我的邻家小兄弟周建源(Joe Chow)

作者:Gloria Liu

我们的童年是在眷村渡过的。

眷 村,这个在历史上独一无二的名称,一直深埋在我的记忆里,直到今天。民国六十年,随着国军从大陆撤退到台湾,一时间在台湾从北到南建立起大大小小几百个眷 村。大人们在那里修公路、盖房子、种蔬菜、做衣裳,把荒野变成家园。而孩子们不会感到寂寞,反而觉得家与家的关系密切了。想到哪家玩,推门就进去了,不必 事先预约。如果正赶上那家人在吃饭,那么也不必推让,跟着吃就好了。为什么呢?因为我们大家有着一个共同的名字,叫做:外省人。

我 们的家在台湾高雄,和周建源的家刚好是斜对门。周家是三姐妹在上,然后才有的老四周建源。小的时候,看到拖着两条鼻涕的小四弟跟在我们后面跑,几次都把他 轰回到屋子里面去。我们就住在飞机场的范围内。伴随着晚霞,小伙伴们会来到飞机跑道不远的地方观看飞机起飞。那个年代没有电视机,而飞机巨大的轰鸣声让我 们感到无比的欢乐。小伙伴们向飞机招手,希望飞行员能看到我们。实际上飞行员在起飞期间忙碌的很,没工夫搭理这群小孩儿。而我们当中的一位,却已经开启了 梦想,终有一天要上蓝天翱翔。后来他上了高雄县冈山镇空军子弟小学和高雄冈山省冈中。1973年他在台南二中高中毕业。这个台南二中非同小可,了解当时情况的人都记得,这个学校的入学要求高,学生在当时也是非富即贵。周建源在当时是前十名品学兼优的毕业生。还真没看出来。或 许这同家庭教育有关,他母亲是护理长,父亲是空军教官,从小周家父母以身作则、言传身教把四个子女教育成为一个有教养、乐于助人、品德高尚的人。这三位姊 妹也是以品学兼优出名于学校和小区,当时有人打听这小区中哪个孩子学习最好,那答案是非大姐莫属。小小的周建源也体现出领导能力,我们至今记得他担任了二 年的学校升旗官。现在的周建源在美国修得MBA后定居Dallas 已经有30余年,他曾任Addison City的市议员3年,然后又担任Addison City的市长叁届,共计6年。今年他做出决定:要更上一层楼参选美国国会议员。这不是一个容易的决定,而将一位华人朋友推进国会大厦,更是会遇到很多艰难险阻。正是在艰苦的眷村长大,看到过多少人间冷暖,相信周建源会一路走向曙光。参阅网站: www.chowforcongress.com
