《启示》这篇散文是在上个世纪80年代初写的。那时,我在厦门居住和工作。我在鼓浪屿住了八年,可以说是日夜与大海和浪花做伴。由于这个得天独厚的条件,我得以常常亲近大海,常常在海边散步流连,在海边休息或者思考。我的不少文章都是在海边酝酿和构思的。《启示》也是那个时期的产物。 The essay “Revelation” was written in the early 1980s. At that time, I lived and worked in Xiamen. I lived in Gulangyu for eight years. I can say that I work with the sea and the waves day and night. Because of this unique condition, I often get close to the sea, often wandering around the beach, resting or thinking on the beach. Many of my articles were brewed and conceived at the seaside. “Revelation” is also a product of that period.
