home, sweet home 心中那片土地
This is my hometown, Heyuan, a beautiful land in south China. 月是故乡的明,水是老家的清。这是我的家——中国广东河源,被新丰江、东江环绕的那片土。

路遇喊冤者 Peasant Chen Zhengzhong wants to speak to President Hu
(NOTE: English text below Chinese) 路遇喊冤者,陈正钟,62岁,福建大田人。据其状书,1997年8月,陈被两邻居殴打,告到均溪派出所,被派出所勒索处理费5000元。派出所邱道全等人收银后,继续包庇凶手,并恐吓、毒打陈。01年,陈告状到大田县公安局,被大田公安局范立江等人殴打致残,后又被栽赃陷害,被判坐牢两年半。所听所见,乃一面之词,然若细想,谁愿意拖着残疾的身躯背井离乡,餐风宿露,十年如一日,对有权势者做无结果的“诬告”? Chinese peasant Zhengzhong Chen, 62, of Datian, Fujian, has wanted to talk to President Hu Jingtao for over a decade. Chen claimed to have been beaten by his neighbors, who were protected by the … Continue reading
Huangtian 黄田
(Note: English text below Chinese) 黄田依山傍水,因为东江的缘故,曾是粤东山区一个交通枢纽、商业中心。到赶集的日子,就很热闹。但它还是一个小镇子。现在,它不但小,而且落魄了。因为现代交通的发达,东江似乎失去了它作为交通枢纽的作用。人们不再乘船远行,而是坐车走高速公路。年轻人也再守不住山区小镇的寂寞,渐渐离乡到大城市去。镇里唯一的客家围龙屋也只剩了个空壳。 但中国人总忘不了自己的根。人走了,家族的祠堂还是要建起来。有了祠堂,老祖宗才能保佑自己和后代。一月九日,黄田的曾氏祠堂落成,举行了入伙典礼。炮仗、香烛、锣鼓、舞狮表演和人群让平日寂寞的小镇忽然热闹起来。 Huangtian, a small Hakka town in east Guangdong Province, sits by the East River and in the valley of Gui Mountains. Before express highways were built, the East River was an important water … Continue reading
路上,家,母亲的笑 on the road, home,mom’s laughter
(Note: English text below Chinese.) 在中国,尤其是在广州,人满为患。在地铁和公交车里,很少能坐着。从车外往里看,人们很无奈地挤着。广州的公交车和地铁总让我想起市场里的鸡笼。这个画面从我二十多年前第一次去广州的时候起,就一直贴在我脑海里。过了那么多年,广州已经很现代化了——用我那些发达资本主义国家的朋友们的话说,广州比他们的美国城市还现代,但公交车=鸡笼的画面仍牢牢贴在我的脑海里。 元旦那天,我和波、群挤地铁从员村到芳村,然后在芳村转挤公共汽车,到佛山探望群的父母,去吃大盘鸡,还有新疆面条。群的父母是朴实、善良的人,并且好客。所以,挤一个多小时的车很值得。可是,我仍然很想念开车到处乱逛的日子。那种自由,在中国,似乎可望不可及。 多年没去芳村,发现原本荒凉的地段如今也热闹了,还有些杂乱。街头到处是摆地摊的。那些人自称来自西藏,专卖野生动物的骨、角、爪子等。我看见几个老虎爪子,巨大而张狂。也不知道那些东西是不是真的。希望不是的。不然,我们的稀有动物就更稀少了。 路上还遇到一个老人,神情有些古怪。我拍了一张他的照片,然后谢谢他。他盯着我,有审视的意思。今天,我看他的照片,忽然觉得他有点哲人的味道。 前天终于又回老家河源去。妹妹也带了孩子回娘家来。我那敏感又可爱的小外甥女教她的外公、外婆玩一个手机游戏:一只学舌猫,阴阳怪调地重复我们说的每一句话。这个简单又好玩的游戏充分暴露了我母亲的儿童本性。她不断地咯咯大笑,笑得喘不过气来,仍没能忍住笑。原本被学舌猫引得发笑的外甥女于是发现她的外婆原来比学舌猫更好笑。 For those who always criticize China’s one-child policy, I suggest they come to live in China and live a life like most Chinese citizens, who have to squeeze into a … Continue reading
