一个访谈节目

最近听了一个访谈节目,The Story采访一位改革开放初期从大陆出来自费留学的女士,如今是家高科技公司的CEO。(节目链接在这里:http://thestory.org/archive/the_story_9 ... u.mp3/view)
这位女士形容,她家文革前比较显赫富裕,她跟着上海的叔叔阿姨(英文分不出是叔叔姑姑还是阿姨舅舅)生长。文革开始时她才8岁,红卫兵把她愣从阿姨手里掰出来,从车窗塞进去南京的火车。到了南京,她父母正被大学里的人拉走去集中营(干校?),她妈妈站在卡车上,跟她遥遥招呼:照顾好你妹妹!她于是当上了4岁妹妹的“妈妈”。姐妹俩住在宿舍里,在走廊里生火做饭(筒子楼?)。同类项的小朋友们曾被拉到大操场上去,亲眼目睹一个人四肢被马拉向不同方向。她自己还被红卫兵强暴过……(was forced to watch the Red Guard tie a kindergarten teacher to four horses. The Guard members--just teenagers themselves--then startled the horses. Ping was forced to watch another teacher be dropped head-first down a dry well. She watched the Red Guard scald her little sister with boiling water because one day Hong made too much noise as she played. Another day, the Red Guard threw Hong into a river for the fun of watching her drown. Ping jumped into the river and dragged her out. The enraged Guard members then beat the girls, and raped Ping.)
70年代末,她上了大学,学文学。因为毕业论文写了中国农村杀死女婴的内容,被秘密逮捕了。80年代初,她被驱逐出境(kicked out of the country),(没说谁)给了一本护照,让永远别回来(was given a passport and told never to come back)。
她身上没带什么钱,跑美国来了。开始学比较文学,后来因为语言跟不上,改学计算机,因为“计算机语言也是语言,我语言能力特强”。跟同学一起写作业,自己的技术不成,就给同学买M&M巧克力豆儿,培养了领导能力。最后,她开了一个搞三维照相的高科技公司。前阵子还去参加了State of the Union。
我听完,觉得这个故事真是某些人心里“美国梦”蓝本里抠出来的。今天在网上一看,呵,到处报道的还真不少呢。搞不好,很快会有人买下版权,拍个电影?!
