随心所欲……

She is gone, leaving only a cell phone text message.
     "Lingering Yesrning life is love, sad or happy when people think of first is the wife, never marital love is inexhaustible sweet love, the love is not always be about the long-lasting love.
I think you and 11-7 ... "
     This is the one afternoon in the autumn, is a rest day. A light rain started falling outside, the wet land infants. A stranger to the mobile phone of such a message, I figured out later thorough, but some of the other places I am not unfamiliar. It was at college, I frequented a coffee bar and, it is a European construction, steep steep roof, red pottery tile, white walls, deeply hidden in the tall Betula forest. Significantly high in front of the windmill is its hallmark ornaments, windmills and water leisurely past always were turning slowly, like an old car pulled unconscious.
     I spent riding motorcycles for nearly half an hour to the work location outside the coffee. Along Highway 15 km milestone on the right fork a wide but not very clean asphalt Road, on February 3 minutes to be able to see that the coffee and that the tall windmills.
     The coffee house, located in the northern half of our city's suburbs. Here adjacent to the Yellow River, in addition to massive planting of White Birch is the white poplar for these rabbis verdant lush tall tree, a stretch of the golden autumn, as if the whole world is like gold brick. Our schools and several schools have the same level of this artificial cultivation in the forest accrue, groups of naive children live here, looking into 45 after leaving here. Most of these students are regulars here, it is these students who grow grass witness. Their anger, their secrets, their public, most interpretation here.
     Mr Yam forms into the coffee, gentle stretch Established was blowing from that this is a "Town Hall" my heart said.
     I like about phone messages, select the tables sit on the 4th. This table is relying on a window on the 4th, as colchicines Cleaner through windows of trains can be seen on a white birch tree trunks only "eyes", which in turn greatly, seems to be gleaned exploration in the secret room like this. Everywhere the tree-the golden birch leaves, the ground Yanqu all really live like ever.
    
     "" Seaside Star "", I told myself, services and swap music. Listen, can only think slightest touch of melancholy arises spontaneously, it seems that entered the night as the seaside, open boundless Atrium decked out with the words seemed to be the stars, followed broad mind, as if the world can be all inclusive in the inside, as if heaven and earth can communicate through the infinite stars.
    "Sir, you and others?" I do not know what time the woman has reached before the service.
    "Yes, people have to wait." I answered that. I hope to recover from the vision and immediate services to students. J colors suit skirts Tooling will not have a beautiful backdrop for Shuiling Ruyu girls really like colchicines pond in a light blue flowers of no ecstasy. What woman is beautiful? Temperament and called for the beautiful eyebrows.
    "If you are Mr. Daniel?"
     I surprised his face.
    "Zijun one called the President a letter to your left."
    "What? Zijun? "I asked.
     The service point nodded, then gave me a sealed letter no.
    "Thank you!"
     Yes Zijun! It felt familiar with the Jiezi ah well. She said in the letter that was supposed to 11-7, but it is worried about the delay aircraft, so hastily few words go. She said she has now gone, other things also give up clearly, the parents have proper placement. She said she would not stay in China, went to Hong Kong and then make their choices.
    No wonder that the message "I think you and 11-7 ..." I may have seen, there are the "Town Hall" "Seaside sky" I touch of melancholy linked ...

     That year is the time we graduated from university, is such a season, is such a climate is so afternoon, We in this coffee, but also the location, a final farewell. Zijun she wants to go home, she to go to the map of China nearby seaside home to see their parents. She said she might be with the parents of whom lifetime, we need to be persistent in a drunken colleague. In the end, she got really drinking, was asleep in my home one evening and a long morning. Afternoon, and I work in security for the safety of friends driven car with the work she was sent to the civil aircraft cabin.
     At the airport, we looked at 747 start down the runway, then a roar into the sky ... my mind a blank.
     She left the second Sunday, in the heart of loss I have received a letter from her, I really extremely delighted. Aviation envelopes, from the most The above map. She said, from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport after the plane, she her parents in Guangzhou Port Authority spent a night guest house, the next day at home by train.
     Later, she also used air envelope from the map of the The above letter, told me that she decided to stay on the map of the sea bottom to accompany their parents live. She hoped that I could go in there and she stayed in the seaside continue our professional teaching for a more results. She said that the sea is among those treasures how I would imagine, that there are fishermen and seaside living their lives, we are creating the source and material. At first hearing these words with a lack of appreciation of life, but we are studying the text, so we poetic language seems to be some romantic and far-fetched.
     Thus, our correspondence is coming constantly. We north me because she southward, from time to time the envelope from the air and fell to The above map, well-established product and destination Letter of Map The above.
    I yearn for the sea, because the sea not only makes me happy, let me experience in the secondary school textbooks "water dependent days," "Water Linked days," "water line days" real and spectacular. Sea Let me also be the spiritual purification, I realize a lot of philosophy of life, to understand a person's weight and energy, so that I will not dare to top everything, but the more I dislike people to a semi-official post, I rolled you hectare, more people to despise their own ends all means.
     Remember that the last century, "6 • 4" *** Square incident in early June that the second year, the Communist Youth League of life, together to Qingdao. In early summer the large seaside Laoshan no wind, no waves, away to the sea like a convex mirror, and see hazy days in the melting together. We entered the shallow waters of the play comes, the soldiers until the water breaking knee, the poems can not stand a person has a steady, though to their own stability, it is carried along with the HAI to shake to Huang, as mooring boats in the water. At that time, I wanted no such practice, the wind? Not the people swallowed without a trace ... This seems to be no limits along the sea front, we were able inconsequential?
     The next day, when we seized by World War II ** warships into a small ferry from Qingdao to Huangdao. Yuanwang way, the day is Lan Lan, seawater is away, "Water Dependent days," "Water Linked days," "water line days," Water and hugged each other in the days together. Watching watching my mind clear, the mind seems to have a lot of generosity, tolerance seems to be able to sea. Overlooking the sea, the green water down gradually until further down the dark black, not blue. Bohai Bay, the water so, other places, what? I would like to. In the river, the river spit to a spittle can see the ripples wash lap lap, I tried to spit a spittle in the ocean, not even a ripple. Looking at the sea I think that people fall back into the sea have ripple? Probably like an ant charged into a standard swimming pool, what is not, what will not.
     So, I became a minor gets the singing, it seems that nothing can let me worried, I could not sleep tossing and turning. I like Ai Fu • • Korea attended the "Gadfly" was written as "happy as a small rat."
     Since seen the sea, I always remind myself quiet life, working quietly and without dispute. Mt. Really, I seem to really understand the "empty-color color, color-air-to-air" as the essence.
     I write these tell her. She wrote that she is the share. She said that they where the sea is blue, clear even in the gravel seabed are Yade see. I told her, telling myself, I will definitely take a look at where they wanted to. They should be there in the Pacific West Coast, from close to the island of Taiwan.
     We two are romantic, but our parents are not with us, they do not care about our romantic.
     No matter how we go to school from the period, but I really love the married father strongly disagreed, because I was at home inside the eldest brothers and sisters, according to his idea, I should stay in their side. Parents know that she is alone Miao Miao, I fear they disappearing from the sea. Of course, if she comes to the house to welcome her, and could not consider age difference. We join her nearly two-year-old than I have. Then it. Of course, which I will not tell her. Because here at school, she came to our home is very popular. In her mind, even our love marriage, the family we are not opposed to their fathers.
     But she told me that her mother was opposed to the love between us, let alone marriage. The reason she is my mother than her two small, but the northerners, is the eldest in the family. Her mother said, we can be friends, can be beyond the ordinary relationship of friends, but is not married families north. This old lady, is really worthy of the southward trade union cadres, the crafty and cunning. Firmly opposed, can you not hate her. She said this is not the same, I can love, and her daughter, her daughter is not towed away, the time and geographical spacing between the spark we will slowly destroy eliminate Mody. She told me that she wanted me to, the time of her mother's reversed. She said her father also help her busy.
     Our home, I want to use this solution. I have my mother to help, Mom, I do not want to leave her, but as long as I am willing, she would not object.
     So we dragged a few years, she has not married, I did not find. Both parents are therefore very anxious. Sometimes both sides happy to let the elderly and listen to the parents of persuasion with a few back - but eventually turned down requests to a reasonable excuse.
     Time really is the angular can win, the parents are probably the two children filial piety, to boost trailers, even our two also discussed with the south or north, and must not lie. I hope she can move south, I hope she can go north. Always a topic of discussion, therefore, gradually fewer letters, a lot of people are calm.
     I do not know why, all of a sudden one day I actually pay attention to my parents from the head, there were varying degrees of white hair, their gait still far better off before, or even arm also has senile plaques. Really, they did to our brothers and sisters several dark, hard day and night, they would rather suffer, we do not want to aggrieved that makes us grow up well. I also think it has not firmly against their will in comparison. Furthermore, I can not seem old taffeta Zijun go, I went to the seaside can not, I can not she came here, is not to her life? Think about it or with their natural.
     When I make such a decision, I was wandering uncertain. I am really scared me the decision I had never seen Zijun, if I do not see that Zijun days and will be collapsed to the fall, everything seems to end.
     It is a father's friends come forward on his fellow townsman's daughter Yu, the father of his friend and fellow townsman awareness. In my aunt's anger, I met with the then-yu. I have always right Dasheng Cotton Mill not interested in girls, beautiful or ugly events, they too critical Hao-Shuang, too extensive. Yu-and this is the yarn women, I refuse to meet after meet for the second time, left no stay discourse. After a few days, my father's friends asked about this, I have not words. My father commissioned me to do my aunt mobilization. Naive me, I am sorry to dominate Hide statement circumstances, and then agreed to meet for the second time Yu. Yes meet for the second time go to the movies. I had to walk fast pace also, I deliberately in front of SARS, she has been behind the Trotting. What's the movie, I have no impression at all. So do I have to put her own Yu. To do so I have to her own Yu We do not propose to go, but Yu did not end contacts, I have to make do. Later, the contacts between us can well be imagined. I never asked her to eat a meal, twice a Street, received no kiss, no pull handle, not to those who try and sweet talk.
     Intermittent and I-yu was 23, during which I and son-jun also paid a courtesy letter from the year there are about 23.
     My people is very bad temper, but "occasionally reveal Stronger" only. Forced urgency, I will despite knowing that there are tigers tend Hushan Mountain trip.
     Yu-contact me and up to about six months, her parents to see me. Also dragging on for months, and I have agreed to see her parents. Afterwards, she told me that feedback, her parents think that my people too clever, not exchanges, the future she would not I, and I hope we end. I told her that the end can be, but her family to have a clear answer, too clever operator? Is her family hope that their son-in-law is not a fool? In addition I have my family how to explain? I asked Yu does not agree with the end, she not agree. Yu's family against the psychological repercussions let me passionate it, a man can not be such praise or criticism side of the Unnamed reasons sentence, if Yu's family say belittle my reasons, maybe I will open the Liao Tui. Things like this we will have been dragged down, but contacts have become more deeply than in the past and has more.
     By the third year, the two sides have some anxious parents, especially parents of Yu is some worry, we are all with a face of the first family, worried about our young control their own unexpected, and do not foothold before friends and relatives. I know that we will not, at least I have no desire, but vague in this regard.
     In any case, Yu's parents entrusted their fellow townsman ago, the matter of marriage, my family also gladly promised, this year set for October. Both parents are beginning Ming, no matter if I am the only person, as if everything is not my business.
     The two sides finalized the date to September this year, a very long time since I consider is how to Zijun note of this matter. I know that some of my heart-jun, not-yu. The repeated hesitation in repeatedly with a hesitant, Negation of Negation of the Negation of Negation, indecisive. In this day of the parade long inner spent.
     Things to this point, I would not be able to Zijun note. In the letter I was very vague and I invited her to a trip here to discuss about some things. I do not know when she their thoughts, in any case in which she felt she did not let me aware of what is always said that the Port Authority's trade union work very busy, it can be arranged in Ramalinga sabbaticals, she will come here again. Day by day is approaching, my letter has become even more unusual to left for the seaside, or vague, and still speak our future. September into the second week, I invite the more urgent, although the language in the letter is also a little vague but transparent. I hope she can understand my words to the letter, I can tell a clear answer.
     The letter was issued to, and I are waiting for the answer.
     All third week of registration can be done the day I pushed off all excuses.
     The fourth week, I will give themselves a set time, if received before Wednesday, a letter from the son-jun, that we Predestiny there were, no matter what she said to me after vetoed will be linked with her, whether it is going north or south. I will disregard all of the basic completion of the preparatory work to Yu farewell, but also whether Yu's family and my family how I treat.
     Monday passed, anxious hearts a blank space.
     Tuesday passed, anxious hearts a blank space.
     Wednesday morning, I reluctantly with Yu went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, take back the outside I do not know the severity of pages.
     Wednesday afternoon just to work on heard someone shout: "Daniel, you letters from the South." I suddenly collapsed in a chair in the office. God ah, really God? Why do you tease? I am sorry I did not you ah! Why? Why are you so casually arranged my life?
     Holding Zi Jun letter, I can not open the only two open heart, lost relative.
     ...
     Zi Jun said that she can sabbaticals in October, then come back to visit me and my family. ... In October! Ha ha Ha ha, in October! In October, I am where? Since that black Wednesday, I will no longer did not give a reply or son-jun wrote.

     Time flies. One year later, the son of my father to the seaside for the city-jun their organs extracted NISSAN imported cars, I went to Sundance sister. I will Zi Jun addresses and contact telephone numbers written for a younger sister to prepare for use when necessary. Zi Jun enthusiastically received my father and his party, take them visited the Port Authority, handling cargo terminal, also got in the ocean freighter visited a back. After their father told his mother that if I want to, can go to the South settlers, the son-jun family was not that bad, and son-jun or one person. These, of course, it is my father's and his party came back six months after the mother told me. I smiled and told his mother, said: "We were not Predestiny ah."
     But the past has passed on, and many things are irrecoverable. For example, I and son-jun.

     Today son-jun also willing to everything and the outside, we will be live for apart from each other, may Since then there was no more contact. Wall careful want to come, I do not know whether this is Farewell?

     Zi Jun abroad the second year, I become a free man.
     This is not my way, and Yu, because my self-esteem and vanity and she went to a flat, despite efforts to adapt to the other side to change its own, but ultimately failed. She and her family, I have only the knowledge that no skill, no money, no Stroll Through today's society, so ...
     I finally Yu and because some aspects of the weak points of the hand with a smile, all the property under a Yu. We have been liberated, especially me, I feel that after breaking up not only daytime darkness, only the sun does not haze, relaxed vitality, happiness and joyfulness.
     I finally free.
     But Zi Jun gone, my heart always ... can not forget that period of anxious, or perhaps I do not know when and where can we goodbye on the side of pain. Hearts.

        “我躺着，聼船底潺潺的水聲，知道我在走我的路。……我希望他們不再象我，又大家隔膜起來……然而我又不願意他們因爲要一氣，都如我的辛勤輾轉而生活，也不願意他們都如閏土的辛苦麻木而生活，也不願意都如別人的辛苦恣睢而生活，為我們所未經生活過的。”

     “我想：希望是本無所謂有，無所謂無的。這正如地上的路；其實地上本沒有路，走的人多了，也變成了路。”

      不知怎的，竟會想起魯迅先生《故鄉》中的這些話，儘管這是幾十年前讀過的，但它還是讓我記憶猶新。想想朋友們曾經談起的，有些改制企業中那些擁有些許股份的員工，被趁機發國有資產流失財的那些“惡霸”們頤指氣使地欺負，怒火中燒然又無可奈何。他們可以隨意地以需要的藉口，無限制地增加員工的工作量，無代價地命令員工加班加點。對和錯是以他們的意志為標準，法規和制度是以他們的懸河之口來定義。他們可以任意處置企業的資產的保留和出售，美其名曰置換不良資產。企業是大家的，然而大家卻沒有主權，命運卻被主宰。那些通過“運作”而掌握企業命運的“惡霸”們，排除異己，將自己的親戚好友安插進企業的神經中樞，逐步蠶食企業資財，最終將企業定性于他們個人的企業。爲什麽哦？看看企業中的那些員工，因爲這樣和那樣的原因，個個猶如魯迅筆下的閏土，猶如阿Q先生。

      當然，我們的時代已經不是魯迅先生生活的那個時代，我們的政治也不是魯迅先生那個時代的政治。大凡一個大的社會變革都是泥沙混流清濁為一，但泥沙終要沉澱，污濁終要消失，水終究是會清澈的。隨着國家法律法規的健全，隨着執法力度的加大，隨着人們法制意識的增強，國家的利益、人民的利益、企業的利益、個人的利益都會有一個合理的分配，社會各階層的和諧，人與人之間的和諧，都會有一個長足的發展。

      雖然有些改制企業的員工目前受到一些不平的待遇，"惡霸"還有淫威，但在社會各界的關注之下，法律法規逐漸健全的情況下，會很快得到糾正的。“因爲地上本沒有路，走的人多了，也變成了路。"

在的姐漂亮的玉手中雪铁龙服帖地奔跑在疏疏落落的细雨中，两边商店的灯火闪过，向车的尾部退去，不过速度并不快。轮胎碾在雨水上，唰唰地响……

“妹子，咱的手是不是抓紧方向盘？我可是怕、怕……”小D又一次感觉到了温暖的手在腿上滑动，渐渐地向根部游动。血液由低向高冲撞，以致于小D感到脸上象燃烧了似的发热。一次一次，那手越来越放肆。小D左手只好紧紧地握着那放肆的手，企图约束那手的游动。

“大哥，怕什么呢？怕老虎？还是老虎怕……？”的姐笑容如菊，甜甜地看了小D一眼，抽回被小D握着的右手放在排挡杆上。

“妹子啊，我怕的太多。我怕你嫂子，我怕你精力分散出问题，还……老虎怕呀。”

“大哥，你真的很有魅力的。就算……也愿意啊。难怪嫂子催你回家。不过不用怕，我已经是个十几年驾龄的驾驶员了。”

其实，小D也是一个热血男人，是一个健康的男人，做什么事情激情都很高。所以，小D极力地暗示自己不可盲动，不可浮萍顺水。认真看看眼前的的姐，浅浅地笑起来时，两只眼睛合成了两个弯弯的月牙儿。女人的漂亮么，各人有各人的特点，这特点就是她的魅力所在。眼前的的姐就是这样。

“妹子，你也很漂亮啊。”

“真的么？你也很会哄人呀。哈哈哈哈。”的姐的笑声是清朗的。她说着便伸手拧了一下小D。

“真的，真的的呀，妹子。”小D一边说着，一边抚揉着被拧疼的臀部。

“是呀，大哥，别人也是这样说的。”的姐幽幽地说着，目光望前看去。好象有着一种期望或者遗憾在记忆中。

的姐的外穿长袖T恤是白色的，不是紧身的那种，也不是宽松的那种，没有她人的胸衣毕露。显出的驼峰既不是软塌塌的，也不是硬撅撅的，适中。小D想，她很会修饰自己的呢。直直地看着，小D不仅眼馋，嘴竟也有些馋呢，禁不住咂了咂嘴。

“怎么了？刚吃过饭，还想吃东西呀？”的姐似乎看到了小D神情，猜透了小D的内心。她好象要抵挡寒冷了似的，用右手拽了拽大大的领口。

小D的眼睛还是向前望着车窗外边，但不听话的左手偷偷地伸向了的姐。的姐顿时僵直了上身，好象一个倒写的“厂”字，嘴微微地张着合不起来，连腿脚也不灵活了。车速立即慢了下来，幸亏是晚上，否则后边的车子就会追尾，或者喇叭齐鸣了。

雪铁龙走了会儿曲线，停在了路边。

“妹子，你、你、你怎么停下来了？不能停啊。”小D急急地说，手也停了下来。

“大哥，我坚持不了了，咱们找个地方吧。”的姐少气无力地回答。

“行啊，行啊，开起来，开起来，快开起来。”小D催促道。

雪铁龙又起动了，慢慢地走向路的中间。

两个人的各自一只手交叉在一起忙碌着，像两只采蜜的蜂儿。

的姐仍然僵直着上半个身子，呆板地驾驶着车辆，还不时地吸溜着嘴。小D像吱溜着醇酒，涨红着脸，慢慢地品味着，身子软软地仄歪着靠在座椅背上。

“湿了，湿了，我湿了。”的姐喃喃地说。

“吃了？我也吃了的。”小D故意地说。

……

“妹子，就到这儿吧。”雪铁龙行驶到了一个离家不远的路口，小D招呼的姐停车。

“到了？”的姐惊愕地问。“不是找地方的么？”

“改天吧，妹子。我今天有急事儿，改天吧。”小D信口雌黄地说。

的姐小心地慢慢地将车子靠在路边，长嘘一口气儿，虚弱地趴在方向盘上。“好吧，改天就改天吧。”

小D下了车，来到车子的右边，头伸进车窗：“妹子，多少钱啊？”

的姐头枕着方向盘，侧着脸看着小D，幽情地笑着：“算了，算了。”

“不行，不行。哪能就算了呢？”小D装腔作势地说。

“那，大哥，你就看着给吧。”的姐小声地说，仿佛有一种恳求在里边。望着小D的眸子流露出一种渴望的神情。

“好吧，今天带钱不多，把这零钱都给你吧。”小D将一张十元的人民币给了的姐。的姐顺手扔在了刚才小D坐过的座位上。

“妹子，再见。”

“大哥，再见。欢迎下次再坐我的车”的姐直起身子，整理一下有点儿皱乱的T恤，扬扬左手向小D告别。

望着渐渐离去的雪铁龙，小D又咂咂嘴……

    今天（3月30日）香港的天氣主要是晴。

    今天是自由活動，也是在香港的最后一天。我們的導遊說，香港的市場一般是上午11時左右開張。所以，我們在上午9點多鈡，離開青衣，每人花了3元港幣乘小巴前往葵芳，準備乘坐地鐵出遊。

    花了9港幣，由葵芳乘地鐵到了尖沙咀。

    我們漫步了維多利亞港北岸的“星光大道”，這是香港藝員的活動場所。在這裡的地面水泥板上，我們看到了成龍、周潤發、李連傑、張柏芝、張曼玉等藝員的簽名，甚至還有手印。還在李小龍的塑像前留了影。隨後，我們離開了鐘樓，轉入彌敦道。

    彌敦道是一條南北走向，貫穿九龍半島的大道。

    在這彌敦道上，我們路過了油尖旺區警察總部，見到了4對兒男女軍裝警察，和沒拉警笛的一輛警車以及鳴着警笛的一輛警車。這是我們來到香港3天來見到的警察情況。整個彌敦道上，車水馬龍，商店林立，人們熙來攘往，摩肩接踵，但兩邊樹木疏落，衛生一般。彌敦道給人的印象是有些閲歷豐富飽經滄桑，像一位蒼蒼的老人，顔面上刻有深深的歲月烙印。

    中午，在彌敦道右手的一條街上，我們9人走進了一家小餐館，在那裏每人用了18元港幣吃了一碗麵條。我的麵條是用米粉做的，粗粗的。配菜是包菜幫子，幾條肉絲，幾柄青菜葉，還有醬油水和鹹鹽。

    吃過午飯，我們重又轉上彌敦道，一直往北走。路上大家零零碎碎地買了些小東西。來到了廟街，又到了女人街。這是諸多個小商品市場中的兩個。這些個市場主要是飾品、包箱和服裝市場，就像鄭州原來的敦睦路服裝市場和黃河路服裝市場一樣。這裡通道狹窄，兩個人同時通過還要側身，按内地要求，這裡是沒有消防通道的，而且也沒有配備滅火器。當然，這裡的小商品質量是不敢恭維的。市場裏，人流如潮，人聲鼎沸，攢動的人頭充滿了各個角落。黃皮膚的，白皮膚的，黑皮膚的，棕皮膚的，哪裏的人都有，整個一個語言大鍋燴。當然，這裡還是内地遊客多些。

    晚上，準確地說應該是天剛擦黑，彌敦道上燈火燦爛，蝸居的人們湧向街頭，開始了購物或者散步或……。白天還算寬敞的道路，現在就顯得擁擠了，走路時需要側身讓人，否則就會發生踫撞的。好像這就應該是香港夜生活的一個場面。

    晚上8點鈡左右，我們用了7.5港幣，從油痲地地鐵站乘地鐵回到了葵芳。到了葵芳以後不知道去青衣的乘車地點。我詢問了停在路邊的警車上的警察，他指給了我們乘車地點。這輛警車只有他一個人。這是我們見的第9個警察，第3輛警車。

    夜裏9點來鈡，我們搭88G小巴回到了下榻地。

    廟街，是我看電視劇知道的地方，所以希望看一看，轉一轉。

    廟街有一座天后古祠，相依的還有城隍廟，觀音樓社墰以及書院。這裡，香火鼎盛，青煙繚繞，金碧輝煌。門前是一個足球場大的休閒廣場。廣場上種植着數十棵年代久遠的榕樹。大樹下有水泥做成長椅。四周還種植着灌木植物。這裡來的人們，有一個人閑坐養神的，有聊天的，由下象棋的，有打撲克的，也有吸毒的人。老人多，年輕人少。有一點像鄭州的大石橋金水河畔。

    這裡衛生條件不是很好，但絕對沒有痰跡和碎紙屑，也沒有煙頭。在香港，隨地吐痰是要罰金1000元以上的港幣的，在不能吸煙的地方吸煙要罰金600元以上港幣的。這里裡所有的東西都顯得破舊，好像我們内地沒有改造過的小城區。包括公共衛生間也是。不過到公共衛生間，不用自備衛生紙，方便后可以用自來水洗洗手。衛生間隔間的擋板上，卻是妙筆生花文采飛揚，好像一本百科全書。感情香港也有廁所文化呀。

    在廣場上，我和一位老先生交談了很長時間，讓我對香港的老百姓有了一點點了解。老人告訴我，廟街這裡的社會治安情況，並不像電視劇裏所描寫的那樣，其實很好的，經常見不到警察，只有聯係他們才會有警察來到。老人告訴我，廟街這裡大多數居民是低收入的一般市民，他們的住房都是政府供給的。這裡的物價，相對淺水灣等地還是便宜的。老人說，如果自己來港可以住在這一帶，花100港幣就可以住一天的。老人說，他的退休工資為每月2700元港幣，當然這是為政府做事才有的。老人家年過60嵗，政府還每月補貼800元港幣。老人家說，他們用水每月定量為每人3噸，超出部分由自己掏錢。用電是要自己掏錢的，而且較貴。老人希望，條件允許的話，有朝一日能夠回到内地看一看，轉一轉。我注意到，老人家讓我抽煙時，他的香煙是良友牌進口煙。我想，這在香港可能是比較廉價的香煙了。
