Big big world

第一次聽到這首歌的時候，是在很多年前的一個夏天黃昏。那時候我和大學同學秋秋一起走在那裏。我們都很喜歡這首歌，常常輕輕地哼著，簡單的歌詞和旋律，但是透露著女生的愛和堅強。

秋秋的家就在馬當路上，離我們的醫學院很近。秋秋的爸爸媽媽住在另外的一套房子裏，所以這裏的小屋就成為了我們的據點。下課以後經常買了零食去她家看錄像，就是那時候第一次看了李安的理智與情感，看了湯姆克魯斯的訪問吸血鬼。

秋秋長得比同齡人成熟很多，所以不太容易獲得同齡男孩子的傾慕。但是她是一個感情非常豐富的女孩子，雖然經曆挫折仍然對真情充滿了希望。那時候她在網上認識了一個男生，在芝加哥，他們聊了整個暑假，每次我和秋秋在一起，就是聽她說那個男生，他在芝加哥的工作，他對她的憧憬，他們將來的計劃，雖然還沒有見麵，但是仿佛已經有一生在前麵鋪展開了。秋秋說，她要等他回來，或者去找他，哪怕天涯海角。

那時候新天地剛剛建成，但是還沒有完全投入使用，人很少，我和秋秋經常去那裏散步，夕陽下，上海的老建築若隱若現，這首歌不知道從什麽地方隱隱地傳出來。她跟我複述那個男生信裏的隻言片語，那些夏天黃昏的下午，至今想起來，留下的就是這首歌，伴隨著那種醇醇的年輕女生對愛的渴望。

可是，男生並沒有回來，秋秋的眼淚越來越多，最後終於不再提起他。我出國一年以後，秋秋和一個相親認識的男生結婚了。照片上那個男生一看就是會好好照顧秋秋一輩子的踏實的人。

每個女生，都有那個小小的世界，裝載著一個個的小故事，陪伴著她們成長。不論是痛苦還是歡樂，最後是獲得還是失去，都是生命的感覺。

I actually almost concluded that "Vertically Parallel" IS that boy :-)

整首歌我一直最喜歡的就是那句，i can see the first leaf falling, it's so yellow and nice.
每年秋天的時候看到第一片落葉的時候都忍不住想起。

thank you girls, i am glad you like the song.

縱然平行, i thought you have already given up on my never changed, overly sentimental, feminine blog, very glad to see you back again.:)

however, your accuse is groundless, in this story, that boy gave 秋秋 a lot of false hope based on the imagination of 秋秋is a very pretty girl. but once he saw her pictures, he gradually faded away, and left my friend huge amount of disappointment and pain. i really can't see the reason i can't blame him for that?
even if i did think the boy's superficial mind hurt my friend badly, but i never remotely came up the conclusion you are trying to indicate.
don't be so sensitive my friend because that just told me you might have some unpleasant similar past, that's why this piece stimulate your anger and self defense.:D just kidding.

It is just because of me or somehow the other main character of your story was implicitly indicted as the culprit of the relationship fallout through your subtle, yet unambiguous wording. Why men seem easily to be blamed as the guilty party, burdened with proof of innocence almost automatically?

Years ago in this country, black people were frequently accused, convicted (sometimes without evidences at all) and put into jail just because their skin color or they happened to be a wrong place at wrong time. Today racism is outlawed. I hope someday the prejudice against men would be eradicated in our mind, especially in females’ ones from my country.

Have a good weekend.
