大部分在中国的人有七天的假期来庆祝国庆节。在纽约没有这样的气氛,所以我试图为自己安排一些节目。一个是台湾人庆祝自己的国庆节(Oct10th)的空竹表演。

我迟到了20分钟,演出还没有[

这场表演全由中国歌手演唱,大部分人是业余爱好者,由一位50岁左右的女独唱名叫yingchi组织。整场演出的歌曲都来自于以前的中国电影和电视剧作及引进电视剧。我欣赏着并随着歌曲回想,像是在回忆我的整个童年,比如我最喜欢的卡通主题曲,再如《夏日里最后的玫瑰》中独唱者甜美忧郁的歌声和对未来无法预测的担心令人心醉。我喜欢这首歌,彼时和此时,歌者的[

牡丹题记今日晨练,我路遇开得正艳的一园牡丹。牡丹多是粉红色,和着露水及早九点的晨曦,真是国色天香啊。我脑海中最忆起的不是电影《牡丹》,不是《牡丹之歌》,不是武则天怒罚牡丹迁土洛阳的典故,而是少时没看完的一部古装电影的遗憾之情。那是上影厂1956年拍摄的《秋翁遇仙记》。那是我上小学时,某周日在家小小的黑白电视上看过的电影。那天早上母亲要求[
