    为什么要移民。
    这是一个永恒未解的题目。英格兰人最早在18世纪时移入澳洲。在悉尼市郊的伊丽莎白庄园中,我们坐在通风门廊的藤椅上,眼前是茂盛的花园。繁茂青葱的树木花草。玫瑰。秋海棠。夹竹桃。栀子。石榴。热带。繁盛的热带。出生并且成在在西贡的杜拉斯,与热带有着强烈的归属感。她并不觉得自己远离家国。那么麦卡瑟中尉呢。背井离乡,在异国广袤的土地上建起了自己的房屋。安顿下来。那其实是另一种形式的美国梦。是加州梦想突然爆发出的呐喊。也是北大西洋咸湿的海风。也是远远的天际线。《喜福会》的故事不止于此,第一代移民所有的梦想,命运,艰辛,泪水,都被他们小心翼翼地藏在阁楼中。用浓重口音的英语告诉自己的孩子,你们只能讲最纯正的英语。家国的一切不如意都与你们无关。你们是这里的人。我要给你们最好的生活。
     
    也许他们身上都有文化撕裂的痕迹。他们之间有明显的断层。无法互相理解。第一代移民带着异文化来到新大陆,或许他们只是想过得好一点,或许他们是逃离战争和疾病,或许他们只是单纯要别离一种命运。但此时我暴露在澳洲灿烂的艳阳下,怀念起生于厮长于厮的那片土地,想起北京的种种。想起孟买时的心情和生活状态。那是一个空壳。外表的安逸满足并不能填补内心的空虚。也许这就是归属感。我恬静幸福地生活在这里。却没有一盏灯,是为我亮起。
    英格兰阴暗潮湿。澳洲的艳阳天似乎能穿透皮肤。晴朗,干燥的天气。伊丽莎白的心情必定如展开团成一团的皱纸般,沉静明朗。我仰慕这样的生活态度。掩盖了生活的阴暗面,永远面向蓝天和阳光。这似乎才是移民应持的秉性。忘却,也是一种生活态度。
