湊仔婆作家
吳萱人
她出奇不意地與我共同現身場合。身後有喚起賤名一把聲音。
然後我們開始相隔兩年的細碎交談,說這說那,都與場合的事不大關係。失驚無神間,打開大挽袋找東西,東西不少,一小袋小袋的拎出隨放一一同時拋下一句:「湊仔婆係咁……」
我不能不愕然:兒女均已長大成才,怎麼過往辛苦理家的心事,竟長鬱於一句如斯說話?
聯想多多,觸及以前曾自問過:兩人扭合成一共同志趣的生命,是否無可能,泰多中場分手,悲劇命定?如社運,如好文,如更激越的革命。
個人廚身社運數十年,仍邊緣人。歲月長河所因,曾觀察與祈盼那雙雙對對的風華正茂人兒,人家青春結伴好還鄉,他們則青春結伴意氣揚;逆知,揚起浪孟不多時日,消息散播,噩事紛紜。結果,還是墮入「人難以久」的宿命。那時候,想起也覺美:雙劍合璧闖湖海去,志不成時誓不還……
而所謂文界呢,伉儷影雙也不少;但總是感覺漸漸名望參差,陽揚陰黯,即使合集一二,看官還是薄知綰髮人──或已現實持家湊仔婆,讓他自風流,自招揚,以至自敷粉人生。
其實不一定全然。看新鳳霞與吳祖光;看楊絳與錢鍾書,可舉例子不少,相識的有詩人校長與校長夫人。詩人校長新編孔丘題材為首見粵劇,二零一三年十月十日,借慶中大50年,三度搬演。我笑語校長:看出了「潛主題」,為非常女性說話。校長不直答,卻把私函抽出,印入書內。叫伊「校長夫人」,屬熟朋友的熱情取笑話而已,私底下直呼阿惜,以前筆名「禮拜六」的字音起頭。有回,與阿惜同席隣座,伊說:「我還記得你在《中報周刊‧五人筆記》那篇老胡寫荷花池題材文末的補白,真不錯。「哎,即時閉嘴。思想起,我們五人:陶俊余子賢君實邢少蘿爾城,輪番《文社線》附刊雙版面外,擴往【中原】版。那補白命「如題」,是版編黄天翎臨時要求,遂即時想起屯門戲院前一發生年青女教師不慎墜水殞命後,其地自長蓮花傘傘的傳說。夫人阿惜記性真好,兩女一子,絕對「相夫」兼教子復持家,之餘,踏台板,展腔細歌《再上紫鳳樓》──另位湊仔婆過來人,玉顏丰姿兩不減。
這般不怨,不關作家不作家。

Chu Sai Fai:Mr. Ng, you may not understand what really happened between us these decades.. Actually , I "gave up" him but I have my pity on him... He was not so bad as he was generous to me most of the time. He offered 75% of his salary to me before he retired.... Thus I never quarrelled with him for the minor things.... I was all in a mess as i was so tired and allergy sometimes in rainy days after a wrong injection in clinic many years ago. I brought lots for protection that kept me away from dirt and rain in rainy season.... He is still proud of me if you paid attention to what he talked to the journalists or in the tv programs few years ago. You may never know these.... Anyway, thanks for your nice article and response to simply my careless and meaningless "comment" about myself.
