What kind of bridge you wish to build?

In 2005, I built my first Wu Zhi Qaio无止桥. Since then, China has progressed. She is now building bridges for the villagers at the rate that we could never dream of. ① ② Our original mission has been accomplished. The needs have moved on. So, what is next? Often, people ask, “What a village wants?” and “How a village should be improved?” I tend to ask another set of questions, “What life needs?” and “How life may be improved?” The questions are fundamentally different. One set of them focuses on the physical and the social provisions. It is materialistic. It is one-sided. The other set of questions focuses on life. It is spiritual and soul searching, and it is this resonance with life that the modern soul is lacking. We sometimes believe that a short experience in the village, or a hallucination of their reality, is a replacement of this resonance, and a basis of one’s “bridge”. For me, it is high time to think again.

你想建的是一座什麼樣的橋？

2005年，我建成了我的第一座無止橋。從那時候起，中國一直在進步。她現在建橋的速度已經遠遠超出我們的想象。① ② 我們當時的任務已經完成了，需求也已經轉變。我10年前做的事情現在確實不太需要了，那麼接下來應該做點什麼呢？人們常常會問：“一個村子最想要的是什麼？”“應該怎樣提升一個村莊？”而我更傾向於問另外一些問題：“村民最需要的是什麼？”“應該怎樣改善村民的生活？”這兩種問題的提法有著根本上的不同。前者關注的是物質和社會層面的供給，是一種實用主義的想法。後者關注的是生命，是對精神和心靈的訴求。這種對生命的共鳴正是現代思維所缺乏的。有時候人們以為，一段在村子里的短暫經歷，或者對村民現實生活的一些幻想，就可以代替生命的共鳴和人與人之間建立“心橋”的基礎。可是我告訴你，這還不是。是時候該做得更好一些了。
