陳蕾士老師與世長辭了,中化中學高中第六屆畢業同學深深懷念他。
約50年前,陳蕾士是我們在中化中學高中時期的文史老師。兩年前,第六屆同學與陳老師重續前緣。
農曆新年間,同學到陳蕾士老師府上拜年,到馬六甲餐館進餐敘舊。2008年3月底,陳蕾士老師欣然接受邀請,到馬六甲A'Famosa度假村參加第六屆同學的大團聚盛會,並在會上發表談話,與前學生度過歡愉的一天。
此情此景還歷歷在目,但陳老師已蒙主召恩。僅此重新編輯和張貼這段時期陳老師與第六屆同學往來的記錄,以表懷念。
以下是2008年初寫的陳蕾士老師與第六屆同學往來的報導:
中化中學1961年高中畢業同學到陳蕾士老師(右四)家中拜年。
年初二,來自吉隆坡、麻坡、新山和馬六甲的一批老同學前往馬六甲向91歲的陳蕾士老師拜年。
麻坡中化中學第六屆高中畢業(1961年)同學決定於今年3月30日在馬六甲 A Famosa度假村舉行大團聚。這項離校47年的老同學大團聚活動,不僅是為促進老同學的情誼,同時也要發揚華族傳統的價值觀──尊師重道。
我們一行 9 人不只向陳老師拜年,同時也邀請陳蕾士老師出席3月30日在馬六甲 A Famosa度假村的大團聚。陳老師欣然接受我們的邀請,準備到A Famosa度假村與前學生歡聚一堂。
他說,能見到以前的學生,能與以前的同事朋友見面相聚,當然高興。
不過,他有心無力,無法接受在現場演古箏或當場揮毫寫對聯的要求。他說,已經91歲了,手乏力,反應慢,彈不出好樂曲,寫不出好字。
在新加坡的徐其禮校長和林鴻圖校長也接受邀請。徐其禮是1958年我們這批學生初中三年級畢業時的校長。林鴻圖是1961年我們高中畢業時的中化中學校長。
陳蕾士老師記得徐其禮校長和林鴻圖校長,並期待到時與他們相聚敘舊。
陳老師說,在他年屆七十古稀後,他就少出外應酬,因為他的時間己有限,十分珍貴。他喜歡靜,喜歡留在家中看書。他說,年歲大了,看書的體會與年輕時有很大的不同。
陳老師感嘆地說,他現在的問題是〞耳不聰,目不明,己經是不聰又不明了〞。其實雖然他的聽覺欠佳,眼力不很好,但他的思維很清晰,說話條理分明,還是出口成章。細心聽他的言談,話中常含有人生哲理,同時遣詞用字具有詩詞的格調。
拜訪陳老師的幾位同學是來自吉隆坡的雷大慶夫婦、鄭昭賢夫婦,馬六甲的田春香與先生,來自新山的林清泉夫婦和麻坡的邱文強同學。
過後我們請陳老師與我們一起到古城餐館撈生進餐,陳老師持手杖同行,步履雖慢,但還穩健。

Chow Sien,
This is a very well presented blog for us of the CHHS 1961 Senior Middle III Classes, in pictures and words. I don't know if there is another similar one by others comparable to this in quality and frequency.
Congratulations again CH for a good job well done. Dedicated people like you give us a strong feeling of a big family, especially when we are all in our 60s.
Like many others, I felt very touched by the presence of our old headmasters Mr.Shee and Mr.Lim and teacher Louise Chen.
To realise that they at their high ages and the distance had responded to our invitation without hesitation sometimes moves us to tears.
They are great headmasters and teacher who have cared for us, we shall always remember that.
I was also moved by Chong Chit Ling and his family who brought him from Bahau to join us. I hope his attendance have given him more hope and will to prevail over his illness.
Chit Ling now knows for sure he is not alone, we are with him.
We hope after so many years, what we have accomplished in our life time has not let down our headmasters and teacher.
Life had not been easy for us as graduates of a Chineses high school and later an unrecognised university.
But many of us refused to succcumb to the realities and strove to change the course of our fate.
To trudge along this long and difficullt path of our life we drew inspiration and spirit from the teachings we received from our teachers and headmasters.
Thank you Sirs.
Last but not least, we were lucky to have a schoolmate like Datuk Lau Choon Guan, who was so generous to provide us with such excellant food and drinks and accommodation, without which this historical event would not have been possible.
Aslo thank you all, especially Hong Hee, Chow Sien, Boon Chiang and many others for your sacrifice and hard work behind the scene.
