台海引航天使 黃湧生用青春守護燈塔
陳可文/澎湖報導
從馬祖東引到澎湖東吉，他，默默地守護孤島上的燈塔，這座位於澎湖與台灣之間的中繼站，一如自己孤懸在大海的島嶼故鄉，而他坐看海天一色的燈塔生活，已二十年。
他是黃湧生，一個將卅年青春奉獻給燈塔的五十歲男子。在黃湧生日夜看守燈塔的生涯中，一路隨他漂泊的妻兒，現落腳馬公。
單純個性 幫他熬過寂寞
「顧燈塔」是黃湧生考入關稅總局後的第一份工作，從台中港燈塔副主任，經歷彭佳嶼、花蓮的燈塔，再來到澎湖東吉，黃湧生幾乎快成了「燈塔達人」，如今他還同時兼任七美燈塔的管理工作。
即使出生馬祖東引島，黃湧生還是強調，看守燈塔的日子很難熬，要不是出身在孤島的他，單純個性、耐得住寂寞，實在很難堅持一直留在荒蕪的小島上。
日據時代，日軍計畫以東吉嶼為南進基地，因此在北角的崖頂上建造了一座鐵鑄圓筒燈塔，進而成為今日東吉嶼最大的特色。
民國廿七年，燈塔改建為鋼筋混凝土建築，當年黑白相間的外觀就是現在東吉燈塔的風貌，隨後政府開始派人駐守。現任燈塔主任黃湧生與魏天降、陳有仁、林阿燦、林樹春組成一個五人小組，輪流駐守，扮演東吉燈塔的守護者。
碧海藍天 讓人忘卻疲累
除了黃湧生是唯一的馬祖東引人，其他四名夥伴都是澎湖吉貝、東吉的在地人，大夥頗能適應環境，一天廿四小時全給了燈塔。以塔為家，成了他們的寫照。
林阿燦是土生土長的東吉人，他是燈塔的技工，對這座燈塔感情濃郁。林阿燦說，每天值班得攀爬八十五階台階、八階鐵梯到達燈塔頂，經常氣喘如牛，可是迎面而來的微微海水鹹風，感受著艷陽藍天的菊島氣味，一下子彷彿整個人都昇華，忘了疲累。
身為燈塔主管，黃湧生與夥伴們相處有若兄弟，但平日看守燈塔的生活很枯燥乏味，大家難免會數著日子，好期待回家團聚的時刻。
黃湧生說，守護燈塔最大的問題就是休假不方便，尤其澎湖冬天海象差，他曾經連續四十五天沒有回到馬公的家，因此乾脆將戶口遷至東吉嶼。
開關燈間 細數流逝時光
看守燈塔最重要的是對時間的掌握，燈塔的開燈、關燈，必須根據氣象局太陽出沒標準時刻表調整，每個月大概往後調整一分鐘，戍守燈塔的人，就在開燈、關燈一來一往之間，細數著流逝的時光。
黃湧生表示，無論是東引島或東吉嶼，都是離島中的離島，雖然僅僅一字之差，卻相距十萬八千里。每回走上塔頂，看著世界最美的藍天碧海，還有一望無際的青翠草原，彷彿故鄉東引島就在咫尺。
離鄉背井多年，黃湧生只回去東引一次，目前父母都搬到台灣。對故鄉的思念之情雖然猶在，但此刻他心繫的是為來往台海的船隻指引航行方向，因為那是他的工作，也是他的職責。
身為燈塔人，堅守崗位是最基本的要求，親友總是擔心他如何耐得住寂寞？「孤寂的島，單調的生活，需要一顆純淨的心來面對。」黃湧生輕鬆地回答。
