    含泪的微笑

    含泪的微笑

            10.3.2009

     

           当国内的朋友都在享受国庆中秋8天长假时,我在HK紧张的气氛中度过了两天开心有意义的假期。

     

    大一圣诞节随MUST义工团到江门看望智障儿童的经历依然记忆犹新,而四年之后的中秋,我又回归了义工生涯的轨道,加入了CUHK社会服务组织泉心爱。好好彩,在众多applicants中,被选中今次探望独居老人的program。之前我很害怕,因为我那口不地道的广东话,因为我几乎惨白的义工经历,怕带给老人们失望。

     

    义工大多数都是香港的小本科们,好多还在year1,year2,但是几乎已经都有好丰富的义工经验。像我这种Master已经是老年人级别了,幸好小本科们说我看上去还很年轻,可以冒充下undergraduate。同小本科们一起,整天狂讲广东话,搞得一时间都是广东话思维,频道很难转过来。

     

    (和HK MM 菁菁在地铁口准备出发到探望地)

      

     

    ( LAURA和我探望两位婆婆,其实他们还蛮健谈。很开心我那口广东话可以和她们沟通,嘻嘻) 

     

     

    预期和最终的结果往往有很大不同。原来我还是可以和老人们沟通的。LAURA和我探访的两个婆婆都很健谈,不是那种刻意封闭自己的人。她们见到我们好开心,和我们聊天南地北。能和她们沟通,我觉得好开心,困难没有我之前想象的强大,我可以handle。看到他们开心了,心里那刻的感动无以言表。暗暗下定决心,广东话要练习得更加出色。

     

    只是第二位婆婆悲观些,一直说自己是独居老人,一个人生活了一辈子。当时那刻,我有种想哭的冲动。可我居然笨得不知道怎么安慰,只能说没关系,多出去和朋友聊聊天,多参加社区活动之类。但是我知道,这种心理的问题不是我们一两天的探访就能解决的,只是希望陪她们多说说话,让他们感受到我们的关心。

     

    活动结束,和小本科们一起谈了感受。离开那刻,我微笑了,虽然我知道是含泪的微笑,但是有一种开心,在心里萌芽。

     

    (这个国庆中秋真的好有意义,嘻嘻)

    偶爾路過, 發現您已經身處香江, 並投入、並享受社區服務, 有點感觸, 也有感動。夜了, 明早再給您電話, 看能否在您餘下時見面。順告,彭絲也在這學期開在港大上碩士生課程啊!
