    你是哪里人

    经常被人问起这个问题,起因很简单,我并不能算苏州人。

     

    儿时随父母来到苏州,还是懵懂少年,不会讲苏州话,于是经常被问:你是哪里人?

    我一直很难回答这个问题,户口簿上清清楚楚写着籍贯辽宁,可是哪里人和籍贯显然是两件事情,儿时还会怯怯懦懦地说自己是东北人,如今来到上海,根本不敢在这个汇集全国各路精英的城市自称东北人。本来嘛,我从来没去过东北,怎敢妄称东北银?于是长大后我常常用流利的苏州话耐心地向问者解释,父亲是东北人,母亲是陕北人,我出生在四川,在苏州长大。

    如今到了上海,我已无需如此繁琐的解释,父母在苏州,每个周末都要回家,自然说我来自苏州。中文虽然神奇,但也过于罗索,如果用英语来回答这个问题,只消说我来自苏州。这是绝对正确的,虽未生于斯,但却长于斯,二十多年的岁月,我最熟悉的,当然还是苏州。说自己是东北人,似乎有强加之嫌,说自己是四川人,记忆淡薄得没有往事,说自己是苏州人,大约是可以得到父母的首肯的。于是如今,对这个问题,我淡定自若。

     

    如今宝贝女儿,生于上海,籍贯上海,我却希望她长在苏州,苏州的吴侬软语,大约是最适合女子的语言了,但是未来何去何从,谁也说不清楚。如果以后女儿问我,她是哪里人,我又该如何作答。

    就你那个模子,哪里像东北人啊。
    典型的婉约派苏州人士嘛。
     
    苏州话太嗲了,还是老上海话的调调比较优雅,可惜都被赶到中国大陆以外去了。我也说不来。
