生活在20世纪90年代的中国人,无论是大陆还是香港澳门台湾的华人,都忘不了这样一双大眼睛,它几乎成了黑头发黄皮肤中国人的另一种文化符号,以致连世界著名的百事可乐公司都用这双大眼睛来作为该公司产品的形象代表,在很多城市的繁华地段我们都能看到这样一双大眼睛手持百事可乐爽饮的巨大广告牌,与此相配的还有两句家喻户晓的广告词:百事可乐,超越无限。读者已经知道我说的是谁,她就是妇孺皆知的饰演还珠格格的小燕子赵薇。赵薇的成名颇让一些人不服气,一个电影学院的毛学生,一个演技平平的三流演员,居然成了一个风云大明星,实在是令人大跌眼镜的事情。以至连赵薇的前校长著名导演谢晋也要出来讲话告诫赵薇要谦虚谨慎戒骄戒躁。赵薇原是谢晋恒通电影学校的学生,而谢晋又是以推举少女明星而饮誉影坛的,谢导本当见怪不怪才是,连谢导这样的少女明星摇篮的舵主都不顾年高体弱通过媒体向赵薇提出忠告,可见赵薇的蹿红是如...

洪荒 第一节 在积雪成冰的公路上和老牛车一样蹒跚而进的长途客车在怨声四起的黎明,终于把车轮压上了有着塞上江南美誉的宁夏境内。 经过一夜提心掉胆的前进,开车的年轻司机终于在满车旅客的抱怨声里把车停了下来。几乎一夜都没停止过的埋怨和雪夜里如履薄冰的压力已经让他没有了爆发忍了一夜怒火的兴致。就那样半死不活的半躺在自己的座位上,用颤抖的手点了根烟,在更加四起的责怪声里透过烟雾茫然的看着车窗前望也望不到边的雪野发起呆来。 身后,他的副手和售票员还在嘶哑着声音和车上的顾客在对骂。他的头好疼,绷紧了一夜的神经让全身有了一种近乎崩溃的虚弱。按往常,从这里到达目的地银川,还有一半的路要走,可此刻的他,再也没有精力往前把车挪动哪怕是一步了。...
我与《新民晚报》“夜光杯”的缘分是从8年前开始的,就像我与上海的《收获》和《上海文学》这两份杂志的缘分一样,与上海的《新民晚报》也特别有缘,从1996年到2004年,这8年时间也正是我在文学上成长的8年,上海的这两份杂志和一张报纸,见证着我的成长,因此,我对上海这座城市永远地心存感激。今年,我的长篇新作《夜妆》的推出,再次掀起了文坛内外的巨大风波。在经历了成功与非议,盛赞与诽谤,快乐与不快之后,我变得愈加平和,更想回到一个宁静悠然的写作状态。散文是宁静的,质朴的,同时也是华丽的,超然的。这些在深夜写成的文字,似乎更符合我在文坛上提出的“让作家把姿态放低一点”的口号,我们不再为奖项而活着,不再为“炫技”、“耍酷”而活着,“作品是写给人看的”,但愿更多的作品能进入读者的视野,而不是只在圈内流传。...

THE CELESTIAL RAILROADNot a great while ago, passing through the gate of dreams, Ivisited that region of the earth in which lies the famous City ofDestruction. It interested me much to learn that by the publicspirit of some of the inhabitants a railroad has recently beenestablished between this populous and flourishing town and theCelestial City. Having a little time upon my hands, I resolved togratify a liberal curiosity by making a trip thither.Accordingly, one fine morning after paying my bi

《一个小人物的伟大历程》作者:释道儒君第一章:生命源泉与家谱 本故事主人公游东方这个名字,是他温文而雅、贤淑善良母亲的赐予。在那个主体命运充满悖论的年代,作为柔弱的个体生命,能够赋予她的爱子以平常普通的生命无疑该归属于母爱的伟大造化。能够再凭借自然伟力赋予爱子良好的遗传基因,并送给他一个颇具自然之灵、人文底蕴的名字,不仅是母亲所能给予他的母爱的全部,也差不多是他在童年、少年时代,从母亲身上所能索取到的堪称奢侈的恩赐。并不是他天生不想像正常孩子那样,从母亲身上索取普通的孩子都可拥有的母爱,而是因为母亲过早地丧失了能够给他以母爱的起码能力。想像正常孩子一样从母亲身上获得基本的母爱,对于他来说,无疑于是一种可望而不可及的伟大奢望。...
The Pupilby Henry JamesCHAPTER IThe poor young man hesitated and procrastinated: it cost him suchan effort to broach the subject of terms, to speak of money to aperson who spoke only of feelings and, as it were, of thearistocracy. Yet he was unwilling to take leave, treating hisengagement as settled, without some more conventional glance inthat direction than he could find an opening for in the manner ofthe large affable lady who sat there drawing a pair of soiled gants...
