回到上海，在上屋咖啡与李国通，周晓吃饭。做为中国院士的候选，做为王选，倪光南的接班人，李国通向我布道了三个小时。学校时略显木讷的他，此刻气宇轩昂，神采飞扬。中西汇融，旁证博引，最后彻底把我侃晕。

第二天中午，在淮海中路重庆路口屋企汤馆与周向阳一起吃中饭。

后到亚洲第一高塔－东方明珠塔，领略新兴的国际化大都会。

晚上在一家日本料理，红旗飘飘请客。生牛肉（刺身），中国式的肥牛火锅－大和民族改良版，及此次回来喝道的最好的啤酒－朝日，麒麟和日本生啤。

上次与红旗飘飘见面是在 Melbourne。她一个人到澳洲自助逍遥游。胆子可真大。

“水光潋滟晴方好，山色空蒙雨亦奇。欲把西湖比西子，淡妆浓抹总相宜”。

自 1992 年５６所实习期间游览过杭州新旧十景后，十四年后重游故地。

1992年前第一次游览西湖旧十景，新十景时雷峰塔还淹没于一堆荒黄垒土之中。而且那时，重建雷峰塔的喧嚣之声还不绝於耳。２００１年，雷峰塔地宫的开启，千年历史之迷团揭开，轰动海内外华人世界。白娘子与许仙的浪漫传说，演绎着中国版 Titanic 的传奇。这一切无不吸引慕名雷峰塔而来，登高一望，饱览全面改革开放后的新杭州。

“古塔风姿，夙为各方所爱赏；湖山胜景，例当盛世而重开”。雷峰塔重建记中这段话概括了亿万炎黄子孙对如今盛世中国的无比自豪与骄傲。只有今天的中国，才有物力，人力，财力与实力，才有信心去实现百年的民族梦想。

第二天，又去看了六和塔和钱塘江。钱塘江两岸，已不是一望无际的农田，取而代之的是高耸现代化的居民楼，宽阔的滨江路，完美设计的绿区，和浩浩殇殇的江水，令人心随荡漾的海风，那一刻，我真有了置身“天堂”的 feeling。And this is a absolutely beautiful feeling…

崇安寺是无锡老城区的核心。经数年的修拓，内部的步行街已与周围的 shopping mall 合融为一。早已不是原来十四年前，孤影老衲，靠卖门票来维系的“国家重点文物保护单位”了。

在上海没有见到周向阳，却在无锡逮儿个正着。又是一番少不了的吃喝，吹牛。

晚上送周向阳回上海后，又和周丹平继续腐败－百度娱乐。震耳的 Disco 中，年青的异类们品着加冰的 Johnny Walker Black Label （不知真懂还是假懂）和掺了雪碧的长城干红（stooges!）; 两位正品则玩掷骰子，罚喝 B-52 鸡尾酒，一种可以被点燃的“混合炸药”.

又回到曾经生活战斗过的地方－江南计算所，青山秀水依旧，但人已非昔。农家 family restaurant 的“阿黄”似乎还认得我，我一入门便吠个不停。还好，这次它在笼里，我在笼外。

见到了黄宇光，现在已是博士加领导。中国正是奇缺象这样懂技术，会管理的人才。

下午游览鼋头渚。晚上打 badminton. 自然少不了吃饭，喝酒和腐败…

不识腐败真面木，只缘不由己，身在此中。想想中国那么多下岗，那么多毕业找不到理想工作的，还有那么多有着美好理想，但面临着残酷现实的人，有如刚毕业时的你我。当今的腐败就是创造工作，就是造福社会，就是为和谐社会做贡献。所以，花党的钱时不要脸红，不要手紧，政府的 money 就是人民的币。就此打住…

雨中同里

钱华 tells me 同里被中国国家地理评为十大中国小镇之首，远远高于闻名海外的周庄。同里正好在去吴江的路上。可惜天公不做美，如毛的细雨持续下个不停。

同里 － 古朴秀雅的典型江南水乡，以“小桥，流水，人家”的水乡特色，人文景观的悠久历史而蚩声海内外。

退思园建于清光绪十一年至十三年（公元 1885 一 1887 年），园主任兰生，因人弹劾被革职，取名“退思”以期补过。退思园的花园以水为中心，建筑、假山沿水边布置，建筑多贴水而筑，突出了水面的汪洋之势，故有“贴水园”的美称。退思园水面处理独到之处就是水与建筑的紧密、贴进，整个园子象浮在水上，与其他园林相比，平添一分动感。

Tongli is a typical waterside down in south of Yangtze River, primitive simple and beautiful. It becomes famous at home and aboard for both its characters of waterside land, like foot bridge, crossing waterway and dwelling house, and long history of human landscape. Tongli enjoys the title of Oriental Venice, Exhibition Hall of Building of Ming and Qing Dynasties and Natural Photostudio. The scenic spots that have been opened to public amount to nearly 20 places, such as Garden of Seclusion and Meditations, Chongben Hall, Jiayin Hall, Genegle Hall, Historic Cultural Display Hall, Luoxingzhou Island, Chen Qubing’s Former Residence, Pearl Pagoda, Songshiwu Garden, Chinese Sexual Culture Museum, Gufeng Garden, Xiaodian Lake Forest Park, etc. Both Tong Li and Garden of Seculision and Meditations bear several laurels: One of National Top Thirteen Scenic Spots in Taihu Scenic Area, National AAAA Grade Scenic Area, State Public Healthy Town, Famous Historic and Cultural Town in China, National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit and World Culture Heritage.

Garden of Seclution and Mediations, built in the 11th to 13th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, was a private garden belong to Ren Lansheng, an official in charge of defense over the regions of Feng, Ying, Liu, Liu and Si. Occupying a land of 9 mu and 8 fen, the building broke through the convention in its structure, i.e. changing the lengthwise arrangement into transverse one. From west to east, there are residence, courtyard and garden, where the pavilions, terraces and open halls are distributed.

参观同里后钱华 drives his car lifting me 直奔无锡。从来没见到如此之好的 infrastructure – 公路。中国的 hardware 真是突飞猛进，现在只差软件 – software。For example, 吴江到无锡 70 km 四十分钟的 driving, 却花了两个多小时。虽有车载 GPS, 钱华一路上也是不断超速 (speeding), 闯红灯, 不看路标行使, 但马路上像 Ricky Qian 这样的艺高胆大的司机实在是太多了，hehe…

终于在上海等到了一个天晴的日子，钱华，刘晋，钱多多和我中午乘车到淮海中路的黔香阁。

王瑛玫，欧阳燕，周晓 show up.

自四年前同学聚会之后，感觉女同桌们越发苗条，越发妩媚。男同桌们则越来越胖。钱华，周晓除外，毕竟都是“苦大仇深”的。

中午吃的只能用 fantastic! 来形容。

谈完生意，吃完饭，来个 pose。

周晓和我饭后参观了上海博物院，外滩，人民英雄纪念塔。重温上下五千年的中国历史，反思近代民族的屈辱，缅怀革命先烈的奋斗精神。周晓对我的爱国主义再教育，及时而且深刻。

Night before the departing, my life is just miserable. Have to get everything settled down, cleaning up at home, head to bed around 2 o’clock, and have to get up at 4 am to catch up 8:40 am’s plane.

Fortunately I don’t oversleep, actually it’s hard fall into sleep all night.
Get up right on time after I set up alarm clock both on my mobile and clock radio in case. It’s summer time in Melbourne, still very dark outside. Lucky the temperature in the early morning is about 13 degree. My destination Shanghai in China is about minus 1 degree right now so I put on all the Winter’s clothing on.

Catch first shift tram No.1 to Melbourne city, waiting in the transfer station for 20 minutes and switch to another tram No.96 to the Southern Cross station. Skybus shuttle bus services 30 minutes per shift. It only takes 20 minutes to Melbourne Airport, arrived around 6 am, 天边已泛鱼肚白.

Aimless roaming in the not full airport hall, browsing perfume and wine list on the shelves under the high security guarded shopping assistants. Finally, check in. When the plane takes off to the sky, it’s already near 9:30, almost one hour behind the schedule. China Eastern Airline’s reputation damned again, poor services and always not on time.

After two hours flying, plane lands in the Sydney Airport. And I find out this plane shared route code with other four Qantas and other China Eastern Airlines eventually. So this plane carry people from Shanghai to Sydney, who transmit in Melbourne, people from Melbourne to Sydney to other routes, and people like me from Melbourne to Sydney to Shanghai.

Although without checking out luggage in Sydney Airport, situation are getting worse and into chaos. Boarding gate changed temporarily, so a lot people don’t realise until the last minute. When I pass check point, and find my seat has already been taken by another passenger, I can’t believe my ears when I am told my ticket is NOT valid. So have to wait for another 15 minutes to allocate seat.

Oh my god, I don’t know when my poor planned trip will end, I already start beginning curse myself. However, after I find my seat at the back half the plane, I just can’t wipe the smile from my face. I remember I booked economy class. My seat is one step away the Emergency Exit door, although I have no plan to be first one jump off the plane, the legs room for this row seats are just blessed. I can stench my body like I’m sleeping on the sky bed. I don’t think you can be better off even if you are in business class lounge.

Hallelujah!!!

又是新的一年，我越看越不明白，
本想多多回贴，5460 让人无奈，
不是烦人贼慢，就是出错歇菜，
终于成功登录，又骗你付 a little bit high，
标榜服务社会，实际上还不如个乞丐，
免费舒适的有人不用，花钱去挤 5460“特快”(对不起楚蓓蓓，说你呢 )
姆指替代了键盘，短信开始人见人爱，
书信可以写得让人不明不白，
GGJJDDMM 能成为“同龄”关系的替代，
郭磊讲话越看越像台上说教的领导，(对不起郭磊)
颜岳军灌水却越看越像风雅的诗人，(对不起颜岳军)
地球越转越快，一年又有许多新的期待，
钞票要多来，身体又要不能赖，
不是我不明白，只是怨 Old Time，Good Time 不再。

遥祝大家新春快乐
