在我看来,异族人过的并不是另类人生。欢乐与悲伤,幸福与痛苦,获得与失落,从感情承载的重荷来看,生活在此处和别处,此时与彼时,实在没有太大的区别。我借用异域、异族题材所要追求和表现的,无非就是一种历史的普遍性而非特殊性的认同,即一种普遍的眼光,普遍的历史感和普遍的人性指向。——阿来 In my opinion, interracial people are not alternative life. Happiness and sadness, happiness and pain, gain and loss, from the heavy burden of affection bearing, living here and elsewhere, at this time and then, it is not much difference. What I want to borrow and borrow from exotic and interracial subjects is nothing but a historical universality rather than a particular identity, that is, a universal perspective, a general sense of history, and a universal humanity point of view. - A Lai
