New matei returned from holiday for three months, the original excited as the tide has a recede. Just in the tired when the hassles of travel occasionally, think of a partner, too, one thing, and then, hang down all smile.
Two days before looking through photos of accidentally at that time, and he saw a photo of, suddenly want to write something. The main purpose was to recall this like a book, but also mixed with some of his own emotion.
He is my six days in Thailand tour guide, is
Chicago Cubs Jerseyshuang. The third generation of Chinese immigrants, hold a belt of minnan cavity mandarin, not tall, color is black, the age of 40 years old. From his style of conversation can feel he is a learned man, he talks with a little at the ends of the earth through, but also difficult to mask a chamber enthusiasm for life. The way he gave us many explanation, language style and changeful, sometimes concise and simple, and sometimes humorous, he sometimes say some of the unhealthy tendencies of the black jest, let a person feel some smile after heavy; Sometimes can use light tone say some incendiary remarks, but the strange thing is that, the more he tried not to impose mo chongcai, more show boundless lasting appeal. Actually every good tour guide is a speaker. He as a had seniority, inside course of study is very famous tourist guide, even more so.
The car when I swim Thailand side to write to the car travels in one side of the street crazy clap, although to his lecture is very interested, but to tell you the truth really listen and much, listen to go in and to remember the is even less. The people I always want to do a lot of things at the same time, but I really don't have that skill.
His lecture can always draws the waves of people silently sigh or laugh, but I because of busy their own things, always don't get on the car of the person in the exclamation or what smile what, but he speaks of "life eight bitter" quickly took hold me, he said an eight bitter life buddhists. The first four is bitter and death, after four bitter is: do you want to do most things are always can't do, your most treasured children tend to lose, you hate people are always to meet, and you love the most, but you can't and he (she) together. At that time I take this a few words to remember my travel on this, but I know, even without this book, I will remember it. So intriguing of few words, how could I forget?
He of the group of tourists is very good, is almost answer their questions, on demand. The days I just sick, lymphatic inflammation, badly burned, he will take Thailand's enterprise to I eat detoxification Dan; Also in the massage gave me a bottle of grass oil, say that is spent can reduce inflammation, he patiently charged me not to eat watermelon to eat more guava, because watermelon is mad......
In the end we in Thailand trip to part, he told us a story, sing a song. He sings very passionate, is what song do I already don't remember, but the story I clearly remember.
He spoke of, have one hundred frog in at the bottom of a well stay boring, want to climb to the well see the outside world outside what kind, and they began to climb, climb a little while, a frog said, "it's a little too hot, well, let's not go." So there are 25 frog stopped. The rest of the frog continued to climb. After a while, and hear a frog say: "the outside as if really hot, let's forget it." And he is 25 frog stopped. The rest of the frog some hesitated, but still not ready to continue to climb. Climb for a bit, then a frog speech: "outside is hot, I seem to feel the heat of outside netting......." So, finally forced to the batch of frog also beat a way to return to mansion. Only a small frog to climb to the mouth of the well and it see outside the blue sky, green green grass, very happy.
Stop here he asked visitors: "you know it just held on to the last little frog, what is the frog?"
"Is a deaf frog." I echo answered. I'm thinking the speed of response with me are some surprised, I doubt if they heard the story, but did not.
After the answer I continued to buried themselves in seat to see Mr. Huang I voted to recognition of vision. He said: "yes, it is a deaf frog, it can't hear people say, so it can hold out until the last. Want to do is to do a good job, don't care what people say."
Afterwards I come to think of it, I think I can quickly come up with an answer, perhaps and I own experience about. I start from last February, the right ear for tinnitus, never persist. Sometimes I make fun of yourself is half of the deaf. He said the only deaf frog, am I? Have been so concerned about what others view of I, suddenly tinnitus, this in some mystical suggest that what? And I imagine that he said life of one of the eight bitter a bitter, want to do most things are always can't do. Why? Is it because we worry too much, for example, we too care about others' opinion?
No wonder at me with his eyes, total feel his eyes have a thorough XiJinQianHua clear, he must have the story attunements me!
At the airport when we were he to wave, I suddenly understood something.
Some overlap, although very short, but can use lifetime to a; Some overlap, although very long, but never from a mountain distance.
Some feelings, just one look, and can be learned; And some feelings, and though his face hangs sweet smile, but each other in the mind suspect each other.
Some people, you and he quickly met and quickly separate, come to the almost by, and although both know and never won't have any contact, but you have put him as you good teachers, your friend. Some people, you get along with him ten years in twenty years, or even a lifetime, you are only between a passer-by and stranger b.
And he waved jokes and everybody when said a words: "to separate, life is there are so many helpless, love, love takes takes."
The so-called "/ love," he had told us, is life of eight bitter that comment, you love the most, but you can't with him.
