文学创作十四年间,除了出版两本长篇小说和两本生活随笔集,其间断断续续地创作了二十多篇中短篇小说,有的已经发表,有的获奖,有的还没发表。此集自选了十七篇描写加拿大普通百姓日常生活的中短篇小说,每一篇小说都含有源自真实生活情节,大部分故事主角都有原型,并在真实原型的基础上加以文学意义上的重塑,虚化和扩展。
重读并修改所写的短篇小说,是对心灵与体能的挑战,也是几十年生活足迹的回望。阅读《蓝色的北极光》时,依旧记得当时为了一气呵成写出这个搅得我内心不安的故事,我用了三个不眠之夜。回读《金戒指,银戒指》时,依旧记得爱德蒙顿大学地铁站那位帅气男士给坐轮椅妻子深情之吻的情景,记得爱德蒙顿寒风中相依取暖的拾荒夫妇。《翻译》(此小说在征文中得奖)女主角是虚构,但其中的某些片段是我亲身经历:我曾帮一位朋友翻译过情书给他的网恋中国女友,又或在他经谷歌和微软翻译的基础上加以修改。《雪域中餐馆》故事创作灵感源自于一位朋友的亲身经历与其叙述的故事。虽在此小说中做了文学性修改,因曾居住过加拿大小镇,与小镇里的中餐馆老板有交谈,自然写起来也顺手(此小说在国内一个文学笔会得二等奖)。近十年,我工作于不同城市的大专学院,生活和工作中都接触不少各国留学生,因而近期写的题材多为中国留学生之学习与生活故事,于是也就有了《原色》,《西装》,《温度》和《线上,线下》。《渥京城的故事》初稿于2003年,完稿于2016年,除夕背景原型是2000年的渥太华唐人街。而《三串钥匙》和《北极光下》两篇新完成的短篇小说,是我居住于加拿大北方小镇两年的收获,其中不少故事和原型取自于我生活的周围。或许是太过于真实,又或许是切身经历了一些事,写这两篇小说的过程很疲惫,有时甚至是艰涩,矛盾,沉重。写完这两篇新短篇小说时,正值深冬狂雪纷扬,一位即将完成学业的留学生
