AVANTGARDE
you don’t know it exists
it’s there
you forget about it
it’s there
you use it
it’s there
you betray it
it’s there
it exists apart
from you

Translated by MW, Feb. 2018
《先锋》
你不知其有
它在那儿
你忘记其有
它在那儿
你利用它时
它在那儿
你背叛它时
它在那儿
它存在于
你之外

MUST CRY OUT
one person
in his 27 years in power
with his own hands
set in motion 55
big and small political campaigns
plunged his country in misery
made his people suffer to death
when I get to know this information
my mouth stands open
I want to cry: “grandpa!”
I want to cry: “grandma!”
I want to cry: “papa!”
I want to cry: “mama!
I want to cry: “uncle! aunt!”
I need to cry out
for all my relatives
all my seniors in my relatives
I want to tell them:
you had it so hard
in your generation
I forgive you everything

ICH MUSS EUCH RUFEN
ein mensch
hat in 27 jahren seiner herrschaft
mit eigener hand
55 kleinere und größere
politische kampagnen in gang gesetzt
sein land ins elend gestürzt
sein volk auf den tod zugerichtet
als ich diese nachricht erfahr
bleibt mein mund offen stehen
ich will rufen: “opa!”
will rufen: “oma!”
will rufen: “papa!”
will rufen: “mama!”
will rufen: “onkel! tanten!”
ich muss alle rufen
alle meine verwandten
alle älteren verwandten
ich will ihnen sagen
ihr habt es viel zu schwer,
viel zu schwer gehabt
ich verzeihe euch alles

《深情呼唤》
一个人
在他统治的27年间
亲手发动了55场
大大小小的政治运动
将其国家拖进水火
将其人民朝死里整
——当我得知这条信息
嘴巴张得老大
我想叫一声爷爷
我想叫一声奶奶
我想叫一声爸爸
我想叫一声妈妈
我还想叫一声
大伯、姑妈、舅舅
我想深情呼唤
我所有的亲人
亲人中的长辈
我想对他们说：
你们这辈子
活得太不容易了
我原谅了你们的一切

DIE GESCHICHTE VON LOTUSPHÖNIX
Zhao Fenglian
Lotusphönix
1957 geboren
im Dorf Wang Ying im Kreis der Stadt Yun
kannte kein Dampfbrötchen bis sie drei war
lebte von Blättern und Gras
Schnurbaumblätter, Süßkartoffelblätter
Weizenkeime waren das Höchste
Sie weinte vor Hunger nach Weizenkeimen
Ihre Mama fand irgendwo eine Schlange
versteckte sie am Gürtel
erdrückte sie
brachte sie heimlich zur Küche der Volkskommune
buk sie gar
Lotusphönix
trug einen lehmigen Duft um die Schultern
daheim dann
zu dritt
aufgeteilt
ein großer Festschmaus

凤莲传
赵思运
赵凤莲
生于1957年
郓城县王营村人
三岁前没见过馒头
吃的全是地瓜叶槐树叶萋萋芽
最好吃的是嫩麦苗
饿急了就哭着要苗苗
她娘不知道在哪里找来一条长虫
缠在腰里
用力把它捋死
偷偷拿到大队食堂里
烤熟后
一缕黄黄的香气搭在凤莲的肩膀上
回到家里
三口人
一人一截
大快朵颐

조봉련
1957년생
운성현 왕영촌 사람
세 살이 되기까지는 찐빵을 본 적이 없고
먹은 것이라곤 고구마잎, 홰나무잎과 萋萋芽뿐이다
제일 맛있는 건 애보리싹이다
배가 고파서 못견딜 지경이면 울면서
보리싹을 내놓으라고 졸랐다
그녀의 어머니는 어디서 구해온 건지 모를
기다란 벌레 한 마리를 옆구리에 꿰차고 왔다
힘껏 그것을 비틀어 죽인 후
살그머니 대대식당에 가져갔다
구운 후의
한 가닥 노란색의 향기가 봉련의 어깨위에 걸쳐진다
집에 돌아와
세 식구는
한 사람이 한 토막씩
우적우적 씹어먹었다
