Driving to a friend’s house one evening, I was attracted by the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops (屋頂). I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.

My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a small village in a forest, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched (感动) much of his life.

I know the feeling. Last December I went to a village with some friends. We stayed in a forest house with no electricity or hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known. And above me was the full moon, which struck (击打) me deeply.

Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.

Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage (村舍). There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
