01 在重庆呆了七年,在玄易风眼里,重庆是个不能用常规思维理解和相处的城市
4月8日,沙坪坝区三峡广场阳光正好。树荫下,一头金发的帕克(Parker)正弯着腰,和一群打四川长牌的老人相谈甚欢。
作为一个美国人,帕克有一个颇具玄幻武侠味的中国名字——玄易风,这源自于他对东方哲学的痴迷。这种痴迷,也驱使他7年前来到重庆大学博雅学院继续深造。
玄易风是老庄的“铁杆粉丝”,张口闭口就是“老子曰”“庄子曰”:“庄子讲‘物物而不物于物’,是他对‘自由’的解读,境界很高,几千年过去了,对于现代人同样受用。”
毕业后,他留在重庆,成了四川外国语大学的一名口语和翻译老师。
去年7月,他又有了一个新身份——重庆国际传播中心的外籍记者。三峡广场初见玄易风时,他正是在做一个有关老人业余休闲活动的街头采访。
On April 8, it was sunny in the Three Gorges Square in Shapingba District.
Under the tree, a blond-hair guy was leaning forward and chit-chatting with a bunch of seniors playing the Sichuan bridge. This guy is named Parker.

Though being an American, Parker has given himself a Chinese name "Xuan Yifeng", which is correlative of Chinese fantasy and martial arts. It is derived from his obsession with oriental philosophy.Seven years ago, driven by such an obsession, he came to the Liberal Arts College of Chongqing University for further study.
Xuan Yifeng is a "hardcore fan" of the Chuang-tzu. And he frequently quotes the Confucius and Chuang-tzu. For example,he interprets "liberal" by quoting Chuangtze's "To drive instead of driven by the material desire". He believes Chuang-tzu's conception is still applicable to modern people after thousands of years. ”
Since graduation, he has been based in Chongqing and become a professor of Sichuan International Studies University,teaching spoken English and translation.
Since July of last year, he has gained a new identity: Foreign journalist of Chongqing International Communication Center. So when we first met Xuan Yifeng at the Three Gorges Square, he was having a street interview on seniors entertainment.

05 三峡广场的雕塑让玄易风联想到他很喜欢的重庆美食
在重庆生活了7年,玄易风觉得重庆最大的魅力在于山城的“江湖”。
见我对“江湖”有疑问,玄易风笑着解释,说这个“江湖”,其实就是“生活”。很多生活在重庆的人之所以喜欢重庆,最重要的一点就是重庆的生活。
这当然也包括外国人。
说到“江湖”,玄易风首先就说到吃。他向我们回忆起重庆大学那段最美好的时光:下课后,他常常穿过重大校园的老房子,沿着一条小路到一个老居民区。……
