闲暇的时候,一部值得读的书. 喜欢杂七杂八的阅读而已. 历史是一个国家和民族应该知道和思考的东西. 我不是愤青, 只是喜欢阅读让自己安静下来而已.共产党这段历史如何如何,背景自己去判断.
Life and Death in Shanghai by Nien Cheng ( 郑念先生), 一个偶然的阅读, 了解这位女士. OTTAWA 的图书馆有, 网上也有免费的TXT下载的英语原版. 看了先生的个人回忆, 一个真正的称得起"贵族和名媛" 的人, 什么叫贵族和名媛, 郑念先生的美貌, 修养, 和良心当之无愧. 先生文笔流畅, 字字见血. 个人喜欢她的英文原版, 当然大陆翻译的也可以看. 题材是老太太个人在文革的经历, 值得推荐的书. 尼马, 当今社会所谓名媛-京城的赵姨娘,郭美美,都TMD什么玩意儿.
可以笑我感性, 读先生的个人传记(1966-1980年)的经历, 看到先生对女儿(MeiPing)的描述和渴望为祖国效忠服务祖国的心愿得到的结果是什么? 我流泪了, 感叹一个有良知的知识分子的良心, 一个真正伟大有脊梁的贵族和名媛. 人可以在物质生活上贫穷, 但精神绝对不能白丁(贫穷). 像民国时期的胡适, 林语堂先生那一代有修养有操守的知识分子, 郑念可能是最后一个了. 什么是良心, 这就是良心.同样还有谁记得林昭吗, 听说过她的故事吗? 建议看英语原版(去图书馆借书) 中文版有一些删节.

书中的一些摘要: " It's always best to look ahead and not backwards. Possessions are not important. Think of those beautiful porcelain pieces I had. Before they came to me, they had all passed through the hands of many people, surviving wars and natural disasters. I got them only because someone else lost them. While I had them, I enjoyed them; now some other people will enjoy them. Life itself is transitory. Possesions are not important"
"Many times in my life I had sailed from Shanghai to go abroad, standing just as I did now on the deck of a ship, with the wind whipping my hair while I watched the coastline of China receding. Never had I felt so sad as I did at that moment. It was I who had brought Meiping back from Hong Kong in April 1949, in response to my husband’s request. The shocking tragedy of her death, I believed, was a direct consequence of our fatal decision to stay in our own country at that crucial moment of history. Therefore I felt guilty for being the one who was alive. I wished it were Meiping standing on the deck of this ship, going away to make a new life for herself. After all, it was the law of nature that the old should die first and the young should live on, not the other way around. Also I felt sad because I was leaving forever the country of my birth. It was a break so final that it was shattering. God knows how hard I tried to remain true to my country. But I failed utterly through no fault of my own."
