附一：我家的红色宝藏：抗战纪念币 Appendix I: My Family’s Red Treasure: The War of Resistance Commemorative Coin
作为抗日战争结束近60年后出生的“00后”，我对抗日战争的印象是朦胧模糊的，好像那段血与泪的历史早已随我远去。但在五年级的那个夏天，我的父亲从银行中抢购了两枚限量版的抗战胜利70周年纪念币，语重心长地对我教育起了国仇家恨。
Born in the post-2000s nearly sixty years after the conclusion of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, my impression of that conflict was hazy, as though that bloodstained history had drifted far behind. Yet in the summer of my fifth-grade year, my father snapped up two limited-edition coins commemorating the 70th anniversary of victory from the bank, earnestly teaching me about national humiliation and family hatred.
原来，当时日本兵入侵长江，国军节节败退，不久便打到了九江。在过去铁路，公路不发达时，九江的水运很是兴盛。我太爷爷的父辈靠水吃水，刚开始是在水上打渔，慢慢地业务发展到一方漕运。日本来了以后，一方面是被日本人占了水道了，另一方面是为了国家大义，当时我太爷爷的堂兄，人称“九爷”，加入了中国军队。刚开始因为他们熟悉地形，水性娴熟，日本人还真着了他们的道，被他们弄沉好几艘运输船，打死了几个日本兵，也抢了好些物资。
Back when Japanese troops invaded the Yangtze basin and Chinese defenses were strained, fighting reached Jiujiang. Before modern rail and highways, Jiujiang’s water transport thrived; my great-grandfather’s forebears made their living on the waterways—fishing initially, then expanding into regional barge shipping. When the invaders seized the waterways, my great-grandfather’s cousin, known as “Ninth Master,” joined the Chinese forces out of patriotism. Leveraging intimate knowledge of the waterways, they ambushed the enemy, sinking transport vessels, eliminating soldiers, and seizing provisions.
后来我太爷爷的堂兄升至中国军队某营营长，最终指挥官军打走了日本人，解放了家乡。
Eventually, he rose to battalion commander, leading troops to expel the invaders and liberate the homeland.
这枚小小的一元硬币看似普通，实则是纪念反法西斯战争胜利70周年的纪念币。作为7年前发行的纪念币，如今它的价值已经升至其面值的9～10倍。我认为它就是我家里的红色宝藏。
This modest one-yuan coin appears ordinary, yet commemorates the 70th anniversary of victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. Issued seven years ago, its value has risen to nine or ten times its face value—a veritable red heirloom in our home.
我作为新时代的青年，当牢记历史、肩负使命，不忘国耻家恨，力争上游。前事不忘，后事之师！
As youth of a new era, I must remember history, shoulder my mission, never forget national humiliation and family hatred, and strive forward. The past, remembered, is a guide for the future!
附二：行走姑苏：走访苏州状元故居 Appendix II: Walking in Gusu: Visiting the Former Residences of Suzhou’s Top Scholars
乾隆五十八年（公元1793年）潘世恩状元及第，授修撰。从此官运亨通，后历任侍讲学士、内阁学士、户部左侍郎等职，偕纪昀经理《四库全书》事宜。
In the 58th year of Qianlong (1793), Pan Shi’en captured first place as Zhuangyuan (top scholar) in the imperial examination and was appointed Senior Compiler. His bureaucratic career flourished, serving as Reader of the Hanlin Academy, Cabinet Scholar, and Vice Minister of Revenue, collaborating with Ji Yun on the Siku Quanshu project.
嘉庆十二年（公元1807年）充续办《四库全书》总裁、文颖馆总裁。次年任翰林院掌院学士。十七年（公元1812年）授工部尚书，十八年（公元1813年）十月，调任户部尚书，仍署理工部尚书，不久，又署理吏部尚书。潘世恩从尚书位上降为侍郎。他在吴县老家一住便是十四年。
In the 12th year of Jiaqing (1807), he served as Director-General for the continuation of the Siku Quanshu and as Director-General of the Wenying Hall. The following year, he became Chancellor of the Hanlin Academy. In the 17th year (1812), he was appointed Minister of Works. In the tenth month of the 18th year (1813), he was transferred to Minister of Revenue while continuing to act as Minister of Works; soon afterward, he also acted as Minister of Personnel. Pan Shi’en was later demoted from minister to vice minister and remained at his home in Wu County for fourteen years.
道光七年（公元1827年）四月，父丧满，潘世恩离家北上，回到了京城。道光皇帝秉承父皇十年前的诏令，任命他署理工部左侍郎，不久，实授吏部左侍郎。从道光八年八月起，先后署理吏部尚书、礼部尚书。道光十年九月，擢为工部尚书。潘世恩又回到了尚书任上。
In April 1827, after completing the mourning period for his father, Pan left home and returned north to the capital. Following an edict issued by his father ten years earlier, the Daoguang Emperor appointed him acting Left Vice Minister of Works; before long, he was formally appointed Left Vice Minister of Personnel. Beginning in August 1828, he successively acted as Minister of Personnel and Minister of Rites. In September 1830, he was promoted to Minister of Works, returning once more to a ministerial post.
道光十三年（公元1833年）四月，潘世恩被擢为体仁阁大学士，管理户部事务。五月，调管理兵部事务。十四年正月，宣宗命他在军机大臣上行走。军机大臣上行走是最高权力机关军机处的大臣中之一种，位次军机大臣。二十四年奏请开发甘肃、新疆，召民垦种，节饷实边。
In April 1833, he was elevated to Grand Secretary of the Tiren Pavilion and placed in charge of the Ministry of Revenue; in May, he was transferred to oversee the Ministry of War. In the first month of 1834, the Daoguang Emperor ordered him to serve as a Grand Council minister in attendance, a rank within the highest organ of power below that of a full Grand Council minister. In 1844, he petitioned for the development of Gansu and Xinjiang, recruiting settlers to cultivate land, reduce military expenditure, and strengthen the frontier.
道光二十三年（公元1843年）八月，道光帝特许他紫禁城乘轿。道光二十五年（公元1845年）十二月，道光帝召潘世恩至养心殿叙话，上殿阶时，年77岁的潘世恩跌倒了，伤了唇齿。道光帝诏命潘世恩以后入宫，派太监两人扶持。
In 1843, Daoguang granted him the privilege of riding a sedan chair in the Forbidden City. In 1845, the 77-year-old stumbled on palace steps; the Emperor decreed two eunuchs assist him thereafter.
道光二十六年三月，潘世恩被道光帝赏赐穿黄马褂。道光二十八年正月，潘世恩晋太子太傅衔。十二月，潘世恩80寿辰，道光帝御书“寿”字和一副对联赐他，上联是“望重三公资燮理”，下联是“祥开八秩衍期颐”，横批“三朝耆硕”。
In March 1846, the Daoguang Emperor awarded him the Yellow Riding Jacket. In the first month of 1848, Pan was granted the title Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince. In the twelfth month, on Pan’s 80th birthday, the Emperor bestowed a calligraphic “Longevity” character and a couplet: “Esteemed among the Three Excellencies, he assists in harmonious governance” and “Auspiciously entering his eightieth decade, may his years extend toward one hundred,” with the horizontal inscription “Venerable Statesman of Three Reigns.”
咸丰帝即位后下诏求贤，以八十岁高龄保荐林则徐、姚莹等人。咸丰三年，帝亲书“琼林人瑞”匾额相赠。次年潘世恩在京逝世，享年八十六岁，谥号“文恭”入祀贤良祠。同时，对他的三个孙子祖同、祖荫、祖保分别赏给进士、翰林院侍读、举人，并恩准祖同、祖保同年分别参加殿试、会试。
After the Xianfeng Emperor ascended the throne and issued an edict seeking worthy officials, Pan, then eighty, recommended Lin Zexu, Yao Ying, and others. In 1853, the Emperor personally inscribed and presented him with a plaque reading “Blessed Elder of the Imperial Grove.” Pan died in Beijing the following year at the age of eighty-six. He received the posthumous title “Wengong” and was enshrined in the Temple of Eminent Statesmen. At the same time, his three grandsons, Zutong, Zuyin, and Zubao, were respectively granted the ranks of jinshi, Reader of the Hanlin Academy, and juren; Zutong and Zubao were also specially permitted to sit that year’s palace examination and metropolitan examination, respectively.
一生为官50余年，历事乾隆、嘉庆、道光、咸丰四朝，被称为“四朝元老”，恩宠无比。
Serving in office for over fifty years across Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Xianfeng, he was revered as an “Elder of Four Reigns.”
用作状元文化博物馆的潘世恩故居，主人潘世恩(1769年-1854年)25岁就中状元，做官一直做到大学士(宰相)，故居为古凤池园一部分，现为省级文物保护单位，建筑面积1825平方米，有纱帽厅、大厅、鸳鸯厅 女厅等建筑。此宅还曾是太平天国英王陈玉成的寓所。宅西侧即临顿路，与观前邻近，地理位置较好，占地面积约840平方米，陈列面积约460平方米。状元文化博物馆将以展示苏州状元文化为切入点，以“状元”线索梳理出苏州古建老宅文脉，推出状元文化精品旅游线路。
The former residence of Pan Shi’en (1769–1854), now used as the Zhuangyuan Culture Museum, belonged to a man who placed first in the imperial examination at twenty-five and rose as high as Grand Secretary, equivalent to a chief minister. The residence formed part of the old Fengchi Garden and is now a provincial-level protected cultural site. Its buildings cover 1,825 square meters and include the Official’s-Hat Hall, Main Hall, Mandarin-Duck Hall, and Women’s Hall. It also once served as the residence of Chen Yucheng, the Ying King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Its western side adjoins Lindun Road, near Guanqian, giving it a favorable location. The site occupies about 840 square meters, with about 460 square meters of exhibition space. Taking Suzhou’s zhuangyuan culture as its point of entry, the museum traces the cultural lineage of Suzhou’s historic buildings and old residences through the theme of the zhuangyuan and plans a premium tourism route devoted to that culture.
历史上苏州曾出现过45位文状元、5位武状元。厚重的历史文化底蕴和优越的自然地理条件，加上苏州人的不断努力，苏州成为一座文化大都；中国历史上的状元之乡不是因为运气才属于苏州，而是真的有那份实力。
Suzhou produced 45 civil and 5 martial Zhuangyuan in history. Rich cultural heritage, favorable geography, and unflagging industriousness made Suzhou a cultural capital; it earned its title as the home of scholars through genuine caliber rather than luck.
相信在苏城浓郁的文化气息下，全体苏中学子都能在2022年的高考中，考出令人满意的成绩！
Under Suzhou’s rich cultural aura, may all Suzhou High students achieve gratifying success in the 2022 Gaokao!
