一個月之後,終於有時間提筆來寫這個路書, 走之前在網上看了不少他人路書,也想寫出來供大家分享. 今年春節末尾從1月31日至2/4, 花了五天時間,進行了一次上海-北京-上海自駕游. 去花了二天, 回花了二天, 在北京實際時間為一天二夜,來回均夜宿在濟南.不是不能一天開到,只是覺得沒必要那麼拼.
北京早已熟悉了, 此行的最大收獲是跑了半個中國, 對江蘇(特別是蘇北), 山東,河北, 天津有了第一”腳”印象, 開車與坐飛機, 坐火車完全不一樣. 要了解一個城市, 必須得穿行過她的主要街道. 有人說中國東西相差五十年,南北相差二十年, 的確有同感, 但令人欣喜的是各個地方都在進步. 此前行我在國內開過最遠的是南到過寧波, 北到過南京, 僅此而已,而我開過的最長單日路程是八百公裡, 那還是在十年以前.
此行五天,中間共寫了五首應景之詩作, 詳悉附後. 象這樣大段地寫中文, 我已多年不寫了. 詩只能寫意, 詳細描述還得寫文章.
1 月31日上午9點上海出發, 從外環A20的五洲大道出口上中環, 轉滬嘉高速A12, 再轉沿江高速(後自動變為錫澄高速),向北京/江陰大橋方向, 進入蘇北. 江陰大橋非常震撼 (注:京滬高速為統稱, 在各地各段高速有其獨特命名, 連起來為總稱京滬高速).下午一點在淮陰川星服務區停車加油休息, 油比上海貴, 而且沒有97號汽油. 下午一點二十五分再出發, 共開了4個小時, 總計437公裡.一路過蘇北進入山東地界. 在蘇北還不太感受已到了北方, 進入山東沂蒙山區, 才有北方的感覺. 出了沂蒙山區才是一馬平川的山東平原.所謂齊魯大地, 齊與魯還是有差別的. 下午五點左右, 在離濟南只有一站之地泰安服務區加油,休息, 實在撐不住了. 下午六點到達濟南,入住在攜程所預訂的酒店. 第一天總共開了九個小時, 共計872公裡.
第二天2月1日上午10點 50分, 從濟南出發前往北京.因為前面二個晚上均沒有睡好, 靠堅強的毅力,

Drive to Beijing from Shanghai V - On the Road II (February 8, 2009) - 102
On the road
Fog, rain and cold
Fear, uncertainty and dismay
Whatever happens
You have to go ahead
Mile by mile
Town by town
Rest area by rest area
Minute by minute
Hour by hour
You have to possess vigilance
You have to possess strength
You have to possess patience
You have to possess endurance
You have to possess confidence
No one ahead
No one behind
Do not be timid
You will hit the end
Drive to Beijing from Shanghai IV - Beijing Impression (February 3, 2009) - 101
Modern on its face
History in its body
High-tech in its muscles
Culture in its heart
A city with all roads straight
A city with all accents standardized
A city gathers so many talents
A city draws so many elites
A city once studying
Now revisiting
A city once cycling
Now driving
A city makes Washington be serious
A city makes London be jealous
A city makes Tokyo be inferior
A city makes Shanghai be nervous
Here I tell my son I want to try something new
Here my son tells me he wants to try something old
Here I tell my son life is good
Here my son tells me life is tough
Here I tell my son I want to be a full-time poet
Here my son tells me he wants to be a full-time fool
Life is about experience
Experience depends on your interpretation
Interpretation depends on your calibration
Calibration depends on your judgement
Be your own ruler
Be your own Judge
Here I refresh my memory
Here I renew my energy
Drive to Bejing from Shanghai III - Lotus Pond (February 1, 2009) - 100
Same campus
Different students
Same pond
Different lotus
Same trees
Different leaves
Same bench
Different sitters
Same space
Different time
Same scene
Different sentiment
My gorgeous Lotus Pond
My good old day
Drive to Bejing From Shanghai II - On the Road I (January 31, 2009) - 99
Passing the Convinience Store
Passing the Metro Station
Passing the Five-Continent boulevard
Passing misty Yangtz River
One hand on the wheel
One hand with a coke
Radio on the head
Eyes on the road ahead
Watching the sunrise at early morning
Watching the sunset at late evening
Passing icy Yellow River
Finally getting to the hometown of Confucius
Why not try something other than WestLife
Forget about Eagle at Hotel California
Embrace Earth Wind and Fire
U2 in such a Beautiful Day
Drive to Beijing from Shanghai I - Planning (January 26, 2009) - 97
Eight hundred miles
From south to north
From coast to inner land
You can go by air
You can go by train
You can go by bus
But I choose to drive
In such cold winter alone
Prepare lodging
Prepare water
Prepare food
Prepare music
Wheel in your single hand
Direction under your own control
Pedal under your single foot
Speed under your own control
It was not from SF to LA in 1996
It is from Shanghai to Beijing in 2009
