我是地地道道的溫州人

瞿冬生

溫州永嘉，曲水流觴，群賢畢至。

在中國山水詩楠溪雅集中，我國著名表演藝術家瞿弦和壓軸登場，以他獨有的聲線深情朗誦了千古名篇《蘭亭序》：“此地有崇山峻嶺，茂林修竹，又有清流激湍，映帶左右，引以為流觴曲水，列坐其次……”醉倒了現場的觀眾。

為參加此次雅集，瞿弦和特意更改了在北京演出的檔期，風塵仆仆趕回家鄉義務獻演。他說：“因為這是家鄉在召喚。”

一

瞿弦和的父親叫瞿良，是地道的溫州人，母親是嘉興人。瞿弦和自豪地說：“我是地地道道的溫州人。”

瞿弦和的父親是早期的革命者，參加過八一南昌起義，時任教導團的教導員，曾在寧波等地做過黨的地下工作，有著難忘的革命經歷，當年與組織失去聯系，流亡海外……

瞿弦和出生在印度尼西亞蘇門答臘島。當時他父母在東南亞教書。父親是數學老師，母親是體育老師。他在新加坡上完小學一年級，于1950年隨父母回到祖國。回國后，周恩來總理親自介紹他父親到北京地安門中學任教。

那時，瞿弦和還有一位伯伯、四位姨媽在老家，可他一直沒有機會到溫州。提起父親，瞿弦和動情地說：“爸爸很低調，很少講自己年輕時的事。實際上，他的經歷是很了不起的！原來我也不清楚這些，爸爸去世以后，我在整理東西的時候，才發現了爸爸的手稿——《憶八一》，文章的內容是講教導團在起義前接受訓練，朱德給他們講課，還有在戰場上的回憶。文章是1956年南昌起義紀念日寫的。2007年我提供給《人民日報》，發表在8月3日《人民日報》大地副刊上。”

如果說瞿弦和的父親有著傳奇般的人生經歷，那么他本人的經歷則堪稱精彩——

1965年畢業于中央戲劇學院表演系，國家一級演員，擔任了近30年的中國煤礦文工團團長，連續擔任四屆全國政協委員，目前仍擔任中國詩歌學會朗誦演唱專業委員會主任、中國戲劇家協會顧問、中國煤礦文工團名譽團長。他曾常年在電臺、電視臺擔任小說連播、配樂散文、詩朗誦等工作，為數百部（集）譯制片主要人物配音。因此即使不知道他的人，也聽過他的聲音。過去，煤礦文工團每年下礦慰問演出不少于百場，雖然路途遙遠、條件艱苦，但他幾乎全都參加。

故鄉溫州對于多才多藝的瞿弦和來說，在很長一段時間里是既熟悉又陌生。瞿弦和說：“那時，溫州不通火車，爸爸回溫州探親，都要從金華換乘汽車。溫州在我的腦海中是那么遙遠。爸爸講溫州話就像說外語，我纏著他教我說一句，他笑著說‘玉茭沒炸過（溫州沒走過）。”

《人民日報》海外版曾刊文介紹瞿弦和時用的標題是《沒有到過溫州的溫州人》。1998年的6月，我國第一條合資鐵路——金溫鐵路通車慶典組織者找到瞿弦和，問他能不能和夫人一起到溫州主持通車儀式。他當即答應：“可以啊！”于是，他借著金溫鐵路通車的東風，第一次回到了家鄉。

在通車慶典晚會上，瞿弦和大膽地說出唯一學過的那句溫州話，結果引發全場爆笑。但他說：“不管怎樣，我終于回到了家鄉！”此后，他多次帶團到溫州演出，回鄉省親。

2008年11月8日，“輝煌30年——第二屆世界溫州人大會大型文藝晚會”在溫州體育中心舉行，瞿弦和朗誦詩歌，詩中一句“連鳥都不飛的地方，也有溫州人”至今令他難忘。

2013年12月，溫州大劇院舉行的“尋找城市千年記憶”大型音樂詩歌朗誦會，瞿弦和朗誦了朱自清的名篇《綠》，博得了陣陣喝彩。

也許會讓人感到意外，方言色彩突出的溫州，在朗誦藝術領域卻有著驕人的業績。近年來，在全國各類朗誦大賽中，都有溫州青少年闖進決賽。中國詩歌學會朗誦演唱專業委員會曾授予溫州的江心嶼為“朗誦藝術基地”稱號。溫州朗誦學會會長王麗說：“溫州朗誦水平不斷提升，11個縣（市、區）都成立了朗誦學會，這與瞿弦和老師的幫助、支持是分不開的。”

溫州，不僅商賈云集，而且文藝人才輩出。說起文藝界的溫州人，瞿弦和如數家珍——“民族唱法男高音歌唱家姜嘉鏘、美聲女高音歌唱家夏陽、通俗歌唱家白雪都是溫州人。舞蹈更是溫州的強項，舞蹈家黃豆豆家喻戶曉，我在中國煤礦文工團任職時接收的三位北京舞蹈學院優秀畢業生翁林婕、張悅、陳苾也是溫州姑娘。”

瞿弦和在《溫州日報》“文化名人看溫州”里這樣寫道：“自豪吧，溫州人。我今年已經74歲啦，看到那么多溫州人馳騁在國家級文藝團體中真感到驕傲，中國歌劇舞劇院優秀打擊樂女演奏家張曉靈、北京歌舞劇院女舞蹈家翁笑笑、甌劇藝術研究院榮獲中國戲劇最高獎梅花獎的方汝將，就連浙江省朗誦學會的秘書長謝貝妮也是咱們溫州樂清人啊！”

如今，瞿弦和回家鄉的次數越來越多了，每次他都會到侄子瞿昌林的酒店“美樂食街”品嘗家鄉獨特的三絲敲魚、魚圓、鴨舌、花蚶，愜意地說：“好爽啊！”

瞿弦和說：“我熱愛溫州，依戀溫州，我為溫州自豪。溫州人有著勤勞、團結的美德，不僅如此，溫州還有著豐厚的文化底蘊……”這位長年在外的溫州人，總是以溫州為榮;同樣，溫州人也以瞿弦和為榮。

Qu Xianhe and His ? Hometown Wenzhou

By Qu Dongsheng

Nostalgia is a beautiful thing， but it can be transformed into something even more beautiful， as we learned recently after our encounter with Qu Xianhe， whose voice art， dedication and blazing love and passion elevates his hometown， Wenzhou， into the highest leagues of Chinas cultural hall of fame. Qu Xianhe is best known for his recitals of ancient poems. Millions in China have heard him cite ancient poems in unexpectedly beautiful ways.

“Here are gathered all the illustrious persons and assembled both the old and the young. Here are tall mountains and majestic peaks， trees with thick foliage and tall， refreshing bamboos. Here are also clear streams and gurgling rapids. …”

When immersing himself in the soothing， solemn atmosphere of a grand literati gathering held in his hometown， Wenzhou， on October 21， 2018， Qu Xianhe saw his long-cherished wish come true. The performing artists recitation of ， an essay penned by Chinas greatest calligrapher Wang Xizhi （303-361）， put a perfect finale to the autumnal outing set in the mesmerizing beauty of the Nanxi River. Qus recital was witnessed by the local audience as well as about 150 journalists from across China.

For the Wenzhou gathering， Qu Xianhe had rescheduled his work in Beijing and came all the way down to Wenzhou to appear as a guest performer for free. “It felt like a call from my hometown， where my heart and soul forever belong， and I felt like I was here after a long journey that took a whole lifetime，” Qu Xianhe recalls.

Qus father， Qu Liang， was born in Wenzhou. His mother was from Jiaxing， a city in northern Zhejiang. “I knew my ancestral roots were in Zhejiang when I was a little boy，” Qu Xianhe shares.

“My father talked little about his younger， stormy years， and it was not until after he passed away that I managed to piece together the jigsaw puzzle of his life. He was a great man and a dedicated revolutionist， an unsung hero who took part in the Nanchang Uprising in 1927 and many other lofty causes.”

Qu Xianhe was born in 1944 in Indonesia， where his parents made a living as teachers. The family moved back to China in 1950， when Qu Xianhe had just finished his first year in grade school. The family lived peacefully in Beijing， with his father teaching at the Dianmen Middle School.

Qu Xianhe graduated from the Department of Performing Arts of the Central Drama Academy in 1965. Over the next three decades， he held many important positions including the director of China Coal Mine Art Troupe， contributing his voice talent to radio stations and TV and dubbing for more than a hundred films.

For Qu Xianhe， who calls himself “son of Wenzhou”， his hometown is a familiar stranger. “My craving for Wenzhou was so strong that every time my father spoke the Wenzhou dialect Id pester him to speak more. How I wished I could see Wenzhou with my own eyes someday.”

Qus first visit to what he calls “hometown” was in June of 1998. That year， he and his wife took part in the opening ceremony of the Jinhua-Wenzhou Railway， the first railway to link Wenzhou with the outside world. Since then， he has taken every opportunity to revisit Wenzhou.

At the 2nd World Wenzhounese Extravaganza held at the Wenzhou Sports Center on November 8， 2008， Qu Xianhe expressed his profound love for his hometown again. When he recited “Where even birds are nowhere to see， there are Wenzhounese”， tears blurred his eyes. It was one of his most unforgettable shows.

Qu Xianhe was in Wenzhou again in the winter of 2013 to take part in a music and poet recitation gathering staged at the Wenzhou Grand Theatre.

Wenzhounese have long been a leader in Chinas performing art， standing out in various national competitions. Qu Xianhe is one of the most dazzling stars and an outstanding contributor and promoter behind the unfailing vigor of the performing artist community of Wenzhou. “Wenzhou produced a galaxy of world-class performing artists， as represented by soprano Xia Yang and a group of award-winning dancers including Huang Doudou， the greatest dancer ever produced by Wenzhou.” Qu Xianhe shares， his eyes shining with pride.

In 2018， Qu Xianhe shared his love and nostalgia for his hometown again in an article written for Wenzhou Daily in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Chinas reform and open-up to the outside world. “All people from Wenzhou have a thousand reasons to feel proud. At the age of 74， I am happy to see the emerging power of so many young Wenzhounese bringing new colors and diversity to the stage of the countrys performing arts.”

Every time Qu Xianhe is back in Wenzhou， he visits his nephews restaurant to indulge himself in authentic local cuisine. He likens himself to a child coming back home to rediscover the joy of grandmas cooking.

“I love Wenzhou so much that it has become a complex for me; it is beyond description，” enthuses Qu Xianhe.
