從八十年代中期開始,香港人移民海外已經成爲一種風潮。398Please respect copyright.PENANAG0yqefaKsm

當年,許多家庭出於對香港前途的憂慮,紛紛申請移居外國,認爲可以為下一代尋找更安穩的生活。而我家的移民故事,則源於一九八六年。398Please respect copyright.PENANArOsfYy3ZW4

那一年夏天,我的父母到溫哥華旅行,正好碰上當地正在舉行世界博覽會,整個城市充滿活力。由於大量資金湧入,這個原本遠遜於多倫多的西岸城市在短短幾年內搖身一變,成了加拿大第二個站上國際舞臺的大都會。這一切,對我父母來說,留下了深刻的印象。398Please respect copyright.PENANAaotBMPLXyx

多年後,我問過我爸,當時決定移民是不是因為對香港的前途感到憂慮。398Please respect copyright.PENANAACnswuKjms
398Please respect copyright.PENANA5tlWXgLUOE
他笑了笑說,並不是。他愛上的是溫哥華的空氣和自然環境。他認爲,對家人而言,尤其是身體一向不太好的我來說,山明水秀、四季分明的溫哥華簡直是最佳的生活地點。就這樣,經過幾年的申請和考試,我們終於在一九八九年收到移民許可通知,並且必須在六月初之前正式移居溫哥華。398Please respect copyright.PENANAjoRWtlTvkY

一切看似是無心插柳,但如今回想,卻像是命運早已鋪好的一條路。398Please respect copyright.PENANApCOmMuZxQ5

然而,對當時只有十一歲,還在讀小學的我來說,什麼環境、政治、前途,都是大人的事。什麼中英聯合聲明、九七回歸,對小孩子來說,遠不如每天看到一個個同學因爲「移民」而從班房中消失來得直接和震撼。398Please respect copyright.PENANAqe86N6BJPg
398Please respect copyright.PENANARNtElmFbh5
還記得班上第一個「移民消失者」,出現在八九年初。當時大家對「移民」完全沒概念,只以爲對方突然轉校了。然而,當第二個、第三個、第四個同學陸續因爲「移民」不再出現,每一次的歡送會都逐漸讓班房的氣氛轉變。直到那一刻,我們才意識到,大時代的漩渦終於捲到身邊了。398Please respect copyright.PENANAgQA4pLy76L

只是,小鬼的世界很簡單,甚至可以說是無情。當時我非常羨慕那些要移民的同學,不是因爲他們家裡有錢能夠移民外國,而是因爲他們不用再考試、補習,家人還天天帶他們去購物,簡直是天理不容!398Please respect copyright.PENANAd4lIchEtNo

然後有天,家人突然告訴我:「我們也要移民了。」398Please respect copyright.PENANAOR5pg7QI1e
398Please respect copyright.PENANASnvetvXavZ
我簡直就像從考試囚籠中解放出來,滿心歡喜地跑去告訴最好的朋友:「喂,我也要移民了!」398Please respect copyright.PENANAcxI7WIwKJV
398Please respect copyright.PENANAbLKUbgJXIG
沒想到,對方只是咬着魚蛋,淡淡回了一句:「連你都要走了啊。」398Please respect copyright.PENANAfxatBUHJHm

少條筋的我當時只顧吃豬腸粉,還笑嘻嘻說要買新出的任天堂遊戲帶去外國。398Please respect copyright.PENANA90VYURYSE2

小鬼不懂什麼離愁別緒,也不知道什麼叫家鄉。只知道,時間不多了,那就要好好玩個夠。398Please respect copyright.PENANAOyJ4Ck13si
398Please respect copyright.PENANAR8vNgXtmo7
「好啊,你想玩什麼,我奉陪到底!」398Please respect copyright.PENANAcO1U1mYKcE
398Please respect copyright.PENANAcrIbjfhcf2
於是, 幾個小學五年級的小鬼,在懂與不懂之間,把在香港的最後日子過得熱熱鬧鬧。398Please respect copyright.PENANA7IXoBz2Wtx
398Please respect copyright.PENANAPh9ZGpshKL
那段記憶,更成爲了我對這個城市的最後印象。398Please respect copyright.PENANAdLKS2LvBQD
