關於我自己

我的相片
在時代夾縫中成長,經歷過難以想像的艱辛歲月,見證了半世紀的風雲,進入過色彩絢爛的古代文化世界,遨遊過西方廣闊的思想天地,宇宙六合,俱在心靈重現宏偉的圖景。一生堅守的信念,源自內心深處:確信愛與自由,比一切重要。自由,是精神超越的必要條件。愛,不論愛人與被愛,生命才顯示色彩。沒有愛與自由,漆黑一片,生不如死。一生未能忘懷的,是托爾斯泰的《戰爭與和平》。一生的摯愛,永遠埋在心底。一生追求的,是天上的雲彩。 Living in continuously changing times, I have been through a bitter period of life. I have seen the changes that went through in this century. I have entered into the magnificent world of Chinese Classic and Literature, and I have traveled through the plains of the West in my heart, this beauty is once again reborn. My principles that I bear in mind every moment comes from within my heart: the power of love and freedom are most important and towers over the other things in life. Freedom is state of mind which we all have to overcome. Love - no matter if you are being love or in love, the world seems much brighter, happier. Without love and freedom, life would be like blackness, living as though dead. One of life's most memorable moments was when I read Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. The person I love most in this world would always be there, deep down in my heart. Chasing after those moments in life, is like chasing the clouds that drift across our skies.

生活的真實面貌

這圖是發生在1880年美國丹佛市的實況。
孫中山先生在香港唸書的時候,在大洋彼岸的美國,已經發生一幕幕驚心動魄的排華暴亂。
一百年後,到了今天,排華亦時有所聞。
美國女學者 Jean Pfaelzer 新近出版的    Driven out:The Forgotten War Against Chinese Americans   (Random House, 2007),爬疏這一段歷史,書名表明歷史可以遭嚴重歪曲以至遺忘。
港、澳的教育一向輕視歷史,大陸和台灣亦好不了多少。這是一個「集體迷失」和「集體推卸」的時代,正視歷史,談何容易!
當美國國會圖書館裁減歷史檔案館的經費,而引發學界與輿論咆哮之際,我們的大學卻欣然的縮減歷史系的課程!
與世界脫勾而依然自戀自誇為國際都會,匪夷所思。
