"The hippies here are cultured, bookish people who've consciously and deliberately moved out to the countryside to live the kind of non-mainstream lives they want to lead. There aren't any jobs here, but most of the hippies here manage to scrape together some kind of small living, enough to cover their basic expenses for cigarettes, booze, and rent," explains Wang, himself no stranger to the literary life.
「這裡的嬉皮是有意識地在過自己想要過的非主流生活，實則文弱書生來到鄉下，也沒什麼好的就業機會，多數仍會幹點活，謀個小生計，應付平日抽煙喝酒或繳房租的簡單花費。」
