《1988》——英雄、女人、理想
(剧透慎入)
我有幸很早就买到了这本书。我也不知道为什么一个书摊比一个书店能更早得到这本书,反正百度贴吧里的人有的9月20日就拿到了。
关于这本书,我想用英雄、女人、理想来概括。但后来我想了一下,发现韩寒上一本书原来也是在写英雄、女人和理想,只不过角度稍有不同罢了。一开始看了几段,我还以为是继续映射社会,但看完全书后发现,映射社会只能算是一点渲染,真正想表达的,还是英雄、女人、理想。
《1988》的文字不算多,严格来说它甚至不算一本小说。它是一本回忆录,在这本书里充满了倒叙、插叙以及倒叙、插叙。书里明显分成两条线,一条从“我”开1988开始,另一条则从1988年开始。
1、路上的1988
故事很简单,首先交代1988和1988上那个女人,就是前面叫珊珊后面叫娜娜的那个妓女的来源(珊娜,我想到了那个叫圣珊娜的广告?)。所以开始的情节可能会让读者产生各种意淫。想想韩寒似乎经常写这样的内容,后来发现这其实只是韩寒第二次写一个妓女的角色,第一次似乎是在《光明日》里面。
在叙述中穿插着不少社会映射,例如抓着妓女拍照,私下谈判,以不为打伤“我”负责任为条件免去“我”的半年劳教。但是我觉得社会映射只是小处,看完全书就会明白了。
我看这书的同时也有向我的朋友推荐,但是我觉得他们的家长要是看到开头写妓女,那一定就给查封了。但妓女,或者说是性工作者,真真切切是一个鲜活的底层人民形象。她们神秘,但换个角度想想,她们其实和常人没有任何区别,她们都会有理想,有她们理想的男人。
“我”带着娜娜上路,去找“我”的朋友。在路上听娜娜讲她的理想,同时也在回忆“我”的经历。
娜娜虽身为性工作,却想着把她肚里的女孩培养成一个健康的公主。她可以为了供养这个不知道爸爸是谁的女儿而被嫖客做死。以前有个调查发现,人们认为性工作者比官员还有信用。性工作者和官员,这两个在天朝里反差最大的阶层,其实他们之间只有地位的差别,而没有人性上的差别。官员为了送子女出国,不惜受贿找关系,这见怪不怪。而性工作者为了送子女出国留学,宁可被别人做死。
可惜的是,虽然两者的人性差别不大,但是见识还是有差别的。官员想送子女去美国,而小说里这个娜娜却想送女儿去朝鲜——她说朝鲜比较近,太远送不起。
路上插叙着各种荒诞的景象——老人出来撞1988骗钱、比法院还高大,遮住了法院光芒的,被n多探照灯象炮一样瞄准的“人民政府”。
娜娜继续讲她的理想。例如找孩子他爸,从洗头房升职到桑拿,自己开洗头房,做化妆师,做歌手,对孙老板的迷恋。这些理想都破灭了。孩子他爸不肯接她电话,样貌不好不能去桑拿工作,每次攒了20000块就被没收乃至开不了洗头房,被“王菲的制作人”占了便宜后才发现他是个骗子,孙老板则被抓走了,找不到他。乃至在看到电视台骗钱的问答游戏时还想打电话过去。每一个小人物都是有理想的,可是,这是天朝,你的理想很大可能是被骗子骗掉的。就像《独唱团》最后那个漫画里撞死在瓶子里的虫子。
在“我”的回忆和娜娜的口述中,发现“我”和娜娜也有两个交点:孟欣童和海上皇宫。韩寒的小说有个套路,就是处处都有暗示,暗示某一不相干的人或事在最后的相交。
中间又穿插了一个情节:娜娜找了个医院治性病,结果查出了很多“病”,她打破了医院的“红外线治疗仪”,发现只是个红色灯泡。这里也是反映现实的,性工作者生存的困难和骗钱的“医院”
最后“我”开车到了目的地,“我”找到了“我的朋友”——一盒骨灰。“我”送娜娜去医院检查,娜娜却自己跑了。最后娜娜托她的姐妹把她生下来的女儿给了“我”。至于娜娜和“我”有没有感情,我就不揣测了。但最后娜娜把女儿给了“我”,也许暗示着她对“我”的信任,还有她找不到那个孙老板,或者是找到了孙老板,孙老板却不要她了。
2、回忆的1988
“我”的回忆应该是从1988年开始的,虽然中间穿插了1983的严打情节,但总体上还是从1988开始的。这一段我觉得有一些可能是韩寒的真实回忆。从“我”回忆爬上旗杆,看到一个蓝色裙子的女孩,然后喜欢上她开始。韩寒上一本《他的国》里,也有高处跳下来的情节。韩寒一开始也说了,“以此书纪念我每一个倒在路上的朋友,更以此书献给你,我生命中的女孩们,无论你解不解我的风情,无论我解不解你的衣扣,在此刻,我是如此地想念你,不带们。”,所以回忆部分许多都是写朋友和女孩的。
看完这些内容,你们会不会回忆起当年你崇拜过的人,你喜欢过的女孩?
“我”的朋友主要写了丁丁哥哥、临时工哥哥、10号。丁丁哥哥在那个时代作为一个稀有的大学生知识分子,是“我”心中的英雄。他给书“我”看,带我去看火车,偷摩托车带“我”去兜风,给“我”追讨弹子。丁丁哥哥在小说里可以说是一个完美无瑕的英雄,乃至成为“我”心里的精神领袖,以后“我”要抉择时仿佛他都在给“我”撑腰。丁丁哥哥最后在次年(1989)春天搭火车北上,去找“他们”谈谈,结果一去不回。这里是一个暗喻情节,暗喻丁丁哥哥在1989.6.4那天牺牲了。
临时工哥哥,其实是为了10号而出现的。临时工哥哥用大弹子赢走了我们的弹子,我们一直不服气,而10号领导我们起来造反。但是“我”不敢看10号勒死或者毒死临时工哥哥。但10号最后还是自己行动了,他吞掉了大弹子(估计其实是没有吞),并且说了一堆遗嘱。但后来他没有死,还把大弹子据为己有,也把“我”不死鸟的称号抢走了。(这听起来就像某党抗日,不过联想过分了,呵呵)后来“我”不服10号,抢走10号的大弹子,并且真的吞下去了,也再没有拉出来。这里道出了一个“小人物”相当于一个“英雄”的悲哀。
10号后来在校工厂得到了一个手枪,还和“我”的初恋刘茵茵一同赴死。10号这个英雄形象虽然有点装×,但是也是“我”心中崇拜的一个形象。
其实还有一个朋友,就是1988的制造者,小说一直没有明道出,最后他也死了。
“我”为了寻找那个蓝裙子女孩,做了眼保健操检查员。中间穿插了一个冷笑话,“我”喊眼保健操口号时没有喊“为了革命”,结果蓝裙子女孩站起来说“我”是反革命。“我”就一直被叫做反革命。但因为这个外号是来源于“我”喜欢的人,所以“我”并不讨厌。相信许多人都有同感吧。
里面介绍小学时“我”看上的4个女孩,似乎除了蓝裙子女孩刘茵茵,其他三个有点多余,因为她们后面几乎没出现了。
中间也有说女孩子发育的时候,1米4的“我”看着1米5的女孩时的自卑。这里的描写看起来非常真实,非常有同感。
后来“我”和刘茵茵好上了,但是“我”要去外地读书,又不想搞异地恋,刘茵茵又嫌“我”像弟弟。结果刘茵茵就被10号泡走,并且一起出车祸死掉了。前面有一处写到“我”小时候告诉10号“我”喜欢蓝裙子女孩,结果10号说要和“我”决斗,“我”不敢的情节,当时看到这个情节时,我也想到了蓝裙子女孩最后会和10号在一起。
刘茵茵说“我”像弟弟,“我”之后就觉得谈恋爱就像演戏。但娜娜对“我”说,你可以做自己。
说做自己容易,但是很多时候,又有谁可以真正地去“做自己”?不但谈恋爱如此,生活也如此。
至于“我”的第二个女友孟孟,我也不知道有什么可说的。孟孟闯影视界的情节揭露了拍电视剧的诸多荒诞,但这其实见怪不怪。孟孟最后说“我转行了”,暗示了她去做娜娜的上头。另外孟孟故意盖住锅盖煮死温水青蛙的故事,其实也很有寓意的。虽然温水煮青蛙青蛙会跳出来,但如果现实不让你跳出去,你还是得被活活煮死
从“我”不喜欢圣斗士,到喜欢小虎队,到收听“敌台”而被爷爷没收收音机,“我”渐渐长大了。长大后“我”的理想是做记者。做了记者后我发现里面的诸多潜规则。不小心说了领导的儿子的老婆的哥哥的坏话被喀嚓已经见怪不怪,这一段揭示现实揭示得比较深刻。而当“我”写新闻揭露孟孟所在演戏的剧组的时候,却意外为那个烂剧提升了知名度,剧组还请“我”再写一篇负面新闻。这又一次说明了新闻行业的荒诞。
所以“我”的理想其实也落空了。
“我”最后领走的骨灰是“我”的朋友、丁丁哥哥、10号和刘茵茵的。韩寒故意把这四个人最后编排到一起,也表现了这篇小说的圆满之处。“我”和刘茵茵约定在318国道的尽头友谊桥(《他的国》里也提到这个地方)相聚,而最终“我”和她的骨灰也确确实实在这里相聚了,这算是“我”一个理想的实现吧。最后“我”迎风撒走四人的骨灰,四人的骨灰被风吹到“我”身上,韩寒写得很清楚了,“我”是被他们笼罩着的人。最后一段话也表达了韩寒对朋友的怀念。
最后我猜,为我做1988的朋友也许是孙老板。娜娜提到孙老板进去了,而“我”那个朋友也是进去了,娜娜想孙老板应该已经出来了,但也许出来的就是那盒骨灰。

Really enjoyed this article, can I set it up so I receive an email every time you publish a fresh update?
Thanks for the ideas you have contributed here. Additionally, I believe there are a few factors which keep your car insurance premium straight down. One is, to think about buying vehicles that are from the good set of car insurance corporations. Cars which can be expensive will be more at risk of being stolen. Aside from that insurance policies are also in accordance with the value of your vehicle, so the costlier it is, then higher the particular premium you only pay.
Would you be considering exchanging hyperlinks?
I’ve learned result-oriented things as a result of your weblog. One other thing I would really like to say is the fact that newer computer system os’s are likely to allow more memory to be utilized, but they in addition demand more memory space simply to function.
