    祖国

        匆匆忙忙赶到爱丁堡。

        路过乍得首都的时候,照例去香港饭店吃饭。餐厅不大不小,没有华丽的装潢,但却是最热闹的中餐厅。老板娘来自上海,一眼就看的出来她的精明能干。她在外面闯荡了十几年,事业从开饭店开始,随后雄心勃勃的尝试过多种经营,甚至包括跑到某个叽里呱啦岛上投资捕鱼,不过最后她还是回到了她的小饭店。

        这里总是我最放松的地方,从来不用看菜单,其实我也不从来不点菜单上的菜。大家太熟了,走进去,在吧台坐下,自然会挑新鲜的菜炒好端上来。她们不忙的时候,还可以一起聊天看电视,这次就赶上了奥运会闭幕式。这里只有个印度体育台转播,于是他们每隔15分钟就滚动插播一下他们唯一的那块金牌。老板娘可怜我没看上开幕式,就趁每次阿三滚动出场的时候给我描述开幕式的节目。看的出来,她是从心底里喜欢。闭幕式最后的时刻,镜头切换到航拍。绚丽的礼花腾空而起,鸟巢和水立方周围的灯火灿烂通明。这灯火太美了,说实话,太美了。有几秒钟我仿佛产生了幻觉,眼前看到的就像是童话里的水晶宫。高清电视信号不错,印度解说员一字一句的描述:“这就是北京,这就是中国……”。饭店里鸦雀无声,各种肤色的人丢下饭碗围在我们身后。我突发神经,回头对着他们说“Look! it is OUR country.” 眼角瞥了一下老板娘,她竟然流泪了。

        走过美洲、非洲、中东、欧洲,处处都有中国人的身影。但稍稍了解一下就发现,活在异乡的他们都很不容易,外人看到的只是光鲜,谁又知背后有多少艰难。所有的华人都叫做Chinese,无论是拿了绿卡还是入了别籍,有些东西竟然是永远没法改变的。祖国,这个在国内快变成笑话的词语在他们心中,而且是在很深很深的心底里却有着实实在在的意义。
