15年前，我20岁，乘着改革开放的春风进了海关，当了厦广］海关的一名关员。不久，便赶上从香港开往厦门的‘“鼓浪屿”号客轮宣告首航。紧接着，“集美”号又趾高气昂地踏上蓝色的航海线……那正是改革开放的初期，百废待兴。我生于斯长于斯的野岛，这座滨海城市最繁华似锦的 Fifteen years ago, when I was 20 years old, I entered the customs on the breeze of reform and opening up and became a customs officer of Xiamen-Guangzhou Customs. Soon, the passenger liner ‘Gulangyuyu’ that sailed from Hong Kong to Xiamen declared its first voyage. Immediately afterwards, the “Jimei” plunged high on the blue navigation line... It was the beginning of the reform and opening up. I was born in Noosa, Sri Lanka, which is the most prosperous city in this coastal city.
