    如今的旧友中，把裤腰带上别一电蛐蛐，整天东奔西走，蒙吃蒙喝，招摇过市的浅陋之徒越来越多了，而如祥明这么赤诚执著的人，却已是凤毛麟角，也许正由于此，我反而格外地敬重这位城市里的庄户人，我觉得修祥明永远是富有的，这除了他的乡土经历、他的朋友之外，还因为他拥有文学。

    • Among my old friends now, there are more and more of these shallow people who have beepers clipped onto their belts, running about all day, cheating their way, and act ostentatiously in public, yet people who are as sincere and persistent as Xiangming are very rare. Perhaps exactly because of this, I actually particularly respect this farmer in the city. I think that Xiu Xiangming is forever rich; other than his experiences in his hometown and his friends, it is also because he has literature.
