路上的钟摆——中国与我

Pendulum on the Road -China and Me

一个少年时代便受到中国革命吸引的人,却花了三十年的时间才踏上中国的土地,这到底意味着什么?这么多民族和国家并立在世界上,这又意味着什么?何谓民族?何谓国家?何谓自我和他者?什么是跨文化?跨文化到底对自己意味着什么?怎么才能跨文化?我花了三十年的时间终于来到中国,在漫长的准备中,和只有几天的突然来到中,我一直在有意识、无意识地面对这这些。愿你们理解我!

Although I was drawn towards Chinese revolution in my teenage, it took me thirty years to finally set my feet on the Chinese land. What are the implications of all this？ There are so many nations and states coexisting in the world. But what is meant by ＂nation＂？ What is meant by ＂state＂？ What is meant by ＂self＂ and ＂others＂？ What does it mean to cut across cultures, and how to do it？ The road to China is long, but the arrival is short. Am I really ready for this long-awaited encounter？
