柳絮纷飞的初春，咱们猪家四兄妹又拖家带口的在杭州小聚。一晃十一个年头过去了，我们又去了之江，路过了拉面馆和黑心超市，还有当年唯一的女生宿舍楼，忆起了当年鹏鹏绞尽脑汁追驷群的典故。篮球场还是那个篮球场，可惜老大不是那个拉风少年，再不能摸到篮板啦，嘻嘻（据说猪头炯还是可以的）。我们的怀旧之旅在老浙大的小乐惠画上了完美的句话--在接近关门的时候大声的告诉师傅们我们10年前就在这里吃过饭哦，然后将10块钱一个的炒菜吃得酣畅流离，自然10年前他们三个男生喝倒在厕所而我完好无损的故事又要重提，哈哈哈哈。飞飞终于又有了稳定的女朋友，可喜可贺！

 

杭州的春天真是美，满眼绿色，满城青翠，桃花樱花杏花争相报春。正是採茶季节，带着斗笠的茶农行在茶树间。绿色怎么可以有那么多层次？年轻的张扬的绿，壮年的沉稳的绿，黄昏的最后一滴翠，绿了我的眼，暖了我的心。交通之声广播还是那么温馨，提醒司机们有发烧的小孩，大出血的病人需要送去医院，请给他们让个道。走过白沙泉，两旁高大而密实的梧桐树结满了黄色的粒状花絮。风一起，黄色的纱雾在整条街上跳舞。西溪湿地是新开发的，号称杭州之肾，雾气朦胧，是湿漉漉的美。中国文化里肾是很重要的，所以请千万保护好杭州的重要器官哦。武林城中处处是景，吴侬软语温柔亲切，生活在这里的人儿真是让人羡慕。

Hangzhou vs. Hong Kong

Both are rich. Zhejiang province is the richest province in China since a thousand years ago and all its capital concentrates in Hangzhou. HK is a tax heaven for the richest people in the world. Both are friendly, probably the two most friendly cities in China (if you don't think HK is friendly, it's because you never tried the mainland!). One big difference, Hangzhou people don't read One Weekly (壹周刊). They have much better newspapers and magazines. I randomly picked up a newspaper in hangzhou and it talked about J.D. Salinger for two whole pages and listed links to his short story collection. How helpful is that?! Metro HK is the worst Metro among all...never a single article in depth. Metro Boston is bad as well but they still have some obnoxious comments that make you hate or laugh at them (but still, they have their own views!). I know it's a free newspaper and all but cannot they just be more professional?

 

I grew up watching Cantonese movies and reading Louis Cha's Kung Fu novels. They were funny and stroies were well told. Plus, cinematography was so much better than any Chinese movie back then. And now, who still watch Catonese movies except the local crowd? The government talks about getting Shenzhen kids to come to HK schools "to attract more talents" and flying police to Canada to investigate Edison Chen. Oh, well, maybe they can invest more in local art and design, especially media to restore HK's cultural charm.
