半主婦的生活本事

這幾天，和日本友人往來了幾封email，關心他們在地震之後的狀況。

我說，日本人在災後表現出來的紀律與鎮靜讓我印象深刻，我認為他們該為自己感到驕傲。朋友回了我一段話：

“The people in Tohoku region are generally so kinder and more naïve than those who live in a big city like Tokyo, even for me, it is truly heart touching to see how they react to such a sorrowful disaster and how calm they are. Plus, although they lost families or friends, they still appreciate for being saved and try to help others and to live together with all people around them. " 

她告訴我，早上的新聞播出高田市的國中生們製作了大幅的標語海報，上頭寫的是：「加油，高田市！我們該慶幸自己仍然活著。」高田市在這次海嘯當中幾乎被滅，這些孩子們大多失去了親人或朋友，但他們仍然堅強地站起來，並且激勵著身邊的人一起勇敢活下去。

紀律、感恩、與勇氣是日本人在這次浩劫當中教給我(們)的事。
