Intimate Talk
with a Stranger
What is a talk? According to Longman dictionary which is my source
of all the confusions, talk as a noun means conversation. That's
it. We really started a conversation naturally.
It was fate that brought us
together.It happened yesterday at noon in a restaurant which is
located at the back of busy Central Street behind the famous Modern
Hotel. It' not quite big, but not quite small,yet quite quiet. Even
it was lunch time, only a few customers were there.
I had been
wondering the whole morning along the Central Street taking
pictures while waitig for the Brazilian family to come up. It was
cold. After eating a landbroad ("saike",Harbinese call it),a
traditional Harbin salty bread, I was not feeling well in my
stomach. So I wanted to have a bowl of noodles which is always my
favorite food when I am out of home.
I came
across this restaurant and went in. I chose the vegetarian noodles
which is really delicious. Quickly it was served. Because of the
coldness outside, I wanted to have it later. While I was waiting
for my noodles to get cool, I heard a lady ordering a bowl of
noodles which would be served with dressing not soup. The attendant
warned her the noodles would be a little hard. And the old lady
still was uncertain about her noodles. I interupted them and said
she could choose the same one as mine. It's nice. The old lady was
delighted to follow my suggestion and sat at my table. Naturally we
started to talk. But I really couldn't remember when and how she
began to talk about her personal life with a scholar in Beijing.
They were not married, but lived together as partners for nearly 9
years.Now she was driven back by the man's daughter.
This kind of
relationship is very popular among old Chinese. It doesn't mean the
old are open, but mean they want to avoid some duties, especially
for men. That is the part of Chinese men that I don't like. They
don't know love, they don't want to take some responsibilities,
they only want to preserve their properties,keep their money, and
have a free nanny for 24 hours! They don't want to lose, they want
to gain. I really look down upon them for these.
actually we
are strangers. We have never meet before. We didn't know each
other. I didn't ask her name and she didn't ask mine. But we had a
frank talk, especially her. She spoke out all her complaints about
the relationship. She was unhappy, she was a little bit hesitated
about their relationship, she needed suggestions, she wanted to be
listened to. I was chosen to be the listener.
As a
respond, I gave out my suggestions and encouraged her to leave the
man who didn't deserve her love, but her care.
That is men and women. Men
always want,women always give.
We talked for nearly one hour.
When we went out, I thought the old lady felt better.
Talks can heal. Strangers can
heal. Strangers are the safest people to talk with.They can keep
your secret and you can feel safty.
I have a
face that can be trusted by people.
The weather
was cold, but the talk was warm.
