我们在回忆,说着那冬天
在冬天的山巅,露出春的生机
我们的故事,说着那春天
在春天的好时光,留在我们心里
……
一年前没事在网上闲逛,不经意听到这曲子,当时感觉音乐很平常。奇怪的是听到这平和的音乐我却神经质地想哭,想哭却又不知为什么。更怪的是那晚就做梦了,便知道了答案。那张早被我遗忘了的脸,在梦里清晰得触手可及。
第一次认识那人的时候,是在一个春天。他为了块馒头正跟人打架。几个人骑在他身上揍他一个。那些人打累了走了。他居然流着鼻血若无其事地从路边脏水里捡起那块被撞飞的馒头还要吃。我看不下去了就把自己的饭给了他。
那人是个高我几年级的学长。后来听认识他的朋友说,他父母在郊区的铁厂上班,收入不多,每个月给他很少的零花钱。他经常吃不饱饭。我自幼没尝过饿的滋味,奶奶那时候每天给我带一大包早点,再装上满得盖不上盖子的一盒中饭。我经常吃不了就都扔了。但从那天起,我知道了人饿了会为一块馒头被人打得头破血流。
就只那次给了他点吃的,那人于是就每天跟着我了。一看到我就骑车跟过来。记忆中他的脸总是脏兮兮的,一条军绿色的裤子卷到腿肚子,叉着腿骑自行车的姿态像只蛤蟆,在街道旁一边绕着八字与我的步行保持同速,一边用那种让我觉得有点流气的声音唱这首似乎是他唯一会唱的歌。时间长了我的朋友都开始调侃,见我就问“影子去哪儿了”。那不堪入耳的歌声,也常在晚间钻入我的耳朵,让我噩梦连连。
他跟着我,却从不和我搭讪,只是自顾自地唱他的歌。从和他认识一直到我离开中国,他只有两次开口同我讲话。第一次是为了那盒饭道谢,其后是在我即将出国时的道别,是最后也是唯一一次他主动跟我说话。
再见到已经是六、七年后的那个夏天。我回国度假期间在一家超市门口和他撞见,那时候的我已经没有了小时候的矜持,“哎!怎么是你呀?”意外的惊喜让我异常兴奋。他就那么冷静地看了我一眼,只那么一眼我便意识到自己的失态。我们本不是朋友,从来也不是。虽然他的眼睛告诉我他分明什么都记得的。“来买点东西,”记忆里他这样面无表情的说,随后眉毛嚣张地挑了挑,“我女朋友等我呢,没事我能走了吗?”我慌忙回了句便很窘地掉头走开了,懊恼自己无趣更困惑他的不近人情。可几秒钟后我又回到了超市门口,潜意识里只是有点不甘心,但并不知道自己回去做什么。
就在那时我看见了他独自走开的背影,看见他的腿瘸了。看了几秒钟我的眼泪下来了。一个声音,我的,透过模糊的视线对那一跛一拐的影子大喊,“你这是何苦来啊!”这声音在我心里被喊到声嘶力竭,最终也没出口。那是我最后一次见到他。
后来我四处打听发生了什么,才知道在我走后不久他去了日本,他在日本打工的一个舅舅把他弄到那里,靠力气活赚些钱。有一天他从正在施工的楼顶摔下来,一根钢筋从大腿穿了过去。那年他还不到十九岁。
在国外这许多年,我从西海岸跑到东海岸,又从东海岸跑回西海岸。上学,工作,再上学,工作,身边的人像走马灯不断更新。一年前,是十几年后第一次重新听到这音乐,才又记起这个已经被我遗忘很久的人,一时间恍惚有隔世之感。那时候热衷写东西,写得很来劲,却没力气记述这件事,只是告诉了一个朋友,大家唏嘘了一通,以为就此可以把这故事放下了。
几天前朋友送了我一张CD,里面是他选的一百首歌。这首也被选在里面。我不解,去兴师问罪,“你明知道我听不得这个为什么还要让我听?”他说就是要我听腻了,这样才能彻底放下。我想想觉得也有道理,便没再坚持。可当那前奏再次响起的那一刻,肚子像是被千钧的拳头重击了一下,猛然间透不过气来。那一刻我真被吓到了。我被迫闭上眼睛,努力回想,想知道让我有如此剧烈反应的到底是什么。
每当我想起某个人,关于那人的记忆总是会定格在某个画面。我一直以为他的画面会定格在超市门口被眼泪模糊的,本应是极有震撼力的那一幕,他渐渐走远的单薄的背影,像悬挂着宽大衣服在风里摇摆的稻草人。可最终遗留的画面却总是落在那年春天我出国前他来送行时的情景。那天他没唱歌,气喘吁吁赶来,污垢的小脸烂漫而凝重。他嘴张得大大的,开始不停地笑,最后从牙缝里挤出一句话,“你别走了,做我老婆。”我瞪了他一眼,然后仓皇逃走了。那年我十四岁,他也还只是个孩子。
虚弱无力地道一句物是人非,十几年分秒变换的人和事便被草率地随口带过。音乐再响起时,我脑海里就只剩了那张脏兮兮的咧着嘴的笑脸和整齐洁白的牙齿。这个手捧着满掬初春的阳光,带着他的歌走进我梦里的男孩子,忽然让我明白了自己为什么想哭,不是叹这孩子命运堪怜,而是每次想起他时无法抑制的自惭形秽。被违心的生活不知埋了多久的我,如今身边再也看不到那么纯净,耀眼,不坠一丝俗世凡尘的笑容。
你happy了,不知其他寅都happy了吗?上帝教导我们说我们都是他孩子
我名字都换了,可惜没来得及做整容手术,还认识我吗?:)
hairycat我熟,她是个猫性子,到哪儿都先抓人两把看看别人反应再说,呵呵,等大家身上的猫爪子印儿消了没准会发现她其实还挺可爱的,或者这里都是被猫抓过的爱猫之人也说不定。:)
我记得小时候俺们家大院的墙上写的标语
团结,紧张,严肃,活泼
Hi. Agree with you 100% on that life is short and we need to be truthful to our feelings. Thank you for speaking your mind truthfully. A bit touched as well by your concern, because it seems real.
Normally I don’t care to explain myself too much. I write for my own sake and if people get it they get it. But seeing that you are truly disturbed and genuinely concerned, I almost felt an obligation to update you on my latest. I won't bore you with too much detail, except to say that that article you are referencing was written 2 years ago. That chapter of my life has long been behind me. My ex-boyfriend is a good person with a good heart. He may have more of a violent disposition but it's a matter of degree I guess if we want to get all technical about it. Who doesn’t have any violent tendency? It's just that most people learn to keep it well under control. Granted that physical violence should never be tolerated, but for me personally, it has been forgiven. I always get cautious when using the word love, because I don't quite know what it is. But I’d like to think that we used to have it. It’s just that many of us don’t have the first clue on how to channel it, and so we tend to hurt the people we “love.”
On that same note I agree with you that many of us could use some good counseling. I’m not opposed to the idea of counseling at all and think virtually everyone can benefit from doing so whether or not they know or think they need it. I wasn’t insulted by it. It was the other comments you made about my friends that were uncalled for. But it’s all good now, like you said we got off on the wrong foot.
Any relationship is unique and way too complicated to be summed up in a short article. Too much goes unsaid and unexplained. If that article was meant to sum it all up it would be an utter failure at that. The thing is most things I write here is just a way to help me think and vent, and sometimes to no particular audience.
Finally I guess I should let everyone who’s concerned know that we are no longer together. A lot has happened since then. We parted peacefully and rationally when we were both calm and wishing to come up with some resolution of a hopeless situation. He was married last year. I was invited to his wedding. We are friends now and we still keep in touch. We both grew from that experience and hopefully for the better.
月月,这就去。等我一会儿哈
小丢,小洁,兰兰,
快回咱们快乐老家把,想你们拉~~~
对有些人,你跟他讲不通道理的拉~~
谢谢大家。真的谢谢。我的朋友都太实诚了,实心眼得让人心疼。谁爱说什么让他们说什么好了,管不过来啊。
楼下的,你要是玩够了,上别处玩去吧。你非要在这里玩我也没办法。But please direct all your comments to me and me alone. I read all comments and all are well received. Just leave my friends out of this. I admit they can be very protective of me, even though I'm a grown up and can take care of myself. Their love may seem unduely shocking to you, nonetheless I love them for their support and kindness. I wouldn't elevate it to a "cultural revolution" level, nor would I take it as any indication of how "civilized" someone is. Civilization is overated if you ask me. My friends and I are just here to have some fun. You are more than welcome to join us if you'd like, but if you think you are too good for us, then by all means move on. But with all due respect, enough of these insulting yet rediculous remarks about so and so being poisoned by communism or such and such thing is bad for one's heart. You don't strike me as an expert on either Mao's philosophy or cardiac conditions. Give it a rest please.
I like to make some comments to see how people react.
_______________________
Me too. I knew you were not serious. We were playing jokes on you at the same time you made fun of us.
Just hope you could be a little bit simpler and have surely much more real fun that way.
Nice meetinf you here~
sorry I didn't see your most recent post when I wrote my reply!
You are very candid. Yeah,I don't know "why Due tortures her boyfriend and herself" either. I understand that you may act out of good intention to ask Due to seek consultation, but you are probably too quick to give your advice. Also, it's not appropriate to call it "casual"or "mean spirited". You really need to read more of her blog articles.
Also, maybe you are a Chrisitian, but to read and cite the Bible is not a privilege of Christian, right? I remember a Christian friend once encouraged us to pray even though we are not Christian.
因为一开始他身上的某种东西使作者注意了他,可是作者一直不明白他身上的什么东西让她注意,让她萦绕,长时间挥之不去?
等作者长大了,经历了凡世生活(小丢是七仙女下凡哦~),她恍然大悟地明白了,
奥奥~,呀呀~,哈哈~,咿咿~,原来是他身上固有的或者说是保持的,那种千金难买的,大多数人往往容易被生活洗刷殆尽的纯与洁,那种金子般闪光的人性中的美丽啊~
由甜生局长亲自安排!
你不知道DUE的全部故事,当然她也没有义务告诉我们她的全部经历。你甚至没有读完DUE的全部博客,就下这样的结论,实在是很过分。
其次,我们并没有judge你,如果你只是在你家门口发飙,或者你不是在丢的家里对丢说一些不公平的话,我们根本也不会出来说一些我们的关于丢的文章的看法以至于很不巧的被你认为涉及到你。。。我们甚至都是陌生人,说真的,你都不用care who I am and 我们也同样不care who you're 或你是什么样的人。。。,大家在这也不过是就事论事谈论due的文章。。。根本没有谈论到你或者judge你,请你发飙前线读读清楚我们的评论好吗?谢谢。。。。
偶,最后,很不巧的,我和丢非常之熟,非常了解她,不仅在城内,也在城外,她也许有很多缺点,但是我喜欢她高贵透明单纯的人格as well as 她的文章,所以我非常知道我在说什么,今天为什么出来替她说话不过是因为她刚好出门,我觉得在她不在的时候有人这样从她的文章评论她的人格很不公平,所以就出来说几句对她文章的看法。。。。
我只想说,小丢不要太内疚。我们都可能做一些违心的事,说一些违心的话,从而伤害到别人。即使是象小丢那样一次好心的行为也无意中伤了少年的自尊。可是,从另一个方面看,由于你的善意的举动让他在那几年里有了美好的期盼,是他灰色生命中一笔亮色。至于他在日本伤了腿,只能怪运气不好,不是你的错。
关键是要调整好心态,快乐地生活,不要再软弱而违心地接受错误的感情。
同意jerryus小侠女,小丢非常坦率地写出自己的真实感受,"我们应该用感恩的态度去read去appreciate,而没有权利在旁边做judgement." 小丢的文笔太好,我仿佛看到“那张脏兮兮的咧着嘴的笑脸和整齐洁白的牙齿”和“叉着腿骑自行车的姿态像只蛤蟆,在街道旁一边绕着八字与我的步行保持同速,一边用那种让我觉得有点流气的声音唱这首似乎是他唯一会唱的歌”的少年。想起那部电影,“阳光灿烂的日子”。
你和due的区别只是你也许有比她complicate的经历甚至阴暗地想法,但你不会把它说出来,而丢不过是用她的单纯诚实地写出了她自己的感受,this is her writing, her experience, not yours,她并不是为了让别人高兴而写的,不过是很诚实的陈述了她自己的感受whether you like it or not ,对于这样的诚实,我们应该用感恩的态度去read去appreciate,而没有权利在旁边做judgement...........
sorry, I am a very direct person,有什么说什么,如果你象你自己觉得的那么完美的话,你应该能接受我的这段很直接的意见吧。。。谢谢。。。。
虽然有点悲伤,却很美丽。
“纯净,耀眼,不坠一丝俗世凡尘的笑容。”愿喜悦常驻你心里!
应该不会没有吧,要多留心 :)
哎,楼下兰妹可别一二三... 口的,得让小妮子喘口气啊~~
因为有些东西
在你心里
一点点的沉积,从小到大
大到你不留神它就跑出来
好比说哈
你对俺的爱
就是这样的
在你心底的东东
一复活,就整这一力作
不得不让人亲你一二三... 口的
爱S个人的小妮子你~
阿弥陀佛,你心里想什么,就看见什么!
沙发~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
