今生最美是晚晴

—访Dan Preston俞少华夫妇

　 采访俞少华，预约了几次，都没有约到她。因为近期移民法不断改革，她作为纽泽西律师楼的移民部主任，自然是忙得不可开交。可是我没有放弃这个采访，直觉告诉我，她和她丈夫，是很值得一访的夫妇。于是，我又一次和她约定访问。

　　我们约在一个黄昏见面，到她的办公室。终于，在洒满夕阳的会客室里，我见到了高大和善的Dan Preston，还有面带幸福笑容的俞少华。他们带着感情，在诉说他们的故事，我带着感动，在倾听他们的故事……

海峡那边有至亲

　　俞少华的老家在浙江黄岩。她的父亲是当年黄埔军校的一员，抗战末期，她父亲奉命调职台湾，成为当年由国民党执政的警察大队副队长。

　　俞少华有两位母亲，一位是父亲在黄岩乡下的原配夫人，一位就是她的亲生母亲。她的生母是一位美术老师，与父亲相识后心有灵犀，结为夫妇。在俞少华还没有出生之前，她的父亲与原配生有一个三代单传的儿子，与她的生母生有一个女儿。

　　俞父调职台湾后，日夜思念在大陆的妻儿，频频发电报回大陆催他们过来团聚，可是俞少华的祖母为了让儿子惦记着大陆的亲情，早日完成任务回大陆和亲人团聚，把俞少华的大妈妈以及俞少华的同胞姐姐留在了黄岩，只让她的生母带着同父异母的哥哥奔赴台湾。

　　俞父到了台湾后公务繁忙，顾不上家事，甚至连临盆的妻子都无法照顾。1947年，在一个战火纷飞的夜晚，俞少华的母亲在医院生下了她。

　　俞少华呱呱坠地了，在她出生的啼哭里，就带有很多的委屈，也伴随着许多孤独，因为父亲和姐姐都不在身边。而且，她至今都没有见过她的姐姐。

　　四十年之后，海峡的另一边传来了消息。俞少华的大妈妈后来因为生活所迫改了嫁，她的同胞姐姐也被送了人，在十五、六岁时嫁给了一个贫穷的农民，之后就没有音讯了。

眷恋诗情与画意

　　因为父亲的身份，俞少华一生下来就过着富裕的生活，她的童年是美好的。但是，人生无常。俞少华少女时代，俞父在政界纷争中陷于落败之境，家道中落，俞少华举家从花园洋房搬到了简陋的政府宿舍。

　　雪上加霜，俞父在此时又染上了肺疾，家中一时陷入了贫困。可是，在善良的母亲培育下，俞少华和妹妹读书勤奋，品学兼优，多愁善感的俞少华更是文静乖巧。

　　与其说文静不如说是沉默，俞少华尽管年少，但是家庭经历让她不爱合群，总是独自站在一旁看同龄人嬉戏。她惟一的寄托，就是古诗词和绘画。在台湾第一女中就读时，俞少华的国文成绩是一流的，常常让老师欣喜。古典文学更是俞少华的最爱，唐诗宋词她可以信口背诵。

　　她喜欢古诗，古诗可以带她一道游历她没有去过的大陆，游历中国文化。俞少华还有极高的绘画天赋，这来自遗传。俞少华的外祖父是宁波知名的画家和书法家，其母亲婚前婚后都一直是美术教师。

　　少女时代的俞少华，就这样和诗情画意为伴，以致于她在别人眼里，除了内秀，还具有诗情画意一般美丽的外表。

历练华美成大业

　　因为俞少华得天独厚的文学功底，加上她很用功苦读，因此她在读大学时每年都考得第一名。1969年，俞少华又以第一名的成绩，毕业于辅仁大学法律系。

　　毕业后，俞少华被法学院院长留任助教，并担任院长秘书一职。在别人看来，这是一份很好的工作。但是这份工作薪水微薄，而俞少华的父亲病重需要钱来医治。为了改变家庭经济状况，俞少华担当起责任，辞掉大学工作去挣钱，先后去过两家公司任职。

　　1972年，俞少华以优异的成绩考入了华美建设公司。华美是当时台湾第一家建造高层建筑的公司，人人都梦想进入那里工作，而俞少华则力排竞争者，赢得了这个机会。俞少华是个懂得珍惜的人，进入美华之后，她积极认真地工作，有一股拼命三郎的精神，公司的董事长非常赏识她。

　　在俞少华28岁那年，她荣升为总管理处副处长。俞少华上头没有处长，因为她年轻，董事长在处长前面加了个“副”字，让她继续历练，但是她享受的是正处的待遇，这在25年前的台湾，不是一件寻常的事，曾经轰动一时，大家都很钦佩这位年轻的“副座”。

　　凭借公司上层的信任，俞少华周旋于十四家公司的总经理及高层之间，工作开展得很好，如鱼得水。由于业务需要，她经常远赴日本、韩国、香港、美国出差，所到之处人人都把她当作贵宾一样，俞少华以事业的成功赢得了别人的敬重。

携幼女闯荡美国

　　俞少华的事业是成功的，但是上天并没有让她的人生完美，也许上天认为，她还应该经历更多的磨难。

　　28岁那年，是俞少华的事业巅峰期，也是她人生不幸的开始。那一年，她结婚了，嫁给了一个她不了解的男人，结婚才两个月，婚姻就触礁了。俞少华是一个自尊的女人，矛盾发生不久，她就怀着孩子离开了原本以为会给她带来幸福的婚姻。

　　1976年，俞父病故，怀有身孕的俞少华悲痛欲绝。有死亡就有新生，同年九月，俞少华的女儿宝贝（小名）降生了。在医院里，俞少华独自一人面对孩子的降临，心里的痛，比阵痛的痛，更加强烈。好在她那善解人意的母亲，一直在陪伴她，让她在巨痛之后略有安慰。

　　俞少华坚强地面对生活，独自抚养幼女，但是心灵的伤痛，还是无法消逝，因为还需要很多的时间。她心灰意冷时，产生了一个强烈的念头：离开台湾这片伤心之地。

　　1980年，俞少华告别了亲朋好友，告别了不舍得她离开的美华上下级的员工，携带三岁的幼女，和母亲一起提着简单的行李，来到了美国洛杉机。

　　1982年，俞少华凭着自己的法律系毕业资历，找到了来美国后的第一份工作，担任一家律师事务所的法律助理，生活渐渐有所安稳。

　　似乎动荡，总是和俞少华不离不弃，刚刚安稳不久，生活又开始发生变故。俞少华在新泽西的妹妹病了，需要母亲照顾，俞少华为了妹妹不得不辞掉工作，和母亲一起来到新泽西州。临离开洛杉机前，俞少华发出了一批求职信，幸运地得到了几个面试的机会。

　　她选择了纽约中国城的一家律师事务所。俞少华依旧是那样勤奋、努力，工作很出色，又一次赢得老板的赏识。但是，她在生活中面临的困难更多了。她每天早出晚归在新泽西和纽约之间，来回要经历三个多小时的汽车、火车颠簸，很劳累。再者没有父亲的女儿又成天见不到母亲，很不快乐。

　　最痛苦的是大雪纷飞的冬天。俞少华艰难地行走在雪地里时，身体是疲惫的，内心是孤独的，还带着对女儿的愧疚。当大雪大雨飘在她的脸上时，她分不清是雨水还是泪水。

　

亲和精干的律师

　　朋友们很佩服俞少华，也很同情俞少华，都希望她结束这种身心疲惫的日子。一天，一个朋友告诉她，应该在新泽西找工作，并拿出了一份中文报纸，说Piscataway有一家美国人开的律师楼在刊登广告。俞少华决定去试试。

　　1987年2月，俞少华带着履历表，毛遂自荐敲开了纽泽西律师楼的大门。当时的律师楼有22位律师、50多名员工。老板鲁彬很有远见，认为新泽西会有越来越多的中国人移民，应该在新泽西聘请中国籍律师。有了中国籍律师为华人服务，华人办理移民就不需要远道跑到纽约去了，在新泽西就可以避免语言障碍。

　　俞少华的履历和老板的远见，让俞少华在新泽西拥有了一份喜欢的工作。这一干就干到了今天，有整整20年了。如今，她已经是纽泽西律师楼的移民部主任。

　　这20年间，移民法变化很大，法律及申请方式也一改再改，工作量很大。律师工作很辛苦，也富有挑战性，还常常伴随挫败。但是多年以来，俞少华认真对待每一个案子，遇到很难的案子时，也很想放弃，但是她没有这样做。她想，客人将自己以及家人的命运放到了自己的手上，把希望放到了自己的手上，不可以轻易让他们失望。就这样，她帮助很多的中国人实现了自己的愿望。

　　作为律师，俞少华是成功的，但是作为母亲，俞少华觉得自己是失败的。

迟来爱情更醇美

　　她的女儿宝贝，在不知不觉中长大了。在她成长的过程中，她面对的母亲，总是日夜埋头工作，没有时间陪她一起玩，她的年龄让她无法理解母亲这样做，全是为了她。她的抚养费读书费，只有母亲一个人承担啊！

　　在13岁到15岁之间，宝贝在她和母亲之间高高筑起了一道墙：她拒绝和母亲交流。幸运的是，宝贝和母亲一样聪慧，一样杰出，她赢得了13次辩论比赛的桂冠，顺利进入常春藤大学——宾州大学。毕业后，宝贝被旧金山一家电脑公司网罗，到那里去工作了。

　　宝贝也早已拆掉和母亲之间的墙，和母亲相亲相爱至今。学会爱别人，一定是被爱自己的人感动了。点醒宝贝的“引路人”，就是她的美国父亲Dan Preston。

　　在宝贝封闭自己的孤独的日子里，是Dan Preston，用语言开导了她，用父爱感动了她。在宝贝心里，Dan Preston是世界上最好的父亲。

　　Dan Preston，就是俞少华现在的丈夫。

　　Dan Preston 的老板是俞少华的客户兼朋友。于是1994年，俞少华认识了待人真诚的富有爱心的 Dan Preston。Dan Preston是美国人，可一直在为一家台湾公司工作，接触了很多的中国人，对中国人很有好感。他是一个精密机械的销售经理，感情很细腻，他感觉到自己和俞少华有很多共同点，都需要关爱。

　　和俞少华更近似的，是Dan Preston也是一位单身父亲，带着一位和宝贝年龄相仿的女儿。共同的不幸让他们走近了，他们都很珍惜这份迟来的爱情，最后走向了结婚的殿堂。

满山秋色作厚礼

　　认识Dan之后的第一个生日，令俞少华至今难忘。那一天，Dan送给了俞少华一份特殊的生日礼物：带她到麻省看红叶。

　　红叶的美丽和壮观，让俞少华忘掉了从前的不幸，在心里许下承诺，要珍惜未来的生活。这一天，她露出了和从前一样美丽的笑容，又开始充满诗情画意。她告诉Dan，中国人在诗词里是这样来形容眼前的景色的，那就是：满山秋色。

　　细心的Dan记住了俞少华的每一句话。旅行回家，他请一位中国书法家写了一幅字“满山秋色”。当他把这幅字送给俞少华时，俞少华被深深感动了。她深知，Dan就是自己等待了很久的缘份。

有爱就会有惊喜

　　在与Dan生活的日子里，俞少华常常有很多的惊喜，那都是丈夫为她制造的。

　　Dan知道妻子是一位喜欢水的人，因为每次看到水，妻子都会很高兴。于是，在俞少华50岁生日时，Dan带上她去纽约北部的旖色佳，一天观赏了15个瀑布。

　　那时正好是2月，冰天雪地的，瀑布都结成了冰帘，非常美丽壮观。而俞少华的内心，却被爱融化了，犹如一潭温泉一般。

　　俞少华爱好绘画，也喜欢欣赏画。Dan非常支持妻子的爱好，不时还弄一些画回来送给妻子。妻子每一个欢喜的笑容，都会给Dan带来快乐。

　　Dan的老家在宾州，他按照中国人“落叶归根”的心态，在宾州买了一套房子，准备等俞少华退休后到那里去住。俞少华给这套房子起了一个中国名字：晚晴居。从这三个字中，就可以想象，他们的晚年，一定会很晴朗，很快乐。

我的心理学硕士

　　在俞少华眼里，Dan是善良的，就是对待小动物，他都会小心翼翼的，很认真。他常常去喂动物，和动物说话，他认为它们是听得懂的。Dan认为，交流可以给人带来快乐，也可以为人消除烦恼。

　　以前，俞少华没有时间去关注小动物，和Dan在一起后，在他的感染下，她开始关注他喜欢的一切，还帮Dan一起养狗。他们的家里有两条狗，是朋友送的礼物，从来不养狗的俞少华，为了丈夫的喜好，精心喂养它们。俞少华说，Dan还是一个半职牧师，常常在业余时间为大家做事情，他乐在其中。

　　Dan尽管做了很多年的精密仪器销售工作，但是爱好却很不沾边，他喜欢做心理咨询工作。俞少华深知丈夫的心，也支持他去圆自己的梦。在妻子的支持下，Dan苦读三年，终于在今年六月获得了心理学硕士学位。

　　在丈夫的毕业典礼上，俞少华比Dan还要快乐，她为自己的丈夫感到自豪。

　　Dan Preston和妻子俞少华对未来的生活有着很多美好的设想。他会在做心理咨询师之余，陪伴妻子画画、写作、旅游。她会在闲暇的时光里陪伴丈夫做他最喜欢的事。他们还有一个共同的愿望，那就是：将来，等他们离开人世之后，要一起埋在教会的玫瑰花下，永远地长久地陪伴在一起，为活着的人们祈祷平安，祈祷幸福。
