一句頂一萬句

by Liu Zhenyun, 劉震雲

沒有神的世界裡，人只能一輩子都在尋找，尋找一個人，和他說一句知心的話，一個人內心的洪流，其實已經足夠淹沒整個世界﹗──劉震雲從《手機》的真話之難尋與說謊之必要，到《我叫劉躍進》人際間的偶然與必然，鬼馬作家劉震雲費時三年創作《一句頂一萬句》為生而為人，「覓知音」之必要。賣豆腐的楊百順與工人牛愛國祖孫兩人不約而同地失去生命唯一能吐露心聲的知音後，傷心之餘下，一個出走，一個回歸，他們尋尋覓覓，與不同的人說不同的話，試圖表達內心的矛盾與無助。從荒野的鄉村到繁忙的大都會，由20世紀中葉到新世紀初，不論是高高在上的縣長、鎮長，還是老師、理髮師、屠夫、染坊工、傳教士等尋常百姓，當說話成了唯一的溝通管道，語言又無法直達核心，孤獨便永遠如影隨形！尋常人的事件，串連成不平凡的故事。中國大陸首刷四十萬冊，劉震雲說這是目前為止，他最滿意的作品。
