我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing in the Limelight他想起自己熬糖的那些日子。三伏天，灶膛里的火舌舔着锅底，他的脊背像被烙铁烫过一样，汗水顺着脊沟流成小河，滴进锅里，和糖浆一起翻滚。他的手被滚烫的糖稀烫出了密密麻麻的水泡，破了又起，起了又破，最后结成一层厚厚的老茧，像是戴了一副人肉手套。每一张钞票，都是用这副手套蘸着自己的血肉换来的。现在有人告诉他，这些东西要变成废纸？王狗剩冷笑一声，笑得比哭还难看。He thought of those days when he boiled sugar. In the scorching days of midsummer, the flames in the stove licked the bottom of the cauldron, while his back felt as if seared by a branding iron. Sweat ran in rivulets down the groove of his spine, dripping into the pot and churning together with the syrup. His hands were covered in dense blisters from the scalding syrup—bursting and forming, forming and bursting—until at last they became a thick layer of calluses, like a pair of gloves made of human flesh. Every single banknote had been earned by dipping that pair of gloves—his own flesh and blood—into his very life. And now someone told him these things would turn into wastepaper? Doggy Wang let out a cold laugh, uglier than crying, more bitter than tears.
