四年的同事，给我的印象是聪明、活泼、乐观、重情，那时她刚参加工作，前途光明，听她提起过那早恋的爱情故事，浪漫永恒。20余年不通音讯， 没想到如今已英年早逝，很可惜 ，希望她在另一个世界里快乐平安！

词林枝叶三春尽，学海波澜一夜干；风雨已吹蜡烛灭，姓名长在齿牙寒......
鸟啼花落人何在，竹死桐枯凤不来；良马足因无主踠，旧交心为绝弦哀；
九泉莫叹三光隔，又送文星入夜台。

It's been hard bringing myself here to write a tribute, as if it marks my surrender to accepting that you are gone. 晓东阿姨，I keep thinking about when you would drive over 3 hours from Pennsylvania to pick me up from Peddie for thanksgiving at your house, the time you took me to the mall and made sure I had everything ready for my first high school tennis practice, and took me to see Yaya & Yoyo's performance at Chinese school. When I got to the US at the age of 13, you were more than just my mom's best friend, my Godmother and my emergency contact on virtually every form - you made this scary new world a safe place for me to explore, learn and grow. Your kindness, joy and wisdom will always be with us. Rest easy knowing that Yaya & Yoyo are in very good hands and are making you so proud. Miss you.

I read the tributes and stories about you almost everyday. when reading Allies tributes, my eyes are wet. Yesterday when I go out to the garden planning for some vegetable planting, I thought of you. There will be no 冬瓜苗 anymore。 You will be missed by your friends and your family.

It's been two weeks and I'm still in shock. I hate waking up and not being able to look out my bedroom window to see you working in the garden. Every time I walk past your room, I'm still half expecting to hear the whirring of your computers or some podcast in Chinese with jokes that I only half understand. When I go into your room it's cold. It never felt that way when you were here. You were so warm. Like any mother and daughter we argued. We argued a lot but in the end I loved you and you still loved me. It never mattered how mad we were.
I've been wanting to write something but I can never quite find the right words. All of the moments we spent together, I took for granted. I check this page every day, reading every story and trying to engrain every picture of you in my brain. I wish I had a recording of your voice to listen to. I love you, 妈妈.

Xiaodong 阿姨, I am still a little in shock. For as long as I can remember, you have been such a big part of my life. I remember being so happy when you'd come over for dinner, when we'd stay up playing cards and cracking sunflower seeds until my eyes wouldn't stay open. I remember staring with wonder at the gigantic tomatoes you grew in your garden and commenting how your green beans somehow always tasted better than ours. And I remember all the times when you took care of me when I was sick, when my parents were busy and you would be there. Xiaodong 阿姨, you are a part of so many of my memories, from DEFCON to Kalahari, from summer sunrises to winter hotpot. You always treated Lily and I like we were a part of your family, and you were family to us too. I hope you rest well and know that you will be with us, always.

I still keep denying Xiaodong is gone. Xiaodong is a common and the most capable person I have ever met: an affection mom with two lovely kids, an IT security master, a garden expert, a tractor (Chinese card game) wizard, and a Pokémon pro. No matter what she does, she can always do the best. She is a special person who shines and glows briefly in our lives, but will be memorized forever. R.I.P. Xiaodong!

亲爱的晓东， 这些天， 我没法给你写下留言。 因为任何词语都不能表达我对你的不舍和思念。 你是一个平凡的伟大女人，我的百科全书和偶像。怀念我们一起跑步， 一起做月饼， 一起养小鸡，一起抓螃蟹， 一起抓Pokémon, 一起聊天的日子。 这一切仿佛就在昨日， 但现在却那么的遥远…
晓东，一路走好。 希望你在世界的另一边一切安好！永远爱你 ！

纪念未曾谋面的学妹

晓东跟我是在国防科大海外校友群认识的，她大学计算机系88级，小我三届。从不多的发言中，可以感觉到她是一个睿智、爽朗、善解人意和热爱生活的人。印象最深的是她在后院养鸡种菜，其摘瓜蔬捡鸡蛋其乐融融的田园生活让人佩服和羡慕，记得康州383的叶学长还夸过她菜园规划整齐的像电路板。我家每年的感恩节基本都在费城好友家过，所以经常想着要去晓东家参观，可惜每年都有冲突，每年都以为还有下一年，没想到我们今后就再也没机会见面了。。。
人生无常，非常遗憾没有能够真正地认识你。其实脑补过多次我们见面的场景，现在想想忍不住泪眼婆娑了。
Rest In Peace。

那个在长廊尽头读书的女孩
March 22, 2020
我们高中一个班最初有五十多位同学，最少时女生只有八个。温晓冬是其中一位，好像是坐在第一排。晓冬的脱颖而出是在后来的一次考试，她轻而易举地拿了全班前三名。说轻而易举是因为大家看不到她学习有多刻苦努力。那时候的学生生活每天早晨五点多起来跑步做操上自习，白天忙着上课，晚上有晚自习---自己看书学习，有点儿像美国的study hall。10点半晚自习结束以后，很多同学还点上蜡烛，再看一会儿书。晓冬不住校，早自习和晚自习通常是看不到她的。只是在课程紧张的时候，偶尔会看到她站在教室前面长廊的尽头，手里拿着书读。我从走廊经过，有几次注意到在远处读书的她。
高三的一天，班主任把我们俩从教室里叫出去。在办公楼见了国防科大负责山东招生的老师，一位满头白发的离休老干部， 他向我们介绍了计算机系建造当时中国最快的银河机的成就。虽然一起参加座谈的还有其他班的同学，但最终坚持报考国防科大的只有我们两个。高考以后，同学们都轻松了，开始一起玩儿。有一次几位同学聚在一起吃饭，男生都喝了一点酒。散场的时候已经晚上，姜涛坚持要骑车送晓冬回家。我们左等右等姜涛也不回来。第二天传来消息，晓冬和姜涛谈恋爱了。那时晓冬只有15岁。
晓冬、我、还有早一年在科大的一位学长约好一起走。晓冬的父亲陪我们坐汽车到邯郸。然后我们三个乘火车到长沙。那趟火车很拥挤，我们没买到有座位的车票。人和行李都挤在车厢中间狭窄的过道里，晃晃荡荡一直站了十几个小时才到终点。那是我乘火车的经历中最疲劳的一次。晓冬作为一个女孩子，没有显示出一丝我后来所了解的女孩子的柔弱。她一直是一个能坚强前行的人。多年以后，我把晓冬送上从纽约开往普林斯顿的火车，看着她小小的身形和旁边两个大大的行李箱，心中不禁替她作难而又感慨她的坚毅。
晓冬是一个非常聪颖的人，脑筋转得很快。有一次几家人在一起散步，晓冬给我提了一个问题。她说有一座1米长的桥，怎样走直线距离最长。我一时卡住。她欢快地告诉我答案：走对角线。我现在回想起来，清清楚楚记得的是桥和对角线，具体的问题已变得模糊。晓冬向来都不是一个拘泥于寻常答案的人，虽然高中大学研究生一路走来我常常能理解她的想法。只是这一次，她清清楚楚地给我展示了她的回答，却再也没有对我说出她心中的问题。我无能为力，却又妄想早先能做点什么。我缺少勇气去一页一页慢慢翻开三十几年来的记忆，脑海中却不由得浮现出最初一幕那个在长廊尽头站立读书的小姑娘。

终于只能我讲你来听的机会了，你是一个才思敏锐，说话语速极快的人，我最惨的记忆就是92年初去公司报到的时候，绕道长沙去看方哲和你，在你的宿舍，碰到了你的两个好友，胡滔，史媛媛，你们三个伶牙俐齿，每个人都是说话嘎嘣脆，语速极快，说话就像机关枪一样，让我在那里连说话的机会都没有，几乎每讲一句，你们每一个人都有十句以上的话在等着我，以至于到现在都记忆尤新。
不过现在你没有解释的权力，只能听我说：
88年我们高中毕业，高考过后，我们一帮同学跑到油泵厂路南家属院小贾同学亲戚的宿舍里聚会，那是我们同学的第一次聚会，喝了不少啤酒，大家边喝边聊，到结束的时候，已经是深夜，姜涛同学自报奋勇去送你回家，我们一帮弟兄在那里左等右等，后来都睡着了，也不知道姜涛是几点钟回来的。事后大家自是拿着姜涛取笑一番，然后各自散去，以为什么事都不会发生。
没成想，过了几天，大中午，谢晓冰跑到我家递给我你写的一封信，她告诉我说，她去你们家找你玩的时候，你悄悄地递给她的，说是你爸爸特别生气，把你关在家里不让你出门。打开一看，几颗斗大的字，写着：快来救救我，要不然我和你二弟就完了！（虽然我们家后来几次搬家，这封信竟然和我其他的一些书信都被我的父母保留下来，我曾经开玩笑说，将来要拍卖这封信...）
看完之后，我赶紧骑车到红旗小学你家去认错，那天，在那个小院子里，你爸坐在小凳子上，我在那里傻傻地站着，被你爸训了将近两个小时，我一再承认，是我组织的活动，玩的太晚了，忘了时间，保证以后不再这样了，如何如何，曾经在我心目中和蔼可亲的叔叔就那样变成了凶神恶煞，以至于现在我见了他还是心惊胆颤...那时你十五，姜涛十八...
晓燕姐说，你15岁谈恋爱，一生只爱一个人，希望这份感情能陪你走一生..
那时候，老哥哥年轻，可以去替你们抗雷。现在你说，这么大的雷，你让老哥哥怎么抗？！
再一个，你还来参加拍卖你的这封信吗？疫情过后我回国的时候，把它烧了吧！怎样？
