Taipingshan (Mt. Taiping) 太平山 1820年
太平山
太平山這個蒼涼又偉大的名字是扁柏、檜木的斷頭刑場，是埋葬千年巨人的寒涼墓地。無數工匠對它砍盡伐絕，所彰顯的豐功偉業令我們深感內疚。這個地方今天仍以它散落四處的巨大頭顱深深撼動靈魂。或許，檜木是以它不凡的成就才招致如此悲慘的下場。
人類在延長壽命的努力上從不懈怠，所有醫療保健養生莫不朝向「活得更久」的目標邁進，今天能活上百歲的人便可以被尊稱「人瑞」，足見此事艱難不易。可是對檜木來說百歲還是嬰兒，活上二、三千歲很正常，這種巨大的生物的確達成了人夢也夢不到的願景。超過三千歲還能抽枝發芽提煉太陽能，我們的醫療科技與吹捧自我的生物進化論搬到它面前都成了笑話。不過人與它面對面並不見得會欽佩它偉大的生命成就，因為有些人天賦異稟，走到哪、看到啥都能想到錢，遍地新植的柳杉林，便突顯了人因為夭壽短命所能理解的短視近利。
十二月的陽光薄得絲毫不帶暖意，太平山卻堅持不褪下它一身綠裝，整個傍晚森林如著火般燃著壯麗夕照的熱情。身旁猶有三五株檜木幼苗，從斷頭的母株旁奮力竄出，摸著它細軟的皮膚，不禁喃喃自問：「人還會再給你三千年嗎？」
這是漫長的人心接力賽，不是任何一代人答得來的問題。默然佇立，只聽到一兩聲嗶嗶剝剝的聲音，那是剛踩過的枯枝回彈的聲響，其餘的靜悄悄的，什麼也聽不到了。
Taipingshan (Mt. Taiping)
Taipingshan (Mt. Taiping), with a desolate and grand name, is the guillotine for Japan cypress and Chinese cypress. It is a chilly graveyard where thousand-year-old giant timbers were buried. Countless workmen contribute best efforts to ensure a massacre of timbers and such monumental performance makes us feel so guilty. Today, in this place those giant heads scattering all over and the scene deeply shocks our souls. Perhaps the Chinese cypress has such miserable fate just because of its outstanding quality.
We human beings never neglect for longevity. All medicals, health care and wellness beings are aimed for the goal of “living longer.” Today people who reaches 100 years old are respectively called as centenarians, in which indicates this is not easy to achieve. For cypress, 100 years old is still like an infant because they usually live over 2 to 3 thousand years old normally. Such giant creature indeed reaches the dreaming vision that human beings could not yet. As cypress could easily reach over 3 thousand years old and still grow branches and sprouts as well as extract solar power, our medical technologies and self-flattered biological evolution theory all become jokes in front of this fact. However, when men encounter with cypress tree, they don’t always admire the outstanding live achievement. Some people are born with such specific talent that they always think of money wherever they are and whatever they see. The newly-planted cryptomeria forest shows human beings’ short-sight and short-termism that are only understood because our relatively short lives.
The December Sun is so dim that one cannot feel the warmth while Taipingshan still resists not to get rid of the verdant outfit. During the nightfall the forest presents such burning passion that implies the splendor sunset. By my side there are few new cypress shoots straggling out from the cut-off mother stem. While touching its soft skin, I cannot help but ask myself: “Would human beings grant you another 3 thousand years?”
This is an endless relay race of human nature and not a simple question could be easily answered by any generation of human beings. Standing silently, I only hear one or two crispy sound. It is made by those withered braches bunching back from my stepping. Otherwise it is so quiet that I hear nothing.
