粗略的看完了National Geographic 五月中国专号 . 又专门去店里买了两本, 准备带回中国. 刚在网上搜索发现中文版的好象在中国已同步发行.
来北美后换着订阅了多种杂志, 大多是随看随扔. 但我最为钟爱的是National Geographic. 即使不去翻阅它, 也是一本一本的妥善的收藏. 喜欢杂志美伦美奂的图片, 还有对自然与人文的客观均衡的态度; 以及他们孜孜不倦的对环保的倡导.
这期杂志的第181页是一位82岁的老人的照片, 我看了好久好久! 专刊上长段不一的文章在从各个不同的角度来透视中国的现状,还有在大红为底色的纸上用黑白粗笔字列出的一组组的统计数据, 读后颇有些触目惊心的感觉!
对祖国唯有祝福!

这是一个人人都会唱歌的村庄, 穿越小河的是造型别致的花桥. 还有从未听说过这样一种风俗: 每个孩子在出生时就选好一棵树! 那棵树会随你长大, 然后会被做成棺木, 等待你葬身其中. 有一张图片的注解是: Wu Lianlian shares a laugh with her mother beside her coffin tree, chosen for her at birth. If she follows tradition, she will have the tree cut down and carved to order when she reaches old age.
