我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight他知道老张说得对。那些货色，确是假的。可老张不懂：这世上最贵的，从来不是真金，而是希望。他卖的从来不是糖，不是包，不是表——他卖的是一个梦。一个让乡下姑娘相信自己也能走进高档商场的梦；一个让流水线工人相信终有一天能坐上谈判桌的梦。人人都急着洗去身上的泥腥味，想在脖子上镀一层薄薄的金。王格斯，便是那个递出金箔的人。那金箔或许一碰就碎，一吹就飞，但在递出的刹那，它确曾闪闪发光。He knew Old Zhang spoke true. The wares he peddled were false, every last one. Yet Zhang did not understand: the dearest thing in this world has never been gold, but hope. He sold no candy, no bags, no watches—he sold a dream. A dream to make the village girl believe she might walk into a high-end mall; a dream to make the factory hand believe he would one day sit at a negotiation table. In an age when all men were desperate to scrub the smell of earth from their skin and drape the thinnest layer of gold around their necks, Gus Wang was the hand that offered the foil. It might crumble at a touch, it might scatter on the wind—but in the moment it left his hand, it shone.
