Taiwan Island Village: 台灣島村 013agg: Hsinchu (Xinzhu) High School Reminisced; 憶竹中; 忆竹中: 2011-04-25: In Memory of Chu Chung Passed-away Classmates; 懷念竹中往生同學們

二○一○年中期，我收到國立新竹高中民國四十九年畢業班同學通訊錄，
我發現在二十七位往生同學中，我認識十二位。我寫了兩篇文章關於陳茂
森和王吉平，現在我要來懷念其他我認得的十位同學，他們是周建陽、卜
忠雄、卜廣坤、賴正義、甘松山、連勝雄、鄧俊宏、鄭建雄、何智弘及陳
盛弼。

周建陽：是竹中校醫周炳煌的兒子，在我的竹中六年中，每天上學我都會
經過他們的診所，那是一幢很漂亮的兩層樓房，我不記得我們是否同過
班，但我知道我認識他，我對他的印象是：他很和氣也是個好人。

卜忠雄及卜廣坤：是我在竹中高中丁班的同學，卜忠雄非常愛好運動，他
是一個鉛球比賽得獎者，這樣強壯的一個人，怎麼會這麼早離開我們呢？
卜廣坤是韓國僑生，雙卜都是非常好的人，也是很強壯的。

賴正義：一九六一年他是唯一一位從其他系（地質系），轉系到醫學系
的，對國立台灣大學的學生而言，這是一個偉大的成就，因為台大醫學系
是大多數高中畢業生的首選。在一九六二年夏天，我們都住在台大第六宿
舍，我們有很多共同的樂趣，我們甚至去了萬華看看妓女戶。

甘松山：是我高一乙班的同學，我們都叫他甘兒子，他並不介意，真是個
好人！他是湯廷池老師家鄉的小孩，湯老師請他家鄉的孩子們到他家的時
候，使我們很嫉妒，這就是為什麼我們稱他為湯老師的甘兒子，最近我跟
湯老師聊了很久，他告訴我他為什麼如此對待甘松山和他家鄉的小孩們，
那是由於每到夏季，他在他的家鄉小學做志願工作，所以他認識這些人是
他們都非常年輕的時候，他們締造了一個很特殊的感情。

連勝雄和鄭建雄：雙雄是我在民富小學仁班的同班同學，他們也都是我竹
中初中丁班的同班同學。連勝雄住在離我新竹家不太遠，在我上學的路
上，我會經過他家。鄭建雄是民富棒球隊的隊員，他非常愛好運動和強
壯，他們兩位都是很和氣也都是好人。

鄧俊宏：是我高一乙班的同學，很抱歉，我真的不知道如何寫他的事情，
因為我認識他不夠深。

何智弘：一九七○年代在柏克萊，由曾文守介紹我們認識的，他和曾文守
是竹北同鄉，很抱歉，我又真的不知道如何寫他的事情，因為我認識他也
不夠深。

陳盛弼是我竹中高中丁班的同學，很抱歉，我又真的不知道如何寫他的事
情，因為我認識他也不夠深。

我寫下了我記得的這些美好的同學的事情後，現在我感覺好多了。我的腦
海有一個問題：「為什麼這些好人並沒有活很久呢？」就像中國一句老
話：「好人不長壽，壞人活千年。」我不是壞人，所以不會活千年的，
哈！哈！這些往生同學們都是強壯又很好的人，他們這麼快離開我們是不
公平的，他們將留在我餘生的記憶中。我希望他們的家人知道，我們是多
麼關心他們。

添裕的觀點：

我們大多數已接近七十歲了，它被認為是一個人生罕見的年齡（人生七十
古來稀）。我不認為我們可以改變生活的事實，我們的身體每一秒都會變
差，沒有什麼我們可以做來阻止老化的，但在我們的腦袋是可以由我們來
處理，我的建議是：認為您很年輕，那麼您就會感覺自己很年輕，嘗試過
最充足的每一天，你將是一個非常快樂的人。試試吧，你會喜歡它，祝福
您和您的家人，謝謝！請參閱下列唐寅的詞：

唐寅「七十」詞

人生七十古稀，我年七十為奇。前十年幼小，後十年衰老；中間止有五十
年，一半又在夜裏過了。算來止有二十五年在世，受盡多少奔波煩惱。

附啟：唐寅（唐伯虎）是明朝的才子，這個笑話的中文版是省立新竹中學
校友提供的。我快七十歲了，我完全不這樣想的。我一生都在想我很年
輕。我有一個少年的腦在我幾乎七十歲的身體。年輕的思維會使你感到年
輕和有活力。你要試圖找出你的心理年齡。我保證你會驚奇的，否則退
錢。這是我至誠的忠告。

After I received the Chu Chung Class ’60 Directory in mid 2010, I found out that I
knew twelve of twenty-seven passed away classmates. I had written two articles
about 陳茂森 and 王吉平. Now I would like to pay my respect of the other ten
classmates who I knew personally. They are 周建陽,卜忠雄, 卜廣坤, 賴正義, 甘松山,
連勝雄, 鄧俊宏, 鄭建雄, 何智弘及陳盛弼.

周建陽 was the son of our school doctor 周炳煌. I passed by their office every school
day during my Chu Chung six years tenure. It was a beautiful two story building. I
don’t remember that whether we were in the same class, but I just knew him. My
impression of him was he was very personal and nice guy.

卜忠雄及卜廣坤 were my Senior Chu Chung Ding Ban classmates. 卜忠雄 was very
athletic. He was a medal winner of Shot Put (鉛球) contest. How could such a strong
man leave us so early? 卜廣坤 was a Korean oversea student. Both (雙卜) were very
nice and strong men.

賴正義 was the only one got transferred from other department (Department of
Geology) to the Department of Medicine of National Taiwan University (NTU) in
1961. It was a great achievement, since NTU’s Department of Medicine was the top
choice of most high school grads. In the summer of 1962, we both stayed in NTU
Dormitory No. 6. We had a lot of fun together. We even went to 萬華 to see what a
whore house was like.

甘松山 was my Yee Ban classmate in the first year of Senior Chu Chung. We called
him “Guard Son (甘兒子)”. He did not mind at all. What a nice guy! He was a home
town kid of 湯廷池老師. 湯老師 invited his home town kids to his home sometime. It
made us jealous. That was why we called him the “Guard Son (甘兒子)” of 湯老師.
Recently I had a long talk with 湯老師, he told me why he was so close to 甘松山 and
other his home town kids. It was due to his volunteer work at his home town primary
school every summer, so he knew these guys when they were very young. It created
a special bond.

連勝雄 and 鄭建雄 were my Min-Fu Primary School Ren Ban classmates. Both were
also my Junior Chu Chung Ding Ban classmates. 連勝雄 lived not too far from my
home in Hsinchu. I passed by his home on my route to Chu Chung. 鄭建雄 was in
the baseball team of Min-Fu. He was very athletic and strong. Both of them were very
personal and nice.

鄧俊宏 was my Senior Chu Chung first year Yee Ban classmate. I am sorry that I
don’t really know him well enough to write something about him.

何智弘 was in Berkeley in 1970s. 曾文守 introduced us while we were in Berkeley.
He and 曾文守 were from the same home town, Chu-Bei. I am sorry again that I don’
t really know him well enough to write something about him.

陳盛弼 was my Senior Chu Chung Ding Ban classmate. I am sorry again that I don’t
really know him well enough to write something about him.

Now I feel much relief after I wrote down what I remembered about these wonderful
passed-away classmates. One question comes to my mind: “Why these nice guys
did not last?” Was it like the Chinese old saying: “Nice guy did not have a long life
and bad guy lasts one thousand years or forever (好人不長壽，壞人活千年)”? I am
not a bad guy, so I won’t live one thousand years. Ha! Ha! These passed-away
classmates were strong and nice men. It is just not fair for them to leave us so
soon. They will be in my memory for the rest of my life. I wish their family knew how
much we cared about them.

T.Y.’s Point:

Most of us are approaching seventy years young. It was considered to be a rare age
in life (人生七十古來稀). I don’t think we could change the fact of life. Our body will
deteriorate every second. There is nothing we could do to stop aging, but what
inside our head is up to us to deal with. My recommendation is to think young and
then you will feel young. Try to live every day to the fullest; you will be a very happy
person. Try it, you will like it. Best wishes to you and your family. Thanks (謝謝)!
Please see the following Phrase by Tang Yn:

“70” Phrase by Tang Yn

Seventy is a rare age in life for us since the ancient times. I am surprised that I am
seventy years old now. My first ten years, I was young and naive. The last ten years, I
have been old and weak. There were other fifty years. Half of these ages were in the
dark. There are only twenty-five years during which I am awakened and useful. I still
suffered a lot trouble and worked hard.

PS: Tang Yn (Tang Baihu) was a scholar and genius of South China in Ming
Dynasty. This Phrase (詞) was provided by Provincial Hsinchu High School
alumnus. I am almost seventy years old. I do not think this way at all. I have been
thinking young all my life. I have a brain of teenager in my head with a body of
almost seventy year old. Thinking young will make you feel young and energetic.
You have to try to find out your mental age. You will be surprised; I guaranteed it or
your money back. This is my sincere advice.
