老實講，對時事有了解的人都很難再保持盲目樂觀，但近年同當下的香港都經常令我想起The fall of the house of Usher

迷思，藏族人看到嚴刑峻法，而老中至今相信藏族人每年有一個殺人指標的鬼話

恕我直言，牆國人在牆外依舊產出低質內容偏多，從陰謀論到純AI編造，不一而足，總而言之是二十年前故事會都不會刊載的內容 奇就奇在許多人不論身在何處依舊為這種內容買單，堅決不做事實核查，堅決不思考，堅決散布謠言 也是奇觀⋯⋯

本人非常厭惡阿來

我覺得在周潤發不得不出席mama時用長鏡頭拍他然後在炒作他多麼有氣場是在對他施暴，乃至對全香港施暴 即“我們看到你在大火中痛失家園的痛苦了，但我們不在乎真相和追責，也不會幫你們聲討。我們只覺得你們悲慟的模樣真好看” 這點在中國網民紛紛轉發該片段並評論：「法拉利老了還是法拉利」時達到巔峰

基本上我已經不再算是一個反戰主義者，有時候我認同並且期待終有一戰。 原因簡單，累積的矛盾已經去到只能通過戰爭解決，就好像必須擠掉的膿瘡。 問題只剩下when, where and who wins

就像是有两个拉萨……   就像是有两个拉萨， 一个看得见，一个看不见， 这需要说出口。其实是转述 在河边树林里，朝着布达拉宫 悄悄磕长头的退休干部的低语， 如同一份不得不更新的地理文本——   “这吉曲，这幸福河， 他们会指着说这就是吉曲。 但在过去，水面宽阔，缓缓流淌， 一年四季各有不同的风景， 沉浸水中的习俗留下许多歌谣。 如今被截流、改道，分成了几份， 那填平的，铺了路，盖了房， 外人络绎不绝，日夜寻欢作乐…… 总之，那叫吉曲的，这里曾有过。”   “这颇章，这布达拉宫， 他们会指着说这就是颇章。 但传统上，所有的房子不能高过它， 包括世尊家族近在咫尺的房子。 世俗人家的房子也不能高过祖拉康， 从金顶即可望见北边山脚下的色拉寺， 也依稀望见西边山坳上的哲蚌寺， 如今几乎被幢幢高楼挡住视线…… 总之，那叫颇章的，这里曾有过。”   “这荡热，这拉鲁湿地， 他们会指着说这就是荡热。 说它是拉萨的肺，日夜氤氲新鲜空气， 但它在不断地缩小，缩小。 以前好大一片，各种各样的鸟儿 飞来飞去，草甸，花朵，丛林 连鲁神也舍不得离开， 嘉瓦仓央嘉措也写诗赞美…… 总之，那叫荡热的，这里曾有过。”   “这罗布林卡，这宝贝园林， 他们会指着说这就是罗布林卡。 可是我们的如意之宝在哪里？ 空空荡荡的法座啊！ 就像失去了油脂的滋润， 暗淡无光，像蒙上了灰， 到处都是灰扑扑的， 灰扑扑的，去一次心碎一次…… 总之，那叫罗布林卡的，这里曾有过。”   他提及的油脂是句拉萨谚语， 意译为“失去了光泽”， 含有一种动听的音调， 我正思忖如何翻译更贴切， 却见他布满皱纹的脸上泪水长流， 随着泪水在低呼：“益西诺布， 益西诺布，益西诺布……” 许多日子过去了， 我仍常常想起这一幕。   2018-7-26，写于拉萨 （益西诺布：意为如意之宝，尊者达赖喇嘛的敬称之一）

即便如此，我還是認為不同民族文化孕育的人看到的是不同的世界，見過有「幹部」偷偷貼身珍藏著輾轉從印度得來的物件，見到不公的時候還會大膽說出一句黨也要講道理，即使其本人是黨員

在中国，批评体制是危险并被禁止的。而汉娜·阿伦特(Hannah Arendt)这位自由的思想家，如今在中国被视为一剂心灵的良药。阿伦特逝世50周年之际，有关她的一个展览正在北京德国文化中心·歌德学院（中国）举行。 👉p.dw.com/p/54phS

"I'm Big Joe. 58. Long-haul trucker. Been driving 18-wheelers for 34 years. Sleep in my cab. Eat at truck stops. Talk on CB radio to stay awake. Lonely job. But someone's gotta move America's stuff. Two years ago, I'm driving through Nebraska. 2 a.m. See a car pulled over. Hazards on. Woman standing outside. Looking scared. I pulled over. She backed away when she saw me. I'm 6'4", 280 pounds, covered in tattoos. I get it. "Ma'am, I'm not stopping to hurt you. I'm stopping to help. What's wrong?" Her car died. Phone dead. She'd been there three hours. Nobody stopped. "Where you headed?" "Hospital. Omaha. My daughter's in emergency surgery. I have to get there." No hesitation. "Get in. I'll take you." "In your truck?" "Safest vehicle on this highway." She hesitated. Then got in. Drove her 60 miles out of my way. Got her there in time. She hugged me hard. "Nobody stops anymore," she cried. "Thank you for seeing me." Got back on the road. Couldn't stop thinking about it. Got on the CB. Told other truckers. "We see everything out here. We should do something." Started a code. "Code Angel" we call it. When truckers see someone broken down, stranded, in trouble, we stop. We help. Word spread. Truckers across the country joined. Last year, we helped 1,200 people. Dead batteries. Out of gas. Medical emergencies. Domestic violence victims escaping. Runaways needing safe transport to shelters. We've got a network now. Truckers, CB radio, truck stops. Someone needs help? We mobilize. Saved six lives last year. People broken down in dangerous spots. Diabetics in crisis. A kidnapping victim we spotted and reported. But here's my favorite story. Last month, I'm at a truck stop. Young kid approaches me. Maybe 19. Scared. "Are you Big Joe?" "Yeah." "You know how to ride in a truck?" His eyes filled. "You'd help me?" "That's what we do." I didn't go to San Francisco. But I got him to a trucker who was. She took him the rest of the way. He made it. Safe. Now there's 4,000 truckers in Code Angel. We've got an app. Dispatchers. Resources. News called us "Guardian Angels of the Highway." But we're just truckers. Doing what's right. That woman in Nebraska? Her daughter survived surgery. She sends me Christmas cards every year. The kid I helped? He's in college now. Studying social work. Says he wants to help invisible people like truckers helped him. I'm Big Joe. I drive a truck. Sleep in parking lots. Smell like diesel. But I learned something. The loneliest roads are where people need help most. And the scariest-looking people are sometimes the ones who stop. So tomorrow, if you break down, if you're stranded, if you're running from something bad, Look for the trucks. We're watching. We're listening. We might look rough. But we'll get you home. Because the highway doesn't have to be lonely. Not when 4,000 truckers refuse to drive past people in trouble." . Let this story reach more hearts.... . Ai image is for demonstration purpose only. .
