Qiu's Rhetoric（26）
Ma Xiaoqiu:My spiritual core at elementary school
在我年幼的时候，记得那时没有学前班，孩童年满7岁上小学一年级，而我却是个例外。文革期间，阶级斗争很激烈，我们一家四口居无定所，由此耽误了我上学的时机。
When I was young,I remembered that there was no preschool class at that time,and when a child was 7 years old,he was in first grade,and I was an exception.During the Cultural Revolution,the class struggle was very fierce.Our family of four had no fixed place to live.This delayed the time for me to go to school.
记得11岁那年，母亲才带我去报名入学。11岁按理应该上小学四年级，而我却很尴尬地上三年级。不识字，不会拼音，更不会算术，那时我整个状况像白痴一样。那个年代，我能在学校留下来学习，是因为我会唱样板戏，会跳《白毛女》；我虽不识字，但也会背颂＂老三篇＂，同时还以“椒盐普通话”当上了学校的报幕员，也就是今天的主持人。整个小学年代就这样迷迷蒙蒙地过去了……这导致了我至今不会拼音，提笔写错别字成了家常便饭。印象深刻的是父亲给了我一个＂错别字大王＂的绰号。这就是我真实的童年。
I remember when I was 11 years old,my mother took me to the primary school to enrol.A girl at 11-year-old should go to study at grade 4 in the primary school,but I am very embarrassed to go to the third grade.I couldn't read,couldn't spell,couldn't count,I was like an idiot.In those days,I could stay and study in the school because I could sing model play and dance"White Haired Girl";I could not read,but I could recite"the old three",and I was also selected as the school announcer for my Mandarin,that is today's host.The whole primary school years have passed in such a daze...this has led to me not know how to spell,the writing mistakes become a daily occurrence.Impressive is that my father gave me a nickname"misnomer".This is my real childhood.
佛语说当下即未来，意思是今天的行为决定未来的状况。人生的每一段经历都在得失之间。在那个特殊的年代，我虽然缺失了基础知识的教育，但毛主席的＂老三篇＂却在我灵魂深处种下了不灭的种子。
Buddhist says the moment is the future,it means that today's actions determine the future.Every experience in life is between gains and losses.In that particular era,although I had lost the basic knowledge of education,but Chairman Mao's"old three"planted the seeds of eternal in my soul.
巜为人民服务》纪念张思德，为人民的利益而死，比泰山还重。毛主席引用了司马迁的名言：＂人固有一死，或重于泰山，或轻于鸿毛。＂
“Serve the People”commemorates Zhang Side,who died for the benefit of the people,that is heavier than Mount Tai.Chairman Mao quoted Si Maqian's famous saying:"Man is born to death,or he is heavier than Mount Tai,or lighter than a feather."
《愚公移山》：＂下定决心，不怕牺牲，排除万难，去争取胜利！“愚公用子子孙孙挖山不止的精神感动了上帝，上帝派神仙把两座大山背走了。
"Yu Gong Moves Mountain":"To make up your mind,not to fear sacrifice,to eliminate all difficulties,to fight for victory!"Yu Gong dug the mountains with the spirit of digging by his children constantly one generation after the other,his spirit touched the God and the God sent the immortals to move away the two mountains.
巜纪念白求恩》：一位五十多岁的医生，为了中国人民的解放事业，不远万里从加拿大来到中国，用生命谱写了一首＂毫不利己、专门利人＂的影响世代的精神赞歌！
Memorial to Bethune:a doctor in his fifties traveled thousands of miles from Canada to China for the sake of the Chinese people's liberation cause.He wrote with his life a spiritual hymn"No selfish,only for people"that produces the influence affecting generations.
这就是那个时代留给我的最为珍贵的精神内核，这种无我利他的思想，铸就了中华民族的伟大与非凡！
This is the most precious spiritual core that was left to me in that era.This kind of thinking without self-interest created the greatness and extraordinary of the Chinese nation!
