Memory of these 18 days is so crowded that it is difficult to separate one event from another, one phase from the next: the dramatic, the moving, the bizarre, and the unreal from the bathetic. But the thread that united all, the theme that remained unerringly constant, was the yearning for “change” – immediate, real, and tangible, not a promise or a tantalizing, unreachable mirage.
过去18天的记忆如此密集，以致于难以区分不同的事件和阶段： 惊喜、感动、离奇、梦幻和平凡交织在一起。 可是对“变革”的向往是联接这一切的线索和一以贯之的主题——这种变革不是虚无的承诺或诱人却又可望不可及的海市蜃楼，而是近在眼前的现实事件。
