疫情让我们反思当下的城市生活方式

COVID-19has made people think harder about their relationship with nature.It has also raised questions about urban(城市的)lifestyles.The sharing economy(共享经济),working in open offices,living in crowded apartments and the food industry’s use of reusable products have made the perfect storm for a pandemic(大流行).

Although the sharing economy might be good–it’s cheaper to rent than to own–sharing spaces and objects are great ways to spread the virus.How does one do“social distancing(和他人保持安全距离)”when they are expected to share cars,bikes,apartments and even the same offices?

The trend(趋势)of using open offices,which can save space,is working against us.In this type of office,workers don’t have their own desk–everything is shared.Sometimes,computers and chairs are also shared,which is not hygienic(卫生的).Fortunately,more workers are working from home during the pandemic,but that won’t last forever.

Reusability(循环利用)is a common practice in the restaurant industry.Reusable cups and chopsticks are often used.Unfortunately,reusable products increase the chance of spreading disease.For example,Starbucks recently stopped refilling(重新装满)customers’reusable cups in order to stop the spread of the virus.

People like to be social.But the virus has made this more dangerous.We have to be careful about how we interact(交往)with others for now.Perhaps we need to rethink about our lifestyles to reduce the spread of future pandemics.

山川异域，风月同天

In late January,a donation of masks and thermometers from the Japan Youth Development Association in Tokyo to Hubei Province caused a stir on Chinese social media.

This was because of the powerful poetic message written on each box:“山川异域，风月同天。”.It literally translates to“Mountains and rivers on foreign land wind and moon under the same sky.”or officially,“Lands apart,sky shared”Besides the heartfelt regard and the elegant language,the quote also alluded a significant moment in the history of cultural exchange between the two countries.

The line comes from a seventh century Buddhist hymn by prince Nagaya,a politician from the Nara period(710-794)of Japan,titled“Embroidered on Kasaya Robes for good Karma”:Lands apart,sky shared.For the disciples of Buddha,to nurture good karma.

The hymn was embroidered on1,000Buddhist robes which Prince Nagaya had made and sent to the Tang court in China.It’s a part of his invitation for Chinese Buddhist monks to visit Japan.The poem was also included in the Complete Tang Poems,the largest existing collection of Tang poetry. Inspired by the Prince’s hymn,Jianzhen,decided to go on a voyage to Japan.After six attempts and the loss of his eyesight,Jianzhen finally arrived,and made a significant contribution to the spread of Buddhism in Japan.

The reference does not only invoke shared history,but also mutual appreciation for ancient poetry in the Chinese language.Many in china were touched by the poetic expression of support from Japanese citizens during the COVID-19outbreak.
