光照過去,現在與未來 (Lighting the Past, Present & Future) 第一名 (The First Place Winner)

光在概念上是指照在物體上, 使人能看見物體的那種物資, 如太陽光, 燈光, 月光等. 光在某種意義上, 在多方面裡, 卻有不同的意義. 俗語說: “人有悲歡離合,月有陰晴圓缺”.這表明事物有著某種不同的面貌. ”光”, 像陽光般照耀枯渴的心靈. “光”, 像母親溫柔的微笑,給予失敗小孩一個鼓勵. “光”, 是社會每個人都應有的真心. “光”是奉獻的精神,奉獻他人就像陽光般給予他人的溫暖, 無論過去, 現在與未來. “光”始終照亮著我們世界的每一個角落.
在我們懷念的過去, 在我們不知道的過去, 在我們引以為傲的過去,卻有人像”光” 般照亮他人, 光照過去.
雷鋒是一個在中國廣闊大地上無人不曉得人, 他,不像華羅庚那麼聰明, 也不像毛澤東主席那樣權威, 卻有著中國舊時代”奉獻他人 – 光” 的精神.
雷鋒不滿七歲時就成了孤兒, 本家的六叔奶奶收留了雷鋒. 一九四九年八月, 中國人民解放軍路過雷鋒的家鄉.小雷鋒看見宿營的隊伍,一住下來便向老鄉噓寒問暖, 還幫助老鄉挑水, 掃地,買柴買菜按照價錢,不拿群眾一針一線.雷鋒看見此情景, 就從心底萌生了參軍的願望.
雷鋒找到部隊的連長, 當連長得知他苦難的身世後,告訴他還小, 並把一枝鋼筆送給他, 鼓勵他要好好學習, 長大才能當兵.雷鋒長大加入了中國人民解放軍, 立志為人民服務.
一次,雷鋒外出在瀋陽站換車的時候, 一出檢票口, 看見一位婦女要去吉林看大夫,車票和錢弄丟了.雷鋒用自己的錢買了一張火車票給大嫂. 她含著眼淚說:”大兄弟, 你叫什麼名字, 是那個單位的?” 雷鋒說:” 我叫解放軍, 就住在中國.”
五月的一天, 雷鋒有去趕火車去瀋陽, 帶了幾個饅頭, 披上雨衣上路了.看見一個婦女揹著一個小孩,還拖著一個女孩,艱難地向車站走去. 雷鋒走上前,脫下自己的雨衣給大嫂披上,又抱起小女孩陪他們一起到車站上等車.上車後,雷鋒看見小女孩冷得發抖,又把自己貼身毛 衣脫下來給她穿上. 雷鋒估計她早上也沒吃飯, 就把自己的饅頭給他們吃.到了瀋陽,雷鋒還一直把他們送到家.
雷鋒雖然去世三十幾年了,他的事蹟成為不朽的過去, 但國家為了紀念,每年規定一天為雷鋒紀念日, 大力宣傳雷鋒精神, 要人們學習著這種奉獻如光一般的精神. 雷鋒就是全心全意為人民服務,難怪人們一見到為人民做好事的人就想起雷鋒. 雷鋒的精神照耀光輝的過去,也成為現在人們的榜樣.學習雷鋒好精神, 做愛國愛黨的中國人.
在科技發達的現在, 在人才濟濟的現在, 在糧食豐盛的現在, 卻還有像雷鋒一樣奉獻他人,捨己為人的人.
她,是在抗非典中隕落的一顆星星, 光照現在. 葉欣是1956年7月9日出生於廣東徐聞一個醫學世家,1983年被提升為廣東省中醫院急診科護士長.

2003年春節前後,一種病因未明的非典型的肺炎開始在廣州地區流行,中醫院開始收治確診或疑為”非典”的病人.面對突如其來的工作量,葉欣周密重新調班,安排加強班.葉欣身先士卒,便開始加班.
後來權度疲勞的葉欣開始出現發熱症狀,後來確診染上了非典.為了救治葉欣,醫院短時間內成立了治療小組,廣大領導也為了搶就葉欣提供了技術,物質,器械的支持.
就在葉欣最後搶救的,也是傳染給她”非典”的那位病患健康出院後不到一個星期,葉欣永遠離開了她所愛的崗位,戰友和愛人.葉欣生前是一個不求問達,只求奉獻的人. 葉欣去世後,她的愛人動容的說:”我和葉欣結婚22年了,但只有結婚那年我們一起在家過春節,其餘她全是在醫院度過.”
葉欣是在非典那段緊急時間身先士卒,不想自己毫無怨言的用她的生命去搶救病患,自己卻在非典期間感染過世.”光”是一種奉獻精神,就像蠟燭一樣,燃燒自己帶給人們光明.就像螢火蟲一樣,在黑暗中犧牲自己照亮他人. 你和我,卻又以什麼行為去為他人服務,為社會奉獻.葉欣卻以她短暫的人生,精采的人生奉獻病患,奉獻醫學事業. 朋友們,有時在馬路上扶老太太過路,在路上有垃圾時,彎腰去撿一下也是奉獻. 做好事,不分大或小,多或少,只要你願意去行動.
他名叫姜數軍,今年60歲了.是怡園社區居民,也是一名社區志願者. 姜數軍沒有像葉欣那樣偉大,但他做的一件件小事卻也讓人佩服.
平時姜數軍主動與社會居委會聯繫,盡他所能參與社會建設,希望以一顆奉獻的心服務社會,服務居民.有時社區水管, 門,窗,鎖壞了,姜數軍主動幫助, 居民有什麼事,一定找老姜,為人民奉獻,姜數軍沒有一句抱怨.
他,一個平凡的勞動者,一個普通的農民,也是鄉鎮一個無名小卒的會計,是我最敬愛也是最親愛的爺爺.
我爺爺今年60多歲了,身高沒有一米五,個子很小,是我們鄉下的一名鄉委員.爺爺總是早上六點多就起床了,開車去城裡吃了早餐就買菜回來給奶奶煮飯,下午一點多就開小摩托車去鄉委,整理帳目和統計帳目.我常打電話回去問候爺爺和奶奶. 有一次,爺爺生病了,住了幾天醫院,卻不打電話來三藩市告訴我們, 也是小叔打電話告訴爸爸我才知道,原來是腦萎縮. 我打電話回去,說:"爺爺,這麼辛苦不要做了,工資也不多,來來去去太辛苦了.”爺爺卻說: ”沒關係,如果我不去,鄉委不夠人手.我也做了十幾年.我喜歡為鄉親父老服務.再說,在家悶著呢.”
我知道爺爺是在安慰我, 爺爺就是這樣.在我很小的時候,爺爺就去鄉委了. 一做就十幾年.有次,還因為有人不知怎的, 打了爺爺.那時我還小,但爺爺還是隔天就又去工作,沒有理會.
無論是姜樹軍,還是我親愛的爺爺,他們都是一個樣,為他人奉獻,不管自己怎麼的,多苦多累一個樣.不說苦或累, 光照現在. 奉獻是一種如光般耀眼奪目的精神.
在遙遙未及的未來,在充滿希望的未來,還有一些祖國的花朵在學習著呢.

在美國的各間中學,高中,大學不是也有很多學生擁有著”光”嗎?他們身上擁有著無限的奉獻精神.
有一次,我和朋友們參加學校的義工活動,老師之前並沒有告訴我們是做什麼,只是說去就會知道了.我的心像綁著一塊大石頭,久久不能平靜.同學們也很担愁著,誰知老師說今天義工是保護環境,去分類垃圾,我們很快就分配到崗位,開始了工作.
在人來人往的街道上,垃圾桶一下子就滿了.我們把一桶桶垃圾分好.有幾個有禮貌的外國人說:”Thank you.” 這使我們的心得到滿足.讓我們覺得辛苦沒有白費,覺得街道也變亁淨了. 我們做好事了.為社會做奉獻了,是一件很有成就的事.
無論是過去,現在與未來,光始終照亮我們的世界,照亮這個廣闊和光明的世界.在這個世界中,有著許多過去,現在,與未來的人,有著如光一般耀眼的精神,光是奉獻精神, 讓世界充滿光,讓世界充滿溫暖.

陽光透過大氣層直射到地面深處, 到處每一個輕而可見的角落. 它給予了世界萬物的重生, 給予了到處流浪游人的撫慰.它用自己獨特的光芒,無私熱情的閃爍著. 只要它出現, 人生就有了轉機, 有了希望, 有了屬於愛的一大片空地.它為每一顆即將飛使的流星, 築起了溫暖而博大的萬里長城. 在它寬大的懷抱中, 包含了多少無法用言語去描述的真情流露,同時她聳立在世界各都的鐵塔之上,俯瞰世界各態,無形的散發出迷人的花香, 覆蓋所有麻醉的人心, 無可抵抗的病毒. 使它們得到了洗禮, 不再孤獨而黑暗, 從而得到寧靜與純潔, 去感受美與愛的交界之處.
孩童時期, 母親常唱著”月光光, 照地堂”的一首催人入睡的搖籃曲, 哄著我入睡. 那時, 我和姐姐一人一間搖搖床, 剛哄完姐姐, 又再哄我,所以房間裡在深夜時分,總會一陣唱歌的氛圍. 在我清醒之時,又輪到奶奶照顧我們. 奶奶把我們從搖搖床弄到地上,讓我們自由地玩耍.我總淘皮地爬出家外的沙地裡,翻出玩桶,豬八戒似的鐮子,飯勺,把沙子勺進桶裡,玩起煮飯的兒童遊戲之一. 開心又刺激地玩個一通.有時還更瘋狂地扮起小丑,弄得奶奶不停地幫我整理, 還常常幫我洗澡呢!鐘聲響個不停, 深夜了, 出現了一個熟悉的聲音,哼著歌,用手輕拍著我, 目的是想我好睡些, 輕輕的,輕輕的…………….
到了進入學習的階段, 我們的家從鄉下搬進城市地方,來到了一個嶄新而陌生的社區.在社區里有許多玩耍樂園,滿足了我的玩耍心理.母親幫我找了一家不錯的小學,新穎潔白的校服,品德兼并的教學風氣,熱情好玩的同學.在這件學校裡,開始了每天繁忙的學習生涯, 每天都有嚴格的學校規則和新的知識潛進我的腦海裡.我學到了許多從來未有過的知識與經歷. 回到家時,有一大桌熱騰騰的飯菜, 還有燉了許多的補品.但唯獨缺少一個陪我吃飯的大人.
每當老師叫我們把一些重要的文件或功課交給父母時, 我總把它放在書桌上,早上起來,母親就把它以端正的字體簽好,附上一份營養早餐,還有……..
每當老師叫我們把一些重要的文件或功課交給父母時, 我總把它放在書桌上,早上起來,母親就把它以端正的字體簽好,附上一份營養早餐,還有……..我的理想是做一名赫赫有名的律師,因此現在努力把學習事務做好.此外,還要學許多有關政治與國家法律方面的知識.因而每當深夜時分,總是累得躺在書桌上,睡得半熟矇矇之間,覺得有人把衣服披在我身上,好像窗戶外的風都吹不掉,吹不掉似的……….
在我身邊的這曙光, 無論何時,何地,何處,都為我閃爍.雖然我無法用昂貴的東西去償還它,但我願為這曙光,努力邁向充滿崎嶇而孤獨的人生之旅. 願為了它,留下夕陽落下而淒美的畫面.我願為你畫出你生活從未有過的幸福瞬間,讓你不再偽閃爍而哭泣,為閃爍而逝去美的容顏, 為閃爍而堅強不屈工作著,奔波勞苦般在寬廣的天空上獨自閃著.有一天你或許累了,休息吧!每顆脆弱的星星因在你寬大的懷抱已茁壯成長,不再孤獨,不再脆弱,不再受傷了.你細心的多年照顧,治療了他們不成熟的腦袋,遍替鱗傷的心靈,表裡不一的堅強外表.使他們打破原來面貌,變成一個全新的自我.在天空中也像你如此光耀.為那些像星星般的人,創造一個屬於他們的愛的一大片空地.

Something Green on Earth
(Winner of Middle School Group, Teen essay Contest 2009)
by Nathan Schwarz-Lee
Something green on earth... the wonderful things I see outside are green to my eye, the only things that aren't green are the people who use the cars! I thought for a moment, then realized that if everyone in the world didn't use cars, the world would be much greener, and the grey and dull things would be minimized. The world is a beautiful place, for there are many green things in it. But if there weren't gas guzzling cars out there, imagine what it might look like! Imagine the verdant meadows and the sun soaked trees! Imagine the wild animals fluttering about!
The cards are roaming around
Attacking the environment
Being Chinese is like being bound
Too many laws and still a requirement
I'd rather smell Chinese pork buns
Than the toxic fumes of diesel buses
They are infinitely multiplying their runs
Never thinking about their passenger' fusses
The reason I listen to my Ipod more
When the birds used to be singing
Is because of the constant engines' roar
Who tore my silence from living
So now I am sick
Of all the world's cars
I moved away from the grime of the kick
Of society's cars and tar
However, being half Chinese and American, I'm disappointed with how both of those countries are acting on this. China is one of the worst polluters in the world and they're doing very little to change this. The U.S. is trying, but they aren't making a noticeable effort. So I say that we try harder to improve our care on the environment, and either create cars that consume no gas whatsoever, or completely eliminate cars.
I see a future, where all our lives will be green. I see a very bright future. But it will take a lot of work to make it. That is where the rest of the world comes in. Everybody can make a difference to our environment. If everyone helps, we will have a good chance of succeeding.
