雨果在盖纳西岛流亡的时候写完《悲惨世界》,他指出19世纪法国面临的三大问题:贫穷使男人潦倒,饥饿使女人堕落、黑暗使儿童羸弱。如今看来,是那么的亲切。少时读书,我完全不相信指鹿为马、掩耳盗铃这样违背基本逻辑的故事,对晋惠帝说出“何不食肉粥”这样的话更觉得蠢到不可思议,现在我只相信:太阳底下没有新鲜事,为何不食肉粥?或许只是他冷漠的幽默呐?
那些为草木风声而心惊肉跳的人,其实太低估经典文学作品的境界,雨果创作了《悲惨世界》150年后,各种版本的文艺作品依然能常演常新、打动人心,不在于它是战斗檄文,或宣传号角,在于它描绘了波澜壮阔的人间万象,专权者看出风起云涌、多情者看出儿女情长、自省者看出人生救赎。
因此,比起慷慨激昂的“Do you hear the peoplesing”,我更喜欢决战前夜的“One Day More”,慷慨赴义者准备了牺牲的勇气,一见钟情的情侣期待相见的忐忑、有污点的圣人和洁癖的殉道者狭路相逢,蝇营狗苟的投机夫妇不谋而合,再加上孤苦相思的少女,冷眼旁观的庸众:这种经典的叙事多线糅杂、复调交织共鸣,宛若黎明前的黑暗沉闷而汹涌,为后来的情感宣泄,蓄积了排山倒海的情绪能量。
《悲惨世界》里丰富的人物关系,既有爱憎分明的黑白对立,在深度和广度两个个维度又有深浅不一的灰度过渡。它的壮丽之处,更在于它不是歌颂伟大的成功,反而咏叹伟大的失败。青年学生的慷慨就义没有换来市民的支持、血染长街,与此同时,意志坚定的沙威也无法面对人生信条,纵身殉道,这些伟大的失败,不就是悲惨世界里一直渲染的“OneDay More”?他让理想主义远离功利主义的侵袭:希望是悲惨世界里奋斗的目标,而不是投机获利的筹码。
不是每个牺牲都有回报,因为牺牲本身就是价值。
爱护他人,就是上帝存在的证明。为明日而奋不顾身,就是今天的意义。
One Day More!

Do you hearthe people sing Les Misérables
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
