摘要
第一次来到城里,是在梦中。
一座广东西部的县城。记忆中天色已经昏暗,骑楼里的灯光亮了起来,很象一排排大灯笼。城市的中心呈十字型,街道的名字很好记,东街、南街、西街和北街。十字型的城市中心,背靠一座山,山下就是老衙门。辛亥革命后,老衙门变成了新学堂,作为县城里唯一的一所中学,盘踞着整座山,山顶有体育场。解放后,中学的一半划为县政府。
Liu Jingwen visits yesterday’s seasonal markets in a dream – the elegant sotto portico architecture of Guangzhou’s West Gate commercial area, the farmers who came in from the countryside to sell produce and buy household goods and the odd luxury, and the buzz of neighborhood residents who dressed up for market day. In the bazaars of Kashar and night markets of Taipei, he senses that romantic past, but notes that in Guangzhou today, the actual seasonal markets have been reduced to haphazard and illegal gatherings, where farmers and poor vendors spread plastic sheets on the sidewalk to hawk produce and cheap wares. Liu returns home to Shenzhen, where tomorrow shines brightly, if illusively; after all, how does one inhabit a world that has not yet come into being?
