故纸自述

此卷自废纸箱里捡出，揉皱中复展再视，笔纤性满，如对旧我，故未弃之。

回想若无昔日之纤，何来今日之厚。人生之旅，熟与未熟也。

虽有今是而昨非之叹，亦不离根本也。

Rediscovered Pages

I found this volume in a wastepaper box,
its creased sheets smoothed with care—
each stroke still delicate, alive,
as if meeting my former self.

I couldn’t bring myself to burn it.

Had there been no such tenderness then,
how could this depth exist today?
A life’s journey—
ripeness and rawness intertwined.

Though I sigh at yesterday’s follies,
they remain roots, unsevered.
