新“少年中国说”
<p>百年前，梁启超先生曾用心呐喊：“少年强则国强，少年独立则国独立！”而梁公的意气风发，终于没有能在我辈身上重现。望着眼前的试题，我想象着梁公气吞山河的豪情，挤出一丝苦涩的笑。</p><p><span word="A">A</span> <span word="hundred">hundred</span> <span word="years">years</span> <span word="ago">ago</span>, <span word="Mr">Mr</span>. <span word="Liang">Liang</span> <span word="Qichao">Qichao</span> <span word="cried">cried</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="heart">heart</span>: "<span word="a">a</span> <span word="strong">strong</span> <span word="youth">youth</span> <span word="means">means</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="strong">strong</span> <span word="country">country</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="independent">independent</span> <span word="youth">youth</span> <span word="means">means</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="independent">independent</span> <span word="country">country</span>!" <span word="But">But</span> <span word="Liang">Liang</span> <span word="Gong">Gong</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="high">high</span> <span word="spirited">spirited</span>, <span word="finally">finally</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="able">able</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="reproduce">reproduce</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="generation">generation</span>. <span word="Looking">Looking</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="test">test</span> <span word="questions">questions</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="front">front</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="me">me</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="imagine">imagine</span> <span word="Liang">Liang</span> <span word="Gong">Gong</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="heroic">heroic</span> <span word="feelings">feelings</span>, <span word="squeezing">squeezing</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="bitter">bitter</span> <span word="smile">smile</span>.</p><p>我们这批孩子是如何成长的？</p><p><span word="How">How</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="children">children</span> <span word="grow">grow</span> <span word="up">up</span>?</p><p>有幸降生在一个和平时代的宽裕家庭里，从还是一颗受精卵开始，我就是一面承重墙。怀着我的母亲，每天补充各种营养素(尽管这个核酸、那个饮品最终都被认定为概念炒作)，听莫扎特(尽管后来被证明并不能让宝宝变得更聪明)；等我出生，喝的是几百元一筒的进口奶粉(尽管据说洋奶粉的昂贵只是因为高额的关税)，满目所及的是无数鲜艳的据称是开发智力的玩具(尽管我并不觉得因此而增加若干脑细胞)；待我长到三岁，父母费尽苦心为我挑选了一所五星幼儿园(尽管幼儿园的毕业考试卷我有一半没做对)，从五岁起我就学习高雅艺术(钢琴与绘画)并接受专业训练(速心算和英语)；上小学了，他们拼命把我搞进一所重点小学，对六年来每天往返三小时的接送生活甘之如饴；进中学了，他们又花费两年积蓄，将我送进一所重点中学，六年来母亲天天亲手煮羹汤把我这只丑小鸭填肥(却一点也不壮)……</p>
