早就听说副市长程幼东不同意宣传自己,直至几番相约采访均被拒绝,方知“名不虚传”。几经周折,才了解到一些情况。程幼东1952年生于天津。他的父亲是1947年北洋大学毕业生,从事工程技术工作。程幼东继承了老一代知识分子正直、勤奋、谦虚的品格,自小就想当个学者,象父亲那样为国为民做些实事。1969年,一场上山下乡运动击碎了程幼东的学者梦,他随着八千名天津知青来到黑龙江。从此,便在这块黑土地上扎下了根。1976年底,经推荐,程幼东就读于哈尔滨师范学校,1978年毕业分配到哈尔滨市第九中学任英语教师。1984年,他又考入北京外国语学院深造,1986年毕业后又回到九中任教直至1995年。 Long ago I heard that the deputy mayor, Cheng You-tung, did not agree to publicize himself until several similar interviews were rejected. After twists and turns, only to understand some of the situation. Cheng Youdong was born in Tianjin in 1952. His father was a graduate of Beiyang University in 1947, working in engineering and technology. Cheng Young-tung inherited the integrity, diligence and modesty of intellectuals of the older generation. When he was young, he wanted to be a scholar and do something for the country and the nation like his father did. In 1969, a hill-and-country movement smashed Cheng Yuedong’s scholarly dream. He traveled to Heilongjiang with 8,000 Tientsin educated youth. From then on, it took root in the dark land. By the end of 1976, the recommended, Cheng Youdong studied in Harbin Normal School, graduated in 1978 assigned to ninth city of Harbin as English teacher. In 1984, he was admitted to Beijing Foreign Studies University, further studies, returned to nine in 1986 after graduation until 1995.
