不一樣的戰場

S3M 杨璐菡在过去的几个月中，作为学校中文辩论队的一员，我有幸代表学校出战了由我校举办的，全港规模最大的“凯旋杯”联校辩论赛。经历了几个月激烈的晋级与淘汰赛，前后一共七场比赛，我们在参赛的十四间学校中脱颖而出，夺得亚军。站在亚军的颁奖台上，我回想起来我们在这次比赛中收获的许多赞美、掌声、礼堂中央的聚光灯和成功后狂喜的欢呼，但也有深夜里赶稿的辛苦、质询时的紧张和面对失败时的难过与失落。但对于我而言，这次比赛最有意义的是它教会了我辩论的意义，重新定义了我对辩论的看法。尚未接触辩论之前，我懵懂地以为辩论就是把自己持方的论点炮轰给对方，哪方的论点更多，气场更强，就是哪方获胜。后来，我才慢慢发觉，所谓辩论绝不仅仅只是把手里的资料理直气壮地在比赛时读出来那么简单。辩论教会我最重要的是辩证地思考问题的方式。在比赛中，我们时常会遇上一些让人第一眼觉得“一脸懵逼”的辩题，比方说：人工智能对人类社会的影响是利大于弊或是弊大于利？这些刚开始令我们措手不及的问题，往往在一轮轮疯狂地资料收集和讨论之后，在我们的脑海里渐渐变得清晰。正是赛前的准备，让我们得以对原本陌生的领域有所探究与理解。而严密的逻辑推导过程给予了我们对每个辩题独特的见解与立场。我们开始思考：“我们论点的依据是什么？“”对方在哪些方面可能会和我们产生分歧？”“我们应该如何反驳对方的论点？”。我渐渐明白，在比赛中获胜的一方往往不是论点更多的一方，而是逻辑的推导更合情合理的一方。这场比赛同时赠予了我团队合作的默契与喜悦。辩论队为我们每个人创造了强大的归属感：我们共同讨论，彼此启发，在模辩的练习中提升自己的技巧，在比赛中训练敏捷的思维与临场的沉着。记得小组赛第一场惨败后，在备受打击地低气压中，我们很认真地围坐讨论着我们的不足与提升的空间，那时我觉得有一条隐形的丝带将我们联系在一起——那是对获胜的期待与对辩论场的执着。几个月后，半决赛胜利之后辩论队的聚餐，大家眼里闪烁的喜悦不是来源于我们战胜了对手，而是来源于我们战胜了自己。我们为了胜利而来，但我们带走是对过程的收获与感激。我们为了说服对方而来，但我们在争辩中理解彼此、探寻真理。我想，这些或许比那座闪耀的银色奖杯更能留在我的记忆中吧。

Lending a helping hand as a Student Helper by Jiang Ruolin (S4L) It was the second time that I participated as a student helper during the Sports Heats.

CAS Trip —— 南宁

南宁，对于我们来讲是一个很陌生的地方。在我们的脑海里，一直觉得南宁是一个落后肮脏的地方。但事实上，并不是这样。南宁的市中心，到处都是高楼大厦、霓虹灯，香港有的商店那里也有，这实在令我们惊讶。在城市待了一天后，我们便出发到麻风病康复村。我们坐了数小时的车才到达康复村，康复村的入口并不明显，周围都是泥泞和菜园，可想而知康复村是多么的与世隔绝。康复村里面住了十几位老人家，他们都是麻风病的康复者。他们虽然痊愈了，但麻风病为他们带来了很多身体上的缺陷，同时也带来了社会的歧视。老人家们住的房子虽然很简陋，只是有一张简单的床、一个做饭的炉头、一张桌子和椅子，但他们也觉得很满足。当初来到这个康复村，看见那生活环境，说真的，我们心里还是有百般的不愿意住在这儿。但我们慢慢适应了环境，和老人家们混熟了，发现其实康复村也没有我们想象的那么差。老人家们的家是没有洗手间的，所以他们要上廁所的话必须走到外面的公共廁所，而且通往公共廁所的路很不平坦，对于行动不便，需要坐轮椅的老人家是很不便利。于是我们决定要为他们铺路，令到通往公共廁所的那条路较为平坦。我们一直认为是我们在帮他们，但其实他们根本不需要我们的帮助，反而是他们在旁边教我们如何铺路，帮我们把混凝土和砂石混在一起。老人家们更需要的，是我们的陪伴。很多老人家都跟我们说，我们不需要为他们做些什么，只是简简单单跟他们聊聊天，吃一下他们做的饭就已经很足够。我们认为老人家们那么久没有到外面走过，肯定很想去外面走走，所以我们决定要带他们到明仕田园观光。但出乎意料的是，很多老人家都不想去。他们有的因为身体不好，不能坐长途车，又或者还担心外面对他们的眼光，所以宁愿留在村里，以后都不到外面去。在最后一天，我们为老人家们做了一顿大餐，他们都吃得很津津有味。后来我们还为他们唱歌作表演，虽然我们的歌喉真的有待改进，但他们也听得很开心。在临走前，我们为老人们送上相册作为纪念。看见老人们收到相册那喜极而泣的样子，我们将会铭记心头。这星期的点点滴滴，都成为了我们最美好的回忆。
