1994年,一部《北京人在纽约》成了当时的经典。“纽约”与美国梦一起成了一群人追逐的目标。对于一个时代的人来说,纽约便是他们关于现代化和浮华的启蒙。在很长一段时间里,纽约里的建筑、灯火酒绿、夜夜笙歌成为诸多城市效仿的典范,尽管很多人会说,那是个繁华到没有文化沉淀的城池。《了不起的盖茨比》里的纽约是带着一股颓败但奢华忧伤的。而这种奢华的忧伤,一直以来都是纽约这座城在我心底的印象。 In 1994, a Beijinger in New York became a classic at the time. “New York ” with the American dream has become a group of people chasing the goal. For a time, New York is their enlightenment about modernization and flashyness. For a long time, the buildings in New York City, the glittering lights and the sound of night and night became the model for many cities to follow suit, though many would say that it is a busy city with no cultural precipitation. New York in “The Great Gatsby” was with a decadent but extravagant sadness. And this extravagant sadness has always been the impression of New York City in my heart.
