Yueyin,

Thanks for sharing the wonderful video clips. You sure are a brave soul, driving such a treacherous route in the snow like that!

BTW, with all the publicity of a number of climbers losing their lives back-to-back summiting Mt. Everest lately, I was poking around on the subject and came upon this series of YouTube videos, uploaded by a couple named Kara and Nate, chronicling their on-going hike in the Himalayas. Judging by the number of likes, many others find the clips pretty interesting too.

逼下“梁山” May 25, 2016

Steve,

我不是勇敢,而是出于无奈,被逼下“梁山”。 头几天都是晴空万里,但那天早上我在旅馆看天气预报时才得知,当天有特大暴风雪。于是,我赶紧打道回府,希望在大雪来临之前赶到家。后来上了高速公路,雪越下越大,而且下到地面就部分地融化,使得路面更滑。几乎所有的车都只敢以约15 MPH的速度行驶。稍微开得快些的就开到路边沟里去了。一路上车祸不计其数。我总算是安全到了家。

假装在喜马拉雅山上 May 25, 2016

Steve,

Thanks for sharing these interesting videos about the Mt. Everest!

我那天在山上就想起了喜马拉雅山。通往顶峰的道路仍未开放,但仍有人骑自行车去了顶峰。我照相所在处的海拔高度已接近4000米。

我觉得孙先生穿林海跨雪原不逊于007 SPECTRE。如果再用 Video Editor 配上乐,那就更 BOND(棒)了;
比如用《智取威虎山》那段打虎上山就挺好。

作家杨绛今晨于北京协和医院逝世,享年 105 岁。

杨绛前日传出病危,其保母曾表示她只是「轻度肺炎及肠梗阻住院」,强调杨绛身体逐渐恢复,可惜终于仍不敌病魔。其离世的消息,由中国国家发展及改革委员会规划司副司长周南,今早于微信朋友圈发放。周南表示,「杨先生今天凌晨一点走了,一家三口终于在天国团圆。先生一路走好!」

杨绛是钱锺书之妻,本名杨季康,1911 年出生于北京,毕业于苏州东吴大学。入读北京清华研究院时,她与钱锺书相识结成夫妇,二人婚后育有一女──钱瑗。身兼作家、戏剧家、翻译家的杨绛,曾先后任教于上海震旦女子大学、清华大学,并通晓英、法、西班牙三种外语,曾直接从原文翻译《堂吉诃德》。

一家深受文革之苦

一如许多知识分子,杨绛与家人在文革时期受到打压迫害,其外国文学研究被指成「反动学术权威」,她与丈夫钱锺书一同打成「牛鬼蛇神」。1969 年,她被下放至河南省的「五七干校」,后来她将这段日子的经历写成名作《干校六记》。

文革虽然发生在五十年前,但对这三口之家的影响却是一生一世。杨绛曾在当时被安排去扫厕所。爱卫生的她,把厕所打扫得干干净净,物品摆放整齐,而且通风透气。红卫兵来整她时,她就躲入女厕所避难。她又曾在关于丈夫的大字报下另贴小字报,为钱锺书澄清他没有反革命行径。结果杨绛因此被拉到千人大会上示威,要求她讲清楚,甚至押她去游街。

钱锺书与杨绛的女儿钱瑗既有一对被批作「牛鬼蛇神」的父母,生活不得不小心翼翼免犯政治错误。杨绛曾忆述,钱瑗回家看望两老时,就得先写好一张大字报,和「牛鬼蛇神」的父母划清界线,贴在墙上。那段日子,钱锺书夫妻存款被冻结,每月只有生活费若干元,生活都靠女儿的工资贴补,让杨绛非常心疼。至于钱瑗的丈夫王德一则不幸因被批斗,不堪压力悬樑自杀。事件对钱家造成无法复元的伤痛。

然而无论环境如何,钱家对学问的追求依然不减。就连钱锺书被下放到「五七干校」勞动的时候,他的行李箱裡也忘不了放上几本字典、词典。文革期间,钱锺书完成了名作《管锥编》,杨绛完成了《堂·吉诃德》的翻译。1978 年,《堂·吉诃德》中译本出版,西班牙国王正好访问中国,邓小平就把这本书送给了他。

最贤的妻,最才的女

杨绛最为人津津乐道的,就是她与丈夫及女儿一家三口的故事。她曾自言「我与钱锺书是志同道合的夫妻。我们当初正是因为两人都酷爱文学,痴迷读书而互相吸引走到一起的。锺书说他『没有大的志气,只想贡献一生,做做学问。』这点和我志趣相同。」钱锺书曾形容她是「最贤的妻,最才的女」。

后人对钱锺书比较熟悉,主要是因为他的名作《围城》,但其实杨绛成名要比她丈夫早。早在钱锺书未为人所识的时候,杨绛的剧本已经搬演于舞台上,当时钱锺书还被人介绍为「杨绛的丈夫」。不过杨绛亦曾自言,她的作品与《围城》无法比拟。

她与钱锺书的感情是有名深厚。谈到爱情,杨绛说:「在物质至上的时代潮流下,想提醒年轻的朋友,男女结合最最重要的是感情,双方互相理解的程度,理解深才能互相欣赏吸引、支持和鼓励,两情相悦。」

「我以为,夫妻间最重要的是朋友关系,即使不能做知心的朋友,也该是能做得伴侣的朋友或互相尊重的伴侣。门当户对及其他,并不重要。」

令人悲痛的是,钱锺书与钱瑗先后在 1997 及 1998 年因病离世。杨绛因此一度暂停所有工作,平日更是深居简出。直至 2004 年,她年过九十出版散文集《我们仨》,记叙一家三口的生活情状,流露爱与痛的回忆。她曾直书,目睹至亲相继离开,感叹家不成家,称之为「做了一个长达万里的梦」。

这位在清朝覆亡之前出生的女性,经过推翻帝制建立共和、两次世界大战之后,又遭逢政治斗争的劫难。晚年,她又经历至亲先后离世。然而百岁回首,杨绛没一点抱怨。2011 年,杨绛已为百岁老人,她如此道:「我今年一百岁,已经走到了人生的边缘,我无法确知自己还能往前走多远,寿命是不由自主的,但我很清楚我快『回家』了。...我心静如水,我该平和地迎接每一天,过好每一天,准备回家。」

追思杨绛,一点回忆 May 28, 2016

这么多年来一直都在为杨绛先生印书,但只去看过她和钱锺书先生一次。

那是一九八八年,刚出来做出版,杨先生的小说《洗澡》完稿后,交董秀玉带了来香港,因书中影射了社科院的人,要先在香港出版印行。那时香港三联还出版了《将饮茶》《干校六记》(英译本,中文版最早由广角镜出版)等等,董秀玉让我带上稿费跟她去三里河,用意当然是满足一下我这个

这么多年来一直都在为杨绛先生印书,但只去看过她和钱锺书先生一次。

那是一九八八年,刚出来做出版,杨先生的小说《洗澡》完稿后,交董秀玉带了来香港,因书中影射了社科院的人,要先在香港出版印行。那时香港三联还出版了《将饮茶》《干校六记》(英译本,中文版最早由广角镜出版)等等,董秀玉让我带上稿费跟她去三里河,用意当然是满足一下我这个崇拜者求见两位高人的愿望。那时候想见高人的实在太多,但几乎都会碰钉子,因为钱先生一直都践履着他的名言,说的是距小说出版的几十年后,《围城》名声大噪,记者纷纷要求面访,钱先生不胜其扰之余,说:爱吃鸡蛋,何必非要看下蛋的老母鸡呢。

三里河钱家,就是《我们仨》里写到、我们后来在照片中都看到的模样,墙上挂的好像是王文治临米南宫的书轴:「滁天下佳山水,且少过客。足称高怀,但恐赐环在迩,不能久彼游也。」客厅只有一排不高的书柜,玻璃书柜里面都是线装书和文房四宝,书柜上层是一排厚厚的外文书和辞典,有新有旧,但并不多,我们都听说过,钱先生读借回来的书,不喜藏书。有一张写字枱,枱面右边是一大堆拆过看过的来信,墨砚未干,钱先生说这一大堆都是拣选出来需要回覆的,摇头苦笑说每天覆信任务愈来愈繁重苦不堪言。

那天显然因为董秀玉是自己人,完全是在家里的感觉,钱先生谈笑风生、妙语连珠,可惜我是时实在太嫩太笨,很多都跟不上听不懂。就连说到新近的人和事也不全明白,比如说,不知怎么说到费孝通,钱先生大大的揶揄一番,还说到了清华时期费怎么追求杨绛的陈年旧事,而我是很后来才知道这里箇中微妙的;又比如说,钱评点我们同样尊敬的李泽厚和他的《美的历程》,嘻笑用兵,当时觉得有点太不留情面的;而对当时风风火火的文化流派(譬如「走向未来」、「文化:中国与世界」、「中国文化书院」等等),虽然我们手脚并用介绍,钱先生像姜太公,微微笑着不动于衷,始终未置一词。至于我们应该跟哪些学者约稿,组译些什么书,钱先生更是摇手谦说自己早已不过问世事,记得后来只轻描淡写的说,他刚读过《纽约时报》畅销书榜 Allan Bloom 的 The Closing of the American Mind,有点意思。建议我们找人翻译出来出个中文版。

我们缠着要稿不放,钱先生招架不住,遂推杨先生出来,说杨先生刚写好的《花花儿》好,钱先生更抄录了几首《槐聚诗存》,说是内容跟《花花儿》一文相关,聊备续貂,他甘于作为杨先生的附录云云。钱先生幽默风趣,杨先生则默默的没有说话,只静静的坐着看着钱先生笑,时而在大家闲谈停顿时,跟董秀玉聊聊外调香港习惯与否,孩子留在北京怎么安排等等。那次除了送稿费,在杨先生从旁协助之下,我们还完成了两个不可能的任务,一是钱先生答应支持我们筹办中的《文化中国》杂志并任编委,另一是钱先生出山,主编一套一百种的丛书,就是后来享誉学界的「中国近代学术名著丛书」。

至于再后来,董秀玉让我在香港为杨先生出版《我们仨》《干校六记》《钱锺书先生百年诞辰纪念文集》等等,另文再谈。

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" May 31, 2016


http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mount-everest-climbers-cory-richards-adrian-ballinger-talk-success-and-failure/


Cory Richards:

I hate to say it, but, yes, reaching the top is important. Adrian is disappointed. It’s my job to know that disappointment, respect it, and not gloss over it. But at the same time, the summit really was the most inconsequential piece of the whole puzzle. I was there for three minutes, failed at Snapchat, and walked down. And I was happier to get back to 8,300 meters and see Adrian than I was on top. Yes, the summit matters, but also, it really doesn’t.

Life in the People’s Republic of WeChat
My full (and mostly successful) immersion in China’s everything app.

Dune Lawrence
June 9, 2016

I’ve had WeChat on my phone since a vacation to Beijing last year, when friends there essentially ordered me to download it. More than 760 million people use it regularly worldwide; it’s basically how people in China communicate now. It’s actually a lot of trouble not to use WeChat when you’re there, and socially weird, like refusing to wear shoes.

In China, 90 percent of internet users connect online through a mobile device, and those people on average spend more than a third of their internet time in WeChat. It’s fundamentally a messaging app, but it also serves many of the functions of PayPal, Yelp, Facebook, Uber, Amazon, Expedia, Slack, Spotify, Tinder, and more. People use WeChat to pay rent, locate parking, invest, make a doctor’s appointment, find a one-night stand, donate to charity. The police in Shenzhen pay rewards through WeChat to people who rat out traffic violators—through WeChat.
