1.
重返西安交大，
以―个用爱心制造天气的人。
带上一盒蕃喱美巧克力
和中西部的李子，
久违的思念---
装扮了美联航的班机，
和窗外的云，覆盖在
密西根湖中央的船
和一位钓鱼的芝加哥人
挥手致意。
天空仿佛一个巨大的空缺，
省略了辽阔和
蓝，像一只鸟遥远的记忆。
在去西安的高铁上，
几乎忘记的梦想
在晨星间闪现。
那石榴花装扮的
街道，像一条繁忙的银河
流向时间的另一面.
一万一千一百公里的旅程，
直到在这一条街上，
彩虹在花瓣的薄雾间
颤栗着翅膀。
当计程车停在兴庆公园对面时，
我从饮水思源喷泉的水雾中
抵达.
2.
在美国的中西部城市，
找一家西安风味的餐馆,
来自一种呼唤。
在唐人街的一个小角落，
一家理发店旁。我们向戴着
芝加哥公牛队帽子的理发师
招手。
服务员穿着唐装，带着
福建的口音， 落在
八张桌子上。
邻桌的点菜单，像在看
另一位学生的试卷。
我点了一份羊肉泡馍1，
熟悉的味道，回到
另―个中西部城市，在
地球的另一边。
当月亮从西安交大的上空
升起时，在东花园的樱花树下，
我们从教授公寓的
一场羊肉泡馍聚餐离开后，
躺在草坪上，听着录音带里
翰·列侬的“幻想”，
年青的血液
因幻想中 诗歌和文字
缤纷的世界
沸腾。
电话铃声把我从回忆中唤醒，
一位校友兴奋地说，
“我们去密西根钓鱼了，
收获两桶鱼，
要过来拿一些吗？“
当然啰！
今晚炖鱼汤，用上
从中餐馆买的饦饦馍2。
哦，那樱花盛开的校园
从寂静的
密西根湖面上
闪过…
3.
或者化作―枚新鲜的李子
重回交大，高产，
像我祈祷的一样，
完整，像我祈祷的一样，
甜美，圆润，成功，
像我祈祷的一样，
水灵，像我祈祷的一样，
心怀喜悦，无论我是谁，
有内核，像我祈祷的一样，
不在机遇间
迷失，
也不因诱惑腐化，
在时光的航线上，
不论我是谁，
去过哪里---
以一枚崭新的李子，
重返西安，
在爱心中降临。
1羊肉泡馍是西安市最有名的菜肴，即饦饦馍泡羊肉汤。
2饦饦馍是用于羊肉汤泡馍的特殊面饼，用发酵面和死面混合制成。
From the Other Side of Earth
for Xi’an Jiaotong University
by Shelley Kristina Hu
1.
To go back to Xi’an Jiaotong University,
as the one making weather with love.
To pack a box of Fannie Mae chocolate
and Midwestern plums,
long lost longings---
adorns the plane of United Airline
and the clouds outside the window, covering
the boat on Lake Michigan, waving to
a Chicagoan fishing ashore.
The sky looks like an enormous vacancy,
lacking the vastness
and blue, as if a bird’s distant memory.
On the high-speed train to Xi’an,
the morning stars twinkling between
barely remembered dreams.
The pomegranate flower lined
streets, wind down like sparkling
river to the other side of time.
The journey of 7,000 miles,
until on this street,
the rainbow between the flower petals
flutters its wings.
When the taxi stops across Xingqing Park,
from the mist of the Gratitude Fountain,
I debut.
2.
To find a Xi’an fusion restaurant in
a city of Midwestern U.S.A.
is a labor of love.
In a small corner of Chinatown,
next to a barber shop, we waved to
the hairdresser wearing
a Chicago Bulls’ cap.
The waiter dressed in Tang costume,
his Fujian accent, all over
the eight tables.
The menu on a neighbor’s table,
as if peeping another student’s test paper.
I ordered the Lamb Soup Paomo1.
the familiar flavor, traveled back
to another Midwestern city
on the other side of Earth.
When the moon rising above the sky of
Xi’an Jiaotong University,
under the cherry blossoms in East Garden,
after a feast of Lamb Soup Paomo
at a professor’s apartment,
we lay on the lawn, listened to a cassette tape
playing John Lennon’s Imagine,
young blood
was boiling
at the imagination of a ravishing world
bettered by poetry and words.
A phone ring woke me up from memories,
An alumna sounded exciting on the phone:
We went fishing in Michigan
and caught two full bullets of basses,
wanna come over to get some?
Of course,
perfect for the fish stew tonight,
with the extra Tuotuomo2
just bought from the Chinese restaurant.
O, the campus of cherry blossoms
flashed across
the serene
face of Lake Michigan…
3.
Or to return to college campus
as a fresh plum, prolific,
as I pray to be,
whole, as I pray to be,
sweet and smooth and successful,
as I pray to be,
juicy, as I pray to be,
taking pleasure in who I am,
hardcore, as I pray to be,
neither to stray between
possibilities,
nor to be swept away by temptations,
in the flight of time,
no matter who I am,
where I have been---
to return to Xi’an
as a brand new plum,
arrive in love.
1Lamb Soup Paomo is the most famous dish of Xi’an city, with pita bread soaked in lamb soup.
2Tuotuomo is the special pita bread used for Lamb Soup Paomo, made with both fermented flour and regular flour.
