@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Welcome! 欢迎!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Welcome to my virtual home. This is a little private space for me to put my thoughts and share my feelings since 2005. Due to my wide range of interests, there are perhaps too many tags. I would explain some of the less obvious tags:

"About Life" is really about how I have been pondering about life and what enlightenments and paradigm shifts I had experienced.

"About Psi" contains most topics about happiness, optimism vs pessimism,
confidence, comparison, pride and prejudice and other psychological aspects.

"About Logical Thinking" is about my own way of interpretating and explaining
certain issues, aiming to debunk (or create?) superficialness of them.

"About Ideology" is about my thoughts on big concepts like freedom, justice,
fairness in society and religion.

"About Society" is more about my observations about the society, often through interactions with different peoples.

"My Country" reveals my frustration, critics and hope
on my homeland - Malaysia.

"My Little Pieces" has more short posts though mostly are written in Mandarin.

While I do have some posts on book reviews and business, I am planning to
separate them into author-specific and content-specific blogs. Stay tuned.

Enjoy your reading!

<书籍> 狮城往事


前几个星期借了这本书,一天看几页,最近终于看完。作者的文笔普通,但笔下的故事却格外珍贵,故事背景的年代相隔大半个世纪,当年往事对我来说非常陌生,一如时下发展对前人来说匪夷所思一样。

从细致地描述日常生活的衣、食、住、行,到回忆二战前后困苦搏斗的岁月,笔者带读者“进入一段陌生却属于我们的岁月,走入一个模糊却属于狮城的空间”。

其实,这些往事虽然发生在狮城,却不是仅仅属于狮城人的记忆,而是马新共同的记忆。无论在英治时期还是在昭南时代,马新都是作为一个整体被看待的,在同一片天空呼吸,在同样的气息下生活,用同样的步伐前进,被系在同样的命运之轮。当然,这些不过是题外话。

尽管这些事看似与我毫无相关,但我却认为,对历史长河仅有断裂的认识,多少会扭曲对当下生活的体验和局势发展的判断。而近代,相较于古代,更贴近地影响着时下,也更重要,却往往仍未盖棺定论而迷糊不清,所以这也是为何我说:这些往事是格外珍贵的。
