北京的雪、诗巫的鸟

在外国闯荡了廿多年后,终在八年前“叶落归根”,回到了生我长我的鹅江畔。景物依稀,人事已非;当时就耳闻此地出了个什么“宏愿队”,队员个个都是海外留学归来的精英中的“精英”;他们出类拔萃,名噪一时!更难能可贵的是,这个宏愿队伍提出了“宏伟”的发展地方的“三大方针”、“十大计划”,(比“三大纪律”、“八项注意”还多了两项)扬言要把这一座拉让江畔的小城建设成世外桃源,穷苦人的“人间天堂”!只听得刚从异乡归来的游子目瞪口呆,佩服得五体投地,一句话也说不出!(这里应该一提的是,在砂州城镇的排名序中,当时的诗巫好像还是第二,仅次于古晋。)

有几个“饱食终日,无所用心”的大炮仙,整天躲在友人的办公室里闭门“车大炮”;他们最知道口沫横飞地“夸夸其谈”,那是不费吹灰之力的。七八年过去了,先不管那“三大方针”是否还把握得稳(怕是不辨“东南西北”了?),却不知那“十大计划”又实现了哪几项?无须多谈具体的,我只知那喊了不知多少年的“升格为市”,不但未见落实,还将那“祖传”的第二把交椅,也拱手让位给后来居上的油城了!还怪人不捧场,让发展金全被“转移”去美里!

不少市民都有这样的看法:正在快速发展的民都鲁很快就要超越我们,而那“得天独厚”的“掌上明珠”硕莪城也正在笑眯眯地快马加鞭,要迎头赶上那懒洋洋的“老破船”!就连那远在拉让江口的丹章马尼也已摩拳擦掌、蠢蠢欲动,要把那“只说不做”的吹牛王踩在脚下!笔者的数学太差,还是有劳“天才”兄帮帮忙、算一算;若是如此这般地“宏愿”下去,那座燕子满天飞的“明日之市”究竟想坐第几把交椅??难道除了“炮声”隆隆外,所剩唯有漫天飞燕,屎臭遍地?!

最近,市民们又在为“罗马安大桥”之事议论纷纷,热闹得很!建桥筑路,造福万民,本是天大的喜事、善举;为何反而招来怨声载道,千夫所指?难道是我们又遇到了“不知感恩”之人,在那里无的放矢?问题是,建桥本为了便利交通;如果便利了陆上交通,却来妨碍水上交通,这又是哪门子的“逻辑”?有何难懂的“隐议程”?个中“奥秘”是否较明清科举考试时所用的“八股文”更难懂更“烦人”,(古文并不等于“八股文”,尚希明察!)可否有劳哪位高人前来指点一下迷津?货物经过转运后,自然增加了成本;本已面对百物涨价的市民,不又雪上加霜?如果此时我却在那里高喊,“又多了一座大桥,诗巫人实在太有福了,还不快快前来‘感恩’一番?”你不怪我在讲“鸟话”吗?

这几天正在收看电视上的《百家讲坛》节目,一个大学教授在谈《水浒传》里的黑旋风李逵。李逵虽然行事鲁莽,性情暴烈;却也是个行侠仗义,好打抱不平的血性汉子。由于粗鲁,生气时开口常喜用上那个“鸟”字。(此处应仍念“niao”,不要自作聪明把它改念成“diao”,切记切记。)听得多了,脑子里竟也塞满了“鸟事”!想想看,一个地方如果出了些“鸟人”,干了不少的“鸟事”;结果把一座好好的城市搞成燕子满天飞的“鸟城”,屎臭遍地,你说可惜不可惜?受这样的“鸟气”,令人“心烦”不心烦?!

后注:夏日炎炎,涂了篇“鸟文”,正苦没有好名字,看到了报上的新书推荐;模仿之下,乃得个好的“鸟名”,感激不尽。千万别问我那是什么意思,不瞒你说,我自己也摸不着头脑呢!

  1. What you say truly reflect the views of our people in Sibu particularly. People know only too well the new brandor rather of the bottle contains only the same old wine but they say let them retain the small presence of Chinese to retain the racial interest otherwise no more development etc.... Do you think Penang will go bankrupt just because Rocket is in charge. The castle building Zakaria can do more damage to Malacca than anybody else. These West Malayaians know better. When would the people here wake up and brush away the dung of the swallows to see their lands expiring and they are quite helpless. Sweep the dung to clean the Swallow town and better still sweep the new bottles wtih the old wine into the Rajang River... the river of no return !

  2. I think it is quite interesting to find out the Romaan bridge . Why the hurry and for whose interest ? If everything is done in the open people will learn and if right full support. It seems all the big projects are always done in dark or just simply given to interested groups without any tender or not even the slightest pretense of fairness at all. Wny are all the airodrones are contracted to big Ting and why all the major roads are constructed by and maintained at big costs to you-know-who????? To compare with other abuses, the swallow town trouble seems meagre matter .
