他非常喜歡看香港功夫電話,去年聖誕假期他便一口氣在亞馬遜訂了幾套八十年代的香港動作片,他很喜歡皇家師姐,洪金寶也是他很喜歡的武打明星。我介紹他看《九龍城寨》的預告片段,他一眼便認出了「三毛」(Sanmo是洪金寶的英文綽號)。我跟他分享看完電影後受鄉愁所困,他給我以下的話:
Nostalgia for a time and place is bittersweet and the longing and desire to return to something that is almost unattainable is often more painful than living in the present. As with everything else, a balance has to be struck between the old and the new. Maybe immerse yourself in mother nature's beautiful countryside and gardens. Everyone has to have their retreat and solitude to recharge themselves and escape from the negative energy of an imperfect world. Immerse yourself but in moderation. I'm sure you will find a balance my friend.
他明白我,因為他同樣受鄉愁所困。即使他在這裡土生土長,但地方變遷太快,他同樣難以適應。他常說老去之後便在花園搭建一個庇護所,離群索居,樂得清淨。因此,他很高興我在他的花園種豆種菜,向自給自足的路邁進。我也希望我可以寄情於大自然之中,繼續向園藝之路進發。
