還有兩天就到父親的祭日了。父親離開我們的時候,我才6歲。不知道為什麼,我對那一段時間先後的記憶是混亂的,也許是父親突然離世的打擊在我記憶中的烙印吧。對於父親的印象大多是從照片還有大人們的談話中來的。久而久之,我也分不太清哪些是我自己的記著的,哪些是聽來的。不過有兩件事我清楚地知道是我自己記憶,因為那是我和父親獨處時發生的。也許是順從[閱讀全文]

謹以此文紀念我剛剛離世的一位朋友。MarioSimoes是我朋友裡最具傳奇色彩的一個。他是我朋友裡唯一一個登上每個大洲最高峰的人,包括珠穆朗瑪峰。誰也不曾想到,2017年3月19號,他以令人扼腕,慘烈的方式告別人世,讓愛他的親人和朋友們淬不及防,久久不能接受這個事實。Mario曾是前葡萄牙空軍飛行員,來美國培訓期間認識了Kim。兩個人一見傾心,心心相印。Mario留在美國[閱讀全文]

在Ushuala的最後一晚,被隔壁的一對年輕人吵個半死。他們半夜回來,而且動靜極大,很沒有公德。第二天一早,我們吃過早飯,在客廳裏等我們去機場的出租車。那兩個巨吵的年輕人才起來,房東一邊指著手表,一邊向他們詢問著什麽。好像是他們錯過了早上的船或者飛機,其中的女孩一邊慌張地打電話,一邊哭。這麽不靠譜,要早起還半夜才回來。我“同情”他們。 [閱讀全文]
