我已不能让青春连着大地

文/张悦然

青年文摘·彩版2009年第3幕后

    80一代,初懂事时看到的世界都是新鲜的东西,琳琅满目,应接不暇。在日本漫画和香港电视剧里度过了孤独的童年,西方流行乐像单车一样伴随他们上学放学,肯德基和麦当劳是最好的犒赏。一时间,所有东西都是进口的,进口的代表一种品质保证,是一种发誓要与父辈陈旧落伍的生活划清界限的决心。

    人们都在说,“80后”是有个性的一代,而许多“80后”也显露出对70年代人的那种以群体方式发出声音的不屑。但是这种个性究竟是什么呢?这一代人,听着欧美摇滚乐、看着村上春树和杜拉斯的小说长大,他们很注重在阅读、音乐以及电影等方面吸收国外的新鲜事物。“80后”最初的文学创作中,充斥着各种外国品牌、乐队和导演的名字。

    他们还从中得到一种情绪,垮掉的、孤独、颓废并且厌倦的情绪。这种情绪没有成为我们的精神力量,倒是成为不求上进的借口。我们就是从这些当中,找到了自己的个性吗?是的,整个青春期,鉴赏力代替了创造力,制造出繁盛的幻觉。

    这一代人,还常常流露出盲从,突然就陷入狂热而亢奋状态的幼稚。当“80后”通过抵制家乐福超市来表达对法国的不满时,我的MSN联系人名单,忽如一夜春风来般地纷纷在名字前面加了一颗红心和“China”。那种高涨的热情,令人恐惧。而这种爱国情绪,根本经不起推敲。

    我总有一种担心,若干年后回顾过去的时候,这些青春的记忆是否让我们觉得羞愧。因为所有的热爱都没有根基,也没有精神力量。它们像某个名牌的回顾画册,展现着一年又一年的流行风尚。我有两个生于70年代的朋友,大学的时候是同学,这么多年过去,还是最好的朋友。可是他们看起来完全不同,性格、爱好以及生活环境,都不一样。将他们牵系在一起的,是理想。将来要一起捐几座希望小学,还打算等到有一天把两个人的藏书合起来,捐一个小型的图书馆。为此他们努力赚钱,用心收集各种图书。他们的友谊, “80后”恐怕是无法理解的,这样的理想也离他们很远。无怪乎曾有另一位70年代的朋友质疑我们这代人的友谊,说看起来很肤浅,只是为了做伴,一起吃喝玩乐。我竭力反驳他,却很心虚。因为和朋友在一起,我们的确都是玩乐。

    成年后我们最大的愿望就是,卸去肩上万事过于负责的重压。因为不知道自己可以承受多重。

    我们的自由可能过了头,没有连着大地的根系。这,是我们的对,还是不对?

 

 

 

编辑意见——

    繁华却不接地气的青春,造就浮躁、肤浅、自负和盲目。80后拒绝沉重,无法咽下理想、信仰这样的大名词,只是蜗居在自己的小世界中。

   

主编意见——

浮躁不代表没有理想,另类不一定缺乏责任感。是时代造就了他们的不能承受之轻,时间会为他们正名。

   

2009年第2期“幕后”文章《对不起,我不抵制法国货》

 

选用读者评论——

抵制法国货是一种爱国诉求的表达方式,比如说1999年美国轰炸我国驻南使馆时学生的爱国游行。但抵制并非根本目的,重要的是表明一种态度:我们对你们这样做或这样说很不满意。

(成磊)

 

我们清楚地知道,我们每一次的呼喊只不过是别人茶余饭后的谈资。但是,作为下一个时代的接班人,我们如果在这种时候都还要以沉默来面对强国的欺压,就对不起身体里流淌的华民族的热血。对不起,我要用我的精神抵制法国货。

(韦鲲鹏)

I shouldn't let the Youth attach the earth

By Yueran Zhang

Youth digest·Color versionthe No.3 of 2009"Backstage"

As "after 80s generation",when we begin to be sensible,we see the world is full of new and fresh,an eyes of goodies,more to find than can ever be found.We weather through our disconsolate childhood in company of Japan cartoon and HongKong teleplay.The westen pop music like the rigid vehicle acompany us to go to school and after school.The KFC and Mcdonald's become our best reward.At that moment,all goods are imported,which stand for a kind of quality assurance,and the sworn determination of drawing a clear line with elder generation's outdated and antiquated life.

"after 80s generation" have strong personality,and many of them appear to disdain to the 70s generation who live in a colony life-style.However,what's the personality about?The after 80s generation listen the Music Vidoes of Rock&Roll,read the novels by CunshangChunshu(CC) and Duras,and then grow up day by day.They pay attention to absorb the fresh things in read,music,movie,and other aspect.The initial literature creating of "after 80s generation" are flooded by a variety of foreign brands,bands,and director's names.

They also find a kind of emotion——beat,lonely,dispirited and bored emotion.This emotion become our excuse of making no effort to seek progress,rather than the spiritual strength.Do we find the personality from it?Yes,the percipient substitude the creative in our whole Youthhood,so that make a prosperous pink elephants.

The after 80s generation often follow like sheep,and they are easily to fall into the fanatic and excited condition.When "after 80s generation" stem the torrent of Carrefour to express critical of France,many of my MSN friends add one heart and "China" in front of their name one after another.The rising emotion is horrible.Actually,this kind of patriotic feelings can't bear to weith at all.

I'm always afraid that whether we will feel ashamed by the memory of youth when we recall the past.All of the passion are short of foundation and spirit strength,just like a famous-brand review picture album which exhibits fashion and custom year by year.I have two friends born in the 70s,they are classmates in their university,and they are still best friends today.Although they seem to so different each other,and their character,hobbies and living condition are also not the same.It's ideality that connect them.They want to contribute to several Project Hope primary school,and they aslo plan to contribute to establish a library by combining their collections of books.So they strive to earn money,and are at pains to collect all kinds of books.Maybe "after 80s generation" can't understand their friendship,and think that ideality are far from them.No wonder,one of my 70s friends has doubted our friendship of my generation,it seems that we are so superficial,and we are together just for companion,beer and skittles.I was so guilty to retort.The fact is that we are just like it.

When I grow up,my greatest wish is to discharge the stress of much more responsibility.I don't know how much I can afford.

Maybe our freedom have been overhead,and have not the root system to attach the earth.Are we right,or wrong?
