老兵们永远不死
网上又在争论谁才是抗战英雄,在我看来凡是实际参加过抗战的都是英雄。不必要分党派. 正如当年蒋公庐山抗战声明。地无分東西南北,年不分男女老幼, 皆有守土抗战之责. 更何况党派乎!
今天我特别要说的是当年投笔从戎从西南联大和全国各地加入共军,国军或甚至美军抗战的知识分子. 他们许多人放弃了个人的大好前途和甚至赴美留学的机会,以血肉之躯和缚鸡之力在战场上死拼装备精良和训练有素的日本侵略军, 其书生义气, 义薄云天, 其民族气节,气壮山河. 当中国最优秀的一群学生脱下长袍和围巾,告别年迈的父老,高唱悲壮的战歌, 拿起他们并不熟悉的简陋的武器,义无反顾地走向战场的时候,确实说明了中华民族已经到了最后的时刻,在通常意义下,这应该是一个民族应该保留的最后一批种子,和最后的希望. 但这也同时展现了这个民族在关键时刻所爆发的凝聚力, 生命力, 和战斗精神。 这个民族是不可消灭的。
从学术到操守,这些知识分子各方面都不愧为中国最优秀的一代知识分子。 在历史上,他们也客观上成了中国最后一代传统意义上的知识分子。他们忍辱负重,他们英勇牺牲,他们无悔无怨. 相对父母辈们的奋斗和牺牲,我们没有后退的余地,我们没有逃避的借口。我们也曾脚踏实地,我们也曾别无选择。我们也曾奋勇向前. 让我们最后的生命也象父母辈们那样放射出最后的光辉。让各种暴风雨来得更猛烈吧。
老兵们永远不死
Old soldier never die.
Those who gave up their academic pursuits to join the GCD, GMD or even USA army from the best schools of China to fight against Japs with their blood and life are the best generation of intellectuals of China. They were also the last generation of intellectuals of China in the traditional sense. They bitten the bullet, they courageously sacrificed, they had no regrets. Comparing with their struggle and sacrifice, we have no place for retreat, we have no an excuse to escape. We were also down to earth, we had no choice too, We had been courageously marching forward. Let our last life shine the final glory such as our parents. Let it break in all its fury ... ....
