Educated Youth in My Memory
Author: Juebu Shoubing
Translated by Tulip
Half a few of collapsed mud houses in my hometown remind me of the past
When educated youth lived there the yard was clean
There were many beauties whose names unfamiliar to me
In fact, I was fond of listening to their songs flown out of the harmonicas
I used to look at their teeth with giggling rinse foam at brushing
When they were holding me I much liked the fragrance of fresh soap
Many villagers sneered at the youth
Particularly, the party secretary and the village leader always criticized them
In total, the young people only had a dozen
Every night I secretly climbed up to their window
Watching them write letter to cities
Gradually their numbers reduced
I counted with my fingers to know that I was nine years old
Whoever wanted to leave
They usually brought their clothes of non-use for future or other things to my mum
My mother always baked some flour steamed bread for them the whole night
Xiumei and another youngster whose name I don’t know, were the last to leave
Because their parents couldn’t afford the gift for the village and town
When I grew up I drifted in cities like them
Someone told me that a few years ago they came back
They had their pictures taken in the old yard and at front of the locked door, then they left

【我记忆中的知青】作者：绝不收兵
我的记忆是从老家的几间倒塌了一半的土房子展开的
知识青年住的时候这里院落干净
还有很多叫不上名字的花朵
其实我最爱听他们口琴里飞出的歌
我总会看着他们涮牙时嘴里的白沫儿笑个不停
他们抱我时我最爱聞那肥皂的清新
村里的好多人都看不起他们
尤其支书和队长总是批评个不停
他们总共有十几个人
我每天晚上偷偷地趴在他们的窗台
看他们往城里写信
慢慢的他们人数减少了
扳扳指头算算那年我已九岁了
他们每走一个人
都要把自己带不上的衣服和别的给我的母亲
我母亲总会连夜给他们烙些白面馍馍
秀梅和另外一个叫不上名字的小伙是最后走的
因为他们的父母买不起送给村里和乡上的礼物
当我长大后就像他们一样 却在城里漂泊
听说前几年他们回来过
在住过的院子和我家上锁的门前照了些相片就走了
