你也可以!從平凡中挖掘自己的非凡
從戰亂中成長的萊陽子弟,到流亡的中學生;
從抗戰志願青年軍,到八二三炮戰前線老兵;
從賴世雄在軍校的英文教官,到常春藤終身高級英文顧問。
這些 ── 都是張為麟一生扮演的角色。
卸下這些見證生命歷程的頭銜,
他也是母親的孩子、姊妹的兄弟、愛妻的丈夫、孩子的慈父。
其平實文字背後訴說的是,
沒有所謂「平凡」的一生。
因為我們生命中的不同境遇、生離死別,
都只讓人的一生顯得格外「非凡」。
Bill Chang’s life story is the story of the last 100 years of human history.
Born in eastern China in 1929, Bill has seen and done it all. From an impoverished but joyful childhood in Shandong province to his twilight years in the US—via a decorated career in the military—he has been at the forefront of world events.
Now in his 90s, Bill has gifted the world this fascinating, thrilling, yet humble memoir. Combining personal anecdotes with the sweep of 20th century history, he regales us with tales of perilous journeys during the civil war, magical fruit-picking afternoons, ferocious artillery battles, and heartwarming reunions.
Bill always had a talent for English, developing his passion at school and then honing his skills in the army. He also taught English and edited several reference books, and was an inspiration for renowned educator Peter Lai. Bill has enthralled his students for decades. Let him enthrall you, too. |
