A Letter To Be Opened In The Event Of My Death Uullee
the following is an excerpt from a book called The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. I am not reading it because I hear that it is a old-fashioned romance wrapped up by SF concept. But guys, the letter is deeply touching, especially [...]
Herman Hesse, the author of "Siddhartha", 1946 Nobel laureate, and most importantly, an orientalist. He is now the candidate for my new 沧海级 idol, so-called "Hesse the Pilgrim", together with "SuShi the Happy Genius, Hugo the Supreme Humanist and the Astounding Russell".
But sometimes I feel that his books are literally, well, symbols, which may be [...]
我家罗素同学这书也太逗了...摘抄一下...他说卢梭和尼采那段我都不行了...it's hard to take them seriously ever since...
有没有人看过卢梭的忏悔录, 我以前看的可真是对他这个人无语了, 居然有这种男人...a unshamefully candid coward啊. "He is willing to sacrifice liberty for the sake of equality".
不知道下面一段说Marxism的商务的中文版是不是删了?
The jewish pattern of history,past
and future,is such as to make a powerful appeal to oppressed and
unfortunate at all times.St Augustine adapted this pattern to
Christianity,Marx to socialism.To understand Marx psychologically,one
should use the following [...]
my feeling is, for language, similar to other things, say
research projects,
you have to really get into it, and eventually be at ease
with it. for
reading, i read a lot of english fictions in china very
quickly and probably
very carelessly; it helped for sure but my writing stank
straight way all the
time. it was a few years later that [...]
It is not speech which we should want to know: we should know the speaker.
It is not things seen which we should wnat to know: we should know the seer.
It is not sounds which we should want to know: we should know the hearer.
It is not mind which we should want to know: WE SHOULD [...]
［八月狂想曲］中的玫瑰是个好例子。有趣的是，这玫瑰仿佛曹雪芹笔下的王熙凤，“未见其形，先闻其声”，首先出现在片中孩子们的歌声（舒伯特［少年看见野玫瑰］）里。我的印象中，玫瑰正式“出场”于纪念核爆死难者的乡间灵台，摄像机忽然下沉去拍一队爬行的蚂蚁，然后跟着蚂蚁摇上一株绿茎，终于，鲜红的玫瑰豁然入目，让人恍然大悟：虽然大苦难（核爆）中命若蝼蚁，而我们这些卑微的东西却总向往并追求着玫瑰般美好的理想。唉，当时一下子就热泪盈眶，真是不动声色的煽情啊。没想到黑泽明还不善罢甘休，竟让玫瑰在片尾再现。那时正值风狂雨骤，神志不清的老奶奶误以为回到了四十五年前的核爆日，于是撑着小黑伞要赶往山后的长崎去救亲人，正跌打滚爬着，手中伞被风掀成了喇叭。黑泽明老奸巨猾地掐掉风雨声，在片刻的寂静（又是“空”的运用）后换上了童声合唱的［少年看见野玫瑰］――老奶奶手中的破伞顿时等同于玫瑰，而玫瑰所象征的理想则更为鲜明起来，这原来是有关救赎的理想，虽然微小而残破

I think high of Richard Linklator's "A scanner Darkly" which will be released in July. It's based on a disturbing story by PKD, directed by my favorite director (remember "Before Sunset"?), featuring my favorite actor, Keanu Reeves(). Is it made for me specially? Moreover, Charlie Kaufman ( Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind, Adaptation) wrote a [...]
Unconventional SFAside from the conventional "Science + Fiction" formula

从前有个寡妇,她和两个儿子和两个儿媳住在一起, 被他们吆来喝去, 苦不堪言.. 但她越是苦闷, 就越是发胖, 更成为他们的笑柄.
寡妇只好离家出走, 她来到一处庙宇, 对着墙诉说自己的不幸, 墙不堪忍受, 墙倒了. 奇怪的是, 她的身体也因之轻了一些.
就这样, 寡妇不停的诉苦, 四堵墙全倒了, 她也摆脱了全身的肥肉.
和那寡妇一样, 为了摆脱痛苦和难堪, 我倾诉.
----这就是我要讲的, 写作的故事.

1970年11月7日，第5时区（东部标准时间）22：17。纽约市“老爹”酒吧。
我正在擦净一只喝白兰地酒用的矮脚杯时，“未婚妈妈”进来了。我注意了一下时间：1970年11月7日，第5时区或东部时区下午10点17分。干时空这一行的人总是注意时间和日期：我们必须如此。
