今天是八月八號父親節。紀念一下父親。
August 8th is Father's Day in Taiwan. In memory of my father...
父親冉鵬，字勺廷，湖南省常德市人。早年受鄉紳贊助赴北平讀書，畢業於北京朝陽大學法律系。
My father Ran Peng, style name Shaoting, was born in Changde City, Hunan. Thanks to the support of the local gentry, he was able to study in Beiping (Beijing) and graduated in law from Chaoyang University, Beijing.
1931年，國民政府首屆高等文官考試，父親參加「高等考試普通行政人員」獲等三名。同時報考了「普通行政類公務員」第三名，並有「瀟湘晨報」(湖南) 報導 (兄按：這是迄今發現的第一篇有關父親冉鵬的大陸官方媒體報導)，筆者截錄：『1931年7月15日國民政府第一屆公務員高等考試，吸引全國兩千多人報名，最終錄用一百人。考點設在南京，考試三場，有筆試、口試……。』
The Nationalist Government held its first senior civil servant exam in 1931. My father took the “National Senior Examination for General Administrative Personnel” and came third. He also came third in the “General Administration Civil Servant” category and was mentioned in the “Xiaoxiang Morning Herald” (Hunan) (According to my elder brother, this was the first time that any mention of our father Ran Peng in the official media on the Mainland has been found). An extract is provided below: “The first senior civil servant examination under the Nationalist Government was held on July 15, 1931. It attracted more than two thousand candidates from all around the nation and one hundred were eventually accepted. The exams were held in Nanjing and consisted of three stages, including the written exam, oral exam….”
「放榜」– 紅榜張貼，炮竹齊鳴，派人看守。
類似清朝科舉放榜，考試結果以紅榜張貼示眾，類似清代進士三甲排序：『高等考試普通行政人員考試及格者最優第一名朱雷章(江蘇)；優等第二名夏范欽(江西)；第三名冉鵬(湖南)；第四名方楊(浙江)………此次錄取的100人中，其中來自湖南的冉鵬還考了普通行政類公務員第三名。』
“Releasing of Exam Results” – The results are printed on red paper and posted to the sound of firecrackers. Guards are also posted.
Like the Imperial Examinations of the Qing Dynasty, the results of the exam were publicly posted on red paper in a similar format to the three jinshi categories of old: “National Senior Examination for General Administration Personnel – First place: Zhu Lei-zhang (Jiangsu); Second place: Xia Fan-qin (Jiangxi); Third place: Ran Peng (Hunan); Fourth place: Fan Yang (Zhejiang)… Out of the 100 candidates who passed the exam, Ran Peng of Hunan also came 3rd in the general administration civil servant exam.”
父親選擇分配進行政院，並工作直到1949年。到台灣後，主持前行政院結束工作。後再獲得經濟部聘用，直到退休。
My father chose to be assigned to the Executive Yuan where he worked until 1949. After arriving in Taiwan, he supervised the shutdown of the former Executive Yuan then went on to work for the Ministry of Economic Affairs until retirement.
