故事是我们文化的生命线，是我们理解世界和我们在其中位置的方式。
"Stories are the lifeblood of our culture, the way we understand the world and our place in it."
The writer must be a witness to history, even if history ignores him.
写作就是抵抗；创造就是对抗遗忘。
The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.
The act of writing is an act of resistance against the forces that seek to silence us.
