眠空

by Anni Baobei, 安妮宝贝

《安妮宝贝：眠空》是某种生发、循环、分解、消释。这些文字对我而言，如同把一枚铁钉敲入岩石，缓慢、坚定、持续、深入；也如同把一封书信投入大海，随手撒落，没有目的。它们是内心的一种知觉和清理。

About the author

Anni Baobei (安妮宝贝), or Annie Baby, real name Li Jie, is the most talked about and widely read female author in China, nicknamed ‘Flower in the Dark’ since her stories detail the loneliness and isolation of Chinese urbanites. Her candid yet sensitive reflections on contemporary city life have significantly influenced the generation of Chinese readers born during and after the 1980s. ‘I write for kindred souls,’ she once said.

Annie Baobei made her debut with the short story collection Goodbye Vivien, which sold over half a million copies, and followed up with the bestselling novels The Flower across the Bank and Two and Three Matters.

Her current bestselling novel, Lotus, is an emotionally charged love story set in Tibet. It has sold over half a million copies, and was the bestselling novel in China for weeks after it was published. She lives in Beijing, writing novels and essays as well as contributing regularly to Chinese magazines including Harvest, Writers and Elle.

2014年6月16日，安妮宝贝在她个人的微博上宣布，“安妮宝贝”改笔名“庆山”。
In 2014, Annie Baobei announced on her Weibo, "Anni Baobei changes pen name into Qing Shan"

This is the kind of book that proves that it is not just white women that go to the Himalayas to “find themselves” in an insufferable way. Some Chinese women have that tendency too. I am indebted to my mother who effectively emotionally terrorized me in middle school to NOT become like that when I was reading this book in my emo phase. I am grateful for her wisdom of what it means to truly live a good life, not just performatively living a good life.

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely think if you’re lucky enough in this lifetime and have a chance to go there with someone you love, it’d be a once in a lifetime sublime experience. But no, it does not make you a better person lol

信手拈来的两三事，熟悉的声音。

中学时期曾经对安妮宝贝着迷--喜欢她世界里的黑猫，白色亚麻上衣，抽着烟身形苗条的女人和剃平头干净的男孩 --一种不食烟火的缭绕。

好多年后又重拾这个声音，宝贝已经改名了，成了妈，自己也已经长大。但也许有些本质里的东西是不会变的，还是像漂泊多年，生活方式都变了，但回到家里却又是那样的自如。

文字里的还是那雨后的石板路，唇上发黏的口红，松散的大辫子，密密麻麻的湿热。有时不知所云，但是和老朋友坐坐无心地抱怨也无妨，可以任意的矫情，不需惶恐。

几次拿起读了几页又放下，今天又拿起，总算是读了1/3，但实在读不下去了。
