About

本書以中英雙語呈現了一位華裔太空人小李的生命故事。從月球基地的靜謐獨思開始,小李在遠離地球的孤寂中回望人生得失,思念新婚妻子貝蒂,思索航天事業的未來。一場突如其來的颶風打亂了他返回地球的計劃,卻為他開啟了更廣闊的人生探索。

重返波士頓後,小李與貝蒂在多元文化的"八福地"公寓安家,結識了來自各族的鄰居,逐漸融入美國郊區的社區生活。從蔚藍鎮的遊園會到山坡農場的友人相聚,從遊泳池的小小沖突到秋日紅葉的詩意吟誦,每一個片段都細膩地描繪了他們在跨文化婚姻中的理解與成長。

本書最動人的篇章是小李攜貝蒂重返故鄉成都。在這座悠閒而充滿歷史底蘊的城市中,小李追溯家族在抗戰時期的苦難記憶,分享童年在四川蒲陽場(空軍幼年學校發源地)的溫暖點滴;而貝蒂則通過杜甫草堂的廣廈情懷與成都的茶館文化,找到了與中國文化的心靈共鳴。從月球到成都,從美國到中國,從星際探索到故土尋根,小李在兩種文明的交匯處,漸漸找到了安放自我的方式,也讓貝蒂在異國他鄉觸摸到了他生命中最深處的脈絡。

●Forward●

Xiao Li found a rare sense of peace on the moon.
Several questions suddenly popped into his mind.
"This is the perfect opportunity to reflect on the gains and losses of the past few years,"
He couldn't help but think of his newlywed wife, Betty, and his space career... Suddenly, his train of thought was interrupted-a sudden change in the weather had altered his plans for returning to Earth.
It wasn't until five days later that Xiao Li saw his bride again. In their new home, they met their new neighbors; it turned out to be a multi-ethnic, multi- generation apartment complex. Xiao Li also introduced Betty to his old friends- mostly are from various countries who loved nature, worked hard, and were open-minded.
On a chancy occasion, Xiao Li took Betty back to his birthplace, Chengdu, China. He shared all his childhood memories with her, and they discovered a common bond in their hearts, beginning to appreciate the joys this environment offered.
I'd like to thank my wife, Anne Hu and cousin, James Shao, for helping me to proofread my first cut. Also, collaborations with Deepseek and Google are appreciated to make this book bilingual possible.
