忧心
去国后，几次几次的回北京，默默地看她变化。北京人都以北京为傲，但夸了门面后，也一定埋怨几句。热水煮青蛙，他们习惯了。我这不时的过客，看得忧心。 空气就别提了，朋友家三居室二百多米大，放了五个滤清器，没天没地的滤。停两天孩子就喘气又出疹子。滤网狠心买，有时还缺货，孩子的卧房一定开，客厅晚上就停了。出了城到河北，高速路边的广告牌，居然说“这里有呼吸的自由”。 朋友家的阿姨，住的地方传出禽流感。一下全家慌了，叫她别来家事没人干，来了又怕感染。说是这回不会人际传染，但是“我们能不小心点吗？”言下之意，把非典时代的记忆挖出来了，报纸电视说的，不一定。咱们小心点呗。 河北的农民，肥料政府给，不要钱。于是几十年来，土化验是强碱，废了。没肥料种不了任何东西。知道的人只买远地而来的“有机菜”，一周菜钱数千。没办法，要命还是要钱？ 化学肥料养成强碱的土，成了工业废料，下雨全流进饮水源。我们人不敢喝，能给鸡鸭鱼猪牛喝瓶装水吗？有机饲料给它们吃吗？没事，给它们打针，猛打就不生病。怕了？你也可以只吃有机肉或进口肉。 全北京的人，都在隐隐的怕，默默的等，一天天的过日子。今天轮到不能开车挤地铁，明天注意不能吃鸡鸭，后天换空气滤网。放假敢紧跑去“自由呼吸”的地方。帮帮忙吧！

The Power of Conversations
I have never gone to Davos, but World Economic Forum happened in Beijing several times and I attended then. They were the most invigorating conversations I ever had. It was a pompous mission statement: “To improve the state of the … Continue reading

Here in China, over a meal, they asked, “You live in America. Why don’t you own guns?” The general impression is that every Americans owns guns. Many Washingtonians do. This state has very liberal gun laws. It seems that everyone … Continue reading
