Before long tens of thousands of schools will have sprung up in the villages throughout the province; this is quite different from the empty talk about “universal education”, which the intelligentsia and the so-called “educationalists” have been bandying back and forth and which after all this time remains an empty phrase.
Mandarin
你几乎忘了自己是从那里来的,你念过的学校、待过的公司,刚离去不久的太太的面貌,则像火车窗外飞驰而过的零碎站名,草屯、六龟、狗屎……它们不必有何连贯,一旦落在背后就如肥皂泡泡一般迸碎在玄秘的空间当中。
