多年前,有一次和朋友热烈争论,题目是新加坡的国土大小。那天手边没资料,朋友认为大,我认为小,至于大小到如何,都说不上来。等到翻了资料,我也实在没想到它小到了这般,大概只及上海的十分之一。当然我并不褒贬,国土之大小正如人之高矮胖瘦,均可大有作为。我在书上查到,它的城市化率是百分之百,干净、高效,受教育程度较高。林秋霞是我结识的第一个新加坡人氏,印象大抵也是如此,受教育程度较高,干净、高效,城市化率百分之百。她的专栏文章,来了就说,说了就完,真是快人快语。文如其人,再看她的行走,也是马不停蹄的样子,精力过剩,见了山摩拳擦掌就要上去 Years ago, I had a heated argument with my friend on the size of Singapore. That day no information, friends think big, I think small, as to the size, can not tell. Wait until the information turned over, I really did not think it is so small, probably only one-tenth of Shanghai. Of course, I do not judge, the size of the country is as tall and thin, can do a great job. I found in the book, its urbanization rate is one hundred percent, clean, efficient and highly educated. Lin Chiu-hsia was the first Singaporean who I met. The same is true of the impression that I am educated, clean and efficient, and the rate of urbanization is 100%. Her column article, came to say, that finished, really fast fast words. Man as the text, look at her walking, but also non-stop look, excess energy, meet the mountain gearing will go up
