instances of cross-cultural engagement, translations of Confucian texts, and the reception of Confucian ideas in Western philosophical thought throughout different historical periods. 5

The systematic approach used in this literature review aims to minimize bias, ensure comprehensiveness, and provide a rigorous analysis of the influence of Confucianism on Western philosophy and ethics. By following a systematic methodology, the review aims to identify and synthesize the most relevant and reliable sources to address the research questions effectively.

= = = 3.1 Overview of historical exchanges between Confucianism and Western philosophy= = =
Confucianism and Western philosophy have a long history of encounters and exchanges, with notable interactions occurring during different periods. This section provides an overview of these historical engagements, key figures involved, and the influence of Confucianism on Western philosophical thought.
The dissemination of Confucianism in the West can be divided into the following periods based on the different propagators: the period of Jesuit missionaries, the Renaissance and Enlightenment period, the period of Protestant missionaries, the period of sinologists, and the period of Confucius Institutes.
Due to differences in social environments and levels of economic development, these periods exhibited distinct characteristics in the dissemination of Confucian thought, which also had varying impacts on Western thinking.

= = =3.2 The Period of Jesuit Missionaries = = =
This period spanned nearly two hundred years, from 1579 when the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci arrived in China for missionary work to 1773 when Pope Clement XIV dissolved the Society of Jesus.
During this period, the main missionaries who came to China for evangelization were a large group of Jesuits such as Matteo Ricci, Adam Schall von Bell, and Ferdinand Verbiest, who possessed modern scientific knowledge.
With the purpose of evangelization, they made efforts to learn Chinese, compiled dictionaries, and "diligently translated the Four Books, the Five Classics, and other Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist classics."(Xie Henai,2011)
In the process of studying the Chinese language and conducting missionary work, they were influenced by Confucian thought and attempted to integrate Confucianism with Christian culture, for example, by equating God with the ancient Chinese concept of the "Supreme Emperor."
This practice sparked a "Rites Controversy" that lasted for over a hundred years and ultimately led to Emperor Kangxi issuing a comprehensive ban on Christianity, resulting in immeasurable losses for both sides.

= = =3.3 Renaissance and Enlightenment Era = = =
The Renaissance period witnessed increased European contact with East Asian cultures, leading to a deeper exploration of Confucianism by Western scholars.
Jesuit missionaries, such as Matteo Ricci and Adam Schall von Bell, immersed themselves in Confucian thought and sought to reconcile it with Christianity.(Wang Qian2010,310)
Enlightenment thinkers, including Voltaire and Montesquieu, incorporated Confucian principles in their discussions on governance, ethics, and social order.
The Enlightenment philosopher Montesquieu once praised the moral standards of the Chinese people, stating,
"The Chinese live under the most perfect and practical moral system, which no one in this part of the world possesses."(Louis Desgraves1991,809)
One of the most prolific discussants and admirers of Confucianism is undoubtedly the Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire.
Voltaire's strong admiration and embellishment of Confucius and Confucian thought earned him the title of "Europe's Confucius."
He proclaimed, "In matters of morality, Europeans should become disciples of the Chinese."3(Voltaire1991.)

= = =3.4 The Period of Protestant Missionaries= = =
This period spanned from 1812 when the Protestant missionary Robert Morrison published "The Proverbs of China: Translated from Chinese Popular Literature" to 1904 when Gu Hongming published an English translation of "Zhongyong" in Shanghai.
During this period, there were many individuals involved in the dissemination of Confucian thought, such as Robert Morrison, David Abeel, and James Legge.
Particularly, James Legge translated the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" into English and wrote various research works.
However, unlike the Jesuit missionaries, Protestant missionaries had a different approach. Their objective was not to philosophically compare and explore the similarities and possibilities of integrating Confucian and Christian thoughts.
Instead, they sought to incorporate Confucian thought into the Christian system by translating Confucian classics and integrating Christian ideas into them, often emphasizing the superiority of Christian thought over Confucianism, all in the aim of spreading the gospel.
Consequently, during this period, Confucian thought did not have a significant impact in the West.
Besides the influence of missionaries, other factors such as China's lower standing in the minds of Westerners due to its socio-political situation and slower economic modernization also contributed to this limited impact.

= = =3.5 The Period of Sinologists = = =
This period can be divided into two phases: pre-war and post-war, with the Second World War serving as the dividing point. In the pre-war phase, scholars such as Ezra Pound, Arthur Waley, and Lin Yutang primarily focused on translating Confucian classics.
During this period, the contradictions of capitalist society were becoming increasingly apparent, and conscientious intellectuals sought solutions for governing the world.
They discovered Confucian thought and believed that "Confucianism was urgently needed in the West, as it provided a blueprint for the future world order and could help create a paradise on Earth."(杨平2011, 11)
Indeed, the core principles of Confucianism, such as "benevolence," "ritual," and "filial piety," aimed to establish a harmonious society based on hierarchical relationships.
Whenever the world was in turmoil or faced moral crises, Confucian thought was often seen as a remedy.
After the Second World War, the world entered a relatively peaceful era, and Confucian thought ceased to be seen as a remedy for governance but rather entered the realm of academia, becoming a subject of scholarly research.
During this phase, notable scholars such as Herbert Fingarette, Chen Rongjie, and Liu Dianjue emerged, focusing on the theoretical understanding and study of Confucian thought.

= = =3.6 The Contemporary Significance of Neo-Confucian Philosophy = = =
According to Stephen C. Angle in Sagehood: The Contemporary Significance of Neo-Confucian Philosophy, he
combined historical context with preliminary philosophical exploration into the ideassignificances. He used sheng 聖or“sage.”as an example. The pursuit of sagehood is critical to both the theory and practice ofNeo-Confucianism.
The importance of sagehood goes well beyond the extremely unlikely possibility that any of us will actually attain it, because the ever-present goal of ethical improvement that Neo-Confucianism puts before each of us is understood
in terms of its connection to our ultimate objective namely sagehood.( Stephen C. Angle 2009,5)
He has been interested in a focused philosophical dialogue what happens when the Neo Confucian idea of sagehood and its attendant doctrines are put into contact with contemporary Western philosophy? The comparisons that are relevant to my goals,
therefore,are quite specificconfined mainly to the personalityideals lying in the background of contemporary Western discussions of virtue theory.
I will look first at two Greek notions,the concepts of sophoswhich is often translated as “sage," and phronimos, which itself is sometimes rendered“sage” or “moral sage," and may also be understood as“gentleman.”
Then he turns to a set of terms that are used in contemporary Western discussions,including(moral) hero and (moral) saint.

Ideas of sagehood in Greece are often bound up with a conception of divinity, which is a realm of perfection separate from humanity Only gods are truly wise though humans can and should aspire after wisdom(sophia); those who do so are lovers of sophia, or“philosophers.”
Since these individuals love and aspire to something that is fundamentally different from our limited human knowledge though, Greek theorists generally recognize that its pursuit requires a rupture with everyday life.
They argue that people should seek to shape their lives by spiritual exercises that bring divine wisdom tantalizingly closer. For many thinkers, the best human life (i.e,the life of happiness or“eudaimonia”) is the life of contemplation(“theoria”).
The upshot of all this is that even though the use of“spiritual exercises” to shape one in pursuit of perfection resonates strongly with Neo-Confucian ideas the impossibility of actually living a human life as a sophos has important consequences.
The Neo-Confucian pursuit of sagehood does not involve the same kind of rupture with everyday life; indeed,one of the most telling Neo-Confucian critiques oftheir Buddhist rivals was precisely that the latter did call for a rupture with everyday life.
When the ideal of phronimos is brought into the picture, things get even more interesting. The phronimos is the practically wise person(i.e. the person with“phronesis”) who excels not so much in contemplation as in practical activity(“praxis”).
Most of Aristotle’s famous treatise on ethics, the Nichomachean Ethics, is devoted to the virtues and practical wisdom of the phronimos and it seems to detail a life of happiness that, in its well-rounded sociality, contrasts with the life of contemplation,
which is self-contained and has only minimal reliance on external goods. When one leading interpreter of Aristotle describes the phronimos as a“gentleman”8[Rorty198o, 386],it is tempting to think that whereas in the Confucian context,
he argued that junzi and sage are fundamentally continu ous with one another, in the Greek context, two distinct ideals the practical, human-centered life of the phronimos or gentleman and the contem- plative divine-oriented life of the philosopher striving to become a sophos are offered.

= = =4. Confucian Thought in Dialogue with Western Ethics= = =
The last few decades have seen increasing diversity in philosophical approaches to Confucian thought.
Approaches rooted in European and Anglophone thought have generated new ways of reading the texts,and also enriched debates in Western philosophy or even created new ones.
Such boundary-crossing work has arisen across philosophical disciplines, including epistemology(Allen 2015),the philosophy of language (Geaney 2018), metaphysics (Liu 2017)and aesthetics(Shusterman2009).
Western scholars have also explored feminist perspectives consistent with the Confucian tradition, thus accommodating gender in a way that is absent from classical texts (Rosenlee 2012; Foust and Tan 2016).
One area where Anglophone theory has been actively developed to categorize and open Confucian texts to wider cross-cultural engagement is ethics. Particularly prominent have been readings of classical Confucian thought structured around Western ethical theories such as(Kantian)deontology, consequentialism,care ethics and virtue ethics.The most sustained dialogue has focus on an ethics of virtue. This has seen comparative studies of Chinese and Greek thinkers(Sim 2007;Yu2009), questions about whether'virtue ethics’is an appropriate way to conceptual ize that tradition (Lee 2017), and attempts to reconstruct a Confucian virtue ethics.

Van Norden (2007,2013) argues that classical Confucian thought yields a naturalistic virtue ethics, since it has a conception of human flourishing and recognizes virtues that are instrumental to that goal.The Confucian picture of the good life is distinctive, however.Ritual is central, since it structures human emotions and inculcates appropriate attitudes to social life,as are aesthetic appreciation and a heightened concern for the special bonds of kinship and family(Van Norden 2007102-117).Integral to this vision of living well is thus a distinctive set of virtues which include“humaneness [ren]，wisdom[智zhi]，devotion [忠zhong], and faith fulness[信xin]”(2007: 125).
A virtue ethics rooted in the Analects thus differs from canonical Western analogues, Aristotle’s contemplative eudaimonia. Intellectual virtues, including sustained reflective deliberation, play only a minor role in the Analects. Emphasis on the particularistic bonds of family life also distinguishes Confucian well-being. Thus, studying Confucian thought as an ethics of virtue can, as with Fingarette's account, help generate conceptions of flourishing beyond those found in the Western canon.

The equation of Confucian ethics with virtue ethics has faced various responses. One is defenses of alternative conceptions of Confucian ethics, such as Mencian consequentialism (Im 2011)and Confucian care ethics(L Chenyang李晨陽1994). These approaches also face challenges, however (Tiwald 2010: 60,Star 2002; Lambert 2016). More directly,LEE Ming-huei(2017) argues that virtue is not a useful explanatory category In Confucian thought, partly due to the vagueness and ambiguity of the notion. Lee argues that teleology(consequentialism) and deontology are the only possible grounds of normative judgment logically excluding a third type of ethics”(2017: 51), and that Confucian ethics is best understood as a species of deontological ethics. In this,he echoes recent work in Kantian ethics on the importance of virtue to compliance with the moral law;virtue is important but the normative ground of moral action remains universalizing reason(Johnson and Cureton 2018;Baron 2011).Virtues, particularly in so for as they are relativized to a tradition, as in Van Norden’s study, may be unable to resolve moral disagreement when it arises between different communities or traditions, and conflict resolution is arguably one of the purposes of moral theory. Much depends here on whether such universal accord or principle is necessary for a viable ethics, and whether moral relativism is pernicious or benign(Wong2009).
Another objection to Confucian virtue ethics derives from the characterization of Confucian ethics in terms of generic human qualities or traits. The relationships constituting the family life of Confucians are, on this view, better understood in terms of an ethic of roles. In extremis, this is a quasi-metaphysical view that human
beings are constituted entirely by their roles Rosemont and Ames 2009). More subtly, Ames (2011) argues that the lived experience of playing a role such as a father, incrementally builds into a pattern of action appropriate to that role. While generalized norms governing a particular social station matter, a role develops beyond this, coming to include a highly personalized interpretation of how to be a good father. Focusing on virtues as generic excellences obscures such personalization of a role and the many idiosyncratic norms, insights and emotions that arise through personal experience and then guide action within that role.
Whether such an account is best described as a“role”and whether classical Confucian accounts of family life can accommodate such particularistic understandings is debatable. Notably, however, defenders of Confucian virtue ethics also emphasize particularistic decision-making in the Analects(Van Norden 2007:99). Another challenge to the role ethics approach and particularly its claims to be a sut generis moral theory, is that it might be unnecessary(Angle 2018). Undoubtedly, Confucian ethics should not be reductively co-opted by existing Western theory; however, Angle argues, the emergence of more nuanced understandings of Confucian thought mean that a strong emphasis on incommensurability is no longer needed to ensure open-minded engagement with Confucian thought.Furthermore. advances in virtue ethical theory offer the best way to articulate the Confucian ethical vision. Nevertheless,role ethics is developing as a field in Anglophone philosophy (Evans and Smith 2018).

=== Introduction ===
Dream, a common physiological phenomenon, happens during our sleep. It is a mixture of real and unreal, attracting many scholars through all ages to make researches on it. In China, the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams and Huangdi Neijing are two famous books in dream’s interpretation. “Dating back to the Zhou Dynasty, dream officers gave a great push to dream classification. According to Zhouli Chunguan, dream officers divided dreams into six types by observing the positions of the sun, the moon and the stars.” (王健 2012，217) As for Huangdi Neijing in the pre-Qin period, it related dreams to people’s the five internal organs and Yi Yang, etc. (王健 2012，217).
For the West, the most famous book of dream interpretation is The Interpretation of Dreams, which was written by Sigmund Freud. This book is based on Artemidorus’ book—Interpretation of dreams, and combines with Freud’s clinical experience. Whereafter, many masters in psychoanalysis like Carl Gustav Jung and Alfred Adler have shown up, starting to study dreams from different perspectives.

=== The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams ===
The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams is a fortune-telling book according to people’s dream. Because the book is of uncertain day, so some would be doubtful for its existence. After reading the remark of Chang Feng-i, Roberto Keh Ong “tentatively proposes that the Chou-kung chieh meng was already in existence, and quite popular at that, in the sixteenth century.” (Roberto Keh Ong 1981, 6) Since the beginning sentence of the book is “夜有纷纷梦，神魂预吉凶”, “This sets the tone of the text, which means that those good fortune or bad fortune symbolized by dream are omens presented by spirits or ghosts.” (贠培基 2012, 46) But what is affirmative is that the book has a great influence in China, providing the basis of dream interpretation and enlightening people to focus on dream.
In Zhouli Chunguan, it divided dreams into six different types, they are 正、噩、思、悟、喜、惧, which indicates that how the dreams come into existence and their nature. “正梦” means an ordinary dream without causing any pulse; “噩梦”，means a stunning dream; “思梦”means a dream that misses others or thinking about something; “悟梦”means a daydream; “喜梦”means a dream that makes you feel happy; “惧梦” means a horrible dream that makes people frightened.
In the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams, there are four methods of dream interpretation:
 The method of Zhi Meng. It means what you see in the dream will happen in the reality.
 The method of Ce Zi. “The oneiromancer departs a Chinese character into several parts and endows them with special symbolic meaning, and uses these meaning to tell the fortune.” (汤叶舟 2015, 84）
 The method of Xie Yin. It means the oneiromancer compare the dream with the omen in reality, and find out the same pronunciation of them to judge the dream is good or not good.
 The method of Yi Xiang. It means to highlight a single thing in the dream then endow it with special meaning. And the omen from the dream would be got after comparing it with the reality.

=== Huangdi Neijing ===
Huangdi Neijing is the first medical book in China, which contains Lingshu and Suwen these two sections. “This book uses Huangdi as a part of its name, which is finished between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is not finished in a short time, an also be done with only one man. It comprehensively summarizes medical achievements before the Qin and Han Dynasties, laying the foundation of theoretical basis of TCM.” (王凤香 2007，23)
Though it is a medical book, it also refers to oneirology, and analyzes the causes of dream, the mechanism of dream formation and the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome.
Huangdi Neijing explores the reason why dreams happen in many aspects, and there are six points about it:
 The attack of Liu Yin Xie Qi. In TCM, Liu Yin Xie Qi means six pathogenesis cause by eternal stimulus: wind, coldness, heat (often happens in the summer), wetness, dryness, and heat. When failing to adapt to the changeable weathers, people may feel ill and then dreams occur.
 The influence brought by the change of Qiqing. Qiqing refers to seven emotions: happiness, anger, concern, missing, sorrow, scare and fear. Huangdi Neijing reckons that they would happen in dreams, thus their variations in dreams could reflect the physiological and pathological basis of different viscera.
 The dysfunction of viscera.
 The qi of yin and yang in the human body becomes over strong or over weak.
 The state of the body itself.
 Inappropriate treatment.
About the mechanism of dream formation, the book uses these four theories to analyze it: Yin Yang theory, Five-element theory, viscera picture theory and Ying Wei theory.
In terms of the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome, Huangdi Neijing takes Yin and Yang as the general principle of dream syndrome differentiation, brings the syndrome differentiation of viscera into the system of dream syndrome differentiation, and carries out the etiological analysis and differentiation. For the treatment of dream syndrome, the book states that one is to implement the general principle of “实则泻之，虚则补之”; and the other one is “合于五诊”.

=== The Interpretation of Dreams ===
The Interpretation of Dreams is a psychological work by Sigmund Freud, a psychologist from Austria and the founder of psychoanalysis. He interprets dreams by many experiments with a rational thinking, and pioneers modern dream interpretation.
In this book, “Freud argues that dreams contain meaningful information about the dreamer’s unfulfilled, unconscious wishes.” (William J. Jenkins 2017, 10) That is to say that in Freud’s perspective, dream represents a wish-fulfilment. And he also uses an example to explain it: “If, in the evening, I eat anchovies, olives, or other strongly salted foods, I am thirsty at night, and therefore I wake. The waking, however, is preceded by a dream, which has always the same content, namely, that I am drinking.” And he draws a conclusion on it: “From this sensation arises the wish to drink, and the dream shows me this wish as fulfilled.” (Sigmund Freud 1999, 25-26)
Therefore, Freud mainly uses psychoanalysis to interpret dreams, which is quite different from Chinese dream interpretation methods. And what is the most different point is that he uses sex to interpret dreams from a perspective of a psychologist, so he presents the famous Oedipus complex and Electra complex in this book.

中国古代的科举制度
===摘要===

===Introduction===
===Origin===
During the Wei, Jin dynasties, the emperor adopted the method of "Nine-rank system" to select talents. However, the system was controlled by powerful families, and only the children of senior officials could be officials, which led to the solidification of the class and the inability to appoint people on the basis of capability. Whereas, in order to consolidate their rule, the rulers also gradually changed their talent selection. Some contents of the imperial examination had already sprout in the Han Dynasty, but this paper still considers the Sui Dynasty as the real origin. The book ''Datang Xinyu'' wrote by Liu Su said:" Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed the Ming and Jin two subjects"(周奇金滢坤, 2022). It was the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who changed the examination to regular, held every year, further carried forward, and finally became a clear beginning of the system.
Emperor Yang Jian of Sui dynasty understood the danger of being subject to the high rank and nobility, abolishing the "Nine-rank system". He carried out the system of selecting scholars by subject, and set up state and county schools to test students, and the state could also send talents to the central government for examination and employment. Emperor Yang set up Jinshi Branch, the school students can directly apply for the school, not to the state, county entrance examination, after passing the state, county sent to the central examination(李亚彬, 2020). Sui Dynasty broke through the old rules of the previous dynasties and created a considerable number of new subjects, which started the system of the Tang Dynasty. The standard of selecting talents gradually changed from morality to examination.
===Development===
However, Sui dynasty lasted only thirty-seven years, which meant that the imperial examination system had been introduced in the Sui dynasty but could not be further developed. Therefore, the important task was carried out by the rulers of the Tang dynasty. Tang dynasty attached great importance to the cultivation and selection of talents. After the founding of the Tang dynasty, several generations of rulers put the emphasis on to the imperial examination and took relevant measures. The first emperor of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan put forward the regular date of“every october”to go to the court for examination, and clarified the local pre-examination of the state and county, which is equivalent to the "Provincial Examination" method of later generations. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, greatly expanded the scale of the college, the school cottages and increased the number of students. Wu Zetian set up a military examination. It held by the Ministry of War examiners, mainly to assess students 'military strength. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, poetry and Fu became the main examination content of Jinshi. Also, during his reign, the court admitted many talented people. The method of selecting scholars by poetry and Fu also greatly promoted the prosperity of Tang poetry(王一汕, 2010).
Song Dynasty was also an important period for the development and reform of the imperial examination system. After the development of Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system of Song Dynasty became mature and complete(邓叶倩, 2019). For one thing, in terms of the form, in Song dynasty, the emperor's personal visit to the palace examination turned into a custom. At the same time, reform measures such as sealing and transcription were taken. Sealing(Mi Feng), that is, the examinee's name, native place and other records on the examination paper sealed up. Transcription is that the palace examination papers will be sent to copy by other people, and then examine the official review. These measures greatly increased the fairness of the examniation, so that more talented and learned people can enter the officialdom, and these reforms even had a profound impact on the modern examination system. However, these measures required a large amount of manpower and material resources, so by the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Song dynasty, the imperial examination was officially held every three years. For another, as for the content, Song dynasty strengthened the status and importance of Ce Lun in the imperial examination. With the rise of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty, the ability of thinking also became an important standard for assessment. In the Song Dynasty, the emperors abolished the examination of poetry and Fu, and replaced it with the examination of the meaning, theory and policy of the classics.
Since then, the basic form and content of the imperial examination system tend to be complete. The imperial examination was held every three years, mainly divided into the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination and the palace examination. In the autumn, the provincial examination was held by each state, The first name is Jieyuan. The metropolitan examination was held in the spring of the following year by the Ministry of Rites, the first name will be called Huiyuan. The palace examination was held in the following month and presided over by the emperor. The first name was Zhuangyuan. Getting the first place three times in a row is known as the "the three consecutive Yuan(Lian Zhong San Yuan)", and ancient China has also appeared such talents. Through the layer upon layer selection at district, provincial and national levels, outstanding talents are called “jinshi”. Such elites obtained qualifications to enter the final examination hosted by the emperor, and were conferred different ranks official positions according to their performance. Because of this, the imperial examination system (keju) had become the main way for all civilians to start their official careers (Ho, 1962).
===Completion===
The Yuan dynasty saw an eighty-year suspension of the imperial examinations, which were later restored, but with increasing inequality, mainly to protect the privileges of the Mongols and reduce the number of Han officials. This phenomenon did not change until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the period when the imperial examination system was flourishing, but it was also the period when it was ending.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial power gradually reached its peak. In order to consolidate the imperial power, the rulers took the imperial examination system as the most important tool to absorb talents. The social atmosphere gradually changed, and many scholars took the imperial examination as their lifelong goal, and "To be a scholar is to be the top of society." became the motto of most scholars at that time.
With the increasing importance of the imperial examination, the emperors carried out a series of reforms on it. First, the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties became a huge system with various levels, rules and regulations. In addition to the above-mentioned several types of examinations, there are new types of examinations: the imperial examinations to admit scholars and county examination(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022), a total of five types of examinations. As a result, many people began to study hard for the imperial examination from a very young age, devoting their whole lives to the imperial examination system. The minimum age for the examination was greatly lowered during this period.
In terms of examination content. To further strengthen their rule and control over the people's thoughts, the rulers of the Qing dynasty limited the imperial examinations to stereotyped writing(bagu). The stereotyped writing(bagu) are that the paragraphs written in the examination articles are fixed, and the scope of the examination is also set and limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, and no other ideas are allowed to exist. Under the implementation of this kind of policy, the stereotyped writing fettered the scholar's thought, and the theory of Chengs and Zhu Xi became rigid under the guidance of the imperial examination system. Scholars have spent their whole lives studying the writing of stereotyped writing, lacking understanding of politics and social reality. Intellectuals 'thinking is solidified and they weren’t able to think out of box. Gu Yanwu, the great mind in late Ming dynasty, once said: "The harm of stereotyped writing is equivalent to burning books." From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the advantages of selecting scholars from stereotyped writing increasingly decreased and the disadvantages gradually increased, which became one of the important factors for the stagnation of national development and the decline of national strength in the late Qing Dynasty.
===End===
In the late Qing Dynasty, due to foreign aggression, China continued to cede territory and pay reparations, and popular discontent ran high. The Qing Dynasty was in serious crisis and emperors wanted to consolidate the rule through reform. Meanwhile, the westernization movement continued to develop, and many western thoughts and ideas spread to China as well(徐云, 2022). Therefore, in order to meet requirements of national development, the content of the imperial examination was constantly adjusted, and the stereotyped writing was gradually abolished. However, the disadvantages of the imperial examination system had been irreversible detrimental and could not become beneficial through reform. Thus, The imperial examination system, frst administered in 605 CE during the Sui dynasty, continued almost uninterrupted until it was finally abandoned in 1905 CE(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022). At this point, the imperial examination system completely withdrew from the stage of history.
Although the imperial examination system had been abolished, it still has had great significance to the modern civil service examination system. This paper thinks that it is meaningful to study and analyze the development and abolition of the imperial examination system.

== '''Abstract''' ==

Chinese people attach great importance to family, which makes family an important part of Chinese culture. The traditional family structure in China mainly consists of Joint Family, stem family, and nuclear family. However, along with the profound changes that have occurred in modern China, the Chinese family structure is also changing, with the nuclear family gradually becoming the dominant family structure and marriage becoming more liberal and the divorce rate increasing. At the same time, there is a growing trend toward gender equality in family relations. Of course, the reasons behind the changes in family structure cannot be separated from the development of society, policy changes, transition in social ideology and even the influence of globalization. In turn, the transition in family structure also has an impact on education and social and economic development.

'''I. The main types of traditional Chinese family structures'''

1.Joint Family
A joint family is usually a large undivided family where members of more than two generation live together under one roof (grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, their children or even grandchildren). This kind of family is large in size and is usually headed by the eldest member of the family. The responsibility of making decisions rests with the head of the family, although family members can give suggestions. After marriage, the children also live in the same house along with other family members. This family structure was common among wealthy families in ancient China. For example, the family structure in the Dream of the Red Chamber is a typical joint family.
2. Stem family
A stem family consists of parents and one married child, his or her spouse and offspring. It has three generations (or even four), but each generation has at most one couple. It is also known as a medium-sized family. For example, in a stem family, there are grandparents, parents and children, but it does not include uncles and aunts. In terms of size, it is smaller than a joint family while bigger than a nuclear family.
3. Nuclear family
Nuclear family refers to the core members of a family, usually two parents and their children. Children are included only while they’re young enough to live with their parents. This family unit became widely recognized because it’s where many of society’s rules and norms are passed along from parent to child. Sociologists see the concept of a nuclear family as a fundamental building block of society.

'''II. Characteristics of traditional family structure'''

According to the records, in the mid to late 18th century of China, the proportion of nuclear family was over 50%, stem family about 30% and joint family less than 10%. This indicates that nuclear family had become the dominant family form in the society at that time. And the following are the main features within the traditional family structure:
1. Men are Superior to Women and husband guides wife .This feature constitutes the basic structure of the traditional family. As Fei Xiaotong said, the core of a tradition family relationship is the parent-child relationship while the relationship between husband and wife is unimportant.
2. The eldest son has equal inheritance rights with the other brothers. The family became smaller and smaller. Finally, it stayed in the model of a nuclear family. The daughter has no right to inherit, but has the right to get a dowry. The so-called wealth only within three generations is the embodiment of this inheritance system of dividing family assets and the reason why there are few large families in China.
3. Marriage is decided by parents
Children have no marital autonomy. Marriage is often decided by parents. The daughter may have never had any contacts with the husband's family before marrying him, and the wife should be subordinate to her husband.
4. The traditional family has mixed functions, including economic, nurturing, support, affection, support, etc.

'''III. The transition of family structure from traditional to modern.'''

Since the reform and opening up, social resources have been relatively abundant and every aspect of the family has changed dramatically.
1. The family is becoming more nuclearized. Since many of the functions of the family, such as production, education, and support of elders, have been replaced by society. Society has built a large number of nursery schools and nursing homes, it is not necessary to maintain a large family size to perform these functions.
2. Some other types of family structures have emerged. These are: single person families, cohabiting families and even some homosexual cohabiting families.
3. Marriage tends to be autonomous and divorce rate increases. In contemporary times, divorce has also become common, the way of divorce has become more civilized, and more and more divorces are initiated by the wife. In addition, remarriage in old age has been widely accepted by the society, and there is a new trend of the younger generation matching and organizing weddings for their parents.
4. Increasing trend of gender equality in family relations. In today's families, the traditional patriarchy is disappearing and the concept of male superiority over female has been fundamentally changed. There is a tendency for family members to discuss with each other, to make democratic decisions, and to be democratic and egalitarian.

'''IV. Causes behind the changes in family structure'''

1. The One-Child policy has had a huge impact on the structure and size of families in China.
In the late 1970s, The One-Child policy was introduced in China as a national policy. This policy has had a decisive effect on the structure and size of families in China, promoting the trend of the nuclear family. Since the main purpose of the One-Child policy was to reduce the birth rate of each family. Only one child is allowed in urban families and no more than two in rural families (except for ethnic minority areas) and the government was promoting the concept of equality between men and women. A large number of “the only child” are born in cities. In addition, most young married couples live apart from their parents after marriage, thus more and more nuclear families have emerged. The number of empty nest families has also increased.
2. With the development of economy, many responsibilities of the family were assumed by the society, thus nuclear family became more dominating. The tradition family assumed responsibilities such as nurturing children, support the elders and production. But in modern times, economic development has also promoted the division of labor and the development of the social welfare system, and various institutions have emerged in society to help assume some of the family obligations. For example, nursing homes can help take care of the elders, and nurseries or schools can help care for the children. In this way, the adult workforce in the family can devote more energy to their work. In addition, since older couples have pensions and retirement funds after retirement, they can live without relying on their children after retirement, and they prefer to live separately from their children to avoid the tension that may arise between the two generations of couples.
3. The influence of globalization on the family concept in China since the reform and opening up.
Since the opening up, western ideas have come into China, and the younger generation has been increasingly influenced by western family concepts. The emphasis on self-independence in the Western family concept has a great influence on young people. For example, premarital cohabitation, trial marriage, free love, celibacy, gender equality and so on. These concepts have caused an unprecedented impact on the traditional family concept in China. A lot of media reports about western families flooded into our lives, which also had an important impact on our young generation.

'''V. Influences follow the changes'''

1. Impact of changing family structure on family education
The size of the family has shrunk and parents have become more concerned with their children's development. Children are seen as an individual with a sense of independence, personality and individuality, and the goal of parents in raising their children shifted from “glorifying their ancestors” to achieving the all-round development of the child, freedom of personality and perfection of character.
2. The impact of changes in family structure on the economy
As the basic consumption unit of society, the family not only creates new social demand, but also influences social supply. As the population grows and the joint family gradually divides, many new families are created. The rapid increase in the number of households inevitably leads to a simultaneous increase in the demand for many goods, such as housing and furnishings, matching kitchen and sanitary equipment, high-end durable household appliances, furniture sets, cars and household services. In addition, smaller families have more needs for enjoyment and development, higher expectations for their children, and relatively higher expenditures for their children's education and training; With the number of elderly families, especially empty nesters t, continues to increase, there will be a significant increase in elderly living goods and facilities to serve the elderly. These changes in demand structure provide an important basis for corresponding adjustments in the supply structure.

=== Introduction ===
Dream, a common physiological phenomenon, happens during our sleep. It is a mixture of real and unreal, attracting many scholars through all ages to make researches on it. In China, the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams and Huangdi Neijing are two famous books in dream’s interpretation. “Dating back to the Zhou Dynasty, dream officers gave a great push to dream classification. According to Zhouli Chunguan, dream officers divided dreams into six types by observing the positions of the sun, the moon and the stars.” (王健 2012，217) As for Huangdi Neijing in the pre-Qin period, it related dreams to people’s the five internal organs and Yi Yang, etc. (王健 2012，217).
For the West, the most famous book of dream interpretation is The Interpretation of Dreams, which was written by Sigmund Freud. This book is based on Artemidorus’ book—Interpretation of dreams, and combines with Freud’s clinical experience. Whereafter, many masters in psychoanalysis like Carl Gustav Jung and Alfred Adler have shown up, starting to study dreams from different perspectives.

=== The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams ===
The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams is a fortune-telling book according to people’s dream. Because the book is of uncertain day, so some would be doubtful for its existence. After reading the remark of Chang Feng-i, Roberto Keh Ong “tentatively proposes that the Chou-kung chieh meng was already in existence, and quite popular at that, in the sixteenth century.” (Roberto Keh Ong 1981, 6) Since the beginning sentence of the book is “夜有纷纷梦，神魂预吉凶”, “This sets the tone of the text, which means that those good fortune or bad fortune symbolized by dream are omens presented by spirits or ghosts.” (贠培基 2012, 46) But what is affirmative is that the book has a great influence in China, providing the basis of dream interpretation and enlightening people to focus on dream.
In Zhouli Chunguan, it divided dreams into six different types, they are 正、噩、思、悟、喜、惧, which indicates that how the dreams come into existence and their nature. “正梦” means an ordinary dream without causing any pulse; “噩梦”，means a stunning dream; “思梦”means a dream that misses others or thinking about something; “悟梦”means a daydream; “喜梦”means a dream that makes you feel happy; “惧梦” means a horrible dream that makes people frightened.
In the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams, there are four methods of dream interpretation:
 The method of Zhi Meng. It means what you see in the dream will happen in the reality.
 The method of Ce Zi. “The oneiromancer departs a Chinese character into several parts and endows them with special symbolic meaning, and uses these meaning to tell the fortune.” (汤叶舟 2015, 84）
 The method of Xie Yin. It means the oneiromancer compare the dream with the omen in reality, and find out the same pronunciation of them to judge the dream is good or not good.
 The method of Yi Xiang. It means to highlight a single thing in the dream then endow it with special meaning. And the omen from the dream would be got after comparing it with the reality.

=== Huangdi Neijing ===
Huangdi Neijing is the first medical book in China, which contains Lingshu and Suwen these two sections. “This book uses Huangdi as a part of its name, which is finished between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is not finished in a short time, an also be done with only one man. It comprehensively summarizes medical achievements before the Qin and Han Dynasties, laying the foundation of theoretical basis of TCM.” (王凤香 2007，23)
Though it is a medical book, it also refers to oneirology, and analyzes the causes of dream, the mechanism of dream formation and the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome.
Huangdi Neijing explores the reason why dreams happen in many aspects, and there are six points about it:
 The attack of Liu Yin Xie Qi. In TCM, Liu Yin Xie Qi means six pathogenesis cause by eternal stimulus: wind, coldness, heat (often happens in the summer), wetness, dryness, and heat. When failing to adapt to the changeable weathers, people may feel ill and then dreams occur.
 The influence brought by the change of Qiqing. Qiqing refers to seven emotions: happiness, anger, concern, missing, sorrow, scare and fear. Huangdi Neijing reckons that they would happen in dreams, thus their variations in dreams could reflect the physiological and pathological basis of different viscera.
 The dysfunction of viscera.
 The qi of yin and yang in the human body becomes over strong or over weak.
 The state of the body itself.
 Inappropriate treatment.
About the mechanism of dream formation, the book uses these four theories to analyze it: Yin Yang theory, Five-element theory, viscera picture theory and Ying Wei theory.
In terms of the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome, Huangdi Neijing takes Yin and Yang as the general principle of dream syndrome differentiation, brings the syndrome differentiation of viscera into the system of dream syndrome differentiation, and carries out the etiological analysis and differentiation. For the treatment of dream syndrome, the book states that one is to implement the general principle of “实则泻之，虚则补之”; and the other one is “合于五诊”.

=== The Interpretation of Dreams ===
The Interpretation of Dreams is a psychological work by Sigmund Freud, a psychologist from Austria and the founder of psychoanalysis. He interprets dreams by many experiments with a rational thinking, and pioneers modern dream interpretation.
In this book, “Freud argues that dreams contain meaningful information about the dreamer’s unfulfilled, unconscious wishes.” (William J. Jenkins 2017, 10) That is to say that in Freud’s perspective, dream represents a wish-fulfilment. And he also uses an example to explain it: “If, in the evening, I eat anchovies, olives, or other strongly salted foods, I am thirsty at night, and therefore I wake. The waking, however, is preceded by a dream, which has always the same content, namely, that I am drinking.” And he draws a conclusion on it: “From this sensation arises the wish to drink, and the dream shows me this wish as fulfilled.” (Sigmund Freud 1999, 25-26)
Therefore, Freud mainly uses psychoanalysis to interpret dreams, which is quite different from Chinese dream interpretation methods. And what is the most different point is that he uses sex to interpret dreams from a perspective of a psychologist, so he presents the famous Oedipus complex and Electra complex in this book.

===题目===
中国古代的科举制度
===摘要===
科举考试是封建王朝通过考试选拔官员和人才的制度。科举制度对中国古代产生了深远的影响。因此，了解和研究科举制度是非常必要和有意义的。本文将介绍科举制度的起源和发展，详细描述科举制度的类型和内容，最后阐述科举制度的意义。
===Introduction===
===Origin===
During the Wei, Jin dynasties, the emperor adopted the method of "Nine-rank system" to select talents. However, the system was controlled by powerful families, and only the children of senior officials could be officials, which led to the solidification of the class and the inability to appoint people on the basis of capability. Whereas, in order to consolidate their rule, the rulers also gradually changed their talent selection. Some contents of the imperial examination had already sprout in the Han Dynasty, but this paper still considers the Sui Dynasty as the real origin. The book ''Datang Xinyu'' wrote by Liu Su said:" Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed the Ming and Jin two subjects"(周奇金滢坤, 2022). It was the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who changed the examination to regular, held every year, further carried forward, and finally became a clear beginning of the system.
Emperor Yang Jian of Sui dynasty understood the danger of being subject to the high rank and nobility, abolishing the "Nine-rank system". He carried out the system of selecting scholars by subject, and set up state and county schools to test students, and the state could also send talents to the central government for examination and employment. Emperor Yang set up Jinshi Branch, the school students can directly apply for the school, not to the state, county entrance examination, after passing the state, county sent to the central examination(李亚彬, 2020). Sui Dynasty broke through the old rules of the previous dynasties and created a considerable number of new subjects, which started the system of the Tang Dynasty. The standard of selecting talents gradually changed from morality to examination.
===Development===
However, Sui dynasty lasted only thirty-seven years, which meant that the imperial examination system had been introduced in the Sui dynasty but could not be further developed. Therefore, the important task was carried out by the rulers of the Tang dynasty. Tang dynasty attached great importance to the cultivation and selection of talents. After the founding of the Tang dynasty, several generations of rulers put the emphasis on to the imperial examination and took relevant measures. The first emperor of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan put forward the regular date of“every october”to go to the court for examination, and clarified the local pre-examination of the state and county, which is equivalent to the "Provincial Examination" method of later generations. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, greatly expanded the scale of the college, the school cottages and increased the number of students. Wu Zetian set up a military examination. It held by the Ministry of War examiners, mainly to assess students 'military strength. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, poetry and Fu became the main examination content of Jinshi. Also, during his reign, the court admitted many talented people. The method of selecting scholars by poetry and Fu also greatly promoted the prosperity of Tang poetry(王一汕, 2010).
Song Dynasty was also an important period for the development and reform of the imperial examination system. After the development of Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system of Song Dynasty became mature and complete(邓叶倩, 2019). For one thing, in terms of the form, in Song dynasty, the emperor's personal visit to the palace examination turned into a custom. At the same time, reform measures such as sealing and transcription were taken. Sealing(Mi Feng), that is, the examinee's name, native place and other records on the examination paper sealed up. Transcription is that the palace examination papers will be sent to copy by other people, and then examine the official review. These measures greatly increased the fairness of the examniation, so that more talented and learned people can enter the officialdom, and these reforms even had a profound impact on the modern examination system. However, these measures required a large amount of manpower and material resources, so by the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Song dynasty, the imperial examination was officially held every three years. For another, as for the content, Song dynasty strengthened the status and importance of Ce Lun in the imperial examination. With the rise of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty, the ability of thinking also became an important standard for assessment. In the Song Dynasty, the emperors abolished the examination of poetry and Fu, and replaced it with the examination of the meaning, theory and policy of the classics.
Since then, the basic form and content of the imperial examination system tend to be complete. The imperial examination was held every three years, mainly divided into the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination and the palace examination. In the autumn, the provincial examination was held by each state, The first name is Jieyuan. The metropolitan examination was held in the spring of the following year by the Ministry of Rites, the first name will be called Huiyuan. The palace examination was held in the following month and presided over by the emperor. The first name was Zhuangyuan. Getting the first place three times in a row is known as the "the three consecutive Yuan(Lian Zhong San Yuan)", and ancient China has also appeared such talents. Through the layer upon layer selection at district, provincial and national levels, outstanding talents are called “jinshi”. Such elites obtained qualifications to enter the final examination hosted by the emperor, and were conferred different ranks official positions according to their performance. Because of this, the imperial examination system (keju) had become the main way for all civilians to start their official careers (Ho, 1962).
===Completion===
The Yuan dynasty saw an eighty-year suspension of the imperial examinations, which were later restored, but with increasing inequality, mainly to protect the privileges of the Mongols and reduce the number of Han officials. This phenomenon did not change until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the period when the imperial examination system was flourishing, but it was also the period when it was ending.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial power gradually reached its peak. In order to consolidate the imperial power, the rulers took the imperial examination system as the most important tool to absorb talents. The social atmosphere gradually changed, and many scholars took the imperial examination as their lifelong goal, and "To be a scholar is to be the top of society." became the motto of most scholars at that time.
With the increasing importance of the imperial examination, the emperors carried out a series of reforms on it. First, the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties became a huge system with various levels, rules and regulations. In addition to the above-mentioned several types of examinations, there are new types of examinations: the imperial examinations to admit scholars and county examination(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022), a total of five types of examinations. As a result, many people began to study hard for the imperial examination from a very young age, devoting their whole lives to the imperial examination system. The minimum age for the examination was greatly lowered during this period.
In terms of examination content. To further strengthen their rule and control over the people's thoughts, the rulers of the Qing dynasty limited the imperial examinations to stereotyped writing(bagu). The stereotyped writing(bagu) are that the paragraphs written in the examination articles are fixed, and the scope of the examination is also set and limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, and no other ideas are allowed to exist. Under the implementation of this kind of policy, the stereotyped writing fettered the scholar's thought, and the theory of Chengs and Zhu Xi became rigid under the guidance of the imperial examination system. Scholars have spent their whole lives studying the writing of stereotyped writing, lacking understanding of politics and social reality. Intellectuals 'thinking is solidified and they weren’t able to think out of box. Gu Yanwu, the great mind in late Ming dynasty, once said: "The harm of stereotyped writing is equivalent to burning books." From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the advantages of selecting scholars from stereotyped writing increasingly decreased and the disadvantages gradually increased, which became one of the important factors for the stagnation of national development and the decline of national strength in the late Qing Dynasty.
===End===
In the late Qing Dynasty, due to foreign aggression, China continued to cede territory and pay reparations, and popular discontent ran high. The Qing Dynasty was in serious crisis and emperors wanted to consolidate the rule through reform. Meanwhile, the westernization movement continued to develop, and many western thoughts and ideas spread to China as well(徐云, 2022). Therefore, in order to meet requirements of national development, the content of the imperial examination was constantly adjusted, and the stereotyped writing was gradually abolished. However, the disadvantages of the imperial examination system had been irreversible detrimental and could not become beneficial through reform. Thus, The imperial examination system, frst administered in 605 CE during the Sui dynasty, continued almost uninterrupted until it was finally abandoned in 1905 CE(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022). At this point, the imperial examination system completely withdrew from the stage of history.
Although the imperial examination system had been abolished, it still has had great significance to the modern civil service examination system. This paper thinks that it is meaningful to study and analyze the development and abolition of the imperial examination system.

== '''Abstract''' ==

Chinese people attach great importance to family, which makes family an important part of Chinese culture. The traditional family structure in China mainly consists of Joint Family, stem family, and nuclear family. However, along with the profound changes that have occurred in modern China, the Chinese family structure is also changing, with the nuclear family gradually becoming the dominant family structure and marriage becoming more liberal and the divorce rate increasing. At the same time, there is a growing trend toward gender equality in family relations. Of course, the reasons behind the changes in family structure cannot be separated from the development of society, policy changes, transition in social ideology and even the influence of globalization. In turn, the transition in family structure also has an impact on education and social and economic development.

'''I. The main types of traditional Chinese family structures'''

1.Joint Family
A joint family is usually a large undivided family where members of more than two generation live together under one roof (grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, their children or even grandchildren). This kind of family is large in size and is usually headed by the eldest member of the family. The responsibility of making decisions rests with the head of the family, although family members can give suggestions. After marriage, the children also live in the same house along with other family members. This family structure was common among wealthy families in ancient China. For example, the family structure in the Dream of the Red Chamber is a typical joint family.
2. Stem family
A stem family consists of parents and one married child, his or her spouse and offspring. It has three generations (or even four), but each generation has at most one couple. It is also known as a medium-sized family. For example, in a stem family, there are grandparents, parents and children, but it does not include uncles and aunts. In terms of size, it is smaller than a joint family while bigger than a nuclear family.
3. Nuclear family
Nuclear family refers to the core members of a family, usually two parents and their children. Children are included only while they’re young enough to live with their parents. This family unit became widely recognized because it’s where many of society’s rules and norms are passed along from parent to child. Sociologists see the concept of a nuclear family as a fundamental building block of society.

'''II. Characteristics of traditional family structure'''

According to the records, in the mid to late 18th century of China, the proportion of nuclear family was over 50%, stem family about 30% and joint family less than 10%. This indicates that nuclear family had become the dominant family form in the society at that time. And the following are the main features within the traditional family structure:
1. Men are Superior to Women and husband guides wife .This feature constitutes the basic structure of the traditional family. As Fei Xiaotong said, the core of a tradition family relationship is the parent-child relationship while the relationship between husband and wife is unimportant.
2. The eldest son has equal inheritance rights with the other brothers. The family became smaller and smaller. Finally, it stayed in the model of a nuclear family. The daughter has no right to inherit, but has the right to get a dowry. The so-called wealth only within three generations is the embodiment of this inheritance system of dividing family assets and the reason why there are few large families in China.
3. Marriage is decided by parents
Children have no marital autonomy. Marriage is often decided by parents. The daughter may have never had any contacts with the husband's family before marrying him, and the wife should be subordinate to her husband.
4. The traditional family has mixed functions, including economic, nurturing, support, affection, support, etc.

'''III. The transition of family structure from traditional to modern.'''

Since the reform and opening up, social resources have been relatively abundant and every aspect of the family has changed dramatically.
1. The family is becoming more nuclearized. Since many of the functions of the family, such as production, education, and support of elders, have been replaced by society. Society has built a large number of nursery schools and nursing homes, it is not necessary to maintain a large family size to perform these functions.
2. Some other types of family structures have emerged. These are: single person families, cohabiting families and even some homosexual cohabiting families.
3. Marriage tends to be autonomous and divorce rate increases. In contemporary times, divorce has also become common, the way of divorce has become more civilized, and more and more divorces are initiated by the wife. In addition, remarriage in old age has been widely accepted by the society, and there is a new trend of the younger generation matching and organizing weddings for their parents.
4. Increasing trend of gender equality in family relations. In today's families, the traditional patriarchy is disappearing and the concept of male superiority over female has been fundamentally changed. There is a tendency for family members to discuss with each other, to make democratic decisions, and to be democratic and egalitarian.

'''IV. Causes behind the changes in family structure'''

1. The One-Child policy has had a huge impact on the structure and size of families in China.
In the late 1970s, The One-Child policy was introduced in China as a national policy. This policy has had a decisive effect on the structure and size of families in China, promoting the trend of the nuclear family. Since the main purpose of the One-Child policy was to reduce the birth rate of each family. Only one child is allowed in urban families and no more than two in rural families (except for ethnic minority areas) and the government was promoting the concept of equality between men and women. A large number of “the only child” are born in cities. In addition, most young married couples live apart from their parents after marriage, thus more and more nuclear families have emerged. The number of empty nest families has also increased.
2. With the development of economy, many responsibilities of the family were assumed by the society, thus nuclear family became more dominating. The tradition family assumed responsibilities such as nurturing children, support the elders and production. But in modern times, economic development has also promoted the division of labor and the development of the social welfare system, and various institutions have emerged in society to help assume some of the family obligations. For example, nursing homes can help take care of the elders, and nurseries or schools can help care for the children. In this way, the adult workforce in the family can devote more energy to their work. In addition, since older couples have pensions and retirement funds after retirement, they can live without relying on their children after retirement, and they prefer to live separately from their children to avoid the tension that may arise between the two generations of couples.
3. The influence of globalization on the family concept in China since the reform and opening up.
Since the opening up, western ideas have come into China, and the younger generation has been increasingly influenced by western family concepts. The emphasis on self-independence in the Western family concept has a great influence on young people. For example, premarital cohabitation, trial marriage, free love, celibacy, gender equality and so on. These concepts have caused an unprecedented impact on the traditional family concept in China. A lot of media reports about western families flooded into our lives, which also had an important impact on our young generation.

'''V. Influences follow the changes'''

1. Impact of changing family structure on family education
The size of the family has shrunk and parents have become more concerned with their children's development. Children are seen as an individual with a sense of independence, personality and individuality, and the goal of parents in raising their children shifted from “glorifying their ancestors” to achieving the all-round development of the child, freedom of personality and perfection of character.
2. The impact of changes in family structure on the economy
As the basic consumption unit of society, the family not only creates new social demand, but also influences social supply. As the population grows and the joint family gradually divides, many new families are created. The rapid increase in the number of households inevitably leads to a simultaneous increase in the demand for many goods, such as housing and furnishings, matching kitchen and sanitary equipment, high-end durable household appliances, furniture sets, cars and household services. In addition, smaller families have more needs for enjoyment and development, higher expectations for their children, and relatively higher expenditures for their children's education and training; With the number of elderly families, especially empty nesters t, continues to increase, there will be a significant increase in elderly living goods and facilities to serve the elderly. These changes in demand structure provide an important basis for corresponding adjustments in the supply structure.

=== Introduction ===
Dream, a common physiological phenomenon, happens during our sleep. It is a mixture of real and unreal, attracting many scholars through all ages to make researches on it. In China, the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams and Huangdi Neijing are two famous books in dream’s interpretation. “Dating back to the Zhou Dynasty, dream officers gave a great push to dream classification. According to Zhouli Chunguan, dream officers divided dreams into six types by observing the positions of the sun, the moon and the stars.” (王健 2012，217) As for Huangdi Neijing in the pre-Qin period, it related dreams to people’s the five internal organs and Yi Yang, etc. (王健 2012，217).
For the West, the most famous book of dream interpretation is The Interpretation of Dreams, which was written by Sigmund Freud. This book is based on Artemidorus’ book—Interpretation of dreams, and combines with Freud’s clinical experience. Whereafter, many masters in psychoanalysis like Carl Gustav Jung and Alfred Adler have shown up, starting to study dreams from different perspectives.

=== The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams ===
The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams is a fortune-telling book according to people’s dream. Because the book is of uncertain day, so some would be doubtful for its existence. After reading the remark of Chang Feng-i, Roberto Keh Ong “tentatively proposes that the Chou-kung chieh meng was already in existence, and quite popular at that, in the sixteenth century.” (Roberto Keh Ong 1981, 6) Since the beginning sentence of the book is “夜有纷纷梦，神魂预吉凶”, “This sets the tone of the text, which means that those good fortune or bad fortune symbolized by dream are omens presented by spirits or ghosts.” (贠培基 2012, 46) But what is affirmative is that the book has a great influence in China, providing the basis of dream interpretation and enlightening people to focus on dream.
In Zhouli Chunguan, it divided dreams into six different types, they are 正、噩、思、悟、喜、惧, which indicates that how the dreams come into existence and their nature. “正梦” means an ordinary dream without causing any pulse; “噩梦”，means a stunning dream; “思梦”means a dream that misses others or thinking about something; “悟梦”means a daydream; “喜梦”means a dream that makes you feel happy; “惧梦” means a horrible dream that makes people frightened.
In the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams, there are four methods of dream interpretation:
 The method of Zhi Meng. It means what you see in the dream will happen in the reality.
 The method of Ce Zi. “The oneiromancer departs a Chinese character into several parts and endows them with special symbolic meaning, and uses these meaning to tell the fortune.” (汤叶舟 2015, 84）
 The method of Xie Yin. It means the oneiromancer compare the dream with the omen in reality, and find out the same pronunciation of them to judge the dream is good or not good.
 The method of Yi Xiang. It means to highlight a single thing in the dream then endow it with special meaning. And the omen from the dream would be got after comparing it with the reality.

=== Huangdi Neijing ===
Huangdi Neijing is the first medical book in China, which contains Lingshu and Suwen these two sections. “This book uses Huangdi as a part of its name, which is finished between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is not finished in a short time, an also be done with only one man. It comprehensively summarizes medical achievements before the Qin and Han Dynasties, laying the foundation of theoretical basis of TCM.” (王凤香 2007，23)
Though it is a medical book, it also refers to oneirology, and analyzes the causes of dream, the mechanism of dream formation and the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome.
Huangdi Neijing explores the reason why dreams happen in many aspects, and there are six points about it:
 The attack of Liu Yin Xie Qi. In TCM, Liu Yin Xie Qi means six pathogenesis cause by eternal stimulus: wind, coldness, heat (often happens in the summer), wetness, dryness, and heat. When failing to adapt to the changeable weathers, people may feel ill and then dreams occur.
 The influence brought by the change of Qiqing. Qiqing refers to seven emotions: happiness, anger, concern, missing, sorrow, scare and fear. Huangdi Neijing reckons that they would happen in dreams, thus their variations in dreams could reflect the physiological and pathological basis of different viscera.
 The dysfunction of viscera.
 The qi of yin and yang in the human body becomes over strong or over weak.
 The state of the body itself.
 Inappropriate treatment.
About the mechanism of dream formation, the book uses these four theories to analyze it: Yin Yang theory, Five-element theory, viscera picture theory and Ying Wei theory.
In terms of the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome, Huangdi Neijing takes Yin and Yang as the general principle of dream syndrome differentiation, brings the syndrome differentiation of viscera into the system of dream syndrome differentiation, and carries out the etiological analysis and differentiation. For the treatment of dream syndrome, the book states that one is to implement the general principle of “实则泻之，虚则补之”; and the other one is “合于五诊”.

=== The Interpretation of Dreams ===
The Interpretation of Dreams is a psychological work by Sigmund Freud, a psychologist from Austria and the founder of psychoanalysis. He interprets dreams by many experiments with a rational thinking, and pioneers modern dream interpretation.
In this book, “Freud argues that dreams contain meaningful information about the dreamer’s unfulfilled, unconscious wishes.” (William J. Jenkins 2017, 10) That is to say that in Freud’s perspective, dream represents a wish-fulfilment. And he also uses an example to explain it: “If, in the evening, I eat anchovies, olives, or other strongly salted foods, I am thirsty at night, and therefore I wake. The waking, however, is preceded by a dream, which has always the same content, namely, that I am drinking.” And he draws a conclusion on it: “From this sensation arises the wish to drink, and the dream shows me this wish as fulfilled.” (Sigmund Freud 1999, 25-26)
Therefore, Freud mainly uses psychoanalysis to interpret dreams, which is quite different from Chinese dream interpretation methods. And what is the most different point is that he uses sex to interpret dreams from a perspective of a psychologist, so he presents the famous Oedipus complex and Electra complex in this book.

===题目===
中国古代的科举制度
===摘要===
科举考试是封建王朝通过考试选拔官员和人才的制度。科举制度对中国古代产生了深远的影响。因此，了解和研究科举制度是非常必要和有意义的。本文将介绍科举制度的起源和发展，详细描述科举制度的类型和内容，最后阐述科举制度的意义。
===Introduction===
===Origin===
During the Wei, Jin dynasties, the emperor adopted the method of "Nine-rank system" to select talents. However, the system was controlled by powerful families, and only the children of senior officials could be officials, which led to the solidification of the class and the inability to appoint people on the basis of capability. Whereas, in order to consolidate their rule, the rulers also gradually changed their talent selection. Some contents of the imperial examination had already sprout in the Han Dynasty, but this paper still considers the Sui Dynasty as the real origin. The book ''Datang Xinyu'' wrote by Liu Su said:" Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed the Ming and Jin two subjects"(周奇金滢坤, 2022). It was the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who changed the examination to regular, held every year, further carried forward, and finally became a clear beginning of the system.
Emperor Yang Jian of Sui dynasty understood the danger of being subject to the high rank and nobility, abolishing the "Nine-rank system". He carried out the system of selecting scholars by subject, and set up state and county schools to test students, and the state could also send talents to the central government for examination and employment. Emperor Yang set up Jinshi Branch, the school students can directly apply for the school, not to the state, county entrance examination, after passing the state, county sent to the central examination(李亚彬, 2020). Sui Dynasty broke through the old rules of the previous dynasties and created a considerable number of new subjects, which started the system of the Tang Dynasty. The standard of selecting talents gradually changed from morality to examination.
===Development===
However, Sui dynasty lasted only thirty-seven years, which meant that the imperial examination system had been introduced in the Sui dynasty but could not be further developed. Therefore, the important task was carried out by the rulers of the Tang dynasty. Tang dynasty attached great importance to the cultivation and selection of talents. After the founding of the Tang dynasty, several generations of rulers put the emphasis on to the imperial examination and took relevant measures. The first emperor of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan put forward the regular date of“every october”to go to the court for examination, and clarified the local pre-examination of the state and county, which is equivalent to the "Provincial Examination" method of later generations. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, greatly expanded the scale of the college, the school cottages and increased the number of students. Wu Zetian set up a military examination. It held by the Ministry of War examiners, mainly to assess students 'military strength. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, poetry and Fu became the main examination content of Jinshi. Also, during his reign, the court admitted many talented people. The method of selecting scholars by poetry and Fu also greatly promoted the prosperity of Tang poetry(王一汕, 2010).
Song Dynasty was also an important period for the development and reform of the imperial examination system. After the development of Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system of Song Dynasty became mature and complete(邓叶倩, 2019). For one thing, in terms of the form, in Song dynasty, the emperor's personal visit to the palace examination turned into a custom. At the same time, reform measures such as sealing and transcription were taken. Sealing(Mi Feng), that is, the examinee's name, native place and other records on the examination paper sealed up. Transcription is that the palace examination papers will be sent to copy by other people, and then examine the official review. These measures greatly increased the fairness of the examniation, so that more talented and learned people can enter the officialdom, and these reforms even had a profound impact on the modern examination system. However, these measures required a large amount of manpower and material resources, so by the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Song dynasty, the imperial examination was officially held every three years. For another, as for the content, Song dynasty strengthened the status and importance of Ce Lun in the imperial examination. With the rise of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty, the ability of thinking also became an important standard for assessment. In the Song Dynasty, the emperors abolished the examination of poetry and Fu, and replaced it with the examination of the meaning, theory and policy of the classics.
Since then, the basic form and content of the imperial examination system tend to be complete. The imperial examination was held every three years, mainly divided into the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination and the palace examination. In the autumn, the provincial examination was held by each state, The first name is Jieyuan. The metropolitan examination was held in the spring of the following year by the Ministry of Rites, the first name will be called Huiyuan. The palace examination was held in the following month and presided over by the emperor. The first name was Zhuangyuan. Getting the first place three times in a row is known as the "the three consecutive Yuan(Lian Zhong San Yuan)", and ancient China has also appeared such talents. Through the layer upon layer selection at district, provincial and national levels, outstanding talents are called “jinshi”. Such elites obtained qualifications to enter the final examination hosted by the emperor, and were conferred different ranks official positions according to their performance. Because of this, the imperial examination system (keju) had become the main way for all civilians to start their official careers (Ho, 1962).
===Completion===
The Yuan dynasty saw an eighty-year suspension of the imperial examinations, which were later restored, but with increasing inequality, mainly to protect the privileges of the Mongols and reduce the number of Han officials. This phenomenon did not change until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the period when the imperial examination system was flourishing, but it was also the period when it was ending.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial power gradually reached its peak. In order to consolidate the imperial power, the rulers took the imperial examination system as the most important tool to absorb talents. The social atmosphere gradually changed, and many scholars took the imperial examination as their lifelong goal, and "To be a scholar is to be the top of society." became the motto of most scholars at that time.
With the increasing importance of the imperial examination, the emperors carried out a series of reforms on it. First, the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties became a huge system with various levels, rules and regulations. In addition to the above-mentioned several types of examinations, there are new types of examinations: the imperial examinations to admit scholars and county examination(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022), a total of five types of examinations. As a result, many people began to study hard for the imperial examination from a very young age, devoting their whole lives to the imperial examination system. The minimum age for the examination was greatly lowered during this period.
In terms of examination content. To further strengthen their rule and control over the people's thoughts, the rulers of the Qing dynasty limited the imperial examinations to stereotyped writing(bagu). The stereotyped writing(bagu) are that the paragraphs written in the examination articles are fixed, and the scope of the examination is also set and limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, and no other ideas are allowed to exist. Under the implementation of this kind of policy, the stereotyped writing fettered the scholar's thought, and the theory of Chengs and Zhu Xi became rigid under the guidance of the imperial examination system. Scholars have spent their whole lives studying the writing of stereotyped writing, lacking understanding of politics and social reality. Intellectuals 'thinking is solidified and they weren’t able to think out of box. Gu Yanwu, the great mind in late Ming dynasty, once said: "The harm of stereotyped writing is equivalent to burning books." From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the advantages of selecting scholars from stereotyped writing increasingly decreased and the disadvantages gradually increased, which became one of the important factors for the stagnation of national development and the decline of national strength in the late Qing Dynasty.
===End===
In the late Qing Dynasty, due to foreign aggression, China continued to cede territory and pay reparations, and popular discontent ran high. The Qing Dynasty was in serious crisis and emperors wanted to consolidate the rule through reform. Meanwhile, the westernization movement continued to develop, and many western thoughts and ideas spread to China as well(徐云, 2022). Therefore, in order to meet requirements of national development, the content of the imperial examination was constantly adjusted, and the stereotyped writing was gradually abolished. However, the disadvantages of the imperial examination system had been irreversible detrimental and could not become beneficial through reform. Thus, The imperial examination system, frst administered in 605 CE during the Sui dynasty, continued almost uninterrupted until it was finally abandoned in 1905 CE(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022). At this point, the imperial examination system completely withdrew from the stage of history.
Although the imperial examination system had been abolished, it still has had great significance to the modern civil service examination system. This paper thinks that it is meaningful to study and analyze the development and abolition of the imperial examination system.

== '''Abstract''' ==

Chinese people attach great importance to family, which makes family an important part of Chinese culture. The traditional family structure in China mainly consists of Joint Family, stem family, and nuclear family. However, along with the profound changes that have occurred in modern China, the Chinese family structure is also changing, with the nuclear family gradually becoming the dominant family structure and marriage becoming more liberal and the divorce rate increasing. At the same time, there is a growing trend toward gender equality in family relations. Of course, the reasons behind the changes in family structure cannot be separated from the development of society, policy changes, transition in social ideology and even the influence of globalization. In turn, the transition in family structure also has an impact on education and social and economic development.

'''I. The main types of traditional Chinese family structures'''

1.Joint Family
A joint family is usually a large undivided family where members of more than two generation live together under one roof (grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, their children or even grandchildren). This kind of family is large in size and is usually headed by the eldest member of the family. The responsibility of making decisions rests with the head of the family, although family members can give suggestions. After marriage, the children also live in the same house along with other family members. This family structure was common among wealthy families in ancient China. For example, the family structure in the Dream of the Red Chamber is a typical joint family.
2. Stem family
A stem family consists of parents and one married child, his or her spouse and offspring. It has three generations (or even four), but each generation has at most one couple. It is also known as a medium-sized family. For example, in a stem family, there are grandparents, parents and children, but it does not include uncles and aunts. In terms of size, it is smaller than a joint family while bigger than a nuclear family.
3. Nuclear family
Nuclear family refers to the core members of a family, usually two parents and their children. Children are included only while they’re young enough to live with their parents. This family unit became widely recognized because it’s where many of society’s rules and norms are passed along from parent to child. Sociologists see the concept of a nuclear family as a fundamental building block of society.

'''II. Characteristics of traditional family structure'''

According to the records, in the mid to late 18th century of China, the proportion of nuclear family was over 50%, stem family about 30% and joint family less than 10%. This indicates that nuclear family had become the dominant family form in the society at that time. And the following are the main features within the traditional family structure:
1. Men are Superior to Women and husband guides wife .This feature constitutes the basic structure of the traditional family. As Fei Xiaotong said, the core of a tradition family relationship is the parent-child relationship while the relationship between husband and wife is unimportant.
2. The eldest son has equal inheritance rights with the other brothers. The family became smaller and smaller. Finally, it stayed in the model of a nuclear family. The daughter has no right to inherit, but has the right to get a dowry. The so-called wealth only within three generations is the embodiment of this inheritance system of dividing family assets and the reason why there are few large families in China.
3. Marriage is decided by parents
Children have no marital autonomy. Marriage is often decided by parents. The daughter may have never had any contacts with the husband's family before marrying him, and the wife should be subordinate to her husband.
4. The traditional family has mixed functions, including economic, nurturing, support, affection, support, etc.

'''III. The transition of family structure from traditional to modern.'''

Since the reform and opening up, social resources have been relatively abundant and every aspect of the family has changed dramatically.
1. The family is becoming more nuclearized. Since many of the functions of the family, such as production, education, and support of elders, have been replaced by society. Society has built a large number of nursery schools and nursing homes, it is not necessary to maintain a large family size to perform these functions.
2. Some other types of family structures have emerged. These are: single person families, cohabiting families and even some homosexual cohabiting families.
3. Marriage tends to be autonomous and divorce rate increases. In contemporary times, divorce has also become common, the way of divorce has become more civilized, and more and more divorces are initiated by the wife. In addition, remarriage in old age has been widely accepted by the society, and there is a new trend of the younger generation matching and organizing weddings for their parents.
4. Increasing trend of gender equality in family relations. In today's families, the traditional patriarchy is disappearing and the concept of male superiority over female has been fundamentally changed. There is a tendency for family members to discuss with each other, to make democratic decisions, and to be democratic and egalitarian.

'''IV. Causes behind the changes in family structure'''

1. The One-Child policy has had a huge impact on the structure and size of families in China.
In the late 1970s, The One-Child policy was introduced in China as a national policy. This policy has had a decisive effect on the structure and size of families in China, promoting the trend of the nuclear family. Since the main purpose of the One-Child policy was to reduce the birth rate of each family. Only one child is allowed in urban families and no more than two in rural families (except for ethnic minority areas) and the government was promoting the concept of equality between men and women. A large number of “the only child” are born in cities. In addition, most young married couples live apart from their parents after marriage, thus more and more nuclear families have emerged. The number of empty nest families has also increased.
2. With the development of economy, many responsibilities of the family were assumed by the society, thus nuclear family became more dominating. The tradition family assumed responsibilities such as nurturing children, support the elders and production. But in modern times, economic development has also promoted the division of labor and the development of the social welfare system, and various institutions have emerged in society to help assume some of the family obligations. For example, nursing homes can help take care of the elders, and nurseries or schools can help care for the children. In this way, the adult workforce in the family can devote more energy to their work. In addition, since older couples have pensions and retirement funds after retirement, they can live without relying on their children after retirement, and they prefer to live separately from their children to avoid the tension that may arise between the two generations of couples.
3. The influence of globalization on the family concept in China since the reform and opening up.
Since the opening up, western ideas have come into China, and the younger generation has been increasingly influenced by western family concepts. The emphasis on self-independence in the Western family concept has a great influence on young people. For example, premarital cohabitation, trial marriage, free love, celibacy, gender equality and so on. These concepts have caused an unprecedented impact on the traditional family concept in China. A lot of media reports about western families flooded into our lives, which also had an important impact on our young generation.

'''V. Influences follow the changes'''

1. Impact of changing family structure on family education
The size of the family has shrunk and parents have become more concerned with their children's development. Children are seen as an individual with a sense of independence, personality and individuality, and the goal of parents in raising their children shifted from “glorifying their ancestors” to achieving the all-round development of the child, freedom of personality and perfection of character.
2. The impact of changes in family structure on the economy
As the basic consumption unit of society, the family not only creates new social demand, but also influences social supply. As the population grows and the joint family gradually divides, many new families are created. The rapid increase in the number of households inevitably leads to a simultaneous increase in the demand for many goods, such as housing and furnishings, matching kitchen and sanitary equipment, high-end durable household appliances, furniture sets, cars and household services. In addition, smaller families have more needs for enjoyment and development, higher expectations for their children, and relatively higher expenditures for their children's education and training; With the number of elderly families, especially empty nesters t, continues to increase, there will be a significant increase in elderly living goods and facilities to serve the elderly. These changes in demand structure provide an important basis for corresponding adjustments in the supply structure.

=== Introduction ===
Dream, a common physiological phenomenon, happens during our sleep. It is a mixture of real and unreal, attracting many scholars through all ages to make researches on it. In China, the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams and Huangdi Neijing are two famous books in dream’s interpretation. “Dating back to the Zhou Dynasty, dream officers gave a great push to dream classification. According to Zhouli Chunguan, dream officers divided dreams into six types by observing the positions of the sun, the moon and the stars.” (王健 2012，217) As for Huangdi Neijing in the pre-Qin period, it related dreams to people’s the five internal organs and Yi Yang, etc. (王健 2012，217).
For the West, the most famous book of dream interpretation is The Interpretation of Dreams, which was written by Sigmund Freud. This book is based on Artemidorus’ book—Interpretation of dreams, and combines with Freud’s clinical experience. Whereafter, many masters in psychoanalysis like Carl Gustav Jung and Alfred Adler have shown up, starting to study dreams from different perspectives.

=== The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams ===
The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams is a fortune-telling book according to people’s dream. Because the book is of uncertain day, so some would be doubtful for its existence. After reading the remark of Chang Feng-i, Roberto Keh Ong “tentatively proposes that the Chou-kung chieh meng was already in existence, and quite popular at that, in the sixteenth century.” (Roberto Keh Ong 1981, 6) Since the beginning sentence of the book is “夜有纷纷梦，神魂预吉凶”, “This sets the tone of the text, which means that those good fortune or bad fortune symbolized by dream are omens presented by spirits or ghosts.” (贠培基 2012, 46) But what is affirmative is that the book has a great influence in China, providing the basis of dream interpretation and enlightening people to focus on dream.
In Zhouli Chunguan, it divided dreams into six different types, they are 正、噩、思、悟、喜、惧, which indicates that how the dreams come into existence and their nature. “正梦” means an ordinary dream without causing any pulse; “噩梦”，means a stunning dream; “思梦”means a dream that misses others or thinking about something; “悟梦”means a daydream; “喜梦”means a dream that makes you feel happy; “惧梦” means a horrible dream that makes people frightened.
In the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams, there are four methods of dream interpretation:
 The method of Zhi Meng. It means what you see in the dream will happen in the reality.
 The method of Ce Zi. “The oneiromancer departs a Chinese character into several parts and endows them with special symbolic meaning, and uses these meaning to tell the fortune.” (汤叶舟 2015, 84）
 The method of Xie Yin. It means the oneiromancer compare the dream with the omen in reality, and find out the same pronunciation of them to judge the dream is good or not good.
 The method of Yi Xiang. It means to highlight a single thing in the dream then endow it with special meaning. And the omen from the dream would be got after comparing it with the reality.

=== Huangdi Neijing ===
Huangdi Neijing is the first medical book in China, which contains Lingshu and Suwen these two sections. “This book uses Huangdi as a part of its name, which is finished between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is not finished in a short time, an also be done with only one man. It comprehensively summarizes medical achievements before the Qin and Han Dynasties, laying the foundation of theoretical basis of TCM.” (王凤香 2007，23)
Though it is a medical book, it also refers to oneirology, and analyzes the causes of dream, the mechanism of dream formation and the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome.
Huangdi Neijing explores the reason why dreams happen in many aspects, and there are six points about it:
 The attack of Liu Yin Xie Qi. In TCM, Liu Yin Xie Qi means six pathogenesis cause by eternal stimulus: wind, coldness, heat (often happens in the summer), wetness, dryness, and heat. When failing to adapt to the changeable weathers, people may feel ill and then dreams occur.
 The influence brought by the change of Qiqing. Qiqing refers to seven emotions: happiness, anger, concern, missing, sorrow, scare and fear. Huangdi Neijing reckons that they would happen in dreams, thus their variations in dreams could reflect the physiological and pathological basis of different viscera.
 The dysfunction of viscera.
 The qi of yin and yang in the human body becomes over strong or over weak.
 The state of the body itself.
 Inappropriate treatment.
About the mechanism of dream formation, the book uses these four theories to analyze it: Yin Yang theory, Five-element theory, viscera picture theory and Ying Wei theory.
In terms of the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome, Huangdi Neijing takes Yin and Yang as the general principle of dream syndrome differentiation, brings the syndrome differentiation of viscera into the system of dream syndrome differentiation, and carries out the etiological analysis and differentiation. For the treatment of dream syndrome, the book states that one is to implement the general principle of “实则泻之，虚则补之”; and the other one is “合于五诊”.

=== The Interpretation of Dreams ===
The Interpretation of Dreams is a psychological work by Sigmund Freud, a psychologist from Austria and the founder of psychoanalysis. He interprets dreams by many experiments with a rational thinking, and pioneers modern dream interpretation.
In this book, “Freud argues that dreams contain meaningful information about the dreamer’s unfulfilled, unconscious wishes.” (William J. Jenkins 2017, 10) That is to say that in Freud’s perspective, dream represents a wish-fulfilment. And he also uses an example to explain it: “If, in the evening, I eat anchovies, olives, or other strongly salted foods, I am thirsty at night, and therefore I wake. The waking, however, is preceded by a dream, which has always the same content, namely, that I am drinking.” And he draws a conclusion on it: “From this sensation arises the wish to drink, and the dream shows me this wish as fulfilled.” (Sigmund Freud 1999, 25-26)
Therefore, Freud mainly uses psychoanalysis to interpret dreams, which is quite different from Chinese dream interpretation methods. And what is the most different point is that he uses sex to interpret dreams from a perspective of a psychologist, so he presents the famous Oedipus complex and Electra complex in this book.

中国古代的科举制度
===摘要===
科举考试是封建王朝通过考试选拔官员和人才的制度。科举制度对中国古代产生了深远的影响。因此，了解和研究科举制度是非常必要和有意义的。本文将介绍科举制度的起源和发展，详细描述科举制度的类型和内容，最后阐述科举制度的意义。
===Introduction===
===Origin===
During the Wei, Jin dynasties, the emperor adopted the method of "Nine-rank system" to select talents. However, the system was controlled by powerful families, and only the children of senior officials could be officials, which led to the solidification of the class and the inability to appoint people on the basis of capability. Whereas, in order to consolidate their rule, the rulers also gradually changed their talent selection. Some contents of the imperial examination had already sprout in the Han Dynasty, but this paper still considers the Sui Dynasty as the real origin. The book ''Datang Xinyu'' wrote by Liu Su said:" Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed the Ming and Jin two subjects"(周奇金滢坤, 2022). It was the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who changed the examination to regular, held every year, further carried forward, and finally became a clear beginning of the system.
Emperor Yang Jian of Sui dynasty understood the danger of being subject to the high rank and nobility, abolishing the "Nine-rank system". He carried out the system of selecting scholars by subject, and set up state and county schools to test students, and the state could also send talents to the central government for examination and employment. Emperor Yang set up Jinshi Branch, the school students can directly apply for the school, not to the state, county entrance examination, after passing the state, county sent to the central examination(李亚彬, 2020). Sui Dynasty broke through the old rules of the previous dynasties and created a considerable number of new subjects, which started the system of the Tang Dynasty. The standard of selecting talents gradually changed from morality to examination.
===Development===
However, Sui dynasty lasted only thirty-seven years, which meant that the imperial examination system had been introduced in the Sui dynasty but could not be further developed. Therefore, the important task was carried out by the rulers of the Tang dynasty. Tang dynasty attached great importance to the cultivation and selection of talents. After the founding of the Tang dynasty, several generations of rulers put the emphasis on to the imperial examination and took relevant measures. The first emperor of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan put forward the regular date of“every october”to go to the court for examination, and clarified the local pre-examination of the state and county, which is equivalent to the "Provincial Examination" method of later generations. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, greatly expanded the scale of the college, the school cottages and increased the number of students. Wu Zetian set up a military examination. It held by the Ministry of War examiners, mainly to assess students 'military strength. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, poetry and Fu became the main examination content of Jinshi. Also, during his reign, the court admitted many talented people. The method of selecting scholars by poetry and Fu also greatly promoted the prosperity of Tang poetry(王一汕, 2010).
Song Dynasty was also an important period for the development and reform of the imperial examination system. After the development of Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system of Song Dynasty became mature and complete(邓叶倩, 2019). For one thing, in terms of the form, in Song dynasty, the emperor's personal visit to the palace examination turned into a custom. At the same time, reform measures such as sealing and transcription were taken. Sealing(Mi Feng), that is, the examinee's name, native place and other records on the examination paper sealed up. Transcription is that the palace examination papers will be sent to copy by other people, and then examine the official review. These measures greatly increased the fairness of the examniation, so that more talented and learned people can enter the officialdom, and these reforms even had a profound impact on the modern examination system. However, these measures required a large amount of manpower and material resources, so by the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Song dynasty, the imperial examination was officially held every three years. For another, as for the content, Song dynasty strengthened the status and importance of Ce Lun in the imperial examination. With the rise of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty, the ability of thinking also became an important standard for assessment. In the Song Dynasty, the emperors abolished the examination of poetry and Fu, and replaced it with the examination of the meaning, theory and policy of the classics.
Since then, the basic form and content of the imperial examination system tend to be complete. The imperial examination was held every three years, mainly divided into the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination and the palace examination. In the autumn, the provincial examination was held by each state, The first name is Jieyuan. The metropolitan examination was held in the spring of the following year by the Ministry of Rites, the first name will be called Huiyuan. The palace examination was held in the following month and presided over by the emperor. The first name was Zhuangyuan. Getting the first place three times in a row is known as the "the three consecutive Yuan(Lian Zhong San Yuan)", and ancient China has also appeared such talents. Through the layer upon layer selection at district, provincial and national levels, outstanding talents are called “jinshi”. Such elites obtained qualifications to enter the final examination hosted by the emperor, and were conferred different ranks official positions according to their performance. Because of this, the imperial examination system (keju) had become the main way for all civilians to start their official careers (Ho, 1962).
===Completion===
The Yuan dynasty saw an eighty-year suspension of the imperial examinations, which were later restored, but with increasing inequality, mainly to protect the privileges of the Mongols and reduce the number of Han officials. This phenomenon did not change until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the period when the imperial examination system was flourishing, but it was also the period when it was ending.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial power gradually reached its peak. In order to consolidate the imperial power, the rulers took the imperial examination system as the most important tool to absorb talents. The social atmosphere gradually changed, and many scholars took the imperial examination as their lifelong goal, and "To be a scholar is to be the top of society." became the motto of most scholars at that time.
With the increasing importance of the imperial examination, the emperors carried out a series of reforms on it. First, the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties became a huge system with various levels, rules and regulations. In addition to the above-mentioned several types of examinations, there are new types of examinations: the imperial examinations to admit scholars and county examination(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022), a total of five types of examinations. As a result, many people began to study hard for the imperial examination from a very young age, devoting their whole lives to the imperial examination system. The minimum age for the examination was greatly lowered during this period.
In terms of examination content. To further strengthen their rule and control over the people's thoughts, the rulers of the Qing dynasty limited the imperial examinations to stereotyped writing(bagu). The stereotyped writing(bagu) are that the paragraphs written in the examination articles are fixed, and the scope of the examination is also set and limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, and no other ideas are allowed to exist. Under the implementation of this kind of policy, the stereotyped writing fettered the scholar's thought, and the theory of Chengs and Zhu Xi became rigid under the guidance of the imperial examination system. Scholars have spent their whole lives studying the writing of stereotyped writing, lacking understanding of politics and social reality. Intellectuals 'thinking is solidified and they weren’t able to think out of box. Gu Yanwu, the great mind in late Ming dynasty, once said: "The harm of stereotyped writing is equivalent to burning books." From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the advantages of selecting scholars from stereotyped writing increasingly decreased and the disadvantages gradually increased, which became one of the important factors for the stagnation of national development and the decline of national strength in the late Qing Dynasty.
===End===
In the late Qing Dynasty, due to foreign aggression, China continued to cede territory and pay reparations, and popular discontent ran high. The Qing Dynasty was in serious crisis and emperors wanted to consolidate the rule through reform. Meanwhile, the westernization movement continued to develop, and many western thoughts and ideas spread to China as well(徐云, 2022). Therefore, in order to meet requirements of national development, the content of the imperial examination was constantly adjusted, and the stereotyped writing was gradually abolished. However, the disadvantages of the imperial examination system had been irreversible detrimental and could not become beneficial through reform. Thus, The imperial examination system, frst administered in 605 CE during the Sui dynasty, continued almost uninterrupted until it was finally abandoned in 1905 CE(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022). At this point, the imperial examination system completely withdrew from the stage of history.
Although the imperial examination system had been abolished, it still has had great significance to the modern civil service examination system. This paper thinks that it is meaningful to study and analyze the development and abolition of the imperial examination system.

== '''Abstract''' ==

Chinese people attach great importance to family, which makes family an important part of Chinese culture. The traditional family structure in China mainly consists of Joint Family, stem family, and nuclear family. However, along with the profound changes that have occurred in modern China, the Chinese family structure is also changing, with the nuclear family gradually becoming the dominant family structure and marriage becoming more liberal and the divorce rate increasing. At the same time, there is a growing trend toward gender equality in family relations. Of course, the reasons behind the changes in family structure cannot be separated from the development of society, policy changes, transition in social ideology and even the influence of globalization. In turn, the transition in family structure also has an impact on education and social and economic development.

中国传统家庭结构的变化

== '''摘要''' ==

中国人非常重视家庭，家庭是中国文化的重要组成部分。中国的传统家庭结构主要包括联合家庭、直系家庭、核心家庭。然而，伴随着现代中国发生的深刻变化，中国的家庭结构也在发生变化，核心家庭逐渐成为家庭结构的主导，婚姻变得更加自由，离婚率不断上升。同时，家庭关系中的性别平等趋势也越来越明显。当然，家庭结构变化背后的原因离不开社会的发展、政策的变化、社会意识形态的转型，甚至全球化的影响。反过来，家庭结构的转型也会对教育和社会经济发展产生影响。

'''I. The main types of traditional Chinese family structures'''

1.Joint Family
A joint family is usually a large undivided family where members of more than two generation live together under one roof (grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, their children or even grandchildren). This kind of family is large in size and is usually headed by the eldest member of the family. The responsibility of making decisions rests with the head of the family, although family members can give suggestions. After marriage, the children also live in the same house along with other family members. This family structure was common among wealthy families in ancient China. For example, the family structure in the Dream of the Red Chamber is a typical joint family.
2. Stem family
A stem family consists of parents and one married child, his or her spouse and offspring. It has three generations (or even four), but each generation has at most one couple. It is also known as a medium-sized family. For example, in a stem family, there are grandparents, parents and children, but it does not include uncles and aunts. In terms of size, it is smaller than a joint family while bigger than a nuclear family.
3. Nuclear family
Nuclear family refers to the core members of a family, usually two parents and their children. Children are included only while they’re young enough to live with their parents. This family unit became widely recognized because it’s where many of society’s rules and norms are passed along from parent to child. Sociologists see the concept of a nuclear family as a fundamental building block of society.

'''II. Characteristics of traditional family structure'''

According to the records, in the mid to late 18th century of China, the proportion of nuclear family was over 50%, stem family about 30% and joint family less than 10%. This indicates that nuclear family had become the dominant family form in the society at that time. And the following are the main features within the traditional family structure:
1. Men are Superior to Women and husband guides wife .This feature constitutes the basic structure of the traditional family. As Fei Xiaotong said, the core of a tradition family relationship is the parent-child relationship while the relationship between husband and wife is unimportant.
2. The eldest son has equal inheritance rights with the other brothers. The family became smaller and smaller. Finally, it stayed in the model of a nuclear family. The daughter has no right to inherit, but has the right to get a dowry. The so-called wealth only within three generations is the embodiment of this inheritance system of dividing family assets and the reason why there are few large families in China.
3. Marriage is decided by parents
Children have no marital autonomy. Marriage is often decided by parents. The daughter may have never had any contacts with the husband's family before marrying him, and the wife should be subordinate to her husband.
4. The traditional family has mixed functions, including economic, nurturing, support, affection, support, etc.

'''III. The transition of family structure from traditional to modern.'''

Since the reform and opening up, social resources have been relatively abundant and every aspect of the family has changed dramatically.
1. The family is becoming more nuclearized. Since many of the functions of the family, such as production, education, and support of elders, have been replaced by society. Society has built a large number of nursery schools and nursing homes, it is not necessary to maintain a large family size to perform these functions.
2. Some other types of family structures have emerged. These are: single person families, cohabiting families and even some homosexual cohabiting families.
3. Marriage tends to be autonomous and divorce rate increases. In contemporary times, divorce has also become common, the way of divorce has become more civilized, and more and more divorces are initiated by the wife. In addition, remarriage in old age has been widely accepted by the society, and there is a new trend of the younger generation matching and organizing weddings for their parents.
4. Increasing trend of gender equality in family relations. In today's families, the traditional patriarchy is disappearing and the concept of male superiority over female has been fundamentally changed. There is a tendency for family members to discuss with each other, to make democratic decisions, and to be democratic and egalitarian.

'''IV. Causes behind the changes in family structure'''

1. The One-Child policy has had a huge impact on the structure and size of families in China.
In the late 1970s, The One-Child policy was introduced in China as a national policy. This policy has had a decisive effect on the structure and size of families in China, promoting the trend of the nuclear family. Since the main purpose of the One-Child policy was to reduce the birth rate of each family. Only one child is allowed in urban families and no more than two in rural families (except for ethnic minority areas) and the government was promoting the concept of equality between men and women. A large number of “the only child” are born in cities. In addition, most young married couples live apart from their parents after marriage, thus more and more nuclear families have emerged. The number of empty nest families has also increased.
2. With the development of economy, many responsibilities of the family were assumed by the society, thus nuclear family became more dominating. The tradition family assumed responsibilities such as nurturing children, support the elders and production. But in modern times, economic development has also promoted the division of labor and the development of the social welfare system, and various institutions have emerged in society to help assume some of the family obligations. For example, nursing homes can help take care of the elders, and nurseries or schools can help care for the children. In this way, the adult workforce in the family can devote more energy to their work. In addition, since older couples have pensions and retirement funds after retirement, they can live without relying on their children after retirement, and they prefer to live separately from their children to avoid the tension that may arise between the two generations of couples.
3. The influence of globalization on the family concept in China since the reform and opening up.
Since the opening up, western ideas have come into China, and the younger generation has been increasingly influenced by western family concepts. The emphasis on self-independence in the Western family concept has a great influence on young people. For example, premarital cohabitation, trial marriage, free love, celibacy, gender equality and so on. These concepts have caused an unprecedented impact on the traditional family concept in China. A lot of media reports about western families flooded into our lives, which also had an important impact on our young generation.

'''V. Influences follow the changes'''

1. Impact of changing family structure on family education
The size of the family has shrunk and parents have become more concerned with their children's development. Children are seen as an individual with a sense of independence, personality and individuality, and the goal of parents in raising their children shifted from “glorifying their ancestors” to achieving the all-round development of the child, freedom of personality and perfection of character.
2. The impact of changes in family structure on the economy
As the basic consumption unit of society, the family not only creates new social demand, but also influences social supply. As the population grows and the joint family gradually divides, many new families are created. The rapid increase in the number of households inevitably leads to a simultaneous increase in the demand for many goods, such as housing and furnishings, matching kitchen and sanitary equipment, high-end durable household appliances, furniture sets, cars and household services. In addition, smaller families have more needs for enjoyment and development, higher expectations for their children, and relatively higher expenditures for their children's education and training; With the number of elderly families, especially empty nesters t, continues to increase, there will be a significant increase in elderly living goods and facilities to serve the elderly. These changes in demand structure provide an important basis for corresponding adjustments in the supply structure.

=== Introduction ===
Dream, a common physiological phenomenon, happens during our sleep. It is a mixture of real and unreal, attracting many scholars through all ages to make researches on it. In China, the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams and Huangdi Neijing are two famous books in dream’s interpretation. “Dating back to the Zhou Dynasty, dream officers gave a great push to dream classification. According to Zhouli Chunguan, dream officers divided dreams into six types by observing the positions of the sun, the moon and the stars.” (王健 2012，217) As for Huangdi Neijing in the pre-Qin period, it related dreams to people’s the five internal organs and Yi Yang, etc. (王健 2012，217).
For the West, the most famous book of dream interpretation is The Interpretation of Dreams, which was written by Sigmund Freud. This book is based on Artemidorus’ book—Interpretation of dreams, and combines with Freud’s clinical experience. Whereafter, many masters in psychoanalysis like Carl Gustav Jung and Alfred Adler have shown up, starting to study dreams from different perspectives.

=== The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams ===
The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams is a fortune-telling book according to people’s dream. Because the book is of uncertain day, so some would be doubtful for its existence. After reading the remark of Chang Feng-i, Roberto Keh Ong “tentatively proposes that the Chou-kung chieh meng was already in existence, and quite popular at that, in the sixteenth century.” (Roberto Keh Ong 1981, 6) Since the beginning sentence of the book is “夜有纷纷梦，神魂预吉凶”, “This sets the tone of the text, which means that those good fortune or bad fortune symbolized by dream are omens presented by spirits or ghosts.” (贠培基 2012, 46) But what is affirmative is that the book has a great influence in China, providing the basis of dream interpretation and enlightening people to focus on dream.
In Zhouli Chunguan, it divided dreams into six different types, they are 正、噩、思、悟、喜、惧, which indicates that how the dreams come into existence and their nature. “正梦” means an ordinary dream without causing any pulse; “噩梦”，means a stunning dream; “思梦”means a dream that misses others or thinking about something; “悟梦”means a daydream; “喜梦”means a dream that makes you feel happy; “惧梦” means a horrible dream that makes people frightened.
In the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams, there are four methods of dream interpretation:
 The method of Zhi Meng. It means what you see in the dream will happen in the reality.
 The method of Ce Zi. “The oneiromancer departs a Chinese character into several parts and endows them with special symbolic meaning, and uses these meaning to tell the fortune.” (汤叶舟 2015, 84）
 The method of Xie Yin. It means the oneiromancer compare the dream with the omen in reality, and find out the same pronunciation of them to judge the dream is good or not good.
 The method of Yi Xiang. It means to highlight a single thing in the dream then endow it with special meaning. And the omen from the dream would be got after comparing it with the reality.

=== Huangdi Neijing ===
Huangdi Neijing is the first medical book in China, which contains Lingshu and Suwen these two sections. “This book uses Huangdi as a part of its name, which is finished between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is not finished in a short time, an also be done with only one man. It comprehensively summarizes medical achievements before the Qin and Han Dynasties, laying the foundation of theoretical basis of TCM.” (王凤香 2007，23)
Though it is a medical book, it also refers to oneirology, and analyzes the causes of dream, the mechanism of dream formation and the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome.
Huangdi Neijing explores the reason why dreams happen in many aspects, and there are six points about it:
 The attack of Liu Yin Xie Qi. In TCM, Liu Yin Xie Qi means six pathogenesis cause by eternal stimulus: wind, coldness, heat (often happens in the summer), wetness, dryness, and heat. When failing to adapt to the changeable weathers, people may feel ill and then dreams occur.
 The influence brought by the change of Qiqing. Qiqing refers to seven emotions: happiness, anger, concern, missing, sorrow, scare and fear. Huangdi Neijing reckons that they would happen in dreams, thus their variations in dreams could reflect the physiological and pathological basis of different viscera.
 The dysfunction of viscera.
 The qi of yin and yang in the human body becomes over strong or over weak.
 The state of the body itself.
 Inappropriate treatment.
About the mechanism of dream formation, the book uses these four theories to analyze it: Yin Yang theory, Five-element theory, viscera picture theory and Ying Wei theory.
In terms of the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome, Huangdi Neijing takes Yin and Yang as the general principle of dream syndrome differentiation, brings the syndrome differentiation of viscera into the system of dream syndrome differentiation, and carries out the etiological analysis and differentiation. For the treatment of dream syndrome, the book states that one is to implement the general principle of “实则泻之，虚则补之”; and the other one is “合于五诊”.

=== The Interpretation of Dreams ===
The Interpretation of Dreams is a psychological work by Sigmund Freud, a psychologist from Austria and the founder of psychoanalysis. He interprets dreams by many experiments with a rational thinking, and pioneers modern dream interpretation.
In this book, “Freud argues that dreams contain meaningful information about the dreamer’s unfulfilled, unconscious wishes.” (William J. Jenkins 2017, 10) That is to say that in Freud’s perspective, dream represents a wish-fulfilment. And he also uses an example to explain it: “If, in the evening, I eat anchovies, olives, or other strongly salted foods, I am thirsty at night, and therefore I wake. The waking, however, is preceded by a dream, which has always the same content, namely, that I am drinking.” And he draws a conclusion on it: “From this sensation arises the wish to drink, and the dream shows me this wish as fulfilled.” (Sigmund Freud 1999, 25-26)
Therefore, Freud mainly uses psychoanalysis to interpret dreams, which is quite different from Chinese dream interpretation methods. And what is the most different point is that he uses sex to interpret dreams from a perspective of a psychologist, so he presents the famous Oedipus complex and Electra complex in this book.

中国古代的科举制度
===摘要===
科举考试是封建王朝通过考试选拔官员和人才的制度。科举制度对中国古代产生了深远的影响。因此，了解和研究科举制度是非常必要和有意义的。本文将介绍科举制度的起源和发展，详细描述科举制度的类型和内容，最后阐述科举制度的意义。
===Introduction===
===Origin===
During the Wei, Jin dynasties, the emperor adopted the method of "Nine-rank system" to select talents. However, the system was controlled by powerful families, and only the children of senior officials could be officials, which led to the solidification of the class and the inability to appoint people on the basis of capability. Whereas, in order to consolidate their rule, the rulers also gradually changed their talent selection. Some contents of the imperial examination had already sprout in the Han Dynasty, but this paper still considers the Sui Dynasty as the real origin. The book ''Datang Xinyu'' wrote by Liu Su said:" Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed the Ming and Jin two subjects"(周奇金滢坤, 2022). It was the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who changed the examination to regular, held every year, further carried forward, and finally became a clear beginning of the system.
Emperor Yang Jian of Sui dynasty understood the danger of being subject to the high rank and nobility, abolishing the "Nine-rank system". He carried out the system of selecting scholars by subject, and set up state and county schools to test students, and the state could also send talents to the central government for examination and employment. Emperor Yang set up Jinshi Branch, the school students can directly apply for the school, not to the state, county entrance examination, after passing the state, county sent to the central examination(李亚彬, 2020). Sui Dynasty broke through the old rules of the previous dynasties and created a considerable number of new subjects, which started the system of the Tang Dynasty. The standard of selecting talents gradually changed from morality to examination.
===Development===
However, Sui dynasty lasted only thirty-seven years, which meant that the imperial examination system had been introduced in the Sui dynasty but could not be further developed. Therefore, the important task was carried out by the rulers of the Tang dynasty. Tang dynasty attached great importance to the cultivation and selection of talents. After the founding of the Tang dynasty, several generations of rulers put the emphasis on to the imperial examination and took relevant measures. The first emperor of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan put forward the regular date of“every october”to go to the court for examination, and clarified the local pre-examination of the state and county, which is equivalent to the "Provincial Examination" method of later generations. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, greatly expanded the scale of the college, the school cottages and increased the number of students. Wu Zetian set up a military examination. It held by the Ministry of War examiners, mainly to assess students 'military strength. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, poetry and Fu became the main examination content of Jinshi. Also, during his reign, the court admitted many talented people. The method of selecting scholars by poetry and Fu also greatly promoted the prosperity of Tang poetry(王一汕, 2010).
Song Dynasty was also an important period for the development and reform of the imperial examination system. After the development of Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system of Song Dynasty became mature and complete(邓叶倩, 2019). For one thing, in terms of the form, in Song dynasty, the emperor's personal visit to the palace examination turned into a custom. At the same time, reform measures such as sealing and transcription were taken. Sealing(Mi Feng), that is, the examinee's name, native place and other records on the examination paper sealed up. Transcription is that the palace examination papers will be sent to copy by other people, and then examine the official review. These measures greatly increased the fairness of the examniation, so that more talented and learned people can enter the officialdom, and these reforms even had a profound impact on the modern examination system. However, these measures required a large amount of manpower and material resources, so by the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Song dynasty, the imperial examination was officially held every three years. For another, as for the content, Song dynasty strengthened the status and importance of Ce Lun in the imperial examination. With the rise of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty, the ability of thinking also became an important standard for assessment. In the Song Dynasty, the emperors abolished the examination of poetry and Fu, and replaced it with the examination of the meaning, theory and policy of the classics.
Since then, the basic form and content of the imperial examination system tend to be complete. The imperial examination was held every three years, mainly divided into the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination and the palace examination. In the autumn, the provincial examination was held by each state, The first name is Jieyuan. The metropolitan examination was held in the spring of the following year by the Ministry of Rites, the first name will be called Huiyuan. The palace examination was held in the following month and presided over by the emperor. The first name was Zhuangyuan. Getting the first place three times in a row is known as the "the three consecutive Yuan(Lian Zhong San Yuan)", and ancient China has also appeared such talents. Through the layer upon layer selection at district, provincial and national levels, outstanding talents are called “jinshi”. Such elites obtained qualifications to enter the final examination hosted by the emperor, and were conferred different ranks official positions according to their performance. Because of this, the imperial examination system (keju) had become the main way for all civilians to start their official careers (Ho, 1962).
===Completion===
The Yuan dynasty saw an eighty-year suspension of the imperial examinations, which were later restored, but with increasing inequality, mainly to protect the privileges of the Mongols and reduce the number of Han officials. This phenomenon did not change until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the period when the imperial examination system was flourishing, but it was also the period when it was ending.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial power gradually reached its peak. In order to consolidate the imperial power, the rulers took the imperial examination system as the most important tool to absorb talents. The social atmosphere gradually changed, and many scholars took the imperial examination as their lifelong goal, and "To be a scholar is to be the top of society." became the motto of most scholars at that time.
With the increasing importance of the imperial examination, the emperors carried out a series of reforms on it. First, the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties became a huge system with various levels, rules and regulations. In addition to the above-mentioned several types of examinations, there are new types of examinations: the imperial examinations to admit scholars and county examination(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022), a total of five types of examinations. As a result, many people began to study hard for the imperial examination from a very young age, devoting their whole lives to the imperial examination system. The minimum age for the examination was greatly lowered during this period.
In terms of examination content. To further strengthen their rule and control over the people's thoughts, the rulers of the Qing dynasty limited the imperial examinations to stereotyped writing(bagu). The stereotyped writing(bagu) are that the paragraphs written in the examination articles are fixed, and the scope of the examination is also set and limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, and no other ideas are allowed to exist. Under the implementation of this kind of policy, the stereotyped writing fettered the scholar's thought, and the theory of Chengs and Zhu Xi became rigid under the guidance of the imperial examination system. Scholars have spent their whole lives studying the writing of stereotyped writing, lacking understanding of politics and social reality. Intellectuals 'thinking is solidified and they weren’t able to think out of box. Gu Yanwu, the great mind in late Ming dynasty, once said: "The harm of stereotyped writing is equivalent to burning books." From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the advantages of selecting scholars from stereotyped writing increasingly decreased and the disadvantages gradually increased, which became one of the important factors for the stagnation of national development and the decline of national strength in the late Qing Dynasty.
===End===
In the late Qing Dynasty, due to foreign aggression, China continued to cede territory and pay reparations, and popular discontent ran high. The Qing Dynasty was in serious crisis and emperors wanted to consolidate the rule through reform. Meanwhile, the westernization movement continued to develop, and many western thoughts and ideas spread to China as well(徐云, 2022). Therefore, in order to meet requirements of national development, the content of the imperial examination was constantly adjusted, and the stereotyped writing was gradually abolished. However, the disadvantages of the imperial examination system had been irreversible detrimental and could not become beneficial through reform. Thus, The imperial examination system, frst administered in 605 CE during the Sui dynasty, continued almost uninterrupted until it was finally abandoned in 1905 CE(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022). At this point, the imperial examination system completely withdrew from the stage of history.
Although the imperial examination system had been abolished, it still has had great significance to the modern civil service examination system. This paper thinks that it is meaningful to study and analyze the development and abolition of the imperial examination system.

== '''Abstract''' ==

Chinese people attach great importance to family, which makes family an important part of Chinese culture. The traditional family structure in China mainly consists of Joint Family, stem family, and nuclear family. However, along with the profound changes that have occurred in modern China, the Chinese family structure is also changing, with the nuclear family gradually becoming the dominant family structure and marriage becoming more liberal and the divorce rate increasing. At the same time, there is a growing trend toward gender equality in family relations. Of course, the reasons behind the changes in family structure cannot be separated from the development of society, policy changes, transition in social ideology and even the influence of globalization. In turn, the transition in family structure also has an impact on education and social and economic development.

'''I. The main types of traditional Chinese family structures'''

1.Joint Family
A joint family is usually a large undivided family where members of more than two generation live together under one roof (grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, their children or even grandchildren). This kind of family is large in size and is usually headed by the eldest member of the family. The responsibility of making decisions rests with the head of the family, although family members can give suggestions. After marriage, the children also live in the same house along with other family members. This family structure was common among wealthy families in ancient China. For example, the family structure in the Dream of the Red Chamber is a typical joint family.
2. Stem family
A stem family consists of parents and one married child, his or her spouse and offspring. It has three generations (or even four), but each generation has at most one couple. It is also known as a medium-sized family. For example, in a stem family, there are grandparents, parents and children, but it does not include uncles and aunts. In terms of size, it is smaller than a joint family while bigger than a nuclear family.
3. Nuclear family
Nuclear family refers to the core members of a family, usually two parents and their children. Children are included only while they’re young enough to live with their parents. This family unit became widely recognized because it’s where many of society’s rules and norms are passed along from parent to child. Sociologists see the concept of a nuclear family as a fundamental building block of society.

'''II. Characteristics of traditional family structure'''

According to the records, in the mid to late 18th century of China, the proportion of nuclear family was over 50%, stem family about 30% and joint family less than 10%. This indicates that nuclear family had become the dominant family form in the society at that time. And the following are the main features within the traditional family structure:
1. Men are Superior to Women and husband guides wife .This feature constitutes the basic structure of the traditional family. As Fei Xiaotong said, the core of a tradition family relationship is the parent-child relationship while the relationship between husband and wife is unimportant.
2. The eldest son has equal inheritance rights with the other brothers. The family became smaller and smaller. Finally, it stayed in the model of a nuclear family. The daughter has no right to inherit, but has the right to get a dowry. The so-called wealth only within three generations is the embodiment of this inheritance system of dividing family assets and the reason why there are few large families in China.
3. Marriage is decided by parents
Children have no marital autonomy. Marriage is often decided by parents. The daughter may have never had any contacts with the husband's family before marrying him, and the wife should be subordinate to her husband.
4. The traditional family has mixed functions, including economic, nurturing, support, affection, support, etc.

'''III. The transition of family structure from traditional to modern.'''

Since the reform and opening up, social resources have been relatively abundant and every aspect of the family has changed dramatically.
1. The family is becoming more nuclearized. Since many of the functions of the family, such as production, education, and support of elders, have been replaced by society. Society has built a large number of nursery schools and nursing homes, it is not necessary to maintain a large family size to perform these functions.
2. Some other types of family structures have emerged. These are: single person families, cohabiting families and even some homosexual cohabiting families.
3. Marriage tends to be autonomous and divorce rate increases. In contemporary times, divorce has also become common, the way of divorce has become more civilized, and more and more divorces are initiated by the wife. In addition, remarriage in old age has been widely accepted by the society, and there is a new trend of the younger generation matching and organizing weddings for their parents.
4. Increasing trend of gender equality in family relations. In today's families, the traditional patriarchy is disappearing and the concept of male superiority over female has been fundamentally changed. There is a tendency for family members to discuss with each other, to make democratic decisions, and to be democratic and egalitarian.

'''IV. Causes behind the changes in family structure'''

1. The One-Child policy has had a huge impact on the structure and size of families in China.
In the late 1970s, The One-Child policy was introduced in China as a national policy. This policy has had a decisive effect on the structure and size of families in China, promoting the trend of the nuclear family. Since the main purpose of the One-Child policy was to reduce the birth rate of each family. Only one child is allowed in urban families and no more than two in rural families (except for ethnic minority areas) and the government was promoting the concept of equality between men and women. A large number of “the only child” are born in cities. In addition, most young married couples live apart from their parents after marriage, thus more and more nuclear families have emerged. The number of empty nest families has also increased.
2. With the development of economy, many responsibilities of the family were assumed by the society, thus nuclear family became more dominating. The tradition family assumed responsibilities such as nurturing children, support the elders and production. But in modern times, economic development has also promoted the division of labor and the development of the social welfare system, and various institutions have emerged in society to help assume some of the family obligations. For example, nursing homes can help take care of the elders, and nurseries or schools can help care for the children. In this way, the adult workforce in the family can devote more energy to their work. In addition, since older couples have pensions and retirement funds after retirement, they can live without relying on their children after retirement, and they prefer to live separately from their children to avoid the tension that may arise between the two generations of couples.
3. The influence of globalization on the family concept in China since the reform and opening up.
Since the opening up, western ideas have come into China, and the younger generation has been increasingly influenced by western family concepts. The emphasis on self-independence in the Western family concept has a great influence on young people. For example, premarital cohabitation, trial marriage, free love, celibacy, gender equality and so on. These concepts have caused an unprecedented impact on the traditional family concept in China. A lot of media reports about western families flooded into our lives, which also had an important impact on our young generation.

'''V. Influences follow the changes'''

1. Impact of changing family structure on family education
The size of the family has shrunk and parents have become more concerned with their children's development. Children are seen as an individual with a sense of independence, personality and individuality, and the goal of parents in raising their children shifted from “glorifying their ancestors” to achieving the all-round development of the child, freedom of personality and perfection of character.
2. The impact of changes in family structure on the economy
As the basic consumption unit of society, the family not only creates new social demand, but also influences social supply. As the population grows and the joint family gradually divides, many new families are created. The rapid increase in the number of households inevitably leads to a simultaneous increase in the demand for many goods, such as housing and furnishings, matching kitchen and sanitary equipment, high-end durable household appliances, furniture sets, cars and household services. In addition, smaller families have more needs for enjoyment and development, higher expectations for their children, and relatively higher expenditures for their children's education and training; With the number of elderly families, especially empty nesters t, continues to increase, there will be a significant increase in elderly living goods and facilities to serve the elderly. These changes in demand structure provide an important basis for corresponding adjustments in the supply structure.

“康复后的患者体内有大量中和抗体，可以抵抗新型冠状病毒。”张定宇介绍说，在缺乏疫苗和特效治疗药物的前提下，采用这种特免血浆制品治疗新冠病毒感染是较为有效的方法。“康复者捐献的血浆，会经过一系列处理，得到一个相对纯化的对抗新冠病毒中和抗体，用于新冠肺炎危重患者的治疗。”
专家认为，从临床病理发生过程看，大部分新冠肺炎患者经过治疗康复后，身体内会产生针对新冠病毒的特异性抗体，可杀灭和清除病毒。
金银潭医院配合相关研究团队立即开展了康复期患者血浆的釆集工作。

捐献血浆必须符合三项条件：一、年龄在18—60周岁之间；二、确诊感染过新型冠状病毒（核酸检测阳性）；三、病愈出院一周以上。

预约到医院后，先进行身份登记并填写健康征询表及知情同意书，再进行健康状况问诊、血液检查，经最后确认后，每人采集血量在200—40。毫升之间，采血完成后，向献血者发放一定数额的经济补偿。
张定宇在发布会上发出呼吁后，社会广泛关注。
2月13日晚，中国生物技术股份有限公司、武汉市血液中心也联合向新冠肺炎康复者发出献血倡议书，并在湖北省人民医院开放爱心献血屋。

====陈淑敏 Chen Shumin====

从第二天开始，就有不少康复者来电咨询，表示支持金银潭医院的这项研究。
金银潭医院将这一方法很快用于4个重症患者的治疗。
4个患者的病情都有好转。从整体来看，患者自我感觉喘气等症状减缓了，精神状态、食欲都有提升；从指标上看，血氧饱和度比以前稳定些，淋巴细胞的绝对值也得到了提升。
“这类指标对患者康复是很重要的参考。”但张定宇提醒说, 采用特免血浆制品治疗的方式并不是“灵丹妙药”，最终战胜病魔更多的还是要靠患者自身的免疫力。这种治疗主要是给患者一个喘息的机会，使病情往好的方向发展，同时也给医生抢救危重患者赢得更多的时间。
已于1月29日康复出院的张定宇的夫人程琳，也来到金银潭医院捐献了 400毫升血浆。
首例遗体解剖完成并送检
Since the next day, many patients called in support of the study.
Jinyintan Hospital soon used this method to treat four seriously ill patients. All of them showed improvement. On the whole, patients felt that their symptoms, such as wheezing, were reduced, and their mental state and appetite were improved. In terms of indicators, blood oxygen saturation was more stable than before, and the absolute value of lymphocytes was also increased. "Such indicators are important references for patients' recovery." But Zhang Dingyu cautioned that the use of special plasma products was not a "panacea", and ultimately the recovery of disease more depended on the patient's own immunity. This kind of treatment was mainly to give the patient a chance to breathe, making the condition progress toward a better direction, but also help doctors to fight for critically ill patients more time. Zhang Dingyu's wife Cheng Lin, who was discharged from hospital on January 29, also donated 400 ml of blood plasma to Jinyintan Hospital. The first autopsy was completed and submitted for examination.

对于一种致人死亡的新型疾病，遗体解剖对掌握其病理意义重大。解剖新冠肺炎死亡者遗体，对于探索新冠肺炎患者临床的病理改变、疾病机制等有重大帮助，能从根本上探究新冠肺炎的致病性、致死性，给临床抢救和治疗危重症患者提供依据。
实际上，新冠肺炎疫情暴发后的一个多月里，有关方面一直呼吁对死亡病例进行病理解剖。但由于新冠肺炎属烈性传染病，解剖风险过高，加上国内少有针对甲级传染病、达到P3 级生物实验室标准的病理解剖实验室，使得相关工作迟迟难以落实。
国际上根据生物安全的防护等级将生物实验室分为四级： Pl、P2、P3和P4实验室。P是Protection的缩写，其中1级的防护级别最低，4级最高。

1月25日，61岁的钱先生因持续高热、呼吸困难被送到湖北省中医院光谷院区急诊科，随后确诊为新冠肺炎，由于基础疾病多，病情发展快，曾先后两次被宣告病危。
钱先生后经湖北省中医院急诊科主任李刚副教授团队进行十多天中西医结合治疗和调理，于2月17日康复出院。
李刚说：“中医药治疗贯穿钱先生治疗全病程。根据不同病程，开具’肺炎2号’’肺炎3号’’肺炎4号’和’肺炎5号' 方。他能转危为安，中医药发挥了重要作用。”
68岁的重症患者霍先生与钱先生同一天出院。两人病程发展有所不同，治疗过程中，中药使用也略有差异。

On January 25,61-year-old Mr. Qian was sent to the emergency department in the Guanggu district of Hospital of Hubei Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine due to persistent high fever and dyspnea. Later, he was diagnosed with COVID-19. Due to many underlying conditions and rapid development of the disease, he was declared to be terminally ill twice. After more than ten days of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment and conditioning by the team of associate professor Li Gang, director of the emergency department of Hubei Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Mr. Qian recovered and was discharged from the hospital on February 17. Li Gang said: "Chinese medicine treatment is intergrated with the whole course of treatment of Mr. Qian. Prescriptions of "pneumonia No.2,""pneumonia No.3,""pneumonia No.4" and "pneumonia No.5" were prescribed according to different courses of disease. He was able to turn the corner, and Chinese medicine played an important role." Mr. Huo, a 68-year-old critically ill patient, was discharged from the hospital on the same day as Mr. Qian. The course of disease of the two people is different, and the use of traditional Chinese medicine is also slightly different during the treatment.

中西医协同作战成效显著
金银潭医院是最早尝试中西医结合抢救重症患者和治疗轻症患者的医院。
1月25日，大年初一，国家中医药局组织中国中医科学院广安门医院、中国中医科学院西苑医院中医专家组成25人的医疗队，赶赴湖北省武汉市新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎防疫一线参与防治工作。
医疗队由国家中医药局副局长闫树江带队，中国中医科学院院长黄璐琦院士领队，广安门医院和西苑医院各派出呼吸科、急诊科、ICU等科室的6名医师和4名护士，携N95 口罩、手术衣以及部分中药等物资，乘火车前往武汉，提供中医医疗援助。
此前，由中国科学院院士、中国中医科学院首席研究员仝小林，广东省中医院副院长张忠德，中国中医科学院西苑医院呼吸科主任苗青，首都医科大学附属北京中医医院呼吸科主任兼肺病研究室主任王玉光组成的高级别中医专家组已经抵达武汉。

====侯永芬 Hou Yongfen====

出发前，黄璐琦就做了充足准备：研读疫情有关报道和科研文章，分析非典期间中医药发挥的优势和特色，梳理治疗方案；组建医疗队，培训呼吸科、急诊科、ICU等科室的医务人员；协调沟通武汉医务人员，了解武汉情况，准备防护物资。
金银潭医院是抗疫的最前沿和主战场之一。在该院坚持中西医结合，推动中医药全面参与治疗，搭建一个中医药的保障平台，积极完善中西医结合诊疗方案，对于抗击疫情有着重要作用。
1月29日，经过连续几天病区布局、人员调配、药品保障等准备，国家中医医疗队接管金银潭南一区。这也是疫情发生后第一个接管重病区的中医医疗队。
针对医院中药药品不足的现状，医疗队迅速搭建中药供应保障平台，保证医院药品供应。

Before setting out, Huang had made adequate preparations: reading relevant reports and scientific research articles on the epidemic, analyzing the advantages and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine during SARS, and sorting out treatment plans; Medical teams have been set up to train medical staff in respiratory, emergency and ICU departments and coordinating and communicating with medical personnel in Wuhan to understand the situation in Wuhan and prepare protective materials.
Jinyintan Hospital is one of the forefront and main battlefields in the fight against the epidemic. The hospital adheres to the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, promotes the full participation of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment, builds a platform for the protection of traditional Chinese medicine, and actively improves the diagnosis and treatment plan of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which plays an important role in the fight against the epidemic.
On January 29, after several days of preparation, such as ward layout, staff allocation and drug support, the National TCM medical team took over the first district of Jinyintan South. This is also the first TCM medical team to take over the critically ill area after the outbreak of the epidemic.
In view of the shortage of traditional Chinese medicine in hospitals, the medical team quickly set up a platform to ensure the supply of traditional Chinese medicine.

“接管病区奠定了中医药防控新型冠状病毒肺炎的基础”, 黄璐琦说，当时医疗队主管的32张病床开辟了中医药防控新冠肺炎的战场，使中医药能够与西医同台合作。
病区第一批患者服用中药，第二天就有患者反映：睡眠好转，咳喘、乏力症状减轻。
“寻找中医药疗效的高级别循证证据，有利于优化临床方案并加以推广，提高临床救治率。”黄璐琦介绍说，在医疗队接管金银潭医院病区的同时，中国中医科学院后方科研攻关组也同步成立，配合武汉前方进行临床数据分析，优化治疗方案。科研攻关组紧急设计开发了供医护人员使用的症状信息和舌诊图像采集程序，以及针对方舱医院的患者自述症状采集系统，为全面开展临床研究提供了技术支撑。

金银潭8名患者经中西医结合治疗，2月3日病愈出院后不久，张定宇找到黄璐琦和苗青商量，希望在全院进行中西医结合治疗。
2月14日晚，湖北省新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情防控工作指挥部召开第24场新闻发布会，介绍中医药参与湖北省疫情防控有关情况。
黄璐琦在发布会上介绍说，截至2月14日，中国中医科学院医疗队在金银潭医院负责的床位42张，共收治患者86例，其中重症65例，危重21例，目前治愈的有33人。
他说：“我们把出院的患者进行统计对比，中西医结合在核酸转阴的时间上比纯西药效果显著，在降低发热、咳嗽、乏力、食欲减退、心慌等十个症状上比西医组的改善也更明显，对淋巴细胞中性粒细胞的改善也更明显，且中西医结合的平均住院时间小于西医治疗时间。”
Eight patients in Jinyintan were treated with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. Shortly after they were discharged from the hospital on February 3, Zhang Dingyu found Huang Luqi and Miao Qing to discuss, hoping to have integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the hospital. On the evening of February 14, the Headquarters for the Prevention and Control of novel coronavirus Pneumonia in Hubei Province held the 24th press conference to introduce the participation of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and control of the epidemic in Hubei Province. Huang Luqi said at the press conference that as of February 14, the medical team of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine had 42 beds in charge of the Jinyintan Hospital, and 86 patients had been admitted, including 65 patients with severe diseases and 21 patients with critical diseases. At present, 33 patients have been cured. He said: "We statistically compare the discharged patients. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine has a significant effect on the time when nucleic acid turns negative compared with pure western medicine. It also has a more significant improvement on the ten symptoms, such as fever, cough, fatigue, anorexia, and palpitation, than the western medicine group. It also has a more significant improvement on the sex granulocytes in lymphocytes, and the average hospitalization time of the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine is less than the western medicine treatment time."

一位医生的确诊和治疗康复之路
从一名医生，到一名新冠肺炎患者，对左东波来说，不过是两天时间。
左东波，38岁，武汉东西湖第二人民医院的一名骨科医生。 2020年1月初，他在工作岗位上感染新冠肺炎。
“因为在门诊上班，遇到的患者比较多，也有医生出现发烧。我没有太在意，口服了奥司他韦，但是效果不好。”左东波回应说。出现症状后，病情发展之快，是左东波所没有预料到的。
1月7号，他开始严重发烧，咳嗽更加厉害。他自行打了吊针，都是门诊上自己开的方子，主要是头抱等药物。当天，左东波做了一个胸部CT,胸部CT显示肺部有轻度感染。
“一直熬到了 1月9号。9号上午我在上班，当时就已经高烧到39度多。"
左东波有种不好的预感，直觉告诉他，这不是简单的感冒。

====李佳珺 Li Jiajun====

“我从来没有过这样糟糕的感觉。自己平时身体状况很好，喜欢游泳，连药都没买过。” 1月9号，他在化验的时候加做了一个查血，随后又去做了一次CT。
这次他有点被吓到了：和之前的CT相比，肺部毛玻璃更加明显，而且双肺都有毛玻璃。
发现病情加重之后，左东波直接住到了东西湖区人民医院感染科，因为这个医院和他所在的东西湖区第二人民医院对口。科室的刘主任跟他是好朋友。
住院后，左东波一直备受煎熬，“从东西湖区人民医院转院时，感觉自己都快不行了。有一种濒死感，就像人淹到水里面一样，一脱离高压氧，根本没办法呼吸。”
从1月9日入住东西湖人民医院本部，到1月16日下午转到金银潭医院重症监护室，左东波经历了人生最难熬的一周。
从东西湖到金银潭，救护车载着左东波驶向生的希望。

“I have never had this kind of bad feeling. I’m always fighting fit. I love swimming. And I have never bought medicine.” On January 9th, he did an extra blood test when he had the coronavirus test, and then, he had a CT scan examination.
This time he was shocked by the result: compared with the former CT, ground-glass opacity was much more obvious, and the whole lung had GGO.
Knowing his health condition turned worse, Zuo Dongbo was directly hospitalized in the Dongxihu District People’s Hospital Infection Department. This hospital was opposite to the Second Dongxihu District Hospital which he worked at, and the office director Dr liu was his good friend.
Being hospitalized, Zoo Dongbo was suffering from the illness.“On the way leaving the hospital, I felt like I was dying. It’s like drowning, once I stopped having HPO, I cannot breathe.”
From January 9th, moving into the Dongxihu District People’s Hospital, to January 16th, transferring to the Jinyintan Hospital, Zuo Dongbo had had his most unbearable week in his life.
From Dongxihu to Jinyintan, the ambulance carried Zuo Dongbo to the hope of life.

当他再次醒来时，发现自己已经在金银潭医院了， “我很庆幸，多亏了我妹妹和妹夫，替我做了一个很重要的决定—— 转到金银潭医院。”
刚转到金银潭医院，左东波话也说不出来。慢慢地恢复意识后，他的第一个感受是，这里的护士对待每个患者都如同自己家人。危重患者治疗要求不能脱氧，只能在床上大小便。年纪大的患者，翻身时需要几个护士一起做。身为同行和患者，左东波对于护士们的付出第一次感受得如此深入。

====李玮瑶 Li Weiyao====

同病房有四个重症患者，左东波眼看着他们一个个地离去，心里很不是滋味。在转入轻症病房前，左东波主动提议和护理他的上海支援湖北医疗队队员、复旦大学附属金山医院神经外科重症监护室主管护师张文英合影留念，互相加油鼓劲。

1月31号，因不需要高流量给氧，左东波转到了普通病房。
在普通病房，左东波经常跟护士们交流防护方面的问题，叮嘱他们多注意穿脱细节。“因为穿着防护服，我其实记不住他们的长相，但确实很感激。”
从金银潭出院后，左东波进行了 14天的隔离观察。隔离观察期结束后，左东波又奔赴抗疫战场。

第二早

坚守阵地的金银潭战士们

白衣作战袍，塵战金银潭。

金银潭医院作为抗击新冠肺炎疫情之战的风暴眼中心，可以说是战争最激烈的地方。医院所有在职干部职工坚守阵地，毫不退缩，与疫魔展开塵战。
院长张定宇是这一片战场的主心骨。在他的身后，是亲密无间的战友——“以身试药”的副院长黄朝林、为前线战士输送弹药的医院药师们、“生命摆渡人” 120团队、医院南二病区楼道和病房中进进出出的白衣天使、为所有医护人员和患者守着“一盏灯”的后勤员工、争分夺秒寻找病毒“解药”的医院 GCP机构、比任何人都更接近病毒的检验科员工

拼渐冻生命与疫魔竟速

记疫情“风暴眼”中武汉金银潭医院院长张定宇

The second morning

The ground-holding soldiers of Jinyintan Hospital

With white coat being campaign gown, fighting fiercely in Jinyintan Hospital.

As the storm eye center of the anti-pandemic battle, Jinyintan Hospital can be seen as the fiercest place of this battle. All the hospital’s cadres in work held the ground without any thought of retreating back and fought fiercely against the evil pandemic. Director Zhang Dingyu was the backbone of this field. Behind him were his close fellow fighters: vice director Huang Chaolin who “tested medicine in person”, pharmacists providing medicine “bullets” for the fighters in the front, the 120 work team who ferried lives, doctors in and out of the corridors and wards of the hospital south No. 2 department, the logistic staff supporting all medical staff and patients, the hospital GCP agency seizing every minute and second to find the cure for the virus, and the clinical laboratory staff who were the closest to the virus.

====李彦 Li Yan====

生命，有起点，也会有终点。张定宇——武汉抗疫一线一位医护人员，似乎在按倒计时的方式与生命和时间进行着搏斗。
手里接打着一个又一个几乎不间断的电话，脚下步子也不停，还不忘对身边人发出一个又一个清晰的指令……
这，是武汉市金银潭医院院长张定宇给人的第一印象。
金银潭，老武汉人都未必熟悉的一家传染病专科医院，这些天频繁见诸媒体。这里，是最早集中收治不明肺炎患者的医院，是这场全民抗“疫”之战最早打响的地方。
张定宇在这场与病毒赛跑、与死神竞速的战事中，已经战斗了 33天。而他自己，也在同“渐冻症”进行着顽强斗争。
个性“粗糙”的院长：“幸亏靠了他的暴脾气和果断！”

Life has a beginning and an end. Zhang Dingyu, a paramedic on the front line of the fight against the epidemic in Wuhan, seems to be fighting for his life and time in a countdown manner.
With phone call after phone call almost non-stop in his hands and his feet on the ground, he is still giving clear instructions to those around him. ......
This, is the first impression given by Zhang Dingyu, the director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital.
The first thing that struck me was that Zhang Dingyu, the director of the Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan, a specialist hospital for infectious diseases that may not be familiar to any old Wuhaner, is frequently seen in the media these days. It was the first hospital to focus on patients with unknown pneumonia and the first place where the battle against the epidemic was fought.
Zhang Dingyu has been fighting for 33 days in this race against the virus and death. He, too, has been fighting a tough battle against the disease.
The "rough" personality of the dean: "Fortunately, we can rely on his temper and determination!

====李梓玉 Li Ziyu====

2019年12月29日，武汉，雾，多云。
武汉华南海鲜批发市场首批不明肺炎患者转入位于武汉三环外的金银潭医院。
“当时不少医疗机构也陆续出现不明原因肺炎患者，绝对不能大意。”多年从事传染病防治，职业敏感让张定宇第一时间判断，这不是普通的传染病。
果断决策：他将这些患者迅速集中到隔离病房，穿上防护服，进隔离区查看症状，分析研判。
隆冬，一股寒意向张定宇袭来，情况比他想象的要糟。

====梁昕璐 Liang Xinlu====

12月30日一早，他再度决策：紧急布置腾退病房，抽调更多医疗力量，新开两个病区，转入80多名患者，完成清洁消毒，设备物资人员调配……
平时少有人知晓的金银潭，拌和着空气中浓浓消毒水味的，还有凝重紧张的气氛。
人类与重大疾病斗争史上，未知和恐惧，从来都如影随形；清醒和果敢，也愈加珍贵地相生相伴。

====廖璐佳 Liao Lujia ====

之后的日子，时钟的钟摆对金银潭、对张定宇、对已知和未知的所有，似乎都踏上了加速度的轨道。
不断有新患者转入，相当于医院要不断“换水”，任何一丝不细致都会弄出乱子。
早上7点半，往往换班的医护人员还没到，张定宇就已经到了。“今天收了多少患者？ ” “多少出院？ ”他每次问，都要回答者脱口而出说出精确数字。“收患者、转患者、管患者，按道理有些事他可以不管，但他都会到现场亲自过问。”南三病区主任张丽说。
张丽2003年曾参与过抗击非典，对传染病防治是见过大场面的。搁平时，这位资深传染病医生，见了张定宇却多少会躲着走。“脾气粗糙，你和他说话都不许插嘴”，张丽说。

In the days that followed, the pendulum of the clock seemed to accelerate for Jin Yintan, Zhang Dingyu, and everything known and unknown. New patients were transferred to the hospital, which means hospital constantly cured former patients, and lack of meticulousness will make a mess. At 7:30 a.m., Zhang Dingyu had already arrived before the medical staff who worked the shift arrived. "How many patients were admitted today? How many are discharges?" Every time he asked, he had the respondents blurt out the exact number. “Accepting, transferring and managing patients are not his business and he can ignore some things, but he will go to the scene to personally inquire.” Zhang Li, director of the South Three ward, said. Zhang Li participated in the fight against SARS in 2003 and has seen big scenes in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Usually, this senior infectious disease doctor would hide away to some extent when he saw Zhang Dingyu. "You have a rough temper, so you are not allowed to interrupt him when you talk to him." Zhang Li said.

Zhang Li said.

====刘丛领 Liu Congling ====

张丽没想到的是，这次不仅是“粗糙”，更是躲不过去的 “折磨”。“任务布置急、要求高，事无巨细，骂起人来都不留情面。”
被“折磨”的张丽在这次危机中却感觉到张定宇“粗糙” 脾气下的细致。“幸亏靠了他的暴脾气和果断。有困难找他，总会有办法。现在看到他的身影，有种踏实的感觉。”
1月8日，国家卫健委公布，初步确认“新型冠状病毒” 为此次疫情的病原。
武汉，九省通衢，有1100万人口。几乎一夜间，成为一场波及全球疫情的“风暴眼”。
“风暴眼”中：“有他在，医护人员、患者、家属心里都有底。” 疫情袭来，冲击着每一个人。坚毅，能不能战胜恐慌？武汉，紧张中蕴含着不安和骚动。金银潭医院病区内，呼叫医务服务的铃声此起彼伏，与病楼外疏落的人影形成强烈的反差。
Zhang Li did not expect that this time is not only "rough", but also an unavoidable "torture". "The task is urgent and demanding, so there is no mercy in scolding people." "Tortured" Zhang Li in this crisis found Zhang Dingyu’ meticulousness under his cover of "rough" temper. "Thanks to his temper and determination. He can always find out a solution when you are stuck in trouble. I feel a sense of security when I see him." On January 8, the National Health Commission announced that the novel coronavirus was initially identified as the cause of the outbreak. Wuhan, a thoroughfare of nine provinces and home to 11 million people, became the epicentre of a global pandemic all but overnight. In the "eye of the storm", his being makes medical staff, patients, family members feel secure. The rampant epidemic was affecting everyone. Can perseverance conquer panic? In Wuhan, there is unease and commotion in the tension. In the ward of Jinyintan Hospital, the sound of the bell calling for medical services is repeated one after another, in sharp contrast to the scattered figures outside the building.

====刘佳玉 Liu Jiayu ====

“风暴眼”中，张定宇走着、说着。
对患者，他是一种语气。
“您家莫急莫急，我马上安排人出来接。”
对下级，他是另一种态度。
“搞快点，搞快点，这个事情一点都等不得，马上就搞。” 严厉，但是镇定。
张定宇告诉大家：对呼吸道传染病不必过于恐慌，按要求做好防护就没危险。“我们要胆大心细！有什么责任有我担着。”
他身后，从一个病区，到一栋楼，到三栋楼；护士从两小时交接班一次，延长到四五个小时一次；医生更是恨不得把一个人掰成两个人来用……
“去年12月29日到现在，他没休过一天，只有两个晚上离开医院稍微早些。”金银潭医院党委书记王先广说。给他留下深刻印象的还有这位搭档蹒跚的身影。

In the “eye of the storm”, Zhang Dingyu walked and talked. To the patient, he said in a soothing voice, “Don’t worry. I’ll have someone pick you up right away.” To his subordinates, however, he has a different attitude, “Hurry up, hurry up! This can’t be put off. We must do it right now.” He was strict, but calm. Zhang Dingyu told everyone: there was no need to panic about respiratory infections. There would be no danger if everyone took proper precautions as required. “We must be bold but careful! I will take responsibility for whatever it is.” Behind him, it went from one ward, to one building, then to three buildings; nurses shift from once every two hours to once every four or five hours; doctors wished they could divide themselves into two... “Since December 29th last year, he has not taken a day off. Only two nights did he leave the hospital a little early.” said Wang Xianguang, the party secretary of Jinyintan Hospital. He was also impressed by the staggering figure of his partner.

====刘婷婷 Liu Tingting====

越来越多的同事发现，一向脚步如风的院长下楼梯脚步越来越慢。面对越来越多人的追问，张定宇终于承认：“我得了渐冻症，两年前就犯病了，下楼吃力，更怕摔倒。”
渐冻症是一种罕见病症，慢慢会进展为全身肌肉萎缩和吞咽困难，直至呼吸衰竭。“我特别怕下楼，必须扶着。平时，我下楼都会抓住我爱人。”
“多少次问他，都说膝关节动过手术。”感染科主任文丹宁说。直至这次，她和其他同事才回过神来，“为什么他脚步高低不平，上下楼一定要抓紧扶手，慢慢挪。”
北七病区护士长贾春敏却不承认。“他明明走得好快！ ” 1 月21日晚腾退完病房后，正等待转入新患者，贾春敏就接到张定宇电话：“五分钟到北7楼，看新病区还差些什么？ ”
放下电话，贾春敏赶着拉上装物资的小推车一路小跑。“他从办公室到北7楼比我远，等我到的时候，他已经在那儿了。” 贾春敏说，“平时他老跟不上我们，但他拼的时候，我们跟不上他。”
“有他在，医护人员、患者、家属心里都有底。”文丹宁说。

====刘雅琴 Liu Yaqin====

33天和30分钟：“没说太多话，都很疲惫，只是离开时叮嘱了下：保重。”
慢和快，在张定宇身上，在疫情发生后，组成奇妙的复合体。
清早6点钟起床、次日凌晨1点左右睡觉，不知不觉成了常态。好几个夜晚，张定宇凌晨2点刚躺下，4点就被手机叫醒。
情和痛，也不知从什么地方会来个突然袭击。
金银潭医院收治首批患者22天后，张定宇得到消息：在武汉另一家医院工作的妻子，在工作中被感染新型冠状病毒，住进相隔十多公里的另一家医院。
妻子入院三天后，晚上11点多，张定宇赶紧跑去探望，却只待了不到半小时。“没说太多话，都很疲惫，只是离开时叮嘱了下：保重。”采访时，张定宇不愿多回忆那宝贵的30 分钟。
“实在是没时间。我很内疚，我也许是个好医生，但不是个好丈夫。”眼前这位五大三粗，和普通人眼中医生形象很不匹配的硬汉，眼圈忽然红了。“我们结婚28年了，刚开始两天她状态不好，我就怕她扛不过去。”

====刘雨晴 Liu Yuqing====

不能完全停下来，也不能时时刻刻在动。张定宇的渐冻病需要比别人更好掌握这个度。
几乎没时间去看患病的妻子，却又搁不下、放不了挂念，没法想象张定宇心里怎么过的这道坎。
一个多月，夜以继日，张定宇病了。躺在床上输液时，手里仍拿着各种材料数据了解患者情况、重症人数、救治进展，布置各项工作……刚刚好一点，只要可能，张定宇都会再穿上被称为“猴服”的防护服，从患者通道走到隔离病房，走到重症室查房。
“穿着防护服，走路都能听到呼吸、心跳，出来前心后背都湿透了。”张定宇的感受，是疫情笼罩下，医护人员最真实的感受。
好在，坎过去了。妻子在入院十天后的1月29日下午，痊愈出院。这个消息让已经了解张定宇，知道了这样一位战“疫” 勇士事迹的人们，都松了一口气。
急切的记者电话核实这个压抑中难得的好消息时，已经是晚上11点了。开车回家路上的张定宇说了一句话：“对，两次核酸检测呈阴性。”
张定宇的“三重身份”：“无论哪个身份，在这非常时期、危急时刻，都没理由退半步，必须坚决顶上去！”
共产党员、院长、医生，是张定宇的三重身份。
“无论哪个身份，在这非常时期、危急时刻，都没理由退半步，必须坚决顶上去！”张定宇说。
You can't stop completely, nor can you move all the time. Zhang Dingyu's acromegaly requires a better grasp of this than others.
It is impossible to imagine how Zhang Dingyu's heart can survive this hurdle when he barely has time to see his sick wife, but cannot put aside or let go of his worries.
For more than a month, night and day, Zhang Dingyu became ill. While lying in bed receiving an infusion, he was still holding various materials and data to understand the situation of the patients, the number of serious cases, the progress of treatment, and to set up various tasks. ...... Whenever possible, Zhang Dingyu would put on his protective suit, known as the "monkey suit", and walk from the patient corridor to the isolation ward and to the intensive care unit. The first time I saw him, I was in the hospital.
"In the suit, I could hear my breathing and heartbeat when I walked, and the back of my heart was soaked through before I came out." Zhang Dingyu's feelings are the most realistic of the health care workers in the grip of the epidemic.
The good news is that the hurdle has passed. Ten days after his wife was admitted to hospital, on the afternoon of 29 January, she was discharged. The news was a relief to those who already knew about Zhang Dingyu and the story of such a warrior in the battle against the epidemic.
It was already 11pm when an eager reporter called to verify this rare and depressing news. On the drive home, Zhang Dingyu said, "Yes, the two nucleic acid tests were negative.
Zhang Dingyu's "triple identity": "No matter which identity, there is no reason to take a half-step back at this extraordinary and critical time, we must resolutely go up!
The triple identity of Zhang Dingyu is that of a Communist Party member, a director and a doctor.
"No matter which identity he has, there is no reason to take a half-step back in these extraordinary and critical times. Zhang Dingyu said.

战疫魔，金银潭医院动起来了，武汉动起来了，全中国动起来了。战事还远未结束，还会有惨烈，有悲壮，甚至牺牲。

The plague whisperer, Jinyintan Hospital has moved, Wuhan has moved, and the whole of China has moved. The war is far from over, there will be miserable, tragic and even sacrifice.

“健康所系，性命相托”。对张定宇们，这是践行的誓言！对无数民众，这是力量所在，希望所在。

"Tie with health, entrust by life." For Zhang Dingyu and other doctors, this is the oath to practice! For millions of people, this is where strength lies and hope lies.

动如风火的张定宇也有个希望，在自己能动的时候，跑赢这次与新型冠状病毒的赛跑。

Zhang Dingyu, who moves like wind and fire, also has a hope that he will win the race against the COVID-19 when he is active.

“我会慢慢失去知觉，将来会真的跟冻住了一样。”张定宇下意识地摸了摸腿，“慢慢我会缩成小小一团，固定在轮椅上。每个渐冻患者，都是看着自己一点点消逝的……”

"I'll lose consciousness slowly, and I'll be really frozen in the future." Zhang Dingyu subconsciously touched his leg. "Slowly I will shrink into a small ball and stay in a wheelchair." Every patient who has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is watching himself disappear little by little..."

“生命留给我的时间不多了。必须跑得更快，才能跑赢时间，把重要的事情做完。”

"I don't have much time left. So I have to run faster to beat the time and get the important things done."

老搭档眼中的张定宇
“好搭档好同事，好兄弟好战友。作风硬朗，遇到问题从来不退缩。”这是金银潭医院党委书记王先广对张定宇的评价。王先广和张定宇搭班子，两人再熟悉不过。他也比医院任何人都早一些知道张定宇渐冻症的病情。
王先广和张定宇都是医生，比常人更加了解渐冻症的后果和危险性。王先广说，其实张定宇这个病，是需要好好回家洗个热水澡的，既不能完全停下来，也不能时时刻刻在动。他需要掌握这个度，但是他又不能掌握这个度，因为工作在不断推着他动，最初30多天，张定宇有好几个通宵只是在办公室沙发上打了个盹。
尽管张定宇用了一些治疗方法，但仍然没有明显向好的方向转化的迹象。王先广心里也很难受,渐冻症患者肌肉萎缩以后，力量就会受限制，有一次下楼的时候，张定宇差一点摔倒下去，因为腿没有支撑能力。张定宇私下多次跟他说，两个人在一起的时候让王先广扶一下他。

Eyed as an excellent partner, nice colleague, intimate brother and reliable comrade by the old partner, resolutely Zhang Dingyu keeps moving on when encountering problems. This is what Wang Xianguang, secretary of the Party committee of Jinyintan Hospital, said about Zhang. Owing to common shifts, Wang and Zhang are familiar with each other. Wang also knows how Zhang 's progressive frostbite is like earlier than anyone in the hospital. Wang and Zhang, both doctors, are much clear about the consequences and risks of progressive frostbite than ordinary people. In fact, Zhang's illness needs to go home and take a warm bath, said Wang. It can neither stop completely nor be active all the time. The degree needs to be under control but he can't, because his work keeps pushing him. In the first 30 days, Zhang just took a nap on the office sofa several nights. Although Zhang has used some treatment methods, there is still no obvious sign of improvement. Wang was also very upset. After the muscle atrophy of the patients with progressive frostbite, their strength would be limited. Once, when he went downstairs, Zhang almost fell down because his legs could not support him. Zhang told him many times in private that Wang would help him when they were together.

====覃诗雅 Qin Shiya====

疫情发生以来，来金银潭医院指导交流的专家越来越多，原本就很疲乏的张定宇，脚步跟不上，只好叫班子其他领导送。
“不是因为他自己受不了，而是来了这么多专家，没有接送，对不住大家。大家来支援指导我们，没有按照礼节做到位，所以把原因说明下，更多人也就知道了他渐冻症的情况。”
“没有誓师，没有举旗喊口号，就是一线战地动员，像张定宇这样的党员自觉往前线走，带动其他医院员工动起来。” 在王先广眼里，张定宇真的是面对生死而不变色，“有险情他一定第一个冲上去”。
很多人都说张定宇是个“急脾气”，对此王先广非常理解，作为院长，张定宇做事风风火火，敢于担当，冲在前、干在前，这是他的优点。有时候如果拖延一点，甚至会耽误一条生命， “所以他说话做事都不喜欢拖泥带水，不管是我跟他讨论问题，还是其他下属向他汇报工作，他都会让大家直入主题”。
在王先广眼里，张定宇是一头狮子，敢冲敢拼，发起脾气来, 暴跳如雷，但是一头温情的狮子，很细心、很细致、很关心人。

Since the outbreak, more and more experts came to Jinyintan Hospital for guidance and exchange. Zhang Dingyu, who was already very tired, could not keep up and had to ask other leaders of the team to send him.
"It's not because he couldn't stand it, but he felt sorry for all the experts who came without transportation. You guys all came to support and guide us, but we didn't do it according to the etiquette. So I decided to explain the reason, and more people will know about his acromegaly."
"No pledge, no flag， no slogans, as if a front-line battlefield mobilization, all of the party members like Zhang Dingyu consciously to the front line, driving other hospital staff to act." In the eyes of Wang Xianguang, Zhang Dingyu really can not cahnge color when he face the life and death, "when there are dangerous situations he must be the first to rush up".
Many people say Zhang Dingyu is a "impetuous temper", which Wang Xianguang understands very well. As a dean, Zhang Dingyu do things very quick, daring to take charge, rushing ahead, trying in front, that are all his advantages. Sometimes if you delay a little, you would even delay a life, "so he does not like to drag out things, whether I discuss issues with him, or other subordinates to report on the work, he will let everyone straight to the point."
In the eyes of Wang Xianguang, Zhang Dingyu is a lion, daring to fight. Once the temper strikes, he will storm out. But he is still a warm lion, very careful, very meticulous, very caring.

王先广说，作为院长的张定宇要布置全局，要调动力量，有重大险情的时候也会第一个冲上去。他用实际行动践行了对党忠诚、热爱人民的初心和使命！他是这次抗击新冠肺炎疫情中产生的诸多优秀共产党员中的杰出代表。
在张定宇身上，集中体现了无私无畏、担当作为的政治品格和勇毅果敢、雷厉风行的工作作风。作为共产党员，他时刻把人民群众生命安全和身体健康放在第一位，他默默承受着个人身体疾病的巨大痛苦，而用“渐冻的生命”托起了患者生的希望和信心。作为领导干部，他临危不惧、冲锋在前，应对危机镇定自若，是全院干部职工的“主心骨”和抗击疫情的“中流砥柱”。作为医生，凭借多年深厚的职业素养，成就了首战告捷，为全面打赢这场阻击战奠定了坚实基础。用他自己的话说：“我是共产党员、医务工作者，非常时期、危急时刻，必须坚决顶上去。”他是这么说的，也是这么做的，在面对重大疫情的危急时刻，他能够豁得出去，没有丝毫的畏惧和退缩，义无反顾。他是一条硬汉子、一个真英雄。

====仇绪 Qiu Xu ====

王先广说，张定宇的事迹和鲜为人知的病痛被曝光以后，感动了中国，同时更加深深打动了医院所有人。在他强大的精神力量感召下，医院内产生了巨大的冲击波，凝聚起了满满的正能量！
2月1。日，习近平总书记远程连线慰问金银潭医院医务人员代表之后，金银潭医院党委及时组织学习贯彻习近平总书记指示精神，再动员、再鼓劲、再部署。金银潭医院迅速掀起了学习先进典型、营造“比学赶超”浓厚氛围的热潮，全院党员干部职工以张定宇为榜样，在各自岗位上加班加点、奋力拼搏。尽管50多天没有休息，大家任劳任怨，不叫苦不怕累。钏足一股劲，咬咬牙，拼一拼，坚决顶上去。
张定宇就像一面旗帜，在抗击疫情的主战场上高高飘扬。在他的带动下，全院上下充满了决战决胜的责任感、使命感，大家的工作积极性和主动性更强，工作效率更高。
王先广说，抗击疫情的过程中，金银潭医院涌现出来一大批优秀的党员、干部和职工，如副院长黄朝林，科主任陈南山、夏家安，护士长瞿昭辉、吴静，医生涂盛锦、余振兴，护士胡绪娟、樊莉……

Wang Xianguang said that after Zhang Dingyu's story and little-known illness was exposed, it moved China and at the same time touched everyone in the hospital even more deeply. Inspired by his powerful spirit, the hospital has generated a huge shockwave of positive energy!
On February 1, after General Secretary Xi Jinping's remote link condolences to the medical staff representatives of Jinyintan Hospital, the Party Committee of Jinyintan Hospital promptly organised the study and implementation of General Secretary Xi Jinping's instructions, remobilised, re-energised and redeployed. Jinyintan Hospital quickly set off a wave of learning from advanced models and creating a strong atmosphere of "learning from each other and catching up with each other", and all party members and cadres and staff of the hospital followed Zhang Dingyu's example and worked overtime and hard at their respective posts. Although there was no rest for more than 50 days, everyone worked hard and was not afraid of suffering. They gritted their teeth, put up a fight and were determined to go on top.
Zhang Dingyu was like a flag flying high on the main battlefield of the epidemic. Led by him, the whole hospital was filled with a sense of responsibility and mission to win the battle, and everyone was more active and proactive in their work and worked more efficiently.
Wang Xianguang said that in the process of fighting the epidemic, a large number of outstanding party members, cadres and staff emerged from Jinyintan Hospital, such as Vice President Huang Chaolin, department heads Chen Nanshan and Xia Jia'an, head nurses Qu Zhaohui and Wu Jing, doctors Tu Shengjin and Yu Zhenxing, and nurses Hu Xujuan and Fan Li.

一个人的多身份战“疫”历程
武汉市金银潭医院，与病房里面的忙碌相比，院区的过道上显得特别的安静。
在这里，希望与失望交织，生存与死亡较量，人类与疫病决斗。
这两者，金银潭医院副院长黄朝林都是亲历者。
1月19日 ,武汉市卫健委举行新闻发布会，针对武汉市新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎综合防控答记者问。当时，湖北省医疗组专家、武汉市金银潭医院副院长黄朝林作为专家出席，并在发布会上介绍，武汉市不明原因的病毒性肺炎被确定为新型冠状病毒感染所致后，国家相关科研机构迅速研发出病毒核酸检测试剂盒，随后进行技术优化。1月16日,湖北省疾病预防控制中心收到国家下发的试剂盒后，开始对武汉市送检的不明原因的病毒性肺炎患者标本进行病原学检测。
三天后，1月22日 ,黄朝林的新型冠状病毒核酸检测结果显示为阳性，他也确诊被感染了。

====任嫚嫚 Ren Manman====

3月2日，黄朝林历经40天的隔离治疗和康复，回到工作岗位再战新冠肺炎疫情。
一个人的多身份战“疫”历程要从2019年12月27日说起。
2019年12月27日晩，黄朝林和张定宇正在办公室讨论事情，其间他接到一个武汉同济医院打来的电话，请求将一名冠状病毒肺炎患者转至金银潭医院。对方在电话中说，已在病例样本中检测出冠状病毒基因序列。
凭借职业敏感，黄朝林和张定宇，立即拨通了北京地坛医院专家的电话，得到的建议是接收患者，展开调查和研究。后来因患者家属不同意，未能转入金银潭。
2019年12月29日，对黄朝林来说，是一个特殊的日子。
这一天，也是黄朝林个人战“疫”打响的第一天。
On March 2, after 40 days of isolation treatment and rehabilitation, Huang Chaolin returned to work to fight the COVID-19 again. The course of a person's multi identity war "epidemic" would start on December 27, 2019. On the evening of December 27, 2019, Huang Chaolin and Zhang Dingyu were discussing matters in the office. During the discussion, he received a call from Wuhan Tongji Hospital requesting that a patient with coronavirus pneumonia be transferred to Jinyintan Hospital. The other person said on the phone that the coronavirus gene sequence had been detected in the case samples. With occupational sensitivity, Huang Chaolin and Zhang Dingyu immediately called the experts of Beijing Ditan Hospital, and they were advised to receive patients for investigation and research. Later, because the patient's family members did not agree, they were unable to transfer to Jinyintan. December 29, 2019 is a special day for Huang Chaolin. This day is also the first day of Huang Chaolin's personal battle against the epidemic.

====疏珊 Shu Shan====

黄朝林得到通知，让他到湖北省中西医结合医院，对不明原因的肺炎患者进行会诊。一一看完患者后，黄朝林说，这些患者可能有传染性，收治在综合医院存在安全隐患。
黄朝林回忆，当天接到通知后，他和另外一名医院同事戴 ±N95 口罩，穿了件普通工作服，迅速赶往湖北省中西医结合医院，发现这些患者已被安排在呼吸科相对独立的区域进行了隔离。
到医院后，呼吸内科主任张继先向他们介绍了这些患者的收治情况、可疑状况等，并和他们一一查看患者。坐下来充分讨论后，专家们决定，把患者转去金银潭。随后，黄朝林通过电话向张定宇和武汉市卫生健康委做了汇报，调来了负压救护车。
一次传染病患者的转运，对一家传染病医院来说习以为常。始料不及的是，随后的这场战“疫”，却前所未有地艰难。
安排好转运的事，黄朝林和同事又赶紧赶回自己的医院。

Huang Chaolin was informed that he had been sent to the Hubei Integrated Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine to consult with patients with unexplained pneumonia. After seeing the patients one by one, Huang said that these patients might be infectious and that there was a safety risk if they were admitted to a general hospital.
He and another hospital colleague, wearing a ±N95 mask and ordinary work clothes, quickly rushed to the Hospital, where the patients had been isolated in a relatively separate area of the respiratory department.
On arrival at the hospital, Zhang Jixian, Director of the Respiratory Medicine Department, briefed them on the admissions and suspicious conditions of the patients, and examined them one by one. After a thorough discussion, the experts decided to transfer the patients to Jinyintan. Huang Zhaolin then reported to Zhang Dingyu and the Wuhan Health and Wellness Commission by telephone, and a negative pressure ambulance was brought in.
A transfer of a patient with an infectious disease is not unusual for a hospital. What was unexpected was that the subsequent battle against the "epidemic" was more difficult than ever.
After arranging the transfer, Huang Chaolin and his colleagues rushed back to their hospital.

====王芳玲 Wang Fangling====

为防止传染，他们要用最快的速度，把南七楼的患者转移，腾出病房。
因为南七楼是金银潭医院的重症病区，从外院转来的疑难传染患者，会先安排到这里。
医院给参加转运的医护人员全部上了三级防护，每转一个患者，救护车就要彻底消毒一次，再接下一个患者。
患者全部转入后，金银潭医院的专家立刻开始会诊。您住哪里？在哪里上班？最近接触过什么人？接触过什么动物？……他们一边会诊，一边对患者展开了流行病学调查，直到凌晨三四点……
这次转运从傍晚一直持续到深夜。

To prevent infection, they had to move the patients on the south seventh floor and vacate the wards as quickly as possible. The south seventh floor as the intensive care ward of Jinyintan Hospital, patients who are transferred from other hospitals with difficult infections will be arranged here first. All the medical and nursing staffs who participated in the transfer were put on protection suits, masks at highest-level, and every time a patient was transferred, the ambulance had to be thoroughly disinfected before receiving the next patient. After all the patients transferred, specialists from Jinyintan Hospital immediately started the consultation. Where do you live? Where do you work? Who have you been in contact with recently? What animals have you been in contact with? ...... They started an epidemiological investigation of the patients while consulting them until three or four in the morning. ...... The transfer lasted from late afternoon until late at night.

====王纪龙 Wang Jilong====

此后，黄朝林几乎没有休息，没有外出，没有回过家，几乎夜以继日地奋战在抗疫火力最猛的第一线。
随着时间的推移，这类感染者日益增加，金银潭医院开始人满为患。后来，湖北省卫健委从武汉地区抽调了医护人员支援金银潭医院。
清腾病房、添置各种必须的仪器、安置患者、安排前来支援的外院医护人员……医疗上的事，在他的职责范围，他得管；作为专家，本院外院的会诊他要参加，他还以专家的身份出席了两场疫情发布会。对他来说，每天能睡上4个小时就算是很奢侈了……
进展快，是新冠肺炎的一个特点。作为医生，黄朝林参加了一些危重患者的抢救和病例讨论。当时对这个疾病真的是一无所知，病原不知道，感染途径不知道，患者的病情都比较重。直到几天后，才陆续发现有些轻症患者。

====王露 Wang Lu====

连续超负荷工作带来的疲劳和压力让黄朝林的免疫力下降, 每天与之塵战的病毒已不知不觉潜入他的体内，正在等待发作的时机。从1月17日开始，他感到人很不舒服。22日那天，他的核酸检测结果出来，是阳性，他感染了。晚上，他抽空去拍了 CT,双肺已有毛玻璃样病灶。
那天之后，黄朝林再次走进病房时，他的身份已经变成患者, 血氧饱和度不到93%,属于重症。也是同一天，他在参加克力芝试药的临床观察知情同意书上签下自己的名字，以身试药，成为了 “试药人”中的一员，他想要通过自己的治疗，来验证克力芝治疗新冠肺炎的临床疗效和安全性。
服药后，腹泻、呕吐等严重不良反应接踵而来。

Huang Chaolin’s continuous overwork made him exhausted and stressed out, leading to decreased immunity. The coronavirus he fought against every day had crept into his body and was waiting for the right moment to attack. On January 17th, he began to feel unwell. And 5 days later, the result of his Covid test came out. It’s positive which meant he was infected. In the evening, he got a chance to have a CT scan, and it showed that there was ground-glass opacity in his lungs. After that, stepping into the ward, he became the patient in severe condition because his blood oxygen saturation level is less than 93%. At the same day, he signed the informed consent for clinical observation of Corizol test. From then on, he became one of the testers. He wanted to verify the effect and security of Corizol against Covid-19. However, the severe adverse reaction such as diarrhea and emesis kept coming.

====王琪 Wang Qi====

在病房里，黄朝林听其他医生说，此前 ECMO救治的那名患者在坚持了近20天后还是去世了。作为专家，他很清楚，自己的病情可能也会一步步滑向危重，他也担心自己的病情发展到上呼吸机、上 ECM。那一步。病情反复的过程持续了十多天, 2月4日以后病情才出现拐点，肺部影像学逐渐好转，两次核酸检测呈阴性，符合出院标准。
3月2日，黄朝林历经40天的隔离治疗和康复，再回战“疫” 一线上班，再战新冠肺炎疫情。返岗第一天，黄朝林把自己的工作日程安排得满满的，去了很多病区了解情况，参加了一些医疗队交流会。在有的病区，他一边询问入院患者特点、治疗手段、出院情况，一边记录下需要解决的问题。
当前，战“疫”还在持续，黄朝林表示，他会更加小心，做好防护，不到全胜不松懈。

为省10分钟，夫妻俩“以车为家”
2月22日晚9时许，不远处“武汉市金银潭医院”的霓虹灯光，揉进车内昏暗的光束里，映在涂盛锦和曹珊脸上，让这个夜晚显得不是那么冷。
这是这对医护夫妻将要在车上度过的第29个晚上。
和往常一样，涂盛锦在前排副驾斜躺着，翻着书，曹珊在后排半卧着，盯着手机，时不时两人就把头凑一块聊上几句。
今年44岁的涂盛锦是武汉市金银潭医院南六楼重症隔离病区副主任医师，40岁的曹珊是南二楼病区护士。
首批9名“不明肺炎患者”转入金银潭医院后的第二天，涂盛锦就参与到了救治工作中。后来，病区越开越多，曹珊从 1月7日也投入到了这场战“疫”。

To save time, the couple chose to live in a car
At 9:00 p.m. on February 22, the lights of the neon sign reading "Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital" not far away mixed with the dim light in the car and reflected on the faces of Tu Shengjin and Cao Shan, making the night not so cold. This is the 29th night the healthcare couple will spend in the car. As usual, Tu Shengjin was lying reclined in the front passenger seat, flipping through a book, while Cao Shan was half reclining in the back row, staring at the mobile phone, and from time to time the two of them put their heads together to chat. 44-year-old Tu Shengjin is the deputy chief physician of the intensive isolation ward on the sixth floor of South Jinyintan Hospital of Wuhan City, and Cao Shan, 40, is a nurse in the ward of the second floor of the south. The day after the first batch of 9 patients with "unknown pneumonia" were transferred to Jinyintan Hospital, Tu Shengjin participated in the treatment work. Later, more and more wards were opened, and Cao Shan also participated in this "epidemic" battle from January 7.(Wang Yashu)

====王雅姝 Wang Yashu ====

同一栋楼，但两人白天各自忙各自，没时间见面，11岁的儿子完全交给了家中的老人。
“家在武汉南湖边，隔着长江，开车要40分钟。”曹珊说，平时都是涂盛锦开车，一起上下班。
疫情暴发后，医院成为抗疫前线，涂盛锦所在的重症病区上下班没准点。曹珊说，有次两人下班匆匆忙忙回到家，丈夫车都没下，又要赶回医院继续上班，“第二天一早又来家里接我上班，那样他太辛苦。“
1月23日，武汉关闭出城交通，不久市内公共交通停运，全院医护和工作人员不能回家的太多，加上前来支援的医疗队，单位宿舍爆满，酒店房间也吃紧。夫妻俩决定把机会让给其他同事，“在车上睡几次也习惯了”。
正月初一那天开始，这辆陪伴8年的爱车成了他们的第二个家。

Though working in the same building, both the husband and the wife were busy with their own jobs during the day and had no time to see each other. Their 11-year-old son was taken care of by his grandparents at home.
"Our house is located at the South Lake in Wuhan, separated from the hospital by the Yangtze River. It takes 40 minutes to drive," said Cao Shan. The couple usually commutes together with Tu Shengjin driving the car. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the hospital became the front line of the fight against the epidemic, and the intensive care area where Tu worked had no fixed time for work and rest. According to Cao Shan, once when they hurried back home, her husband even didn't get out of the car and immediately drove back to the hospital to continue working.
"The next morning, he came back home to pick me up for work. It was too exhausting for him." On January 23, Wuhan imposed a traffic lockdown and soon public transportation was suspended. Too many doctors, nurses, and staff in the hospital could not go home. And with the medical teams who came to support, the hospital's dormitory could not accommodate more people, and the hotel rooms were also under strain. Therefore, the couple decided to give up the opportunity to other colleagues, "I have got used to sleeping in the car after a few times." From the first day of the first lunar month, this beloved car that has been with them for 8 years has become their second home.

“买车时特意挑了一款后备厢大的，想着以后有机会自驾露营。”曹珊笑了起来。
“我个儿不高，前座也还塞得下。她睡后排，为了方便她伸开腿脚，塞了纸箱把后排空隙填起来，还有爱心人士捐的暖宝宝。”涂盛锦对眼前的“居住环境”还蛮知足。
这些天，医院又协调出一些附近的酒店房间，可两人反而有点舍不得这个“小家”。
“房间是有，但酒店到医院开车都得10多分钟。遇到抢救的，那是按秒算，有这时间就可能把患者从死亡线上拉回来！”涂盛锦还是决定在车上过夜，而且基本不脱外套，就盖个被子，“现在是吃饭、睡觉都要抓紧时间的时候，能省多少时间是多少。”
On the evening of February 22, 2020, in Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, Tu Shengjin (left) and Cao Shan were taking a rest in the car (photographed by Xiong Qi, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency). "When buying a car, we chose a large trunk, thinking that we would have a chance to camp by ourselves in the future." Cao Shan laughed. "I'm not tall, and the front seat can still be stuffed. She sleeps in the back row. In order to make it easier for her to stretch her legs, she fills the space in the back row with cardboard boxes. There are also warm babies(heat patch) donated by good-hearted people." Tu Shengjin is quite satisfied with the "living environment" in front of her. These days, the hospital has coordinated some nearby hotel rooms, but they two are a little reluctant to part with this "small home". "There are rooms, but it takes more than 10 minutes to drive from the hotel to the hospital. In case of rescue, it is calculated by the second, and the patient may be pulled back from the death line at this time!" Tu Shengjin still decided to stay in the car overnight, and did not take off his coat, so he just put on a quilt. "Now it is time to hurry up when eating and sleeping,we need to try our best to save time"

“病房里一个电话，他比谁都跑得快。”曹珊说，知道涂盛锦放心不下患者，她也留下来陪丈夫，“我一个人睡不着，我不在旁边，他也睡不安稳。”
白天4层楼的距离，对涂盛锦和曹珊来说可望而不可即。每天车上说说话，两人已经很满足。
平日里，涂盛锦不怎么爱说话，但在车上这会儿，总喜欢凑着曹珊聊天。
曹珊说，没了生活上的琐事，就聊聊科室里的工作，说着说着就睡着了。
涂盛锦偷偷告诉记者，曹珊一晚上大概要翻身10次左右， “我都数着呢。她一有动静，我都能感觉到，动一下就回头看她一眼，被子有没有掉了，腿有没有放好。”
深夜，武汉的风依旧凛冽。

"As long as a phone call rings in the ward, he runs faster than anyone else." Cao Shan said, Knowing that Tu Shengjin worried about patients, she also stayed with her husband, "I can't sleep alone, he can't sleep well either when I’m not beside him." During the day, Tu Shengjin and Cao shan were separated by the distance of four floors, which is beyond reach for them. They have been very satisfied with talking to each other in the car every day. On ordinary days, Tu Shengjin doesn't like to talk, but he always like to chat with Cao Shan while in the car. Cao shan said, they talk about the work in the department without the trivia of life, and gradually fall asleep while talking. Tu Shengjin secretly told the reporter that Cao Shan would turn over about 10 times a night, "I've counted it. Whenever she moves, I can feel it. If she moves, I will look back at her to see if the quilt has fallen off or if her legs have been put away." Late at night, the wind in Wuhan is still chilly.

“以后回想起来，应该是挺浪漫的一件事吧。”涂盛锦放下手里的书，扭头盯着已相识近20年的曹珊说道。

“Looking back on it, it must have been romantic.” Tu Shengjin put down his book and stared at Cao Shan, whom he has met for nearly 20 years. It was a little crowded in the car, some are little snoring noises, and the rest is about a special kind of company at the time of “pandemic”. It was 6:30 a.m. and the time for the couple to get off the car and start another day of fighting the “pandemic”. [Wuhan, February 23rd, 2020 (Xinhua News Agency, Reporter Hou Wenkun)]

风暴中心的药师们

The pharmacists in the eye of the storm

武汉市金银潭医院内有一支负责为前线输送“弹药”的保障部队——药师们。
为了不能让战士空手与病毒肉搏，药师们放弃所有休假，举全科之力，积极投身到战场中去。

Jinyintan Hospital of Wuhan has a support unit responsible for delivering "ammunition" to the front line -- pharmacists. In order not to leave the soldiers empty-handed while hand-to-hand combating with the virus, the pharmacists gave up all the leave and actively dived into the battlefield with all the strength of the whole department.

疫情就是命令！

Go where there is epidemic, fight it till it perishes.

战“疫”刚刚打响，医院药剂科党支部书记郭晓红就立即召开了支部党员大会，宣布进入战时状态。门诊药房冯金海，中药房韩龙蜂，住院药房闫勇、涂莉、祁玮，药办张志右、章文、段洪，纷纷表态服从科室安排，随时支援工作量大的部门。

As soon as the fight against COVID-19 started, Guo Xiaohong, secretary of the Party branch of the Pharmacy Department of the hospital, immediately held a Party member meeting of the Party branch and announced that it had entered into a “wartime” state. Feng Jinhai of Outpatient Pharmacy, Han Longfeng of Traditional Chinese Pharmacy, Yan Yong, Tu Li, Qi Wei of Inpatient Pharmacy, and Zhang Zhiyou, Zhang Wen, and Duan Hong of the Office of Pharmaceutical Science, all said that they would be subject to the arrangement of the department and support sections with heavy workloads at any time.

战斗一开始，药剂科就少了两名员工，紧接着又因病减员一人。关键时刻，药剂科党支部的党员们，主动申请加入到人员紧张的药库和住院药房，充分发挥党员先锋模范带头作用，奋战在药剂科最前线，保证了药剂科各项工作的顺利开展，给医护一线提供了强有力的药品保障。

At the beginning of the battle, the Pharmacy Department was two members short, and then one less person due to illness. At a critical moment, the Party members of the Party branch of the Pharmacy Department took the initiative to apply to join the understaffed drug storehouse and Inpatient Pharmacy and give full play to the exemplary vanguard role of Party members, fighting at the forefront of the Pharmacy Department to ensure a good start of various tasks in the Pharmacy Department and the full supply of medicines for frontline health workers.

党支部书记郭晓红、住院药房班组长闫勇、药剂科负责人陈靖瞰就是其中代表人物。

Guo Xiaohong, secretary of the Party branch, Yan Yong, team leader of the Inpatient Pharmacy, and Chen Jingkan, head of the Pharmacy Department, were among the representatives.

====吴敏 Wu Min====

郭晓红自战“疫”打响那一刻起，就放弃了所有的休息，即便自己身体不适，仍然一直坚守在药房一线。在这非常时期，她一方面积极协助药剂科各项工作，做好人员调配、药品消毒品领用与发放等工作，另一方面挤出时间安排支部党员的主题党日学习。她说，工作再忙也不能放弃学习，尤其要向身边先进典型学习，学习英雄人物张定宇院长“舍小家顾大家”的无私奉献精神，学习放射科樊艳青主任爱岗敬业、精益求精的专业精神。
同时她又是科室职工的贴心人，工作之余，经常关心职工，嘘寒问暖，每天反复多次叮嘱大家一定要做好个人防护，确保零感染。她常说：“做好个人防护，既是保护自己，也是保护家人！”
1月2 8日，早上7时30分许，郭晓红突然接到电话，马上有一批援助药品到医院，需要接收。她放下电话，立即推上推车赶往医院门诊大楼。一辆堆满了足足有数百件药品的超长大卡车停在门诊大楼前。

====伍晓莉 Wu Xiaoli====

“大家都在各自岗位坚守，没有搬运工人，只能靠我们药师自己上啦！ ”她招呼大家行动起来，用小推车一车接着一车，把所有药品一箱箱运到了药库。
正如她所说，战“疫”非常时期，科室职工都在超负荷工作, 药工人数严重不足，再苦再累的活儿药师都得顶上！ “我身为共产党员，更应该站在前头！”
2月9日凌晨，郭晓红手机再次响起，“嫂子嫂子，父亲走了，怎么办啊！”
远在家乡的小叔子在电话里伤心地哭着说，原来郭晓红的公公于2019年12月底确诊为心梗合并脑梗，一个多月来一直在当地医院住院治疗，但由于武汉疫情严峻，抗疫工作需要，郭晓红没休息过一天，根本无暇回去看望老人，“直到他老人家临走前那一刻，我都不能送他一程，我这当晚辈的真是万分的悲痛和惭愧啊！”郭晓红边说边哽咽着。

"Everyone is sticking to their posts. There are no porters. We have to rely on the medicine man himself!" She called them into action and carried all the medicines to the drugstore by cart after cart. As she said, in the emergency period of the war against the epidemic, the department staff were overloaded with work, and the number of pharmaceutical workers was seriously insufficient. No matter how hard and tiring the work, pharmacists had to take over! "As a Communist, I should stand in the front!" In the early morning of February 9, Guo Xiaohong's mobile phone rang again, "sister-in-law sister-in-law, father left, how to do ah!" Guo Xiaohong's father-in-law was diagnosed with myocardial infarction combined with cerebral infarction at the end of December 2019, and has been hospitalized in the local hospital for more than a month. However, due to the severe epidemic situation in Wuhan and the need of the anti-epidemic work, Guo Xiaohong didn't take a day off and had no time to go back to visit the old man. "Until the moment before he left, I can not even see him off, I am a junior, how sad and ashamed!" Guo Xiaohong choked up as she spoke.

住院药房是药剂科工作量最大的部门，不仅为全院21个病区调剂药品，还要直接送药品到病区。团队共11人，最年轻的药师杨文也有40岁了，都是上有老下有小的年纪。
进入2020年，医院通知取消假日休息，住院药房工作量猛然增加，作为班组长的闫勇，感觉到了用药和班务人员的紧张。临床使用药品品种的增多，必将增加调剂差错风险。他一边关注每天药品的消耗情况，一边调增上班人数。
闫勇幵始每天在工作群发布消息，大家称为闫式“碎碎念”，

金银潭医院药邠坚守在药房

The inpatient pharmacy was the department with the most workload since it not only needed to dispense medicines for totally 21 inpatient areas but had to send them directly there. Totally there are 11 people in the team. The youngest pharmacist Li Wen was already 40 years old, an age that one has both his parents and children to take care of. Entering 2020, the hospital cancelled all the vacations and the workload of the inpatient pharmacy surged. Yan Yong who was the head of the department noticed they were badly in need of medicines and medical workers. With larger varieties of medicines put in use in clinical practice, the risk of wrongly dispensing medicine would also increase. In this case, every day, he, on the one hand, needed to overlook the consumption of the medicines and on the other hand, had to deploy more medical workers to share their workload. Yan Yong started to send messages in the working group every day and his colleagues called it jokingly as “Yan style nagging”.

或是给大家鼓劲，或是提醒大家药品规格、剂型的变动，减少调剂差错。“碎碎念”满怀着对工作人员的关爱，更寄托着一份药剂人员的工作责任。
随着战“疫”形势的日益严峻，各个医疗队的进驻，新开病区的增多，支援的医生、护士纷纷加入临床一线，但是医院药学人员并没有增加，住院药房压力骤增。
连日奋战没有休息的药师们已经很辛苦了，雪上加霜的是1月23日开始武汉市公共交通停运，住在光谷的同事措手不及，面临上下班问题。关键时候，作为共产党员的闫勇顶了上去, 有同事身体不舒服，闫勇帮他上夜班；住在光谷的同事上班遇到困难，闫勇开着私家车起个大早去接。

陈靖圖是药剂科党支部宣传委员，药剂科科室负责人，多重身份和角色决定了他丝毫不敢马虎。自疫情发生以来，他已经三十多天没回过家。
既要协调全院的药品、消毒品采购供应，又要统筹安排科室管理。尽管身体不适，但是他依然坚守岗位，经常加班到深夜, 被大家称为“奔波中的忙人”。
1月13日晚8点多，ICU患者急需尼卡地平针，当晚就要使用，这个时间找医药公司送货完全不可能，陈靖岐紧急联系各大医院，最终跑了两家医院的夜间药房才借来30支，并连夜赶回医院送到ICU。
后来医院又新增了 4个ICU,全国各地医疗队也进驻医院。陈靖蹟更忙了，他白天监控全院用药数据、调整库存，晚上联系第二天到货药品，保证紧俏药品如丙球、阿比多尔、连花清瘟等不断货。
春节期间医药公司运力不足，经常会晚上送货过来，于是，为了更迅速地调配和接收药品物资，陈靖岐索性不回家了。他说, 跟临床一线比起来，这点苦不算什么，只要不断货，不影响患者治疗，一切都是值得的。
Chen Jingtu is a propaganda member of the Party Branch of the Pharmacy Department and the head of the Pharmacy Department. His multiple identities and roles dictate that he does not dare to be sloppy in any way. He has not returned home for more than 30 days since the outbreak. He has to coordinate the procurement and supply of drugs and disinfection products for the whole hospital, as well as to coordinate the management of the department. Despite his ill health, he remained at his post and often worked late into the night, and was known as the "busy man on the run". On January 13 at 8:00 p.m., ICU patients urgently needed nicardipine injections, which were to be used that night, and it was impossible to find a pharmaceutical company to deliver them at this time. Chen Jingmu was even busier, monitoring the hospital's medication data and adjusting the inventory during the day, and contacting the next day's arrival at night to ensure that drugs in short supply, such as Propecia, Abidor, and Lianhua, were kept in stock. During the Chinese New Year, the pharmaceutical company's capacity is insufficient, so they often deliver at night, so in order to allocate and receive drugs and supplies more quickly, Chen Jingqi simply does not go home. He said, "Compared to the clinical frontline, this is nothing, as long as we don't keep the goods and don't affect the patients' treatment, everything is worth it.

这场疫情恰逢年关，医院后勤物业人员紧缺，协助搬运输液送药的工人没有了。药剂科理解医院人员荒的困境，面对每周500件输液以及每天21个病区药品没人送到病房的严峻问题，药剂科紧急动员起来，药库、住院药房、门诊药房、小药房、临床药学所有部门人员紧急行动起来，在陈靖赜的带领下一箱箱装车，一车车拖到病区。
作为科室负责人，陈靖赜没有坐在办公室，而是有困难亲自带领队伍冲上去，体现了共产党员迎难而上的精神。
“张定宇院长说现在是战时状态，在这场艰苦的战’疫’中，药剂科团队没有一人当逃兵。”陈靖赜说。

庚子春疫情中的“120部队”

The epidemic coincided with the New Year's Eve, and the hospital's logistics and property staff were in short supply, so workers to assist in transporting fluids and delivering medications were not available. The pharmacy department understood the plight of the hospital's staff shortage. Faced with the serious problem of 500 infusions per week and no one to deliver medications to the wards in 21 wards every day, the pharmacy department mobilized urgently. The pharmacy, inpatient pharmacy, outpatient pharmacy, small pharmacy, and clinical pharmacy all acted with urgency, loading boxes of drugs onto trucks and hauling them to the wards under the leadership of Chen Jingtan.

The epidemic coincided with Spring Festival holidays so logistics and property staff were in short supply and workers transporting infusions and medications were not available. To alleviate the woe that 500 infusions per week and everyday medications for 21 wards had on one to deliver, each person in the pharmacy department act quickly, assisted by staff in the drugstore house, inpatient and outpatient dispensaries, small pharmacies and clinical pharmacy. They loaded boxes of drugs and hauled them to the wards under the leadership Chen Jingze.

As the head of the department, Chen Jingmu did not stay in the office, but led the team to rush up when there were difficulties, embodying the spirit of the Communist Party members to rise to the occasion.

As the head of the department, Chen Jingze did not stay in the office, but led the team to overcome those difficulties, embodying the unyielding spirit of a Communist.

"President Zhang Dingyu said it is now a wartime state, and in this tough 'epidemic', no one in the pharmacy team is a deserter." Chen Jingqi said.

====向明慧 Xiang Minghui ====

2019年12月29日，金银潭医院门诊120接到指令，要求着三级防护从湖北省中西医结合医院转运一批不明原因肺炎患者至金银潭医院。从那天起，这支“120部队”就正式进入了抗击新冠肺炎的战役中。
突如其来的一场疫情，打乱了所有人的工作和生活。从慌忙应战到忙中有序，从担忧害怕到奋起战“疫”，从孤军作战到团结抗疫，个中滋味，五味杂陈。
疫情期间，医院“120部队”经历了很多很多，有感人的事迹，也有窝心的委屈，更有大是大非面前的坚定和勇敢！在这场没有硝烟的战争中，他们用实际行动证明了，这是一支讲原则、守纪律、能吃苦、能战斗的队伍！

On December 29,2019, the outpatient department of Jinyintan Hospital received instructions to transfer a group of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause from Hubei Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine to Jinyintan Hospital with level 3 (the highest level) protective devices. Sine then, they engaged in the battle against Covid-19.

The sudden outbreak disrupted their life. They managed to overcome obstacles and negative emotions to fight the virus methodically and courageously. Staff from different departments work together. Only those who experienced it knew the mixed feelings.

They went through lots of difficulties. Despite bitterness, they were still determined and brave, leaving touching stories. Over time, they proved with practical action that they are principled, disciplined, tenacious and resilient.

====肖家禹 Xiao Jiayu====

一个好的团队，需要一个好的领头羊，她就是金银潭医院急救站站长李晓松。提起她，包括网络站点的所有人都说她是一个“铁娘子”。
从疫情刚开始到现在，她一天都不休息，特别是在大型转运期间，几乎每天工作到凌晨，有时甚至到凌晨两三点。几乎所有参与转运的急救车辆都能看到她，站在刺骨的寒风中，拿
着对讲机和转诊名单，对接每一位转来的患者。

A good team needs a good leader. The good leader of Jinyintan Hospital is the first aid station master named Li Xiaosong. Everyone, including the people in the online site, called her the "Iron Lady". Since the beginning of the epidemic, she has not taken a day off. Especially during the large referral of patients, she worked almost daily until the early hours, sometimes until two or three o’clock in the morning. Almost all of the emergency vehicles involved in the referral had seen her standing in the biting cold, holding a walkie-talkie and a referral list and docking with each incoming patient.

====肖娜 Xiao Na====

据不完全统计，经她对接的患者有388人次。从安排转运、核对名单、评估病情、患者交接到收治完成，整个过程，她都协调跟踪。
在大型转运时，可以看到这样的场景：120的急救车一路蓝光闪烁，急驰而来，在急诊通道排成一条长龙，等待对接。在交接的过程中，有时会碰到这样或那样的问题，有的车氧气不够了、有的患者需要轮椅、有的车辆需要消毒……碰到这些琐碎又急需解决的问题，120总部都会通知她来协调处理。连续一个多月，天天如此。看到她忙得像个陀螺，又没有外援，同事心疼地说：“你真是狠哪，所有120的转运任务结束了，你才能睡，要学会心疼自己，身体要紧，悠着点。”

According to incomplete statistics, there were 388 patients who had been docked by her. She coordinated the entire process, from arranging transfer, checking lists, assessing the condition, transferring the patients to the completion of admission. In large-scale transport, you could see the following scenario: The 120 ambulances flashed blue light all the way and came at a rapid pace, forming a long queue in the emergency passage, waiting for docking. In the process of handing over, sometimes we encountered problems of one kind or another. Some cars had insufficient oxygen, some patients needed wheelchairs, and some vehicles needed disinfection...When these trivial and urgent problems were met, 120 headquarters would inform her to handle. Every day for over a month. Seeing that she was busy like a top and had no outside help, her colleagues said distressedly: "You are really ruthless. It's not to sleep for you until all 120 transshipment task ended. You should learn how to love yourself and your health is more important."

====肖喆琳 Xiao Zhelin====

李晓松笑着说：“没有办法，事情落到头上来，只能做好，毕竟，天下急救一家亲，最重要的是不能给我们金银潭医院丢脸。”
李晓松性格外向开朗，经常在科室讲笑话，调节紧张的气氛，逗同事开心，还时不时给同事打气鼓劲。她说：“一定要有信心，经历了非典、甲流、禽流感、H7N9,所有的疫情我都参与了，也都挺过来了，相信这次的疫情也会过去的。”她的最大心愿就是希望科室所有的人都平平安安，做到零感染。
零感染不光是一个目标、一句口号，需要真正落实到每一个细节中去。医院120作为一个特殊的科室，不仅有医生护士，还有驾驶员和担架员，只有每个人都按标准流程防护，才能真正达到零感染。作为科室负责人，李晓松重视岗前培训、严格考核和监管。在她的严格要求下，人人熟知工作流程，个个规范穿脱防护。

Li Xiausong smiled and said, "We have no choice but to do it better when we are responible for things.After all, the most important thing for us is that we can not to bring shame on our hospital."
Li Xiaosong's character is outgoing and cheerful.She often tells jokes in the department, adjusts the tense atmosphere, makes his colleagues happy and gives them encouragement from time to time.She said: "We must have confidence, experienced SARS, H1N1, bird flu, H7N9, all the epidemic I have participated in and survived, I believe this epidemic will pass as well."Her greatest wish is to hope that all the people in the department are safe, to achieve zero infection.
Zero infection is not just a goal or a slogan. It needs to be implemented in every detail. As a special unit, the hospital has not only doctors and nurses, but also drivers and stretcher bearers. Only when everyone follows standard procedures can we really reach zero infections. As the head of the department, Li Xiaosong attaches great importance to pre-job training, strict assessment and supervision.Under her strict requirements, everyone knows the procedures, and everyone is dressed and unguarded strictly.

====谢佳玉 Xie Jiayu ====

从1月中旬起，每天的转运量开始急剧上升，考虑到医院目前人员紧张，为了不增加医院的困难，李晓松率先改变排班模式，将急救团队分成三个小组，每天两台负压车满负荷运转，实行弹性排班，所有人24小时处于待命状态！她本人则24小时守在科室，除了日常管理，每天还要操心耗材、对接患者、消毒督导，遇到特殊的任务，还要亲自参与转运。
在一次火神山的转运任务中，120总部让她协助当天的核对转运工作，10台负压车同时出发，从中午1时起，穿上厚厚的防护服，直到晚上9点多才回到医院，全身的衣服都湿透了。
就是这样的一位“铁娘子”，当提起她的母亲时，禁不住泪流满面。李晓松的家人因为工作和学习的原因，都在国外，家里只有她和母亲两人，因为疫情防控工作，她将年近八旬的老人独自留在家中，休息的时候才会打个电话，问候一下。

From the middle of January, daily transport volume began to rise sharply. Considering the hospital was overstaffed, in order not to increase the difficulties of the hospital, Li Xiaosong took the lead in changing the scheduling mode. She divided the first aid team into three groups, with two negative pressure vehicles running at full capacity every day, implementing flexible scheduling, and everyone on standby 24 hours a day! She spent 24 hours in the department. In addition to daily management, she also had to worry about consumables, dock patients, provide supervision and guidance for disinfection, and personally participate in transport when encountering special tasks. During a transport mission in Huoshenshan, the 120 headquarter asked her to assist in the check and transport work that day. Ten negative pressure vehicles set off at the same time. She wore a thick protective suit from 1 p.m., and did not return to the hospital until after 9 p.m. Her clothes were drenched with sweat. Such an “iron lady”, when talking about her mother, could not help bursting into tears. Li Xiaosong’s family were abroad due to work and study, and she and her mother were the only two people at home. Due to the epidemic prevention and control work, she left the elderly women in her late 70s alone at home, and only called her when she had a rest.

<nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki>====谢茜敏 Xie Ximin ====

当问到她选择这个职业后不后悔时，她毫不犹豫地说，不后悔！她相信所有的付出都是值得的，为了自己的祖国，为了自己的家乡，必须坚守岗位，无私奉献。
在120工作，是没有生活规律可循的，能睡觉时赶快睡，能吃饭时赶快吃，因为你永远不知道完成任务后，会不会马上还有下一单。更多的时候，中午出发，也许到晚上才能回。一单接一单的急救任务，数量有限的防护装备，决定了 “随遇而安、随时待命”是李晓松和同事唯一能选择的工作方式。有一次，来了一单任务，将一位疑似感染的患者从家里送到指定的隔离酒店。当李晓松的同事到达呼救地点时，患者始终联系不上，经多方打听，终于联系上远在外地的子女，才将患者送到隔离酒店。

When asked if she regreted choosing this career, she said no without hesitation! She believed that all the efforts were worth it. For her own motherland and hometown, she must stick to the post with selfless dedication. There was no daily routine when working in 120. You must sleep and eat as soon as you could, because you never knew if there would be another order after you just finished one task. More often, they left at noon and might not return until evening. With a series of first-aid tasks and a finite amount of protective equipment, the only working mode Li Xiaosong and his colleagues could choose was to "make the best of things and be always ready". Once came a mission transferring a patient with suspected infection from his or her home to the designated quarantine hotel. When Li Xiaosong's colleagues arrived at the rescue site, the patient could not be reached. After making inquiries, they finally contacted the patient's children far away from home, and sent the patient to the quarantine hotel.

====谢州周 Xie Zhouzhou====

然而，此时隔离酒店并不接受这位患者，称其不具备收治无法自理老人的条件，李晓松和同事只能带着老人一家医院一家医院地跑，又被一家又一家的医院拒绝，经过三个小时的努力，仍然无能为力，只能将患者又送回家中。
故事很平淡，但是对于患者和家属，对于120的医生护士而言，却深深感到发自内心的无助和无奈，其间拨打的所有电话要么没有人接，要么就是不了了之，中间的几个小时，对于他们都是煎熬和折磨。
这是金银潭医院“120部队”无数次急救任务中的一个缩影。当战“疫”来临时，他们冲在最前线，他们是真正第一批次接触新冠肺炎的一线医务人员。
However, at this time, the isolation hotel did not accept the patient, saying that he did not have the conditions to treat the elderly who could not take care of themselves. Li Xiaosong and his colleagues had to take the elderly to one hospital after another, but they were refused by one hospital after another. After three hours of effort, they were still powerless and had to send the patient home again.
The story is very simple, but for the patients and their families, as well as for the doctors and nurses in the emergency team, they deeply felt helpless and helpless from the bottom of their hearts. All the calls they made in the meantime were either not answered, or they just did nothing. The middle hours were painful and torturing for them.
This is a microcosm of the countless first aid tasks of the first aid team of Jinyintan Hospital. When the pandemic came, they rushed to the forefront, and they were the first batch of first-line medical staff who really contacted COVID-19.

====谢紫佳 Xie Zijia====

战“疫”开始的阶段，所有的医护人员都有着相同的剧本：身在疫区的自己，就是一颗定时炸弹。于是选择远离亲朋好友，一个人上下班，一个人生活，备好食品药品，做持久战的准备。每每接到家人关心的电话，嘱咐一定要注意安全；总是听到又有哪位同事不幸被感染，又有多少患者不幸去世……
但是白衣战士的责任和担当，又让他们选择继续穿上防护服，毅然出征。
郭威波是金银潭“120部队”的一名急救驾驶员，平时大家都喜欢亲切地叫他“鸽子”。他是一位名副其实的大帅哥，身材魁梧、相貌英俊、心思细腻。每当他出车回来，都会认真做笔记，走的哪条线路、距离多远、用时多少，堪称“120 活地图”。
郭威波本来是准备今年春节完婚的，一直计划着元旦休息

====熊丹 Xiong Dan====

时将准备工作做完，谁料到疫情突然暴发，他只得将家里的大小事物都拜托给未婚妻，将婚期一拖再拖。
在“120部队”中，还有这样一个特殊的不可或缺的群体最容易被忽视。他们来自农村，没有耀眼的学历，没有傲人的医术，不会说什么豪言壮语，却有一颗纯朴、善良、负责的心，在这个特殊的时期，不畏疫情,与医护人员一起守护人民的健康, 他们就是担架师傅。
在防护用品短缺的情况下，他们主动把N95 口罩和厚一点的防护服让给医生护士，他们说：“我们是农村人，身体好。你们医生护士是有文化的人，有本领，能救更多的人，千万不能得病。”
这些朴实的话语让人忍不住流下了眼泪。
He would be ready to finish work.Who knows the sudden outbreak of the pandemic. He had to give the chores to his fiancee,and the wedding was delayed again and again.
There is one particular indispensable group in the 120-Force that is most easily overlooked. They come from the countryside, no dazzling education, no proud medical skills, do not speak bold words, but have a simple, kind, responsible heart.In this special period, they don’t afraid of the pandemic, together with the medical staff to protect people's health. They are stretcher masters.
In the face of a shortage of protective equipment, they volunteered to give N95 masks and thicker protective suits to doctors and nurses, saying, "We are rural people and in good health. You doctors and nurses are educated and capable people who can save more people. You must not get sick."
Those simple words brought tears to one's eyes.

====徐思禹 Xu Siyu====

疫情肆虐时，很多人选择了逃离，而更多担架工师傅却选择留下来。其中最年轻的黄启胜，在封城前利用休息时间回了家。封城后，由于道路不通，无法按时到岗，他非常着急，担心因为个人原因影响医院的工作。后来经过多方协调，终于回到了工作岗位。他们是无数个奉献者中的一员，同样是这个时代最可爱的人。
如果说临床科室医生和护士是战斗在一线的勇士，那么这支“120部队”急救人员就是战斗在疫情最前沿的尖兵！
医院南二病区的他们
生命重于泰山，疫情就是命令，防控就是责任！
When the epidemic was raging, many people chose to flee, while more stretcher bearers chose to stay. The youngest of them, Huang Qisheng, used his break to return home before the city lockdown. After the closure, he was very anxious because he could not arrive at work on time due to the closed roads, and was worried that his personal reasons would affect the work of the hospital. Later, after coordination, he finally returned to work. They are one of the countless dedicated people who are also the most lovely people of this era. If the doctors and nurses in the clinical departments are the warriors fighting on the front line, then the "120 units" of emergency personnel are the frontline soldiers fighting in the pandemic! Their lives are more important than the mountains, the pandemic is an order, and prevention and control is a responsibility!

====颜琦 Yan Qi ====

在这场疫情阻击战中，武汉市金银潭医院南二病区全体医护人员在主任谢学磊的带领下，持续冲锋在一线，夜以继日地开展救治工作，他们竭尽所能、争分夺秒，如今已连轴战斗了50多个日日夜夜。

In the battle against the virus, all the health workers in the South Second Ward of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, guided by Xie Xuelei, the hospital director, continued to work in the front line and struggled to cure patients around the clock. They did their best and wasted no time. It has been over 50 days and 50 nights since they worked almost without a break.

最“铁心”的妈妈——李坤霞

The Most "Hard-Headed" Mother: Li Kunxia

“我刚才跟妈打电话了，女儿很懂事，很听话，你只管安心地工作，自己也要做好防护啊！家里，你就不要牵挂了，有我呢！”李坤霞接到丈夫的电话，眼里闪着泪花。

"I just talked to your mom on the phone. Our girl is very sensible and obedient. you only need to focus on your job and protect yourself! Don't worry about us at home, I'm here!" Li Kunxia answers the phone from her husband, eyes flashing with tears.

为做好安全隔离，更为了家人健康考虑，她执意一个人住宾馆，一岁多的女儿只能交给老人照顾。

In order to safely isolated humans and consider the health of her family, she insisted on living alone in a hotel, and her daughter who is more than one year old was sent to her parents for good care.

她心里虽有千言万语，但深知使命崇高、责无旁贷，每次只能与家人几句简短的问候，便匆忙挂掉电话，收起眼泪直奔病房。

Although she had many words to say, she knew her moral obligations and duties as a medic. Every time she could only tell a few brief greetings to her family before she hung up the phone hurriedly, wiped away her tears and ran to the wards.

最“倔强”的大姐——王芳

The Most "Stubborn" Big Sister: Wang Fang

====杨思吟 Yang Siyin====

王芳是一个有着丰富救治经验的“老前辈”，也是个热心肠的大姐，对科室的年轻医生非常照顾，并经常将自己宝贵的工作经验与大家分享。
随着疫情形势的日益严峻，接诊量大幅增多，她顾不上正处在初三学习冲刺阶段的儿子，自疫情开始，一直穿着密闭的防护服连续奋战，在隔离区不敢喝水，不能上厕所，浑身闷透。
每当同事忍不住说起：“王大姐，您休息一会儿，让我去吧”，“倔强”的她总是回复：“我还行。”
最“拼命”的伙伴一黄晴

Wang Fang is a senior medical worker with wealthy treatment experience. Also being kind-hearted, she is considerable to young doctors in her department and often shares her invaluable working experience with them. As the pandemic grew serious, with the surging number of patients, she could not take care of her son who are striving to study hard in the final year of middle school. Since the outbreak of pandemic, she had worked for several days running wearing airtight protective clothing. In the isolation zone, she was afraid of drinking water and could not go to toilet, stuffy and sweaty. Every time her colleagues couldn’t help saying that, “ you should take a break. I can do this work.” She always replied stubbornly, “ I am OK.” The most hard working partner— Huang Qing

====杨晰微 Yang Xiwei====

疫情发生以来，连续在一线奋战40多天的高强度工作，让黄晴医生的身体开始吃不消了，身体不适的她本应少走动多休息，但刚打完吊瓶的她，就第一时间主动请缨，强烈要求继续参与战斗，看着她虚弱的身体，大家纷纷劝她注意休息。
“你们都在火线竭尽所能，我这点小病算不了什么，关键时候绝不能’掉链子’，不用担心，我还可以！”她坚定的话语让大家既心疼又钦佩。
最“贴心”的暖男一李翼、余振兴

Since the outbreak of pandemic, Doctor Huang Qing has been working in the frontline for over 40 days in a high intensity and she started to wear herself out. Because she was uncomfortable, she should have more rest and walk less. Nevertheless, after taking an IV drip, she just took the initiative the first time, strongly asking to keep on fighting. Looking that she was weak, everyone tried to persuade her to have a rest.

"You all work in the frontline and my minor illness doesn't matter. I can't "drop the chain" at key at a key moment. Don't worry. I can hold on." Her firm words made them feel sorry and admired.

The most "thoughful" warm boys were Li Yi, Yu Zhenxin.

每次丈夫一句“戴好口罩，做好防护”，妻子一句“知道了”，接着就双双奔赴病房。即便爱人也在同一个医院工作，但经常是36到48小时，甚至更长时间见不到一面，这也是医院诸多双职工的日常。
虽然他们顾不上“小家”，但独揽了科室“大家”的后勤，大到防护物资领取，小到分发科室盒饭，在这场日夜不息的战斗中，他们既是火线“急先锋”，又是科室“勤务兵”。
最“心细”的娘家人一一谢学磊
Li Yi and Yu Zhenxing, whose lovers are both employees of the hospital, entrusted their children to the care of their elderly parents in order to win the battle against the epidemic. These two couples worked together and went against the odds hand in hand. Every time the husband said, "Wear a mask and take good care of yourself," and the wife said, "Got it," and then they both ran to the ward. Even though they work in the same hospital, they often do not see each other for 36 to 48 hours, or even longer, which is the daily routine of many double workers in the hospital. Although they can't take care of the "small family", they take charge of the logistics of the "big family" of the department, from the collection of protective materials to the distribution of departmental box lunches. In this day and night battle, they are not only the "pioneers" of the fire line, but also the "orderly soldiers" of the department. The most "attentive" mother's family one by one Xie Xuelei

谢学磊是南二病区的主任，面对焦虑的患者,她都亲力亲为，一声声问诊，一遍遍安慰，一句句嘱咐，即使自己再苦再累都藏在心底。
在隔离病区，医生和护士要直接、密切地接触患者，感染风险高、心理压力大，穿戴层层防护装备后，闷热、憋气，时间长了会有缺氧的感觉，每次她都会在第一时间为大家进行心理疏导。
“有谢主任无微不至的关怀，即便疫情再凶猛，工作再辛苦我们也不怕，因为谢主任就是我们坚强的后盾。”谢学磊的存在，让科室同事感到踏实。
在这次新型冠状病毒疫情面前，他们没有豪言壮语，也没有耀眼的光环，只是默默努力，坚守自己的岗位。疫情面前，他们就是战士，疫情就是命令，岗位就是战场，他们不惧风险、严阵以待，用实际行动恪守初心、践行使命。

后勤，一群不回家的人
在疫情风暴眼中心的武汉市金银潭医院，有这样一群以科室为家的人。白天，办公室是他们的调度指挥室。晚上，就在办公室搭起简易行军床，24小时在医院值守，真正做到了 “闻令即行”，成为春节中“不回家的人”。
他们，就是医院后勤保障战线的干部职工。
路灯下的身影

====张珂珂 Zhang Keke====

医院总务科的工作历来琐碎杂乱，特别是在应对新型冠状病毒疫情这个非常时期，头绪多，任务重，承担着为前方队友送炮弹、做好全方位保障的艰巨任务。
医院总务科科长黄高平把“增强四个意识、坚定四个自信、做到两个维护”转化在实实在在的行动中。他克服自己年龄偏大、家庭负担较重的困难，全心全意投入到医院总务科的各项工作中来。黄高平每天坚持巡查水、电、气管线多次，尤其是晚上，总是能看到路灯下他拿着手持电话机在医院每个点位巡查的咼大身影。
由于医院收治的重症患者偏多，在医护人员救治过程中难免会突发一些意外事件。一次，在ICU病区的抢救中，患者喷出来的血痰导致医疗设备短路，黄高平带领维修组的同志第一时间赶赴现场抢修，及时保障了设备的正常运行。

====张祺葳 Zhang Qiwei====

由于没有家属陪护，医院有些患者生活无法自理，会出现将污物随意丢弃，堵塞下水管的情况。维修组的同志们毫无怨言，尽早疏通，还主动排查保证各个下水管道的畅通。
除了保证医院的水电气、电梯以及污水处理站的正常运行外，他们无论白天、黑夜接到电话都会以最短的时间赶到现场，处理各种应急事件，院内的路灯下留下了他们长长的身影。
据统计，在40多天的时间里，总务科共安装了 200多台挂壁式消毒机、近600盏紫外线灯，铺设病区电线近千米，维修全院路灯60多盏、病区感应水龙头几百个，更换300来套隔离病区的锁扣，疏通病区内的厕所下水道及洗脸盆下水道 40处。
他们还配合企业5天内完成了医院液氧站的建设改造，由原来2个5立方氧罐改为2个10立方氧罐，落实了病区不间断高流量供氧的需求。
匆匆的脚步

====张思诗 Zhang Sishi====

“15分钟后有12名病患到门诊CT室做检查，各自到位做好道路管制，快点！快点！”在医院院区总能看到一位一边快速奔走一边用对讲机呼叫的高大身影，他就是金银潭医院保卫科科长周德义，一位近20年党龄的老党员。面对疫情，他没有恐惧，没有退缩，不分昼夜地奋战在自己的岗位上。
保卫科虽然不在救治病患的最前线，但在这次防控工作中保卫工作显得尤其重要。每栋病房楼下面都要安排人员24小时值守，不让患者和家属随意进出病区,还要负责转运病区的患者, 运送各病区所需的医疗和生活物资，安排去医技科室检查的道路清场等。

====张婷 Zhang Ting====

疫情发生正是春节期间，而且金银潭医院收治的都是确诊的新冠肺炎患者，很多物业人员因为害怕被感染都回家了，在急缺人手的情况下，周德义经请示批准后调动了一切可以调配的人员组建了临时班组，毫无怨言地接下了繁重的工作。
年近花甲的他奔赴在医院的每一个角落，时值冬季，汗水常常浸透了他的衣衫。
保卫科的职工吴昌顺，是2019年入党的新党员，平日里是位活泼可爱的阳光大男孩。疫情期间，他除了完成医院的安保工作，还承担了为病区走廊上的加床患者送瓶装氧气的工作，随着医院救治任务加重，走廊上的加床患者越来越多，这些患者没有中心供氧设施，主要靠瓶装氧气供应，他和同事们接到任务后都以最快的速度把氧气瓶送到病区。

====张文琦 Zhang Wenqi ====

医院防护物资紧缺，为了保障一线医护人员的供应，他和同事们只能穿着爱心人士捐赠的没有达到应有防护级别的隔离服进病区，“我们送到后就及时出来，隔离服要留给医生护士，他们在里面待得久，不能没有保障。”吴昌顺的话语非常朴实。
他们也是战士，虽然默默无闻，却一样冒着生命危险守卫着这片土地上的人民。
寒冬中的汗水
金银潭医院在新冠肺炎疫情中备受关注，得到了全国人民的支援与关爱。社会企业和公众发挥大爱无疆的公益精神，踊跃捐献各类物资到医院。

Due to the shortage of protective materials in the hospital, he and his colleagues could only wear isolation suits caring people donated which did not meet the due protection level, so as to guarantee the supply of front-line medical staff. “We came out as soon as materials were sent to them. Isolation suits should be left to medical staff, because they cannot stay inside for a long time without security,” said Wu Changshun sincerely.
They were fighters, too. Although unknown, they risked their lives to protect the people of this land.
Sweat in the Severe Winter
Jinyintan Hospital has drawn much attention in the COVID-19 pandemic and has received support and care from the people of the whole country. Social enterprises and the public gave full play to the public spirit of boundless love through active donations of various materials to hospitals.

====周晓兰 Zhou Xiaolan====

把捐献的物资保管好、分配好、使用好，是保证一线医护人员顺利生活、工作的基础。金银潭医院后勤保障战线的同志除了完成本职工作外还义无反顾地承担起接收与分配捐献物资的重任。社会各界捐献的物资千差万别，有生活用品，有医疗用品；有鲜活型的，有长期型的；有对口指定支援的，有特殊用途的。他们秉持一颗公心，事事突出"精准"特点，讲规矩，听指挥。
接收捐献物资医疗器材、食品、各种生活用品全部都登记入账，保存安全并分发及时，做到了 “账目清晰、公开廉政、使用合理、保障有力”。
2月15日的晚上10点多钟，忙碌了一天的医院逐渐地放慢了节奏。此时，医院突然接到一批消毒用品的捐献，车辆即将到达医院。
夜晚寒冷，白天的疲劳还未消退，但一想到明天医护人员还要冲锋上前，全院需要消杀保障，爱心人士正在路上奔波，医院后勤的员工临时组建突击小分队，第一时间集结，由食堂的班组
长袁勇带队，8个人10分钟内到齐，开辟通道，整理仓库。

The basis for the smooth life and work of front-line medical staff is the careful reservation, equal distribution and sufficient use of donated materials. These donations from all walks of life can be divided into different types, including daily necessities and medical supplies; some for instant use, some for long-term use; some for designated support and some for a specific purpose. The receiving and distribution of them is undertaken by comrades from Jinyintan Hospital logistics support front, who also do their regular work well. Taking an orientated approach and following the instructions, these comrades all work for the public. Under the principle of clear accounts, open and clean work, reasonable use and full guarantee, medical equipment, food and all kinds of daily necessities are registered, kept safely and distributed in a timely manner. After 10 o ’clock in the evening on February 15, the staff gradually slowed down after a busy day. At that time, they were informed that a batch of disinfection supplies are about to arrive at the hospital. Though cold and tired, they were assembled immediately to ensure that tomorrow’s work is smooth and to support the work of the caring people. Led by Yuan Yong, the team leader of the canteen, eight people arrived within 10 minutes to open the channel and sort out the warehouse.

====周子豪 Zhou Zihao ====

车辆一到达医院，即开始紧张的清点、交接与卸载工作。每个人平均搬运40多件包装品，仅用了 50分钟便全部整理入库。前来捐献的爱心人士敬佩地说：“我跑了那么多的单位，金银潭医院的同志们最是认真负责，物品捐赠给你们，我们放心！”
当爱心人士的车辆离开后，8个人才发现，虽然是在寒冷的冬夜，但每个人脸上都挂满了汗珠。
在这场战“疫”中，金银潭医院后勤保障战线的这个群体，主动请缨，并肩作战。医院的每一个角落都是他们的战场，守护好身边的“白衣战士”、守护好身处的这座城，是他们唯一的心愿。
The nervous work of counting, transferring and unloading started right after the cars have arrived. Everyone took averagely more than 40 packages and it took only 50 minutes to put them all in storage. "Among all the places I hav ever been, people here are the most meticulous ones. It did reassure me to rely on you." people who came to donate said respectfully. It was after the cars had left they noticed the sweat on their faces in such a cold weather. During the battle against the pandemic, the logistical department of Jinyintan Hospital took its responsibilities to fight hand in hand. Their batteground covered every corner of the hospital. It was the only wish that they safeguard their warriors in white and the city behind.

“暴风之眼”中的医院GCP
2019年12月30日，武汉市金银潭医院GCP （药物临床试验机构）及项目组成员在I期临床试验研究室召开了 2个BE项目的启动会，兼任项目PI的张定宇院长在会议总结时重点强调： “当前流感盛行，大家一定要注意保暖，避免感冒。”
当时，GCP的同事并未觉察到院长的深意。几天后，他们才知道，就在启动会的前一天晚上（12月29日），医院收治了几名不明原因肺炎患者。
也就是从这天起，金银潭医院，特别是呼吸道感染科，在超前谋划的张定宇带领下，积极投身于这场没有硝烟的战“疫”。
加快试验入组，机构、伦理齐迈步

====Wellsand, Benjamin====

2020年新年伊始，随着医院收治的类似患者日渐增加，且临床未找到有效药物治疗的情形下，帮助临床寻找特效药物成了当务之急。
他们通过文献检索、同类机构指导发现：洛匹那韦/利托那韦和干扰素-a2b, Remdesivir,对新型冠状病毒单/多克隆抗体可能有效，需紧急开展临床试验以验证这些药物对治疗新冠肺炎的有效性。接下来的每天，他们与时间赛跑，在确保符合药物临床试验规范的基础上，与中日友好医院、北京协和医院、北京朝阳医院、中国科学院武汉病毒所等多家研究单位展开通力合作，GCP机构办公室统筹协调，机构人员分工协作，自2020年1月6日起，开始了寻找治疗新冠肺炎有效治疗药物的临床研究攻关。
2020年1月9日，首个新冠肺炎项目“克力芝”进行伦理上会审批,经过几例预试验后，1月17号正式入组。截至2月2日，该项目入组新冠肺炎患者202例，入组速度相较于平时提升了 80%0

At the beginning of 2020, as the number of similar patients admitted to the hospital was increasing day by day, and no effective drug treatment had been found clinically, helping the clinic find specific drugs had become a top priority.
Through research and guidance from similar institutions, they found that lopinavir/ritonavir and interferon-a2b, Remdesivir, may be effective against new coronavirus monoclonal/polyclonal antibodies. In addition, urgent clinical trials are needed to verify the effectiveness of these drugs for treatment of COVID-19. In the following days, they raced against time. On the basis of ensuring compliance with drug clinical trial specifications, they cooperated with China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and other research units. GCP Institutional Office is coordinating overall, and the personnel of the institution work together in the division of labor. Since January 6, 2020, the clinical research to find effective drugs for the treatment of new coronary pneumonia has begun. On January 9, 2020, the first COVID-19 project, Kalitra, was approved by the ethics committee. After several pre-tests, it was formally subscribed on January 17th. As of February 2nd, the project has admitted 202 patients with new coronary pneumonia, and enrollment is 80% above the normal rate.

2020年1月24日，国家科技部下达应急攻关专项，金银潭医院作为牵头单位承担“重症患者救治及诊疗方案优化项目”。

金银潭医院GCP机构员工正在硏讨

金银潭医院GCP机构参加武汉市传染病医院医学伦理委员会2020年度第一次伦理审查会议。

当日，金银潭医院内紧急召开“重症患者救治及诊疗方案优化项目临床科技攻关小组成立暨项目启动会”。1月29日，科技部应急攻关项目工作会暨项目启动会召开，并快速确定第一批的8个项目，以尽快确定临床治疗方案。

2020年2月5日下午，深受人们期望的“Remdesivir” 瑞德西韦临床研究项目启动会在金银潭医院召开，开启了新一轮的“特效药” ID期临床试验验证过程。
身处防疫一线核心的金银潭，摆在该院临床试验机构面前最大的困难是：如何在避免交叉感染的情况下，既要确保伦理时效性，又要保证项目审查质量。经过多方协调，他们最终通过院外专家远程微信视频+院内专家现场会议的新型形式解读

瑞德西韦临床研究项目启动会在金银潭医院召开

特殊时期应急情况。短短1个多月，他们共召开了4次伦理会议审查，其中新冠肺炎应急攻关项目会议审查14项。快审3项，备案3项。
身兼多职，全员参与保进度
GCP机构在全力配合用于治疗新冠肺炎的临床应急试验的同时，除了认真对待邮箱中每一个新冠肺炎项目咨询和解释相关要求外,在疫情特殊背景下,部分之前由院外人员承担的责任, 也落到了 GCP机构的肩上。
他们需要兼任CRO组织管理项目，查阅文献，审阅、撰写方案，制定项目专属SOP,为项目顺利启动做充足准备。
他们需要去病区，或作为PM统筹协调其他资源保障项目顺利如期展开，或作为质控员保障研究者按规范进行试验，或作为CRA监控试验实施详细过程，或作为CRC协助研究者顺利开展项目……

他们需要筛选符合入组条件的病例。每天从上千份病例中逐一筛选，挑选符合入组条件的病例，有任何遗漏，就可能造成某位患者错失早日接受治疗的机会。
他们需要根据患者知情入组的时间，配合临床，完成受试者随机分配，并跟踪直至给药完成。给药完成的时间，或是白天, 或是黑夜，甚至是凌晨，他们从不说苦，因为这就是责任。
他们需要录入试验原始数据。入组试验重要，但数据分析却更为重要，有效的结果能促进临床的规模使用，无效的结果能及时纠正研究方向，避免资源浪费。
获得试验数据后，他们又立刻将数据录入电脑，争分夺秒。在他们的信念中：只要早一秒录完，就能早一秒进行数据统计分析，药效就能早一秒知晓。

治病救人是医生护士的责任，而尽快获取第一手的试验结果，就是GCP机构的使命。他们精细划分每一项工作，分配好任务，及时跟踪反馈，确保所有工作能尽快有效落地。
快速响应，I期病房在行动
2020年1月，I期临床试验研究室除了照常完成已经启动入组的BE临床试验，还要协助其他病区防控疫情。
为确保受试者健康安全，同时最大限度增加医院床位，武汉市唯一的定点传染病医院的掌舵人、兼任I期临床试验研究室负责人的张定宇再一次做出决定：立刻暂停其他与疫情防控无关的药物I期

临床试验项目入组，已经入组的项目快速结束，腾出I期临床试验用病房，用以收治新冠肺炎患者。
接到指令后，GCP机构办主任龚凤云动员I期病房的所有医生、护士立即行动起来，仅仅用了两天就完成了病房的升级改造，随时待命。1月27日，I期病房开始收治第一例新冠肺炎患者。
舍小“家”为大“家”，把爱传递
GCP机构办公室主任刘颖以院为家，坚守前线统筹协调，咨询和立项的每一个方案都是经由她手，自12月29日起至

金银潭GCP机构同事合影
今未休息一天。每天连轴转，下班时间从未早于晚8点，深夜十一二点下班也是常态，每天只能抽空与未满4岁的女儿视频连线……
GCP机构的质控管理员阮姝楠，1月8号才做了肝脏囊肿手术，出院刚满一周，1月16号就重返工作岗位。伦理、机构的事情都少不了她，有一次，工作劳累之后，阮姝楠上腹部疼痛难忍，只好下午回家休息了半天，但第二天就重返岗位。她说：“我们GCPX作正接受前所未有的挑战，这种时候我不能缺席！ “
同事们心疼她，也只能尽量不让她干体力活。

自疫情防控战在金银潭医院率先打响以来，金银潭医院 GCP机构人员积极响应院号召，取消周末双休，很早就与家人沟通，退了回家的车票，取消与家人团聚的机会，投身于防疫工作。
他们已经连续战斗了 50余天，有时也会互相吐槽：真累啊，好想睡一大觉。但看着确诊病例不断增长，他们心急如焚，这不仅仅是数字，而是一个个如你如我如他的生命，一个个身边的同胞。
每想及此，他们又充满了斗志。他们相信：在全国人民的支援下，湖北、武汉一定能战胜这场疫情；他们相信：经过这场防疫战后的GCP机构，将会为守护人民健康积累丰厚的经验。
医院检验科的坚守

疫情开始的初期，对于病原的性质、毒力、传播等各种信息均不明确，导致很多员工在思想上焦虑，不安全感很严重。医院检验科党支部第一时间召开党员大会，号召全体党员在这个关键时刻出列，每个党员要在工作中成为一面红色的旗帜，在思想上成为一根定海神针。
检验科的管理团队根据专业的生物安全管理，迅即制定了更为严格的通道管理，提高了防护级别，调整检测流程适应高危样本的防护，持续性地开展防护服的规范穿脱程序的培训和检测环节的生物安全培训，严查细节，筑起保护工作人员和工作环境的一道防护墙。
检验科党支部的党员、干部、普通员工从这场战“疫”开始, 就站在了队伍的前列，科主任们把科室管理和员工的安全放在首位；风险高、任务重的岗位，党员先上。

检验科主任项杰从疫情开始就一直奋战在第一线，一直没回家。妻子生病不能照顾，两个孩子见不到父亲，自己身体撑不住也依然坚持工作。
检验科吴志强，夫妻两人都是检验科职工，疫情来临，为了工作，无法照料家里近90岁的老父亲，只好送到养老院。一个多月过去了，老人想儿女想回家，吴志强一次次在电话中安慰老人，挂了电话，自己却难过得直掉泪。
每天要忙到晚上10点多，整理大量的患者信息和核酸检测数据匹配，以保证及时准确地上传给省、市防疫指挥部；平日还要把关领回的防护用品是否适用于实验室的防护级别；对讲机时刻在手边，协调防护区内外的沟通……这是检验科刘婷的工作日常。

马峻本来到了不上夜班的年龄，因为科室根据安全考虑，接二连三有需要隔离观察的同事暂时离岗，马峻主动成为了 “顶班专业户”。
“我考虑了，我相信ICU的同志会照顾好我公公，孩子我送到她姑姑家，就算是刘伟（方国妍爱人）在一线，我也不退二线，我要回来上班”，这是检验科方国妍度过隔离期后的决定。
每一个岗位，都有他们坚守和奋斗的身影。
金银潭抗疫纪事

==Part 9==

第四章
“小人物”的“大故事”
如果说金银潭医院是与疫魔激烈交锋的战区，那么金银潭医院的所有医护人员和员工都是无畏的英雄战士。
然而，医院之夕卜，他们也只是一群普通的“小人物”，有各自的小家需要去操持。面对肆虐的病毒，他们顾全大局、參力力同心，沉着应对、主动作为，用最质朴的坚守、最无私的奉献打响了这场生命至上的保卫战，演绎出一个个感人的“大故事”。
于无声处听惊雷

有一种执着，在惊涛骇浪中弥足珍贵；有一种坚守，在困难逆境中传递温暖。
在抗击新型冠状病毒的伟大斗争中，影像确诊是第一道关口，为提供精准治疗发挥着前置性服务作用，承担着“预警机” 的角色与功能。
放射科便是医院治疗体系的“预警机”，在筛查、诊断、病情评估、疗效评估、出院判断等方面提供重要的参考决策依据O
拍CT、看胸片，是确诊新冠肺炎的关键环节。樊艳青是金银潭医院医技党支部书记，也是放射科主任。从2019年12月底以来，在金银潭医院收治新冠肺炎患者期间，她主动取消了休假，放弃了和家人春节团聚的机会，以院为家，日夜奋战在抗击疫情一线。

疫情形势严峻，樊艳青广泛动员和充分发动科室全体同志取消休假，她并没有豪情壮语，也没有硬性要求，只是简单地一句话“共产党员和同志们，看我的，跟我上！”
朴实而坚定，简洁而有力。在党支部的坚强堡垒带领作用下，医院放射科21名医护人员全部取消休假，其中包括5名党员。他们一力承担起6000多人次的门诊疑似病例、新冠肺炎确诊病例，同时还要负责1000多医护人员的筛查。
樊艳青还承担着大量的一线工作任务。每天坚持到隔离病房为患者做床边胸片，努力克服了工作量大、防护严苛、设备笨重、通讯不便等困难，出色完成了临床诊断要求。平均下来她每天要诊断检查300到400人次，每个CT要看600到900 帧图像。对待每个患者，她都以高度负责的态度，不放过任何的疑问与细节，每个患者资料要反复查看2到3遍，才撰写文字报告。
从疫情开始至今，她的眼睛每天都是酸胀、干涩，布满了血丝。

作为党员，樊艳青充分地发挥了先锋模范带头作用，哪里的任务重，她就带队冲锋到哪里。她以自己的行动和感染力，践行了共产党员的初心和使命。正是有樊艳青这样无数牺牲小我、奋不顾身的共产党员，在平凡岗位中默默奉献，于无声处听惊雷，抗击疫情这场伟大斗争的曙光才能提前到来。
军功章上有你的一半，也有我的一半
“我能想到最浪漫的事，不是和你一起慢慢变老，而是一起在烈火狂风中相互携手，抗击风暴，共同迎接黎明的到来。”
这是金银潭医院南四病区医生余婷和他的妻子——医院护士丁娜的共同心愿。他们以自己的实际行动，在医疗战线上抒写着爱情的动人篇章。

医院南四病区负责着四十多名新冠肺炎患者的治疗工作，其中有不少是重症患者。而南四区的医生总共才有四名，平均每人每天要治疗十多个患者，救治任务是平常工作量的五倍。而且，重症患者思想情绪波动大，病菌传染不可控风险高。
面对着这场艰巨的工作任务，余婷首先考虑的却是带动妻子一起来投身于这场伟大的斗争中。他们一起妥善安排好家里的事务，克服困难，第一个批次报名，第一个批次写请战书，第一个批次站在阵地的最前线。
余婷每天坚持到病房巡查、诊断。防护装备穿戴下来，要花费不少时间。他为了节约时间与装备，一进病房就是四五个小时。逐床问诊，对症下药，心理辅导，加油鼓劲，不仅从药物上治疗患者，还从心理上给重症患者以生的希望和春天般的温暖O

他的妻子丁娜，也全身心地投入到病房的护理工作中去，一丝不苟、兢兢业业，常常忙得连饭也顾不上吃。两口子一天下来，汗水浸湿衣背，水汽弥漫面罩，手上的动作不再敏捷，脚步不再有力，脸上被口罩压出了深深的痕迹。忙碌的背后，余婷与丁娜两人经常一天见不上一面，只能在休息时间打个电话互相问候、相互勉励。但他们都彼此约定，待到樱花烂漫时，两人一起去赏花，去品尝胜利的喜悦。
因为，“军功章上有你的一半，也有我的一半！”
不能守护的家人
2020年2月3日，如同往常一样，医生王珂和护士赵欣刚结束繁忙而紧张的抢救工作。当晚有2个患者病情危重不稳定，他们一直忙碌于诊治，待写完抢救记录，时针已指向凌晨 3点。当晚，本不是

王珂值班，是他主动要求参与抢救危重患者。
不仅仅是这次，平素工作中他也是如此。
时间回溯至2020年的1月20 0,接到紧急通知，当晚就要腾空病房收治新冠肺炎患者。疫情就是命令，金银潭医院结核病科第三党支部紧急撤离一批患者,布置病房，研究实施方案, 一直忙到晚上10点，终于为收治新冠肺炎患者创造好完备的环境条件。
作为一名党员，44岁的王珂，顾不上疲惫，积极请战，开始收治第一批患者，到当天凌晨3点金银潭医院结核病科第三党支部总共收治31个患者，仅王珂一人就收治了 10多个患者。
脱下防护服的那一刻，他的衣服已被汗水湿透，脸颊上也被压出深深的褶痕。

在接下来的工作中，他总是不顾危险，率先冲在最前面：积极要求接管病情比较危重的患者；主动要求参加危重患者的抢救工作；危重患者转科时，积极进病房帮忙搬运吸氧设备和呼吸机……
只要有需要，随处都可以看到他的身影。在承担患者救治工作之余，他还要协助完成治疗新冠肺炎的临床研究项目，利用休息时间采集和处理住院患者的临床医疗信息，频繁下病房去询问、了解患者病情。除去吃饭和睡觉的时间，他的生活被安排得满满当当，全身心扑在治病救人工作上。
不幸的是，这期间他的小姨被确诊患有新冠肺炎。然而，在疫情紧张的局面下，医院仍有许多重患需要救治，治疗项目也亟待突破。几番思量，他选择忍痛留守在没有硝烟，却异乎残酷的战场上，没能去看小姨一眼，只是通过电话交代了一些注意事项。由于病情危重，他的小姨很快去世了。接到电话通知的那一刻，这个大个头男人眼里都是泪水，他抢救了那么多患者，唯独自己的亲人需要他守护时，却不能出现在身边……

仅仅过了数日，他的妹妹也被确诊，好在妹妹年轻，病情也比较轻，他却也只能借助电话向妹妹传达问候和关心。
“家是最小国，国是千万家”。多少这样平凡的白衣战士心甘情愿舍小家为众人筑起一道抗疫的长城，只为这场疫情防控阻击战能早日胜利，只盼彼时冬去春来，雪消冰释。
那个蹒跚的身影
2017年8月一2018年8月赴藏对口援建工作第一批成员。
2019年2月由于临时加开北五楼病区并腾空原有北六楼结核病区收治流感患儿，大大缓解其他科室收治压力。
2020年1月1日接管南六楼新冠肺炎病区，1月19日将南六楼改造成为ICUo
这是陈南山近三年的工作轨迹。他的身份在临床医生、援藏队员、病区主任之间无缝转换。

作为金银潭医院耐药病区的科主任，他的每一个亲切的笑脸，每一个鼓励的眼神，每一句温暖的问候语，每一个细微的动作，对于耐药患者都是一味对症的良药。
陈南山从事医疗事业三十多年来，无论是在行政管理，还是临床医疗的岗位上，都是兢兢业业，刻苦钻研，得到了患者的赞誉、同事的好评。他有着良好的职业道德、严谨的工作态度、很强的综合分析能力，非常重视诊疗过程中的心理疏通，关注患者心理变化。
随着新冠肺炎危重症患者收治越来越多，1月19日医院决定将南六楼从普通病房改造成为ICU,从人员分配、环境布查完房从病房里出来的陈南山。

仪器设备到一张床一把椅，陈南山带领大家动了起来，一边收治危重患者，一边改造，仅花了两天半时间把整个病区改造成功。

他身体力行，每天不管多忙多累都坚持下病房，详细查看每一位患者，掌握患者的病情变化，半夜突发状况比较多时他就干脆睡在医院。
陈南山已年近六旬，高血压、痛风症常年折磨着他，同事从他走路的样子就能看出他痛风又犯了。
数十天的坚守，他没有豪言壮语，没有遗书遗言，没有光头明志，只有那略弯着腰、微弓着背的蹒跚身影深深印在同事和患者的脑海中。
哪有什么生而勇敢，

只是因为选择了无畏
从2019年12月底开始，医院检验科已满负荷地工作2个多月了。检验科入职不久的“小朋友们”，有的刚当上父亲，有的还是奶奶最疼爱的孙女，然而，只要穿上白大褂，他们瞬间就化身为勇敢而无畏的战士。
何旭，生化组，2017年入职。
何旭每天要穿梭在三台生化仪旁，检测几百例样本、几十个项目。
他说，刚开始，因为对这个病毒到底是什么、怎样传、毒力怎样都未知，想着家里又有老人又有小孩，还是挺担心的。后来随着科室的防护措施一步步提升到位，科室不断地给大家做生物安全培训，各方面细节都涉及了，心里有底了，开始逐渐踏实下来。
对何旭来讲，最大的动力之一，莫过于家里人的支持，他的妻子带孩子住在岳母那里，老人把孩子照顾得很好，免了他的后顾之忧。有时下夜班，何旭会帮家里买点菜，把冰箱塞满。

何旭在工作中（右图左一为何旭）。

“我只能做这些，不敢在家久待，所以对家人挺愧疚的。” 何旭说。
闫明哲，分子生物组，2019年入职。
闫明哲负责病毒核酸检测。1米9的小伙子，笑起来还像个腼腆的大男孩，儿子才出生3个月。
闫明哲说，刚开始还是有点害怕的，不过“这就是我们的责任啊，不能退”。尤其看到外省的医务人员不远千里一拨一拨地赶来支援，看到私家车司机自发地守在医院门口接送医务人员，他在心里想，除了加倍地做好工作，哪有理由退缩。

这段时间以来，闫明哲最想感谢的还是自己的妻子。虽然闫明哲父母帮着妻子一起带宝宝，可好多方面，妻子都得去适应，“挺难为她的”。宝宝后来发湿疹，也不方便带到医院去看, 只能干着急。
有时候，闫明哲挺想回去一下，但疫情防控需要，闫明哲只能隔着玻璃看看宝宝，“儿子现在还不会找我……”
吴煙，临检组，2019年入职。
吴哗本来准备今年结婚，疫情暴发后，头发都没时间去剪，婚纱照就更没时间去拍了。
吴煙说，刚开始也害怕，特别是身边有熟悉的人感染，但是科室的防护工作做得很细致，“老师和前辈们没有一个人退缩，我也就安下心了”。

何柳、张媛媛，微生物组，分别于2011年和2018年入职。
疫情一开始，何柳就将自己在医院附近的房子让给了科室的两个老师居住，她说：“江老师和刘老师家里都是几代同堂，住得又远，让她们住我家，她们的家人就少些风险。”
何柳平时话少，却贴心地为老师们备好了洗手液、洗发水。
自从科室提高防护级别后，有些风险高的项目就挪到了 P2 实验室内完成。每天张媛媛和何柳在江丽萍老师的带领下，在 P2实验室里一待就是三四个小时。张媛媛说：“科室老师们都是这样在工作，我和她们在一起，不怕。”

刘梦元，临检组，2019年入职。
刘梦元说，刚开始也会害怕，后来看着科室生物安全管理非常严格，各个环节、各个细节都注意到，一遍遍地培训，也就不怕了。“在我们科室里，我感觉最安全。有时爸爸妈妈打电话时，我就跟他们讲，我们怎么做防护的，让他们放心。” 刘梦元说，有时老师们从实验室出来后，一起说说话，开开玩笑, 就感觉很轻松，心里很踏实。
一副副年轻的脸庞，一个个瘦小的身躯。哪有什么生而勇敢, 只是因为选择了无畏。
在金银潭医院检验科这群90后的年轻人眼里，这次疫情是考验，是锻炼，是个人难忘的一次成长。他们从检验科严谨的生物安全管理措施和持续的培训中，获得了安全感；从科主任率先垂范的行为中生发了责任感；从前辈老师们乐观、坚韧的精神中获得了坚持下去的力量；从科室和同事们的关怀中得到心灵上的安慰。
累，但是值得!

吴婷是金银潭医院综合二楼护士。作为一名有着近七年工作经验的一线护士，面对疫情，吴婷深知，穿上白袍，就等于选择了责任与使命，作为医护工作者,救死扶伤是工作更是责任, 抗击疫情责无旁贷。
2019年冬季的流感暴发，吴婷所在的科室作为流感病房，承担着小儿流感及各类感染性疾病的收治工作，每天出入量都在50人次左右，正是这样一个无比团结、和谐的队伍在坚持，并将继续坚持着，从未落后过，也从未放弃过。
自1月19日开始收治疑似病例以来，金银潭医院上下同心同德，全力投入救治工作。隔离病区的医护人员更是日夜奋战在疫情防控第一线。
1月19日，吴婷所在科室接到医院通知，清空病房，全体搬迁至南三楼收治新冠肺炎患者，科室同事集体报名加班，做好病房的布置工作。老病房和新病房的处理在科主任和护士长的带领下，进行得有条不紊。

吴婷记得，当天她上夜班就收治了 18个患者。新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎这样一个新病种，当时对于她们来说还有点陌生，但是大家都经过医院的严格培训，并且有禽流感救治的经验，所以很快就进入了角色。
1月26日，又接到医院通知，科室护士全体搬迁至综合楼二楼，大家又积极报名改造和布置病房、清洁区、潜在污染物、污染区等等。
这些细小的工作看似简单，做起来却并不容易，但吴婷和同事们经过科学的考虑，科室布局都符合院感（医院感染管理）的要求，至今为止，吴婷所在的科室无一例医护人员感染。
1月26日晚上，吴婷和同事就接收了 30个新患者。接收后，医生立即分类，护士马上报总值班。医生们按轻重缓急有条不紊地处理患者；护士们测生命体征、吸氧、输液等等，穿梭于患者之间。医护之间争分夺秒、配合默契，一直到次日凌晨3点，才将所有患者处理完毕。
处理完患者，又开始处理病房，因为没有卫生员，这时护士不仅只是护士，还是清洁工、患者的家属等等，承担着各种角色，但大家没有一句怨言。

从流感到肺炎，吴婷和同事几乎没有休息过，“累，但是也很快乐，因为正做着一件很伟大的事情。”
“哪有不怕的，说不怕是假的。”但是在病房里，每当看到患者的意志力是如此之顽强，听到患者每天给大家打气，为武汉加油，为自己加油，吴婷觉得一切都是值得的。
吴婷觉得，正如钟南山院士所说，“武汉本来就是一座很英雄的城市，有全国、有大家的支持，武汉肯定能过关。”
一名医者的担当
中午，值班室里，大家陆陆续续吃完了午餐，郑汉丹医生这才顶着湿漉漉的头发过来，问有没有多余的盒饭，她要带一份给家中的孩子。
她的儿子今年上高中，自理能力不错，为什么今天要送饭回去？
原来郑汉丹今天夜班，查完房她要把家中唯一的汽车开回去，这样的话，晚上她爱人就可以开车送郑医生的母亲去武汉中心医院南京路院区做透析。

郑汉丹医生是金银潭医院的一名普通医生，一直从事传染病的临床诊治工作。她的父母也是医疗战线工作者，父亲是金银潭医院退休的老院长，已85岁高龄；母亲是武汉市中心医院妇产科退休的老主任，5年前因为糖尿病、肾病开始就近在武汉市中心医院后湖院区透析，郑汉丹需要经常过去照顾。
郑汉丹自己患有哮喘，常年使用药物控制发作，她爱人曾俊在武汉市疾病预防控制中心工作。2003年的非典战役，郑汉丹参加过，儿子也是那一年出生。没想到17年后，金银潭医院作为武汉市首批收治新冠肺炎危重患者的定点医院，她又一次投入到了新的战场上，肩上的职责丝毫未变。
从疫情开始，他们夫妻不分昼夜，在各自的岗位上奔波忙碌，没有多少精力顾及家庭。所幸的是刚上高一的儿子自理能力强，做饭洗衣等驾轻就熟，因为父母特殊的工作岗位，孩子早已磨砺出来，这段时间一直都是独自一人在家自己照顾自己。

最让郑汉丹担心的是母亲年老体弱，透析治疗已有5年，近期因为疫情越来越严峻，原来做透析的武汉市中心医院后湖院区临时改为收治新冠肺炎患者，透析需换到离家较远的武汉市中心医院南京路院区，加上母亲因脑梗造成双下肢瘫痪，每周3次的透析无奈减至2次。
按现有情况，必须靠车辆接送才能完成透析。夫妻俩单位——父母家——透析中心，往返奔波，为了交接唯一的交通工具——私家车，夫妻俩人才能见个面，说几句话。为了工作，她和医生商量，母亲的透析时间安排在晚上8时至12时，每次透析结束，都是凌晨才能安顿好父母，次日又要投入到忙碌的工作中。
在这场看不见硝烟的战争中，所有家庭都面临着各种困难，经受着各种考验，但是为了人民的健康和幸福，郑汉丹和她的同事们“舍小家，顾大家”，以医务工作者的责任和担当，义无反顾地投入到抗击新冠肺炎的阻击战中。他们的付出，是众志成城打赢疫情防控阻击战的坚实基础。
“一点都不害怕那是假话，但也容不得我们害怕”

“一点都不害怕那是假话，但也容不得我们害怕。”已经从业13年，31岁的金银潭医院南七楼重症监护室护士马丹说。
“现在是每天都要进去，排班就像车轮一样不断往前滚。” 马丹当天的排班是晚上11点到凌晨4点。她们科室总共40 多个护士，7至8个人为一个班组，每个班进去一次就是5个小时。
马丹的老公是一名货运火车司机，疫情发生后，他也一直坚守在岗位，调运货物。夫妻俩4岁的儿子现在特别“可怜”，成了留守儿童，都是家里老人帮忙在带。
马丹唯一一次回家是1月30日，原因是86岁奶奶去世。但那天她和爱人仅仅是回家看了一眼就走了，没有多逗留。疫情笼罩之下，奶奶过世，没有几个亲人相送，没有一个花圈，在马丹的记忆中没见过哪个老人去世时，走得这么悲凉。
马丹回忆，2019年12月29日首批转入金银潭医院的9名不明原因肺炎患者就是进了她们科室。“当时还不清楚是什么病毒，我当时在武汉市的其他医院进修，然后看到工作群里说，
突然转入不明肺炎患者，我就说我要回来，不能抛下同事。第二天一早我就回到了工作岗位。”

“一点都不害怕那是假话，但也容不得我们害怕。”马丹说，她参加过禽流感、甲流的疫情防控工作。
“我觉得本来就是传染病专科医院，如果我们都不顶上去，那还等谁，还能指着谁，这是我们的专业，我们不能退缩！”
在重症室，患者的生活起居、大小便等全部要护士来帮忙。
马丹的病房里十多个重症患者，最轻松的时候，一个护士也要管2—3个患者。“在那里面的压力是很大的，患者都是全院最病重的，抢救、用药都很急，我们时时刻刻都要面临可能出现的抢救工作，节奏很快很紧张，强度很大，神经绷得很紧。”
“科室护士长从疫情发生就没有回过家，天天守在病房，她连酒店都没有回过，她要守着患者做ECMO （体外膜肺氧合），做完了她就直接在病房休息。”马丹回忆，有一天工作完了之后护士长流鼻血了，就捂着鼻子，搞了个氧气在那里吸氧，即使这样了也不离开岗位。护士长和女儿视频，经常是对着手机躲在一边哭。“有了她的带动，我们才有坚持下来的动力。”马丹说。

马丹所在科室在疫情中相互鼓励。

“爸爸每天早上五六点的时候给我发一篇心灵鸡汤文章，慰问一下我和同事，鼓励我。” 一直在前线坚守的马丹，最感恩的是家里的爸爸妈妈和婆婆的支持，“特别是我爸爸，他是一个老党员，他认为遇到这个事情，国家需要我，我能参与是我的责任，也是我的光荣，他以我为傲，每天在微信鼓励我。”
马丹说，她的婆婆不善言语，但让她特别安心。婆婆跟她说：“我帮你把孩子带好，你安心在前线工作！”

“每个人做好自己的事情，就是对疫情防控最大的帮助。” 马丹说，只希望自己能尽最大的能力，救治每一个患者，让疫情快点结束。

==Part 10==
不只是在疫情中才是战士
46岁的金银潭医院南四病区护士长吴静，已经从业28年。
从1月1日开始投入这场战“疫”，腾退病房，做好准备，2

是一个没有硝烟的战场！不计报
,无论生死！这八个字朴实无华，却是每位医护人员的职业道德和信念的写照！十多天来，我亲身经历了这战场发生的一切，医生、护士、医务人员冒着生命危险，穿着厚重且不甚透气的防护服，24小时奋战在病床一线。为了节约时间, 他们走路都是一路小跑......看着他们一个个疲惫的样子，我心疼的流泪 To （说实话，我自己都没有为我生这场病流泪！）我无法用语言来表达对这些医生、护士的敬畏之心！通过这次疫灾，我深切体会到身为中国人是有满满的安全感、幸福感的！感谢习主席、感谢党中央、感谢武汉市政府、感谢金银潭医院及南四楼的余主任和所有的护士，让我携起手来共同努力，坚决战胜侵袭武汉的新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎，坚决打赢疫情防控战！加油武活、治疗上的事全部都是护士来管。护士穿着防护服后行动会变慢，防护服里很闷，动一下就会大喘气。
当时情况就是“今天排明天的班，后面三天四天的班就排不下去了，非常缺人。我着急得都快哭了！”
后来人手多了些，吴静抽出时间回了趟家。
“我走的时候，家里人只说让我放心，工作之余方便的时候报个平安。”
吴静的科室护理团队里很多都是年轻的姑娘，28个护士，
90后占了 80%。“这些小丫头其实也都有各自的困难，心里也害怕，但觉悟都很高，不用安排她们去做什么，她们已经主动在做了。从来不叫苦，从来不讲条件。”

吴静所在科室的护士们合影，相互加油鼓劲
初期，吴静最担心的还是防护用品，自己都保护不了，怎么去保护别人。
“我们病区最小的护士才22岁。让人家在这么危险的环境工作，必须先保证她们的安全，也能更好照顾患者。”
吴静说，由于防护服是连体的，没有口袋，护士巡视输液时需要签名，笔、对讲机等小件物品没地方放。为了工作方便，科室护士的爸爸妈妈亲手帮她们做了
“爱心腰包”，吴静还在上面画上了笑脸，鼓励患者和医护人员都要乐观面对。
在吴静眼里，没有觉得自己是个战士，就是做好本职工作, “不管什么样的患者我们都要救助，不只是在疫情中才是战士, 平时的工作做好也是战士。”
宁愿穿纸尿裤干活，
也不愿离岗的大男人
金银潭医院工程部维修班副班长肖剑池怎么也想不到，46 岁身强体壮的自己，也会有穿上成人纸尿裤的一天。
但即便如此，他也从没想过退下抗疫一线，“病房里的事情要做啊，班长由于密切接触新冠肺炎患者被隔离,我是个党员，事事更要带头做！”
抗疫前线，肖剑池不愿缺席，哪怕突发痔疮，给工作和生活带来了各种不便。
2月12日，刚刚从医院综合4病区和5病区装完紫外线消毒灯回来的肖剑池接到电话：“北七病区15床跳闸，麻烦来看看。”来不及喝口水，他就和同事一起赶往北七病区。考虑到防护物资紧缺和维修难度，他让同事先在清洁区等候，自己穿好防护服进了病房。首先接上临时电源，保障医疗设备用电，再查找原因，近1米8身高的他，蹲在这里看看，趴在那里瞧瞧，终于在患者床下发现了原因，“重症患者小便失禁，尿液把设备的电源插座打湿烧坏了。”
处理完故障回到科室后，肖剑池疼得身上直冒冷汗，他换下工作服后径直去了厕所,这才发现内衣全部被血水打湿。原来, 长时间的蹲姿诱发了痔疮。
“怎么办？班长还没有结束隔离，这种特殊时期我肯定不能下火线！”他突然想到前段时间有爱心企业捐赠了成人纸尿裤，“我们要进病房工作，时间长了，穿个纸尿裤方便些。” 于是他找护士要了一包，由于拿着一包纸尿裤回去，“目标” 太明显，他只拿了一个，偷偷去厕所穿上，然后又去开了点痔疮膏。
后来，肖剑池想着纸尿裤穿着方便，但在男厕所里太过显眼, 他就用卫生纸代替了纸尿裤。每次需要更换卫生纸了，他边揪卫生纸边跟同事说拉肚子，就这样偷偷换了3天的卫生纸。突然有一天，同事发现哪怕再辛苦再累，肖剑池回来后也不坐着，经多次询问，无奈之下，他“坦白” 了，因为疼痛，一旦坐下来, 起身很困难，必须扶着凳子才能起身，所以他宁愿站着。
为保证后勤保障工作有条不紊，肖剑池主动顶替被隔离的班长上夜班。最长时间，他连续值了 2个夜班，工作超过48个小时，“虽然疼得火辣辣，但是问心无愧。”肖剑池说。
背后的她
优秀的共产党员，唯有在生动艰苦的工作实践中，方能显现出身上可贵的品质。作为金银潭医院财务科党支部书记、审计科长，李斌迅速地调整心态，投入到这场史无前例的抗击疫情的伟大斗争中。
这次疫情金银潭医院承担着新冠肺炎重症、危重症患者救治的任务，病毒传染风险一度令人谈之色变。入院患者没有家属陪护，生活自理能力差，需要医院提供全方位的生活保障服务。
李斌直面疫情，有序应对，在领导的布置下，主动承担起每天三餐给患者送饭到传递窗口，为病区运送消毒药品、办公物资等任务。病区内的医生与护士均为最高等级防护，每次送饭、送物资前，她都缜密地多方协调，科学有序做好隔离消毒和防护等各个环节，严格把关后勤保障供应的质量，在约定时间给患者提供营养可口、舒适温暖的后勤保障服务。李斌知道，患者营养有了保证，治疗效果才能确保。
医院行政管理人员一般都没有经过系统的医护专业培训，没有烈性传染环境中自我防护的专业技能与设备，普遍会产生一定的心理恐慌与畏惧情绪。李斌及时发现了这些情绪与苗头，她没有死板的说教，也没有严苛的命令，而是将自己的心得体会、成功做法、防护经验毫无保留地与大家分享，以自身的实际行动带动大家，发动大家正确认识病疫，普及科学防护的常识与要点，增强大家的信心。
小小身体里的巨大能量
李向蓉，是南一楼的一名普通护士。她爱笑，似乎没有什么事在她那里是过不去的，无论多忙，多累，同事们总是可以看见她欢快的小身影，快乐的小步伐。
疫情袭来，李向蓉冷静地安排了自己的家人，把婆婆和两岁三个月的儿子送回了老家，同时叮嘱好老公每一件注意事项，然后默默地收拾好了自己的行李，上了战场。家人们都很支持她的决定，同为党员的公公跟她说：“作为一个党员，在这个时候你一定要起到带头作用,冲在最前面！家里的一切你放心, 保护好自己，才能更好地为人民服务！”婆婆也是跟她立下了 “军令状”：“你安心去战斗，等你凯旋归来，我保证你儿子又长胖了好几斤！”
厚厚的防护服，层层的口罩与隔离衣，每天都汗如雨下，连说话都困难，走快一点都觉得喘不上气，可是她从没有说一句累，没有丝毫的退缩之意，依然“健步如飞”。
只要患者有需要，她总是用最快的速度来到他们面前解决所有的问题。喂饭、翻身、倒便盆尿壶等等，所有的脏活累活她从不挑剔，像对待自己的亲人一样，每一件事都尽心尽力。遇到不想吃饭的患者，她总是耐心地劝他们，一口一口地哄他们吃，患者们都说自己的亲孙女都不见得有她那么仔细照顾人。
遇到一些不听话、不配合治疗的患者，她气急了也会“凶”，生气地跟他们说“再这样我就不管你们了！”可是当真的有事时，她还是狠不下心，说不管的是她，冲在最前面的也是她。
李向蓉每天都充满了正能量，用同事的话说，像“打了鸡血” 一样，像个铁人，什么都打不倒她。
有一天，李向蓉接到了家里打来的电话。挂了电话，她飞快地跑到一个角落，号啕大哭。等她情绪稳定了一点后，同事们才知道，原来她的儿子已经生病好几天了，高烧不退，不吃不喝，家里人怕她担心，没敢告诉她，后来实在是瞒不住，孩子情况越来越不好，家里人也不知道该怎么办了，才给她打的电话。
领导说放她几天假，让她回去看看孩子，她没有拒绝。可到了下午，她又找到领导，说不回去了，“孩子有家里人照顾，这里更需要我！”所幸，几天后，孩子恢复了健康。笑容又回到了李向蓉的脸上。
新冠肺炎疫情下的耐药之战
2019年12月29日，武汉市金银潭医院打响了抗击新冠肺炎病毒的第一枪，随之所有病房清空，举全院之力收治新冠肺炎重症、危重症患者，800余名医务人员进入战疫一线，作为湖北省耐药定点医院、耐药定点培训基地，医院耐药结核病区也在2020年1月21日进入了一场新的战斗。
全市封城，交通不便，门诊有限，就诊困难，有些疾病可以等，但耐药结核病患者等不了。耐药患者一旦停药，就会导致情况更加恶化，治疗方案更加复杂，诱发并发症，进而使整个“耐药之战”功亏一簧，严重时甚至危及生命。
为了让耐药结核病患者不停药，保证疗程，减少新冠肺炎对疾病的影响，金银潭医院耐药病区医生周勇、护士长贾春敏带领咨询员在保证新冠肺炎患者的救治工作的前提下，利用休息时间，提供24小时线上问诊、心理疏导、信息登记、快递药品等志愿服务，累计服务患者350余人，快递药品近100份。
询问、记录、安抚，根据患者需求，医护人员首先登记好患者的姓名、年龄、手机号、收货地址等信息，交由周勇进行完善。随后，贾春敏拿着信息统一去挂号、开处方、缴费、拿药，取出药物后按要求分类消毒打包，再一个个写上名字，之后寄
给患者。
因为封城，出行成了大难题，患者进不来，药品也出不去，为了能让这些沉甸甸的希望送到患者手上，志愿服务队的队员们利用下班时间去联系快递公司。一家不送，再找一家。一处碰壁，再碰~处。
一次，护士谢家强好不容易寄出的快递，由于封城被扣在快递公司，身高不到1米6、刚下夜班的她担心药品丢失，在寒风中骑行7公里，历时一个半小时，终于把药取回，并经过多家辗转，最终寄出了这些药物。
志愿服务队的队员最终也感动了快递师傅，主动来院取药、寄药。
抗击新冠肺炎的战“疫”还未结束，这场耐药之战仍在继续。
一名护士长的抗疫实录
我是武汉市金银潭医院南二病区护士长胡徐娟，从“武汉不明原因肺炎” 2019年12月29日流传以来，至元宵节，整整 41天，我和我的很多战友没有休息。
我们真的很累，但是身处一线，如果不继续奋战，那我们的意义又是什么？
连续在一线作战，持续的高强度高负荷工作让我们医护人员喘不过气，但看着躺在床上的患者那渴望被治好的眼神，我们一次又一次给自己打气，继续站在危险的第一线。
今天的我，回头再看，从那天起，我们其实已经走进了一场全球瞩目的巨大疫情之中。谁也没曾想到25天后的1月23 日武汉封城，紧随着湖北省内13个城市逐步停掉公共交通，进而全国各个城市卷入其中。
从12月底到1月初的那一周里，医院收治类似的患者越来越多，由于病情性质的特殊，重症患者较多，对于医护人员的防护级别和病房的要求越来越高。我们不断地新开病房，由于时间紧，对病房的要求高，一天的时间我们就得把一个普通病房改造成类似ICU模式的重症病房，其间辛苦，难以言表。
没有具体的时间，我们就已经走在了疫情抗战的第一线。
谁也没曾想到，会持续至今，且形势愈演愈烈。
面对不断增加的患者，人员不足开始显现。1月11 EJ ,医院发布通知，即日起取消休息，全员上班，但是在不断转院进来的患者面前，我们开始了连轴转的状态，上完白班跟着上中班，上完中班继续上夜班。
1月的武汉进入到一年最冷的时节，而我们在密不透风的防护服里，衣服从未干过，患者身边各种监护仪器此起彼伏的报警声让我们无暇顾及额头的汗水，当走出病房脱下防护服，全身衣物早已被汗水浸透。
在连续作战的日子里，我们负伤却依旧前行，我们不敢倒下，因为面前还有更多需要我们去救助的人，我们肩上挑着责任，背负着使命，我们要为武汉加油！

这是医护人员繁重工作的一个“小角落

金银潭医院迎来来自祖国四面八方的医疗队的支援。

在疫情愈发严重后，武汉受到了全国的关注，而作为重中之重的武汉金银潭医院，我们得到了四面八方的支援。有本市的、上海的、福建的、吉林的、重庆的。我们的护理团队从十几人变成20多人。这一刻我们看到了国家的力量。
尽管来了多方支援，可是在面对科室30多个患者，近20 个危重患者，经常一个患者就得两个人操作时，我们20来人的护理团队仍然有点力不从心。
由于此次疫情在春节期间，加上后来多方的宣传，疫情也得到了全民的重视，在防护层面来说是好事，然而也为医院带来了一些困扰，比如医院的保洁和保安陆续走了，甚至连食堂的阿姨也走了。

从四面八方，从全国各地，温暖源源不断
吃的、喝的、用的、穿的，凡是能想到的，爰心人士
都想方设法送到金银潭医院医护人员手上。

位叔叔和阿姨留了下来，和我们一起战斗，她们体谅我们的辛苦, 我们也感恩他们的付出。
了保障我们的生活，医院行政的领导们每天在楼下为我们派饭，运送防护物资。我见过党委书记来病房清理垃圾，见过院长会没开完就哭了，见过院办、党办主任每天帮着送物资，见过工会主席每天给患者送饭，我还见到了我的同事们因为压力太大而哭泣
爱，一直都在。此时的我们知道，我们不是独自战斗，全国人民的心和我们在一起。

金银潭抗疫纪事

第五章
并肩战斗
新冠肺炎疫情肆虐，武汉市金银潭医院作为湖北省、武汉市突发公共卫生事件医疗救治定点医院，第一时间冲在最前沿。全体医务人员毫不畏惧，超负荷坚守岗位，迎难而上，逆风而行。
一方有难，八方支援，在疫情防控的严峻形势下，各地医疗队紧急驰援。战“疫”的战场上，他们与金银潭医院的医护人员并肩作战，使得新冠肺炎患者的诊疗质量得到大大提升，挽救了一条条生命。
我们要更加坚定要竭尽所能
位重症医学医师的“武汉六日记”
时时面对夕匕亡，每次都要尽最大努力！从诞生之日起，重症医学就与抢救生命密不可分。作为奉命驰援武汉诸多重症医学医师中的一位，首都医科大学宣武医院重症医学科主任姜利 1月26日清晨抵达武汉后即进入这次疫情的“暴风眼”——武汉市金银潭医院，坚守至今。
连日来，这位从事危重病医学临床工作27年、参与救治危重症患者数千例、在急性呼吸窘迫综合征等方面积累了丰富临床经验的重症医学医师坚守一线，也坚持写下了 “武汉日记”。
第一天1月26日
到达武汉市金银潭医院：一个一个地梳理患者
一夜火车，早晨7:48到达武昌火车站。费了些周折联系到接站人员，到达驻地武汉会议中心，路上几乎没有车辆和行人。安顿好后，和东南大学附属中大医院党委副书记邱海波、首都医科大学附属北京朝阳医院副院长童朝晖、北京协和医院重症医学科（ICU ）主任杜斌，以及几位各地来的ICU医生一起到达武汉市金银潭医院。我和杜斌教授今天去的南六病区，是由普通病房改造的ICU病房。部分患者病情危重，还有一些是不稳定的。病区的工作人员来自不同地区、不同医院，专业背景各异，大家认真把管床方式与流程进行了梳理，重新分工，接下来就是一个一个地梳理患者。在穿好防护服进入病区后，人就不能轻易出来，里面的一片纸也不能带出来，和非传染病房的工作方式有很大不同。大半天时间就这样过去了，对要处理的患者也有了初步印象。
第二天1月27日
内外配合逐渐开始默契
病房早交班是7：55O驻地离医院大概十来公里，所以一早赶过去。南方天气阴冷。昨夜有患者去世，心中涌上来的悲伤，让我们更加坚定要竭尽所能。今天开始早晚双查房制，为夜班排除隐患，减少可以避免的抢救。我们管理的9名患者中，5 名重症、3名危重，低氧程度远较普通肺炎严重。ICU医生多花时间在床旁，而金银潭医院的医生帮助完成开医嘱和记病程的工作，内外配合逐渐开始默契。又把整理好的一部分工作流程贴在病区和治疗室的墙上，让大家执行时简单易行。
第三天1月28日
个子不高的男护士：像病房里的一个“稳压器”
依旧是在阴冽的清晨到达医院。今天我们组有两个“大活”，一名肾衰患者要做血液净化，另外一名则要进行最危险的操作一一气管插管。看完患者后，几位医生兵分两路，分别去处理血液净化和气管插管。有了前几次的经验，我们提前把需要的药品事先准备好。不料喉镜又出了问题，在等待新喉镜的过程中，一位个子不高的男护士引起我的注意，他手法娴熟，一个多余的动作都没有，活干得让人看着极其舒服，操作的同时还不停地安慰一旁新来的护士和屋子里焦虑的患者，像病房里的一个“稳压器”。喉镜和负压吸引装置终于来了。管床的小伙子义无反顾地戴上防护头套，像个勇士一样完成了危险的操作，淡然镇静。
午饭时，发现医院宣教中心的老师给我做了个小视频，被学生发到网上。从下午到晚上,涌来了雪片般的问候，家人、朋友、同学、同事，认识的、不认识的……心中暖暖的。
第四天1月29日
作为同行，这时候能做的唯有鼓励
早晨一过去，得知夜间又有一名患者去世，多少有些沮丧。然而，宝贵时间更要留给活着的人。穿防护服时又被告知，防护用品很紧张，进去一次一定要多完成一些工作。但是，ICU 患者的病情瞬息万变，在外面中心台看着像过山车一样的生命体征，恨不得马上到床旁看看究竟发生了什么。然而，现实不允许这么做，只有一遍一遍拿着对讲机，和里面的护士们反复沟通，想办法找到原因并纠正。
下午得到通知，去另外一家医院会诊及看望一名医生，才 40岁，他因为病情加重，又和夫人双双染病，很是焦虑。我们看了他的病历资料和肺部CT,心里不免又一沉。好在视频通话时，他居然可以连续说话，不太费劲。作为同行，这时候能做的唯有鼓励。而作为外科医生，40岁正是干事的年龄，希望这把“手术刀”能够保有锐利。
第五天1月30日
每个人的防护服上都写着名字和“加油”
刚踏进病区门，就被护士长拉住，说有个小护士喘得不行，让我过去看看。脸上还是外科口罩，就麻烦护士长拿了个 N95,我走进护士值班室。1991年出生的小姑娘一边喘一边哭，还在打电话，情绪很激动。我先摸了摸，不烧，心里大概有点数了。算算这姑娘比我女儿只大几岁，能够想象她所承受的压力和恐惧。跟护士长商量后，安排这姑娘休息，查个咽拭子再扫个CT,都是阴性，就踏实了。
因为插管上机的患者多了，进病房前和护士长达成共识，加强气道管理和其他重症常规护理。进病房后，又看到了一些新面孔，每个人的防护服上都写着名字和“加油”，都是各地来支援的ICU护士，日间的工作流程明显顺畅了许多。中午，几个情况不太好的患者都逐渐趋于稳定，连日阴天后太阳出来 T,大家都心情大好。而好事成双的时候就更令人鼓舞。我们拿到了一箱可视喉镜和一次性叶片，使得这项高危操作的时间得以缩短。
临下班前得知，90后姑娘没发烧，肺部CT也没问题。希望姑娘能顺利回家。
第六天1月31日
昨天所有的患者都还在
昨天下午到晚上，一共转进来3名患者，都是一进门就气
管插管和复苏。值班的周医生来自湖北荆门，年纪不小了，很担心这一夜的工作会让他吃不消。他见到我后很“得意”地说，昨天所有的患者都还在，这是几天来的第一次呢。外科出身的周医生活干得漂亮，昨天给一个下肢皮肤切开减压的患者换药，好好地露了一手。查完房出来已近中午。吃完饭走到院外，阳光洒到身上暖洋洋的，很难得。
回来不久，一位老年患者病情突然恶化，冲进去穿衣服时护士告诉我，别穿黄色的，不透气，还帮助我完美地完成防护，心里很是感动，在床旁协助我的医生完成气管插管和深静脉置管，镇静镇痛。出来后看到几位大教授在等我，赶紧和夜班医生做了交接。临走时，护士长给了一件社会捐助的崭新羽绒服，终于可以回去把我的脏衣服洗洗了。
“重症医学的专业使命，决定了我们必将成为此次阻击新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎流行战役中的重症患者生命救治的主力军”，1月29日，中华医学会重症医学分会、中国医师协会重症医学医师分会、中国病理生理学会危重病医学专业委员会共同发布《齐心协力，拯救生命，打赢新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎阻击战——致全国重症医学专业同道倡议书》，作为中国病理生理学会危重病医学专业委员会秘书长，姜利和另外10多位在武汉一线参加救治工作的委员一起，在倡议书中提出“凡为医者, 侠之大者，奉命于病难之间，受任于疫虐之际。国有难，招必归，战必胜”，希望全国奔赴一线的重症医学专业医护人员，要坚决打赢疫情防控的阻击战。

战“疫”前线的医生心声:
前线保住了，后方才安全
口罩、帽子、防护面罩、鞋套等全副武装，戴上双层手套…… 穿戴完毕，在金银潭医院参与救治的东南大学附属中大医院重症医学科副主任医师潘纯，开始了新一天的工作。
潘纯和援助湖北医疗队的医生们，负责金银潭医院五楼病区重症患者的救治指导等工作。病区有5位患者，每天都需要医护人员帮助翻身。算起来，一天要翻很多次。穿着包裹严密的防护服给患者翻身，医护人员的工作量要比往常大很多。“每次给患者翻身都需要5个医生一起，遇到体重较重的患者，就更费劲了。”潘纯说。
在隔离病房里，常常一待就是三四个小时，每次出来时，汗水都湿透衣背。潘纯说：“还好现在是冬天，如果夏天穿着防护服待这么长时间，人肯定会更难受。”
潘纯1月24日接到要做好驰援武汉准备的消息，他没有半点犹豫。家里人虽然有些担心，但还是给予了支持。“去吧，穿上这身白大褂，这就是你的职责。我们等你平安归来。”父亲对他说。
26日13时38分，潘纯乘坐高铁奔赴抗疫第一线。到达武汉第二天，在经过必要的培训后，立即进入工作状态。
在隔离病房查看患者情况、写医嘱，与同事讨论疑难、复杂患者的救治方案……忙碌了一天，晚上从病区回到住的地方后，工作仍在继续。潘纯还需要通过工作群了解每位患者情况、指导救治。遇到紧急情况，要随时“冲”回患者病床前进行救治。潘纯所在的病区有13位医生、19名护士，和他一样，每个人每天都是“超长待机”工作。
面对的全都是重症患者，经常与感染源“零距离接触”，有没有觉得怕的时候？他说：“没有，从来没有。重症医生是挽救患者生命的最后一道关口，就是要到最危险的地方去。从接到任务的那一刻起，就做好了准备,竭尽全力救治每一位患者。只有战’疫’前线保住了，后方才安全。”
回到住处，有空时，潘纯也会给家人报个平安，但他很少说起前方可能遇到的各种风险。来自7岁儿子的鼓励，总让他觉得动力满满——“爸爸，加油！早点回来！”

“等疫情结束后，我娶你”
对1992年出生的朱瑞而言，今年的情人节有了别样意义。
2020年2月14日零点，在金银潭医院值夜班的他突发奇想，用笔在白色的防护服上写上几个大字“邵媚铃：等疫情结束后，我娶你”，旁边还画上了一个爱心。
邵媚铃是朱瑞的女友，两人同为护士，六年前相识。朱瑞说, 今年过年原本打算上女友家中“提亲”，不料被疫情耽搁。
朱瑞的表白，不仅传到了千里之外屏幕的另一端，也触动了网友的泪腺。当晚，他发在朋友圈的图片，在微博上“红” 了。
“海有舟可渡，山有路可行，所爱隔山海，山海皆可平。” 有网友评论。
私人告白突然被“昭告天下”，邵媚铃感动之余，还是提醒他， “把心思更多放在工作上。”
事实上，在武汉的日子并不轻松。这个春节，朱瑞已在福州市第一医院重症医学科值班到了大年初二。当天，组建支援武汉医疗队信息传来，他回家简单收拾了下行李，就随队出发。
如今的他，每天大部分时间在红区（污染区）负责为患者挂瓶抽血检查等，鲜有空闲，“每天确诊的患者还比较多，虽说每天也有患者出院，但还不能掉以轻心。”
在武汉，医务人员的生物钟完全跟着排班走，睡觉时间也不定期，连日的夜班让他有些疲惫。
他说，眼下最大的愿望就是“好好睡上一觉”。

“为了节约防护服同事穿上了纸尿裤”
——湖南支援武汉金银潭医院护士的一线日记
“今天，我看到了用尽全身力气呼吸的感染患者渴望的眼神，这一刻感觉自己能为他们恢复健康献出力量，觉得能来到武汉救治是非常正确的选择 ”这是中南大学湘雅二医院血液净化中心护士李婉贞的一线日记。
近日，在国家卫健委统一调度下，中南大学湘雅二医院一支由5名血液净化护士组成的国家医疗队驰援武汉，5名护士分别是侯亦平、黄艳清、李婉贞、钟晓平、刘亮，她们平均年龄28岁，是医院的中坚力量。
1月27日下午，李婉贞和同事进驻金银潭医院重症监护室支援，她们的主要工作是为患者提供连续性肾脏替代治疗。李婉贞说：“为了节约防护服，我们在穿上防护服之前都要上厕所，并且少喝水，有的同事干脆穿上了成人纸尿裤再穿防护服，这样可以减少浪费。防护服一旦脱下来就不能再用了，少上一次厕所，就能节约一套，所有这一切只有一个目的——减少短缺的防护资源损耗。”
李婉贞在日记中写道：“我们被分配到医院的各科重症监护室，我的工作地点是在一个由病房改成的临时重症监护室，负责护理一些重症患者，能为他们做一些事情，我觉得很有意义。”
湘雅二医院医疗队队长侯亦平说：“驰援武汉是一份责任，我们会全力救治患者，圆满完成任务。”

这件白大褂其实很沉
“对于未知疾病的恐惧，人人都会有，医护人员脱下白大褂也是普通人。但是，一旦穿上白大褂，真的会感到一种使命感。这件白大褂其实很沉、很有分量。”刚从救治新型冠状病毒感染者一线返回的武汉大学人民医院护士朱庭萱说。
1月7日，正在休息的朱庭萱接到通知，医院要选派人员前往武汉市金银潭医院，支援新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎患者的定点收治工作。
接到通知后，朱庭萱给家里打了电话。
“如果我不去，就需要派别的同事去，他们家里可能有更多的困难。这个任务既然分配给了我，我就应该接受它。父母从小到大都很支持我，这次也不例外。”朱庭萱说。
“妈妈说过，可能我天生就是要从事医学这一行的。”朱庭萱回忆说。小时候，别的女孩子大多喜欢玩娃娃，而朱庭萱最喜欢拿根牙签给别人“打针”。填写高考志愿时，她选择的所有专业都与医学有关。
简单收拾些洗漱用品和换洗衣物，朱庭萱与同事当天下午就赶到金银潭医院报到，第二天开始参加科室值班。
在朱庭萱眼里，在金银潭医院的这段时间和在其他医院里差不多，护士工作都是“三班倒”：打针换药、护理患者、监测生命体征……毕业后到武汉大学人民医院，朱庭萱主动报名担任机动护士，医院里哪个科室需要就赶到哪里。因此，这种火线增援的任务对她来说并不陌生。
在抗击新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎疫情战斗中，护士们在进入隔离病房时需要穿上防护服。“我很幸运自己不是容易出汗的体质。有的同事下班脱掉防护服，里面的护士服整个都被汗水湿透了。”朱庭萱说。
和朱庭萱一起前往金银潭医院增援的杨宇成则没有那么幸运。他说，工作中需要戴上两层手套和两层鞋套，防护面罩上的雾气也常常令他的视线变得模糊。
“刚开始出汗特别多，甚至有一些缺氧的感觉。最困难的是打针，戴上手套后，对患者血管的触感不是很好，而护理工作要求所有操作都必须精确。”杨宇成说。
“除了换药，还要照顾患者的生活起居，帮重症患者大小便。有的患者心里不舒服也会喊，碰到这种情况我们要耐心跟他们解释，开导他们，给他们打气。”杨宇成说。
令朱庭萱最难忘的是同事间的相互鼓励。“在那里工作的同事很多都跟我一样是’90后’。由于穿上防护服后只能看到眼睛，可能连对方的长相都不知道。但大家在换班的时候，都会互相说一声加油。”她说。
25日，武汉大学人民医院派出的新一批增援人员启程出发，朱庭萱、杨宇成被接替回来观察、休整。谈到对这一段难得的轻松时间如何安排，朱庭萱简单利落地回答了四个字“看剧、躺着”。
对于是否会重返抗击疫情前线，朱庭萱和杨宇成给出了一样的答案。
“妈妈告诉我，我在一线的这段时间，父亲经常晚上睡不着觉。但是如果需要，我一定会重返岗位。既然选择了这个职业, 我有责任去帮助那些患者，分担同事们的压力，这是我的价值所在。”杨宇成说。
“如果我不去，别人就要去，在这份责任面前必须有担当。大家对医生护士一定要有信心，我们不会放弃你们。同时，大家也要好好地做好防护措施。”朱庭萱说。
还有很多支援湖北医疗队在武汉市金银潭医院发生的感人故事，未能一一展开，在这里同样向你们致以最崇高的敬意。
（新华社武汉2020年1月26日电记者王作葵、乐文婉、方亚东）

那些发出的感谢信
一方有难，八方支援。自2020年1月24日除夕之夜起，全国各地医务人员紧急驰援，与金银潭人一起手拉手、心连心，并肩作战、攻坚克难，使新冠肺炎疫情得到有效遏制，患者的诊疗质量得到大大提升。
金银潭医院发出的一•封封感谢信，是感谢和感恩，是问候和致敬，体现的是武汉人民、湖北人民、全国人民勸力同心，众志成城抗击疫情的强大中国力量和中国精神。

金银潭抗疫纪事

第六章
金银潭医院之外
当金银潭医院内发生着一连串惊心动魄、感人至深的故事时，医院围墙之外，武汉2100多个社区，数以万计的基层社区工作人员和3.8万名警务人员同样在为守护人民群众的生命安全而战。
在历史上，人们从未比现在更关注社区；也从来没有哪座城市，比武汉管控社区的力度还要大。
抗击疫情有两个阵地，一个是医院救死扶伤阵地，一个是社区防控阵地。社区胜则武汉胜，武汉胜则湖北胜，湖北胜则全国胜。

2020年1月23 S,武汉封城首日，乘客搭乘最后一班地铁。（第六章图片除有特殊说明外均为新华社记者冯国栋拍摄）
社区工作的重中之重：
确保900万居家市民生活
地处中国版图天元位置的武汉，是中国乃至世界上都少有的特大城市。常住人口超过1000万，流动人口超过300万，总人口数近1500万。

2020年1月29日，大年初五，武汉的街上几乎看不到车辆。
武汉封城时临近春节，除约500万人流出武汉外，全市约有900万人口留守江城。
留守人口的稳定与生活保障成了武汉能否取得抗疫斗争胜利的重要一环。
在武汉还没有对居民小区进行封闭管理时，我们探访了地处武汉市青山区钢都花园123社区服务中心。
这里是原武汉钢铁公司职工最集中居住的小区之一。
我们到达时，社区工作人员正在分配民政部门刚刚发放的青菜、水果和食品等生活物资。
123社区成立于2001年，位于武汉市青山区二环外，离武汉市中心有一定距离。由于住户多为同单位的职工，这个社区与外界沟通并不像市中心社区那样频繁、密切。
连日来，123社区加大了各小区发热患者的排查力度和对外来人员的进出管控。小区现有门栋132栋，住户1916户，常住人口 6312人，春节期间留在社区的有4226人，占常住人口 2/3。其余1/3住户在武汉“封城”前就已外出，多是走亲访友。
社区书记赵旭玲介绍，疫情发生后，社区主要在信息发布、生活保障和分级筛查三方面釆取了措施：
一是信息渠道要24小时畅通。社区工作人员主要通过电话、微信和“微邻里”软件发布权威信息。“微邻里”是武汉市打造的一个便民服务平台。“像我们武汉市发的《致市民群众一封信》和《青山区发给居民的公开信》，还有抗击疫情的相关通告，全部都通过’微邻里’来发布。疫情发生后，平台还新增了发热患者信息上报等功能。对于不常用智能手机的独

2020年2月1日上午，武汉市青山区钢都花园123社区“天天敲门组”为居民提供服务。

居、空巢老人，社区通过大喇叭确保重要信息通知到位。”赵旭玲说。
今年49岁的赵旭玲告诉我们，她的母亲在孝感老家，从春节前一直病危（与新冠肺炎无关），她却由于武汉“封城”和忙碌的工作根本无法回家探望。“母亲去世，我都没法回家。社区的事情太多，400。多人的生命和安危都必须盯着。”赵旭玲几度哽咽。
我们了解到，和她工作强度类似的基层工作人员并不在少数。基层工作中女同志较多，她们不得不抛下家务事，不分白昼黑夜保障社区运转。一天打100个电话是常态。
二是确保生活保障。1月23日武汉实施“封城”后，公共交通停摆、大小餐饮店春节放假，这给社区百姓的生活和出

行带来诸多不便。这时，青山区打造的民生食堂“社区好味到食堂”发挥了很大的作用，保障了特殊时期社区居民的日常饮食需求。
我们来到食堂探访时，食堂员工正在准备午饭。
一位厨师说，食堂每天能保证至少2—3个菜品，每天服务的困难群体有100个人，对于行动不方便的独居、空巢老人等，社区还通过“天天敲门组”工作人员，为他们送服务。一袋米、一盒药、一碗热饭・••…只要群众提出的合理要求，社区工作人员立马响应，为困难群众提供物质上和精神上的定心丸。
同时，社区还配备了 3辆应急交通车，满足居民出行需求。尹志鸿是“曹操出行”的专车司机，根据社区统一安排，他每天工作8小时，穿着防护服，义务开车送社区群众外出买药，或到医院就诊。
三是实施分级筛查。123社区对发烧居民实施分级筛查。社区居民出现发热情况后，第一时间上报给网格员。网格员先是建立一人一档，再联系社区卫生服务中心进行筛查。如果病情轻微，则指导发热居民在家服药；确实需要到医院门诊看病的，再建议他们去看病。
“疫情来得凶猛，有些居民特别恐慌。加上秋冬季节感冒确实也比较多。刚开始’封城’时，我们每天忙于接居民打来的电话。后来，社区卫生服务中心给发烧的患者开了药，吃了之后，烧降下来了。接到的电话就少了。”社区书记赵旭玲说。

2020年2月1日上午，司机尹志鸿为社区提供交通出行服务。

谈到抗击疫情的感悟，赵旭玲说：“基层的社区干部，对居民是一个安慰，一颗定心丸。做好群众工作就是我的一切, 我已融入社区工作的方方面面。沟通到位，保障到位，可以在很大程度上避免恐慌。”
社区书记：我恨不得变成孙悟空
防控疫情，社区是关键。
新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，武汉的每一个社区工作者，都奋战在抗疫一线。
董守芝是江汉区唐家墩街西桥社区书记，这个社区距离华南海鲜市场不足两公里，居民有16000多人，防控难度可想

武汉疫情热力图，红色部分为发热患者聚集区。

2020年2月17日下午，武汉市江汉区唐家墩街西桥社区对人员进行排查。

而知。
从1月23日开始，她就夜以继日地投身工作，开通社区之音、开展拉网式大排查、对社区进行封闭式管理……董守芝裝京, 每天能接100多个电话，恨不得变成孙悟空，多分几个身出来, 为自己做事。
以下是董守芝的讲述：
我是西桥社区书记，从1993年开始，就从事社区工作。
目前，我所在的西桥社区有两大特点：人多、老旧小区多，管理难度非常大。社区常住人口有16000多，7351户居民，社区里有11个老旧小区，442栋平房区，有物业管理的小区只有 6个。
社区的工作人员有25名。疫情发生以来，我们一直在防控一线。面对小区的各种状况，我和同事们也会感觉压力很大。
后来，来了 59个区机关干部，他们下沉到一线，帮我们解决了很多难题，分摊了许多压力。小区封闭之后，他们也派人到路口值守。
1月23日封城之后，我就一直没有休息，投入到疫情防控一线工作当中。疫情发生以来，我们社区主要采取了三个措施——
第一，开通社区之音，滚动播报各类通告和提示。我们把省市发布的公告和疫情提示，在广播里循环播放；第二，开展拉网式大排查，通过网络上报和电话的方式，及时发现发热患者，准确上报；第三，进行封闭式管理，原来的37个路口，现在只剩17个开着，每个路口都有志愿者值守。刚开始，很多居民不理解，感觉出入不便，但我们还是尽最大努力向大家解释，让他们理解。

西桥社区党群服务中心
了解到社区内有500户特困人员，包括生病的患者、隔离人员、老人和一些困难户。我和同事们上门送药、送粮油、送菜、送关爱。每天，我和同事们平均要给一百多户居民送菜、送药，保障居民的日常生活物资。
前段时间，从社区旁边的酒店打来一通求助电话。
原来，这是住在酒店的一家三口，他们是红安县人，是年前到武汉儿童医院给孩子看病的。
1月23日封城，他们就回不去了，一直在酒店隔离，现在已经弹尽粮绝了，连给孩子买奶粉的钱都没有。
接到消息，我和同事们就在社区拿了一些防护用品，包括本就不够用的口罩，还有方便面等食物送到酒店，还帮他们申报了 3000元的救济金，心想起码孩子买奶粉的钱是有了。
疫情发生之后，我每天都得接100多个电话，手机24小时开机，就怕漏接一个电话。从年前开始，每天19个小时都在工作，真正休息的时间只有五六个小时。
现在恨不得自己变成孙悟空，一根汗毛就能变一个分身，这样就能有精力去做更多的事情了。
社区工作压力很大，最近几天，我接到同事打来的电话，她在电话那头哭得很厉害。我年纪比他们大点，遇到这种情况我会安慰他们，然后大家再一起继续投入战斗。
现在，我有个心愿，就是希望疫情赶紧过去。等疫情过去之后，我就找个有山的地方大睡三天三夜，好好休息一下。
拉网式大排查
“请大家按登记表全面排查。住址、姓名、联系电话要登记好。情况特殊的要备注清楚。” 2月17日下午，我们再次来到唐家墩街西桥社区时，董守芝和20多位社区工作人员正在开会布置任务。
当天，一场为期3天的拉网式大排查在武汉3300多个社区、村湾同步展开。
“有人在家吗？ ”在西桥社区三眼桥一村小区，网格员易君与社区派出所民警熊松，以及下沉到社区的3名特警对一处出租房进行排查。房东说，春节前几天，里面的租客一直咳嗽， “这几天没听到动静，担心他出事。”
开门的是位小伙子。易君先用无接触式体温仪测量了他的体温，确认没有发烧，随后又详细询问了他的健康状况。民警核验了租客的身份，叮嘱他待在屋内不要出门。临走时，易君登记了租客的电话，“遇到问题请跟我联系。”
西桥社区是“万人社区”，因距离最先发现疫情的华南海鲜市场不到两公里，疫情较重。
董守芝说，春节至今，社区深入宣传“发热不上报”的危害, 广泛发动居民通过电话或微信平台，主动上报发热情况。
“这次拉网式大排查，目标是确保不漏一户、不漏一人。重点排查与新冠肺炎相关的所有人员，还包括危重在家的基础病患者，比如尿毒症透析患者、恶性肿瘤、其他疾病重症患者，以及孕产妇。”董守芝说。
武汉市要求本次排查要做到五个“百分百”：确诊患者百分百应收尽收、疑似患者百分百核酸检测、发热患者百分百进行检测、密切接触者百分百隔离、小区村庄百分百实行24小时封闭管理。
“董主任，我在电视上看到你了，你现在怎么痩得这么狠哪？我年纪大了，不能给你帮忙，我一点力都出不了。我老伴说我，这么大岁数了，待在家里不给社区添乱，就是给董主任帮忙了。你要保重身体啊！”
一通来自90多岁的叶婆婆的电话，让董守芝倍感暖心。新

2020年2月17日，武汉市江汉区唐家墩街西桥社区民警正在展开排查。当天, 一场为期3天的拉网式大排查在武汉3300多个社区、村湾同步展开。

2020年2月17日下午，武汉市江汉区唐家墩街西桥社区网格员易君（中）社区人员和派出所民警熊松（左一）对出租房进行排查。

冠肺炎疫情发生以来，董守芝一直奋战在社区防控一线。从年前开始，董守芝和同事们就开始在社区清楼道、清屋顶、清死角，做大扫除，用消毒液在整个社区开展消杀。
社区是疫情防控的第一道防线。疫情蔓延后，西桥社区里，社区群干与街道相关部门、物业公司、志愿者、网格党支部成员、社区卫生服务中心等通力协作，各方力量拧成一股绳，确保服务不断档。
给董守芝底气和信心的，还有来自家人的关爱。董守芝的老伴身体不好，但总是力所能及地帮她做点事。只要她一到家，老伴总会叮咛她加强营养、注意休息，又给她冲热水袋，暖手暖脚。
“自己年龄大了，又患有高血压，儿子儿媳不想让我太操劳。他们很担心我，一再叮嘱我要照顾好自己。”董守芝说，每天看看3个月大的孙子的照片，是一种特别的慰藉。
没有一个冬天不可逾越，没有一个春天不会到来。
说起疫情结束后社区的优先事项，董守芝不假思索：“安排好值班，让同志们都休息一下，让他们养好元气再来投入工作。“
2月22日清晨6点，年过六旬的董守芝已出门，步子又快又急。
一个多月来，身为武汉市江汉区唐家墩街西桥社区书记的她，没睡过一个安稳觉。
疫情中，中老年人是高危人群，但董守芝像年轻人一样，楼道消杀、入户排查、上门送菜，样样抢着干。
“从1993年开始，我就在这个社区工作了，对每家每户、一草一木都很有感情，这个时候，绝不能退缩。”董守芝说。
西桥社区地处老城区，城中村密集。除11个老旧小区、3 个自助物业小区外，还有422栋平房，65岁以上居民占八成，不少居民不会上网“团购”。实行封闭式管理后，这些居民的生活所需全靠社区配送。
24名社区干部，加上50多名市、区下沉干部和党员志愿者，承担着16000多人的柴米油盐和日常管控，任务繁重。
2月21日，她联系到一批蔬菜送到小区。
运菜车刚停稳，她就带领大家，一口气将满满4卡车蔬菜运进社区，3小时没歇气。送菜司机钦佩地竖起大拇指：“西桥的女将，真厉害！”
“小周，你把这些药先拿去，给你妈妈用，社区里的药回
来后，再给你们送些去。” 2月22日下午2点，董守芝拿着倍他乐克、波立维、可定等降压药，打电话给无线电厂小区居民周汉胜。
董守芝说，周汉胜的母亲患有高血压，家中储备的降压药吃完了。防疫管控措施升级后，这类药只能由社区统一到定点医疗机构领取。
“上午，赶去取药的社区干部打电话回来说，前面还有80 多个社区在排队，不知道要等多久才能领到。”深知此类药物不能停，她便从自己每天服用的降压药里，匀了一些出来，给周汉胜家“救急”。
在董守芝看来，为群众办事，不仅要办成，更要办好，“这个时候，我们社区干部再难也要顶上去！”
新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，武汉社区干部一直奋战在防控一线，倾情服务站好岗，用“身心投入”的方式，书写着社区抗疫的“答卷”。
这是一场没有硝烟的战争，也是一个争分夺秒的“考场”，需要筑牢基层堡垒，守好社区这个“第一防线”。

Liu Yuqing: /* Please write your topic here first */

Back to course homepage [[Chinese_Language_and_Culture_Fall_2022]].

'''This is the final exam paper overview page.'''

Every student needs to find a topic, which is not in the textbook and has not been presented in class. Please check your topics in regard of this. All topics are ok except for those with red marks. Please suggest a new topic instead and wait for the teacher to remove the red marks.

=Tips to write your paper=
1. Every student should write a new English text '''not longer than 1,000 words''' on a phenomenon in Chinese culture as a new chapter in the text book. Please write the English topic both, behind your name on the bottom of this page and on the subpage [[20221231_LangCult_1]], [[20221231_LangCult_2]] etc. of the final exam subpage where you actually write your paper.

2. Please find a paper you want to proof read, contact the author, proof read (by copying each paragraph and make corrections/suggestions in the copy) . Please proof read a fellow students' paper by copying each paragraph and make your corrections in the paragraph. In a final step, the original author of the paper has to decide, what of the corrections he/she will accept and work into the paper. The final version submitted on the deadline should not carry any of the fellow student's paragraphs and comments.

*You can use the texts in the coursebook as an example (like Unit 1, Text A). You only need to write Text A (like "Longevity Noodles") or Text B ("Mooncakes"), not a whole Unit. But please try to find fellow students who topics fit under the same Unit title ("Festival Meals") and arrange it accordingly.
*In the topic, please write the category, then the topic - your name and student no.
*For the text, please indicate ALL SOURCES with bibliographical references. That means: At least for every paragraph, sometimes for single sentences, you have to indicate at the end, where you have found this information. E.g. (Liu Miqing 2010, 17). This means you have found it in the book or paper written by Ms Liu on page 17.
*Add a section at the end called "References".
*Please also add a list "Terms and Expressions".
*Please add a "Questions" section.
*Please add a "Answers" section.
*Please use at least 3 English sources and 2 Chinese sources
*Please make sure to indicate after each paragraph the literature you refer to, e.g. (Wang 2021:324) or (Peterson 2020:12). Of course all of this literature needs to be indicated in detail in the References section in both English and Chinese. (So English literature needs to be indicated together with a Chinese translation of the bok title and the other way round.)

==Tips for writing your final exam paper: How to indicate your references==
*You can use the existing book chapters here as an example.
*Please write the text and indicate ALL SOURCES with bibliographical references. That means: At least for every paragraph, sometimes for single sentences, you have to indicate at the end, where you have found this information. E.g. (Liu Miqing 2010, 17). This means you have found it in the book or paper written by Ms Liu on page 17. And then, you need to add a section at the end called "References". There you write the full version of the reference: Liu Miqing 刘宓庆. (2010). ''翻译基础'' [Translation Basis]. Shanghai: East China Normal University 华东师范大学. Similarly, you do it for papers: Jin Wenlu 靳文璐. (2019). 机器翻译可以取代人工翻译吗? [Can machine translation replace human translation?]. ''智库时代'' Think Tank Times (40) 282-284.
*Do '''not''' write any references like in one of the sample chapters:

[1] dsalkfkdsa

[2] adsfadsfag

But only the following way:

(Liu Miqing 2010, 17) in the text

and then

'''References'''

=== Introduction ===
Dream, a common physiological phenomenon, happens during our sleep. It is a mixture of real and unreal, attracting many scholars through all ages to make researches on it. In China, the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams and Huangdi Neijing are two famous books in dream’s interpretation. “Dating back to the Zhou Dynasty, dream officers gave a great push to dream classification. According to Zhouli Chunguan, dream officers divided dreams into six types by observing the positions of the sun, the moon and the stars.” (王健 2012，217) As for Huangdi Neijing in the pre-Qin period, it related dreams to people’s the five internal organs and Yi Yang, etc. (王健 2012，217).
For the West, the most famous book of dream interpretation is The Interpretation of Dreams, which was written by Sigmund Freud. This book is based on Artemidorus’ book—Interpretation of dreams, and combines with Freud’s clinical experience. Whereafter, many masters in psychoanalysis like Carl Gustav Jung and Alfred Adler have shown up, starting to study dreams from different perspectives.

=== The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams ===
The book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams is a fortune-telling book according to people’s dream. Because the book is of uncertain day, so some would be doubtful for its existence. After reading the remark of Chang Feng-i, Roberto Keh Ong “tentatively proposes that the Chou-kung chieh meng was already in existence, and quite popular at that, in the sixteenth century.” (Roberto Keh Ong 1981, 6) Since the beginning sentence of the book is “夜有纷纷梦，神魂预吉凶”, “This sets the tone of the text, which means that those good fortune or bad fortune symbolized by dream are omens presented by spirits or ghosts.” (贠培基 2012, 46) But what is affirmative is that the book has a great influence in China, providing the basis of dream interpretation and enlightening people to focus on dream.
In Zhouli Chunguan, it divided dreams into six different types, they are 正、噩、思、悟、喜、惧, which indicates that how the dreams come into existence and their nature. “正梦” means an ordinary dream without causing any pulse; “噩梦”，means a stunning dream; “思梦”means a dream that misses others or thinking about something; “悟梦”means a daydream; “喜梦”means a dream that makes you feel happy; “惧梦” means a horrible dream that makes people frightened.
In the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams, there are four methods of dream interpretation:
 The method of Zhi Meng. It means what you see in the dream will happen in the reality.
 The method of Ce Zi. “The oneiromancer departs a Chinese character into several parts and endows them with special symbolic meaning, and uses these meaning to tell the fortune.” (汤叶舟 2015, 84）
 The method of Xie Yin. It means the oneiromancer compare the dream with the omen in reality, and find out the same pronunciation of them to judge the dream is good or not good.
 The method of Yi Xiang. It means to highlight a single thing in the dream then endow it with special meaning. And the omen from the dream would be got after comparing it with the reality.

=== Huangdi Neijing ===
Huangdi Neijing is the first medical book in China, which contains Lingshu and Suwen these two sections. “This book uses Huangdi as a part of its name, which is finished between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is not finished in a short time, an also be done with only one man. It comprehensively summarizes medical achievements before the Qin and Han Dynasties, laying the foundation of theoretical basis of TCM.” (王凤香 2007，23)
Though it is a medical book, it also refers to oneirology, and analyzes the causes of dream, the mechanism of dream formation and the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome.
Huangdi Neijing explores the reason why dreams happen in many aspects, and there are six points about it:
 The attack of Liu Yin Xie Qi. In TCM, Liu Yin Xie Qi means six pathogenesis cause by eternal stimulus: wind, coldness, heat (often happens in the summer), wetness, dryness, and heat. When failing to adapt to the changeable weathers, people may feel ill and then dreams occur.
 The influence brought by the change of Qiqing. Qiqing refers to seven emotions: happiness, anger, concern, missing, sorrow, scare and fear. Huangdi Neijing reckons that they would happen in dreams, thus their variations in dreams could reflect the physiological and pathological basis of different viscera.
 The dysfunction of viscera.
 The qi of yin and yang in the human body becomes over strong or over weak.
 The state of the body itself.
 Inappropriate treatment.
About the mechanism of dream formation, the book uses these four theories to analyze it: Yin Yang theory, Five-element theory, viscera picture theory and Ying Wei theory.
In terms of the syndrome differentiation and treatment of dream syndrome, Huangdi Neijing takes Yin and Yang as the general principle of dream syndrome differentiation, brings the syndrome differentiation of viscera into the system of dream syndrome differentiation, and carries out the etiological analysis and differentiation. For the treatment of dream syndrome, the book states that one is to implement the general principle of “实则泻之，虚则补之”; and the other one is “合于五诊”.

=== The Interpretation of Dreams ===
The Interpretation of Dreams is a psychological work by Sigmund Freud, a psychologist from Austria and the founder of psychoanalysis. He interprets dreams by many experiments with a rational thinking, and pioneers modern dream interpretation.
In this book, “Freud argues that dreams contain meaningful information about the dreamer’s unfulfilled, unconscious wishes.” (William J. Jenkins 2017, 10) That is to say that in Freud’s perspective, dream represents a wish-fulfilment. And he also uses an example to explain it: “If, in the evening, I eat anchovies, olives, or other strongly salted foods, I am thirsty at night, and therefore I wake. The waking, however, is preceded by a dream, which has always the same content, namely, that I am drinking.” And he draws a conclusion on it: “From this sensation arises the wish to drink, and the dream shows me this wish as fulfilled.” (Sigmund Freud 1999, 25-26)
Therefore, Freud mainly uses psychoanalysis to interpret dreams, which is quite different from Chinese dream interpretation methods. And what is the most different point is that he uses sex to interpret dreams from a perspective of a psychologist, so he presents the famous Oedipus complex and Electra complex in this book.

中国古代的科举制度
===摘要===
科举考试是封建王朝通过考试选拔官员和人才的制度。科举制度对中国古代产生了深远的影响。因此，了解和研究科举制度是非常必要和有意义的。本文将介绍科举制度的起源和发展，详细描述科举制度的类型和内容，最后阐述科举制度的意义。
===Introduction===
===Origin===
During the Wei, Jin dynasties, the emperor adopted the method of "Nine-rank system" to select talents. However, the system was controlled by powerful families, and only the children of senior officials could be officials, which led to the solidification of the class and the inability to appoint people on the basis of capability. Whereas, in order to consolidate their rule, the rulers also gradually changed their talent selection. Some contents of the imperial examination had already sprout in the Han Dynasty, but this paper still considers the Sui Dynasty as the real origin. The book ''Datang Xinyu'' wrote by Liu Su said:" Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed the Ming and Jin two subjects"(周奇金滢坤, 2022). It was the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who changed the examination to regular, held every year, further carried forward, and finally became a clear beginning of the system.
Emperor Yang Jian of Sui dynasty understood the danger of being subject to the high rank and nobility, abolishing the "Nine-rank system". He carried out the system of selecting scholars by subject, and set up state and county schools to test students, and the state could also send talents to the central government for examination and employment. Emperor Yang set up Jinshi Branch, the school students can directly apply for the school, not to the state, county entrance examination, after passing the state, county sent to the central examination(李亚彬, 2020). Sui Dynasty broke through the old rules of the previous dynasties and created a considerable number of new subjects, which started the system of the Tang Dynasty. The standard of selecting talents gradually changed from morality to examination.
===Development===
However, Sui dynasty lasted only thirty-seven years, which meant that the imperial examination system had been introduced in the Sui dynasty but could not be further developed. Therefore, the important task was carried out by the rulers of the Tang dynasty. Tang dynasty attached great importance to the cultivation and selection of talents. After the founding of the Tang dynasty, several generations of rulers put the emphasis on to the imperial examination and took relevant measures. The first emperor of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan put forward the regular date of“every october”to go to the court for examination, and clarified the local pre-examination of the state and county, which is equivalent to the "Provincial Examination" method of later generations. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, greatly expanded the scale of the college, the school cottages and increased the number of students. Wu Zetian set up a military examination. It held by the Ministry of War examiners, mainly to assess students 'military strength. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, poetry and Fu became the main examination content of Jinshi. Also, during his reign, the court admitted many talented people. The method of selecting scholars by poetry and Fu also greatly promoted the prosperity of Tang poetry(王一汕, 2010).
Song Dynasty was also an important period for the development and reform of the imperial examination system. After the development of Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system of Song Dynasty became mature and complete(邓叶倩, 2019). For one thing, in terms of the form, in Song dynasty, the emperor's personal visit to the palace examination turned into a custom. At the same time, reform measures such as sealing and transcription were taken. Sealing(Mi Feng), that is, the examinee's name, native place and other records on the examination paper sealed up. Transcription is that the palace examination papers will be sent to copy by other people, and then examine the official review. These measures greatly increased the fairness of the examniation, so that more talented and learned people can enter the officialdom, and these reforms even had a profound impact on the modern examination system. However, these measures required a large amount of manpower and material resources, so by the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Song dynasty, the imperial examination was officially held every three years. For another, as for the content, Song dynasty strengthened the status and importance of Ce Lun in the imperial examination. With the rise of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty, the ability of thinking also became an important standard for assessment. In the Song Dynasty, the emperors abolished the examination of poetry and Fu, and replaced it with the examination of the meaning, theory and policy of the classics.
Since then, the basic form and content of the imperial examination system tend to be complete. The imperial examination was held every three years, mainly divided into the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination and the palace examination. In the autumn, the provincial examination was held by each state, The first name is Jieyuan. The metropolitan examination was held in the spring of the following year by the Ministry of Rites, the first name will be called Huiyuan. The palace examination was held in the following month and presided over by the emperor. The first name was Zhuangyuan. Getting the first place three times in a row is known as the "the three consecutive Yuan(Lian Zhong San Yuan)", and ancient China has also appeared such talents. Through the layer upon layer selection at district, provincial and national levels, outstanding talents are called “jinshi”. Such elites obtained qualifications to enter the final examination hosted by the emperor, and were conferred different ranks official positions according to their performance. Because of this, the imperial examination system (keju) had become the main way for all civilians to start their official careers (Ho, 1962).
===Completion===
The Yuan dynasty saw an eighty-year suspension of the imperial examinations, which were later restored, but with increasing inequality, mainly to protect the privileges of the Mongols and reduce the number of Han officials. This phenomenon did not change until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the period when the imperial examination system was flourishing, but it was also the period when it was ending.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial power gradually reached its peak. In order to consolidate the imperial power, the rulers took the imperial examination system as the most important tool to absorb talents. The social atmosphere gradually changed, and many scholars took the imperial examination as their lifelong goal, and "To be a scholar is to be the top of society." became the motto of most scholars at that time.
With the increasing importance of the imperial examination, the emperors carried out a series of reforms on it. First, the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties became a huge system with various levels, rules and regulations. In addition to the above-mentioned several types of examinations, there are new types of examinations: the imperial examinations to admit scholars and county examination(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022), a total of five types of examinations. As a result, many people began to study hard for the imperial examination from a very young age, devoting their whole lives to the imperial examination system. The minimum age for the examination was greatly lowered during this period.
In terms of examination content. To further strengthen their rule and control over the people's thoughts, the rulers of the Qing dynasty limited the imperial examinations to stereotyped writing(bagu). The stereotyped writing(bagu) are that the paragraphs written in the examination articles are fixed, and the scope of the examination is also set and limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, and no other ideas are allowed to exist. Under the implementation of this kind of policy, the stereotyped writing fettered the scholar's thought, and the theory of Chengs and Zhu Xi became rigid under the guidance of the imperial examination system. Scholars have spent their whole lives studying the writing of stereotyped writing, lacking understanding of politics and social reality. Intellectuals 'thinking is solidified and they weren’t able to think out of box. Gu Yanwu, the great mind in late Ming dynasty, once said: "The harm of stereotyped writing is equivalent to burning books." From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the advantages of selecting scholars from stereotyped writing increasingly decreased and the disadvantages gradually increased, which became one of the important factors for the stagnation of national development and the decline of national strength in the late Qing Dynasty.
===End===
In the late Qing Dynasty, due to foreign aggression, China continued to cede territory and pay reparations, and popular discontent ran high. The Qing Dynasty was in serious crisis and emperors wanted to consolidate the rule through reform. Meanwhile, the westernization movement continued to develop, and many western thoughts and ideas spread to China as well(徐云, 2022). Therefore, in order to meet requirements of national development, the content of the imperial examination was constantly adjusted, and the stereotyped writing was gradually abolished. However, the disadvantages of the imperial examination system had been irreversible detrimental and could not become beneficial through reform. Thus, The imperial examination system, frst administered in 605 CE during the Sui dynasty, continued almost uninterrupted until it was finally abandoned in 1905 CE(Barry O’Sullivan, 2022). At this point, the imperial examination system completely withdrew from the stage of history.
Although the imperial examination system had been abolished, it still has had great significance to the modern civil service examination system. This paper thinks that it is meaningful to study and analyze the development and abolition of the imperial examination system.

'''Abstract'''
Chinese people attach great importance to family, which makes family an important part of Chinese culture. The traditional family structure in China mainly consists of Joint Family, stem family, and nuclear family. However, along with the profound changes that have occurred in modern China, the Chinese family structure is also changing, with the nuclear family gradually becoming the dominant family structure and marriage becoming more liberal and the divorce rate increasing. At the same time, there is a growing trend toward gender equality in family relations. Of course, the reasons behind the changes in family structure cannot be separated from the development of society, policy changes, transition in social ideology and even the influence of globalization. In turn, the transition in family structure also has an impact on education and social and economic development.

'''Key Words'''

中国传统家庭结构的变化

'''摘要'''
中国人非常重视家庭，家庭是中国文化的重要组成部分。中国的传统家庭结构主要包括联合家庭、直系家庭、核心家庭。然而，伴随着现代中国发生的深刻变化，中国的家庭结构也在发生变化，核心家庭逐渐成为家庭结构的主导，婚姻变得更加自由，离婚率不断上升。同时，家庭关系中的性别平等趋势也越来越明显。当然，家庭结构变化背后的原因离不开社会的发展、政策的变化、社会意识形态的转型，甚至全球化的影响。反过来，家庭结构的转型也会对教育和社会经济发展产生影响。

'''I. The main types of traditional Chinese family structures'''
1.Joint Family
A joint family is usually a large undivided family where members of more than two generation live together under one roof (grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, their children or even grandchildren). This kind of family is large in size and is usually headed by the eldest member of the family. The responsibility of making decisions rests with the head of the family, although family members can give suggestions. After marriage, the children also live in the same house along with other family members. This family structure was common among wealthy families in ancient China. For example, the family structure in the Dream of the Red Chamber is a typical joint family.
2. Stem family
A stem family consists of parents and one married child, his or her spouse and offspring. It has three generations (or even four), but each generation has at most one couple. It is also known as a medium-sized family. For example, in a stem family, there are grandparents, parents and children, but it does not include uncles and aunts. In terms of size, it is smaller than a joint family while bigger than a nuclear family.
3. Nuclear family
Nuclear family refers to the core members of a family, usually two parents and their children. Children are included only while they’re young enough to live with their parents. This family unit became widely recognized because it’s where many of society’s rules and norms are passed along from parent to child. Sociologists see the concept of a nuclear family as a fundamental building block of society.
'''II. Characteristics of traditional family structure'''
According to the records, in the mid to late 18th century of China, the proportion of nuclear family was over 50%, stem family about 30% and joint family less than 10%. This indicates that nuclear family had become the dominant family form in the society at that time. And the following are the main features within the traditional family structure:
1. Men are Superior to Women and husband guides wife .This feature constitutes the basic structure of the traditional family. As Fei Xiaotong said, the core of a tradition family relationship is the parent-child relationship while the relationship between husband and wife is unimportant.
2. The eldest son has equal inheritance rights with the other brothers. The family became smaller and smaller. Finally, it stayed in the model of a nuclear family. The daughter has no right to inherit, but has the right to get a dowry. The so-called wealth only within three generations is the embodiment of this inheritance system of dividing family assets and the reason why there are few large families in China.
3. Marriage is decided by parents
Children have no marital autonomy. Marriage is often decided by parents. The daughter may have never had any contacts with the husband's family before marrying him, and the wife should be subordinate to her husband.
4. The traditional family has mixed functions, including economic, nurturing, support, affection, support, etc.
'''III. The transition of family structure from traditional to modern.'''
Since the reform and opening up, social resources have been relatively abundant and every aspect of the family has changed dramatically.
1. The family is becoming more nuclearized. Since many of the functions of the family, such as production, education, and support of elders, have been replaced by society. Society has built a large number of nursery schools and nursing homes, it is not necessary to maintain a large family size to perform these functions.
2. Some other types of family structures have emerged. These are: single person families, cohabiting families and even some homosexual cohabiting families.
3. Marriage tends to be autonomous and divorce rate increases. In contemporary times, divorce has also become common, the way of divorce has become more civilized, and more and more divorces are initiated by the wife. In addition, remarriage in old age has been widely accepted by the society, and there is a new trend of the younger generation matching and organizing weddings for their parents.
4. Increasing trend of gender equality in family relations. In today's families, the traditional patriarchy is disappearing and the concept of male superiority over female has been fundamentally changed. There is a tendency for family members to discuss with each other, to make democratic decisions, and to be democratic and egalitarian.
'''IV. Causes behind the changes in family structure'''
1. The One-Child policy has had a huge impact on the structure and size of families in China.
In the late 1970s, The One-Child policy was introduced in China as a national policy. This policy has had a decisive effect on the structure and size of families in China, promoting the trend of the nuclear family. Since the main purpose of the One-Child policy was to reduce the birth rate of each family. Only one child is allowed in urban families and no more than two in rural families (except for ethnic minority areas) and the government was promoting the concept of equality between men and women. A large number of “the only child” are born in cities. In addition, most young married couples live apart from their parents after marriage, thus more and more nuclear families have emerged. The number of empty nest families has also increased.
2. With the development of economy, many responsibilities of the family were assumed by the society, thus nuclear family became more dominating. The tradition family assumed responsibilities such as nurturing children, support the elders and production. But in modern times, economic development has also promoted the division of labor and the development of the social welfare system, and various institutions have emerged in society to help assume some of the family obligations. For example, nursing homes can help take care of the elders, and nurseries or schools can help care for the children. In this way, the adult workforce in the family can devote more energy to their work. In addition, since older couples have pensions and retirement funds after retirement, they can live without relying on their children after retirement, and they prefer to live separately from their children to avoid the tension that may arise between the two generations of couples.
3. The influence of globalization on the family concept in China since the reform and opening up.
Since the opening up, western ideas have come into China, and the younger generation has been increasingly influenced by western family concepts. The emphasis on self-independence in the Western family concept has a great influence on young people. For example, premarital cohabitation, trial marriage, free love, celibacy, gender equality and so on. These concepts have caused an unprecedented impact on the traditional family concept in China. A lot of media reports about western families flooded into our lives, which also had an important impact on our young generation.
'''V. Influences follow the changes'''
1. Impact of changing family structure on family education
The size of the family has shrunk and parents have become more concerned with their children's development. Children are seen as an individual with a sense of independence, personality and individuality, and the goal of parents in raising their children shifted from “glorifying their ancestors” to achieving the all-round development of the child, freedom of personality and perfection of character.
2. The impact of changes in family structure on the economy
As the basic consumption unit of society, the family not only creates new social demand, but also influences social supply. As the population grows and the joint family gradually divides, many new families are created. The rapid increase in the number of households inevitably leads to a simultaneous increase in the demand for many goods, such as housing and furnishings, matching kitchen and sanitary equipment, high-end durable household appliances, furniture sets, cars and household services. In addition, smaller families have more needs for enjoyment and development, higher expectations for their children, and relatively higher expenditures for their children's education and training; With the number of elderly families, especially empty nesters t, continues to increase, there will be a significant increase in elderly living goods and facilities to serve the elderly. These changes in demand structure provide an important basis for corresponding adjustments in the supply structure.

English is one of the major common languages in the world. With the development of economic globalization, more and more people are learning and using English for communication, and in this process, Chinese English has gradually emerged, which has led to many ludicrous incidents in the process of foreign communication in China. This paper discusses the concept of Chinglish, its causes, and its impact on standard English, and also analyses measures to reduce the emergence of Chinglish in order to provide a reference for English learners.
===Key Words===

Liu Yuqing: /* Tips to write your paper */

Back to course homepage [[Chinese_Language_and_Culture_Fall_2022]].

'''This is the final exam paper overview page.'''

Every student needs to find a topic, which is not in the textbook and has not been presented in class. Please check your topics in regard of this. All topics are ok except for those with red marks. Please suggest a new topic instead and wait for the teacher to remove the red marks.

=Tips to write your paper=
1. Every student should write a new English text '''not longer than 1,000 words''' on a phenomenon in Chinese culture as a new chapter in the text book. Please write the English topic both, behind your name on the bottom of this page and on the subpage [[20221231_LangCult_1]], [[20221231_LangCult_2]] etc. of the final exam subpage where you actually write your paper.

2. Please find a paper you want to proof read, contact the author, proof read (by copying each paragraph and make corrections/suggestions in the copy) . Please proof read a fellow students' paper by copying each paragraph and make your corrections in the paragraph. In a final step, the original author of the paper has to decide, what of the corrections he/she will accept and work into the paper. The final version submitted on the deadline should not carry any of the fellow student's paragraphs and comments.

*You can use the texts in the coursebook as an example (like Unit 1, Text A). You only need to write Text A (like "Longevity Noodles") or Text B ("Mooncakes"), not a whole Unit. But please try to find fellow students who topics fit under the same Unit title ("Festival Meals") and arrange it accordingly.
*In the topic, please write the category, then the topic - your name and student no.
*For the text, please indicate ALL SOURCES with bibliographical references. That means: At least for every paragraph, sometimes for single sentences, you have to indicate at the end, where you have found this information. E.g. (Liu Miqing 2010, 17). This means you have found it in the book or paper written by Ms Liu on page 17.
*Add a section at the end called "References".
*Please also add a list "Terms and Expressions".
*Please add a "Questions" section.
*Please add a "Answers" section.
*Please use at least 3 English sources and 2 Chinese sources
*Please make sure to indicate after each paragraph the literature you refer to, e.g. (Wang 2021:324) or (Peterson 2020:12). Of course all of this literature needs to be indicated in detail in the References section in both English and Chinese. (So English literature needs to be indicated together with a Chinese translation of the bok title and the other way round.)

==Tips for writing your final exam paper: How to indicate your references==
*You can use the existing book chapters here as an example.
*Please write the text and indicate ALL SOURCES with bibliographical references. That means: At least for every paragraph, sometimes for single sentences, you have to indicate at the end, where you have found this information. E.g. (Liu Miqing 2010, 17). This means you have found it in the book or paper written by Ms Liu on page 17. And then, you need to add a section at the end called "References". There you write the full version of the reference: Liu Miqing 刘宓庆. (2010). ''翻译基础'' [Translation Basis]. Shanghai: East China Normal University 华东师范大学. Similarly, you do it for papers: Jin Wenlu 靳文璐. (2019). 机器翻译可以取代人工翻译吗? [Can machine translation replace human translation?]. ''智库时代'' Think Tank Times (40) 282-284.
*Do '''not''' write any references like in one of the sample chapters:

[1] dsalkfkdsa

[2] adsfadsfag

But only the following way:

(Liu Miqing 2010, 17) in the text

and then

'''References'''
*Jin Wenlu 靳文璐. (2019). 机器翻译可以取代人工翻译吗? [Can machine translation replace human translation?]. ''智库时代'' Think Tank Times (40) 282-284.
*Liu Miqing 刘宓庆. (2010). ''翻译基础'' [Translation Basis]. Shanghai: East China Normal University 华东师范大学.

==== Wellsand, Benjamin====

离开李家后，漆云良依旧跑步返回村委。跑着跑着，他自己先噗嗤地笑了起来。这种“跑步途中为老百姓看病”的行为，和“走方医”“赤脚医生”颇为相似。他想起孙思邈在《大医精诚》中说“凡大医治病，必当安神定志，无欲无求，先发大慈恻隐之心，誓愿普救含灵之苦”，不觉感慨万千。在医院工作时，他并未真正理解何为“大医”，而现在，当他在目睹了贫困户家里的窘迫后，真正理解了什么叫“无欲无求”，什么叫“恻隐之心”。只有懂得了这些，才能明白人间疾苦，才能心怀慈悲和恻隐，去不管不顾地去解救苦难。在这个过程中，“大医”是绝不会想到一丁点儿私利的。那一刻，他幡然醒悟——其实，无论他的角色是“漆医生”还是“漆书记”，他所干的事情都是为民造福，而在这个过程中，他从未想到过自己的得失。

After leaving Li's house, Qi Yunliang still ran back to the village committee. As he ran, he burst out laughing himself. This behavior of "ordinary people seeing the doctor on the run" is quite similar to "take a prescription medicine" and the "barefoot doctor". He thought of Sun Simiao's ''Great Physician's Sincerity'' saying, "When a great doctor treats a disease, he must calm his mind and resolve his mind. He, without desire or need, must first show compassion and vow to save the suffering of the soul", and was filled with not a little emotion. When he was working in the hospital, he didn't really understand what a "great doctor" was, but now, after witnessing the distress in a poor family, he really understands what it means to "have no need or desire" and what is called "compassion." Only by understanding these, can we understand the suffering in the world, with compassion and sympathy, and relieve the suffering irregardless. In this process, the "great physician" will never think of the slightest self-interest. At that moment, he suddenly realized that it did not matter whether his role was as "Doctor Qi" or "Secretary Qi." What he did was for the benefit of the people and, in the process, he never thought about his own gains or losses.

After leaving Li's house, Qi Yunliang still runs back to the village committee. Running, he laughed himself first. This kind of behavior of "seeing a doctor for the common people on the way of running" is quite similar to "walking doctors" and "barefoot doctors". He remembered that Sun Simiao said in the Great Doctor's Sincerity that "every great healer must calm his mind and resolve his mind. He must have no desire or desire. He first showed great compassion and vowed to save all spiritual suffering". He was filled with emotion. When he worked in the hospital, he did not really understand what a "big doctor" was. Now, after witnessing the embarrassment of poor families, he really understood what it meant to be "no desire, no desire" and what it meant to be "compassion". Only when we understand these things can we understand the sufferings of the world, and we can be merciful and compassionate, and go out of our way to rescue the suffering. In this process, the "big doctor" will never think of any selfish interests. At that moment, he suddenly realized that no matter whether his role was "doctor lacquer" or "secretary lacquer", what he did was to benefit the people, and in this process, he never thought of his own gains and losses.

==== 庄昊康 Zhuang Haokang====

漆云良一直惦记着“驼子”刘健业。这一天，当虎门的一家服装厂捐赠了50多件新衣服后，他专门挑了两件去找刘健业。“驼子”虽身量不高，但却练得一身好武艺——能骑在自行车上到别村
去逛。“驼子”是个单身汉，总是将日子过得懒散邋遢——除了那皱巴而脏污的衣服外，最令人惊骇的，便是那又长又乱，且被污垢头油弄得支棱起来的头发。那不是头发，而是一团黑云。漆云良寻到村里会理发的妇女，递给她一百块钞票，请她帮忙给“驼子”理个发。可对方连忙摆手：“不行不行！那家伙身上味道的闻不得啊！”唉，漆云良不禁为“驼子”叹气——经常忘记洗澡的他，确实像一块移动的调料库，充满了各种浓郁而丰富的味道，让人们想掩鼻躲开。可也不能总是顶着一团黑云走来走去吧？漆云良借了把剪刀后，在村口给“驼子”剪起了头发。

Qi Yunliang has been thinking about "Camel" Liu Jianye. On that day, when a garment factory in Humen donated more than 50 new clothes, he chose two to find Liu Jianye. "Camel" is not tall, but he has a good martial arts training -- he can ride a bicycle to other villages
Go shopping. "Camel" is a bachelor who always lives a lazy and untidy life. In addition to the wrinkled and dirty clothes, the most frightening thing is the long and messy hair, which is made up of dirt and oil. It was not hair, but a cloud. Qi Yunliang goes to find a woman who can cut her hair in the village, hands her a hundred yuan bill, and asks her to help him cut his hair. But the other party quickly waved his hand: "No, no! That guy's smell is too bad!" Alas, Qi Yunliang can't help sighing for "Camel" - he often forgets to take a bath. He really looks like a moving condiment store, full of rich and rich flavors, which makes people want to hide their noses. Can't you always walk around with a black cloud? After borrowing a pair of scissors, Qi Yunliang cut "Camel"'s hair at the entrance of the village.

==== 周子豪 Zhou Zihao====

这是他第一次剪发，虽然从什么经验，但剪刀在手，也就大权在握，只管那么咔嚓咔嚓地剪下去。那个时候，他并非觉得自己是在干好事，而只是简单地换位思考——若那团黑云顶在自己脑门上会怎样？一定会难受得要死吧！这样设身处地的联想后，他在剪发时并非觉得自己是在帮助别人，反而像是自己在帮自己。剔除掉黑云的“驼子”，像变成了另一个人。虽然还是矮小瘦干，但到底还是清爽了许多。“驼子”在照镜子时，眼神里打出一道闪电。陡然间，在他的脸上爆出一个没牙的笑容：“呵呵，呵呵。”继而，他将大拇指高高举起，喉头里的“呵呵，呵呵”变成了“哈哈，哈哈”。漆云良也笑了起来：“谁说你傻！其实你很聪明嘛！”他学着“驼子”的模样，也举起了大拇指高高翘起。这一举动，让“驼子”将嘴巴咧得更大，也愈发热烈地点着头。“驼子”的脸颊上布满热泪——从两颗原本又瘪又硬的眼珠子里，居然能流淌出液体！后来，在漆云良的建议下，村里给“驼子”安装了台电视机，让他在夜晚不要那么孤独寂寞。漆云良还想给“驼子”家装个太阳能热水器，能让他洗上热水澡。在这个村子里，“驼子”是边缘人中的边缘人，然而，“在扶贫的路上，不能落下一个贫困家庭，丢下一个贫困群众。”

==== 周晓兰 Zhou Xiaolan====

看到路灯照耀在村委会文化广场时，漆云良不禁感慨：“环境这么好，得利用起来啊！”他决定每周三的晚上，在这里教村民打太极拳。从“掤捋挤按须认真，上下相随人难进；任他巨力来打我，牵动四两拨千斤”的揽雀尾，再到“意趣环生味无穷，恰似杨柳摆春风；练到优美柔和处，行云流水一般同”的云手，他悉心地纠正着村民们的每一个动作。这些与土地打了一辈子交道的人，手掌像是泥塑的，布满干燥而龟裂的纹路。他们的身躯像一块胡杨木，僵硬得毫无韵律感。“学太极能帮助人们去除浮躁，修身养性，外练筋皮骨，内练精气神。”在漆云良的鼓励下，贫困户蔡新华夫妇、谭发善夫妇、村民李润兰、蔡润娣、村医刘娟红、村支书李文满、镇农业办袁主任、村老妇女主任刘大姐等人，通通成了他的学生。为了方便联系，大家还建立起了一个“斜周太极微信群”。只要到了时间，学员们便跟随老师的身影，挥手踢腿，摆起了架势，让这个小村的夜晚有了别样的气息。

Seeing the street lamps shinning on the cultural square of the village committee, Qi Yunliang thought that it is necessary to take advantage of such favorable conditions. Inspired by such ideas, he decided to teach villagers Tai Chi every Wednesday evening in the square. And he explained patiently every movement to them, including the Grasp the Bird’s Tail which is soft but powerful and the Cloud Hands, soft and fluid. Having worked on the land all their lives, villagers’ hands were like clay with dry and cracked lines, and their bodies blocks of poplar, so stiff and moving without rhythm. “Learning Tai Chi helps cultivate one’s mind, build one’s body and enhance one’s vigor.” Encouraged by such words of Qi, the poor Cai Xinhua and his wife, the poor Tan Fashan and his wife, villager Li Runlan and Cai Rundi, village doctor Liu Juanhong, village secretary Li Wenman, town agriculture office director Yuan, the retired village women’s director Liu Dajie and others all began to learn Tai Chi. And they also set up a WeChat group to keep in touch. Every Wednesday evening, they all followed Qi to practice, livening up the whole village in the evening.

==== 张文琦 Zhang Wenqi ====

这股摩登而时尚的气息，让古老的乡村为之一颤。那些经常喝酒、抽烟、打牌、熬夜的人，被路灯下那整齐的运动场景给震慑住。他们先是紧绷一张张菜黄的脸发愣，然后，再一个个躲进暗处，不好意思露面。
2020年2月4日是立春，天空飘着濛濛细雨。原本，这是春竹拔节的时刻，然而，由于2019年年底爆发的新型冠状病毒疫情，让小村的春天姗姗来迟。小村似乎进入了战备状态，到处都弥漫着一股浓浓的紧张气氛。这天一早，镇委书记和镇长来村里开会，落实了工作重点——要强化临时监测哨卡的巡查，要加大力度进行健康教育，要及时送达与告知疫情信息，要对疫区返回人员加强体温监测，要发放口罩、体温仪和消毒液等防护物资等等。考虑到村里的老年人、慢性病人的抵抗力较差，漆云良便和大家商定了“入户走访，监测体温，不漏一个”的目标。这一天，他的工作重点是到贫困户家测量体温——在41户的172名人员中，包括26名居住在外地的人员，18名从深圳和广州来村的人员。

This modern and fashionable atmosphere brought a frisson of novelty to the ancient countryside. Those who often drank, smoked, played cards and stayed up late, were greatly amazed by the orderly movements under the street lamp. With their tight, sallow faces, they all stared at first. Then, they hid in the dark, embarrassed to show up. In 2020, the spring began on Feb, 4, a drizzling day. That was originally the time for bamboo’s growth. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic at the end of 2019 delayed the coming of spring in this village. The village seemed to be in a state of war readiness, the tense atmosphere suffusing everywhere. On an early morning, the Secretary of the Town’s Party Committee and the head of the town came here for a meeting, and they clarified the priorities of current work, including strengthening the patrol of temporary monitoring posts, enhancing the health education, timely delivering the related information, strictly monitoring the temperature of those back from pandemic-stricken areas, distributing protective materials such as masks, thermometers and disinfectants, etc. In view of the poor resistance of the old and patients with chronic diseases, Qi Yunliang then agreed with others on the goal of “visiting every household, taking everyone’s temperature, without missing anyone”. Today, his major work was to visit the poor households for taking temperatures. Of the 172 persons in 41 households, 26 lived out of the village, and 18 came from Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

==== 张婷 Zhang Ting====

当他来到刘培宗家时，刘的妻子张富香热情地招呼刀：“漆书记来了！快进来坐！”正在劈柴的老刘听闻，即刻丢下柴刀进了门。巧得很，老刘的两个女儿宝莲和涓莲也都在家，齐声向漆书记问好。这个家看起来相当简朴，但却十分和乐。漆云良想起自己第一次来的时候，简直卖不开步子——那间老屋又黑又小，岌岌可危。现在，全家人都搬进了新居，每个人的脸上都喜气洋洋；现在，这个家终于把“村里唯一没有完成危房改造”的帽子给摘掉了。在测量体温时，漆良云对老两口叮嘱道：“出门一定要戴口罩啊！”他不厌其烦地演示戴口罩的正确方式，还告诉他们，他到别人家也会这么说的。在村里住久了，他已相当了解村民的心里——怕自己戴口罩给邻居们笑话。

==== 张思诗 Zhang Sishi====

他拿出个红包塞给宝莲：“你在学校要好好读书，在家里要多做家务活，还要对爸妈多讲些防疫知识啊。”宝莲即刻点头：“漆书记放心吧，我一定让爸妈出门时戴上口罩！”原本，他以为劝说戴口罩是个达难题，但现在，就这样迂回地解决了，心里一阵高兴。他感慨，有些干部虽然心肠很好，但工作方式稍显粗暴，好像总是在对不上的时间里，说了接不上的话题，和村民的关系反而越努力越疏离。临出门时，他还不忘和男主人谈及收成。老刘显得相当坦然——原本农作物会有6万多元的收入，但现在受疫情影响，可能会少一点，但总体还是可以的。漆云良又叮嘱了几句，这才出发去另一户人家。

==== 张祺葳 Zhang Qiwei====

测体温看起来并不费劲，但却非常耗时。况且，当他这样一户户挨着量时，总是不忘询问收成如何，有无困难。他用最朴素的语言讲解疫情，反复强调“不聚会、少出门、勤洗手”的重要性。等走访完西坑8户26个人后，已到下午一点。同事摸了摸肚子所：“饿了吧？”漆云良却笑道：“要不，一鼓作气，把黄石坑和瑶前村的五户也走访完？”“走！让我们跟时间赛跑！”简单的午饭后，他们又去了小枧坑、大印头和黄溪水村。等晚上七点半回到村委时，他们已走访了38家贫困户，测量体温126人，电话随访居住外地的贫困人口26人，监测外来人员18人，发放宣传单150余份。这些事做起来，根本无法行云流水，反而粘滞琐碎，然而，大疫当前，唯有把这些小事做细致做踏实，才能取得真正的成效。

==== 张珂珂 Zhang Keke====

这天晚饭后，漆良云并没有合衣安眠，而是再次出门——他还要去哨卡巡视。原来，自从打响防疫战后，村里便在三个道路口设立了临时监测哨卡，用大喇叭播放疫情防控知识，劝阻外地人员暂不返乡，又要监测、登记来往人员的体温，还要防止外来车辆、外来人员进入。在哨卡上值班的，有村干部组、兄弟组、夫妻组、父子组、军人家属组、大学生组等不同组合。大家都绷着一根警惕的弦，认真负责地检查着。巡完哨卡返回村委时，已是夜里九点半。躺在床上后的他依旧心绪不平，琢磨着明天的工作该怎么干才能周到而详尽。他思忖着，农村的防控工作还是要发动群众，让被动防护变成主动防控。那么，要不要在村里搞一次全民健康大宣教？在宣教时，要不要找人演示一下个人防护的过程？他从床上翻身下来，打开笔记本，抄录下毛泽东主席的诗句——“借问瘟君欲何往，纸船明烛照天烧”。

After dinner, Qi Liangyun didn’t sleep in his clothes, instead, he went out again—he still had to patrol at the security posts. Originally, since the epidemic prevention had started, the villagers have set up temporary monitoring checkpoints at three intersections and used loudspeakers to broadcast epidemic prevention and control knowledge to dissuade non-local personnel from returning home temporarily. In addition, they also need to monitor and register the body temperature of commuters, and prevent foreign vehicles and outsiders from entering. There were different combinations of village cadres, brothers, couples, fathers and sons, military families and university students on duty at the checkpoints. Everyone’s mind raced and they were still checking carefully. It was 9:30 p.m. when he returned to the village committee after patrolling the security checkpoints. After lying on the bed, he still felt unsettled and depressed, pondering how to do the work tomorrow in a detailed way. In the meanwhile, he realized the disease prevention and control still needs to mobilize the villagers. Only by doing this, would we turn the passive protection into active protection. Therefore, why not organize a nationwide health education in the village? Why don't we find someone to demonstrate the process of personal protection? He rolled over from the bed, opened his notebook, and copied a poem by Chairman Mao Zedong-"I ask where the plague lord wants to go, the paper boats and candles burn in the sky”

在一个星期天的早上，漆云良从村委出发时，对自己进行了全幅武装——戴草帽、套雨鞋、穿长袖衣、拎矿泉水瓶。步行40分钟后，他来到了谭蒙山的家。老谭身量不高，皮肤黄黑，浑身精瘦。他长着一双大眼睛，但眼尾纹却格外深刻。已经是65岁的人，但他还是家里的主劳力，然而，毕竟年龄不饶人——发际线明显倒退，令老谭的整个前额全都裸了出来；所剩不多的头发也变得花白，连嘴唇和下巴处的胡子也是花白的。老谭的妻子虽然体型高大，但力气却很小，根本干不动体力活；女儿结婚后生育了两个孩子，但年龄都还小，需要大人照顾；女婿虽然年轻力壮，但因常年在深圳打工，家里的活计也帮不上忙。

远远的，山路上走来两个人，都肩扛锄头手提木桶，根本分不出哪一个是书记，哪一个是村民。两个人徒步半小时后，来到一个小山冲。望着满山的油柚、贡柑与沙糖橘，老谭的嘴角微微翘起——这不仅仅是属于他的橘园，还是属于他的希望，他的梦想。老谭是村子里的老高中生，比别人更容易接纳新知识。他家很早就完成危房改造——两层半的水泥平房四方四正，煞是气派。这栋房子虽然花了老谭家的不少财产，但有国家补助的4万元，让老谭又甚是安慰。老谭很注意学习种植技术——在山上的这300多棵柑橘，长势一直良好，预测收成会不错。
进入橘园后，两个人便开始拿着锄头挖水渠——只有渠沟深凹，才能贮存下更多的山泉水，才能浇灌这些果树。漆云良双手握着锄把，用力一挥，让锄头的顶部锋刃咬住地面，再用力向下一弯，抠出一块泥土；然后，再用力一挥，再向下，再抠出另一块！这一块接着那一块，这一块之后还有那一块，这一块和那一块完全不同。

In the distance, two men were walking along the mountain road, both with hoes on their shoulders and buckets on their hands. It was impossible to tell which one was the secretary and which one was a villager. After a half-hour hike, the two men came to a small mountain. Looking at the hills full of pomelo, capers and sugar oranges, the elder Tan slightly smiled-- this is not only his orangery, but also his hope and dream. Elder Tan, used to be a high school student in the village, is more receptive to new knowledge than others. His family had early completed the renovation of a dilapidated two-and-a-half-story concrete bungalow. Although the house cost the family a lot of money, but the state subsidy of 40,000 yuan, let the old Tan feel comfort. Elder Tan is keen to learn planting techniques - the more than 300 citrus trees on the mountain have been growing well and are predicting a good harvest. Once inside the orchard, the two men took their hoes and began to dig the canal, which had to be deep enough to hold more mountain spring water to water the trees. Qi Yunliang held the hoe handle in both hands, and swung it hard to make the top edge of the hoe snap at the ground. Then he bent down hard and dug out a piece of soil. Then, one more swipe, one more downward, and one more piece! This one follows that one, this one follows that one, and this one is completely different from that one.

====余海铭 Yu Haiming====

虽然已经一块接着一块地抠出了泥土，然而，小小的锄头却无法切断深坑内部那根连根的密网。怎么办？只能用最笨的办法——只能是这样一块那样一块地挖下去。通过一次次撞击，最终，让整条渠完全下沉，变身为深深的沟壑。这样的重体力劳动，是漆云良从未遇到过的——年轻时他在老家也干过农活，可那时，他的身子从来不觉得累；后来，他常年从事医务工作，难得有抡起锄头的机会。而现在，他的T恤衫已全部被汗水湿透，黏糊糊地贴在胸腔和后背上；他的手臂因为举着锄头一起一伏，变得僵硬而麻木；他的脚底上沾满了黏糊的泥土，那泥土增加了些许重量，让他每向前挪动一步都格外困难。
Although the soil has been gouged out piece by piece, however, a small hoe can not cut the deep pit inside the dense net of roots. What to do? Can only use the most stupid way - can only be such a piece of that piece of digging down. By hitting it again and again, finally, the whole canal sinks completely, transformed into a deep gully. Such manual labor is something that Qi Yunliang has never had before - when he was young, he also did farming work in his hometown, but at that time, his body never felt tired. Later, he was engaged in medical work for many years, and rarely had the opportunity to do farming work. Now, his T-shirt was drenched in sweat and clung to his chest and back. His arms were stiff and numb from holding the hoe. The soles of his feet were covered with sticky mud, which added a little weight and made it difficult for him to move forward.

这一天的日头格外猛烈，撒下千万条金箭，直愣愣射在他的肩膀上。趁着擦汗之际，漆云良和老谭唠起了家常：“其实啊，你可以接些水管，再弄些开关与喷嘴，把溪水引到橘园里，省得这样一锄头一锄头地挖啊！”然而，老谭却面露犹疑之色，嘴唇紧绷。过了片刻，他忍不住叹息，又降低声调，道出自己的秘密。原来，这片柑橘园才出产，还不知今后收成怎样，所以他不想过多投资，否则，收入会不可逆转地下滑。漆云良不觉纳闷：“现在国家的农村政策这么好，为什么不投资呢？”原来，老谭并非不相信政策，而是觉得没有接班人。老谭再次叹气后，像患者要揭开自己的伤疤般，吐露的词语浸泡着疼痛的感觉：“唉，女婿是上门入赘的，到底不能像儿子那样随便使唤；女儿还要照顾小孩，干农活又没有力气。”漆云良思忖了一会，劝导老谭：“要不，让你女儿多做做女婿的思想工作，打工到底不能干一辈子，还是要把自己的传家宝继承下来嘛。”看老谭的脸色有些缓和，他又给老谭吃上一颗定心丸：“要不这样，等有机会，让我来和你女婿谈一谈。”老谭的眼睛弯了起来，喜上眉梢：“那当然好啊！”漆云良说：“女婿的事情包在我身上，你还是把注意力放在橘园里。我在村里还要干两年，我会来帮你的！”老谭激动地点头说：“我会努力干的！”

==== 杨思吟 Yang Siyin====

中午时分，两个人便从山里返回村中。漆云良将锄头和木桶放回老谭家后，朝村委走去。这时候的阳光，是一天中最为猛烈的，简直像千万道激光辐射而下，令他再次大汗淋漓，连头发都黏成了一缕一缕，裤脚上还粘着泥巴。和村里的乡亲们打照面时，对方的眼里都含着笑意：“漆书记好！”他在点头示意时，不觉哑然失笑。他这副装扮，根本不像一个书记，简直就是一个刚从山里干活回来的村民。虽然浑身黏糊，胳膊和大腿异常疲惫，腰也极为酸痛，但他的心情却甚为愉悦。简单地洗漱了一番后，他在笔记本上写下这样一句话：“脚下有泥土，头顶有灵光。”是的，这是他最近的领悟。他在村里住得越久，越明白与贫困户的相处之道——要把自己整个儿地交出来，要和他们一起吃饭，和他们一起下地劳动，懂得他们碗里的咸淡，懂得他们劳作的艰辛，懂得他们内心的伤痛，他们才会认可你。一旦他们和你建立起亲密的情感关系，他们便会讲出心里话，也愿意接受你提出的建议。

At noon, they returned from the mountains. After putting the hoe and barrel back to Lao Tan's house, Qi Yunliang walked towards the village committee. The sunshine of this time was the strongest in a day, just like thousands of lasers radiating down. He was bathed in sweat again, even his hair stuck into wisps and his trouser legs stuck on muds. When villagers encountered him, they managed a smile and said, “ have a nice day.” He responded with a nod and cracked a laugh. Wearing this, he was not like a secretary at all, but looking like a villager who just returned from working in the mountains. Although his whole body is sticky, with arms and thighs extremely exhausted and waist punishingly sore, he was in an overwhelmingly light mood. After taking a quick shower, he wrote such a sentence in his notebook—with muds under his feet, there is light on his head. This is his recent enlightenment. The longer he lived in the village, the better he understood how to get along with poor households. He need to do everything possible to involve in their life , eating and working in the fields with them and understanding the saltiness in their bowls, the hardships of their work and pain in their heart. Only after all these, they will recognize you. Once they estblished a close emotional relationship with you, they will express their true feelings and be willing to accept your suggestions.

不出几日，听说老谭的女婿从深圳回来，漆云良便赶忙去找小伙子谈心。只见这个年轻人个头很高，大约有一米七八，但却身形稍显单薄精瘦。漆云良开门见山地说：“现在，粤北的农村发展得这么好，你岳父也打好了基础，你再打两年工后，要把重点放回到田里，要以搞农业为主啊！”看到女婿有些愧怍不安，他又趁热打铁地说：“在家里种柑橘，既能致富又能和孩子一起成长，岂不更好？你想想，你已经是两个孩子的父亲了。”女婿像被击中了软肋，浑身一紧，旋即点头倒：“嗯，没问题，再过两年一定回来！”到2019年年底，老谭家的柑橘收入将近4万元，加上其他收入，已完成脱贫指标。漆云良思忖，若是日后女婿能回来继承橘园，这个家便不会存在返贫的危险。

A few days after that, Qi Yunliang heard that Tan's son-in-law came back from Shenzhen. Qi talked to the young man immediately. He was quite tall, about 5 feet and 10 inches high, but slightly thin and lean. Qi said straight to the point, "Now, the rural areas in northern Guangdong are developing well. Your father-in-law has laid a good foundation over years. After you work for two more years, you should put the focus back on the fields and engage in farming." Seeing that the young man was a bit ashamed, he added, "If you grow citrus in your hometown, you can get rich, and at the same time keep company with your children. Isn’t that a better choice? Think about it, you are already the father of two children." Qi’s word hit the man as a knockout punch. He immediately agreed, "Well, you are right. I’ll work for two more years before I come back." By the end of 2019, Tan earned nearly 40,000 yuan from the citrus business. Plus other income, Tan’s family has gone beyond the poverty standard. If his son-in-law can come back and inherit the citrus orchard, the family will never be in danger of returning to poverty, Qi Yunliang pondered.

在另一个星期天，但那天是下午，漆云良来到李荣生家。这个家显得十分简朴——白石灰粉刷的墙壁，原木色的柜子，再加上原木色的沙发和饭桌，让整个房间显得温馨可人。跟随着这对夫妻，他来到山上的橘园。风景相当不错，但从四面八方吹来的热风直直地扑打了面颊上，让他喘不上气来。男主人47岁，中等个头，理着个小平头，皮肤是姜黄里透着黝黑的那种咖啡色。很明显，他的气色相当差——皮肤的光泽已变得钝然，虽然眉眼还算清秀，只是在额头和眼角的皱纹，却如泥土裂开般深刻。他的体型几乎不能用“精瘦”来形容，而几乎算得上“形销骨立”——套在身上的T恤衫显得松松垮垮，没有一点厚度，也没有一点分量。他的身体看起来轻飘菲薄，像个掏空了瓤子的葫芦瓢。然而，这个男人的性情却内敛而羞涩，一笑时，显露出一口白牙。然而，漆云良却见不得那男人笑——他越是笑，漆云良的心里越是酸楚。要知道，这可是位尿毒症患者啊！
On another Sunday, it was afternoon when Qi Yunliang came to Li Rongsheng's house. The home looked very simple - white lime painted walls, log-colored cabinets, and a log-colored sofa and a dining table made the whole room look warm and inviting. Following the couple, he went to the orange grove on the hill. The view was quite nice, but the hot wind blowing from all directions punched straight on his cheeks and made him gasp for breath. The man is 47 years old, medium height, with a small flat haircut, his skin is ginger with a dark coffee color. Obviously, he looks quite unhealthy - the luster of the skin has become dull, although the eyes are still fairly beautiful, and the forehead and eye wrinkles are as deep as the cracked clay. His body type can hardly be described as "lean", but almost "bony" - the T-shirt on his body seems loose, no thickness, without any weight. His body looks light and thin, like a hollowed out flesh of a gourd scoop. However, this man's temperament is introverted and shy, a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. However, Qi Yunliang could not bear seeing the man smile - the more he smiled, the more sour Lac Yunliang's heart was. You know, this is a uremic patient!

==== 熊丹 Xiong Dan====

李荣生家的主要收入来源便是这山上的柑橘和三亩水稻。
The main sources of income for Li Rongsheng’s family are oranges and three mu of rice on the mountain.

妻子邓渊梅才刚过而立之年，肩宽体壮，已成为全家的主劳力。
His wife, Deng Yuanmei, just turned 30 years old.He has become the main labor force of the whole family with broad shoulders and a strong body.

由于常年从事重体力劳动，这个女人的脸庞被晒得黝黑发红。
Her face was tanned and flushed from years of hard manual labor.

可是，她一个人只有两只手，一天从睁眼忙到天黑，累得眼前阵阵发暗，还是有一堆的活没干完。
But she, a person, only has two hands, a day from open eyes busy to dark, tired eyes bursts of dark, and there still has a pile of work not finished.

无奈，他们只能被迫减少水稻的种植。然而，柑橘却不能不种——那可是全家人最重要的收入来源！
They cannot help but decrease planting rice. However, the citrus have to be plant—those are the most important source of income!

由于丈夫重病，女人勉强持家，这个家成为全村唯一的一户“易返贫农户”。
As for her husband’s serious illness, the woman gained a bare livelihood of family, which has become the only one in the villages "easy to return to poor peasant."

在2018年时，这家人的收入甚为萧条，年收入仅有6000元。他们全家主要靠每月近2000元的低保维持生活——四个人每人每月484元。然而，橘园不能荒废——山上和田里的柑橘加在一起，足有600多棵，且不断挂果，而这些果实，是他们在2019年的全部希望。
In 2018, this family’s income was very low, with an annual income of only 6000 yuan. The whole family mainly depends on a monthly allowance of 2000 yuan to maintain lives— 484 yuan per person for four people. However, the orchards cannot be left to wast—added the citrus of the mountains and fields together, which have more than 600 citrus trees, and they are bearing fruit that is all they have to hope for in 2019.

给橘园施肥可是个技术活——既要看柑橘的花、叶与果实的需要，还要看天气状况。细心的果农总结出最佳的施肥时间，便是下雨的前一天。如果没有赶在这一天施肥，那么柑橘的收成便会大受影响。考虑到李荣生家缺劳力，漆云良便和这对夫妻商量，一定要在下雨前的那一天过来帮忙施肥。走进曲径通幽的橘园中时，漆云良看到园内已备好了小型抽水机、水管、水桶、高压喷枪和复合化肥。三个人便开始分工协作地干了起来——在李荣生夫妇往每棵树下洒化肥时，漆云良便拖着六十米的水管，举起水枪，朝洒有化肥的树下喷水。这边撒，那边喷，协作劳动的效率就是高！看到有些山坡实在高，无论水枪怎么喷都喷不到，他便采用最原始的办法——用桶子装上水，提着走上去再浇灌。
Fertilizing orange orchards is a skilled matter - it depends on the needs of the citrus flowers, leaves and fruits, as well as on the weather conditions. Attentive farmers have concluded that the best time to apply fertilizer is the day before it rains. If the fertilizer is not applied on this day, the citrus harvest will be seriously affected. Considering the lack of labor in Li Rongsheng's family, Qi Yunliang discussed with the couple and made sure to come over on the day before the rain to help fertilize.When walking into the winding orange orchard, Qi Yunliang saw that the garden had been prepared with a small water pump, water pipes, buckets, high-pressure spray gun and compound fertilizer. The three men began to work together - when Mr. and Mrs. Li Rongsheng were sprinkling fertilizer under each tree, Qi Yunliang dragged a 60-meter pipe and raised a water gun to spray water under the trees with fertilizer.Sprinkle here, spray there, collaborative labor is highly efficiency. When he saw that some slopes were really high, no matter how the water gun could not be sprayed, he used the most primitive method - fill a bucket with water and carry it up to water again.

==== 谢州周 Xie Zhouzhou ====

他就这样一桶一桶地提着水。虽然腿成了抽去骨头的肉棍子，但他依旧用精神支撑着——只有让每一颗化肥都被水溶解，来能保证这片橘园的丰收，才能让这个家庭的日子继续下去。山上的温度越来越高，云朵像调皮的小孩从一边往另一边跑，太阳则让泡了水的化肥释放出一股浓烈的味道。忙碌干活的漆云良发现自己的嗓子干涩，怎么都吞咽不下唾沫。整个的午后，他便这样沤在潮湿的闷热中，拖着那条长蛇般的水管走来走去。他的汗水不是一滴一滴地流下来，而是像下雨般倾泻出来，令衣衫的前胸和后背全都湿漉漉，好像身上涂了一层热浆糊。他感慨自己不过是偶尔过来帮忙，可这样的活计，对这对夫妻来说，却是家常便饭。而当丈夫的，却还是一位尿毒症患者！他是职业医生，当然知道那个病意味着什么，可出现在他眼中的这对夫妻，却充满了乐观精神，从来不曾抱怨，也不曾仇恨，只是勤勉地工作，试图改变自己枯索的穷日子。
He just carried water bucket by bucket. Although his legs have become flesh sticks without bones, he is still supported by his spirit - only when every fertilizer is dissolved by water can the harvest of this orange orchard be guaranteed. Only in this way can the family's life continue. The temperature on the mountain is getting higher and higher, the clouds are like naughty children running from one side to the other, and the sun makes the soaked fertilizer release a strong smell. Qi Yunliang, who was busy working, felt his throat was dry and could not swallow saliva. All afternoon, he was in such a humid and hot weather, dragging the snake like pipe around. His sweat did not trickle down drop by drop, but poured out like rain, making his chest and back all wet, as if he had been coated with hot paste. He sighed that he only came to help occasionally, but this kind of work was common to the couple and the husband is even a uremic patient! He is a professional doctor. Of course, he knows what the disease means. But the couple in his eyes are full of optimism. They never complain or hate. They just work diligently to try to change their poor days.

==== 谢茜敏 Xie Ximin====

如此勤劳的一对夫妻，何以让家庭陷入贫困陷阱？原来，疾病和学费是这个家的两大黑洞。男主人每年平均的医药费都在10万元左右，虽然可以报销95%，但家里到底还是丧失了一个主要劳动力；两个孩子的学费，也是一堵墙，死死地压在父母的肩膀上。16岁的大女儿李静，性格腼腆,就读在韶关市北江中等职业学校，每年的学费和住宿费要花3万多；10岁的小女儿李燕，性格活泼,就读于扶溪学校三年级。虽说小学的学费全免，但买文具及日常生活也是一笔不小的费用。这样零零总总算下来的数字，和卖柑橘的数字一比对，自然显得格外庞大。
为了省钱，李荣生经常一个人骑着摩托车，自己到30公里外的医院去做透析！他这样做，既省下了坐公共车的钱，也省下了妻子陪护的时间。每每想到那个画面——那位孤独的男人正骑着摩托车朝医院奔去时——漆云良的眼圈便会发红，鼻孔便会发酸，感觉泪水止不住要流下来。他佩服李荣生——看起来，这个男人看是那样得普通，然而，他却有着超越常人的坚强意志。这种罕见的生存能力像是一种天赋，在贫穷的环境里也没有遭到稀释，反而完整地保存了下来。

How could such a hard-working couple trap their family in poverty? So that was because illness and tuition were two big black holes in this family. The average annual medical expenses of the male host were about 100,000 yuan. Although 95% of the expenses could be reimbursed, but the family had lost a major labor force. Two children's tuition was also a heavy wall on the parents' shoulders. The elder daughter Li Jing, aged 16, was shy and studied at Beijiang Secondary Vocational School in Shaoguan, where the tuition and accommodation cost more than 30,000 yuan per year. The youngest daughter Li Yan, aged 10, was in Grade 3 at Fuxi School. Elementary school tuition was free, but the spending for stationery and daily life was still high. Of course, compared with the sale of citrus, the various figures seemed extraordinarily large. In order to save money, Li Rongsheng often rode a motorcycle alone to the hospital 30 kilometers away to do dialysis! By doing so, he saved both money on public transport and time his wife spent with him. Every time he thought of that scene -- the lonely man riding his motorcycle toward the hospital -- Qi Yunliang’s eyes would turn red and his nostrils would turn sour. He felt his tear would nearly run down his face. He admired Li Rongsheng -- this man was seemingly so ordinary, but he had a strong will beyond ordinary people. The rare ability to survive was like a gift that wasn’t diluted in poverty, but preserved intact.

==== 谢佳玉 Xie Jiayu====

为了帮扶这个家，他建议村里给邓渊梅解决了一个公益性岗位，每月能有1000多的收入。两个孩子，也分别享受到国家的助学补助——大女儿获得5000元的学费补助和3000元的生活补助；小女儿获得3000元生活补助。即便这样，这个家的日子依旧紧紧巴巴。在2019年年底时，漆云良发动了一场“消费扶贫、爱心奉献”的活动——由镇政府按最低成本价筹集优质大米，每袋10斤，按一袋60元销售，将销售利润捐赠给李荣生。最终，他将筹得的6800多元善款送到了李荣生家。春节时，李荣生70多岁的母亲为了表示感谢，专门给漆云良包了个50元的小红包。漆云良捏着红包，感觉鼻子阵阵发酸。这样一位老人，靠着平日里的节俭，一点一滴挤榨着一角钱两角钱，最终才攒出了这50元。他可吃不消这份厚礼，所以，他当然是坚定地退了回去，然而，老人家的一片心意他却领受了。

In order to help the poor family out of poverty, he suggested that the village arranged a public service job for Deng Yuanmei, which could earn more than 1000 yuan a month. Their two children also received national grants – the elder daughter received 5000 yuan for tuition subsidy and 3000 yuan for living subsidy; The younger one received 3000 yuan for living subsidy. Even so, the family’s life was still hand-to-mouth. At the end of 2019, Qi Yunliang launched an event of “poverty alleviation through consumption, and dedication with love” – the town government bought high-quality rice at the lowest cost price, sold it at 60 yuan per bag of 5 kilograms, and donated the profits to Li Rongsheng. Finally, he sent the money of more than 6800 yuan he raised to Li’s house. During the Spring Festival, Li’s mother, who was in her 70s, wrapped a red envelope of 50 yuan for Qi Yunliang to express her thanks. While Qi pinched the red envelope, his nose felt sore. Such an old man, relying on her thrifty life, collected a dime or two bit by bit, and finally saved 50 yuan. He couldn’t receive such a big gift, and so, of course, he firmly sent it back. But he accepted the old man’s kindness.

在2020年年初，漆云良从新闻里了解到东莞市的扶贫情况——通过从2016年到2019年的努力，东莞扶贫的韶关、揭阳两市的323贫困村，贫困户的生产生活条件已有了明显改善；扶贫干部帮助贫困村开展村道硬底化近2000公里，实施饮水安全工程512宗，危房改造4768户，修建广场626个，建设卫生站339个；贫困村集体平均年收入从2015年底的3.08万元增长到2019年的15.39万元，年均增长率高达49.5%。他反复阅读着这些数据，一点都不觉得枯燥。因为在这些数字里，包含着他和斜周村人的努力。

At the beginning of 2020, Qi Yunliang learned from the news about the poverty alleviation situation in Dongguan City.Through the efforts from 2016 to 2019, the production and living conditions of the poverty-stricken households in the 323 poverty-stricken villages in Shaoguan and Jieyang have been improved significantly.Poverty-alleviation officials helped impoverished villages to consolidate nearly 2,000 kilometers of roads, carry out 512 cases of water safety projects, renovate 4,768 dilapidated houses, build 626 squares, and 339 health stations. The average annual income of the collective poverty-stricken villages increased from 30,800 yuan at the end of 2015 to 153,900 yuan in 2019, with an average annual growth rate of 49.5 percent. He read the data repeatedly without getting bored at all as these figures contained the joint efforts of his and the people of Xiezhou Village.

当他反复凝视着这句话——“危房改造4768户”时，不觉在嘴角弯起一个笑容。在这个数字里，有他的一份小贡献。那一天，他依旧是早晨5点起床，在背完汤头歌诀与《百症赋》后，即刻
出门跑步。从斜周村到扶溪镇，中间是10公里的246省道。路途中，每每遇到去赶集的村民，他们都要停下脚步，带着炫耀的神情过来问候——“漆书记，坐我的摩托车吧？”“漆书记，我稍您吧？”他向村民们摆摆手，满嘴“谢谢，不用了”，可心里却想，“人知从太守游而乐，而不知太守之乐其乐也。”路过大印头村小组时，他发现祠庙里聚集了不少村民。原来，今天是祠堂祭祀“吃庙会”的日子。现在，他对斜周村的各个村小组都已了如指掌，知道这个小组住着三四十户人家，很多年轻人都去珠江三角洲一带打工，而在祠庙里祭祀的是蔡十八郎。相传，是蔡十八郎日夜看守着锦江，守护着斜周村，才保得这里风调雨顺。每天，都有虔诚的老奶奶到庙里来烧香祭拜。

When Qi repeatedly stared at this sentence--"4,768 households of dilapidated housing transformation", unconsciously a smile was curved in the corner of mouth because of his samll contribution for this number. He still got up at five o'clock a.m. that day and then went running immediately after reading Recipes in Rhymes and Baizheng Fu(a composition about the treatments of various diseases) . There was provincial highway 246 about 10 kilometers from Xiezhou village to Fuxi town. Every time the villagers who went to the market met him on the way, they would stop and come over with an air of triumph to greet, "Secretary Qi, take my motorcycle?" he said, "No,thanks." And then he would think that people only know the happiness of playing with the prefecture but they don't know he takes the tourists' joy as happiness. While passing the group of Da Yintou village, he found that not a few villagers gathered in the temple. And it turned out that today was the day for sacrificing in ancestral temple and "Eating in temple fair". Nowadays, he knew all about groups of Xiezhou village and the facts that this group was made up of thirties or fourties households, and many young people came to the Pearl River Delta Region to work and Cai Shi-ba-lang (the 18th son in the Cai's family) was worshipped in the temple. Cai Shi-ba-lang, according to legend, watched over the Jin Jiang River and Xiezhou village from day and night and that was why it was good weather for crops here, therefore, there were old pious women caming to the temple to burn incense and worship every day.

When Qi repeatedly stared at this sentence--"4,768 households of dilapidated housing transformation", unconsciously a smile was curved in the corner of mouth because of his small contribution for this number.

There was provincial highway 246 about 10 kilometers from Xiezhou village to Fuxi town. Every time the villagers who went to the market met him on the way, they would stop and come over with an air of ostentation to greet, "Secretary Qi, would you like to ride my motorcycle?" or "Can I give you a lift?". He waved them away, "No, thanks." and then he would think that people only know the happiness of playing with him but don't know he takes the villagers' joy as happiness. While passing the group of Da Yintou village, he found that a few villagers gathered in the ancestral temple. It turned out that it was the day for sacrificing. Nowadays, he knew all about groups of Xiezhou village and the facts that this group was made up of around forty households, and many young people came to the Pearl River Delta Region to work and Cai Shi-ba-lang (the 18th son in the Cai's family) was worshipped in the temple. Cai Shi-ba-lang, according to legend, watched over the Jinjiang River and Xiezhou village from day and night and that was why it was good weather for crops here. therefore, there were old pious women coming to the temple to burn incense and worship every day.

傍晚时分，有村民来到他的住处，硬拉着他去“吃庙会”。他推辞不过，便跟着来了。只见庙前摆着七八张围桌，桌上放着饼干、花生、瓜子之类的小吃。到了下午六点，人们在锣鼓队的带领下，拿着油灯、纸符和纸船，小心翼翼地穿过公路与农田，来到锦江边。在起誓祈祷、敬献公鸡之后，又点燃纸船里的灯芯，燃放鞭炮，放船归海，祈求在家者人畜兴旺，在外者事业有成。这个偏僻的粤北小村虽不富裕，可人们却勤劳地经营着每一天，内心充满虔敬。这种气氛深深感染着人群中漆云良，让他觉得自己像一粒盐，已彻底融入小村的日常生活。从河边返回就餐时，他发现自己与大印头村民林辉南同桌。老林有一张褐黄色的脸庞，在村里也算是德高望重的人物。一看到漆书记，老林即刻争着给他添饭，而他则赶忙起身道谢。原来，老林的妻子是漆云良的学院，每周三都跟着他学打太极，所以总是在丈夫面前夸赞漆书记，说他是“在泥土里做实事的人。”故而，两个人一见面，无需用九曲十八弯的方式建立友谊，即刻便熟络起来。其后，漆云良便和老林一家时常走动，关系甚为融洽。

In the evening, some villagers came to Qi’s residence and forced him to go to the temple fair. He could not decline so he followed. There were tables in front of the temple, with cookies, peanuts, melon seeds and other snacks on them. At 18 o’clock, led by a drum and gong band, people carrying oil lamps, paper talismans and paper boats, walked carefully across roads and farmland to the edge of the Jinjiang River. After taking the oath to pray and sacrificing the rooster, they lit the wick in the paper boat, set off firecrackers and set the boat back to the sea, praying for the growth of population and thrived stock breeding in village and successful career of people who went to outside for work. This remote village in northern Guangdong is not rich, but the people here work hard every day with piety. This atmosphere deeply infected Qi in the crowd. He felt himself like salt in a sea, who has been thoroughly integrated into the village's daily life. Returning from the river for dinner, he found himself at the same table as Lin Huinan, a villager from Dayintou. Lin had a brownish-yellow face and was a highly respected figure in the village. Upon seeing Secretary Qi, Lin scrambled to serve him in dinner, while Qi got up quickly to thank him. It turned out that Lin's wife was a student of Qi and learned tai chi with him every Wednesday, so she always praised him, saying that he was a man who does solid work in the village. Therefore, when two people met, there was no need to establish friendship in the way of complex social intercourse, and they immediately became familiar with each other. Afterwards, Qi and the Lin family kept in touch and got on well with each other.

In the evening, some villagers came to Qi’s residence and invited him enthusiastically to the temple fair. He could not decline so he went there. In front of the temple, there were tables with cookies, peanuts, fried melon seeds and other snacks on them. At 6 p.m.,following a drum and gong band, people walked slowly across roads and farmland to the bank of the Jinjiang River with oil lamps, paper talismans and paper boats in their hands. After taking an oath and killing a rooster as sacrifice, they they lit the candles in paper boats and set off firecrackers. Watching the paper boats flowing to the sea, they prayed for the growth of population and thrived stock breeding in the village and success of people who worked outside. In this remote village in northern Guangdong, local people cherished each day though they were not rich. Their love for life touched Qi deeply. He felt himself like a drop of rain falling into a river,thoroughly integrated into the life in the village. Returning from the river for dinner, he found himself at the same table with Lin Huinan, a villager from Dayintou. Lin had a brownish-yellow face and was highly respected in the village. Upon seeing Qi, Lin scrambled to serve him during the meal, while Qi got up quickly to thank him. It turned out that Lin's wife learned tai chi from Qi every Wednesday, so she always praised him, saying that he was a man who did do solid work in the village. Therefore, Lin and Qi soon became familiar with each other with no need of complex social intercourse. Afterwards, Qi and the Lin family kept in contact and got on well with each other.

==== 向明慧 Xiang Minghui====

“漆书记有广泛的群众基础啊！”这话可不是别人说的，而是扶溪镇的祝向恩书记说的。他请漆云良来帮忙：“漆书记，旧房改造的事要拜托你了。”拆旧房是个极为难办的事。譬如——大印头村民林辉南，他在村里已建有新房，墙壁雪白，地上还铺了地板砖。然而，那处旧的泥砖房一直闲置着，又黑又破，在路边显得十分扎眼。虽然这屋子完全符合拆除泥砖房的范畴，但村委和镇政府的人想给老林做工作时，他一律避而不见；再譬如——西坑村的贫困户聂球生家，有一座泥砖房已是岌岌可危，侧旁还用树头支撑着。虽然村干部给他说了很多次，但他却油盐不进，就是不拆。

“Secretary Qi is trusted by villagers!” Secretary Zhu Xiang’en of Fuxi Town commented.“Secretary Qi, you must help to persuade villagers to renovate their old houses.” Zhu asked. It was difficult to fulfill Zhu’s request as some villagers were reluctant to tear down their old dwellings. Lin Huinan, from Dayintou Village, had already built a new apartment which boasted clean walls and good floor tiles. Yet his previous shabby dark house stood by the road conspicuously. It obviously accorded with the standard of old dwellings to be pulled down. However, Lin would hide from the clerks of the village committee and the town government. Nie Qiusheng, a poor man in Xikeng Village, had a teetering mud-brick house propped by trunks. He refused to knock down it despite times of persuasion by villager cadres.

“Secretary Qi has an extensive foundation with the mass!” These words were spoken by none other than Secretary Zhu Xianghan of Fuxi Town. “Secretary Qi, you must help to persuade villagers to renovate their old houses.”, Zhu asked Qi Yunliang to help him and said.

漆云良接受了这个任务后，决定先找老林谈。老林已60开外，平日在县城里照顾孙子，难得一见。他的三个儿子都已结婚，且都在县城买了新房。他在村里的旧房一直闲置着，养些鸡和鸭。趁着老林回村时，漆云良便登门拜访，顺便将旧房改造的事也提了出来。老林也坦然地说了自己的顾虑，然而，当听到漆云良的解释后，他马上笑逐颜开地点头答应：“没问题！”老林信任漆云良信任，所以把心里的疙瘩全都抖了出来：“我是害怕自己拆了房，政策又变了！”漆云良马上表示：“政策绝对不会变！”漆云良进一步解释：“现在你拆房完全符合政策，是有补助的，可是过了这个时候拆，那就没有补助了。”看到老林还在犹豫，他便拿出了定心丸：“你如果相信我，我便以私人名义，先资助你一些拆除泥砖房的费用，然后咱们在签个担保书，我保证你能拿到补助！”老林的眼睛活络了起来，目光聚成了一道闪电：“当真？”漆云良说：“我们可以找个见证人啊！”老林这才放心地说：“只要是你漆书记讲的，我就可以！”当天晚上，漆云良带着保人，拿上约定好的现金、担保书和签字收据来到老林家，老林便痛痛快快地签了字。

After accepting this task, Qi Yunliang decided to talk to Lin first. Over 60 years old, Lin has been taking care of his grandson in the city and it is difficult to see him once. His three sons have all been married and bought their own new houses in the city. His old house in the village has been idle, only some chickens and ducks raised in it. When Lin returned to the village, Qi Yunliang came to visit and mentioned the renovation of the old house by the way. Lin openly expressed his own concerns, however, when he heard Qi YunLiang’s explanation, he immediately smiled, nodding and promising:“No problem.”Lin trust QiYunLiang, so he poured out all the concerns of his heart. Qi Yunliang immediately said: “The policy will never change!” Qi Yunliang further explained, “The demolition of the house is completely in line with the policy now, and we will get subsidies. But after this period of time, there will be no subsidies.” Seeing that Lin was still hesitated, he made a promise and said, “ If you believe me, I’ll personally subsidize you to demolish the mud-brick house, and then we’ll sign a letter of guarantee to guarantee that you’ll get the subsidy!” Lin’s eyes lit up, eyelights gathered like a flash of lightning, and said, “Do you mean it?” Qi Yunliang said, “We can find a witness!” Only then did Lin felt at ease and said, “As long as it’s what you said as a secretary, I'll agree!” That night, Qi Yunliang brought the guarantor, took the agreed cash, guarantee letter and signature receipt to Lin’s house, and Lin gladly signed the agreement.

当漆云良来到西坑村小组时，看到这里绿荫低吟，清溪垂唱，静谧秀美，温情平实，真是好一幅粤北乡村水墨画！然而，当他把视线投向聂球生的家时，总感觉不和谐——那栋泥砖房不仅破旧不堪，且歪歪扭扭，侧墙上用树杆撑着，几近坍塌。当漆云良敲开聂球生的家门时，张嘴说的第一句话说却是“老母亲的身体最近如何？”他先为老人家量了血压，又叮嘱她好生休养，又给做儿子的也量了血压，叮嘱他吃饭要少盐少油，平时要少喝酒。然后话题一转，他开始表扬男主人是村里脱贫致富的产业带头人：“你看看，柑橘种了800多棵，家里鸡鸭成群，今年的收入肯定不错，我是真心为你感到骄傲啊！”看到男主人脸上露出笑意，他便适时跟进：“现在，你大儿子参加了工作，每月也有5000元工资，很不错啊！”

==== 夏盼 Xia Pan====

看到老聂愈发变得笑吟吟起来后，漆云良才把话题挑明：“老聂，你家那旧砖房没有人住，已经破得墙都歪了，很危险，能不能配合镇里危房改造的工作，把它拆了呢？”聂球生的笑容僵硬在脸上，脸皮颤抖了起来，像有针在扎他。他将声调降了几度：“漆书记，你是不知道啊，那屋子里不仅放了很多杂物，还有老人家的棺木啊！”随后，他又添了句：“而且，那房子是我小弟的，他现在住在仁化县城呢。”漆云良点点头：“即便是你小弟的，你也可以给他做做工作嘛！”看老聂不动声色，漆云良心生一计：“来来来，老聂，咱们今天来算一笔账！这三年，国家每年给你家的支助有7万元！你家盖的这栋红砖房，国家还补助了4万元！”见老聂点头，漆云良又说：“拆除旧房，虽然会给你带来一时的麻烦，但却改变了村容村貌，让咱们村子变得美丽！况且，拆旧房国家还有补助。咱们做人要懂得感恩啊！”老聂的脸红一阵白一阵。他思忖了一下说：“漆书记，你放心，等下个月的农历初一，我把棺材搬到别的地方。我小弟的思想工作，也由我来做！”

又一个粤北乡村的夜晚

从西坑村小组走出后，夜已经很深了。月光中，那条黄泥小路一直在漆云良的眼前蜿蜒着。他走过去后，转了一个弯，又出现了另一条黄泥小路，好像那小路永远都走不完。被露水湿润了的泥土散发着微微的土腥气，让他深深地呼了一口气，又缓缓地吐纳了出去。他的脚踩在浮土上，发出窸窸窣窣的响声，心里有种无可名状的快感。就在刚才，他从手机屏幕上看到了这样一条消息——“截至2019年底，东莞市脱贫攻坚目标任务接近完成，累计实现脱贫1.5万户5.16万人，贫困人口脱贫率达99.57%；启动集体经济增收项目618个，帮扶323个贫困村集体平均年收入从2015年的3.08万元增加到2019年的15.39万元；东莞市同时帮扶云南昭通市。人口19.12万人次。帮扶协作项目受惠，覆盖人群超过80万人，使昭通市6个国家级贫困县中有5个已实现脱贫摘帽。”—— 他发觉自己的面颊变得温润濡湿。他知道，到2020年，让贫困人口全部脱贫，让贫困村全部摘帽的工程一定能100%完成！

Another night in the village of Northern Guangdong. It has been late at night when Qi Yunliang left the Xi Keng Village Group. Bathed in the moonlight, a yellow mud road winds its way before him. However, when he approached to the end and made a turn, another yellow mud road appeared, leading to no end.The mosit mud giving out faint earthy smell, he took a deep breath and then exhaled it slowly. Stepping on the surface dust, listening the shuffling under feet, a undescrible pleasure climbed on his heart. Just now, he came across such a message on his phone: By the end of 2019, the battle aginst poverty was nearly to witness its win in Dong Guan. 15,000 households and 51,600 people was lifted out of poverty and the poverty alleviation rate of the poor has reached 99.57%. Dong Guan launched 618 collective economic projects for increasing income and provided assitance for 323 poverty-striken villages, the anverage collective annual income of which has increased from 30,800 yuan in 2015 to 153,900 yuan in 2019. At the same time, Dong Guan financially assisted Shao Tong city in Yunnan province, benefiting 191,200 people. Supportive and jointly-operated projects which benefiting over 0.8 million people has helped five national level poverty-striken counties out of the six in Shao Tong achieve poverty alleviation.

此时此刻的斜周村，美得像一幅摄影作品——青黝黝的天空上，高挂着一弯新月；一栋栋农舍，像一块块巧克力蛋糕；窗户里的点点灯火，像一颗颗晶莹的珍珠。呼哧！一蓬热风吹来，将树叶晃得哗啦啦直响，也将漆云良的眼睛吹得朦朦胧胧。蓦然间，他想起自己来到小村的第一个夜晚。那时，他站村委的门口处，看到的是一幅岭南乡村的水墨画；现在，他行走在这图画中，已成为风景里不可或缺的一分子。他知道，自己已将生命中最好的那部分留在了这里；他知道，在度过了这些日日夜夜后，他已彻底地变成了一个斜周村人！

第三章海丰红色村庄的扶贫行动

At this moment, the village is as beautiful as a photographic work. A crescent moon in a clear blue sky; Farmhouses like chocolate cake; The little lights in the window are like crystal pearls. "Hoo", a hot wind blowing, the leaves will shake the hubbub ring, also will paint Yun Liang's eyes blowing hazy. Suddenly he remembered his first night in the village. At that time, he stood at the gate of the village committee and saw an ink painting of the Lingnan countryside. Now he walks in the picture and becomes an integral part of the landscape. He knew that he had left the best part of his life behind; He knew that after all these days and nights he had become a man of the crooked village!

It takes more than an hour to travel from Humen High-speed railway station in Dongguan to Shanwei high-speed railway station. The train carriages are clean and tidy, spacious, with everyone having their own seat and a place to put their luggage. The train is like a newly awakened lion, mustering all its strength and speeding up. The Shanwei high-speed railway station creates a simple style with modernism - clean, bright and organised. The bus from here takes you to Haifeng county in an hour. Obviously, the county town is a completely different place from the high-speed railway station - a mix of people and motorbike traffic flow in the blazing sunshine harmoniously makes for a disorderly hustle and bustle at the crossroads.

海丰是一片充满神秘感的粤东之地。当你踏入这座小城，好像进入了英国中世纪时的那些城镇，你和历史已相互交融在一起，然而，这里却没有英国的寒冷，而是一片充满燠热和潮湿的地方。这个位于广东东南的县城，其名字取自于“南海物丰”，已沿用了2000多年。这座岭南小城是陆地最后的疆界——弯弯曲曲的海岸线像遮阳帽的边缘，而丰沛的水汽和炙热的阳光，激发着植物的生长，调节着气流的循环，和干燥缺水的西北恰好相反。这里不可能发生北方冬天深入骨髓的寒冷，这里到处都蕴藏着旺盛的繁殖力——暴雨和高温，硕大的榕树和木棉树，随处可见的香蕉树和鸡蛋花树，成群的鸡、鸭、鹅。这片大地有着极强的愈合能力。那些因开路或盖房子而暴露出来的地面，闪着古怪的肉红色，然而很快，绿色植被便将那些伤痕迅速覆盖。

Haifeng is a mysterious place in eastern Guangdong. When you step into this small town, it is like stepping into those medieval towns in the UK, you have a real connection to history. However, it is not as cold as the UK, but a place full of heat and humidity. This town in southeastern Guangdong takes its name from "the South China Sea is blessed with natural treasures", which has been used for more than 2,000 years. This small town in Linnan (South of the Five Ridges) is the last frontier of the land - the squiggling coastline is like the edge of a sun hat, and the abundant moisture and hot sunshine stimulate the growth of plants and regulate the circulation of air currents, just the opposite of the dry and water-scarce northwest. Unlike the biting air of the northern winters, here is full of life and everything is thriving -- torrential rain and heat, huge banyan and kapok trees, ubiquitous banana and frangipani trees, flocks of chickens, ducks and geese. This land has excellent self-healing ability -- The ground exposed by cutting paths or building houses glows with a strange flesh pink, and soon, the green vegetation would quickly heal the scars.

Haifeng is a land of mystery in eastern Guangdong. When you step into this town, it's like entering one of those medieval English towns, and you are intertwined with the history here. It is not, however, as cold as England. It is a sultry and damp place. Tis county in the southeast of Guangdong province, was named after "Nanhai Wufeng" (which means the South China Sea is abundant in resources), and it has been used for more than 2,000 years. This small Lingnan town is the last frontier of the land -- its curving coastline is like the edge of a sunbonnet, and its abundant water vapor and scorching sunlight stimulate plant growth and regulate the circulation of air currents, which is quite a contrary to the dry northwestern China. There is no place for the bone-penetrating cold like the winter in northern China, but there is much fertility here and there -- torrential rain and heat, huge banyan and kapok trees, banana and frangipani trees everywhere, and flocks of chickens, ducks and geese. This land has a remarkable healing power. The ground, pushed out by roads or houses, glowed a strange fleshy red, but soon the vegetation will quickly cover those scars.

旅行让你的身体交换了空间，去经历一些预想不到的事物。现在，你站在楼上凝视凌晨的县城——太阳还没有升起，上坡呈现棕色曲线，栋栋楼房雾霭中影影绰绰；白天时分，整个县城交通繁忙，人群川流；夜晚，大排档冒出炊烟，人们在一碗麻鱼粥的抚慰中，将劳作带来的辛苦一扫而光，安然入睡。然而在这座县城里，你总感觉如履薄冰——因为你听不懂这里的方言，所以你无法和人们顺畅交流。让你试图探听那些奇怪的福佬话时，好像侵犯了他人的领地，试图进入另一个世界，另一个区域，另一种文明形态。在这座县城里，你总能感觉到一种强烈的疏离感现在，好像自己来到了世界尽头的某个地方，某个穷尽了所有可能性的地方。

Traveling allows your body to get a spatial change and experience unexpected things. Now you're standing upstairs, staring at the county in the early hours of the morning --the sun hasn't risen yet, the slopes were curved in brown and the buildings were shadowy in the mist. During the day, the whole county presents busy traffic and the crowd hustle and bustle; at night, cooking steam comes out of the food stall. People sweep away the tiredness from the hard work and sleep peacefully in the comfort of a bowl of fish porridge. But in this county, you always feel like you're treading on thin ice -- you can't communicate with people because you don't understand the dialect here. When you are trying to understand the strange Hokkien, it makes you feel like you're invading someone else's territory, trying to enter another world, another region, another form of civilization. You can always feel a strong sense of alienation in this county. Now you feel like you are in some place at the end of the world, somewhere that all possibilities have been denied.

一个人的海丰

在海丰，历史是以叠缩的方式存在着的——你不仅可以目睹到的是当下，还可以目睹到包括100年前的那段历史。这座县城像一个虚悬在时间中的城堡，依旧延续着革命的喧嚣。海丰是广东省的红都——周恩来、贺龙、刘伯承、徐向前等老一辈革命家都曾在这里留下过足迹；海丰还是一个充满象征意味的城市——就像伦敦现在依旧是狄更斯的伦敦那样，海丰现在依旧是彭湃的海丰。穿过大街小巷，走过鳞次栉比的小店，挤在熙来攘往的市场中，你都无法逃出彭湃的眼神。在海丰，彭湃无处不在——他的名字出现在人们的闲谈中，也出现在学校、医院和公园的牌匾中。彭湃出生在这块南海边的土地上，他当然热爱自己的故乡，然而，他的热爱和别人不同——因为他看到了故乡痛苦病灶的原因。作为海丰最优秀的青年，彭湃为这座县城带来了巨大的改变。所以如果你如果不了解彭湃，你便无法了解海丰——海丰的特点，便是彭湃的特点。
Alone in Haifeng
In Haifeng, history exists in a telescoping way——you can witness not only the present but also the history of 100 years ago. This county is like a mere illusion in the time of the castle, still continuing the hustle and bustle of the revolution. Haifeng is the ancient capital of the red revolution of Guangdong Province. Zhou Enlai, He Long, Liu Bocheng, Xu Xiangqian, and other older revolutionaries have all left footprints here. Haifeng is also a symbolic city——just as London is still Dickens' London, Haifeng is still Pengpai's Haifeng. Through the streets and alleys, through rows of shops, crowded in bustling markets, you can not escape the eyes of Peng Pai. In Haifeng, Peng Pai is everywhere-his name appears in people's gossip, and also on plaques in schools, hospitals and parks. Peng Pai was born in this land by the South China Sea. Of course, he loves his hometown, but his love is different from others because he sees the cause of the painful lesions in his hometown. As the best youth in Haifeng, Peng Pai has brought great changes to this county. So if you don't know Peng Pai, you cannot know Haifeng—— Haifeng is characterized by the feature of Pengpai.

你终于看到了那两个大字——红场。红场像一扇中国革命史的最初之门——后来的一切，都要从这扇门开始。在这里建立起的苏维埃政权，是中国历史上的第一个县级苏维埃政权。你被这
里的红色深深震撼住——红色的街道，红色的墙壁，红色的大门。耀眼的红色形成强烈的视觉刺激，让你浑身一凛，肃然起敬。挺立在红场上的雕塑并不高大，但却十分传神——那个年轻人穿着西装，头发被吹起，正放眼远眺。他似乎已看到了一个完全不同的世界，所以，他显得信心十足。他的面孔格外清秀柔美，甚至还带着点天真与顽皮。这个一个看似没有城府，充满青春朝气的男人，居然干出了翻天覆地的大事。

You finally see the two characters - Red Square. Red Square is like the first door of the Chinese revolutionary history - everything that follows must start from this door. The Soviet regime established here is the first county-level Soviet regime in Chinese history. You are deeply shocked by the red here - red streets, red walls, red gates. The dazzling red color brings a strong visual stimulus, which makes you feel awe inspiring. The sculpture standing on the Red Square is not tall, but it is very vivid - the young man is wearing a suit and his hair is blown up, looking into the distance. He seems to have seen a completely different world, so he seems confident. His face is particularly delicate, and even a little naive and naughty. This man, who seems to have no shrewdness and is full of youthful vigor, has done earth shaking things

在彭湃的一生中，最能体现其革命精神的，便是他对贫穷的态度。贫穷在南海边的这块红土地上，不仅激起了滚滚的热泪，更激起了愤怒的声讨和剧烈的变革。彭湃虽然只有33的阳寿，但他却穷一生之力，为穷人呐喊。他的理想生活是——“让所有农民都能有田种，有书读，有房住”。在红场的围墙上，有一面浮“彭湃烧田契”的浮雕。你看到年轻的彭湃高举火把，而脚下箱子里的田契已被烧着，四周农民皆以佩服的目光打量着他。彭湃此举惊世骇俗，不仅震惊了整个中国历史，连世界历史也要为之一颤。当他点着田契时，不仅烧光了一堆写着字的纸，还照亮了那个时代的秘密。在那时的阶级体制中，阶级意识早已根深蒂固，每个人都深谙自己的角色。若有人稍稍逸轨也是被允许的，因为大家都知道，那个人不可能彻底地摆脱他的阶级属性。然而，若一位地主之子试图排斥父辈们的惯常做法，甚至用一把火烧掉田契，让农民不再交租，那便是站在了自己阶级的对立面，会被整个阶级所彻底抛弃。在火光中，彭湃变成了一个簇新的人——一个充满理想，愿意为理想而付诸实践，并最终死于理想的人。

==== 汪世博 Wang Shibo====

1922年，从日本早稻田大学政治经济系毕业归来的彭湃，深入海丰县的各个农村，开始从事起农民运动。此前，他也曾深入到日本农村搞调查，然而，他在故乡所看到的贫困令他大为震惊。那时候，生活在海陆丰一带的农民日子极其困苦，不仅是因为高额的地租、高利的盘剥、苛捐和杂税如羊毛般层出不穷，而且，遇到台风暴雨等自然灾害，田主也不免田租，使农民的生活雪上加霜。那时候的农民文化程度都很低，大多数人连自己的名字都不会写，如果和田主打起官司来，输掉的总是农民。故而，那些胼手砥足劳作的人们辛苦四季，还是挣扎在贫困的陷阱中。“山歌一唱闹嚷嚷，农民兄弟真凄凉！早晨食碗番薯粥，夜晚食碗番薯汤。半饥半饱饿断肠，住间厝仔无有梁。搭起两间草寮屋，七穿八漏透月光。”

就在这个的时刻，彭湃来了。他说：“这是帝王乡，谁敢高唱革命歌？哦，就是我。”他还说：“不劳动的人不应该吃饭！”彭湃试图剖析那死水般停滞而腐朽的社会，探索农民辛苦种地反而吃不饱的病因在哪里。作为观察家，彭湃在一般人熟视无睹的现象背后，看到了一个巨大的秘密——农民为什么这么穷？原来，地主阶级就像可怕的寄生虫，叮在农民身上吸血抽髓。彭湃之所以伟大，和他的观察方式与一般人不同有关——他从不刻意回避矛盾，也从不让单线思维困扰住自己；他不仅观察故乡这块土地，还反思整个中国及全世界所面临的土地问题；他将东方和西方的情况进行比对，用批判的眼光对中国问题进行分析；同时，彭湃不是一个囿于书桌的空想主义者，而是一个勇于走向现实的伟大践行者。当他观察到那些令人不安的贫穷现象时，并没有独善其身地躲进小楼成一统，反而走向劳苦大众，试图在实践中探索出一条解决之路。

At this very moment, Peng Pai came. He said, "This is home to the imperial, who dares to sing revolutionary songs here? Oh, it's me." He also said, "Those who don't work shouldn't eat!" Peng Pai tried to dissect the backwaters-like society, which was stagnant and decaying, and to find out the painful cause that led to the starvation of peasants, even though they worked so hard in the fields.As an observer, Peng Pai discovered a great secret behind the phenomenon that people generally ignored - why were the peasants so poor? It turned out that the landlord class was stinging on the peasants and sucking their blood and marrow, just like those disgusting parasites.It was Peng Pai's unique way of observation that made him remarkable - he never tried to avoid contradictions and could always get out of one-dimensional thinking; he not only observed the land in his hometown, but also reflected on the land problems of the whole China, and even the whole world; he compared the situation in the East with that in the West, and analyzed Chinese problems in a critical perspective; at the same time, Peng was not an idealist but a great practitioner brave enough to step into reality.When he observed the disquieting phenomenon of poverty, he did not hide alone to stand aloof, but went to the working class and tried to find out solutions in practice.

于是，彭湃换下学生装，穿起农民的粗布衣服；于是，他“食尽了四乡的茶饭，差不多日日是早出夜归”。在田间地头，他利用各种形式揭露地主剥削农民的罪行，启发农民的阶级觉悟。他的这种行为，和英国作家奥威尔（代表作为《通向威根码头之路》《1984》《动物农场》）颇为相似——为了解英国的底层社会，奥威尔曾和流浪汉厮混在一起，睡同一张床，喝同一只罐子里的茶水，还和矿工们一起在矿井底下劳动。经过一番调查，彭湃既看到了农民的悲惨生活，也预测出若农民联合起来，将会爆发出巨大的能量。他说：“辛亥以前，海丰的农民一直是隶属于满清的皇帝、官僚、绅士和田主这帮压迫阶级，农民怕地主绅士和官府好像老鼠怕猫的样子，终日在地主的斗盖、绅士的扇头、官府的锁链中呻吟过活。”“今天，我们无产阶级中，无有不为经济所压迫感受生活之困难者；终日孜孜劳力而三餐不饱者，固属多之；而因生活费之难以支持，至如卖妻鬻子、堕胎，亦层见叠出，甚者抛弃其生存权，而自尽者亦有之。”

Therefore, Peng Pai changed his student dress and put on the peasant-like coarse clothes; he tasted all the bread and water in the county and worked from morning to night. In the fields, he used all he could to expose the crime of landlords exploiting peasants in order to arouse their class consciousness. This behavior was quite similar to that of the British writer, Orwell (the author of The Road to Wigan Pie, 1984, Animal Farm)— to understand the underclass of English society, Orwell hung out with vagrants, slept with them in the same bed, drank tea from the same jar, and worked with miners underground. After some surveys, Peng not only noticed the miserable life of the peasants, but also predicted that if the peasants united, they would burst out with great energy. And he said, “Before the Revolution of 1911, the peasants of Haifeng had always been subordinated to the oppressive class of emperors, bureaucrats, gentlemen and landlords in the Qing Dynasty, and the peasants were afraid of the landlord gentry and the official government like rats and cats, and groaned all day long because of the oppression from them.” “Today, there are all those in our proletariat who are oppressed by the economy and have the difficulties in making a living; there are many people who work diligently all day long and do not have enough to eat; and because of the difficulty of supporting the cost of living, the sale of wives and children, abortions, and even the abandonment of their right to life happened frequently, and there are also those who commit suicide.”

彭湃成了一个活力四射的演说家，眼光清晰而敏锐。他在田间地头所说的话，如战鼓似响锣，令农民心智大开。彭湃所说出的词语是简单而平实的，但其所阐释的道理却是深刻而复杂的。他不断拓展农民的思维，告诉他们——什么“三下盖伙头鸡”（“三下盖”是指佃户纳租谷还田主时，田主必用斗盖盖三下，而这其实是田主掠夺和侮辱佃户的表示；而“伙头鸡”则是当田主每逢早冬到佃户家收租时，必要佃户贡鸡一只，这其实是额外掠夺）都可以免除净尽……”“我们农民，是世界生产的主要阶级。人类生命的存在，完全是靠我们辛苦造出来的米粒。我们的伟大和神圣，谁敢否认！”“所以，我们一旦觉悟，结合全县农民，组织农会，协力团结，反抗社会一切不合理的制度，争回我们生存的权利……”

Peng Pai became a vigorous speaker with clear and sharp vision. The words he said in the field sounded like war drums and gongs, which gave the farmers' some insight. Though Peng Pai's words were simple and plain, the truth he explained is profound and complex. He constantly expanded the thinking of farmers, telling them "三下盖伙头鸡(三下盖refers to the fact that when the tenant pays the rent to the landholder, the landholder must cover the tenant three times with a bucket, which is actually a manifestation of plundering and insulting of the tenant; while 伙头鸡 means that when the landholder comes to the tenant's house to collect the rent in the early winter, the tenant must pay a chicken additionally, which is actually an additional plunder) would be wiped out utterly" "We peasants are the main class of production in the world. The existence of human life depends entirely on the rice we have worked hard to make. Who can deny our greatness and holiness!" "Therefore, once we become aware of it, we will combine the farmers of the whole county, organize farmers' associations, work together and unite against all unreasonable social systems, and seize back our right to survival.."

最终，农民作为一个阶级就这样崛起了——这不是发生在舞台的戏剧，而是真实生活中的一幕。1922年7月，彭湃与五位农民成立了广东省第一个农民协会——“六人农会”；之后，农会如
滚雪球般越滚越大，从几人至几百、上千、上万人，最终达到几十万人。在1923年的《广东农会章程》中，彭湃提出了这样的纲领——“图农民生活之改造，图农业之发展，图农民之自治，图农民教育之普及”。1924年，彭湃赴广州领导农民运动，创办了农民运动讲习所。1927年，他参加了南昌起义。11月，他领导海陆丰人民做了一件轰动全国的大事——召开了县工农兵代表大会，成立了海陆丰工农兵苏维埃政府。这是中国历史上第一次竖起了苏维埃政权的旗帜，实开了中国无产阶级革命的先河。

Eventually, peasants arose as a class——It was a scene in real life instead of a one on stage.
In July 1922, Peng Peng and other five peasants founded the first peasant association in Guangdong Province, the "Six People's Peasant Association". "After that, the peasant association grew like a snowball, from a few people to hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, and eventually hundreds of thousands of people. In 1923, in the constitution of the Guangdong Peasants' Association, Peng Pai put forward such a program - "to transform the life of the peasants, to develop agriculture, to promote the autonomy of the peasants, and to popularize peasant education". In 1927, he joined the Nanchang Uprising. In November of that year, he led the people of Hailufeng to do a big event, stirring up the whole country - he held a congress of workers, peasants and soldiers in the county and established the Soviet government of workers, peasants and soldiers in Hailufeng. This was the first time in the history of China that the banner of Soviet power was raised, and it was the precursor of the Chinese proletarian revolution.

在《海丰农民运动》这本书里，彭湃详细记录了农会的具体措施——调整租佃关系，防止田主随意提高租金，领导农民减息减灾，遇到歉收时请田主减租额，调节发生争执的会员矛盾，取消码头税，开办农民医药房、农民学校和农业银行，夺回市场管理权，疏浚河流湖塘，取消封建陋规等等。彭湃非常善于从农民的实际利益出发开展斗争，且很注重斗争策略。在革命初期，他将重点放在发展生产和改善农民生活上。经过慢慢引导，他让运动逐渐从经济运动转向政治斗争。时至今日，当你在海丰聆听到彭湃创作的歌谣《田仔（佃户）骂田公（地主）》时，依旧会感觉热血沸腾——

In the book "The Haifeng peasant movement", Pang Pai records in detail the specific measures taken by the peasant associations: adjusting the rent-tenant relationship; preventing field owners from raising rents arbitrarily; leading the peasants to reduce interest and disaster; asking field owners to reduce the amount of rent in case of bad harvests; regulating conflicts among members in case of disputes; abolishing the dock tax; opening peasant medicine houses, peasant schools and agricultural banks; reclaiming the right to manage markets; dredging rivers and lakes; abolishing feudal rules. He also helped the peasants to recover the right to manage the market, dredged rivers and lakes, abolished the feudal rules and so on. Peng Pai was very good at conducting the fight for defending the interests of the peasants and paid much attention to the strategy. In the early days of the revolution, he focused on developing production and improving the livelihood of the peasants. He let the movement gradually shift from an economic movement to a political struggle. To this day, when you listen to the song "Tianzai (tenant) scolds Tiangong (landlord)" composed by Peng Peng Pai in Haifeng, you can still feel the passion.

==== 任嫚嫚 Ren Manman====

冬呀！冬！冬！冬！
　　田仔骂田公：
　　田仔耕田耕到死；
田公着厝食白米！
做个颠倒饿；懒个颠倒好！
是你不知想！不是命不好！　　　　
农夫呀！醒来！农夫呀！勿戆！
地是天作！天还天公！
你无分！我无分！
有来耕，有来食！
无来耕，就请歇！
Dong,dong,dong!
The tenant curses the landlord.
The tenant plows the fields so hard nearly to death
while the landlord has white rice at home.
Those who work go hungry, but those who are lazy live well.
It's because you fail to think, not because you naturally have a bad fate.
O farmer, wake up! O farmer! Stop being simple and ignorant.
The arable land is given by God, and God is fair.
But none of the farmers get a share.
Those who come to plow the land are fed, those who do not plow the land then please rest.

如今，当你来到这片红土地时，距彭湃搞农会不过近百年的时间。此刻的海丰乡村，早已发生了巨变。令海丰人值得骄傲的，是两个省级新农村示范片区的建设——莲花片区涉及3个行政村22个自然村，按照“一河一路五园”的建设思路，先后投入建设资金1.6亿元，完善了各项基础设施建设，建成了一批乡村旅游设施，潮汕民居特色十分突出。这个片区还将茶叶产业与旅游业深度融合，有力地带动了当地农民的增收；海丰县在新山鹿境片区的建设中，共投入建设资金近2亿元，打造出新山、池口等5个行政村。到2019年年底，各项建设已基本完成。县里通过把红色遗址、景观资源与产业经济相融合，发展休闲观光、文化旅游、现代农业等农村经济产业，构建起全产业链新型业态、粤东红色旅游精品线路，成为广东省粤东片区实施乡村振兴战略现场会、广东省抓党建促乡村振兴暨红色村党建示范工程现场会的参观点，高峰时期的日游客量超过2万人。

Today, when you come to this red land, it is only about a hundred years since Peng Pai set up the peasant association. Up to now, great changes have taken place in Haifeng Village. What makes the people of Haifeng Village proud of is the construction of two provincial-level new rural demonstration areas-Lianhua area including 3 incorporated villages and 22 unincorporated villages. According to the construction idea of "one river, one road and five gardens", 160 million yuan has been invested for the construction of various infrastructures and rural tourism facilities, which reflect the prominent characteristics of Chaoshan dwellings. This area also promotes the integration of tea industry and tourism, which has effectively increased the income of local farmers. Haifeng County has invested nearly 200 million yuan in the construction of Xinshanlujing area to build 5 administrative villages including Xinshan and Chikou. By the end of 2019, all constructions have been basically completed.

By integrating red relics, landscape resources and industrial economy, the county has developed various industries of the country economy such as recreation and sightseeing, cultural tourism, modern agriculture, etc. In doing so, it has created a new business pattern of the whole industrial chain and the fine routes of red tourism in east Guangdong, all of which have made the county a visiting site for the on-the-spot meetings on the implementation of rural revitalization strategy in the east Guangdong region and the demonstration of red village construction under the guidance of the Party in Guangdong Province. During the peak tourist time, more than 20,000 people visit it every day.

如今的海丰乡村，早已不是彭湃当年所见到的模样。县里通过落实农业产业发展、农村基础设施建设、“厕所革命”、“三清三拆”等措施，使乡村振兴发展取得明显成效。到2019年年底，海丰县城镇居民人均可支配收入达31310元，增速9.3%；农村居民人均可支配收入17457元，增速 10.4%；农村居民人均可支配收入增速比城镇居民人均可支配收入增速高1.1个百分点。县里还大力推进特色精品村的建设——筹资1.4亿元，在每个镇选择1至2个行政村，全县共计15个村，实施人居环境整治提质升级工程，并在37个省定相对贫困村全面实施新农村示范村建设。最终，通过典型带路、以点带面，深入推进全县人居环境整治，实现农村面貌的焕然一新。到2019年年底，海丰县建档立卡的9089户共27999名贫困人口，人均可支配收入达1.5万元以上，按“八有”标准100%实现稳定脱贫；37条省定贫困村全部达到脱贫标准。

The countryside of Haifeng today has long been different from what Peng Pei saw back then. Through the implementation of measures such as agricultural industry development, rural infrastructure construction,"toilet revolution" and "three clearings and three demolitions", the county has achieved obvious results in the revitalisation and development of the countryside. By the end of 2019, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in Haifeng County reached RMB31,310, with a growth rate of 9.3%; the per capita disposable income of rural residents reached RMB17,457, with a growth rate of 10.4%; the growth rate of the per capita disposable income of rural residents was 1.1 percentage points higher than the growth rate of the per capita disposable income of urban residents. The county also vigorously promoted the construction of distinctive boutique villages - raising 140 million yuan to select one to two administrative villages in each town, a total of 15 villages in the county, to implement the habitat improvement and upgrading project, and to fully implement the construction of new rural model villages in 37 relatively poor provincial villages. Ultimately, through the typical leading the way, point by point, in-depth promotion of the county's human living environment improvement, to achieve a new look of rural areas. By the end of 2019, a total of 27,999 poor people from 9,089 households in Haifeng County will have a per capita disposable income of more than 15,000 yuan, and 100% of them will have achieved stable poverty eradication according to the "eight" standards; all 37 provincial poverty-stricken villages will have reached poverty eradication standards.

当你在海丰县阅读到这些数字时，体会到的是一种神奇的错位感——那些保留在红宫红场纪念馆里的各种文物，让你形象地看到了100年前海丰农民生活的窘迫，而现在的这些数字，却显示了另一种状态的出现。你将信将疑——在这个天涯海角之地，所有的农民都已全部脱贫？所有的贫困村都已全部摘帽？你决心要像上世纪20年代的彭湃那样，到县城所辖的那些村里去实地考察。只有在田间地头看看庄稼的长势，到农民的居舍里看看客厅的摆设，和农民们谈谈他们的收入来源，你才会对这些数字产生真正的敬意。

坡平村

虽然已进入隆冬时节，但岭南的寒冷却是打了对折的。从海丰县城开车到位于西南部的联安镇，一路上在乡村小道上穿梭蛇行，花费了20分钟。据《惠阳地区地名志》记载：传说清代时，石塘、田心、优埔三约（过去的“约”相当于现在的“乡”）代表为避免械斗，在石角头山会旗宣誓，规定各约不得介入械斗，要联合起来保护人民的安全，故取名“联安”。在那条乡村道路的右侧，是一个挨一个的电线杆，拉扯着长长的电线。然而，在道路的左侧却空空荡荡。蜿蜒的道路上铺着沥青，尚且平坦，两侧则是大片大片的田野。那些伫立在远处的屋子显得十分矮小，像个薄薄的袖珍空壳。

Poping village
Although the mid-winter season has come, the cold in Lingnan is not that severe. It took 20 minutes to drive from Haifeng County to Lianan Town, which is located in the southwest, weaving and snaking on the country roads all the way. According to Huiyang District Geographical Names, legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty, the representatives of the three covenants (in the past, "covenant" was equivalent to the present "township") of Shitang, Tianxin, and Youpu met flags and took an oath at the Shijiaotou mountain to avoid armed fights, stipulating that each covenant should not intervene in armed fights and should unite to protect the safety of the people, so that hence the name "Lianan". On the right side of that country road was power poles stood one by one, pulling long wires. However, on the left side of the road was empty. The winding road was paved with asphalt and was still flat, while on both sides were large fields. The houses that stood in the distance looked very small, like thin, pocket-sized empty shells.

==== 漆羿鑫 Qi Yixin====

穿过一座桥后来到了联安镇。坊间流传着这样一句话：“联安熟，海丰足”，足可见这个镇的重要性。总面积有50平方公里的联安镇，共有4万多人，3万亩耕地，1.5万亩鱼塭，不仅是海丰县的革命老区，还是中国重要的湿地之一，也是中国的水鸟之乡。镇里不仅村道纵横，河道密布，且田野广袤，正所谓“背靠八仙状元山，面向长沙银海滩，中间一片肥沃土，地种海耕安居处”。事实上，这并不是你第一次来到联安镇。此前，你已来过三四次。然而，这个镇非常奇怪，每一次都会让你有新的发现。于是，你意识到那种蜻蜓点水的采访，其实收获是甚微的。当一位作家试图描述一个地方时，只去一次是不够的，如果条件允许，应该在不同时间段里反复到达那里，才能体会到那里发生的变化。

After crossing a bridge, you come to Lian'an Town. The widly spread of words "ripe Lian towards rich Haifeng" across the streets shows the importance of this town. Covering a total area of 50 square kilometers, including 30,000 mu of arable land and 15,000 mu of fish farm, Lian’an is home to more than 40,000 population. As an old revolutionary base area of Haifeng County, it is one of the important wetlands and the hometown of water birds in China. Being crisscross with village roads, densely covered with rivers, and vast fields, the town is the so-called "back against the Eight Immortals Zhuangyuan Mountain, facing the Silver Beach of Changsha, with a fertile soil in the middle for farming and living". In fact, you have come here three or four times, not the first time. This town, however, is very strange, and every time you can find something new, so you realize such a cursory interview is much little fruitful. When a writer makes an attempt to describe a place, it is not enough to go there only once. If conditions permit, he should go there repeatedly in different periods, to experience the changes there.

==== 彭琦 Peng Qi ====

联安镇没有高楼，一切都像鸡蛋饼般平摊在阳光下，等待着你的检阅。窄窄的街道两边，是一栋栋三四层的小楼，看起来每一栋都是另一栋的复制品。这个镇看起来既不像城市也不像乡村，而有种半城市化的感觉。这里也有十字路口，但却相当狭窄袖珍；这里也行驶着各类车辆，但大多数人都步行着。你曾在位于镇中心的一家大排档吃过饭——木质圆桌旁摆着红色塑料凳，食客们三三两两绕桌而坐——看起来和别处的小餐厅并无二般。然而，你却记住了在这里品尝到的味道：“好像此前吃过的东西都是赝品！”无论是大铁锅里的煎鱼，还是有着双层膜的螃蟹，或淡粉色的大虾，味道都极为鲜美，是你记忆中味道的100倍。那种浓烈的芬芳让口腔里像开了花，令你通体舒坦。

==== 马明宇 Ma Mingyu====

探究小店美味的来源，你才知道联安县不仅是海丰最为重要的粮仓、蔬菜生产基地，还是海产品基地。这里出品的膏蟹、乌羽蟹、双膜蟹、沙虾、白刺虾、花虾、牡蛎、乌龟等，都是水产市场上的抢手货。那个大排档里的食材自然非常新鲜，且以乡间手工做法烹饪，当然比城市大酒店里流水线操作出的食物更有滋味。事实上，当现代工业技术为人们提供了大量廉价的速食品之后，那些方便面和罐头里，并没有太多的营养价值，而且这些食物还大大破坏了人类原有的味觉系统。生活在城市里的人，因为吃了太多的垃圾食品，变得面色苍白且体质羸弱。

Explore the delicious source of the store, you know that Lian 'An County is not only Haifeng's most important granary, vegetable production base, but also seafood base. The cream crab, black feather crab, double membrane crab, sand shrimp, white thorn shrimp, flower shrimp, oysters, turtles, etc. produced here are all hot goods in the aquatic market. The food in the stall was naturally very fresh and cooked by country hand, certainly more flavorful than the food produced by the assembly line in the city hotel. In fact, when modern industrial technology has provided people with a large number of cheap fast foods, there is not much nutritional value in those instant noodles and canned foods. Moreover, these foods have greatly damaged the original taste system of human beings. People living in cities have become pale and weak from eating too much junk food.

离开镇中心后，车向坡平村驶去。柏油马路在热浪的侵袭下，变得黑乎乎油腻腻。

Leaving the town center, the car headed for Poping Village. The asphalt road became black and greasy amid the heat wave.

道路两侧出现了灌木丛和蜿蜒的河流；河流旁是大片大片的田野，残留着棕色的稻谷茬；白色塑料的大棚整整齐齐，一个挨着一个；山脉宛如强健的肌肉，虬结蜿蜒，直至远方；山脚下燃起烧荒的白烟，丝丝缕缕，与雾霭融为一体；白墙黑瓦的农舍，稀疏地凝立在河岸边。

Shrubs and meandering rivers appeared on both sides of the road; Beside the river are large fields with brown rice stubble; The white plastic sheds were neat, laying one by one; Mountains were like strong muscles, winding up to the distance; At the foot of the mountain, the white smoke of burn was lit, which was continuously mixed with the fog; The farmhouses with white walls and black tiles stood sparsely on the river bank.

这些景象组合在一起，像一曲交响乐，高低起伏，婉转袅娜。你所目睹到的河流，是发源于粤东第一山峰莲花山脉的大液河。

These scenes were like a symphony, rising and falling, mild and graceful. The river you had seen was the Daye River, which originated from the Lianhua Mountain, the highest mountain in eastern Guangdong.

这条河的颜色不是厚重而凝滞的黄色，而是轻快而爽朗的冰蓝色。当大液河蜿蜒过联安镇时，不仅形成了一条曲线优美的缎带，还让缎带两岸形成了具有原始风格的美景。

The color of the river was not deep and stagnant yellow, but light and bright ice blue. When the Daye River winded through Lian'an Town, it not only formed a beautiful ribbon with curves, but also formed a beautiful scenery with original style on both sides of the ribbon.

河岸两侧的河滩上，丛生着黄绿色的茅草，让这里形成了一片天然而难得的湿地。那些在河岸边觅食、嬉戏和繁殖的各类水禽，便视湿地为它们当然的家。最终，这里成为国际东亚候鸟迁徙路线的重要区域，不仅引来许多濒危保护的鸟类过冬——黑脸琵鹭、白琵鹭、紫水鸡（红色的鸟冠，腹部以蓝色点缀，背部以黑色为主调，羽毛光鲜）——还让白鹭成为这里的常住居民。现在，你目光所及的鸟儿约有几百只，伫立在河畔，一个挨一个，像穿着白色军装的士兵般密麻麻。当它们起飞时，翅膀的煽动完全处于同一个频率，而其如积雪般的腹部和背部则完全袒出。显然，它们早已适应了人类的汽车，因为除了沿着河岸低低浅飞，它们并不惊慌，也不打算离开。这片湿地虽然是附近村民的劳动场所，然而，海丰人向来都把水鸟看成是吉祥物，在日常的养殖活动中，从来不排斥水鸟来觅食，故而，在这里会形成人类在忙碌地工作，而水鸟则聚集觅食的和谐景致。

然而，美丽的环境和富裕的生活并不成正比。位于大液河畔的坡平村，是广东省的省定贫困村。现在，这个村由深圳市龙岗区南湾街道办事处、龙岗区政策研究室和汕尾市农业局（2019年6月后是汕尾市委党校）结对帮扶。坡平村的扶贫队长兼第一书记周建华正在村委等着你——身量适中，浓眉大眼，理着短短的小平头，皮肤黧黑，嘴角微笑。据他介绍——村里区域土地面积约2.8平方公里，耕地面积2800亩，鱼塭面积265亩,山林面积850亩。
However, the beautiful environment and the affluent life are not in proportion to each other. Po Ping Village, located on the banks of the Daliyu River, is a provincial poverty-stricken village in Guangdong Province. The village is now twinned by the Nanwan Street Office of Longgang District, Shenzhen, the Policy Research Office of Longgang District and the Shanwei Agricultural Bureau (after June 2019, the Party School of Shanwei Municipal Committee). Zhou Jianhua, the poverty alleviation captain and first secretary of Po Ping Village, is waiting for you at the village committee - a medium-sized man with thick eyebrows, a short, small flat haircut, sallow skin and a smile at the corners of his mouth. According to him - the village area has a land area of about 2.8 square kilometres, with 2,800 mu of arable land, 265 mu of fish farms and 850 mu of mountains and forests.

当周建华带着你在小村行走时，你惊讶地发现，村里非但没有一点萧条破败的模样，反而保持着一种朴素与端庄的洁净——村民们都穿戴整齐，农舍前的空地都扫得干干净净，所有的村道都显得平坦畅通，目光所及的田地里都收拾得十分利落——这让你颇感欣慰。你想起那些在工业城镇里所见到的烟囱、鼓风炉、煤炭厂和矿渣堆，感觉所谓的“文明”或“进步”，有时会将人反噬进自己的肚囊中。然而，如何能既保持乡村世界的靓丽与纯净，又能让身处其中的农民拥有高质量的生活，是摆在乡村发展面前的一个难题。在2016年时，在这个733户的小村里，有78户贫困户共187人。到2019年年底， 187人已全部脱贫，完成了“两不愁、三保障”的目标。然而，这些成绩是如何取得的？

When Zhou Jianhua took you walking in the samll village, you were surprised to notice that instead of being a little depressed and decrepit, the village was maintained with a simple and dignified cleanliness - the villagers were all well dressed, the open spaces in front of the farmhouses were cleanly swept , all the village roads looked flat and smooth, and the fields as far as the eye could see were tidied up very well,which makes you very comfortable. Thinking of the chimneys, blast furnaces, coal plants and slag heaps you see in the industrial towns, you have the feeling that the so-called "civilization" or "progress" sometimes devours people into their own belly. However, how to maintain the beauty and purity of the rural world while allowing the farmers to have a high quality of life is a difficult question posed in front of the development of the countryside. In 2016, there were 78 poor households with a total of 187 people in this small village of 733 households. By the end of 2019, all 187 people had been lifted out of poverty, completing the goal of "two no worries, three guarantees". However, how did these achievements come about?

据周建华书记介绍，驻村工作队来到坡平村，了解到村民的主要经济来源以农业种植和外出务工为主后，及时向帮扶单位深圳龙岗区南湾街道办事处、龙岗区委政策研究室、汕尾市农业局报告情况。上述单位认真研究、精准施策，通过抓住“产业扶贫”这个牛鼻子，结合坡平村的革命历史，制定了以突出现代农业和特色旅游这两个发展主线，力争将“输血式帮扶”改变为“造血式脱贫”。帮扶单位先投资200万元入股海龙投资大厦的项目，让村集体每年能保底收入10万元；又将265亩鱼塭出租，一年便有58万元的收入。在村合作社的带动下，建设起160多亩的线椒种植基地，80多亩的南美对虾养殖基地。
According to the Secretary Zhou Jianhua’s introduction, a working team based on the village came to Poping village. After acknowledging that villagers’ main sources of income were farming and working outside, they reported this to helping units-Nanwan Street Office at the Longgang District in Shenzhen, Policy Research Office of Longgang District Committee, and the Agricultural Bureau in Shanwei City in time. With studying carefully and implementing strategies precisely, these units grasped the key point-poverty alleviation by developing industries and combined it with the revolutionary history of Poping village, formulating two main lines of development that highlighting modern agriculture and featured tour, and working hard for transforming the model of “helping the poor by giving them money and materials” into “poverty elimination by the poor’s self-working”. Firstly, they became a shareholder in a project of Hailong investment building with investing 200 million yuan, which could let the whole village keep earning 100 thousand yuan annually; and then they leased 265 acres of fishpond to others, earning 580 thousand yuan per year. Under the drives of the village corporation, a planting base of chili pepper with more than 160 acres and a breeding base of South America prawn with over 80 acres were built.

水稻是坡平村农民种植面积最广的农作物。然而，每当春耕季节到来时，有些农民便会感觉手头发紧，没有余钱来购买种子和化肥。当你和农户交流后才发现，原来农民想存住钱是件很困难的事——家里总有人会生病、总有人需要买衣服、总要招待亲朋好友。农民们总是生活在巨大的压力之下，而在这种压力的胁迫下，他们经常会犯冲动消费的错误；再加上小村临海，经常会受到台风等自然灾害的影响，令农作物收成很不稳定。综上原因，工作队不仅向贫困户免费发放袁隆平优质水稻，还同时发放化肥，以及帮助他们购买保险等惠农措施，鼓励贫困户大力种植优质水稻，以提高家庭收入。果然，在扶贫干部的帮助下，村民们大大提振了种植水稻的信心，使得村里水稻面积扩大至1000多亩。

Rice was the most widely planted crop in Poping village. When the spring ploughing came, however, some farmers were hard up and had no money to spare for seeds and chemical fertilizer. After talking to farmers, you realized that it was very difficult for them to save money -- there was always a family member being sick, or a member needing new clothes, or relatives and friends who needed entertaining. Farmers had always been living under great stress. Due to the stress, they often made the mistake of impulsive spending; moreover, the village was near the sea and frequently affected by natural disasters such as typhoons, which made the crop yields dramatically unstable. In conclusion, the task force distributed free high-quality rice developed by Yuan Longping and chemical fertilizer to the poverty-stricken households, and also helped them buy insurance and other favorable measures that benefit agriculture, which encouraged them to vigorously plant high-quality rice so as to increase their household income. Sure enough, with the help of poverty alleviation cadres, the villagers greatly boosted their confidence in planting rice, which had allowed the rice-planting area of the village to expand to more than 1,000 mu.

坡平村虽然和其它贫困村一样，有着农民收入偏低的问题，然而，这个村却拥有一段不平凡的历史。如何在抓好农业生产这个最基本的问题后，让扶贫工作有创新性，是摆在工作队面前的另一个问题。周建华带领工作队员，仔细研究村里的革命历史。原来，这个村有着丰富的红色资源——村里被国家民政部评为烈士的有35人，其中亚前彭自然村就有22名。这个结果和彭湃当年搞农民运动密不可分。原来，在1922年时，彭湃曾来到坡平村宣传革命，得到了村里的彭桂、彭元漳、彭元岳等人的全力支持。在彭湃的领导下，他们在村里办起了“农民学校”，以教村民识字为掩护宣传革命思想。到1923年春天，坡平村已成立了农会，建立起了农军，设立了支部，成为周围十八乡率先起来闹革命的“赤卫村”。然而在大革命期间（1924年至1927年），坡坪村遭到国民党反动势力10多次疯狂围剿，100多名赤卫队员和一批革命群众惨遭杀害。有个村小组共有170多人，被杀害的就有81人，15户被灭门。彭桂一家9人参加革命，8位在残酷的斗争中献出了生命。

Poping village, like other poor villages,is fraught with low-income peasants, but however it has an extraordinary history compared to others. How to make poverty alleviation work innovative after addressing the most fundamental issue of agricultural production is another pending problem facing the task force. Zhou Jianhua led the team to study the revolutionary history of the village. It turns out that this village is rich in revolutionary resources ---35 villagers has been listed by the national Ministry of Civil Affairs as martyrs, of which Yaqianpeng natural village includes 22. This result is greatly attributed to Peng Pai's peasant movement. In 1922, Peng Pai had come to Poping Village to publicize the revolution, and was fully supported by villagers like Peng GUI, Peng Yuanzhang, Peng Yuanyue. Under Peng Pai's leadership, they set up a "peasant school" in the village to spread revolutionary ideas under the cover of teaching the villagers to read. By the spring of 1923, Poping Village had set up a peasant association, an army of peasants and a Party branch, making it the first "Red Protecting Village" in the surrounding villages to rebel. However, during the Northern Expedition (1924 to 1927), the village was attacked more than 10 times by Kuomintang reactionary forces, and over100 Red Guards and a number of revolutionary masses were brutally killed. In one village group of more than 170 people, 81 people were killed and 15 families were exterminated. Eight out of nine members of Peng Gui's family participated in the revolution sacrificed in the cruel struggle.

周建华和他的队友们还深入贫困户家中，向他们打听当年彭湃闹革命的事情。每一户人家都会说起“彭湃赠送12匹白马”的故事——原来，在1927年，当海丰县成立了全中国第一个县级苏维埃政权后，很多村庄都举行了庆祝活动，坡平村也用请戏班演大戏来庆祝。那一天，在县城的红场上，彭湃将缴获敌人的12匹白马赠送给坡平村的农军，以示祝贺。当彭桂及农军将这些白马骑回村里时，所有的村民都出门迎接。只见他们雄赳赳地骑在白马上，在村子里绕圈疾驰，扬起阵阵尘埃。农军们还在戏台前进行了钻火圈的表演，令村民们欢呼雀跃。时至今日，人们说起那一天的盛况，还双眼发亮，情绪激昂。

Zhou Jianhua and his teammates also came to the home of impoverished households and inquired about the revolution brought about by Peng Pai. Every family would talk about a story that Peng Pai gave away 12 white horses. It turns out that many villages celebrated when Haifeng County established China’s first Soviet regime at county level in 1927, villagers in Poping did the same thing—they invited a troupe to perform. On that day, Peng Pai gave 12 white horses seized from enemies to peasant commanders in Poping village to send his congratulations on Hongchang. When Peng Gui and the rest of peasant commanders rode them to their village, all villagers came out to welcome them. These dashing riders circled round the village, leaving dust behind them. They also jumped through fire hoops on the stage, attracting jubilant villagers. When people recall those scenes, their emotions are still running high with their eyes blazing until now.

在海丰县203个行政村中，坡平村的历史是红彤彤的。怎样才能用好这笔历史遗产呢？原来，海丰县已投入1015万元，用于全县所有行政村的建设规划。县里决定在联安镇、莲花山、大湖湿地、黄羌林场、南粤古驿道等周边农村大力发展“农业观光”“民俗农庄”“休闲运动”等乡村旅游产业，以激发乡村新活力。县里将联安镇的坡平村、附城镇的新山村、黄羌林场的富足园村等红色村庄进行升级打造，最终建成特色村。目前，全县有省级文化和特色村1个，省级乡村旅游精品路线1条，省级休闲与乡村旅游示范点5个。由海丰县扶贫办整合全县有劳动能力贫困户的扶贫资金，投入红色旅游扶贫项目，按年收益7%分给贫困户。目前，坡平村36户有劳动能力的贫困户，每年每户的分红可达1400元。

昔日的坡平村杂草丛生、满目疮痍，如今，村里已修复和重建了广场、革命英烈纪念馆、烈士故居等旧址，令整个村庄干净而整洁，宁静而优美。当你来到亚前彭村小组时，这里已成为一个爱国主义教育基地和党员廉政教育基地。你看到彭湃于上世纪二十年代到村里搞革命的场景，已变成墙壁上的巨型画面；而彭桂、彭元漳等烈士的故居皆粉刷一新，整齐干净；以前那个屋顶破旧、墙壁斑驳的农会旧址，现在变成了展览馆，拥有簇新的青色墙面和红色的大门，馆内的布置相当现代化。周建华颇为自豪地说：“联安镇的坡平村委、附城镇的新山村委、梅陇镇的永红村委等村委，被汕尾市推荐为市村庄规划优秀案例，在广东省进行宣传推广。”

黄小雄家的屋子面积虽然不大，但却拾掇得相当整洁——铺了瓷砖的地面扫得很干净，各种用品摆放得整整齐齐，就连灶台上的锅碗都擦拭得晶莹发亮，而卫生间里也铺了瓷砖，很是顺眼。显然，这个家一定有个勤快的女主人。果然，妻子叶少华看着就是个利索人——一头齐耳短发的她，虽然已有56岁，但却皮肤白皙，眉清目秀，模样甚为端庄秀美。她穿着件褐色毛衣，怀里抱着个小女孩，穿了件粉红色的上衣。“这是一岁多的小孙女！”奶奶看着那花骨朵般的女孩时，满眼都是慈爱和怜惜。59岁的黄小雄站在一旁微笑着，一头黑色短发里已掺杂着些许银丝。然而，他却显得相当英武——除了浓眉细眼、高鼻阔嘴外，他的骨架相当高大，约有1.8左右。只见他肩膀宽阔，腰肢细长，双腿健硕，浑身无丁点赘肉。

这个男主人穿着一件黑白相间的长袖T恤，微笑时神态严肃谦恭，但却丝毫不失尊严。一切都显得那么美好，然而，你总觉得哪里不对劲。当你再次凝视这位已是爷爷的男人时，你恍然大悟——原来，他的肤色黝黑至极。

The host wore a black and white long-sleeved T-shirt and looked serious and modest when smiling, without losing any dignity. Everything seemed so wonderful. However, you could not help feeling something strange still. When you stared at the man again, who had already been a grandfather, it suddenly dawned on you that his skin was extremely black.

在广东定居十年有余，你早已习惯了本地人所特有的那种黧黑肤色。由于长时间暴露在热带阳光下，生活在岭南的人要比生活在西北的人接受到更多的日照，所以皮肤便会显得更黑。然而，当你目睹到黄小雄的肤色时，还是暗中倒抽一口凉气。那种黑可谓是焦黑——无论是面孔、脖颈或双手——全都像被放在炭火上烧烤过。然而，那种焦黑的浓度，又没有达到非洲人的颜色，而只是比日常所见的人更黑一些。在这种焦黑肤色的衬托下，这个男人的牙齿从整个面部跳脱出来，显得特别洁白。

After setting life in Guangdong for over ten years, you had already gotten used to the especially black skin of the locals. Since they were exposed to tropical sunshine for a long time, people living in Lingnan would receive more sunshine than those living in the northwest and thus had blacker skin. However, when looking at Huang Xiaoxiong’s skin color, you would still take a breath confidentially. That kind of black could be called burnt black. His face, neck, and hands all looked like being burnt over a charcoal fire. Nevertheless, the degree of that burnt black didn’t reach the color of Africans. It’s just blacker than that of ordinary people. The man’s teeth seemed to have jumped out of his face and looked especially white against his burnt-black skin color.

当他张口说话时，你再次倒抽口凉气——居然是极为流利的普通话！改革开放四十年，让生活在广东的中年青人大多可熟练使用普通话，但那些年近六旬的老人家们，一般都会把普通话说得磕磕绊绊。若能熟练掌握，定是在外面闯荡过，而不是将生活半径仅仅局限在村子里。于是，你对眼前这个男人充满了好奇。

When he opened his mouth to speak, you took another breath—it was extremely standard mandarin! 40 years of reform and opening up had enabled most young and middle-aged people living in Guangdong to speak mandarin fluently. But as for those old people near 60 years old, they would usually speak mandarin with stumbles. If someone could speak it fluently, he or she must have worked outside, instead of circling himself or herself in a small village. Therefore, you felt very curious about the man in front of you.

作为一家之主，他谈起了自己的孩子们——大女儿已32岁，嫁到广西，育有3个孩子；小女儿30岁，嫁到陆丰，育有2个孩子。小女儿除了照顾孩子外，还在家里做些首饰装配；小儿子23岁，在梅陇镇的首饰厂打散工，收入很不稳定——有活的时候收入多，没活的时候便没进项。平均下来，一个月也就3000元的收入。除去800元的房租费和一些日常生活的费用后，几乎存不下什么钱。今天着实碰巧，远在广西的大女儿黄树颖回了娘家。当她从里屋走出来时，你的眼前一亮——这个女子的脑后梳着条粗黑的马尾，上身穿白T恤，下身是黑裤子，皮肤和母亲一样白净细嫩，眉眼相当标致。她热情地招呼你喝茶，周身都洋溢着青春的活力。你不禁陷入纳闷——这样一家人，看着如此整齐而体面，待人又如此和气而周到，何以会让生活陷入困顿？

==== 李可依 Li Keyi====

原来，导致这个家陷入贫困境地的，是一场突如其来的大病。那是2013年，当黄小雄发现脖子上的淋巴变得肿大，便赶忙到医院检查。万万没想到，他居然被确诊为鼻咽癌！这消息如炸弹，让全家人都感觉手脚麻木。怎么办？唉！先不要想太多，赶紧住院吧！在医院里度过的那两个月，让黄小雄经历了双重煎熬——他的肉身和他的精神都极为痛苦。在做了各种检查之后，他准备接受一次大手术。虽然历经了各种各样的花式疼痛，可他都没有落下一滴泪，然而，看到那十几万的医药费清单时，他的眼泪忍不住淌下来。虽然这些费用报销了不少，但家里也补贴了很多，而且，他躺在医院里，也让家里丧失了一个劳动力。出院后，他的身体大不如从前，不仅干不了太重的活计，还要定期去医院复查，每查一次便要花费一万多呢！

It turns out that what led the family into poverty was a sudden and serious illness. In 2013, when Huang Xiaoxiong noticed that the lymph in his neck had become swollen, he rushed to the hospital for a checkup. To his surprise, he was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer! The news was like a bomb, making the whole family feel numb. What to do? Alas! Don’t think too much about it first, hurry to the hospital! The two months he spent in the hospital were a double ordeal for Huang Xiaoxiong - his body and spirit were both in great pain. After various tests, he was ready to undergo a major surgery. Although he experienced all kinds of pain, he did not shed a single tear, however, when he saw the list of more than 100,000 medical bills, he could not stop his tears from trickling down. Although these expenses were reimbursed a lot, his family still paid a lot, and, while he was laying in the hospital, there was one less laborer in the family. After he was discharged from the hospital, his health was not as good as it used to be, not only could he not do heavy work, but he had to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, and each check-up cost more than 10,000!

==== 李佳珺 Li Jiajun====

俗话说，祸不单行。就在丈夫出院刚刚两年时，妻子又检查出糖尿病。之后，她因为脑血栓而引发了中风，致使嘴歪腿软，根本无法下地走动。经过一年多的治疗，耗费了一万多的医药费，最终才勉强好起来。夫妻双双遭受病痛折磨，而女儿们又都远嫁别处，儿子只有一份勉强维持的散工，于是，这个家便像一座屋顶镂空的房子，显得摇摇欲坠。2015年，当扶贫工作队进村进行审核时，他家便被核定为贫困户。

As the saying goes, it never rains but it pours. Just two years after the husband left the hospital, the wife was diagnosed with diabetes. She then suffered a stroke due to cerebral thrombosis, which left her mouth crooked and her legs weak and couldn’t walk around at all. It took more than one year and over 10,000 yuan for the treatment to get her finally barely well. The couple both suffered from illness, but their daughters were all married far away, and their son was a casual laborer who could barely support himself. As a result, the home was like a hollowed out roof of the house, appeared to be crumbling. In 2015, when the poverty alleviation team visited the village for an audit, his family was certified as a poor household.

黄小雄陷入回忆——早在上世纪80年代家庭联产承包制时，村里给他家分了七八亩地。那时，大家都种水稻和西兰花，他家也不例外。然而，水稻卖不了什么好价钱，而西兰花则要看市场行情。全家人在地里从年头忙到年尾，算了算帐，才有几千元收入，除了勉强果腹别无盈余。如此忙碌却还是如此清贫，令一家之长陷入忧思。2010年，黄小雄做出了一个决定——将地让给亲戚种，举家搬到梅隆镇，靠做生意挣钱。他这样一个农民，前半生积攒的都是种地经验，并没有其它过硬的技术，手头也没有很多本钱，能做什么生意呢？他决定从最基本的小生意入手——卖鱼。

Huang Xiaoxiong fell into memory—back in the 1980s, when the household contract responsibility system was implemented, the village allocated seven or eight acres of land to his family. At that time, everyone planted rice and broccoli, his family was no exception. However, rice did not fetch a good price, while broccoli depended on the market. The whole family was busy in the field from the beginning to the end of the year, but they had only a few thousand yuan of income, which was barely enough for them to make a living. In 2010, Huang Xiaoxiong made a decision to give up the land to his relatives and move his family to Meilong Town to earn money from business. However, he had accumulated no other skills except for the experience in farming during the first half of his life, and does not have a lot of capital, what kind of business can be done? He decided to start with the most basic and small business—selling fish.

==== 蒋正君 Jiang Zhengjun ====

每日凌晨4点起床，这男人便急匆匆出门，赶往鲘门镇的码头。他要在这里等第一批从海上归来的渔船靠岸，在以批发价购买到足够多的鱼类后，他再包车拉到梅隆镇市场出售。唉，他赚
的都是些辛苦钱——一斤22元的鱼，在市场上卖25元。做生意有风险，总是时好时坏——有时，他踩对了点子，批来的鱼很受顾客欢迎，很快便销售一空；可有时，他的运气总是很背，剩下一堆鱼却卖不掉。全家人就这样忙碌着，一个月能挣上5000多元就算相当不错。虽然忙碌而辛苦，但却比种地要强。听到这个男人谈及往事时，你的面孔微微发烫——你曾被这里出产的鱼、虾、蟹所打动，念念不忘那种神奇的滋味。以致感慨自己曾经吃过的海鲜都是赝品，然而，你对卖鱼人的艰辛生活却毫不知情。

==== 姜雨露 Jiang Yulu====

2015年，黄小雄又做出了另一个决定——重返坡平村，重新开始种地。在他做完鼻咽癌手术后还要不断化疗，对身体损耗极大，故而医生叮嘱他要好好休养；妻子在中风后逐渐恢复了身体，更需要一个安稳而祥和的环境疗养。黄小雄重回老家侍弄起土地，过起了“日出而作日落而息”的乡村生活。对于这个决定，他从来都没有后悔过。当他家被核定为贫困户后，村里的扶贫干部便针对他家的情况进行帮扶——先是免费发放袁隆平研发的水稻良性种子；又免费发放化肥等农资用品；通过虾养殖项目，每年可有1.5万元分红（包括2018年、2019年）；入股县里的“红色旅游”后，每年有1400元分红。除了这些帮扶之外，最令黄小雄感慨的，是“以奖代补”政策——为鼓励贫困户通过种地或打工致富，政府决定，贫困户每种一亩地可补1000元。这个政策让老黄家在2017年领到补助6000元；2018年为7500元；2019年为3850元。

==== 黄舒威 Huang Shuwei ====

事实上，贫困户和他们所做营生的矛盾之处在于——虽然他们精力充沛，拥有丰富的资源，而且做着白手起家的努力，但他们的大部分精力都花在了和周围很多其他人同样的事情上，这就让他们很难赚到更多的钱，由此，也便失去了过上富裕生活的机会。当扶贫干部发现坡平村的土壤和水质很适合种植番石榴时，便鼓励黄小雄干起来。可他却显得有些犹豫：“树不挂果怎么办？”“我们找专家来解决啊！”“销售不出去怎么办？”“我们来帮你联系啊！”于是，从2017年开始，老黄便在地里忙活了起来——当他将一根根树苗栽种到大田里时，满怀着希望。在安全地度过了2018年后，这片番石榴树在2019年年底时挂满了果实。按这个情况预算，番石榴的收入应在2万元左右。

听说你想去地里看看时，黄树颖爽朗地答应道：“没问题！”于是，你坐在她的摩托车上出发，而后面跟着骑摩托车的周建华书记。你们一路颠簸，在穿过了几条乡村小路后，又拐上了一条大路，之后，来到了一片田野。当摩托车试图穿过鱼塘中的那条碎石小路时，因为颠簸得实在厉害，你赶忙跳下来推着车往前走。穿过碎石小路后，是一片开阔的田野，正午的阳光将琥珀色涂抹在一丛丛绿树上——啊！这就是黄小雄精心种植的番石榴树！这盛景令你不禁感慨——有时，贫穷并不仅仅意味着缺钱，它还会使人丧失挖掘自身潜力的能力。

==== 侯永芬 Hou Yongfen====

现在，长在地埂两侧的番石榴树，每一棵都有一米多高，叶片硕大，果实青绿。穿行在地埂间，你像来到了某个郊区的小公园——林地里打理得十分干净，没有任何多余的杂草，而且树与树的间隔都是等距离的。你感慨自己多么幸运——居然看到了正在开花的番石榴！在你的视线中，那团白色花瓣有五片，正紧紧地相互挤挨着，中间簇拥的花蕊，像是一团正在绽放的乳白色烟花。在那个温柔的核心地带，集中了世界上一切的甜美。你发现虽然枝头挂满了果实，但那一个个拳头大小的东西，并不是青绿色的，而是白色的。却原来，果农为了保护果实不受伤害，怀着极大的耐心，在所有果实的外面都裹上一层白色的塑料袋。果农在干这件事时需要十二万分的小心——既要让袋子将果实全部包住，又不能在操作过程中伤害到侧旁的果实。

Now, the guava trees growing on both sides of the ridge are more than one meter height, with huge leaves and green fruits. Walking through the ridge, you feel like you've come to a small suburban park -- the woodland is perfectly manicured, there are no more weeds, and the trees are spaced equidistant. You sigh how lucky you are to see a guava in bloom! In your line of sight, the group of white petals have five pieces which are tightly squeezed next to each other. The the cluster of stamens in the middle is like a blooming milky fireworks. In that tender core, all the sweetness of the world is concentrated. You see that the branches are covered with fruit. However, the fist-sized things are not turquoise but white. It turns out that in order to protect the fruit from harm, with great patience, all the fruit outside are wrapped in a layer of white plastic bags. Growers need to be extremely careful to do this -- to make sure that the bag covers all the fruit without damaging the side fruit in the process.

放眼望去，你的心里微微一抖——这个工程真不算小！那些上万颗的果实，都被套上了袋子，这便意味着套袋子这个动作，被黄小雄重复了一万次以上。你终于恍然大悟——何以他的肤色会那么黝黑！因他长时间暴露在田野，为这些树上的果实套袋子，所以他的整个面孔、脖颈和胳膊，都被阳光反复地炙烤过。你不觉心疼起来——这个男人在这块地里留下了多少汗滴？要知道，他不仅是一个接近六旬的老人，还是一个要做化疗的病人！若在城里，他是个马上要过退休生活的人，而在这里，他还拿自己当主劳力呢！

你想起刚才在老黄的屋子里，他对你说起的心里话。自2013年得病后，他便一直陷入到焦虑之中，觉得这个家可能撑不起来了；后来妻子中了风，更让他感觉雪上加霜，心灰意懒。2015
年，他决定重返村子时，只是想着边种地边修养身子。他根本想不到好日子居然都排在后头。2017年对老黄来说是个特别的好年头——他不仅开始种植番石榴，还申请到了5000元的医疗救助。他还盖起了栋新房子——虽然自己花费了9万元，但通过国家的危房补助政策，又拿到了4万元的补助。而之后，通过“以奖代补”政策获得补助和年底有各种分红，都是他始料未及的事情。他觉得一切都像是在做梦，但却又清晰地发生在眼前！黄小雄的眼神亮晶晶的——他是个见过世面的男人，也是个勤劳肯干的男人，更是个懂得生活真谛的男人！现在，这个平凡而普通的一家人，维持着一种简朴而自尊的生活。虽然他们的手头上没有太多余钱，但一家人生活在一起，心情却是笃定而踏实的。

离开番石榴种植基地，从那条颠簸的石子路穿过时，你驻足在水塘旁。周建华书记介绍说——“这可不是岭南惯常所见的鱼塘，而是扶贫干部们争取到的对虾养殖基地！”你一听，两眼放光——就是这些鱼塘，为村里有劳动力的贫困户每年带来1.5万元的分红？周建华连忙点头。看起来，这个坑洼之地的模样极为普通，现在，正午的阳光让灰色水面变成一块块镜子。当你试图从表面朝下看时，根本看不到内里的情形——那是一汪姜黄色的浊水，完全看不到鱼虾在游动，或水草在摇摆。唯一让这片水域显得与众不同的是，在平稳的水面上，浮凸着一台增氧机。现在，正是从那条机器里辐射出的现代化气息，才让这片水域显得极为特别。当你站在水塘边时，感觉呼吸有些粘滞，好像空气停止了流动，身体处于一个密闭的空间里。你真不敢相信这里的气温——现在已是十二月底，可岭南的正午依旧炽烈火爆。你想象着那些村民在鱼塘里劳作时，应该满头大汗吧？而他们的皮肤，也应该被晒得像黄小雄一样黝黑发亮吧？

As you leave the guava plantation and cross the bumpy gravel road, you stop by the pond.
Secretary Zhou Jianhua introduced_"This is not the fish pond commonly seen in Lingnan, but the prawn breeding base won by poverty alleviation cadres!" As soon as you listen, your eyes shine_are these fish ponds, which bring 15,000 yuan of dividends to poor households with labor force in the village every year? Zhou Jianhua nodded quickly. The potholed place looked very ordinary, and now the midday sun turned the gray water into mirrors. When you try to look down from the surface, you can't see the inside at all-it's a turquoise pool of water, and you can't see fish swimming or grass swaying. The only thing that makes the water stand out is an aerator that bulges out of the smooth water. Now, it was the modernity radiating from that machine that made the water so special.When you stand at the edge of the pond, your breath feels a little sticky, as if the air has stopped flowing and your body is in a confined space. You can't believe the temperature here. Because its the end of December, but the sunshine in Linnan is still hot You imagine those villagers working in fish ponds, should be sweating? and their skin should be as tanned as Huang Xiaoxiong

当63岁的黄子华开口说话时，语调非常缓慢——比一般人放慢了语速后的速度还要慢——好像是一位祖父在对婴儿说话那般。听着那慢条斯理的话语时，你非但没有感受到舒服，然而觉得身子越来越凉，像撞在了一块冰山上。刚刚，你从正午的番石榴地里走过，在燠热的水塘旁驻足，而此刻，你却像走进了一座冷藏室。现在，你面前的这个男人梳着三七开的小分头，穿着件灰黑相间的夹克衫和蓝裤子，显得矍铄而清瘦。除了门牙有些脱落外，他的面部看起来没什么毛病，然而，他的那双眼睛却什么都看不见！你发现他的黑发里已有了白丝，面孔上也有轻微的皱纹。而这些细微之处，他自己是无从可知的。你凝视他的时候，感觉心尖上有种疼痛与酸楚混合在一起的味道。你感慨——原来，穷人的生活充满了风险！虽然，他们也会像预备过冬的鸟儿般，用嘴叼来一根根茅草做起窝，以防寒冷的侵袭。然而，他们却无法预测一场暴风雪的强度和力度。

When Huang Zihua began to speak, the 63-year-old man spoke very slowly,even more than the average person would do, as if a grandfather was talking to a baby. Instead of feeling comfortable, you felt your body getting colder and colder, like you're hitting an iceberg. It goes like that you have just walked through a guava field at middle day and stopped by a sultry pond, but now you are walking into a freezer. The man in front of you was hale and lean, with a small-parted haircut, a grey-and-black jacket, and a pair of blue trousers. Apart from some loss of incisors, there was nothing wrong with his face, but he could see nothing! You noticed that there were grey strands in his black hair and slight wrinkles on his face. But these subtleties were invisible to him. As you stared at him, you felt a mixture of pain and sorrow at the tip of your heart. You sighed – the life of the poor is full of risks! Just like birds taking a straw in their beaks and making a nest to protect themselves from the cold, they did prepare for the winter, however, they could not predict the strength and intensity of a snowstorm.

当你听他说起他的事情时，像是在看一部恐怖片，整个人都被惊悚情节所慑住！2002年时，当黄子华骑着的摩托车着火后，他简直处于束手无策的状态——那迎面而来的风将火苗吹到了他的身上，令整个胸膛全都燃烧起来。大火将他的头发和眉毛全部烧掉，又将他的双手烧得变形，还将他的前胸烧坑坑洼洼，像月球的表面。唉，屋漏偏遭连阴雨！到2007年时，他发现自己的眼睛开始一点点萎缩。在反复的挣扎后，双眼彻底失明。现在，留存他瞳孔中的人间影像，像一只高空中的风筝，早已遁形在远处的迷雾中。你恍然大悟——正是因为失明，才让他有了那种虽然慢条斯理，但却又和一般人的慢完全不同的语速。原来，在这种“慢”里，裹挟着因看不见而生出的各种犹豫。现在，他完全靠着听力来判断外部世界——现在，他不知道你长得是什么模样，也不知道你采访的目的是什么，更不知道自己以何种态度来迎接你。故而，虽然他站在屋里对你说“请坐请坐”，但其实，他像一台发电机，一直在嗡嗡嗡地旋转，满怀各种疑问。

When you listen to him talk about his story, it's like watching a horror movie. You are completely frightened by the thrilling plot! In 2002, when the motorcycle that Huang Zihua was riding caught fire, he was in a state of helplessness——the oncoming wind blew the flames onto his body, making his whole chest burn up. The fire burned off his hair and eyebrows, burned his hands out of shape, and burned his front chest so badly that it became bumpy and rough, just like the surface of the moon. Alas, the house leaks and it suffers from continuous rain! By 2007, he found that his eyes began to shrink bit by bit. After repeated struggles, his eyes went completely blind. Now, the earthly image that remained in his pupil has long been hidden in the distant fog just like a kite in the high sky. You suddenly understand——it is because of his blindness that he has a speech speed that is slow and logical but completely different from that of ordinary people. It turns out that this "slowness" is wrapped in all kinds of hesitation caused by the blindness. Now, he relies entirely on his hearing to judge the outside world——now, he does not know what you look like, or what the purpose of your interview is, not to mention what kind of attitude he should greet you with. Therefore, although he stands in the room and says "please sit down, please sit down" to you, in fact, he is like a generator which is buzzing and rotating all the time, and is full of all kinds of questions.

你不禁思忖起来——也许有时候，一场国际金融风暴对偏远地区的农民影响甚微，但一场意外的交通事故，或一场疾病，却会对他们造成严重的打击。有研究者发现，即使是在正常的年份，农业收入每年都会发生很大的变化。在孟加拉国的任何一个正常年头，农业工资可以高出或低于其平均工资水平的18%；而印度的农业工资的变化幅度是美国的21倍——因为美国农民都有保险，即便是收成不好的年头，他们可通过获得补贴而不致让生活水准大幅度下降。对于穷人来说，风险不仅仅限于收入或食品，还包括健康。然而，在中国那些偏僻的山村里，为自己的健康进行保险的人寥若星晨，故而一旦发生了危机事件，对这个家庭来说便是灭顶之灾。

You can't help but wonder -- maybe sometimes an international financial storm has little impact on farmers in remote areas; however, an accidental traffic accident or a disease can hit them very hard. Researchers have found that even in normal years, industrial incomes can vary obviously from year to year. In any normal year in Bangladesh, industrial wages can be 18% above or below the average wage; while industrial wages in India vary 21 times as much as in the United States, where farmers are insured and even in bad years they receive subsidies, without a sharp drop in their livelihoods. For the poor, the risks are not limited to salaries or food, but also health. Nevertheless, in remote villages in China, where so few people can be insured for their health, once there’s a crisis, it can be devastating for the family.

也许人们会这样想——黄子华是不是太倒霉了！骑在摩托车上着火的概率并不高，怎么单单被他碰到了？这场偶发事件造成了灾难性的后果——他不仅浑身被烧伤，在医院治疗耗费一笔开支外，还大大折损了身体的元气，再也无法胜任重体力劳动。丧失劳动力对普通农户来说，是非常重的打击。然而，令他万万没想到的是，这一次的灾难居然不是终结版。几年后，他被视力下降的痛苦所折磨，最终，眼前一片暗黑。作为男人，作为家里的顶梁柱，他不仅丧失了劳动能力，且陷入需要他人照顾的困境。连续的厄运就这样降临在这个人家，像蜘蛛编网般，将全家人陷入困境。

Perhaps people will think that Huang Zihua is not too unlucky! The probability of catching fire on a motorcycle is not high, how did he just touch it? The accident had disastrous consequence-not only was he burned all over and spent a fortune in hospital treatment, but he was also so debilitated that he could no longer perform heavy physical work. The loss of labor is a huge blow to the ordinary farmer. However, what he never expected was that this disaster was not the end. A few years later, he suffered from the pain of failing eyesight and, eventually, darkness. As a man, as the breadwinner of the family, he was not only unable to work, but also in need of care. In this way, a succession of bad luck fell on the family, like a spider's web, entangling the whole family.

和别的人家相比，这个家显得有些凌乱——客厅的面积不大，地上铺着瓷砖，但却有灰尘；窄长的茶几上摆着茶壶和茶杯，烟灰缸里有残渣；柜子上有台小电视，冰箱上则放着照明灯；一叠鼓鼓囊囊的袋子倚墙堆着，红木沙发上是米袋和面袋。然而，当你进入卫生间后，却发现地面镶嵌着瓷砖，安装着淋浴器和抽水马桶，显得相当整洁。据周建华书记介绍——这是海丰县“小厕所、大革命”的成果。原来，为了有力地改变农民群众的生活条件和生活习惯，海丰县进行了一场“厕所革命”。具体的措施是——对于那些建档立卡的贫困户，政府对其家中的厕所全资给予建设；而对其他农户则采用奖补方式进行补贴，每户补助金额达2700元以上；同时，县里还完成了无害化卫生户厕改造2147个，无害化卫生户厕普及率达100%；完成了卫生公厕建设624个，完成农村公厕新建和改造任务数的100%。

Compared with the others , this house is a little messy-- the living room is small, tiled but dusty; there are teapots and teacups on the narrow end table and scraps in the ashtray; there is a small TV on the counter and a light on the refrigerator. A stack of bulging bags are stacked against the wall. On the mahogany sofa are bags of rice and flour. However, when you enter the bathroom, you can see that the floor is tiled, equipped with a shower and a flush toilet, and it looks quite neat. According to Zhou Jianhua, Secretary of Haifeng County, it is the result of the "small toilet, big revolution" in the county. In fact, in order to effectively change the living conditions and living habits of peasant masses, Haifeng County carried out a "toilet revolution". Specific measures include: for registered poor households, the government granted full ownership to build toilets in their homes; for other peasants, the amount of subsidies reached more than 2,700 yuan per household by means of incentives and compensation. At the same time, the county also renovated 2,147 harmless sanitary toilets, the penetration rate of harmless sanitary toilets reached 100 percent; it also completed the construction of 624 sanitary public toilets, which accounted for 100 percent of the construction and renovation of rural public toilets.

看着黄子华的模样，你不禁替这个家担忧起来——当男主人身强力壮时，可维持一家人的生计，但在接二连三的灾难降临后，这个家赚的钱会越来越少。这个家会堕入“贫穷陷阱”，继而踏上永久的贫穷之路吗？有研究表明：在印尼，如果一个家庭成员得了重病，那么这个家庭的消费水平就会下降20%。现在，黄子华一家就像失足掉入一个暗黑的坑道，虽挣扎着往前走，却不知何时才能看到光明。这种情况往往会带来很多心理问题——面对灾难，人们会感觉失去希望，没有出路，而这又大大降低了他们度过难关所需要的自控力。在重创之下，人们似乎不具备振作起来、重头再来的心理素质。最终，他们会产生抑郁情绪，像花朵失去水分般逐渐枯萎。

Looking at Huang Zihua's countenance, you can't help worrying for this family - when the man was in his prime time, he could sustain the family's livelihood, but after the befalling of sequent disasters, their savings would get fewer and fewer. Will the family fall into the "poverty trap" and then embark on the road to permanent poverty? One study shows that in Indonesia, if a family member gets serious disease, the family's consumption would drop by 20%. Now, Huang Zihua's family is just like slipping into a dark tunnel. Although they're struggling to move forward, they do not know when they will see the light. This situation often brings about many psychological problems - people feel a loss of hope and no way out in the face of disaster, which in turn greatly reduces the self-control they need to get through it. Under heavy trauma, people do not seem to have the psychological qualities to cheer themselves up and start over. Eventually, they become depressed and wither away like a flower losing its moisture.

所幸，你看到的是另一个结果——这家人并没有被灾难打垮，反而在努力迎接挑战中获得了新生。现在，这个家的主劳力已变成了妻子和儿子。当他们忙完地里的活计后，会利用闲暇时间到镇里去打散工，以补贴家用。到了年底，通过“以奖代补”的政策，他们会领到7000多元的补助；同时，他们还可享受村里对贫困户的福利——春天耕种时可领到免费的稻谷种子和化肥；年底时有各类分红（南美对虾项目可分到1.5万元、红色旅游项目可分到1400元）；同时，黄子华有残疾补助和低保，每月能领到1000元补助。这样一算，这个家不仅可维持住日常生活，年底还有2万多元进账，加上妻子和儿子的打工收入，日子不再显得紧巴巴。

Fortunately, what you see is another result——the family has not been devastated by the disaster, but has been reborn in the effort to meet the challenge. Now, the main labor of the family has become the wife and son. When they finish their work in the fields, they will use their spare time to work in the town to subsidize their families. By the end of the year, they will receive 7000 yuan in subsidies through the policy of "replacing subsidies with awards"; At the same time, they can also enjoy the welfare of poor households in the village——free rice seeds and fertilizers for spring planting; At the end of the year, there are various dividends (15,000 yuan for South American prawn projects and 1400 yuan for red tourism projects); In the meantime, Huang Zihua has disability allowance and subsistence allowance, and can receive 1000 yuan subsidy every month. This way, the family can not only support their daily lives, but also have more than 20,000 yuan at the end of the year, plus his wife and son's income from part-time jobs, life no longer seems hard-up.

黄子华感慨道：“每年中秋和春节，工作队都会送来1000多元的慰问金，还有大米、清油和棉被啊！”在他慢条斯理的讲述中，没有慌张，没有抱怨，也没有戾气，反而有一种异样的平静和笃定。事实上，也许给予贫困户一些希望、保障和安慰，便可以成为强大的刺激措施，当他们重新拾起自信；事实上，建立城乡居民最低生活保障，相当于建立了一种社会安全网络。如果人们的收入下降到一个特定范围，他们便可得到一个最低收入支持。给穷人勾画出一个未来，这样，他们就可以减少压力，无须担心没钱活不下去；这样，他们就会争取各种机会去努力工作，不再浑浑噩噩地混日子。

Huang Zihua sighed: "The team will send more than 1000 yuan of condolence money, as well as rice, clear oil, and quilts in every Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival!" His slow and logical narration, unexpectedly, was filled with calm and determination rather than panic, complaint, or anger. In fact, some hope, security, and comfort offered to poor households can serve as a powerful stimulus to help them regain confidence, and the establishment of minimum living security for urban and rural residents is equivalent to building a social security network. If people's income drops to a specific range, they can get minimum income support. Drawing a future for the poor can not only reduce the pressure and eliminate worry about not living without money but also encourage them to strive for every opportunity to work hard and not muddle along.
