治理雾霾不是可短期见效的工程。推行环保措施的同时必须阻止某些工业的发展。这不是在召开大型会议前关掉周围工厂、控制车辆行驶几个月就可以解决的。 | | |

是的,照片里是我的二孙女姗姗,快9岁了,住在德州奥斯汀。奥斯汀冬天难得下雪,所以她几乎每年过圣诞节都要来科罗拉多州玩雪。
今年冬天,科罗拉多州下雪比往年少,但前几天下了一场大雪。这里有个小镇 Crested Butte,10天内下了2米多厚的雪。洛矶山脉有些地方山顶终年积雪。每年冬天,都有来自世界各地的游客来科罗拉多州滑雪。

可爱的姗姗正好比我女儿小一岁。我正在计划今年夏天回国的旅程。(哈哈2017年刚开始,我就想跳到暑假中去了!)中国美丽的地方太多了,真不知道去哪里游玩。现在正在考虑云南和海南,您都去过吗?欢迎提出宝贵建议! | | |

谢谢夸奖!你女儿“约旦”公主也很可爱。云南和海南是好地方。我一直想去,但还从没去过,打算以后补上。要说有什么建议的话,就是千万别去“雾以吸为贵”的地方。 | |

纪念著名语言学家、中国科学院大学教授李佩先生
我对李佩女士及其丈夫郭永怀先生的高风亮节十分敬佩。但我也在想,对这些忠于国家和事业的知识分子,能否在他们活着的时候就对他们稍微好一些,别等到他们去世后再派人来歌功颂德?当年郭永怀先生一心扑在国防事业上时,后院却起了火,于是急于回京了解情况。另一篇文章却掩饰了飞机失事那天郭永怀先生急于回京的真正原因,说是“在试验中发现了一个重要线索后,他在当晚急忙到兰州乘飞机回北京”。这就叫做文过饰非。郭永怀先生还算是受“特别保护”的。当年未受保护而被迫害的知识分子又有多少?
前一阵子我看了关于中国历史上第一批公派留美学生的纪录片《幼童》。腐败的大清王朝生怕这批留学生“过分西化”而提前将他们召回。结果,除詹天佑等个别学生外,绝大部分学生都没完成学业就回国。本来,派学生留美是一件好事,结果却半途而废。看来,朝廷怀疑留学生的态度是一脉相承的。

这部纪录片值得一看再看,非常感谢孙先生!
纪录片将这些留美少年的个人命运嵌入沉浮的历史进程中展现,使人对那段时期的史实和历史人物有了更全面的了解,也窥见到人性中极致的善与恶。
故事的源头是容闳(Yung Wing)。影片中有一些细节给我留下了很深的印象,其中之一是容闳在 Mrs. Gutzlaff 离开两年后进入马礼逊学堂(Morrison Education Society School)继续学习的轶事。容闳在 My Life in China and America 中是这样写的:
Soon after the gleaning days, all too few, were over, a neighbor of mine who was a printer in the printing office of a Roman Catholic priest happened to be home from Macao on a vacation. He spoke to my mother about the priest wanting to hire a boy in his office who knew enough English to read the numerals correctly, so as to be able to fold and prepare the papers for the binders. My mother said I could do the work. So I was introduced to the priest and a bargain was struck. I returned home to report myself, and a few days later I was in Macao and entered upon my duty as a folder on a salary of $4.50 a month. My board and lodging came to $1.50— the balance of $3.00 was punctually sent to my mother every month. I did not get rich quickly in this employment, for I had been there but four months when a call for me to quit came from a quarter I least expected. It had more the sound of heaven in it. It came from Dr. Benjamin Hobson, a medical missionary in Macao whose hospital was not more than a mile from the printer’s office. He sent word that he wanted to see me; that he had been hunting for me for months. I knew Dr. Hobson well, for I saw him a number of times at Mrs. Gutzlaff’s. So I called on him. At the outset, I thought he was going to take me in to make a doctor of me, but no, he said he had a promise to fulfill. Mrs. Gutzlaff’s last message to him, before she embarked for America with the three blind girls, was to be sure to find out where I was and put me into the Morrison Education Society School as soon as it was opened for pupils.
“This is what I wanted to see for you,” said Dr. Hobson. “Before you leave your employment and after you get the consent of your mother to let you go to the Morrison School, I would like to have you come to the hospital and stay with me for a short time so that I may become better acquainted with you, before I take you to the Morrison School, which is already opened for pupils, and introduce you to the teacher.”
虽然故事的源头是容闳,他在选择大学时认为“the calling of a missionary is not the only sphere in life where one can do the most good in China or elsewhere” ; 然而,他之所以能到美国并完成在耶鲁大学的学业,正是得益于 Mrs. Gutzlaff、Dr. Hobson、特别是 Rev. Samuel Robbins Brown 多年的教诲和慈善帮助。我觉得,留美少年们在新英格兰寄宿家庭得到的悉心关爱和家庭温暖,对他们潜移默化的影响是根深蒂固的。从影片中可以感受到 Chinese Educational Mission 和百年的情结仍在继续。

很高兴你喜欢这部纪录片。的确,在促成清朝政府派遣这批少年到美国留学的历史事件中,容闳功不可没。
曾在美国、尤其是曾在 New England 地区留学的中国人,看了这部纪录片之后都会有较深的感触。New England 地区民风淳朴,老百姓对外国留学生十分友好。许多大学周围的教会和居民,都会热情地帮助留学生,帮他们适应新环境,获得悉心关爱和家庭温暖。这一优良传统一直延续至今。如你所说,从这方面也可窥见人性中极致的善。 | | |
