　　《往事并不如煙》

　　看鮑蓓的畫，我會(huì)感覺到：仿佛一轉(zhuǎn)眼，我們就換了容顏。
　　在歲月的陰陽(yáng)里，將生命的悲喜化解在無(wú)言中，任命運(yùn)雨打風(fēng)吹。
　　有一天，我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)外界強(qiáng)加于我們的東西越來(lái)越少，
　　我們內(nèi)心渴望的卻在目光中駐足——
　　“童年的天空”、“故鄉(xiāng)的顏色”、“雨中的春花”、“風(fēng)中的山林”，
　　這些似有非無(wú)的記憶，像一首唱不完的歌，總在寂寞時(shí)響起；
　　于是，我們感到溫暖，那溫暖像母親的微笑一樣可靠；
　　于是，我們欣慰，我們?cè)谕吕镎业搅俗约海?br/> 　　于是，我們知道往事并不如煙。
　　我們經(jīng)歷的都是我們要告別的；
　　越走越遠(yuǎn)的腳步恰似越走越近的心靈。
　　走遠(yuǎn)了，就知道回來(lái)的路。
　　舊事與新景都在鮑蓓的色彩中化成驛路上的梨花；
　　它仿佛在告訴我們：
　　穿過(guò)梨園，繞過(guò)春水，看見青山翠竹,
　　就離家不遠(yuǎn)了,
　　離往事也不遠(yuǎn)了。

Bao Pei’s paintings remind me that everything changes completely as time flies.

As hours and minutes rush by, all joy and sadness in life melts into silence;

and fate is gone with wind.

One day, we may discover that the effect of the outside world upon on us has faded.

And what our hearts have longed for is still within sight ——

、、、，

Forgotten memories linger like an endless song, always singing in solitude.

They bring us the warmth of a mother’s smile;

They bring us images of ourselves from the past;

They teach us When Memory Exists Still.

Our experiences are that to which we must always bid farewell;

The more steps we take along life’s path, the closer we come to our soul;

Eventually, we will find the road back home.

Memories, combined with fresh insight, are transformed into pear flowers

by the colors in Bao Pei’s paintings.

Her art tells us that,

Passing through a pear garden, turning toward the spring waters,

Home is close to us whenever we see bamboo;

So is Memory.
