MESSAGES 4

HWA CHONG BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Chaiersmsaagne’s M exchange happens. This place represents our wish to foster an environment where passions and aspirations converge, lasting f riendships are fostered, and a place that will also be a source of pride among students.

Dr Sia Nam Chie

Hwa Chong International School (HCIS) enters its 18th year of providing quality international education with an emphasis on Asian values and culture. This year marks another year of great achievements and accomplishments against the backdrop of normalcy after the pandemic. Although HCIS is the youngest member in the established Hwa Chong family of schools, we have set ourselves as a highly regarded institution both locally and abroad, attracting students f rom all over the world. As the famous proverb goes, ‘It takes a village to raise a child’, our achievements would not have been possible without the steadfast support and nurturing hands of our village – a dedicated community of Board members, School Management Committee (SMC) members, staff, parents and volunteers. As we stand on the cusp of adulthood, we certainly cannot rest on our laurels. Continuously scaling new heights 自强不息 is part of our DNA. The Board of HCIS (BHCIS) and other stakeholders have continued to work on the foundations laid, to develop and upgrade the hardware and software systems in HCIS. The extensive inf rastructure upgrade underscores our commitment to provide a dynamic learning environment where students can actively pursue growth, academically, mentally, and physically. I am pleased to see the students actively using the newly completed sport facilities, such as the 6-lane 50m swimming pool, indoor gymnasium, and sports complex. This is a great step towards our goal to nurture all-rounded students. With the soon-to-be completed two-storey library, and the Agora at the centre of the Annex Building, we are creating a symbol for a vibrant and bustling HCIS where social, cultural and intellectual 5

HCIS, as a future school, has embarked on the journey of using technologies to create a vibrant and collaborative environment. This year, we invested in a new learning management system. Our staff went through multiple professional development sessions to ensure mastery in using the platform to deliver quality lessons where students not only work together but also practise self-directed learning. These are facilitated through designated home-based learning days when students are given opportunities to work collaboratively, creatively, and also independently so that they can achieve the best educational outcomes and our vision of students “learning anywhere, anytime”. The village that has raised HCIS to where we are today is a result of the collective efforts put in by each and every member, past and present. Recently, HCIS English Faculty held the inaugural Law Conference and I was thrilled to see an exstudent returning as a speaker for the event. It is certainly a rewarding sight to see our Asian values of 饮水思源 , 己立立人，己达达人 brought to life; it is a testament to our success in instilling these values in our students. Not only did an ex-student take time out to give back to the community that has raised her, but also a parent who graced the event as the main guest-of-honour. We hope to continue this partnership with our alumni and other stakeholders, to grow HCIS as the partner for life with our students and parents. HCIS has done exceptionally well with the clear visions laid down by the Board and SMC, and the well execution of plans by the school leaders and staff. I have full conf idence that HCIS will continue to soar to greater heights because of the collaborative efforts put in by different nurturing and passionate stakeholders in the family. I would like to extend my gratitude to the Board members, SMC members, school leaders and staff who have encouraged and enabled our students to flourish and grow in such a supportive and innovative environment. I would also like to thank the parents who believe in the school to equip their child with both hardware and heartware to navigate the future ahead. Let us continue to work together for a better and brighter future.

华中董事部董事长谢南极博士致辞今年，华中国际学校迈入第18个年头，自始至今，学校坚持了提供优质国际教育，并灌输亚洲价值观和文化予我们的学生，为的就是培育德、智、体、群、美的明日主人翁。华中国际是大家庭中最年轻的成员，但知名度已经在海内外备受推崇，慕名而来的学生来自世界各地。当然，这也是整个大家庭，包括华中国际校董、管理委员会、校长、教职员、家长和志愿工作者齐心协力，努力奋斗的结果。在接下来的旅途中，我们会秉着自强不息的精神，不断地向上向善，借着校董与各家庭成员建立起来的基础上，更努力地提升与开发学校的文化与设施，让华中国际大放光彩！提升基础设施体现了我们致力于提供一个充满活力的学习环境，让学生可以在智、体、群、美中得于全面的成长。当我见到学生们开心地使用新落成的体育设施，如游泳池、室内健身房和体育中心时，自豪之心油然而生。因为这是我们朝着培育全能学生愿景迈出的一大步。图书馆和位于翼楼中心的Agora 竣工在即，这将是另一个在校园中可以促进文化与知识交流的大平台。我深信这也将是学生与同窗们创造他们伟大理想的天地，也将是他们日后回味无穷的记忆！为了营造国际学校未来的模式，让学生学习先进的技能，我们计划大刀阔斧地改进学校的科技系统。今年，我们投资了新的学习管理系统。我们的员工参加了多次专业培训，以

确保他们掌握并使用新的平台。同时，增添新教学器材提供了高质量的课程，促使学生既可以共同学习，亦可以自主研究。学生通过指定的在家学习日进行有创意与有趣的学习体验，以便让他们实现最佳的教育成果、实现我们对学生“随时随地都可学习”的愿景。最近，本校英语系举办了首届法律研讨会时，一位本校毕业生以校友的身份回来参与，落实了我们提倡的亚洲价值观“饮水思源、己立立人、己达达人”，这无疑是一件令人欣慰的事情；这也恰好证明了我们成功地将这些价值观灌输给了学生。无独有偶，这次活动除了校友抽出宝贵时间回馈孕育她的母校之外，还有家长以主宾的身份出席。我希望有更多的校友与家长参与，将华中国际学校发展成为我们学生和家长的终身合作伙伴。在董事会和管委会制定了明确的愿景、学校领导和员工有效地执行之下，华中国际学校的表现已是有目共睹。我深信，在华中这大家庭里各方的共同努力下，华中国际学校将继续腾飞、持续创新高。在此，我谨向董事会成员、校董会成员、学校领导和教职员表示感谢，他们营造了一间热心的学校，让学生在温情中发挥他们的创意，蓬勃的发展与开心的成长。我还要感激信任学校能够为他们的子女配置硬件和“心件”以引领未来的家长。让我们继续共同努力，共创更加美好、更加光明的未来。

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

Chaiersmsaagne’s M “Cherish your vision and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.”

Mr Kho Yue Sern Vincent

- Napoleon Hil

hese words strongly resonate with me, and it brings to mind the vision of our predecessors when they established Hwa Chong International School (HCIS). They laid a strong foundation and provided the blueprint for us to pursue our goal of being a leading International Baccalaureate World School offering a uniquely global and Asian perspective. As we celebrate our 18th year, providing quality education for all, according to each individual, I would like to expound on the theme for 2023 yearbook – Cherish, and two main points that encapsulate the essence of a student’s journey here in HCIS. First, cherish all that you have learned and achieved. The knowledge you have acquired and the values you have developed are intangible things that shape your identity and will stay with you for life. I am exceptionally proud of our 2022 IB cohort for persevering through the pandemic and their achievements speak volumes. More than half of the cohort scored 40 points or above, and such stellar outcomes will open the doors of prestigious universities all over the world for them. The outstanding results cannot be obtained without the students’ tenacity and dedication, the guidance and support of the committed staff, and the parents’ conf idence and belief in their child. Beyond the exceptional academic performance, our students are also shining brightly in the sports arena, winning gold and silver medals in Volleyball, Basketball and Badminton at the 2023 Athletic Conference of Singapore International School.

Second, cherish every moment and the relationships you have forged here. Behind every laugh and tear, every success and setback, and every high and low are shared experiences that bind you and the f riendships you have built. Working together as a family and unity are what we hold dear in this school. Nothing best exemplif ies this than the combined HCI and HCIS Water Polo girls’ team that trained tirelessly together and went on to make the Hwa Chong family proud when they claimed the championship title at the National Water Polo school f inals. I cherish the support given to me by members of the School Management Committee, the Board of HCIS, as well as the school management and staff and I want to thank them for their steadfast efforts and drive to put our vision into action. Be it in education outreach and promotion of HCIS scholarship in other countries or organising the Chinese cultural workshops to encourage appreciation of Chinese culture and values, I have full conf idence that every single initiative and every step we take collectively leads us closer to realising our vision and fulf illing our mission. To the graduating class of 2022, remember to cherish every moment, every lesson, and every person you encounter in your life as you embark on your next journey.

Mr Kho Yue Sern Vincent

SMC Chairman

学校管委会主席许喻胜先生致辞 “珍惜你的愿景和梦想，因为它们是你灵魂的孩子，是你最终成就的蓝图。 ” ——拿破仑·希尔这句话引起了我的强烈共鸣，让我想起了华中前辈们创办华中国际学校（HCIS）时的愿景。为了实现让我校成为一所能提供独特的全球视野和亚洲价值观，从而达到引领世界国际文凭教学的顶尖学校的目标，他们奠下了坚实的基础并提供了后来发展的蓝图。在我们庆祝为所有人提供优质教育的第 18 周年之际，我想根据个人情况来阐述 2023年年鉴的主题“珍惜”，以及概括毕业生们在华中国际旅程中体会到最精髓的两个要点。

其次，珍惜你曾在这里度过的每一刻和建立起的同窗之谊。每一次欢笑和泪水、每一次成功和挫折、每一次高潮和低谷的背后，都是你们学习的共同经历，将彼此的友谊牢牢的拴住在一起。你将会珍惜和怀念曾经像在一个大家庭里和像兄弟姐妹般的学友一起努力，相互扶持和团结的精神。华初和华中国际女子水球队合并就是最好的例子，她们一起不忘疲倦地训练，并在全国学校水球决赛中荣获冠军头衔，让华中家族为此感到自豪。

首先，珍惜你所学到的和获取的一切。你所获得的知识和你所形成的价值观都是无形的东西，它们塑造了你的潜力，并将伴随你的一生。我为我校2022年IB毕业生在疫情期间坚持不懈的学习精神感到无比自豪，他们的成就意义非凡。超过一半的学生获得了40分及以上的成绩，如此出色的成绩将为他们开启了世界各地名牌大学的大门。优异的成绩离不开学生们的坚韧的付出，离不开敬业的教职员工的指导和支持，离不开家长对孩子的信心和信任。除了优异的学业成绩外，我们的学生在体育赛场上也大放异彩，在2023年新加坡国际学校运动会的排球、篮球和羽毛球比赛中摘金夺银。

在此，我十分感谢学校管理委员会、华中国际董事会成员以及学校管理层和教职员工给予我的支持；为了实现我们的愿景而付出了巨大的努力和实质的行动。无论是在其他国家的教育推广和华中国际学校奖学金的推广，还是组织中国文化分享会以鼓励人们欣赏中国文化和价值观，我坚信，我们采取的每一项举措和踏出的每一步，都将更靠近我们的愿景和目标，终将完成我们的使命。2022届毕业生们，请谨记珍惜生命中的每一刻、每一堂课、遇到的每一个人，奔赴下一段旅程。

s we open another remarkable school year, I am f illed with immense pride and gratitude for the exceptional achievements and unwavering spirit that have def ined our school community. 2023 has been a testament to the resilience, dedication, and collective strength that we embody as an IB World School. Our students have consistently demonstrated academic excellence, consistently exceeding expectations and setting new benchmarks for success. Their unwavering commitment to learning, their insatiable curiosity, and their eagerness to explore new horizons have been truly inspiring. We have witnessed countless examples of students going above and beyond, challenging themselves to reach their full potential, and demonstrating a remarkable growth mindset. The 2022 IB graduating class, who persevered throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, went on to deliver quality IB results with an impressive 68.7% of the cohort scoring 38 points or more. These excellent results will see our students progressing to prestigious and top-tiered universities around the world. Beyond academic achievements, we have also witnessed the blossoming of character development among our students. They have embraced the IB mission statement, “To create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect,” demonstrating these qualities in their daily interactions and contributions to the school community. We have seen students supporting one another, fostering a culture of kindness, respect and inclusivity, and taking ownership of their actions and decisions. Our students have also excelled in non-academic pursuits, showcasing their talents and passions in a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, music, and leadership. They have represented our school with distinction, demonstrating sportsmanship, creativity, and a commitment to excellence in all that they do, whether in the National School Games, Singapore Youth Festival and other international competitions. The spirit of social responsibility and giving back to the community are facets of character development that the school pays great attention to. As the world faces numerous social and environmental challenges, there is a growing need for individuals and organizations to take responsibility for their impact on the world and to work towards creating a better future for all. School programmes such as JCAS and Green Council fosters this sense of duty and responsibility, that even as students they can do their part to make a difference in the lives of others and contribute towards environmental sustainability. We hope our students can become

useful global citizens beyond their years in HCIS. The success of our students is deeply intertwined with the unwavering support and dedication of our parents and teachers. Our parents have partnered with us in creating a nurturing and stimulating learning environment, providing encouragement, guidance, and steadfast belief in their children’s abilities. Our teachers have gone above and beyond to inspire, challenge, and support our students, fostering a passion for learning and nurturing their individual talents. Within our school community, we have cultivated a close partnership between students, parents, and staff. We have worked together to create a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. This collaboration has been instrumental in fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose, which has contributed signif icantly to our overall success. We will continue to foster a vibrant learning environment where students are encouraged to explore their academic passions, challenge their intellectual boundaries, and embrace the joy of discovery. As we look towards the future, we are committed to preparing our students for a world increasingly shaped by technology and global interconnectedness. We hope to become a beacon of innovation and global citizenship, providing our students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in this rapidly evolving landscape. We will continue to integrate technology seamlessly into our curriculum and programmes, provide opportunities for hands-on learning, and encourage independent learning and for our students to explore and innovate in the digital realm. We will also persevere to foster a deep understanding of global cultures, promoting intercultural understanding and respect among our students. HCIS has set new records and made outstanding progress in both academic and non-academic arenas and we can certainly look forward to the future with hope and optimism. We are proud of the many accomplishments of our students, faculty, and alumni, and we are grateful for the support and contributions of our community. It is the shared vision and collaborative efforts of all stakeholders that HCIS has continually been able to scale new heights. Such success for a young school would not have been possible without the unwavering support and trust of the Board, the School Management Committee, alumni, staff, parents and students. We will continue to strive for excellence 自强不息, to embrace diversity, nurture international mindedness and serve with humility and compassion, and we look forward to continuing to grow and learn alongside one another in the years to come.

he theme of this year’s graduation ceremony: HOPE, symbolises our strong desire for positive change in the future and to stay resilient in the face of global challenges, especially the very recent Covid-19 pandemic. Bound by constraints beyond our control, we, the so-called “Gen-Zs”, have learned to rise above adversity using technology to create endless possibilities into the future. Regardless, we must acknowledge that we couldn’t have come this far without the unwavering support of our dearest teachers who have taught us to be courageous, embrace our mistakes, have faith in ourselves and of the future plan we embark on.

我从小就热爱音乐，特别喜欢唱歌，但是非常害羞。跟别人说话时我总是结结巴巴的，不敢正视着他们的眼睛，更别提在众人面前唱歌了。只有在家里，我一个人躲在房间，才能轻松地唱着自己喜爱的歌。我的愿望就是长大后当著名的歌唱家，但我一直太害怕，直到父亲发现的那一天。父亲帮助我找到了自信并继续坚持下去，让我一生都很感激他。那是一个星期天早晨，我提前起床做功课。家里一片寂静，我一边专心致志地写作业，一边轻声哼着我最爱的华文歌“明天会更好”。我越唱越投入，没留意到站在门外，用赞赏的目光看着我的父亲。我一唱完，他就大声鼓掌。我被这突如其来的掌声吓到了，转过头看到他，脸立刻涨得通红。“爸爸！你都听到了吗？”他微笑着点头，还竖起了大拇指。看见我那副受惊的样子，他用安慰的口吻说：“你唱得这么好听，怎么那么害羞呢？你要多给唱给大家听听！”我羞答答地盯着地面，没有说出话来。第二天，级任老师和同学纷纷到了课室后，老师笑容满面地宣布道：“学校最近举办了歌唱比赛，有谁想代表我们班参加吗？”课室里顿时鸦雀无声。我听了，动了心，但又想到要当众表演，目光立即灰暗了。这时我想起父亲告诉我的话，就硬着头皮举了手。同学的目光马上齐刷刷地落在我身上，让我开始后悔。可是看见老师充满期待的眼神，我除了答应参加也没别的办法了。那天一回到家，我就后悔了。父亲看我愁眉苦脸的，连忙拍拍我的肩，语气温和地

167

问我怎么一回事。我把事情的前前后后说出来后，他竟然笑了。我一头雾水，满脸问号地看着他。“原来是这样！”他眉开眼笑地说着。“云丽，这有什么好哭的呀？你这样抓住给大家唱歌的机会多好啊！人生就像一场长跑，你总会遇到困难的，而你要有勇气面对并克服它们，这样才能顺利抵达终点。”父亲的话顿时好像把光明照在我的脸上，让我领悟到自信、勇敢的重要性。“好的！你已经报名参加了，我会陪你一起练习唱歌！”他兴奋地说道。结果自然是按口头约定，每当父亲有空时，就陪我加强练习，不断地支持我。我每天在镜子前唱歌，渐渐地变得更有信心了。比赛那天终于来到了。我慢慢走上舞台，起初不敢看礼堂里的家长、同学和老师。我不停地在嘴边重复着父亲的话，告诉自己别紧张。我逐渐平静了下来，闭上眼睛，深深吸了一口气，随着音乐唱着“明天会更好”。我全神贯注地唱着，想把自己最美好的声音献给大家。我唱完后，睁开眼睛，礼堂顿时爆发出雷鸣般的掌声。激动的泪水悄悄地爬到了我的眼角，我连忙抹掉泪花，跑去找父亲。那场比赛，我得了冠军，心里充满了自豪。父亲高兴极了，也为我感到骄傲。从那以后，我像是换了个人似的，更愿意和别人交谈了。我所有的成功都归功于我亲爱的父亲，是他一直鼓励着我，给予了我无限的爱和希望，并让我明白了做人的道理：面对遥不可及的目标，不能因为害怕而放弃，要迈出一小步，再一小步，这样才能勇敢地追着梦。如果连试都不敢试，将来又怎么能大有作为呢？经过了这件事，我更感激父亲了，因为有他，我才能走得更远。

亲爱的妈妈：您好。今天老师和我们讨论了“爱”这个话题。我感触很多，所以写信与您分享。爱有很多种，有男女之间的爱，有对事物的热爱，也有长辈对晚辈的爱。不论是哪种爱，都需要彼此包容。在我心里，我觉得妈妈对我的爱是最伟大的，而且不能被取代。小时候，妈妈无微不至地照顾着我，给我一个温暖的家。每天早上，天还没有亮，她就起床为我准备美味早餐，让我吃了一整天有精力。每当我遇到挑战的时候，妈妈总是会安慰我，鼓励我不要放弃，坚持到底，给我勇气。妈妈的爱，就象一粒粒的珍珠，她用无数个珍珠串起了我和她的世界。

古人说：“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖”，母亲对我的爱，是我难以回报的，但我还是要努力爱母亲。在生活中，我要帮妈妈做一些力所能及的事情，比如做家务，减少她的压力。我要多陪伴妈妈，让她不会感到孤单。妈妈，您是我的好榜样，所以我也要学会爱我周围的人，不论是兄弟姐妹还是同学，只要他们需要我的帮助，我要伸出援手帮助他们。我相信，只要把爱传递出去，爱就会被带到更多的地方，继续开花结果。我今天就写到这里，下次再谈。祝您身体健康！小明上 2023年2月16日

老师、同学们：大家好，今天我要讲的是我去老人院做义工的一次经历。在我上小学五年级的时候，妈妈带我和她的团队到碧山狮子会养老院做义工。这次的经历，让我学到了很多东西。那天，阳光明媚，风和日丽。我和妈妈提着大包小包的礼物和食物，来到了养老院。一进门，看到老人们正在大厅里做晨运。他们看到了我们，开心地和我们打招呼。休息时，我和妈妈把礼物和食物分派给他们。看着他们开心地喝着我们带来的豆浆和吃着三文治，我感到十分开心。接着，老人们开始自由活动，他们像对待自己孩子一样，都围过来不停地和我们说话。有的爷爷奶奶分享他们年轻时的故事。还有些老人家和我们说他们孩子的事，一起分享生活。听着他们的故事，让我对人生的意义有了进一步的思考。

169

活动时间结束后，我们开始陪着老人们玩各种游戏。有的下棋，有的玩宾果，他们有的玩数独游戏，还有的玩猜谜语。我们穿梭在老人们中间，跟他们一起互动，大家都十分开心。不知不觉的，午餐时间要到了，我们也要跟老人们告别了。当我们向他们挥手道别时，老人们都很舍不得我们走，再三叮嘱我们下次再来，我也感到很舍不得他们。能够和他们度过开心的半天时光，我学到了关怀和尊敬老人是我们应尽的责任的道理。老人们年轻时为国家和家庭做出了很多贡献，今天，他们年老力衰，我们更应该关心照顾他们。这次的经历，让我更理解了关怀老人家、孝顺和尊老爱幼的道理，我们应该把这种中华民族的传统美德发扬光大。谢谢大家！

雨有约，春有误。我在春天里，听着窗外的雨声，冲刷着我的内心。 “好雨知时节，当春乃发生。”，春雨沐浴着大地，自古以来就将其视作希望，大自然的馈赠。但我并不是这么认为。在荒凉，安静，下着雨的午后，人们走在大街上，总是有人抱怨，穿多了便热，穿少了便冷。这次偶然，我和外婆回到山塘街多老宅，只记得那天下着雨，行人都穿着雨衣，撑着伞，风尘仆仆地，急急忙忙地赶回家，但一到姑苏区，人们在古色古香的小街道中穿行的时候，便放慢了脚步。老宅外面有一条环绕的小河，春雨在河面上跳起优雅的华尔兹，河面荡起层层的涟漪，外婆走到我的身边，示意我坐下。 “这优雅清新的雨啊，只有在春天里才有，夏天的雨便凶急了，秋天便将雨调成了凋零万物的模式。”外婆不紧不慢地对我说。外婆没有文化，但能说出这般韵味的文字，便让我更加有了兴趣。 “可是，雨让身上湿漉漉的，不会很难受吗？” “你看啊，小草都在努力地吸收它的潮湿，抖擞着精神。”外婆指向路边的小草。

我渐渐被这雨所吸引，闭上眼睛，听它“滴答滴答”落在睡眠和青石板上的独特交响曲。但忽然，一股微风拂过我的脸庞，伴随着一阵湿润的清凉，划过我的每一寸肌肤。 “栀子花，白兰花。”一位老奶奶在石拱桥上走过，吆喝着，花香在雨中一起落向大地，像她的吆喝声一样弥漫，你到别说，这时候，不下场雨，这香味也不会是这样的沁人心脾。我再次睁开眼睛，看着这春天里独有的如同细针一样排列的雨掉落人间，似乎一位相见恨晚的老朋友前来赶赴春天的约。我和外婆在春雨中，即使湿了衣服，也要和这位优雅的小姐来一次近距离的接触，放慢心灵的脚步，用心感受。 “随风潜入夜，润物细无声。”这说的倒是一点儿没错啊。是啊，春雨如同外婆一样温柔，温暖着小小的，急躁的我。在春天里，我和春雨赴了个约。

学校的主楼到附属楼之间有一段路，每天都有许多的华中学子在上面来来回回。“ 踢踢踏踏”的脚步声中，踩下了无数时光与故事…… 中午的烈阳洒在大地上，路边植物中的各种昆虫也在这高温狂想曲中合唱。蓝天白云交相辉映，绘成一幅可爱的欧洲油画。那时的我还未正式踏入华中国际，只是刚刚拿到入取通知书。我与母亲一同来学校递交资料。母亲前些夜里为等待通知书焦虑万分，鲜得好睡眠，这在她的脸上又无情地刻下了几道皱纹，在她的头上又狠心地添了几根白发。然而，那天走在路上的母亲终于融化了眉头中的冰雪，入取通知书带来的快乐洋溢在我们的脸上，看到如此美好的校园，更是欣喜万分。路感受到了我们的喜悦，便慢慢地记下了我与母亲的步伐。我与母亲满怀对未来期望的走呀走，直到那天…… 开学的前一天，我就要离开熟悉的家中，开始住宿了。母亲送我到宿舍，让我收拾收拾东西，出来一起在学校里走走。收拾东西的同时，我不知为何觉得心中仿佛被挖走了一块，没空多想，我只是快速

地走出宿舍，与母亲再一次来到了那条路上。晚风吹拂着树叶沙沙作响，仿佛在倾诉这心中的苦楚。太阳渐渐落下了，辽阔的天陷入了黑暗，仅仅留下了天边的一缕红晕。第一次住宿的我，心中有着担心与莫名的恐惧。看着曾经和妈妈住在家中，以及曾经在家旁散步的场景慢慢地离我远去，却又无力抓住，心中不可控制地刮起了狂风暴雨。第一次让儿子住宿的母亲也有怎得放心!我们在路上走着，我看到母亲的眼中也闪着银丝。可是无论如何，凡事都是有第一次的，只有勇敢地面对，才能坚强的成长!昏暗的灯光照着我们的脸颊，母亲回家去了，我留在学校。我静静地站在路上，心中如同打翻了一瓶陈醋。晚风依旧拂着，我沿着路慢慢地回去…… 那一天还是来了，母亲要回去上海了，我将一个人在新加坡了。母亲送我到学校，夕阳醉了，天空火红得不成样子。走下巴士，母亲的泪水便如洪水般夺眶而出，我的心也仿佛被刻上了一道伤口。那一刻，仿佛脚下的每一步都是在倒计时。看着那吹拂的晚风，耳边又想起了从前常听的那首《送别》“长亭外，古道边，芳草碧连天。晚风拂柳，笛声残，夕阳山外山。”初听不识曲中意，再听已是曲中人。时光就像一根细的抓不住的柳叶，让我无法珍藏。我们分开了，我不敢回头看。我一股脑地向前走。路还是那条路，不过以后真的是我一个人了…… 我走在学校的路上，独立勇敢地走下去。我走在成长的路上，独立勇敢地走下去。现在是这样，未来也是这样。

我守住黄昏，守过夜晚。 ——题记 “夜在最深时涌动，我的心开始放开喉咙，夜是我最忠实的听众，每天都如期相拥……”歌手刘欢对夜有着自己的诠释。有人说，夜，是白天纷扰的赎还；夜，是孤寂心灵温暖的归宿；夜，承载着万千美梦飞向远方；而对我来说，夜，总温柔地包容着我，在无声之中抚平伤痛，在星光溶溶下陪伴我成长。 “12点了！还不去睡！效率真的要提高！”妈妈的训斥声刚落，我的房门被砰地摔上，留下的，只有黑漆的房间和床边怔住的身影。我昏昏沉沉地爬上床，被窝里却也冰得瘆人。又是个有补习班的工作日，学校作业做完后，总有各个补习班的作业朝我扑面而来，难度却也是极大的，我总不得不投入大量时间和精力，时常困得抬不起头，累得只能把洗澡当作短暂的放松。可到最后，却只能得到母亲的责骂，而“效率”这个字眼，有时总显得那样抽象。我躺在床上，累得甚至不愿抬起手拉过被子。刷过多少份试卷，做过多少页练习，可换来的呢，却是久久无法得到突破的分数，每日忙得晕头转向，我似乎都快忘记了母亲的笑靥，看着黯然失色的房间，不被理解的委屈，压抑和疲惫交织在一起，变为了迷惘。我的鼻头直发酸，一阵凉意从眼角悄然划过面颊。我翻了个身，却忽然发现墙上星点的光斑，是星光还是月光，透过了窗帘的缝隙，寂静的夜把我揽入怀中，是那般温柔而澄澈。家人们都睡了，脚步声也停止了，我讨厌的或是喜欢的，也都坠入了夜的深渊。我痴痴的望着，眼皮却已微沉。而就在这时，我仿佛透过天花板，看到了夜的背景，深深约约的，孤单地随着云挪动着，它在记起什么，又在忘却什么……它似乎在对我微笑，给我安慰。寂寞的心，在夜里找到了依托，在夜的亲抚下，我也不知不觉沉入梦境，梦里没

有劳累和烦恼，只有星空之下相依的我和母亲，母亲幸福地笑着，弯弯的眼眸间闪着光…… 受过的伤，在奇妙的夜里被无限地放大而后被治愈。第二天醒来，昨日的一切便已成为过去。我睁开眼，被子整整齐齐地盖在我的身上，还加了条毯子，高压锅突突冒气的声音充溢在房间的每个角落。新的初阳已经升起，我起身拉开窗帘，刹那间便与暖融融的阳光撞了个满怀，一切都焕然一新。我也突然明白了，不是夜治愈了我，而是长夜给了我时间，让我学着去自愈呀。门突然吱呀一声开了，我猛地回头，母亲倚在门框上温柔地望着我：“起床啦，赶紧去吃饭，有你爱吃的饺子，上学别迟到了。”她笑了，弯弯的眼眸间闪着光，我也笑了，温柔溢满了心房：“好，马上！” 每一个漫漫的长夜，陪伴着多少人治愈了多少受伤的心，也让下一个清晨更加晴朗，而蜕变的自己，却也美得动人，美得安谧…… 长夜过后，黎明终至。

——你好啊 ——好啊 ——学校如何 ——没问题这是龙应台与安德烈假期中会面的情形，也是我曾经放学后与父母的对话。晚餐桌前，相对而坐，却默默无言。眼睛，盯着手机；手指，飞快滑动。从初中就开始读龙应台的书。从《目送》到《孩子，你慢慢来》，再到《亲爱的安德烈》。自觉我的成长相似，却又不同。印象中最深刻的是小时候的那次“偶遇”。第一次独自出门，母亲把我送到目的地，却迟迟不愿离开。“快走吧，有同学在这儿呢，我又不是小孩子”，我小声催促着，但母亲依然用不放心的眼神盯着我，把注意安全云云喋喋不休地重复多次后方转身离开。不多时，正谈笑间，忽然瞥见一个熟悉的身影，“漫无目的”在地铁站闲逛。母亲似乎觉察到自己被发现了，尴尬地朝我挥手，视线穿过拥挤的人群径直投来。我，侧身避开，手机上打出一行“不要跟着我”，飞快发送。读到华安16岁时，作为交换生前往美国，在机场只是勉强接受母亲的深情拥抱时，我不禁共鸣。用爱的目光追随，渴望孩子回头一瞥的母亲们，终究没能如愿。想来，我那一日定给母亲留下了一份抹不去的伤感…… 初中三年，向往独立实则莽撞的年纪，与父母总有距离。面对母亲抛出的话题，我只是敷衍。对她萦绕在耳边的

唠叨更是厌烦至极，总是忍不住生硬打断。每每听到父母回忆我小时候，如何粘着母亲赖在她身边，不放她去上班，如何对她言听计从，都觉得不甚真实，却又心头一热。这情景像极了华安第一天上学，频繁回头看校门口的母亲。我们那时，都离不开这世上最温暖的怀抱。如今的我，与华安踏上了同样的征程，出国求学，仿佛一只雏鸟离开了安逸的巢穴。天空海阔，突然没有母亲的唠叨，少了母亲的关怀，其实心中空落落。 ——你好啊 ——好啊 ——学校如何 ——没问题这是国外的我与母亲的电话。其实有数不清的事想与她分享，因为时间，因为距离，总是长话短说。在孤单落寞的时候，在委屈不平的时候，我无数次渴望回到母亲的拥抱，那是我最坚实的后盾，最安心的港湾。在我看来，千里之隔使交流变得单薄，但母亲致力于抓住每个点滴与我分享。她记录美食新品，拍下四季变迁，她用图片和文字的传递让我参与进他们的生活，建立一份与家的羁绊。在成长的路途上，我追着母亲，母亲追着我，我们走走停停。转身，又相遇。龙应台写道“他用背影默默告诉你：不必追”。是的，不必追。这不是决绝和冷漠，是让你们放心，让你们可以歇一歇，因为我长大了，可以独自前行。文心曾评“但追逐孩子背影是父母血液里的执拗”。是的，若爱是一份执念，任其追逐，又有何妨。我的父母曾告诉我，他们紧跟我的脚步，是想能在不远处给予力量和支持。那作为子女，我们不如学会停一停，放慢一点脚步，等一等追逐的父母。主动拨去一个电话，微信上用心回复消息，都会让彼此的心贴得更近。父母之爱，不该厌弃。此情应彼此珍视，此意当永驻心间！
