悼阎润涛先生

Image
11/22 晚上就开始紧张难过,因为阎先生的网站上有人转发买买提一个帖子,说阎先生过世了。震惊,还有气愤,恨他的人竟敢如此造谣? 第二天早上都没有勇气起床,心情极度低落,不停地刷网,希望有人证实这是谣言。 可是,没有人出来辟谣。相反,文学城上一个网友窈窕说消息来自一个可靠的来源,她还在寻求第二方证实。给女儿做早饭的时候,泪就止不住了。女儿看到我哭,大惊,问发生了什么。我告诉她阎润涛过世了,她还笑我为一个陌生人的死而流泪。可是,阎先生对于我来说早已经不是陌生人。不知从几时起,读他的文章已经是我人生中的最大的享受之一,尽管有很多文章我反复读,仍不能完全读懂。 给我人生中能指点一二的人,阎先生是唯一一个啊。这么睿智、善良而且心灵手巧的人,世上能有几人?真正的百年难遇、鬼谷再生啊。这样的人我能与之共享时空, 并且私下邮件偶尔沟通,感恩我是何其幸运。还记得当年准备买车,私下问先生意见。先生竟然主动提出帮我电话讲价,我去取车就行。先生的热情出乎我意料之外,但是实在不敢如此麻烦先生。后来从先生博文知道要来费城参加小女儿毕业典礼,心存侥幸邀请先生来家里住。先生拒绝是意料之中,现在想来,真是遗憾没有去费城和先生见一下面。 本来还希望先生能像我说的那样,按照他爷爷、父亲去世的规律:73,84, 活到95。奈何老天不愿先生透漏更多人世的机密,竟然先要他去了。伤至心痛。我这么一个素昧平生的网友都如此伤心,不敢想象他的妻他的女会如何痛苦! 俩天了,在我以为已经走出悲伤的时候,眼见绿草茵茵,耳听寒鸟鸣啼,眼泪不觉间已溢满眼眶。没有阎先生的冬天,更感孤寂凋零戚寒。 有一个地方,空了。 最烦看到网上有人大言不惭地对阎先生的文章观点评价,说这不对那乱写的。殊不知,真正乱写地人是他们。看不懂“爱因斯坦”(阎先生)的观点,就老实地坦诚说看不懂;再或者,说持不同观点,也无可厚非。看不懂却说别人乱写,还以高高在上的态度,真是如爱因斯坦所言,Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former. 持不同观点,却在别人无法辩驳的时候说别人的观点是错的,真真人心不古。更有甚者,查阎先生的工资职称,并以此论人短长。试问,鬼谷子建了什么功立了什么业?如果...

Food & Nutrient--Vitamin D and Calcium

Vitamin D and Calcium In general, both men and women need about 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day . Women should up their intake to 1,200 mg at about 51 years old . This is because bone breakdown in postmenopausal women is greater than the amount of bone formation. Men should up their intake to 1,200 mg at about 71 years old (ref1). Vitamin D helps body to absorb calcium. So to help the body to absorb supplemental calcium, it is best to take vitamin D with it. Human body can make Vitamin D, but not A, B & C, which has to come from food or food supplements.
