贴两篇林达的文章, 纪念11/2711.27是重庆人民的大日子。我妈那一代和我这一代,都是在十一月二十七号这一天,带着小白花红领巾上歌乐山。活动路线包括参观白公馆渣滓洞,凭吊红岩英魂,痛诉美蒋特务,揭露中美合作所血腥历史,纪念江姐小萝卜头,等等等等,足以给全市中小学生一个庄严肃穆的法定假日。当然爬山秋游和野餐的片断要略去。重要的是墙上大段大段的作文素材,很是大气磅礴,每个想作文拿90分的小孩子都刷刷作记录。大概从我妈到我们这辈,抄的姿势和内容都未曾动摇过,抱不住枪也要奋力接过革命先烈的笔杆子。
即便每次都被语文老师当范文读了,这类表扬是不能反映到外公那里去的。老人家对“精神堡垒”被硬是改成“解放碑”很是火大。但是也因为没有讲清楚前因后果,让我在这点上觉得很难接受。全国人民都知道的解放碑(后来变成全国都知道的解放碑美女),为什么要说它是“精神堡垒”?成王败寇嘛——三年级每天放学路上捧着《岳飞传》《全唐传》,金兀术挟着南宋皇帝,李家将拿着大铁锤,他们要改什么就是什么,小学生都能明白的道理。
教育从娃娃抓起,我们的光荣传统远至唐风汉土,改朝换代从不间断。今天终于不用做议论文了,转贴两篇林达的博客文章,看看当年兴办合作所的美帝国主义在今天是如何干涉他国内政外交的。
《南京》的正义感和历史感
关于历史观
Road Trip 3- Tulsa to KCOriginal trip planner 3 for TKSgiving on the road
Sunday - we will be driving through the downtown historic art decos, visit the Philbrook Museum of Art and take pictures for "America's Main Street" - Route 66, now the 11th street in Tulsa downtown. We could either do a laid-back brunch or make a quick trip to Keystone State Park 20 minutes drive Northwest. Finally we will be on our way to KC, another four and half hours' fun.
曾经在飞机杂志上看到介绍Tulsa的文章,那时候对这个“20分钟城市”很是动心。大概期待过高,失望也容易些,至少没有想到中心的老建筑群(除了各式教堂以外——看来是一个很注意宗教灵修的地方)如此败落,传说中的美国大道66号公路如此不堪的穿越城市,没有想到我们的早饭还要在快餐店Wendy's解决。 好在还有Philbrook,美术馆的园林情节给了这个落魄的前世界石油之都一块绿洲。没有再继续西进寻找森林公园,一路超速15英里飞奔回家,几近梦游状态。想到一车人的命都很无价,便又精神无限。 平安归来,1600公里,三天两个城市。由结果找理由——为了完成地标上的克林顿图书馆,为了一直想去的“Chandler流放地”,还为了对深秋中部苍茫、颜色变迁的好奇。我要的一段出行,打磨身心,变得tougher的不仅仅是磨出茧的手掌内侧。
Road trip 2 - Little Rock to TulsaTrip planner 2 for TKSgiving on the road:
On Saturday morning though the farmers won't show up with fresh veggie and fruits (only May to Oct), the River Market would still be an ideal place to grab breakfast while sit down for river view if the weather is allowed. For the city's name sake, we will be looking for Le Petite Roche (Little Rock) in the River Front Park. The next stop (or nonstop) on our drive is the Old State House (now a museum) and the new Capital Building (a resembling of the DC Capitol, as in many other states), along with the Governor's Mansion. Those are said to be architetures good for pictures. As we are in the Quapaw Quarter historic district already, there are also many museums around, including Arkansas Arts Center and Decorative Arts Museum. My personal fave would be the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History (10-4) in the former U.S. Arsenal Building, which also houses the Arkansas Museum of Science and History.
I hope we could wrap up before noon as there are 280 miles left on the way to Tulsa as well as several State Parks. Fort Smith would be the spot for a brief lunch and one hour drive from the bi-state city is Pine Creek Cove State Park while another 30 minutes ahead is Greenleaf Lake State Park, which is 1.5 hours away from the City of Tulsa.
Now I assume everyone will be craving for food. BBQ is said to be pretty good there. But my office folks recommended steak instead (they still insist that KC has the best barbeque, even though the local favourite is named after "Oklahoma Joe's"). Brookside may be a good place to hang out, with amazing restaraunts, bars and sushi's. The hotel is Crowne Plaza Tulsa located in Downtown. There is an indoor pool and I'm gonna bring my swimming suit anyway. 还算顺利。在市场里找到了热乎的早饭,有点想念费城的Reading Terminal, 虽然不是一个级别的繁华。在空旷无人的河边寻找“小石头”,引出了“小石城”的一段故事——法国殖民,试水石,西进,印第安人,内战从邦联到联邦。。。或许,石头本身便是城市促销的一个饵? 走车观景,老州府,州议会,州长府邸,一切都和阿肯萨政府有关。观光有轨电车像老妪一样散步过桥,整座城在过节期间唱空。时间停滞空间压缩,催人即时撤离,甚至忘了凭吊麦克阿瑟的故居。看来我不是一个真正的历史爱好者。 进入奥克拉荷马的一段路程,因为有了沿途的森林公园而增色不少。据说奥州大大小小的州级公园,构建了完整的植物群落层次。可惜深秋初冬,除了残留的落叶,我们就不作其他层次研究之想了。一路上有大片的枫树,水杉,芦苇,草甸和湖光山色做底色,偶尔出现的核桃、蘑菇、野鸭、大雁润笔。听冰雨颗粒干净清脆的洒在满地落叶上,觉得人生真是幸福。 中途在FortSmith找到了极便宜的墨西哥菜La Huerta。进得Tulsa,人已经恍惚,还是寻到了In The Raw, 物美实惠的寿司,惊为天人的导位,还有活泼贴心的服务小弟。美中不足是酒店泳池如澡堂大小,失修,于是罢游。
Road Trip 1 - KC to Little RockOriginal trip planner 1 for TKSgiving on the road:
Let's start as early as possible this Friday morning - 7 or 8 am - leaving KC for Little Rock Arkansas. Appx. 7 hour drive will lead us to a late lunch (options including Cafe in the presidential library or any lunch place downtown) and a pretty tight visit to Bill Clinton Library before it closes at 5pm. Then we will drive north towards the Old Mill (Fairway Ave. & Lakeshore Dr.), which is a replica of an old-water-powered grist mill and was featured in "Gone With the Wind." Hopefully we could catch a glimpse of the sunset on Arkansas River before we arrive at the Wyndham Hotel River Front (North).
Dinner options are plenty, as there is Clinton's favorite Mexican restaurant (Juanita's Coffee and Bar), a highly-rated Chinese cuisine (Chi's) and local recommended Murry's Theatre ($22 buffet with comedy shows), etc. Print out your list w/ driving directions if you have certain perference. Nightlife... aslo find out on your own as the driver probably would be dying of sleep... 果然计划不如变化。我及其得意的旅游安排,除了基本准确的出发时间以外,其余都不在人力预料之内。 提前一个小时到达小石城,饿着肚子看完了克林顿图书馆和九零年代大事纪,心急火燎寻找食物以至于忘了《飘》里的老水车。墨西哥馆子还没到开门时间,“评价很高”的中国快餐馆其烂无比。赶路六个小时以后,发现自己比想象中身心坚强,却仍然没有意识到带着三个天平座出行——怎么能问他们要偏好清单?冷冷的月亮在阿肯萨河上升起,没有夜生活。 为什么要出这趟门?不光是要在RAV4上增加一千英里Milage,不单单为了收集我们生活在中部的证据吧。计划里说,to be continued。
感恩节 玩的进行时又去了趟大学城劳伦斯。趁着堪萨斯的牛还没有冬眠叶子还没有掉光,一路云开见阳光。有美人自NYC来,有会说“我去关门儿”的博物馆美术指导作地陪。每年见一次劳伦斯小镇,每次风味都不同。唯有太阳花户外店的那只猫,还是我行我秀大牌依旧。克里斯在镇上小店橱窗前停留片刻,指着一扇黑底金漆的中式屏风若有所思:白居易。我们哗的向后散开,拱手指地跟他说:吓死人了,幸好还有落款,要是随便开口就白居易,我们当街一起跪下给你磕头。
算来俺在中部乡下也接受了两年再教育,也路过了马克吐温的故居约翰斯坦贝克的渔人码头。平均来说还是中国人更有学习皮毛的精神么?举例来说,最近发现(或者说总结),敌人内部的主要矛盾,不在于无产阶级和资本家之间,不是专政阶级针对被专政阶级,而是左右分化的社会阵营,标签式分类如下 -
左:渔猎,大农场,枪支,投行,个人财产,礼拜天教堂,橄榄球周末,基金,家庭责任,节约,上帝造人,
右:反战,先锋派,行为艺术,知识分子,科学至上,同性恋,工会,城市无业游民,常春藤,温室效应
对于我,给饭碗和帮忙到底的是左,一起物质腐败精神交流的在右。让人很奇怪的关系,其实也简单纯粹,左手父母右手狐朋狗友,美利坚的底气和创造力。搞笑的是感恩节当天,要赶的两场饭局,正好一左一右。世事就是这么矛盾,人又需要平衡,自以为游走在中间,把民主党的虚伪和共和党的贪心都只捡到皮毛。倒是在公司对面的小剧院,看完了十问和色戒,非吾王土的效果毕竟不一样,弄得我见到右边的就想要讨论。终于有摄影师查同学表示是李安的粉丝,在费城看过The Ice Storm,来中西部又通过Riding with the Devil观摩牛仔生活。一高兴跟着去了舞者家的聚会,被奇怪的老头子指着问你们结婚多久了。于是只好一把搂过查同学一边晃光秃秃的左手无名指,笑得岔气说我们正在向这个方向努力呢马上就给他买钻戒。
以上似乎就是工作三个月的缩影——金牛双子的无限能量,不能在工作里找到玩乐空间,于是统统纵情山水城市间。还是怀念做学生的充实,怀念那个任谁都夸聪明自我感觉良好的Intern时代。
帖一个家附近的Loose Park之秋。。。。应景,外加映衬金色心情
![]() 感恩节之吃的前奏曲每天兢兢业业做一道甜食。回家的时候,开门便会有头天烤箱里的香味飘出 - 芝士黄油、焦糖苹果、朗姆红莓、奶油坚果。。。混合到一块,家里就提前积攒了暖暖的冬天味道。
中途做了一次蟹粉蛋,用醋和生姜模仿蟹味的上海菜。失败,大概两年没动手艺也生疏了。想起在彼地,某人急厚厚的打听了蟹粉蛋的做法卷了袖子下厨。想来每一地每一时,都有那么些细细索索的开心理由吧。
最近的尝试是提拉米苏。这个夏天爱上意大利菜和甜食,一边吃一边做一边原材料英译。意面水平已经超越周围大部分馆子(璇小姐评语),好歹证明了自己是个聪明贤惠的饮食姑娘。下次帖家传冰糖肘子出来,吃到的人请多多表扬。
