    Remembrance

     
     
     
    今天是什么日子？别跟我说是光棍节。今天是英国这里的remembrance day，也就是纪念打仗时候阵亡者的节日。中午11点，听说所有英国人得肃静两分钟，那时候我在睡觉。
     
    在学校里走动，看到不少衣服上别着Poppy的人走来走去，似乎纪念战争亡灵的确有全民意识，不错——当然在日本那就是另外回事了。是其实想想，英国这个小国家打过多少次仗？现代史上估计也就内次诺曼底D-Day死了不少人，不过无论怎样估计也比不过中国。但好歹别人有这么一个节日能够来纪念下，一年一度老百姓也知道往衣服上别个小红花，今天在美国叫veterans day，意思一样，总统也得在这个场合说几句，和平来之不易——无论心里到底打的是什么算盘，形式还是不错的。为什么咱们就没？不过说来也是，和平的价值如同一块蛋糕，就那么大，死的人越多，意义就分的越小，到最后结果就是不是和平因为更多的鲜血而更宝贵，而是付出的人命越来越贬值。
     
    美国当初911，惊天动地，甚至现在都成电影题材了。其实说回来，换国内一次矿难就全赶上了。但不会有人觉得什么，天天有人在死，再死也死不完。有时候真不知道生命的意义为什么会因为生命的泛滥而贬值，小时候曾经有一阵子特别怕死，当时看电视，特别受不了就是那些英雄侠客警察浪子出手伤人，一群虾兵蟹将围上来，大侠怒吼一声拔剑见血封喉，瞬时间几十条人命，或者紧要关头某阿sir说时迟那时快地果断开枪击毙毒枭。妈的，坏人的命不是命了，死了就放那，真是没有一点温情。
     
    有时候人命的意义很难用其死的目的去衡量，西方一直挺鄙视自杀，但耶稣基督有那能耐一声不吭吊死在十字架上，不是自杀又是什么？有人会说，那叫牺牲，因为你在为别人而死，是好的，就好比打仗，明知道会死人还是会去，打仗的目的不是为了杀人而杀人，而是为了不要更多人被杀。这么一说，很通顺，因为别人的确是替你去死了，于是纪念亡灵是应该的，无论生存者的利益到底是否是死者的利益，因为毕竟活着就需要去尊重生命的意义。这点中国人其实并不是太理解，因为别人说的牺牲，那是sacrifice，从词根上分析，sacrifice是含有神圣意味的（见同一词根的sacred），而中文的“牺牲”，其实是指摆在祭台前的那些猪头羊脑袋，是牲口命，无怪乎中国人一点都不惦念着革命前辈——当然说的那么绝对的确有失公允，还是经常有人想起来的，比如小学生春游之前，每人责令做N朵小白花，然后排个队形，敬个礼，然后在就近的公园草坪上打开袋装食品大口品尝，litter in peace。
     
    纪念的沉重不是小孩能理解的。
     
    曾有个叫陆游的人写了首诗，最后道：王师北定中原日，家祭无忘告乃翁。居然还被带上了爱国的高帽子。仔细体会体会个中小我，你会发现最后会失望地让人郁闷。
