在豆瓣上关注了纪录片《书店里的影像诗》/《Poetries from the Bookstores》，台湾导演侯季然以书店为系列，每家书店老板个性、风格不同，拍摄手法也不同，拍了 40 部不同的短片，每一集 3-5 分钟，共 120 分钟，以最短的时间内展出一个书店与众不同的情节。

民国 106 年，也是公元 2017 年，我，一个人，一台单反，AKG 耳机，三把手机，一个包就去台湾。本来是约了胖哥一块走，胖哥就一直在那哭穷，于是一个人就环岛自由行。现在觉得，胖哥那句话说得太经典了，

『你就是神经病』

oh，本来就是神经病。

每一集，随着店主独白，书店影像，配上音乐，没有统一的主题，不同的书店，书与人，人与人，人与城市，城市与书，不同年龄段的店长，带着经历，经营理念，生活态度，将牵绊产生的故事以书方式写下去。

正因如此，才这么有趣。

看到第 16 集，觉得书店和店长很眼熟，重复了几遍，打开 QQ 相册，上面记录着从 2009 年到现在所有的行程足迹。原来在 2017 年 09 月 24 日，在花莲，到过这家店，遇见这位店长。那时猛哥得知我去台湾，帮忙他补点货，刚好也需要补货，打开 google maps，找了家书店，店名好简洁，[旧书铺子]。一进书店，店长用闽南语问道：

「你好，你想要什么书本呢？」
『您好，请问这有《美雪美雪》《H2》《灌篮高手》吗？』
「安达充？」
「这年头，看安达充漫画的人可不多哟。我给你找找。印象中是有的。等我一下，去库房找找。」
『好的。』
「你好，《美雪美雪》有一套。其它的应该是放在家里了，得回去找找，明天周一休假，要不下周吧？」
『下周？要回台北，接着回大陆了。』
「那可惜了，可惜了，我印象中是有的。下回吧。给你保留。」
『好吧。』
「最近台湾要大量减少文言文在考试中的比例，这老一辈传下来的文化又要没了。大陆取消了吗？」
『没有哟，高考有考文言文。』
「大陆现在发展这么快，书店很多吧。」
『这个真的不是。网络这么发达。』
「那是，可惜了。」
『是的，可惜了。』

现在终于明白了店长说的三个字「可惜了」。
店长在电影独白「那些东西会吸引你，就是说有一种历史感， 一种过往的那种想象，其实是会让我们的眼睛，不受现有的这个世界的限制。」

这年头生存不易，在这个快餐的时代，好多人都是速食的状态，撸人，撸机，撸猫，撸铁，少了很多思考，少了很多不甘，少了很多承担，烟是很淡，内心成佛，标签为” 佛系”，You will not resist me。

贩卖一场人文地理情怀，
是一件让人白目的事。
可我知道，
一张纸，一段字，一本书，
真的看不出人世沧桑。

或许这是最后一个有书店存在的时代。

PS：记得那时店长留了联系方式。片子慢慢看，那么打开手机，登陆 Facebook。

I watched 《Poetries from the Bookstores》,a documentary, on Douban. Its Taiwan director Hou Jiran features different bookstores using different shooting techniques. The documentary comprises 40 episodes, 3-5min per episode, totaling 120min. The director tries to show the distinct features of each bookstore in the shortest time.

In the 106th year of the Republic of China, or 2017 A.D., I went to Taiwan alone, carrying a camera, an AKG, three cell phones and one bag. I had invited Pangge to go with me, but he complained about how poor he was. So I went on the trip alone. Looking back, I totally agree with Pangge’s comment on me.

You are crazy.
Oh, yeah~

Every episode contains a monologue of the manager, an image of the bookstore and background music. There is no uniform theme. Different bookstores that carry the stories between books and people, people and people, people and city, city and books, and managers of different age groups that hold varied experiences, operating ideas and attitudes towards life write down the stories of bonds in the form of a book. 

This is why it is so fun.

In Episode 16, I felt I had seen the bookstore and the manager before. So I watched it repeatedly. Later, I accessed my QQ photo album, which recorded all my footprints from 2009 to now. I found I visited that bookstore and that manager in Hualian, on September 24, 2017. I was asked by Mengge to help him with replenishment. I found this bookstore on google maps. The name “Old Bookstore” impressed me for its simplicity. Upon entering the store, the manager greeted me in Southern Fujian Dialect:

「Excuse me, what can I do for you?」

『Do you have Miyuki, H2 and Slamdunk?』

「Adachi?」

「Readers of Adachi are not common these days. I’ll look for them for you. I remember we have. Please wait a minute. I’ll search for them in the warehouse.」

『Okay.』

「Excuse me, we have a set of Miyuki. The others should be in my home. I’ll search after I go back. Tomorrow is my day off. How about next week?」

『Next week? I’ll soon return to Taipei and then the mainland.』

「What a pity. What a pity. I remember I have the books you want. Next time, then. I’ll retain them for you.」

『Alright.』

「Taiwan will greatly reduce the proportion of classical Chinese in the examination. We will lose the legacy passed down from our ancestors. How about on the mainland?」

『Not yet, we test classical Chinese in gaokao.』

「There must be many bookstores on the mainland since it develops so fast now.」

『That’s not the truth. Because of the network.』

「Well, what a pity.」

『Yes, what a pity.』

Now, I really understand what the manager meant by saying “what a pity”. The monologue of the manager in the film will attract you. How to say? It can bring you a sense of history, a kind of imagination about the past, and, most importantly, something beyond the existing world.

It is not easy to survive at this age. In this age of “fast food”, everything is instant. People entertain themselves with people, computers, cats and exercisers. They greatly reduce thinking, dissatisfaction with reality and undertaking. Cigarettes taste light. Such a lifestyle is defined as “Buddha-like”. 

It is despicable to sell people’s cultural and geographical feelings. But I know a piece of paper, a paragraph, or a book really cannot tell the vicissitudes of life.

Perhaps this is the last age for bookstores.

PS: I remember the store manager gave me his contact information. I have enough time to watch the film. So now, I turn on my cell phone and log on to Facebook.
