一花一石如有意,不语不笑能留人(夜读红楼之一)

小时不爱读红楼。记得曾经很一本正经地请出书来,端坐奉读,不到一页,耐心就先没了,用现在的话说,“不是我的那杯茶” (not my cup of tea)。电视上播演红楼梦,也并不是很热衷,对花花草草谈不上特别的感觉。倒是因为经常挨打,对宝玉被揍的一节深感触目惊心,两相比较,庆幸自己毕竟生在了好人家。彼时最喜《西游记》,颠来倒去看了十几遍都还乐不可支,电视重播更是一次不拉。及至大学选修文学鉴赏,对老师扬红楼贬西游的言论很是不满,颇有“劳动人民的文学也是伟大的!”之万丈豪情。

红楼的插曲却一直是喜欢的,高中时代的好友有全套插曲磁带,巴巴借了来跟着勤学苦练,每日刷碗时引项高歌。父谓“还不错!”,母则怒关房门,偶尔大吼一声“烦死啦!”或曰“别嚎啦!”课下与友闲步校园,小了声表演,友曰“我觉得还是磁带里面的更好~”不论如何,远渡重洋的时候特地复制了一盘,塞进行囊。

世事无常,谁能料到成天哼着歌乐颠颠的我有天会突然开了情关,世间种种离恨悲伤,一齐都到心头。现在想来,也许那门一直都是开的,不过我以前背朝着门口而已。这一回头可了不得了,一连数月,每夜把自己关在漆黑的屋子里,听着红楼的磁带,多少悲苦感伤,化作倾盆之泪。此是第一次为红楼而哭。世上哭红楼之人,大约很多都是借着红楼哭心中可哭之事吧。两年后稍好转,仍时常萎靡不振,偏又假期间借了朋友收藏的红楼影碟全套,一口气看下来,从宝黛试探之初开始,一路稀里哗啦哭下来。那种种的小性子,貌似我都或轻或重地使过不是,始知心之所系,只是当时已惘然。儿女情长,伤逝流年,第二次为红楼就又哭了几日。后自己买了一套,却赠与朋友,最美的留在心底。其间夜读红楼,心酸感叹,却记不太清了。

数年后又遇波折,积郁之病再度发作,更是不可收拾。读书也读不进了,更别提红楼。捧着本悲惨世界,都能看得痛哭流涕,不能不停止,到后来是什么书都读不下去,什么兴趣都提不起。慵懒之中,慢慢自舐伤口而已。

再想起红楼,是看到满世界网络贴着叶大师的惊世创意,鬼气森森戏子样的钗黛,养媳童状的宝玉,二姐凛凛红与黑,蓉哥铮铮一身黄,心如止水的我惊了!别说是我,九泉之下,碧落之上的曹公,应该也惊了七八十回了!不过时下的风尚,沿袭古法,有权的或者有钱的说了算,草木之人,只好背后嘀咕而已,不过嘀咕的声音可以约略大些个。一边嘀咕,一边就起了怀旧之情,找出电子版的87红楼,演员服饰,怎么看怎么美呀。再感叹时,索性找出书来(《脂砚斋重评石头记》新校本,©2000-2003 www.honglm.net版权所有),得空得心情时读上一段。

第一回的批里,这次独独对“一花一石如有意,不语不笑能留人”动心不已。刘长卿《戏赠于越尼子歌》一诗,原是这样写的:“鄱阳女子年十五,家本秦人今在楚。厌向春江空浣沙,龙宫落发披袈裟。五年持戒长一食,至今犹自颜如花。亭亭独立青莲下,忍草禅枝绕精舍。自用黄金买地居,能嫌碧玉随人嫁。北客相逢疑姓秦,铅花抛却仍青春。一花一竹如有意,不语不笑能留人。黄鹂欲栖白日暮,天香未散经行处。却对香炉间诵经,春泉漱玉寒冷冷。云房寂寂夜钟后,吴音清切令人听。人听吴音歌一曲,杳然如在诸天宿。谁堪世事更相牵,惆怅回船江水渌。” 脂砚斋是这么批的”以顽石草木为偶,实历尽风月波澜,尝遍情缘滋味,至无可如何,始结此木石因果,以泄胸中悒郁。古人之“一花一石如有意,不语不笑能留人”,此之谓也。“(批绛珠仙草因尚未酬报灌溉之德,故其五内便郁结着一段缠绵不尽之意)此句一瞥之下如惊鸿之影,细看出处和脂砚斋的引用,又是两样情怀。戏赠里的女尼对听歌之人而言,可谓”任是无情也动人”,而青春歌者的无情,是混沌未开先封了情关的结果,内心里天性或者“有意”也未可知。批里提到的,却是历尽沧桑,灰心失意,寄情木石的无奈。此中木石未必有意,有意的其实是寄情的人了。再多想想,就要痴了。

脂批时有幽默处,有一处本就有诙谐意,与时俱进一下,更添一份喜庆。就是书中写贾雨村“暂寄庙中安身,每日卖字作文为生,【蒙侧批:“庙中安身”、“卖字为生”,想是过午不食的了。】”看到“过午不食”,乐喷。脂砚斋想是用来讽刺贾雨村穷酸,只好学佛家持戒。岂知今日,“过午不食“已经成了老幼妇女清减小腰围的热方之一!不过按甄家丫鬟来看,贾生”生得腰圆背厚“。妇女同志们,战友们!圆!还厚!可要看仔细了呀!

顺便贴一下刘长卿的两手绝句,离题是离题了,不过我喜欢~
弹琴 : 泠泠七弦上,静听松风寒。古调虽自爱,今人多不弹。
逢雪宿芙蓉山主人 : 日暮苍山远,天寒白屋贫。柴门闻犬吠,风雪夜归人。

一个相当囧的梦

不黄不暴力,但是比较囧,相当得囧。
事情是这样的,咱不是老失眠吗,特地把自己累个半死加吃饱了饭,还是只睡了三个多小时:半夜以后才睡着,三点多就醒了。虽然睡不着,可身体是真疲倦啊。挣扎着上班,晕乎乎坐下,电脑的时间显示不到九点,在下脑袋一歪,只觉得全身飘飘的,就。。。忽忽悠悠不知怎么回事了。
等知道怎么回事的时候,模模糊糊地发现自己坐着,好像是靠着走道的一个位置,旁边朝里还有一人,依稀是mother?总之我是非常非常得困,眼睛都睁不开。使劲睁啊睁,还是睁不开。然后里面的那个人要我站起来好出去,我就又开始发功,拼命想站起来,可是太困了,站不起来!那个人貌似轻蔑还是不满地就从我身上跨过去料。。。
然后镜头一转,我坐在地上,还是特别特别地困,旁边有什么人叫我起来,我发功,依然困得起不来,缓缓地倒向地面。地面貌似有地砖的那种,挺凉的,我一边倒还在一边想,总算可以睡一觉了。然后吧,又过来一人,貌似是俺爹,把我从地上抱起来,抱到床上去了(这段肯定是有小时候的记忆的,因为我很小的时候有次坐着睡着了,睡梦里感觉到爸爸把我抱回小床),一时于很困很困中默,不知道是感叹床好还是爹好。。。
等我挣扎着终于睁开眼,电脑和蔼地冲我乐呢,大概九点半的样子。

好吧,我承认,日有所思,日有所梦,事后想这梦的细节,并不奇怪。

但是囧的是我居然做梦梦到很困很困在睡觉!以前看过有梦到在考试,惊醒一看果然在考试的,窃以为其囧度不及俺的这个!

关于Matlab读取Excel的问题

日前从Matlab读取xls文件(技术员填好给我的),总是出现如下错误信息:

Skipping 16 bytes of extended strings.
XLS File contains unrecognized string header - skipping remaining text - (942:0xfb 2589).

我看出是格式的问题,可是技术员同志也说不清他用了什么高级格式。我对Excel基本一窍不通,于是上网搜索,发现关于同样错误信息提示的问题有人问过,有英语的,中文的,日文的,不过好像没人给出直接解决办法。从零碎的信息里,我摸索出一个quick and dirty的办法如下(万一今后有人再碰到):

It looks like "xlsread" in matlab has some issues reading excel spreadsheet, not all formats work. Here I'm talking about Excel Workbook and Matlab 7. If you ever get the above error message, here's a quick and dirty solution:

Go to Excel workbook file, "save as" Text (Tab delimited), and you get a plain .txt sheet. Now open the .txt from excel, "save as" workbook. Bingo! You just got yourself a .xls file that can be read by matlab.
Note, however, if the original .xls file contains more that one sheets, you'll lose that info when saving it as .txt. What I did was to convert each sheet separately, and then combine all sheets together. It worked!

从Excel打开原.xls文件,选择另存为Text (Tab delimited)的.txt文件,然后打开该.txt文件,另存回为Excel workbook。如果原文件含多个worksheet,可以一个sheet一个sheet地转换,然后组合在一起。
总之,管用。

Amendments: 1) It's possible that Excel workbook created by Office 2008 can't be handled by matlab 7 (mac).
2) For excel workbook with multiple sheets, simply combining all "de-formatted" sheets actually won't work: the first sheet reads fine, but the rest are a mess. So I ended up dealing with each sheet separately.

红楼梦中人物评新红楼梦(转)

笑死我了:

  宝玉——“好好的一个清净洁白女儿,,也学的涂粉贴额,入了戏子娼妓之流。这总是商人无故生事,化妆拍戏,原为骗现世的广大观众。 不想我生不幸,亦且琼闺绣阁中亦化此妆,真真有负天地钟灵毓秀之德!”

  黛玉——林黛玉冷笑道:“问的我倒好,我也不知为什么这样穿,我原是给你们取笑的,拿我演戏子取笑。”

  凤姐——凤姐在车上说与李导道:“以后还不早打发了这个没文化的东西!留在这里岂不是祸害?倘或外国人知道了,岂不笑话咱们这样的国家,连个文化积淀都没有。” (wintersunray: 读着这段,当年邓婕的吐字记得清清楚楚,字音配合,痛快,也太有喜感了)

  贾政——“老爷听了是叶锦添弄的,才不好说什么,半日还说:‘何苦来!虚耗人力,作践绫罗,作这样的东西。’”

  王夫人——王夫人向凤姐等自怨道:“这几年我越发被雷多了,照顾不到。这样妖精似的钗黛竟没看见。只怕这样形象的还有,明日倒得再看。” (wintersunray: 狂点头中。。。)

  宝玉——“他是你那一门子的导演,你们这么推崇她?不过是仗着小时候看过她几出《宫词》罢了。如今逞的她比女王还狂了。如今我又看不着戏了,白白的供着女王作什么!撵了出去,大家干净!”

  刘姥姥—刘姥姥笑道:"我这头也不知修了什么福,今儿这样体面起来."众人笑道:"你还不拔下来摔到叶锦添的脸上呢,把你打扮的成了个鬼妖精了."刘姥姥笑道:"我虽老了,年轻时也风流, 爱个花儿粉儿的,今儿做鬼风流才好."

The Pearl of Love

THE PEARL OF LOVE

by

H.G. Wells

The pearl is lovelier than the most brilliant of crystalline stones, the moralist declares, because it is made through the suffering of a living creature. About that I can say nothing because I feel none of the fascination of pearls. Their cloudy lustre moves me not at all. Nor can I decide for myself upon that agelong dispute whether The Pearl of Love is the cruellest of stories or only a gracious fable of the immortality of beauty.

Both the story and the controversy will be familiar to students of mediaeval Persian prose. The story is a short one, though the commentary upon it is a respectable part of the literature of that period. They have treated it as a poetic invention and they have treated it as an allegory meaning this, that, or the other thing. Theologians have had their copious way with it, dealing with it particularly as concerning the restoration of the body after death, and it has been greatly used as a parable by those who write about aesthetics. And many have held it to be the statement of a fact, simply and baldly true.

The story is laid in North India, which is the most fruitful soil for sublime love stories of all the lands in the world. It was in a country of sunshine and lakes and rich forests and hills and fertile valleys; and far away the great mountains hung in the sky, peaks, crests, and ridges of inaccessible and eternal snow. There was a young prince, lord of all the land; and he found a maiden of indescribable beauty and delightfulness and he made her his queen and laid his heart at her feet. Love was theirs, full of joys and sweetness, full of hope, exquisite, brave and marvellous love, beyond anything you have ever dreamt of love. It was theirs for a year and a part of a year; and then suddenly, because of some venomous sting that came to her in a thicket, she died.

She died and for a while the prince was utterly prostrated. He was silent and motionless with grief. They feared he might kill himself, and he had neither sons nor brothers to succeed him. For two days and nights he lay upon his face, fasting, across the foot of the couch which bore her calm and lovely body. Then he arose and ate, and went about very quietly like one who has taken a great resolution. He caused her body to be put in a coffin of lead mixed with silver, and for that he had an outer coffin made of the most precious and scented woods wrought with gold, and about that there was to be a sarcophagus of alabaster, inlaid with precious stones. And while these things were being done he spent his time for the most part by the pools and in the garden-houses and pavilions and groves and in those chambers in the palace where they two had been most together, brooding upon her loveliness. He did not rend his garments nor defile himself with ashes and sackcloth as the custom was, for his love was too great for such extravagances. At last he came forth again among his councillors and before the people, and told them what he had a mind to do.

He said he could never more touch woman, he could never more think of them, and so he would find a seemly youth to adopt for his heir and train him to his task, and that he would do his princely duties as became him; but that for the rest of it, he would give himself with all his power and all his strength and all his wealth, all that he could command, to make a monument worthy of his incomparable, dear, lost mistress. A building it should be of perfect grace and beauty, more marvellous than any other building had ever been or could ever be, so that to the end of time it should be a wonder, and men would treasure it and speak of it and desire to see it and come from all the lands of the earth to visit and recall the name and the memory of his queen. And this building he said was to be called the Pearl of Love.

And this his councillors and people permitted him to do, and so he did.

Year followed year and all the years he devoted himself to building and adorning the Pearl of Love. A great foundation was hewn out of the living rock in a place whence one seemed to be looking at the snowy wilderness of the great mountain across the valley of the world. Villages and hills there were, a winding river, and very far away three great cities. Here they put the sarcophagus of alabaster beneath a pavilion of cunning workmanship; and about it there were set pillars of strange and lovely stone and wrought and fretted walls, and a great casket of masonry bearing a dome and pinnacles and cupolas, as exquisite as a jewel. At first the design of the Pearl of Love was less bold and subtle than it became later. At first it was smaller and more wrought and encrusted; there were many pierced screens and delicate clusters of rosy-hued pillars, and the sarcophagus lay like a child that sleeps among flowers. The first dome was covered with green tiles, framed and held together by silver, but this was taken away again because it seemed close, because it did not soar grandly enough for the broadening imagination of the prince.

For by this time he was no longer the graceful youth who had loved the girl queen. He was now a man, grave and intent, wholly set upon the building of the Pearl of Love. With every year of effort he had learnt new possibilities in arch and wall and buttress; he had acquired greater power over the material he had to use and he had learnt of a hundred stones and hues and effects that he could never have thought of in the beginning. His sense of colour had grown finer and colder; he cared no more for the enamelled gold-lined brightness that had pleased him first, the brightness of an illuminated missal; he sought now for blue colourings like the sky and for the subtle hues of great distances, for recondite shadows and sudden broad floods of purple opalescence and for grandeur and space. He wearied altogether of carvings and pictures and inlaid ornamentation and all the little careful work of men. "Those were pretty things," he said of his earlier decorations; and had them put aside into subordinate buildings where they would not hamper his main design. Greater and greater grew his artistry. With awe and amazement people saw the Pearl of Love sweeping up from its first beginnings to a superhuman breadth and height and magnificence. They did not know clearly what they had expected, but never had they expected so sublime a thing as this. "Wonderful are the miracles," they whispered, "that love can do," and all the women in the world, whatever other loves they had, loved the prince for the splendour of his devotion.

Through the middle of the building ran a great aisle, a vista, that the prince came to care for more and more. From the inner entrance of the building he looked along the length of an immense pillared gallery and across the central area from which the rose-hued columns had long since vanished, over the top of the pavilion under which lay the sarcophagus, through a marvellously designed opening, to the snowy wildernesses of the great mountain, the lord of all mountains, two hundred miles away. The pillars and arches and buttresses and galleries soared and floated on either side, perfect yet unobtrusive, like great archangels waiting in the shadows about the presence of God. When men saw that austere beauty for the first time they were exalted, and then they shivered and their hearts bowed down. Very often would the prince come to stand there and look at that vista, deeply moved and not yet fully satisfied. The Pearl of Love had still something for him to do, he felt, before his task was done. Always he would order some little alteration to be made or some recent alterations to be put back again. And one day he said that the sarcophagus would be clearer and simpler without the pavilion; and after regarding it very steadfastly for a long time, he had the pavilion dismantled and removed.

The next day he came and said nothing, and the next day and the next. Then for two days he stayed away altogether. Then he returned, bringing with him an architect and two master craftsmen and a small retinue.

All looked, standing together silently in a little group, amidst the serene vastness of their achievement. No trace of toil remained in its perfection. It was as if the God of nature's beauty had taken over their offspring to himself.

Only one thing there was to mar the absolute harmony. There was a certain disproportion about the sarcophagus. It had never been enlarged, and indeed how could it have been enlarged since the early days. It challenged the eye; it nicked the streaming lines. In that sarcophagus was the casket of lead and silver, and in the casket of lead and silver was the queen, the dear immortal cause of all this beauty. But now that sarcophagus seemed no more than a little dark oblong that lay incongruously in the great vista of the Pearl of Love. It was as if someone had dropped a small valise upon the crystal sea of heaven.

Long the prince mused, but no one knew the thoughts that passed through his mind.

At last he spoke. He pointed.

"Take that thing away," he said.


THE END

-----
Comment: I read this story more than ten years ago in its Chinese translation from a magazine "Reader". I remember I was quite shocked by the ending and felt that it was cruel but in an interesting way. Today when I re-read it, well, I suppose it's more cruel than interesting. Because sadly, I agree.

Meet the toughest pig in the world!

Hello world! Meet the toughest pig that has ever lived!

Yes, he is still alive, after being buried under the ruins for 36 days in the 5.12 Sichuan earthquake that has killed at least 80,000 people. A miracle of life in one of the biggest recent natural disasters. 

This miracle pig was raised by a family living in a small village, Sichuan province. He was obviously well taken care of, weighing about 150 kg  (330 pounds), always healthy and strong. When the earthquake attacked the area, the pigsty he stayed collapsed along with other buildings. He was confined in a small space no more than 0.5 meter high (1'8''). Not able to stand up, he strived by eating coals that somehow fell close, and probably got water from the rain. The poor pig usually ate about 60-pound food a day before the earthquake. But apparently he managed to live on the coal and water for 36 days!

When he was finally dug up, it was a great surprise to all that he was still ALIVE! But of course, he lost a lot of weight - I would say that was another world record - weighing only 50 kg (110 pounds)! He looked like a little goat... but happy to see his masters!






The story, nothing short of a miracle, soon spread out and astonished many people. In fact, a museum decided to purchase this pig from the family at the price of 3008 rmb (~$400). The curator even gave the pig a name "Zhu Jianqiang" (meaning Tough Pig). Indeed, he is probably the toughest pig in the world! The museum also donated an extra of 10,000 rmb to help the family rebuild their house and resume field work.

It was a little sad, though, that Tough Pig apparently was very much attached to his home and masters. The museum staff had the most difficult time getting him out of the village for he kept running back to his sty. The couple, his masters, both wet their eyes. They explained that although they didn't want to let him go, he probably will have a better life at the museum...

[谈天说地]道德和砸石头

我们的社会,需要什么样的道德准则?在今天的中国,在古老国家的传统文化浸入西方马列主义,在日益缩小的地球之村里受到自由民主思想影响的今天,我们需不需要道德?作为无神论者的我,有时会想起这个问题。因为我觉得,我个人的幸福和快乐,和这个问题有着千丝万缕的联系。

七年前当我第一次抑郁症发作的时候,曾经在黑暗和痛苦中寻找支柱。因为个人倾向,比较欣赏很有爱的佛教和基督教,但是经过一些阅读了解,最后还是决定拒绝皈依。于佛教,我无法相信轮回和因果论;于基督教,我不愿向上帝低下头颅(hey no offense big guy up there)。虽然如此,两种宗教中提倡的慈悲,悲悯和大爱,一直深深感动着我。事实上众所周知,宗教不仅为个人提供信仰支柱,也为社会提供善恶标准和行为准则,特别是基督教,其历史上的社会作用其实和后者是分不开的。上帝高于一切,他提出的准则,那一定是对的了。注意!我们每个人,都达不到上帝的标准。但是不要紧,只要你相信,只要照着那个方向努力,就能得到现世和身后永恒的幸福与宁静。而这种追求,也成了一生的动力。这是一副多么美好的图画!客观地说,在维持社会秩序方面也曾经并依然会有正面积极的作用。

不过基督教对我个人来说不适合。普遍的说,我相当怀疑至少在近期,它能够在全国范围内推广,并对社会的稳定和发展起到作用。纵观历史,宗教一般是先入为主。两千年前,如果没有耶稣和其后继者的成功,那么想来会出来个耶饼,取而代之。在中国,取得类似成功的是孔子和儒学。但是孔子虽然号称圣人,毕竟是人,不是超越一切的上帝的代言人,并且不管世人生来就敬畏的死后世界,结果就是十年文革中打破他的人少了许多禁忌。建国后领导中国的共产主义主流意识形态,虽然已经遭到相当程度的变形,但其唯物主义思想已经在几代人心中根深蒂固。而新的一代,在世界迅速发展,对自然的认知大大超过几千年前的今天,在各种思想意识碰撞冲突的中国,愿意接受基督教的恐怕是少数。佛教也不合适,为什么呢?因为佛教提倡的淡泊心情和当下瞬息万变,竞争激烈的普遍格局相差太远。

当能够提供社会道德指导的宗教缺失的时候,我们需不需要人为地提倡道德观念?我认为,需要。不错,完善的法制,法治是未来,是根本,是必需。但是,法律并不是万能的。西方有句话叫做,“Rules are made to be broken.” (制定规则就是用来打破的)不论法规法律怎么进步,总有漏洞可钻。占有最多社会资源或者个人资源的人,总能想办法打破之。从辛普森杀妻案,到被很多自由主义者喜爱的肖申克的救赎的故事,无不是现成的例子。于后者,故事的主人公完全可以是一个真正犯下罪行但胆识过人的恶魔。法律是规则,却要人来执行。一个没有禁忌,没有追求的社会,特别是在一个各方面制度都极不完善的时代,和遵循生命规则弱肉强食的原始丛林有实质的区别吗?自由,法制,和道德并不矛盾!

我们应该怎样提倡什么层次的道德观念?以自我的名义蔑视牺牲,摒弃职业道德真的是我们所应该接受宣扬的吗?这里我就想到很小的时候读过的一则小说。一个偏僻村庄里有个老好人,生性特别较真,做了一辈子善心事,当地路况很糟糕,年轻时曾在下雨天为了救人摔成了瘸子。可想而知,当政府决定修路的时候,他是多么得激动。村长要求各家砸石子,规格是要砸成核桃大小。但是怕大家不守规定,宣布的时候耍了个心眼,跟大家说的规格是指头肚大小。老好人很认真地问清楚是哪个指头以后,不分昼夜地在家猛砸石头。发现别的人家砸的核桃大,还跟人大吵了一架,自己越发仔细,每块石头都要拿出来跟中指指头比大小,不对的都不要。终于到了验收的时候,他儿子拉着石头却被拒受,因为太小了不合用。可怜的儿子蛮着老子忍气吞声地回家了。当然不久之后老好人去世,全村人都想起了这件事,觉得“我们是土坷垃,他是金子”。在这个故事里,大多数村民对规则的“狡猾”态度确实令人遗憾。不过,它也反映了一种普遍的心态。尤其,当这个规则是看不见摸不着,只有自己知道的软性规则-道德的时候,可以想像,绝大多数人都会给自己留个“余地”。满分一百,六十万岁。当满口自由光明的人口中的社会道德沦为为人的最低底线,尤其是在一个不公正不公平现象严重的环境里,道德对智慧,知识,能力以及破坏力日益增加的个人从实际上就不再具有任何约束力。我不敢想像,长久以往,后果会是什么。

不知道我的这种倾向和个人的偏好是否有关。无论如何,希望我们都砸出核桃大小的石子。。。

为了永不忘记

板书内容: 天灾不可违 人为最可恨——还冤死的孩子一个公道
2008年5月12日下午2点28分,四川省汶川县发生了8级地震,以汶川为中心,波及附件许多县市。其中,四川绵竹就是受灾最严重的一个市,顿时,整个绵竹被笼罩在愁云惨雾之中,往日繁华祥和的绵竹顷刻间就成了惨不忍睹的人间地狱,这就是天灾,不可违! 但是,绵竹富新二小,原绵竹五福学校教学楼在地震中垮塌导致当时在校309名学生被埋,当场死亡127名,重伤30多名的惨剧却纯属人为,可恨! 这幢建于1989年的教学楼共有3层,却只有一个仅2米左右宽的上下楼梯,根本就再也没有其他的安全通道,灾难降临时,让孩子们如何逃生?这是谁之过?整个学校,甚至可以说整个当时的富新镇仅仅只垮塌了这一幢楼房,这是什么现象?年久失修,早就破败不堪的,本身也存在重大安全隐患(只有一个上下楼梯)的旧楼房却依然年年安检过关,让全校师生仍然在这危楼里生活,学习,最终酿成人家惨剧,这又是谁之过?可悲! 垮塌的教学楼废墟,四处的孩子尸体,血肉模糊的残肢断臂,家长们撕心裂肺的哀嚎,这一幕幕惨景无不是在带着讽刺意味地向世人揭露着相关部门,相关责任人的严重失职以及他们之间不可告人的,灭绝人性的,丧尽天良的腐败行为。天真可爱,无辜而又无助的孩子们就是直接被他们这群喝人血,啖人肉的畜生们害死的。孩子们死的惨!死的冤!该死的应该是这些躲藏在人民群众中的“豺狼”啊! 家,没有了!孩子,也没有了!,遇难孩子的家长们只有抱着自己孩子们的照片,遗物等,终日以泪洗面,痛不欲生。大家只有一个心愿:敬爱的胡总书记!温总理!来看看我们吧!孩子们死得冤啊!我们坚信党和政府会还孩子们一个公道的!


  

塌为废墟的校舍和边上的未倒的房屋

  

震后五福镇其它的建筑物

  

轰然倒塌的承重墙

  

世界上最脆弱的”钢筋“

  

地基

  

手碾水泥化作尘

  

一片伤心向谁诉

  

127个永远离去的幼小灵魂

  

老师说,红领巾是用烈士的鲜血染红的

  

我走了,书包还在

  

可怜人间母子情

  

就这样失去了你

附另一个在天涯被锁的博客帖子(个人以为这份名单里至少有部分学校确实存在问题,本来可以避免部分死亡的,希望国家仔细查处!):

   [灾区消息]原创:汶川地震倒塌学校名单!(为了孩子的明天)
  
  作者:闲聊斋 提交日期:2008-5-22 11:26:00
    下面的内容是我16日中午在爱卡四川分会发的帖子,但是感觉还是天涯这里影响力大,所以转发过来,希望能有更多的人看到。
    
     这几天总是被一个个逝去的小生命所折磨者,实在忍不住了。虽然也有很多成人在灾害中离我们而去,但面对花季生命的逝去,让我悲愤不已。于是搜遍了从5.12地震开始到今天中午搜房上所有关于地震的报道,整理了一个到现在为止我能看到的在这次汶川大地震中坍塌的学校的名字,不为别的,只想让我们每一个人都能从这次灾难中如此多的学校教学楼倒塌的现实中,呼吁一下,为了每一个孩子,为了中国的未来,我们是否应该做点什么。
    
     在搜索的过程中,看到一个个沉重的文字和一张张触目惊心的照片,让我忍不住泪流满面,有网友建议我把死亡人数也放上来,但是最终决定只把学校名字列给大家。一是因为有些数字太让人痛心,二是还有很多的数据没有出来,也不准确。
    
     有人说,地震中也有其他包括政府的建筑倒塌,但是,规范的群体建筑中,倒塌比例低于学校,这是为什么?我不希望有人以此为借口开拓责任。
    
     还有人说是学校建设的钱不够,难道真是不够吗?究竟是钱不够还是我们的责任心不够?
    
     从很多倒塌学校建筑能看出根本不符合相关要求,这是为什么?很多报道都提到一些学校的教学楼在地震中不到1分钟就倒塌了,甚至看到一篇报道,说学校楼就像爆炸一样,轰然倒塌!
    
    强烈呼吁:
    1、灾后彻查并严惩此次垮塌学校的原设计单位和建设单位,应该那些在地震中逝去的灵魂一个交代。
    2、应该为学校建筑要求立法,而不仅仅是出台几个规定而已。
    3、应该设里学校建设的层层责任制。至少到今天,所有报道中,无论是教育部还是建设部的公开发言,均没有提到究竟应该谁负责。如果仅仅是学校本身负责,教育管理部门不负担任何责任,那么立法就不可能有效。
    4、各地尽快对现有学校建筑进行检测,发现问题,尽快改善。尤其是国内各地处于地震带的区域。

  『娱乐八卦』 [灰常点评]山东省作协副主席王兆山写出史上最强马屁诗歌----只盼坟前有屏幕,看奥

  作者:不要叫我买福娃 提交日期:2008-6-14 6:49:00
    近日上网,忽见旧体《词二首》(作者王兆山,6月6日《齐鲁晚 报》),立时绝倒。兹录其一如下:
      
      《江城子——废墟下的自述》
        
      一位废墟中的地震遇难者,冥冥之中感知了地震之后地面上发生的一切,遂发出如是感慨——
        
         天灾难避死何诉,
         主席唤,总理呼,
         党疼国爱,声声入废墟。
         十三亿人共一哭,
         纵做鬼,也幸福。
         银鹰战车救雏犊,
         左军叔,右警姑,
         民族大爱,亲历死也足。
         只盼坟前有屏幕,
         看奥运,同欢呼。
  
  作者:不要叫我买福娃 回复日期:2008-6-14 6:50:09 
  
      作者山东省作协副主席王兆山------连鬼也要代表的中国马屁诗人。
      
      是四川大地震,王作家代表废墟下遇难者,以遇难者的口吻感叹国家、公仆和人民抗震救灾的努力,面对“党疼国爱”发出了“纵做鬼,也幸福”和“亲历死也足”的感慨!并表达了“只盼坟前有屏幕,看奥运,同欢呼”的愿望。
      
      这个“遇难者”名字叫王兆山,是山东沂南人,1953年10月生,1977年毕业于山东师范大学中文系,是文学创作二级作家。
      
      算来王作家也是五十多岁的人了,早已过知天命之年,可写这样的东西出来显眼,让我说你什么好呢?马屁竟然有这么拍的?!我曾经给我不到4岁的儿子讲邓通的故事,我儿子都懂的给人舔屁眼是恶心丢人的事情,都明白啥叫羞耻。可你一个活了大半辈子的人了,竟连啥叫羞耻都不不知道了,真不知道活着还有啥劲。
      
      三国时候的汉朝老臣王朗投靠了曹操,虽然做了“二臣”,但毕竟还知道这并非光彩的事情,当诸葛亮骂他“汝既为馅谀之臣,只可潜身缩首,苟图衣食;安敢于行伍之前妄称天数耶!”的时候,还知道被揭短,羞愤而死。可是这位王作家把这样的捧屁文章发到报纸上,让普天之下的民众观看,这不是把邓通舔屁眼的事情拿到光天化日之下来做吗?咳!看来不但不知道啥叫羞耻,简直是把无耻当有趣。
      
      山东有“一山一水一圣人”之说,这些都是山东的骄傲。泰山、黄河都是中国文化的象征,孔圣人更是“礼仪廉耻”的倡导者,有着三千多年历史的齐鲁大地,今天竟出了这么个啜臀捧屁的东西!虽然天下溜须拍马之徒多的很,但王作家的这篇文章也可算得上是巅峰之作了,民间传说中的《屁颂》与之相比,实在是黯然无光了。不知到这期的报纸销量如何?个人感觉应该不错,肯定有好多人想收藏这篇经典的拍马之作。

燕子看过余秋雨最近的博客没,那恶心程度也是不相上下的

删博客的应该是通过敏感词过滤加人工监视,燕子也不必过于耿耿。所谓普天之下,莫非王土,呵呵

评论人:燕子飞时 评论日期:2008-6-14 11:42
  我想也是。第一道敏感词,第二道人工判断。如果一个地方多次出现敏感词,当时监视的密度就比较大一点。
  
  在02年青歌赛上看过余的精彩表演,怎么形容呢,曾经有个网友这么写:那个人妖头晃脑的。。。不知道是不是故意的别字,总之我看了很小人地觉得幽默得痛快。这次嘛,就不给自个儿添堵了。
  
  对范跑跑同学,你怎么看的(其实我觉得这个名字给他挺可惜的,跑跑听起来还蛮可爱的感觉,看到有人建议范先跑(跑代“生”字),更贴切啊)。如今“追求自由”仿佛成了精英道德的免死牌,一打出来,嚯,先跑同学成了我不下地狱谁下地狱的英雄了。
  
  对这厮的先跑和肉烂嘴不烂,我只是觉得不屑,不过这样的人多他一个也不多。真正令我不安的是这件事给人的错觉,就是构建社会教育学生可以只要思想自由,不要基本的人文道德。中国没有根植的宗教信仰体系,对和错没有上帝来定义。凭空叫嚷民主自由,甚至完全依靠现有的理论概念就能构架一个稳定和谐的社会?我不信。

  [原创]盛世雄文,旷代奇葩——王兆山《江城子》赏析
  文章提交者:我没有 加帖在 猫眼看人 【凯迪网络】 http://www.kdnet.net
  
  据说,多难兴邦。看来其言不虚。灾难的伤痛还没抚平,邦兴不兴也暂且不说,一篇震古烁今的文章倒是很快就应运而出,而且出自礼义之邦的齐鲁大地,出自山东作协副主席王兆山的大手笔:《江城子》。
  
   王主席,作品生平不详,但看了《江城子》,这一切都不重要了。这绝对是他本人的代表作。这短短的一首词,将奠定他在中国文学史上的地位,他将英名不朽。
  
   做出这样的判断似乎缺乏根据,也为时过早。但只要良知未泯羞耻还在,做出上述判断应该不是难事。中国是传统的礼仪之邦,讲究的是礼义廉耻,但寡廉鲜耻也史不绝书,所谓不绝如缕,到今天终于在王主席身上集大成而以一首《江城子》达到顶峰。
  
   然而,光荣不属于他一个人,也不应该只属于齐鲁大地。这是我们这个时代的光荣。这盛世雄文,绝对是我们这个时代的代表作。
  
   百度百科:代表作 ,指最能显示作者的思想水平或艺术风格的作品。生吞活剥义下,时代的代表作,指最能显示时代的思想水平或艺术风格的作品。
  
   范忠美不算什么,他的言论只是遭到广大有高尚道德觉悟的人们唾弃的个别思想。只有王兆山主席这样的伟大作品才能代表这个时代的思想水平。
  
   一个时代的代表作,绝对不是可以孤立产生的,它需要时间的酝酿,需要时代的滋养。几十年的假大空教育和培养,时代的思想水平和艺术风格终于在王主席身上凝聚成空前绝后的顶峰。
  
   “反右”只是清除杂草,“文革”只是遍撒种子,十三还是多少年的“盛世”才真正成就了这伟大思想茁壮成长的温床。人脸上最后一丝羞耻的红晕终于如晚霞被黑暗吞噬。无论多少死亡,无论多少眼泪,无论多少伤痛,都可以作为我们拍这个社会马屁的材料。一个彻底的唯物论者,一个无所畏惧的人,有什么无耻的文章不能写呢?所以,天才的文章诞生了。
  
   这篇文章刷新了所有以往的纪录,即使不是绝后,但空前是肯定的。对比能说明这一点。伟大的文学家郭沫若同志的《献给在座的江青同志》比起王主席的词来,只是几句直白的仅仅对个人的奉承,无论从思想代表性还是艺术形式的代表性上都太小儿科了。
  
   首先,它歌颂的范围广,从主席到总理,从党到国,从军到警;其次是对比强烈,从地震灾难到奥运欢歌;第三是揭示真理,地震是不可避免的;第四是思想奇特,成千上万孩子死了,有什么好悲伤的呢,那是幸福的!最后是想象奇特,在坟墓里还可以看奥运嘛,如果有电视的话!
  
   这伟大的作品难道还不足以成为我们这个时代的绝作?还不代表我们几十年文化教育的最好结果?
  
   这是世界文明史上的一颗明珠!
  
   什么样的教育什么样的文化什么样的土地才能孕育出这样伟大无耻的作品?什么样的人民什么样的民族才能出现这样伟大的人物?
  
   让我们捂着痉挛的胃欢呼!
  ----
  一个网友推荐的。。说实话,我对这文并不怎么感冒。王主席过了,我没有同学也过了。批判过去,夸大现实,并不能解决现在的问题。

  那里应该是属于google管理。我依然不会说什么过激的话,但是也不会被如此荒谬地一删再删。
  
  01年左右我刚上网的时候,觉得那些当时和以前宣扬自由独立思考精神的言论还是给大家带来不少启示的。但是时间过去了这么久,国家,世界和人民的眼界思想已经发生了这么多的变化,仍然只抓着这一点不放,而且很多时候过犹不及,只要是XX做的事情一律别有用心,并且其心险恶,肮脏黑暗;只要打出民主自由的牌子就光荣正确,定会流芳百年。大众的观点,只要不符合他们,就痛心疾首甚至破口大骂,声称大家都是不可救药的愚民。这个逻辑,我觉得太简单,太不负责任。现在的问题是在已有的框架里我们怎么走下去,而不是凭空构造一个虚无的世界。

[影视评论]To Be or Not to Be etc.

In Horace Walpole's words,"Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel." At this point of my life, I'm not really sure what life is to me. Years of depression has brought me so much pain, frustration and loneliness, sometimes I wonder if I'm still the person I used to be. Anyhow, one thing that I noticed is that speaking of drama, although I consider the greatest pieces are mostly tragic in nature as conflicts and infliction remain major themes of life, I do start to avoid tragedy when I pick a book or a movie. I love Victor Hugo and Tolkien, for instance, but I just have found myself unable to read their work. My heart aches so much, when I feel the truth, solemn and stirring, like a dreamer who couldn't agree more with an ideal yet trapped in mundane and cruel reality. And I've suffered so much from depression in all, that I know these kinds of thoughts or moments are really bad for me. So I escaped, to the realm of comedy.

I like comedies, the least they can do is to make me laugh. Good comedies, in addition, also reveal certain truth of life, often in surprising depth. ... I thank them.

意外地发掘了一个相当搞笑的电影"To be or not to be“(1983),有翻译作《你逃我也逃》,感觉不是特别好,想了两个:《事关重大》,《最好的演出》。大意是39年德国入侵波兰时,一家波兰剧院的主演兼老板夫妻和全体演员怎样临危受命,在啼笑皆非中成功地截获了一份即将送给盖世太保的波兰地下工作者名单,并且搭上一堆避难的犹太人逃出生天。因为故事主人公们大多是舞台演员,不少细节处理具有明显的戏剧味道。此片有一个更为经典的版本,拍摄制作于1942年,不过我没有看过。

主角Bronski先生是个具有典型平民特征的演员,虽然天分不高但痴心于表演,并且好大喜功;其同行夫人光彩照人,魅力四射,不满于丈夫的种种缺点,同时拥有许多美丽女人都有的虚荣心,竟然抓紧丈夫沾沾自喜地在舞台上表演《哈姆雷特》里的经典台词"To be or not to be”的十分钟,私下约会英俊的年轻军官Sobinski。本来这似乎是个普通的红杏出墙或者男小三的故事,但是德军的入侵改变了一切。当德国间谍Siletski教授即将在当地与盖世太保会面前,Bronski在夫人的支持下毅然决定发挥演员的特长,深入虎穴,一会假扮盖世太保,一会假扮Siletski,重重惊险中完成了一生中最精彩的演出!

电影中的喜剧元素非常之多,连一些我本来不甚感冒的百老汇样的舞台场景都蛮可爱,譬如影片开始Bronski讽刺希特勒的歌舞表演。我总觉得,好的喜剧,能让人含着眼泪微笑。滑稽之中有哲理,悲伤的时候有希望。譬如Bronski冒着生命危险去见盖世太保之前,紧张又严肃地跟夫人动情地讲了一句:“我想告诉你,假如我回不来了,那我就原谅你所做的一切。”然后大义凛然地阔步迈出门。想想再探个头回来,脸色一变,愤怒地吼了句:“不过要是我回来了,你的麻烦就大了!”应该说影片中许多演员都相当出彩,给人印象尤其深的是主角夫妇,还有举止夸张的盖世太保。总之笑声接着笑声,感动连着感动,惊喜伴着惊喜,恰是我喜欢的喜剧类型。三星推荐!

前段还看了个"Nothing to Lose“,看网上翻做《王牌任务》,觉得还不如《狗急跳墙》呢,哈哈。著名的《肖申克的救赎》中的老安迪Tim Robbins又一次可怜见儿地以为撞见老婆和老板OOXX,一时间万念俱灰,了无生趣,偏偏碰上只会咋咋呼呼的Martin Lawrence企图抢劫,一番拼死飞车后,将满腔怒火化作打劫老板保险箱的动力。。。当然,喜剧嘛,结局是美好的,不好的都是误会,Tim回到正规,穷Martin找到了工作,两家老小其乐融融!喜剧效果主要在于细节,两个都是老戏骨,演出来再自然不过。其中有个很经典的镜头,是可怜的Tim发现脸上爬了只蜘蛛,大骇之下蹦出车外一通狂舞,被浇了汽油的鞋子又踩到火柴,那几分钟惊慌失措的乱舞实在是太让人捧腹了!也推荐一下~

顺便说两个看了心有不爽的影视。一个是08商业片《时尚先生》,据说是想拍成中国的《时尚女魔头》(The devil wears prada)。从视觉效果上看,我觉得女主角形象(孔维)还是挺好的,身材高挑,衣着有品,笑容很甜。不过,总体上和《时尚女魔头》实在差得太远。华服模特的因素除外,故事情节让我感觉象吞了一只,不,两只或者三只苍蝇。男主为了”事业“不惜一切代价借女人上位,倒了霉之后想要东山再起办时尚先生选秀赛,死皮赖脸地去求被他抛弃的前女友做评委。前女友同学号称要报复,找了个女娃假扮男人参加比赛,说是冲进三甲的话就能打击男的。最后在决赛中被当场揭穿,一余秋雨状老评委居然还特动情地说这不是欺骗,就是欺骗,也是充满了”善意“。而男主,因为没有听从电视台头头的话故意撞伤女男模,被视为大大的余情未了,并且深深再度打动女主的芳心。我晕!这都是什么道德水准啊!

The Devil Wears Prada里面,Andrea在实际工作能力确实超过第一女助理的情况下,同意代替后者去巴黎,已经被朋友指责为没有良心了。而时尚先生这一堆烂摊子,随便拣一条出来也太黑了吧。真太让人郁闷了。就象那个先跑的老师,狡猾地把教师大震来时不顾学生一声不吭哧溜窜出教室等同于只是没有舍命救人而已,不但在网上热炒,而且炒到后来居然成了宣扬自由诚实,以身下地狱的英雄了。这是一个什么样的时代!不过,更教人伤心的是,我隐隐觉得,时尚先生里面所反映的肮脏,不及真实的十一。可是大哥,丑的十分之一还是丑!

再说一个让我不爽的,是个美剧"Charmed”,故事大致内容是现代世界里有三个姐妹巫女天赐特别的善的魔力,隔三差五地就要跟些个邪恶魔鬼打打杀杀以保护无辜。当然,最后都是她们赢了!三个女巫都非常非常漂亮,不仅我看着赏心悦目,也迷倒一大片剧中超级帅哥。所以,故事中也就免不了爱恨情仇之类的东东。亲姐妹中的老三Phoebe,美丽活泼,在约会的问题上性格比较奔放。不过当她遇到Cole,一个化身为人间翩翩男士其实是威力巨大的恶魔时,一见钟情之后便是一场刻骨铭心的相恋。倒霉的Cole因为爱上了她,决定弃恶从善,还不惜自愿废除自己所有的魔力。然而超级女巫的生活是不断与恶魔做斗争的生活,其实还是为了保护Phoebe,Cole几次再入魔道,给折腾得死去活来。而Phoebe有天突然就"醒悟“了,因为Cole是恶的,给自己带来的伤害是巨大的,一定要离他远远的。那翻脸叫一个快啊!而且巨彻底。甚至在Cole善也不能,恶也不愿,痛不欲生,求死不得(魔力太大了,怎么死都死不了),哀求三姐妹施法灭了自己的时候,Phoebe巨正义凛然地说,”我是想要你死,不过不是你想死的时候就死,要是我想你死的时候才行!“ 我K!冷酷无情,一至于斯!在深感Cole太可怜的同时,我觉得其实这反映了一个比较普遍的现象,就是给人下定义。一旦被打上善或”好“的标签,那么此人的一切都是好的,不管做了什么都是可以原谅,都是出于”人性“;反之只要是”坏人“,那么一切都是坏的,啥都其心险恶。叹一下。。。

顺便贴一个Charmed中播放的歌曲,觉得这手不错”Just my imagination“. Talking about freedom, lol.
http://www.jango.com/stations/25285208/tunein?u=0&song_id=116549
发现我就该多听听类似的歌,对我有好处,哈哈。

P.S. For those who have seen "Charmed", I'd like to make a few more comments. I guess in some aspect this show is a little "simpleminded", nevertheless, the magic world that it creates sometimes seems like the sort of place to which I can escape from reality. Besides, the girls are Smoking! Definitely pleasant treats for the eyes, even to a woman. Haha, am I shallow or what? As to the performance, of the three girls, I like "Prue" (Shannon) the most. I don't think it's just because the character has my sympathy, I do think she acted better than the other two. One very impressive scene is after Andy died, she couldn't use her magic power against a demon that tried to turn the book of shadow to evil. When her sisters questioned her, she broke into tears and said something like "Is it because I'm the oldest, I have to take all the responsibility? And if I'm so powerful, how come I couldn't save Andy? What good is our power if we have to watch the people we love die?" The performance is very touching indeed. In contrast, in scenes emotionally dramatic for the other two sisters, I feel their beauty, and nothing else really. Shannon dropped out of the show after three seasons. I read from the web that that was due to conflict between her and the team as well as her personal problems. And she refused to rejoin the sisters on the show later on even though the producers had hoped so. Too bad, but I personally think that might not be a bad thing for the actress anyway. All shows, in general, tend to degrade as the episodes progress - understandable, they are going to run out of good themes eventually...
