不可否认，鼓浪屿是一个秀丽的风景区，但它还是一个有独特历史文化素养的地方，这些中西合壁的历史文化需要有人去传承、它的现在和将来都需要有人去建设，去发扬光大，而所有这一切，无不有赖于居住在岛上的“鼓浪屿人”去完成。然而我们看到是什么？是大批鼓浪屿人的外迁，是只准出不准进的户口政策，造成鼓浪屿人口数量的萎缩，乃至造成人口素质的下降。一些外地游客慕名鼓浪屿“琴岛”美名而来，却惊讶地发现，这里根本没有资料介绍的那样，随处可闻街头巷尾悠扬的琴声！人口在流失，会吹拉弹唱的人必然也在流失。事实上，我们从厦门日报记者对女书法家陈秀卿的采访中就已分明读到鼓浪屿的无奈和苍凉，那是对昔日辉煌的回忆、对即将举家撤离的惆怅。希望将来不至于看到，游客渴望琴岛听琴声，冷冷清清不见抚琴人。 Version I: Indeed, well known as a delicate scenic spot it is, Gulangyu boasts more with regard to its historical and cultural accumulation. Then, who shall thus be responsible to be the necessary carrier of its heritage featuring both Western and Chinese characteristics as well as its builder and advertiser from now on into the future? The answer is by any means the Gulangyu people who reside over generations on the island. However, what we saw turns out to be a sharp contrast marked by migration crowds outward and the residence policy of “Exit Only”, which account for the decrease of island population, or even up to such an extent of its quality descending. Some foreign tourists who have been long attracted by the famous “Piano Island” find them in a total surprise at their failure to hear melodious music all around the streets and alleys as that stated in the brochure. A shrink of the residence makes the leaving of musicians who skilled at playing their instruments inevitable. In fact, we have already sensed its misery and helplessness in the interview made to the female calligrapher Chen Xiuqin by Xiamen Daily journalist. Inside it is the nostalgia toward its past accompanied with a sign for the leaving families. Yet it is hopefully not to have a phenomenon where the visitors are flooding for music while the players for which are missing. Version II: Indeed, well known as a beautiful scenic spot as it is, Gulangyu boasts a unique historical culture tinted Western and Chinese. As it is commonly supposed, the sustaining, building and growth of Gulangyu culture lies in its local residents. However, what we see turns out to be large migration of crowds outward and the residence policy of “Exit Only”, which account for decreasd island population, even for its decreased population quality. Some foreign tourists who have been long attracted by the famous “Piano Island” find in a total surprise their failure to hear melodious music all around the streets and alleys as stated in the brochure. A shrink of the residence makes the leaving of musicians who are skilled at playing their instruments inevitable. In fact, we have already sensed a touch of helplessness and desolation, representative of Gulangyu locals, from the interview with Ms. Chen Xiuqin, a calligrapher and Gulangyu resident, by Xiamen Daily journalist. It is both the nostalgia toward its past and a melancholy invoked by the whole-family departure from the island. No matter what, we sincerely hope, in the future, such a scene not be true that visitors, who are attracted here by its reputation of Piano Island, only find themselves echoed by sound of desolate seas. 虽有嘉肴，弗食，不知其旨也；虽有至道，弗学，不知其善也。是故学然后 知不足，教然后知困。知不足，然后能自反也；知困，然后能自强也。故曰：教学相长也。 However fine the viands(delicacies) be, if one do not eat, he does not know their taste; however perfect the course (good doctrine) may be, if one do not learn it, be does not know its goodness. Therefore when he learns, one knows his own deficiencies; when he teaches, he knows the difficulties of learning. After he knows his deficiencies, one is able to turn round and examine himself; after he knows the difficulties, he is able to stimulate himself to effort. Hence the saying, 'Teaching and learning help each other;'
