白馬湖最好的時(shí)候是黃昏。湖上的山籠著一層青色的薄霧，水里映著參差模糊的影子，水光微微暗淡，像是一面古銅鏡。輕風(fēng)吹來，有一兩縷波紋，但隨即平靜了。天上偶見幾只歸鳥，我們看著它們?cè)斤w越遠(yuǎn)，直到不見為止。這個(gè)時(shí)候便是我們喝酒的時(shí)候。

——朱自清《白馬湖》

朱自清的《荷塘月色》開頭寫道：“妻在屋里拍著閏兒，迷迷糊糊地哼著眠歌……”2006年11月27日，已經(jīng)時(shí)隔八十年了，父親筆下的“閏兒”朱閏生一行，不想又來到浙江省春暉中學(xué)，重溫春暉情懷，再讀《荷塘月色》。82歲的朱閏生此次系攜夫人和兒子朱曉濤首次來到浙江上虞回望春暉：1925年農(nóng)歷閏四月，朱閏生出生在白馬湖畔，當(dāng)時(shí)，朱自清在春暉中學(xué)教授國文。與朱自清同時(shí)期在白馬湖執(zhí)教的還有經(jīng)亨頤、蔡元培、王佐、何香凝、夏尊、豐子愷、朱光潛、王任叔等，因了大批名人的會(huì)聚，“白馬湖文學(xué)流派”響徹上個(gè)世紀(jì)二三十年代的中國文壇。

重回兒時(shí)“驛站”

漫長曲折的人生旅途上，兒時(shí)畢竟是首發(fā)的“驛站”。如今年事已高的朱閏生老人，滿懷深情地步行于春暉校園。春暉的校園幾經(jīng)擴(kuò)建擁有了更多開放和現(xiàn)代的氣息，但八十年來老校長經(jīng)亨頤提出的“與時(shí)俱進(jìn)”的校訓(xùn)沒有變，春暉倡導(dǎo)的“高山仰止、景行行止”的精神沒有變，春暉寧靜的景色沒有變。

踩著校園的小徑，仿佛踩著當(dāng)年父親的足跡。朱閏生老人說：“整整八十年，我終于圓了重回春暉的夢(mèng)想。白馬湖是我的出生地，無數(shù)次在夢(mèng)中我與春暉相遇，今天，我來了?！?/p>

在經(jīng)亨頤銅像前，在春暉園，在平屋，朱閏生老人一一留影，他要帶走白馬湖最美的記憶。穿過北校門的“春暉橋”，是“白馬湖名人風(fēng)情園”。夏尊先生平屋的隔墻就是朱自清居住的三間小屋。朱先生的小屋前，早先是一條通向驛亭火車站的煤渣土路，先生踏著它進(jìn)出于校門和舍門，很是有點(diǎn)兒感慨，于是寫下了“那黑黑的細(xì)細(xì)顆粒，腳踏上去，便發(fā)出一種摩擦的騷音，給人多少清新的趣味”這么一段精彩文字。

在歲月中守望了整整八十年的小屋，此刻更加安靜與質(zhì)樸。它在等待，等待一位遠(yuǎn)方的游子；它在期盼，期盼游子的歸來。黑色漆木大門，院內(nèi)橘樹繁茂，白墻青磚黑瓦，古舊家居陳設(shè)，早先父親的居所，如今已作為父親的紀(jì)念室。時(shí)光流逝，雖然年幼的記憶如此模糊，但此刻，對(duì)父親的思念卻如此強(qiáng)烈。

朱閏生把這所給了他生命中最單純的兩年歲月的房子挨個(gè)看了個(gè)遍，堂前坐坐，書房看看，灶頭摸摸，回憶白馬湖給予的生命，回憶生命中的白馬湖……老人在他出生的房間床前安靜地坐了許久，并向我們講述自己心目中的父親。

仰望父親“背影”

“在新文學(xué)運(yùn)動(dòng)初期，便已在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)著文壇”的朱自清，1924年3月2日應(yīng)夏尊之邀來到白馬湖畔。4月16日，朱自清寫成《春暉的一月》：“我右手是個(gè)小湖，左手是個(gè)大湖，湖有這樣大，使我自己覺得小了。湖水有這樣滿，仿佛要漫到我的腳下，湖在山的腳邊，山在湖的唇邊，他倆這樣親密，湖將山全吞下去了，吞的是青的，吐的是綠的，那個(gè)軟軟的綠呀，綠的是一片……”朱自清眼中的春暉總是這樣的迷人。

當(dāng)年，在朱自清之前被請(qǐng)來的還有黃炎培、沈仲九、沈澤民、張聞天、陳望道、劉大白、葉圣陶、胡愈之、廖承志、張大千、黃賓虹、柳亞子、舒新城、俞平伯等一批又一批學(xué)者，這些大學(xué)者和社會(huì)名流，坐著咣當(dāng)咣當(dāng)?shù)挠蚕疖?，或乘著乃作響的夜航船從四面八方來到春暉中學(xué)，學(xué)者們那些即便在中國最高學(xué)府清華和北大的講壇上也可博得滿堂彩的演講，對(duì)偏隅于浙東一處四面皆山的白馬湖畔的春暉學(xué)子們來說，實(shí)在是一種最高享受的精神美餐了！這些文學(xué)家、藝術(shù)家、大學(xué)者、教育家抑或集大成者，是沖著春暉中學(xué)的教育精神而聚集在白馬湖畔的。

1925年8月，朱自清受聘于清華大學(xué)離開白馬湖，1927年1月舉家遷往北平。年幼的閏兒離開白馬湖后開始了在清華園無憂的孩童時(shí)代，直至從山西財(cái)政廳離休定居揚(yáng)州后，一直沒有再到過春暉。

朱自清短暫的春暉任教生活，留下的不僅是諸如《白馬湖書錄》《剎那》《飄零》《海行雜記》《白采的詩》《兒女》《白馬湖》《看花》等與春暉有關(guān)的美文，“不大談?wù)芾?，只是談一點(diǎn)家常瑣事，雖是像淡香疏影似的不過幾筆，卻常能把那真誠的靈魂捧出來給讀者看”的朱自清，“一副黑邊眼鏡，清秀癯孱，果然是一介書生儒雅”，然而先生的脊梁卻是錚錚鐵骨，這正是一個(gè)人、一個(gè)民族少不得的傲骨。

閏兒年輕時(shí)曾經(jīng)為了學(xué)習(xí)新聞進(jìn)入國民黨黨報(bào)工作，在那個(gè)動(dòng)蕩的年代，這份工作十分難得?？珊髞硭闳粵Q然地放棄了?！笆歉赣H的死使我走上了革命的道路，他的正義感和強(qiáng)烈的愛國心深深地震撼了我?！睆拇怂_始參加黨的地下工作。解放后他從華北人民革命大學(xué)畢業(yè)，曾在山西省財(cái)政廳工作，任省政協(xié)委員。

“文章巨擘，學(xué)術(shù)名家，育人知多少？節(jié)操昭著，愛國情深，教誨永難忘?！备呱窖鲋?，先生巨大而久遠(yuǎn)的人格力量一直激勵(lì)著春暉的前進(jìn)，浸潤著春暉的成長，見證著春暉的輝煌。我們依稀見到那些以往在春暉這片鐘情于教育的土地上留下足跡的教育大家漸行漸遠(yuǎn)的身影！

再登春暉“論壇”

八十年前，朱自清在國文課上鼓勵(lì)春暉學(xué)子：“你們不要怕文章寫不好，我的第一篇在刊物上發(fā)表的長詩《毀滅》，就是投了又退，退了又投，反復(fù)四五次才得以錄用的。”他還強(qiáng)調(diào)作文過程中的一個(gè)“真”字，說：“真就是自然，藻飾過甚，真意轉(zhuǎn)晦?！彼园l(fā)自肺腑之聲直訴讀者心靈，當(dāng)時(shí)正值“五卅”慘案和濟(jì)南慘案發(fā)生之際，朱先生便帶領(lǐng)學(xué)生分頭到百官、小越、驛亭等集鎮(zhèn)街頭演講，這使春暉學(xué)生的文學(xué)素質(zhì)很快提高而蜚聲海內(nèi)，被譽(yù)為“北有南開，南有春暉”。

時(shí)光輪轉(zhuǎn)八十年，朱閏生再登春暉講臺(tái)。高三(3)班的學(xué)生們用長久而熱烈的掌聲表達(dá)了對(duì)這位遠(yuǎn)道而來的老人的尊敬。朱閏生說：“同學(xué)們，我就是《荷塘月色》中的閏兒。”孩子們驚訝的眼神里透露出幸福的笑容?！伴c兒”說，八十年來，重溫春暉情懷一直是我的夢(mèng)想，今天，我的夢(mèng)想終于實(shí)現(xiàn)了。春暉是一所中國名校，當(dāng)初有“北南開南春暉”的美譽(yù)，如今，春暉學(xué)子遍及海內(nèi)外。能在春暉學(xué)習(xí)，是你們的驕傲，希望大家要學(xué)會(huì)把握機(jī)會(huì)，找準(zhǔn)人生的坐標(biāo)，擁有創(chuàng)新意識(shí)，以后為國家的興旺發(fā)達(dá)盡自己的力量。

“閏兒”來訪，讓孩子們滿心歡喜。聽說還能與朱閏生老人有單獨(dú)交流的機(jī)會(huì)，孩子們更是興奮與激動(dòng)。學(xué)生們用最快速度找出高一語文課本，自覺排起長隊(duì)，請(qǐng)朱閏生老人簽名。在課文《荷塘月色》旁，或在扉頁朱自清畫像旁，朱閏生老人為孩子們簽下了“朱閏生(閏兒)”。

課堂上還舉行了簡樸的捐贈(zèng)儀式，朱閏生老人把兩套《朱自清散文集》和一套《朱自清全集》贈(zèng)給春暉中學(xué)作為留念。

閏兒帶著我們?nèi)ふ疫z失久遠(yuǎn)的夢(mèng)，他自己則是沉浸在夢(mèng)境中不愿意出來。他那么安詳、自然地感受和享受著家園帶給他的幸福和滿足，家園中那些極其細(xì)微的變化也在他的情感和心靈中投下永遠(yuǎn)無法淡化的投影。

A Visit after 80 Years

By Li Han

The White Horse Lake was a national phenomenon of education and literature in the 1920s in China. During that period， many first-class writers and teachers came all the way and taught or gave lectures at Chunhui Middle School on the White Horse Lake in eastern Zhejiang Province. These big names alone could be a significant part of the history of China’s literature and education of that time.

Zhu Ziqing， a teacher and writer who had risen to popularity during the New Culture Movement (around the time of the May 4th Movement in 1919)， came to the lake on March 2， 1924. During the two years when he was teaching at the school， Zhu Ziqing recorded his life there in a few lyrical essays which have become timeless masterpieces in modern China’s literature.

In Moonlight over the Lotus Pond， one of his most famous essays， Zhu Ziqing writes， “And my wife was in the house patting the baby， humming a lullaby sleepily”. The baby in the essays refers to Zhu Runsheng， who was born in the home by the side of the White Horse Lake in April， 1925.

On November 27th， 2006， the 81-year-old Zhu Runsheng， with his wife and their son， came back to the Chunhui Middle School for the first time in his life.

Nothing seems to have changed around the lake. The house where his father lived is kept intact in a span of 80 years. To reach the house， you go through the black gate and enter a garden where orange trees flourish. The house still has the white walls and black-tile roof， a typical architectural feature for folk residences seen in this part of the country. The furniture in the house remains unchanged. The room where Zhu Runsheng was born is still there. The house， though， is kept as a memorial in commemoration of Zhu Ziqing. Zhu Runsheng lived in the house for only two years. Though his memories about himself of that time are most vague， he knows clearly about his father as a literary master and his story in the lakeside school. Zhu Ziqing’s life as a teacher there is as memorable as his essays are by the White Horse Lake.

Decades ago， Zhu Runsheng worked in a news media run by the Kuomintang. By working there， he meant to get hands-on experience and learn to be a journalist. But his father’s death turned him to revolution. The father’s sense of justice and patriotism spurred the son considerably. He began to do the underground work for the Communist Party. After the liberation in 1949， he worked at the finance administration in Shanxi Province and later as a member of the provincial CPPCC.

Decades ago， Zhu Ziqing encouraged his students to write truthfully and get rid of flowery diction. He took students to streets to speak to the public in the neighborhoods on national political issues. Eighty years later， Zhu Runsheng spoke to the senior students in the school and encouraged them to study hard and make contributions to the prosperity of the motherland.

A brief ceremony was held after the short speech. Zhu Runsheng presented two complete collections of his father’s essays and a complete works of his father to the school and then autographed for the students.
