时光向前,我们跟着向前走。 常常流连于幻想与现实之间,随意穿行。这能力,是一种天分,是福祉。 过去与现在之间,界限是模糊的。两种完全不同的体验,却如此模糊的连接着。从没有后悔过,也不会。幸福就是如此,是满足,是按照自己的意愿活着。每个选择都指向不同的未来。走过去,才知道。也会偶尔去想象当初做出另一种选择,会带来怎么样的现在。但是如果,也只是如果。没有后悔,只是好奇而已。 和一个经常冥想的朋友聊起冥想给他带来的人生改变。他说,自己很容易站在一个旁观者的角度看自己的生活。不管快乐或者悲伤,都时刻清醒的知道,这些都是会成为过去的。而自己能抓住的,只有现在的这一刻。没有执念,就是自由。 不论是幻想,脑海中的多角色演绎,还是现实,你我无法掌控的剧情,只要能够穿梭于其间,就是做了自己心灵的帝王。自由与否,也只有自己知道。但至少,是满足的,就是幸福的。

最近开始读一些很久以前读过的文字。这些文字的作者当初也是高中时候的孩子。自己高中的时候读人家高中写的东西,心中对他充满着无限的仰慕之情。现在读来,却是很重的青涩痕迹。好像青春就是这么狼狈,更狼狈的是,没有经历过的,想象中的狼狈。 现在想起一年前的自己都是那么的幼稚。还记得三年前看五年前写过的文章,在后面给自己评论:“怎么竟然能如此矫情?无病呻吟的高中终于过去了哈。”可是现在呢?看看三年前自己的文字,总是摇着头:怎么当时自己什么都看不清,就好像装模作样出自己什么都很明白的样子。 人是无法走回过去了。所以每每向后望,才有嘲笑过去的念头。过去没有现在好,才说明我们都在向前走。 青春是一首逆行的诗。我们的主旋律永远是在与世界作对。跳跃,为的是克服重力;嘶喊,是为了挑战沉默。也或许,我们在回顾曾经为青春奋斗过的自己时,除了自嘲(我当初这是怎么想的呀哈哈),也要记住:那时的我们,也是最好的我们,是逆流而上的我们。

The concept of the Great Wall as a national symbol and the ideas based on or derived from it constitute a myth for Waldron. From a negative symbol to a national pride, the meanings of the Great Wall are very fluid. It is given different connotations in accordance with the needs of the group of…

I have been wondering how to translate our beloved concept of Transuclturality into Chinese. After discussing with a Professor focusing on Sinology, and getting even more confusion and a sentence our of a devoted Sinologist (“But YOU ARE Chinese! You should have a better idea of creating a new name for our new concept than…

Life of the Objects and The Silent Story-Teller Objects are born as an “empty space” (according to Pinney). Any discussion on an object must associate with cultural interactions and must not end on an object-level. The notion of separating object and the meaning given to it, as I understand, serves as a precondition of art historian/anthropological research…

What happened in Paris at Charlie Hebdo is an absolutely horrible terrorist attack. Violence is a brutal way to defend Islamic holiness. The al-Qaida terrorist cell in Yemen, according to British media, is involved. This bloody attack has been condemned by the international. Not only the western media is reporting the ruthless murder, they are…

Networks or Flows? I loved using the term “cultural flow.” In fact, I have been using it during my whole studying time. I liked it simply because it matches with how I understand the dynamics of cultures works. Today I was pointed out, that the shortages of this word “flow” are subtle but to some…

What is the difference between “global” and “transcultural”? There are confusions regarding “global studies” and “transcultural studies”, what they respectively do and how they do it. I have never studied Global Studies, but I would assume it has more focus on the political and social transformations in a global context that containing most parts of…
