本集虽是过渡集，但几场戏的表现力都不输于正常的高潮戏，无论是开头偷天换日的行动，还是安息日夜晚埃伯的复杂状态，亦或是片尾的夜总会群架，都是非常好看且耐看的章节。

看这集我会产生一种错觉，即“人们就算知道所作所为会造成不愿看到的结果，最后还是会进行到底”……而这种飞速驶向悬崖的无力与刺激，也是《巴比伦柏林》的主要看点之一。

调包计

襟怀纳百川，志越万仞山。目极千年事，心地一平原。

要想写作，就先生活；要想塑造英雄人物，就先塑造自己。

生活，是作家最大的学校。在生活里，学徒可能变成大师。离开生活，大师也可能变成匠人。

我的《创业史》怕是写不完了，但我们的生活还要继续。将来会有更好的作品来反映我们民族的伟大创世史。

——柳青

认识柳青；从《创业史》开始。

《创业史》本来将是分为四部的长篇史诗作品，柳青先生的宏愿便是以笔来反映我们民族的创业史，为着这一朴素的创作观，他一猛子扎进西安县的皇甫村中。“我和农民一起生活，但他们不知道我在写一门关于他们的书。”柳青在和共产国际记者解释到这儿，咧着嘴笑了，正同一个淳朴的农民兄弟那样。

作家唯有进入生活才能写出作品的真，这一过程可称之为“体验生活”。延安座谈会以后，毛泽东提出”文艺为工农兵服务，文艺为人民服务。影片中的一次文艺界动员会上，大部分作家为响应这一号召都提出了自己的写作目标：“一部某某万字的长篇、一百首诗……”柳青坐在会场里，双手合抱，低着头，那已经是农民青一色的光头了。他说：“我说不好，还需要时间，长篇写作需要进入。”

一个作家的初心，它不为名利所驱驾，哪怕是“脱离群众命意志衰退”这样的批评都不能使他回头。“志越万仞山”已经表明，他所进行的是一次开创性的尝试，他不允许自己回头。“目极千年事”，他所见即真实，过去、现在的真实，未来的真实，以及农村的真实。先生怎么会是脱离群众呢？影片落幕前，他站在山坡上，望着山脚下赶着黑马走过的老农，眼泪就落下了，坦言“我看着他们都亲”。先生又怎么是革命意志衰退呢？跃进时期，他对王家斌直言道：“干得好的事咱就干，干不好咱就不干。”他反复问及办社的初哀，一心守护创业的真实，他所怀揣的一颗心正是一颗坚定的前进的心。

《创世史》的创作从不平坦，上司的批评、妻子的不理解、出版社的催稿，但这些从来使他退缩。“难难难，创此它不就是个难事嘛，任何难都有功法解决。”先生难的时候，点上一枝烟，看看书桌前的自己在托尔斯泰墓前的相片，当他吐出一口缭绕之气时，好像困难都烟消云散了。农民创业的艰辛、他自己创作的艰苦他都咽下了，妻子马藏的去世却让他失去了镇定。他从那张放着妻子遗物的桌子旁一声不吭地走出房间，小文书紧跟上为雨中的他撑伞，他扬起拄着的拐杖把伞挡了回去。多少年一贯的乐观劲儿都被这一无言的沉痛深深湮没了。饶是如此，先生还是回过身去，拖着病弱之躯完成《创业史》的二三部。这几部书里边蕴藏的不是天才的文思泉涌，而是一颗赤诚的坚守真实的心。

《创业史》读的人大概越来越少了。《平凡的世界》尚受着许多年轻人的喜爱，却很少有人知道路遥正是以老师柳青的夙愿为创作目标的。《平凡的世界》记录了一个农工时代的变迁，《创业史》则是农民亲手开创未来的史诗。是的，我们依然记得大屠杀，记得大跃进，记得改革开放，然而我常觉得历史缥缈了，只剩下了个轮廓。至少对于年轻一辈的我们而言，它缺失了它应有的活力，就好像一轮月挂在空中，它一直在那儿，可我们从未真正靠近它。艺术源于生活，打动人心的经典之作往往如此；艺术反映生活，不是要复刻与临募生活现象，而是反映本质，本质要通过细节去挖掘。一个好作品，首先要守住真实的底线，任何的歪曲都可谓之粉饰太平。心里太平安，也就趋于木然了，正需要反映真的作品涌现，在更好的未来设想上深闯出一条道来。

I tried meditation several years ago. After reading the biography of Steve Jobs, a super fan of meditation and Zen, I decided to wake up in a morning and try it myself. I sat on my single bed, one leg crossing the other with hands on my knees, gently closed my eyes and followed the instructions I found on the internet. "Find a comfortable position." "Be aware of your body." "Focus on your breath." "No matter what you are feeling, just let it happen." "Let the ground around you support you", etc.

Just like Sylvianne in The Silence, I wanted to "find it in me." After about four minutes, I felt like thousands of ants were moving on my body. My mind was totally out of control. All I wanted to do was to stretch myself and get the hell out of that situation. In a word, the whole meditation thing, for me, was nothing but torture.

I wasn't disappointed. It was just one ruined morning. But for Sylvianne, who made such a big trip all the way from Europe to America, with all the money, time, and effort, it is different. She couldn't just quit and get the hell out of that jungle. She came with the bitterness of solidarity, just like we all do every day, and wouldn't leave without solving it.

So, she stayed, kept participating in all the activities in that small land of silence, laughed and dreamt during sessions, leaving other people's experiences ruined. Her body was restricted. Her mouth was shut. But her mind was wandering in the world of imagination. Ironically, the silence around her made her more restless. Then a man came. She fell in love with him almost right away, a typically wild American man with broad shoulders, long hair and soft eyes. After the event, she visited him in the cabin he had built by himself. They got married, had a baby and lived happily thereafter.

It's a fairy tale in terms of content and form. It's a pop song that makes people addicted. It's a poem that would be collected into a bestseller instead of a classic one. I love it, personally. And I would be more than happy if I went to such an event to "find it in me', to solve my emptiness and solidarity, but end up living with an exotic girl in a cabin.

But, at the end of the day, problems just weren't solved. Love is brilliant, but is it the answer? Is it the power to solve the bitterness? Is it the thing that Sylvianne flew half of the world to try to find? I doubt that. It brings happiness and strength but never solves anything.

People were finally allowed to talk. The guru finally found that the price tag was there on his coat. The event is finally over. It's as if anything was solved, but nothing was solved. Maybe that's the meaning of any other experience, or maybe they should go to India or Japan for real meditation and Zen, where there are fewer McDonalds and more true gurus.
