志工的楷模

-敬悼杨家驊兄

上週日在休斯敦西北区的追悼会, 近千位杨家驊先生的挚友、 同学、 同事、 社团代表向这位社区领袖及志工告别 ，从大家在告别式上的肺服之言， 导出他数十年来对社会之贡献， 他一生助人為乐， 热心公益。

生长在文革时期 ，就如他夫人季家鳯教授所言，一家人靠些酱油佐餐度日 ，那是多麼令人心酸而流涙的时代， 他们夫妻凭着坚强的毅力，从高考 读研到留学美国， 為他们的人生创建了另一个春天。

对於知青的过去 ，美南新闻及电视曾经不断报导过，他们那些可歌可泣下乡下海的感人故事 ，八十 年代自从中国大陆改革开放以来 ，大批精英到了美国 ，把他们最好的年华和知识贡献给了美国 ，但是他们对华夏文化及故郷情仍然非常怀念， 今天我们生活在这块土地上， 同是华夏民族的后裔， 相互扶持和帮助 ，是我们多年来从事媒体事业之主旨。

美南新闻曾経举办无数大小社区活动， 从过去二十五年来的新春游园会， 嵩山少林寺武术表演， 庆祝二次大战结束七十週年大会， 以及各华人社团表演活动， 都会看到这位掛着笑容在台前台后搬道具、 协调演出， 甚至清理现场 ，他能弯下腰来做些别人不愿屈就的事， 正是他服务人群伟大志工的表现。

杨家驊兄在他七十多年的岁月中， 有了陪伴他半世纪的伴侣季教授， 并培养了知书达理的孩子， 学业及事业也很圆满 ，事实上，他最大的贡献是成為一位真正的志工 ，為他週围的人群发光发热 ，他是我们的表率， 更是志工的楷模。

A Model Of Volunteering

Tribute To Brother Yang Jiahua

At the memorial service in northwest Houston, almost one thousand of Mr. Yang’s friends, classmates, colleagues and community leaders said goodbye to him. From all the words spoken at the farewell ceremony, all the speakers emphasized how much Mr. Yang contributed to our community and praised his lifelong enthusiasm for the public welfare.

Growing up during the Chinese cultural revolution period, as his wife Professor JK said in her book, the family lived on soy sauce to accompany meals which was so sad to hear, but both of them worked hard and passed their exams and went on to college and finally came to America where together they created their second spring time. Our newspaper and TV have consistently reported on their touching story.

Over the last several years, Southern News Group has held countless community events including celebrations of the Lunar New Year and the 70th Anniversary of the End of World II, as well as many cultural performance activities of the many ethnic groups in our community. We always saw Mr. Yang helping to coordinate the show, moving chairs with a smiling face. He was just the greatest volunteer

In his more than seventy years of life, Brother Yang was very fortunate to spend more

than one-half century with his lovely wife and have a very outstanding son. He is not only just successful in his career, but most importantly, he is a real volunteer for our community.
