Dream: 11 January, 2004
A band of peasant farmers
is on a street corner playing their hearts out
behind their backs someone says:
this is a copy of some foreign contemporary music piece
I listen quietly
as if listening to the sound of a waterfall in a mountain valley
I listen with all of my being
guessing at what the progressions will be
it is surprising how these peasant farmers can fine-tune their instruments to imitate the valley East wind
In my heart I think to myself
Peasant farmers' music sure is incredible

梦二〇〇四年一月十一日
一个农民乐队
正在街头认真演奏
身后有人说
这是模仿国外当代音乐大师作品
我静听
如见那山谷中的瀑布声
我极力听
猜它的程序是什么
只见农民仍然在做好每一个谷风机箱的细小环节
心里想
农民音乐真厉害
