2024年9月14日上午，清澜山初中部八年级一班的同学们踏上了前往东莞泗安麻风康复村的志愿服务之旅。
这次旅程的初衷源自一堂语文课上同学推荐阅读的《我的朋友来自1918》这本书。书中记录了作者谢翠屏与26位麻风病康复者的日常生活和交往。
通过这本书，同学们深入了解了这些充满活力又可爱的老人，有了亲自前往探访的愿望。他们希望通过此行，探索并了解这个不同时代的老人们生活的世界。
来到麻风康复村，阳光明媚，高大的树木在阳光下挺拔。同学们沿着林荫小道行走，金色阳光透过树叶洒在铺满青苔的地面上。
这里没有城市的喧嚣，仿佛一个宁静的天堂。在这片宁静中，老人们过着简朴而充实的生活。
逢中秋佳节，为了给老人们带去温暖与关爱，同学们精心准备了丰富多彩的表演节目，包括魔术表演、乐器演奏、歌唱和舞蹈等。老人们带着满足的笑容，欣赏了同学们的表演。
舞台下充满了欢声笑语。虽然是饱经磨难的麻风病康复者，但老人们就像一个个可爱的小朋友。他们经历了很多苦痛，也看透了这世间的人情世故，却更努力开心地活着。
其中，有一位老人给同学们留下了深刻印象。他是彭伯，也是村里知名的画家。彭伯于1975年来到泗安麻风康复村，至今已有近50年。这些年来，尽管他因麻风失去了手指，但他仍坚持绘画和书法创作，成为了“无指画师”。
彭伯创作了许多艺术作品并出售，所得款项也全部捐赠给了有需要的人。彭伯谦逊地说，他现在年事已高，作品已不如以前精湛。然而当他展示出两幅作品时，小房间里传出了同学们一阵阵的惊叹。
画中的花朵如绚烂的晚霞般绽放，正如麻风村的老人们一样，赋予他人力量。
活动结束后，同学们感慨良多。以下是其中几位同学的心声：
01
我深切感受到，给予老人们温暖的最好方式，就是倾听他们的故事，分享他们的快乐，让他们感受到这个世界依然关心和爱护他们。
—— Alice Yu
02
或许一开始见到他们残缺的身体会让我有些不适，但到了最后赠送礼物时，我和大家都能笑脸相迎。他们发自内心的笑容感染了我们。我非常喜欢这次活动，它让我明白了人们即使经历了种种挑战，依然可以如此坚强、乐观和善良。我将永远记住他们和这个村庄。
——Jacky Meng
03
走进麻风村，跟我想象中的样子截然不同。虽然身体都有残疾，但老人们对待生活的态度积极向上，非常的乐观，满面笑容，很让人敬佩。大家应该消除对他们的偏见与歧视，给予他们更多的关爱与支持，他们需要更多人的关心与帮助，我也加入了爱心慈善月捐活动，希望我小小的举动，能给他们带来一丝丝温暖。
——Cyrus Chang
从书本到现实，将志愿服务从校园延伸到身边的社区。在这次活动中，八一班的同学们不仅通过老人们的故事了解了他们的过往，还深刻体会到每位老人内心丰富的情感。他们每个人都有独特的个性和魅力，这也是他们最与众不同的地方。
这些老人深深打动了同学们，在将来的某一天，同学们也许会再次来到这个美丽的地方，与老人们一同仰望成群的白鹭飞向蓝天。

On the morning of September 14, students from Class 1, Grade 8 of Tsinglan School's Middle School Division embarked on a volunteer service trip to the Si'an Leprosy Rehabilitation Village in Dongguan.
The inspiration for this visit came from a Chinese class where a classmate recommended the book My Friends Come From 1918. The book records the daily lives and interactions between the author, Xie Cuiping, and 26 elderly leprosy survivors.
Through this book, the students came to know these lively and endearing seniors and felt a desire to visit them in person. They hoped that this visit would allow them to see the world beyond their own and meet those who had lived through a different era.
Arriving at the rehabilitation village, we were greeted by bright sunlight and rows of tall trees standing proudly in the light. Walking along shaded paths, golden sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting gentle rays on the moss-covered ground.
The village felt like a serene paradise, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. In this peaceful setting, the elders live simple yet fulfilling lives.
In celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival, we prepared a variety of performances to bring joy and warmth to the elders, including magic shows, musical performances, singing, and dancing. The elders, with satisfied smiles, enjoyed the performances, and the atmosphere was filled with laughter.
Although they have endured the hardships of being leprosy survivors, these seniors were as endearing as children. Despite all the pain they have experienced and the wisdom they’ve gained from life’s trials, they continue to live with joy and optimism.
Among the elders, one left a particularly deep impression on us. His name is Uncle Peng, a well-known artist in the village. He came to the Si'an Leprosy Rehabilitation Village in 1975 and has lived here for nearly 50 years. Despite losing his fingers to leprosy, he never stopped painting or practicing calligraphy, earning the title of "fingerless artist."
Over the years, Uncle Peng created numerous artworks and calligraphy pieces, which he sold, donating all the proceeds to those in need. He humbly mentioned that his paintings are no longer as good due to his age. However, when he showed us two of his works, we couldn’t help but marvel at their beauty.
The flowers in his paintings bloomed with vibrant hues, much like the resilience and strength of the elders in the village.
After the event, many of us had heartfelt reflections. Here are a few excerpts:
01
I deeply felt that the best way to bring warmth to the elders is by listening to their stories, sharing in their joy, and letting them feel that the world still cares for and loves them.
—— Alice Yu
02
At first, I felt uneasy when I saw their disabled bodies, but by the time we were giving gifts, I, along with everyone else, was smiling as we greeted them. Their heartfelt smiles were contagious. I really enjoyed this event—it made me realize how strong, optimistic, and kind people can be. I will always remember them and this village.
——Jacky Meng
03
When I first entered the village, it was completely different from what I had imagined. Despite their disabilities, the elders had a positive and optimistic attitude toward life, always smiling, which I found truly admirable. We should eliminate our prejudice and discrimination against them, offering more care and support. They need more attention and help from society. After this visit, I even joined a charity’s monthly donation program, hoping that my small contribution can bring them a bit of warmth.
——Cyrus Chang
From Books to Reality. During this activity, we not only learned about the elders’ past through their stories but also connected deeply with their emotions.
Each elder had their own unique personality and charm, which made them truly special.
These elders deeply touched our hearts, and perhaps one day, we will return to this beautiful place to watch flocks of egrets soar into the blue sky alongside them.
