Every time I return to Lamma Island in Hong Kong for a visit, I still feel so much at home. Yes, one has a lot more to do in Beijing, but the village atmosphere on Lamma never fails to put one at home as soon as one touches down at the pier.
And it's so clear and clean, perhaps especially so for somebody who is flown in from the polluted capital. Even it's the dusk before imminent thousand storm, the warm light peers through clouds and outlines such refined shapes of houses, boats, people with tender strokes.
I miss Lamma.
每次回到南丫岛,总觉得回了家。也许北京的确有更丰富多彩的生活,但是南丫岛好像一个村落的气氛总是在我踏上码头的那一刻,让我从无例外感觉到家一样的身心放松,
而且那里干净清澈,大概对一个刚刚从污染严重的北京飞来的人尤其如此。虽然雷暴随时就到,黄昏温暖的阳光仍然将村屋、船只、人用柔柔的光线勾出精致的轮廓。
我想念南丫岛。
