Do not sob on the road (別在路上哭泣)

On Sunday rides a prosperous lotus Sichuan line of bus, in the evening time interval vehicle when travel is used to the vehicle in the dome light closes, lets the passenger rest.
Passes light twinkle which passes by on the road, I discovered accidentally sits in a next door row of female student, alone a person sits in there does not stop turns the neck toward the window direction, must bury own facial cast likely. As soon as I fix the eyes on looked that only then discovered that person has tears streaming down the face, the whole face holds in hand's baggage sadly in the sob. Perhaps is she realized that the bus is the public place, is afraid is seen by the human actually not to be able to bear, therefore only could cry peacefully to the window. Witnessed that this, remembered itself also once in the similar situation, is redundant matter which this female student did. At that time I was forced to leave native place, in the family informed by telegram the knowledge: A very close relative walked. I catch up with the bus to go home in light of this, actually thinks and the family member and my life intravenous drip on the vehicle, his before death all sorts; But at this moment dashes, already was his funeral unexpectedly. At that time were also cannot repress sadly, sat has cried inside the bus. But to avoid scaring other passengers, before I change to diligently the window, is also not sent out oneself any sound, the attempt conceals the out of control tears. Thinks the family member leaves when has not been able to accompany in side, fills with the regret is the tears lacks the dike the reason.
Now although I did not know that female student sobs reason, but her action actually lets me remember a old person has said to me the words: “the parents are in good health do not leave home to be too far, exempt the person to add regret.”This new year period sees many television advertisement to urge that the decoys go home, has had at heart words to spin: Must go home, don't wait till which one day, we can only on the road which goes home, holds the regrettable sob .....

週日坐上隆芙川行的巴士,晚間時段的車在行駛時都習慣把車內頂燈關上,讓乘客休息。透過路上的燈光閃爍,我無意中發現坐在隔壁排的一個女生,獨自一人坐在那兒不停的往窗口方向扭脖子,像要埋沒自己的臉龐。我定睛一看,才發現那人淚流滿面,滿臉哀傷地抱手上的行李在哭泣。也許是她察覺巴士乃是公共地方,害怕被人看見卻又忍不住,所以只能安靜地對窗口哭了起來。

目睹這一幕,就想起自己也曾在同樣的場合,重複這女生所做的事。當時我離鄉背井,家中來電告知:一位至親走了。就此我趕上巴士回家,在車上卻思及親人與我的生活點滴,他生前的種種;而此刻飛奔回去,竟已是他的葬禮。當時自己也是按捺不住悲傷,坐在巴士裡頭就哭了起來。但是為了避免嚇壞其他乘客,我努力地把頭轉到窗口前,也不讓自己發出任何聲音,企圖掩飾失控的淚水。想到親人離開時未能陪伴在旁,滿懷的遺憾就是淚水缺堤的原因。

如今雖然我不知道那個女生哭泣的理由,但是她的舉動卻讓我想起一個老人家對我說過的話:“父母健在就勿離家太遠,免徒添遺憾。”這個新年期間又看見許多的電視廣告聲聲催促游子們歸家,心裡就一直有句話在打轉:要回家,不要等到哪一天,我們只能在回家的路上,抱遺憾哭泣.....
