Live and Play Like a Child

This is one of the heart-touching moments captured at the Beijing Way Experience.We live and play like a child. The world is so big, with so many different faces, different places, whereas the world is also so small, we all have the same heart, a child-like heart.The intimacy between people, the most deep and soft part is kept in everyone’s heart.

这是“北京味儿体验”打动人心的时时刻刻。我们活着,玩着,像个孩子一样。这个世界好大,有那么多不同的面孔,那么多不同的地方。但是这个世界又好小,我们都有一样的心,一颗孩童般的心。人与人之间的亲近,最深最柔弱的那部分保存在我们每一个人的心中。

A few years ago, Kai and I went to Paris and stayed overnight at my friend Matilde’s home, right next to Versailles. We walked to her apartment at dusk, it was a very old apartment, I still remember the creaking steps nowadays. We had a “Cheese banquet” at home and Matilde strongly recommended us to try all her favorite cheese. Even we were not big fan of cheese, we started to like it. We tasted wine, sang songs, played with her little boy Mael, and even talked with him with my little French. By the time we woke up the next morning, a room key was left to us and Matilde went to work already. It was one of the most beautiful memories in our life.

几年前,老赵和我去了趟巴黎,在我的朋友Matilde家过夜。她家所在的公寓,毗邻凡尔赛宫。黄昏时分,我们溜达到这幢老房子前,我至今还记得爬楼梯时,咯吱咯吱的响声。我们在家里享受了一顿奶酪大餐,Matilde极力推荐她所热爱的各种口味奶酪。尽管我们对奶酪没有那么有赶脚,架不住她的热情,也开始喜欢尝试。我们喝着小酒,唱起了歌,和Matilde的儿子Mael玩耍,竟然和Mael用我那蹩脚的法语聊起了天。第二天一早醒来,发现Matilde已经上班去了,家门钥匙留给了我们。那是我们人生中最美好的回忆之一。

Another time, we visited Qinghai and got lost in a National Park. A Tibetan family offered us a place to stay. A Granny turning a prayer wheel in her hand in the bed, asked her grandson to bring a huge bason of roasted potatos to the table in front of us, and a lot of buttered tea. We sat around the bonfire and chatted the night away. If Kai had not had too much buttered tea and got a fever that night, it would have been even a more perfect night.

还有一回,我们去了青海,开车在一个国家公园迷了路。一个藏族人家收留了我们。一位坐在床上,手摇转经筒的老奶奶,让她的孙子搬来一大盆烤土豆,放到我们面前,还有好多好多的酥油茶。整个晚上,我们和这一家人围坐火堆旁,聊不完的家常话。如果不是那晚老赵喝了太多酥油茶,发了烧,那将会是最完美的一晚。

At the Beijing Way experience, you are not a visitor at all. You belong to here. You play and laugh like a child. You are the beautiful moment.

在“北京味儿体验”,你哪里是什么访客,你属于这里,你玩着,活着,像个孩童一般。你就是最美的一刻。
