寒冷的高纬度
——我的梦开始的地方
从中国的版图上看，我的出生地——漠河居于最北端,大约在北纬53度左右的地理位置上。那是一个小村子，它依山傍水，风景优美，每年有多半的时间白雪飘飘。我记忆最深刻的,就是那里漫长的寒冷。冬天似乎总也过不完。
我小的时候住在外婆家里，那是一座高大的木刻楞房子,房前屋后是广阔的菜园。短暂的夏季来临的时候，菜园就被种上了各色蔬菜和花草，有的是让人吃的东西，如黄瓜、茄子、倭瓜、豆角等；有的则纯粹是供人观赏的，如矢车菊、爬山虎等等。一到昼长夜短的夏天，这形形色色的植物就几近疯狂地生长着，它们似乎知道属于它们的日子是不多的。我经常看见的一种情形就是，当某一种植物还在旺盛的生命期的时候，秋霜却不期而至，所有的植物在一夜之间就憔悴了。这种大自然的风云变幻所带来的植物的被迫凋零令人痛心和震撼。我对人生最初的认识，完全是从自然界的一些变化而感悟来的。比如我从早衰的植物身上看到了生命的脆弱，同时我也从另一个侧面看到了生命的从容。
因为许多了的植物，在来年的春天优惠焕发出勃勃生机，看上去比前一年似乎更加有朝气。
童年围绕着我的，除了那些可爱的植物，还有亲人和动物。请原谅我把他们并列放在一起来谈。因为在我看来，他们都是我的朋友，我的亲人。也许是由于身处民风纯朴的边塞的缘故，他们是那么善良、隐忍、宽厚，爱意总是那么不经意地写在他们的脸上，让人觉得生活里到处是融融暖意。我从他们身上,领略最多的就是那种随遇而安的平和与超然，这几乎决定了我成年以后的人生观。至于那些令人难忘的小动物，我与它们之间好象有着难以理解的情缘，我养过的狗和猫，他们都是公认的富有灵性的动物，我可以和它们交友，可以和它们搞恶作剧，有时他们与我像朋友一样亲密，有时则因着我对它们的捉弄，好几天对我不理不睬，在喧哗而浮躁的人世间，能够时常忆起它们，内心会有一种异常温暖的感觉。
在这样一片充满了灵性的土地上，神话和传说几乎到处都是。我喜欢神话和传说，因为它们就是艺术的温床。神话和传说是绚丽的艺术灵光，它闪闪烁烁地游荡在漫无边际的时空中。而且，它喜欢寻找妖娆的自然景观作为诞生地，所以人世间流传最多的是关于大海和森林的神话。也许是因为神话的滋养，我记忆中的房屋、牛棚、猪舍、菜园、山川流水、日月星辰等等，它们无一不沾染了神话的色彩和气韵。我笔下的任务也无法逃脱它们的笼罩。我所理解的活生生的人，不是庸常所指的按显示规律生活的人，而是被神灵之光包围的人，那是一群有个性和光彩的人，他们也许会有种种缺陷，但他们忠实于自己的内心生活。从人性的意义来讲，只有他们才值得永久的书写。
还有梦境。也许是我童年生活的环境与大自然紧紧相拥的缘故吧。我特别喜欢做一些色彩斑斓的梦。有时我想，梦境也是一种现实，这种现实以风景人物为依托，是一种拟人化的现实,人世间所有的哲理其实都应该产生自它们之中。梦境的语言具有永恒性,只要你有呼吸、有思维,它就无休止地出现,给人带来无穷无尽的联想。
我对文学和人生的思考，与我的故乡，与我的童年，与我所热爱的大自然是紧密相连的。对这些所知所识的事物的认识，有的时候是忧伤的，有的时候则是快乐的。我希望能够从一些简单的事物中看出深刻来，同时又能够把一些貌似深刻的事物给看破，这样的话，无论是生活还是文学，我都能够保持一股率真之气、自由之气。
我童年在故乡北极村生活的时候，因为不知道“山外有山，天外有天”，我认定世界就北极村这么大。当我成年以后到过了许多地方，见到了更多的人和更绚丽的封疆之后，我回过头来一想，世界其实还是那么大，它只是一个小小的北极村。

Some univerisites will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of month

However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.
