千山谷之祖鲁舞（照片） 还是走吧。我们出了鳄鱼园，我们又到对面去观看祖鲁舞蹈表演，从卖工艺品的房子往里走，门口经由一个穿着祖鲁服饰的男子查票后，我们又往里面走，就看到几座圆顶的茅草屋，小华在其中的一座小屋前留了影，我回来后细看，才发现原来屋前的木柱上居然也雕刻着祖鲁人的头像，祖鲁人的头像真的是无处不在呀，我经常看到连圆珠笔杠也雕有这种头像，更不要说其它各种各样的木雕了。然后我们跟着人群进了一间大圆屋，里面有二个祖鲁人，其中的一个可能是主持人，他指挥着男性坐在左边，而女性则必须坐在右边的，可爱的马丁偏不，明明左边座位空了好多，他仍要说左边没有座位，硬要往右边挤。然后大家安静下来，听着主持人说了一大堆有可能是祖鲁风俗的简介，人群不时爆发出阵阵笑声，然后还不时看到那人拿起身后的刀叉呀长枪呀之类的，摸拟捕杀动物的动作。 在主持人一句Thank you之后，大家都走出茅屋，在一个半露天的茅屋中的石条上坐下，石条上铺有很多的蒲团，大家坐定后，就出来了一队祖鲁男子，只见他们个个一手拿长枪，一手拿着盾牌（他们的盾牌非铁非木，而是在一根竹子上叉着一块厚而硬的兽皮制成的），他们的后面是一大堆的鼓，有个盛装的黑人妇女在那儿等待着。只见一个穿着普通衣服的黑人上前说了几句什么，那些黑人就开始跳了起来，舞姿并不优美，但是每个人都很卖力，舞蹈风格粗犷，伴随着震天响的鼓声，气势磅礴，挺震憾人心的。 接下来是一男一女二个黑人上来，这次更多的是对白，仿佛在演示祖鲁人求婚的场景，我只听懂：I love you 这句，最后的动作是男的单腿跪在女的面前，人群里爆发出笑声，二人趁机向观众致谢后下了台。 随后是一群妇女上场，按咱东方的审美观点，那些女的又黑又矮又胖，粗粗壮壮的腿臂，一点都算不上美女，跳的舞蹈动作同男队的动作没多大区别，但是这次却伴随着嘹亮的祖鲁语歌声，又是别一种风格。 最后的压轴戏是众人皆出场，排着队唱起了南非的国歌（我当然听不懂，但是全场大半人都起立，表情庄重，问到小华，才知道唱的是国歌），看来爱国的情思无处不在，不分肤色，无关种族。 Post by 戴何骏 发表于 2005-8-7 0:01:59 http://www.xinxinbao.com/oblog31/user1/198/archives/2005/4742.html

上学期有幸入选清华大学公派学生出国交换计划，离开清华大学北京协和医学院前往加拿大多伦多大学医学院学习，点点滴滴收获颇多，感悟也非一时能写完。最近在利用课余时间读医学史家Michael Bliss写的《The Discovery of Insulin》，备感多伦多大学前人创业之艰，同时在如何做人做学问方面，大师的风范让我一生受益。 文章我正在给系刊《荷风》写一篇，先贴一个我上学期放假后制作的一个摄影集，供大家欣赏。 Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
