關心天下大事頂個屁用啊!

Thursday, August 27th, 2015

讀報讀網絡新聞關心天下大事頂個屁用啊讀小說而已

我的小學老師中學老師害我不淺吶他們把我訓練成一個旁觀者

一棵旁觀的桃樹或李樹連開花也不必了

西川 – 醒在南京

reading the paper reading online news worrying about everything under heaven it doesn’t do shit read short stories instead

my grammar-school teachers my high school teachers they ruined me for life they trained me to be an observer

and observing peach or plum tree doesn’t even need to blossom

excerpt from “Awake in Nanjing” by Xi Chuan, trans. Lucas Klein
