萬里望 - Menglembu-1958年
老照片背后的故事
照片后面有铅笔留下的日期 22.8.58
这些青春姑娘们是万华小学第十四届高小毕业生。照片里有姐姐和她同班同学们在校园内五十七年前拍下的留念照。
剧台上打着布条‘ 第十四届高小毕业典礼’，那位穿着白色长袖衬衫女扮男生是大姐。和她同年一起在万华小学读书有位表姐。她站在舞台剧照片下面张照片的左二，咱们叫她丽姐，是三姑母的第二女儿。在这张照片大姐是站在左三，笑嘻嘻的面向着右边。
念小学一年级时有一天家人急着来到学校带大姐和丽姐赶回家去， 因为二伯婆去世了。那个年头因该是一九五三年。
万华小学培育了咱们这一代多位表哥表姐堂哥堂姐大姐哥哥们。万华小学同样的也是万里望市镇居民的启蒙首选。
矩形的学校位置于市镇北区，正门面对着戏院街头，后院一直延展到已近一百二十多年的观音庙的后方。
咱们老家靠近校园的后院。越过大马路靠着观音庙旁边的一条小径路，两三步脚就是校园右边的后门。这个门很方便居住在南区的学生，早晚上下班。他们从南区居住的家园过了马路，路过咱们的老宅就可通过着个后门往进校园。
万华校园内在初建有教师们的宿舍。宿舍建在校园的后院，向着咱们家的后门进去就是校宿了。宿舍是排屋式单位，租给教师家庭居住，约有十五六间，分成两行四排。
记得玉玲表姐庆文哥和他们两个小孩六十年代后期在宿舍住过一短暂时间。过后不久宿舍就拆了。
玉玲表姐是大姑母的长女，庆文哥是万华校学老师。他们结婚于一九六O年。庆文哥的老师是大姐郑家的二叔公。
回想起来万华校学和咱们家族是在万里望开埠一起成长的。妈妈的小学，如果没记错是民德学堂 （或明德），地址位于街场未，堂姑母树料棚的对面。后来那里办了教会。民德学堂应该是万华小学的前身。
万华学校建校于一九一四年。祖辈们最早来到万里望时，应该是在一九OO年初。母亲生于一九二二年，她进学的三O年代，学校已开办了十五年多。
从咱们老家可听到学校的上下班的钟声，下午班的朗读声音。
放学下班时知道那位穿着旗袍，稍微肥胖的女士是四哥一年级班主任。听大人说四哥开学时常常见不到亲人在旁就会哭。哭起来了赖老师会很有耐心，细声细语劝他不要哭。
平时校园的后门到六点多。饭后姐姐过来时就会带着不到一两岁的侄儿侄女们到校园去散步。
‘草原之夜’， 那‘来来来 -- ’的歌声像似昨夜刚从耳边飘过。
学校的礼堂在六O年代举办了歌唱比赛。达人歌手们最常选唱的是类似‘草原之夜’难度比较高的歌。时而在周六晚上礼堂也有播放电影。那入场票比对面的电影院来的便宜。
群体的‘饮胜’声音随着随而着来。
在礼堂出席过好几次喜宴，一九七五年二哥的婚宴，之前堂兄的婚宴也在校园礼堂摆了几十台酒席。
虽然自己不成念过万华小学，但是校园的故事，声音陪伴着自己在家乡的成长。
祝愿 万华学校万里常青 ，学业前进，未来的下个百年继续培育万里望年轻一代。
Wan Hua Primary School in Menglembu celebrated the centennial in October 2014. The Chinese medium school is an integral part of the memory of the residents of Menglembu. This article recorded the events connected with the school in the 1960's and 70's. As it's a Chinese medium school, the article is written in Chinese, however broken it is.
The photographs were taken in 1958. They were of my sister and her classmates.
Sister acted in the stage drama in the 14th primary graduating class that year。She was in a long white sleeve shirt, make-up as a young guy.
In the photographs taken at the school garden, was cousin Li, the 2nd daughter of 3rd aunt. She is of same age as sister, and they were together in same class.
Many of our cousins, and my siblings had their primary education in this school.
The hubby of a cousin Yoke Lin was a teacher in the school, and they stayed at the school quarters for a while with their two young kids in the late sixties.
There were talent time contests, weekend cinemas and wedding dinners at the school hall. There were remedial Malay lessons in the evening which I attended, and these were some of the memories of the school.

Our old house was located close to the school. There was a side gate at the backyard. Many of the school children who lived in the south Regrouping Area would pass by our house on their way to and from school, using this back gate...
