“活到老,学到老”是我们从小就熟知的一句谚语。可是如果有人一直到了年老,才第一次有学习的机会,他该不该冲破层层阻碍,走进课堂,和一群比自己孙子孙女还要小的孩子一起读书呢?这并不是天方夜谭,而是发生在肯尼亚的真实故事。根据这一真人真事改编的电影《一年级生》(TheFirstGrader)生动地再现了一位年逾八旬的老人为了重获读书机会而做出的种种努力。在此过程中,有人诽谤他、阻止他,也有人理解他、帮助他。而他始终不改初衷,为了接受教育,打响了人生中第二场艰苦卓绝的战役。 “Live to old, learn old ” is a proverb we are familiar with from childhood. But if someone is old enough to learn for the first time, should not he break the barriers, go to the classroom and study with a group of children smaller than his own grandchildren? This is not a fantasy Tan, but the real story that happened in Kenya. The FirstGrader, a live-action adaptation of the film, vividly reproduces the efforts of an elderly person older than 80 years to regain reading opportunities. In the process, someone defamed him, stopped him, and someone understood him and helped him. And he always did not change his mind, in order to receive education, started the second arduous battle in life.
