旅居見聞

溫暖人心的往往是他人的真心。

一個人，身居國外，最能打動他的心的不是異域的美麗風景，亦不是特色的珍饈佳肴。當地人的充滿溫情的話語最能觸動人的心靈，溫暖人的心田。

濟南——這是一個可以邂逅溫柔、美麗心靈的城市。2004年初次來到山東大學任職，滿滿當當兩年的時間里，我接觸了眾多誠實好學的學生，自己的心靈亦受到了一次洗禮。2006年任職結束回到日本后，每天過著平淡的日子，我卻總是不斷回想起在濟南的點點滴滴。于是，我終又決定在離開濟南兩年后的2008年再次踏上這塊土地。于是我又可以在濟南的溫情下度過三年時光。

2004年其時，我是住在一座6層樓房的5層。我與一位在路邊修理自行車的先生相識并熟悉起來。記得有一次，我買了一盆花，他放下手中的工作幫我搬到了5樓。我拿出一點錢想略表謝意，結果他連連擺手說“不要不要”。他能暫時拋開那段歷史并以他寬廣的胸懷友好地對待一位旅居的日本人，是讓我終生也難以忘懷的。由他介紹，我與那位賣花的先生也漸漸熟悉起來。每次見面他都會遞過來一支煙。

去年我第二次來到山東大學任職，放下手中的行李，就去拜訪那兩位先生。他們仍然與往常一樣在路邊招呼著生意，為生計忙碌著。時隔兩年再次相逢，大家的喜悅都無以言表。

類似的經歷還有很多，雖然也曾有過不太愉快的經歷，但是，就是這些無名熱心人的只言片語、溫暖舉動，讓我得以在濟南這片異國的土地上快樂地生活著。

語言不通的我，更是得到了山東大學的諸多老師及學生的支持與幫助。山東省是圣人孔子的故鄉，這片土地至今還延續著讓我們這些日本人無法想像的尊師禮節的傳統。止步規規矩矩問好的學生，主動替我擦黑板的學生（在日本，教師都是每節課后自己擦黑板），課后主動幫我拿包的學生#8943;#8943;我深深感到我愿意為這些可愛的學生做我一個日本人所能做的力所能及的事情。

讓我感到遺憾的一件事，那就是山大老校西門，曾經每天一大早就有的燒餅、煎餅果子等小吃的攤位，不知何時起都銷聲匿跡了。不知是因為秋季全運會的召開還是衛生方面的原因，這些小攤都被停辦了。以前那充滿生氣的小商業區風情讓人很是懷念。

給予我無數溫情回憶的濟南城，是我心靈的故土，我將永遠難以忘懷！（請作者速與本刊聯系，以領取稿酬）

What can warm your heart is always the sincerity of other people.

Jinan is a city where you can meet gentle and beautiful hearts. In 2004， for the first time， I came to teach in Shandong University. In two full years， I got to know many honest and diligent students. During the time， my heart was baptized. In 2006， after ending my teaching， I went back to Japan and lived an ordinary life every day. However， I often recalled my life in Jinan bit by bit. So， two years later， in 2008， I decided to come back Jinan again. Then， I had the opportunity to live another three years of life in warm Jinan.

In 2004， I lived at the fifth floor of a six-storey building. I got familiar with a gentleman repairing bicycle by the road. Once， seeing I had bought a pot of flowers， he paused in his work and helped me to move it to the fifth floor. I offered him some money to express my thanks. He kept on waving his hands saying “No! No!” With a broad heart， he could cast aside that period of unhappy history to show kindness to a Japanese visitor: this is something I will remember all my life. Thanks to his introduction， I got familiar with the man who sold flowers. Every time I met him， he passed me a cigarette.

In 2008， when I cam to teach in Shandong University again， as soon as I put down my luggage， I went to visit the two gentlemen. As usual， they were still busy with their business by the roadside. After two years， we could not express our happiness for our re-meeting.

To conquer the language barrier， I received support and help from many teachers and students of Shandong University. Shandong is the hometown of Confucius. On this piece of land， the polite respect given to teachers， which the Japanese cannot imagine， is still continued. The students stop to say hello to me; the students volunteer to clean the blackboard for me (In Japan， teachers clean the blackboard by themselves after class.); and the students， whoever they are， volunteer to carry my bag for me. I would like to do whatever I can as a Japanese teacher.

One thing makes feel rather sad is at the western gate of the old campus of Shandong University， previously there was a vendor who sold roast cake in the early morning. I don’t know when he disappeared.I miss the former vigorous commercial scene very much.

Jinan， which gives me many warm memories， is the hometown of my heart that will never be forgotten.
