两个月前在柏林拜访了诺贝尔文学奖得主、白俄罗斯作家阿列克谢耶维奇Svetlana Alexievich。那场对谈里，我们聊到乌克兰、聊到女性、聊到核战、聊到爱情、幸福、衰老、死亡。但让我最有感触的是在结尾部分，我们聊到知识分子在当代的角色。

我偶然、曲折、出乎意料地接触到“德国老司机驾校”华人性侵案的受害者，试图走近她自得知案情以来一年多的心理创伤，也尝试拼凑加害者的人生轨迹，与受害者一同提问：他为什么做这些事？https://t.co/tXJlI2GFud

今天乌克兰战争就四周年了。刚刚录完一期播客节目，才得知，过去的这一年，是四年以来平民伤亡最惨重的一年——而我们甚至都很难从新闻上看到它。世界其他地方的生活仍在继续，人们的关注在迭代，变换；而战争也仍在继续，每天都仍然有人在死去。

My beautiful grandmother got married at the age of 87 today, and her story is a wonderful one, so I thought I’d take a moment to share it with all of you…

87 years ago, two people were born in Allentown, Pennsylvania…one of them was named Elaine and the other was named Roland. They met in middle school and went through high school together, and unbeknownst to one another, they were each other’s first big crush.

My grandmother was a cheerleader and Roland was a star athlete, but as life would have it, they went their separate ways, and both went on to raise wonderful families and have beautiful children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren.

Rollie went on to play professional baseball and be a successful businessman, and Elaine went on to work for our local newspaper until she retired. But again, as life would have it, they both found themselves single in their later years, and were sure they’d spend the rest of their days that way.

But as LUCK, or maybe something else, would have it, they both attended their 50th high school reunion, and spent the night talking and catching up and reminiscing about old times. A few months later, Rollie wrote my grandmother a letter, and asked if she’d like to continue that conversation, and that night they spent 5 hours on the phone until they both fell asleep.

A few months after that, he asked if she’d like to come visit him in Miami, and my grandmother never left.

Now this is undeniably a beautiful story, but it’s even more beautiful if you know my grandmother, who is a remarkable woman. She’s strong and sweet and wise and kind…a pattern-breaker and a trailblazer, and she sacrificed every bit of herself to make sure that our family had what we needed and got where we were supposed to go.

Truthfully, I didn’t think this world had built somebody who truly deserved her, but that all changed the moment I met Rollie and his family. Happy endings are great, but happy beginnings are better, and this is the happiest beginning I’ve ever been witness to. I love you, grandma, and nobody deserves a man like Roland more than you, and I hope every day you spend together is more wonderful than the last.

Navalny's wife Yulia at the Munich security conference:

"If it's true, I want Putin, his entourage, Putin's friends and his government to know they will be held responsible for what they have done to our country, my family, and my husband. And that day will come very soon."

每一年的今天，在兰布拉纪念袭击遇难者的仪式上，都有一把大提琴演奏这支曲子。这是加泰罗尼亚艺术家Pau Casals 的作品《鸟之歌》，只有一句词“和平，和平，和平”。我们用这位年迈的流亡艺术家在1961年的演奏悼念逝者。这琴声是这样沉静的悲哀，因为经历过磨难的人知道和平的不易。但这张颤抖的琴弓却不可征服。2023年8月17日，以这部纪录片献给六年前的遇难者及他们的家人。https://t.co/k0i3pxeop3…（正片在曲子后点击播放）

这几个月来上网很少，没有太多发言的欲望，主要靠线下跟朋友们见面续命。去了很多不同的城市，很多场有温度的聊天。一个感受是，每个人都有ta自己处理跟时代关系的方式。动荡的时代里更需要耐力与想象力，我在想的是，沮丧之外是不是还有一些可能。她的写作状态让我感到了一点鼓舞，哪怕只是一点。

她最后说，“我写作，坐下来，然后写作。不要向绝望投降，而是坐下来，写作。” 采访文字版在这里：https://t.co/1x50qYFTBa
