Legend has it that in the 80’s of the last century, there’s a smart boy born to the Li family in Guiyang, Guizhou. Later that little boy was all grown up and now he's writing this piece. :p I don’t remember a lot of things about my childhood there so I really wanted to relive the childhood life. Then, I decided to visit places where I spent most of my childhood. And you know, I still remember this dream I had a bit while ago. In the dream, it's in the evening. But I could see some orangey light painted on the façade of some residential buildings in front of me. I was looking down at some stairs going downwards leading towards a courtyard. And on the right-hand side of the courtyard, there’s a slope going down. I don’t remember what happened there in the dream or what conversation I had with anybody. But I remember this dream particularly well, because this place feels familiar yet I don't know where it could be. Guess what, it turns out that it’s our first apartment compound where I spent about a year and half as a little kid. Aha! It’s funny how your brain remembers it subconsciously but you just can't recall. If I didn’t go there and see it myself this time, I’m afraid that this place would forever exist in my dream.

传说在上个世纪 80 年代，有一个聪慧的小男孩降生在贵州贵阳一户姓李的人家。后来小男孩长大了，也就是他现在在写这篇分享文。:p 小时候的事情我大多都记不太清了，但我很想重温一下童年的经历。所以这次回家我决定走访走访小时候长大的一些根据地。说到这里，好几年前做的一个梦我始终都还记得。梦里是晚上，橘黄色的路灯照亮着眼前一排的住家户。顺着我的脚下望去，前面是一坎坎向下的楼梯，楼梯的下面是一个小坝坝，小坝坝的右手边是一个小坡坡。梦里发生了什么，我和谁有着什么样的对话，我都不太记得了。但我记得有这样一个梦，而且梦里的这个地方感觉很熟悉。但这是到底哪儿呢？我总在想。结果，这个地方是我很小的时候与父母搬进住的第一个家。神奇啊！任凭我怎么回忆都想不起来的地方，在潜意识里却藏着这个地方那么久。要不是这回实地去走一遭，恐怕这个地方就永远只能在梦里存在了。
