他们的笔端，掠过了我的南京 Their Point Has Flashed Across My Nanjing

南京没有一线城市的发达，也没有中小城市的静谧，和所有二线城市一样，它被步步紧逼的现代化建设搞的不伦不类。但是，我依旧深爱着它。时不时，哪怕在文字里瞥到它，不管是底色还是旧影，都让我心生微澜。
Without the prosperity of the first-tier cities, nor the tranquility of the middle and small cities, Nanjing was pushed to modernization neither fish nor fowl just as the same as any other second-tier cities. Nevertheless, I am still fond of it. Now or then, wherever I glanced the characters of it, whether it's the background or the flash, i felt sentiment.
魏微写过一个短篇，叫做《从南京始发》。小说大概四十来页。场景展转各地。小城来的晓风，是一个法学博士，他年轻，有盛大的欲望，不安于室（这个室是指，恩，怎么说呢，人群背后的书斋生活吧），也不安于市（他的小城）。他在城市之间奔走，不惜出卖自己的身体，青春和灵魂，去依傍一个老女人，只为了在闹市租一套房，晓风和大城市之间是爱很交加，北京的官僚气息，上海的商业气息，都让他抵触。这些城市都与他性格不合，他最后又回到南京。
Wei Wei once wrote a short novel, read as Starting from Nanjing. It was around 40 pages, and the scenes were here and there. Xiao Feng from a small town was a Juris Doctor, young and ambitious, not satisfied to common life,( here, common life means the study life behind the crowd.)nor fit in the small town. He was travelling between the cities regardless of his body, youth or soul to rely on an old lady just to rent an apartment in the downtown. Xiao Feng had loves and hates toward big cities, he could not reject the bureaucracy of Beijing or the merchandism of Shanghai. However, he could not agree with those cities, he went back to Nanjing at last.
魏微挺喜欢在小说里提及南京，她说"这是一个内向，安静，而淡泊的城市，所以，我选择留在这里生活，是个性使然"——我真的觉得，南京那种不上不下，有点知性又市井的都市感，挺配这个小说，生活中的魏微，也是一个离组织和集体很远，一点点沉入日常的人。她早年住在北固山，就在我每天转车的中央门附近，火车站和汽车站近在咫尺，年节的时候，满面风尘的外地人，熙熙攘攘如洪流。那是一个市井喧嚣之地。我一直记得她在文章里写，站在烟尘之上的阳台，抱臂望野眼，看人流和小贩做生意，晚上下楼吃宵夜，欣叹摊主一家人劳作的默契……这个对市井隔离又亲近的姿态，像张爱玲。
Nanjing was mentioned in Wei Wei's novel out of favor. She said it's a diffident, quiet and simple city, and she chose to stay there out of her personality. In my point of view, Nanjing was neither big nor small, a modern city with intellectuality and marketplace, very suitable for the novel. Wei Wei in life was an ordinary man a little bit distant from society and group. She lived in Beigushan in her early stage, near the Centra gate where i travelled daily, close to the train station and bus station. When it came to the festivals, there were crowded with outsiders, crowd as flood. That's a crowded marketplace. I can still think of what she mentioned in the novel, standing on the balcony above the dust, hugging oneself and overlapping, watching the stream of people and pedlars doing business. In the evening go downstair and have some late snack and feel the connection of the stall owner's hardness... This sentiment of isolation and closeness is very much alike Zhang Ailing.
南京本土产的作家，其实并不多，有一个是叶灵风。我很被他的乡土观打动。不是魏微那种恬静深邃，叶灵风念及家乡时，率性粗糙的热情，倒是有点“南京大萝卜”。此人晚年寓居香港，但是一看到什么金陵物事，哪怕是地方志，药材，都热烈的买回去，然后著文详解。很多旧时风物，比如夏日配了腌制的莴苣圆吃茶淘饭，剔了肉的螃蟹壳子薰成面具做室内装饰。这些他津津乐道的，为我等当代南京人向往不已。
The writers of Nanjing local were rare, one of which is Ye Lingfeng. I was deeply impressed by his localism. Not the same as Wei Wei's stillness, Ye Lingfeng's straight uncovered passion when considering his hometown was more like Nanjing's Big carrot. He habitant in Hongkong in his late years, but he always bought everything that was related to Jin Ling(Nanjing), no matter what it was, chorography, herbs, and he just bought back home and make explanations for them. Many outdated stuff, such as salted lettuce with rice in Summer, and the crab shell without meat steamed to be the inner decoration. He was always pleased to talk about them, which was the endless desire for our modern Nanjing citizens.
看叶灵风的格物草木书，会觉得他很博学，而且洞悉八卦。是“涉世”的书生。但是，叶的活泼世情里，带着冷寂之味。有篇是写茑萝“有一年夏天，家里住在城南冷落的一条街上。日子过的清苦而寂寞，我就在小小的天井里，种了一些茑萝，打发了一个夏天。那些细小的，嫣红色烛型花，以及松枝一样的细叶。令我特别欢喜。我常常在阶下枯坐很久，怎么也看不见它们有攀动的痕迹。可是睡了一大觉起来，它已经爬了半尺多（叶灵风《夏天的花》）”
When penetrating into Ye's Phenomena of nature vegetation, you would notice his wide knowledge, and his insight to the Eight Trigram. He was very well-informed. However, you might also sense a loneliness behind the compassion. There was an article written about cypress vine-- One Summer, while living in one lonely street in the South part of the town, i lived a hard and lonely life. So i planted some cypress vine in the little patio which killed a Summer time. Those tinny bright red candled flowers and leaves as fine as the pine needles made me raptured. I often sat on the stone stage for long, but never saw their growing up. However, i often found them shoot a lot after an overnight sleep. ( Quoted from Flowers in Summer by Ye Lingfeng.)
因为这文，我去城南特地留意，叶灵凤的故居旧址是九儿巷，即现在的长乐路，靠近夫子庙，现在那里极为喧闹。市声鼎沸，很难想象小天井里种茑萝那种淡静风味了。不过把场景移到老城南那些苔迹斑斑的破巷深处，倒还行——但是你别说，就这么一段，一下子让我嗅到了老南京的体味。
I went to Ye's old yard in the South part of the town because of that article. His yard used to be Jiu'er Street, now named Changle Road, close to the Confucius Temple, which is very busy and rumpus. It is so crowded that you could not even imagine the tranquility of that cypress vine days any more. If you move the scene to the old Southern town, where full of mossy broken lanes, it will do. Speak of it, i could even smell the Old Nanjing.
