The Wanderer



Jeany and I joined a reunion of schoolmates and listened  to an artist's speech.The speaker talked about the article "The wanderer" .His pictures mixed eastern and western coming from  that he suffered from an identity crisis.
He was born in China ,growing up in Taiwan.After graduated from university ,he studied and lived in Madrid of Spain for a long time .Then he went to America and obtained Citizenship.In deep mind,he asked himself," Where is my homeland?" " Will it be my address,my ID or my spirit?"
The wanderers who wander from place to place with no permanent home .Gypsy is considered the famous wandering race. But otherwise Chinese were taken off their homeland by war, poor ,natural harm or policy of Government and carried them on their way.Hardly due to explore or want to get freedom by his own spirit.It is different from Western people.
To wander is a romantic image in Chinese poetry.Most of people like the idea at heart but never to do in all their life.So do I.
流浪者
Jeany和我參加校友聚會,聽了一場藝術家的演講,主題是一流浪者。主講者談到他的畫融合東西方,來自於他的認同混淆。
他出生在中國,成長於台灣。大學畢業後留學西班牙,在馬德里住了很久。然後到了美國,取得美國公民。在內心深處,他常自問一何處是我家?是我的地址?國籍?還是我的心靈?
流浪者指的是從一個地方流浪到另一個地方,居無定所。吉普賽是最著名的流浪民族。儘管中國人歷代以來也曾因為戰爭,貧窮,自然災害或政府的政策而遷徙,但極少是自發性的為冒險或追求自由而離家背井,這跟西方人有很大的差異。
在中國的詩歌中,流浪是很浪漫的想像。許多人內心嚮往流浪,但終其一生不曾付諸行動,我就是。
