上车要买四张票：
一张鹅黄色的叫童年；
一张淡绿色的叫青春；
一张天蓝色的叫成熟；
一张桔红色的叫暮岁.

Inspiration from… 灵感来源
The inspiration of my poem came from a quote that I like:
“There’s a grocery store beyond the cloud, years and sunset pile up on its shelf, behind it is the mountain. People gather and scatter, clouds come and go. The storyteller always has a story untold. Time flies, and secrets turn to paper.” ——Jiajia Zhang
Years, in Jiajia Zhang’s description is not being overly embellished. It’s sweet, bland, and true. How much we love it, is also how much we hate it. Even though we miss the felicific and unique experiences we had, but everyone has a past unwilling to mention. Thus, I separated different periods, and hided the taste behind every experience into the colors of the tickets, and hope that through this way, these secrets untold can turn into paper.
这首诗的灵感来源于我很喜欢的一段话：
“云边有个小卖部，货架堆着岁月和夕阳 ，背后就是山。人们聚和散，云朵来又往。讲故事的人总有一个故事不愿讲。时光飞逝，悄悄话变成纸张。” ——张嘉佳
张嘉佳笔下的岁月没有被过多地修饰。它很美好、很平淡、很真实。我们有多爱之深沉，就有多恨之入骨。虽然怀念那些美好而又独特的经历，但每个人总有一段不愿提及的过往。于是我把不同的时期分开来，把每一段经历的酸甜苦辣藏在不同颜色的车票里，希望能通过这种方式把那些不愿讲的悄悄话变成纸张。
About the poem... 作品简介
I prefer to describe our life as a journey. On the way, we are going to transfer, to experience different lifestyles, and to have completely different emotions on different trains. The buff childhood is the clean and pure innocence that hides childishness and warmth; reseda is the color of youth, that hides infinite possibilities under its vivid and juicy life. The world for the adults is more like the azure: they are steady and calm, and their ambition has already became as broad as the sea, or the sky above; and the seniors are like the sunset, which contains countless tastes behind its nacarat, and hides innumerable untold stories while giving warmth. As the time pass, we finally threw the childish buff ticket from the start, and switched into the ticket in nacarat that is filled with memories…
我更愿意把人生比作一趟旅行。途中我们会换乘、会体验不同的生活、会在不同的列车上有着完全不一样的感受。童年的鹅黄色，是干净且纯洁的童真，藏着稚嫩温暖；青春的淡绿，是活泼而又生动的生活，藏着无限可能。成年人的世界更像是淡蓝色，他们稳重成熟，遇事不惊，心胸已历练成那一片海，或是那片海上的一方天空；而老年人更像是天边的夕阳，桔红色里不知夹杂了多少酸甜苦辣，给予温暖的同时也不知藏了多少不愿提及的过往。随着旅行的时间一点一滴流逝，我们也终于丢掉了最初稚嫩的鹅黄色车票，换成了包裹着回忆的桔红色车票……
