This piece of my work is entitled 'Narcissus' , but there's actually no narcissus here . No , I didn't make a mistake.
The Chinese subtitle is from a poetry '板桥晓别' by '李商隐' , quite some hundreds years ago .
'水仙欲上鲤鱼去,一夜芙蓉红泪多' .
I can't exactly get what it means , but it's generally like :The narcissus wants a ride on the carp away, water lily then has so much red tears overnight .

(I got the inspiration from recently a book I am reading , named 'The narcissus has left away riding on the carp' , by my favorite writer 张悦然 (zhang yue ran) . She's so young (3 yrs older than me) and so genius and so pretty . I love her writing so much . This is like an image from one of those chapters . I was trying to sketch my feelings , and the portrait of my mind then . )

I would love to call this girl as narcissus . That's a really lovely name .
Do you remember a story of narcissus ? A youth who pined away in love for his own image in a pool of water , he could never like any girl , but he just only loved himself so awfully lot , he couldn't stand it , and ended up jumping into the water and was transformed into the flower that bears his name , Narcissus . This is really a beautiful story , in my eye.

It's also a name that Zhangyueran the bereaved mother gave her unborn baby ...

  1.愿你记得来过,记得我们一起度过的短短岁月。

  2.愿你记得痛过,记得分别时我的不舍和无奈。

  3.愿你记得听过,记得一个从我到你,爱的轨迹画下的故事。

  一月六日,今天早上我们吃了烤吐司和杏子酱,这是我们最后的早餐,我的宝贝。

  有一天,我终于老了,那时你已长大,与我如今的模样相仿。而他们都走了——他们是一些曾对我重要的人,包括你的父亲。坐沉着的船离开,去向水底或者冷寂仙境。没有谁来得及看足谁的成长,没有谁真能陪谁翻山越险,抵达人生的极乐。他们不过都是我人生长长短短的段落,有一天,我也会成为你的段落,我的孩子。

孩子,你在秋天到来,像是一朵在天空中飞累了忽然决定降落的蒲公英,无知无觉地落在我的身体里。你是个特别安静懂事的孩子,你知道那时候我的生活一片忙乱,所以不让自己多给我一点麻烦,你手脚动得很轻微,也只在我睡觉的时候。所以,我第一次看到你,是在梦里。自从你到来,我反复做着放生鲤鱼的梦,艳丽,缥缈,宛如春好的月夜不灭的花灯。那时我还未得知你已到来,只有先行的梦给着某种飘忽不定的暗示。

  解梦的书上说,梦见鲤鱼是吉兆,不久,你便来了。你是寂寞的水底开出的一朵娇艳的珊瑚礁。我猜你是个女孩儿。喜欢给我制造小浪漫和艳丽的梦境。并且,你在我身体里给我一个长久对峙的力,像是一场拔河。这样的感觉非常奇妙,但我肯定,那是女子和女子之间的。你有时娇纵,有时宽容。我要叫你Narcissus,我的宝贝,因你应该像希腊神话中美少年纳瑟斯一样好看,有如水仙花瓣洁白的脸颊,并且总是浸在水中那样的清洌冰静。在我的梦里,鲤鱼游走了,你便来了,因此,你应当是生在水边的。并且我希望你懂得爱自己,赞美自己,在独处中找到乐趣。因你要知道,没有人能够一直伴你,当他们突然消失,你也不要紧张。你该学习自恋的纳瑟斯,他迷恋自己的影子,终日与影子纠缠玩耍,不知疲倦。

  我多么想带你去看看那个在温和日光里昏昏欲睡的古城,多么想给你买彩条旗帜一样花花绿绿的衣服,坐在茶几前面陪你玩积木和拼图。你开始会说话,声音清洌如泉水,你一定擅长讲故事,坐在秋千上,周围会坐一圈虔诚的小听众。但我不确定你是否如我一样喜欢悲剧故事,不动声色地看着小伙伴掉下难过的眼泪,心中沾沾自喜。等到你再长大一些,偶然的一天你在书柜里发现一本妈妈写的书,你会不会充满喜悦地叫着“妈妈,妈妈”向我跑过来。我看到你如试飞的小鸟,翅羽在日光下震颤。

  可是事实上我已经决定阻止你的到来。就是今天,下午三点之后,从我的身体里剥离。我们就这样道别,再无相聚。所以上面这些,不过是我的幻想罢了。孩子,你的妈妈是个女作家,以杜撰故事为生。她写过那么多的故事,从旧城墙上的女鬼到鹧鸪村的乱伦少年,从殉情的葵花到转世的黑猫,然而她的故事却没有一个是真的。她把别人的故事当自己的,她把自己的故事当别人的,因此她写别人故事的时候潸然泪下,然而过自己的生活时却麻木迟缓。
