儿时玩伴 (Childhood Companion )

除了父母亲的爱护与关怀,儿时玩伴是我们童年欢笑的主要因素。

当时家里没有电子游戏,没有电脑,我们就在住家外的空地或临近的校园玩乐,玩‘过河’,‘兵追贼’,玻璃弹珠,斗鱼等。虽然没有昂贵的电子游戏产品或新颖的玩具,却也过了一段快乐的童年。

小时候也喜欢追看著名的香港连环图- 小流氓与李小龙等。那时候和阿辉表哥有个梦想,就是长大后能当个连环图的作者,因而一空闲时就学画图里的角色如王小虎,石黑龙,石铁等。

当了父亲,看着孩子们和玩伴们开心的玩乐,原来昂贵的玩具,并比不上和知心玩伴的陪伴来的开心。。。

Most people have a memorable childhood. Other than the love that our parents showered on us, and the playground, what made it memorable was the childhood companion who played, laughed, learned and grew up with us.

When I was young, most of the families are big. Half a dozen of siblings were pretty common. Those days, there were no computer games, no video, black-and-white TV was a luxury, but together we had fun playing numerous inexpensive or free games and toys that have been long replaced nowadays by modern game consoles, DVD and exotic toys from shops like Toysrus.

I was a fan of popular Hong Kong comics during my childhood days, and the one that I spent the most time with reading the comics was one of my cousins. We both dreamed of becoming a comic author when we grew up one day. Therefore we spent a lot of times learning and practicing how to draw the popular figures in the comic book.

As a parent now, looking at my kids who enjoys times with their cousins, I realize that what makes our childhood memorable need not be sophisticated toys, but the companion plays an important role…..
