壮观的沙漠,一望无际的农场,喧嚣的城市……他爱这个全新国家的一切,在这里安家落户,却在女儿长大后想起了自己的故乡;他怀着乡愁回到祖国,重新看到故乡的群山和河流,却又开始思念异国他乡的一草一木……若干年后,“我”也踏上他走过的路,终于理解了这一切。《外公的旅程》是宛如一帧帧写满历史的老照片,艾伦·塞伊通过回忆外公在美日两国的生活,饱含深情地讲述了自己家庭的跨文化经验,不仅唤起对家族、民族、梦想的人类共通的情感,也在东西方两种文化之间搭起一座桥梁。
The magnificent desert, the endless reaches of the farm, the hustle and bustle of the city... Grandfather loves everything in this new country and thus, decided to settle here. However, when his daughter grows up and leaves, he starts to remember his hometown; he returns to see his homeland with nostalgia. The mountains and rivers began to miss the plants and trees in a foreign country again... A few years later, I also set foot on the road he had walked, and finally understood all of this. "Grandpa's Journey" is like old photos full of history. Through reminiscences of grandpa’s life in the United States and Japan, Alan Say speaks affectionately about his family’s cross-cultural experience. The common emotions that encapsulate nations and dreams also builds a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures.
