去年5月3日，一位在美國留學(xué)的年輕中國學(xué)生，在一起嚴(yán)重的車禍中不幸喪生…
他叫段夫，是這起車禍?zhǔn)录械氖芎φ?，是被酒駕的對方撞死的!可由于他駕駛的是一輛法拉利跑車，一些機(jī)警的網(wǎng)絡(luò)媒體竟迅速抓住這一點(diǎn)開始炒作，給這名不幸的年輕人打上了“富二代”、“炫富”等標(biāo)簽，然后坐看一群網(wǎng)絡(luò)暴民對他展開人身攻擊…
后來，一些媒體對此事進(jìn)行了澄清性報(bào)道，段夫的親朋也站出來為他辯護(hù)，說他是個(gè)謙虛懂事的人，只是喜歡車;而僅僅因?yàn)樗_了輛跑車，就給他扣帽子，侮辱攻擊他，是無知和愚昧的表現(xiàn)。
然而，這些聲音很快又被網(wǎng)上更多的臟話和人身攻擊蓋了過去，他們偏執(zhí)的認(rèn)為，這些聲音，不過是富二代的父母花錢買了水軍和媒體，在制造孩子無辜的輿論。
如今，1年過去了。當(dāng)曾經(jīng)蹂躪段夫父母和親朋的網(wǎng)絡(luò)仇富心態(tài)，仍在不斷尋找下一個(gè)受害者時(shí)，我們卻收到了一封來自美國的來信……
這封信，是段夫當(dāng)年就讀的美國“帕薩迪納城市學(xué)院”的老師Bennet Tchaikovsky寫來的。
以下是這封信的全文：
你好，
去年5月，貴報(bào)英文版報(bào)道了一篇新聞，說的是一位名叫段夫的中國留學(xué)生，在駕駛一輛法拉利跑車出行時(shí)，被另一位酒后駕車的司機(jī)撞上，不幸身亡。
如今他離世已經(jīng)一年了。我想告訴你們一些關(guān)于他的往事，好讓人們可以從一個(gè)不同的角度去認(rèn)識段夫。段夫是我在帕薩迪納城市學(xué)院任教時(shí)曾經(jīng)教過的一名學(xué)生，卻給我留下了非常深刻的印象。我還希望貴報(bào)能把我下面這篇小短文，分享給你們的讀者——
一年前，一位名叫段夫的中國交換生學(xué)生，在美國街頭駕駛一輛嶄新的法拉利跑車出行時(shí)，被一起突如其來的車禍奪取了生命。至今，許多人仍然認(rèn)為他又是一個(gè)步入歧途的中國富二代。但我想與這些人分享一些我與他相處的經(jīng)歷。
那是2014年的春季學(xué)期，當(dāng)時(shí)我是他的老師。我每個(gè)學(xué)期要教導(dǎo)200多名學(xué)生，所以記住他們每一個(gè)人，對我來說是件挺困難的事情。但段夫卻與眾不同。
在那個(gè)學(xué)期的期中考試后，他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的成績是B，于是他竟專門找到我，詢問如何才能提高成績。之后，他通過不斷努力的學(xué)習(xí)，在第五次的考試中終于取得了A的成績。可不幸的是，他卻在期末考試前幾天突然就出事了，再也無法在最終的考試中取得他所希望的成績…然而，他的勤奮卻令我難以忘記。
我曾經(jīng)用激將法挑戰(zhàn)我9歲的兒子，說如果他能在考試中取得好成績，我就帶他去旅行。然而他卻失敗了。當(dāng)時(shí)，我像很多家長那樣，想給孩子第二次機(jī)會。但我最終沒有那么做，而是給孩子講了段夫的故事，告訴他人只有勤奮才可以獲得成功。
因此，我想謝謝段夫，謝謝你在我的生命中留下了這段深刻的回憶。
英文原文：
Hello.
In May of last year, you reported on a story involving Fu Duan, an international Chinese exchange student driving a Ferrari who was killed by a an intoxicated driver.
Given that it’s been one year since his passing, I’d like to offer you a different perspective. Fu was one of my students when I taught at Pasadena City College and left a lasting impression upon me. I’ve prepared the below for you to consider sharing with your readers.
Thanks,
Bennet Tchaikovsky
It’s been a little more than a year now since Fu Duan, an international exchange student, passed away in an accident involving a brand new Ferrari. Many people felt that Fu was an example of an international exchange student gone wild. I wanted to take a few moments to share my experience.
Fu was one my accounting students in the Spring Semester of 2014 and his passing happened a few days prior to the final exam. With the over 200 students that I teach every semester, getting to know my students can be a challenging endeavor. However, Fu was different.
After looking at his midterm grade online and realizing that he was receiving a ‘B’ in the course during mid-terms, he contacted me and asked me what it would take to get an ‘A ‘in the course. He studied diligently and received a perfect scores on the fifth exam raising his grade to an ‘A’ heading into the final exam. Fu never got the chance to take the final exam, however, the impression that he has left upon me will last forever.
When we challenged my 9 year old son to achieve certain grades on his report card in order to go on a trip and he failed to achieve the goal, like most parents today, I thought that I should somehow give him another chance. After reflecting, I decided not to let him take the trip. Rather, I shared with him the story of Fu Duan and the dedication that is required to succeed.
Thank you Fu, for making such an impression on my life.
