我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight老张是在那个周五提交的辞职信。他是厂里最老的工人，跟了王格斯十二年，从当初在后厨烧煤炉的时候就跟着——那时候煤灰落在他们的头发里、衣领里、指甲缝里，怎么洗都洗不干净。他的辞职信写在一张皱巴巴的作业本纸上，只有一句话："家里有事，不干了。"王格斯没有挽留。他知道老张不是因为家里有事。Old Zhang submitted his resignation on that Friday. He was the oldest worker in the factory, having followed Gus Wang for twelve years—ever since the days of shoveling coal in the back kitchen, when the coal dust settled in their hair, under their collars, beneath their fingernails, in places no amount of washing could ever reach. His resignation was written on a crumpled sheet of notebook paper, just one sentence: "Family matters. I quit."Gus Wang did not try to retain him. He knew that Old Zhang was not leaving because of family matters.
