前言
涪江，造就了射洪人傑地靈
我的母親河―涪江，像一條蜿蜒的巨龍，從茫茫草地出發，唱著激越的壯歌，穿過崇山峻嶺，衝出森林峽穀，來到射洪這塊皇天後土，她一改狂風快劍的性格，放慢了腳步，在這裏依依不肯離去，把留戀灑在沙灘，用乳汁浸潤沃土，用獨特的大自然方式，造就了射洪人傑地靈。
閑暇時，我喜歡獨自一人坐在江邊的人頭石上，靜靜地傾聽江水的細語，傾聽她講訴那遠古和近代的故事，講述著詩酒之鄉，魅力射洪的精神文明和物質文明。
金華山上，一代文宗陳子昂提倡漢魏風骨，反對齊梁綺靡文風，開創了唐代詩歌革新的先河，一首《登幽州台歌》，成為中國文化曆史上的千古絕唱。
涪江岸邊，荷塘溪畔，孫竹籬舉著如椽大筆，繪盡人間春色，將詩書畫三絕，給子昂故裏留下了數百卷文化瑰寶。
龍鳳峽穀的瀑布，來自悠悠遠古，喧囂著走進了矽化木地質公園，講述著一億五千萬年前，侏羅紀晚期恐龍時代動物和植物的故事，把射洪推向了世界。
“射洪春酒寒仍綠”，“中國名酒”企業和川酒“六朵金花”
之一的沱牌曲酒舍得，以及美豐、銀華、鋰鹽等四家上市公司使射洪成為了經濟強縣。
在離滸溪口不遠的涪江岸邊，坐落著一個風景旖旎、古色古香的小場鎮，那就是二十四孝中“目連救母”故事的產生地―射洪縣青堤鄉。“青堤”名出自唐太宗追封目連之母劉青堤，曆代沿襲至今。大孝子目連聖僧的故事和目連戲在當地廣為流傳，崇尚孝道成為射洪人自古以來傳承的美德。
千千萬萬的孝子中，離我們最近的代表人物，喝著涪江水長大，畢業於四川西華師範大學的包天陽同學，其孝德故事催人淚下，激勵著一代青年人奮發有為。2011年他被四川省評為第二屆十大孝德模範。我被他深深地感動，便情不自禁請他作了本書中的主人公楊天寶。
教書育人，永無止境。教育工作者，退崗不退耕。弘揚孝道，盡力而為。傳遞正能量，何懼路途艱辛！讓楊天寶的故事走進千家萬戶，讓孝道美德植根每一個家庭，為家庭和諧、社會和諧奉獻一份愛心——這就是一個退休教師的心願。
