Life-long Regret In the 80s of 20th century,a girl made a call that all those men under 1.70m are “disabled”.Then all unmarried young women all over the country rose in rebellion. I had carefully measured my height for one thousand times but only found myself is definitely a VIP member of “life-long disabled”club.However,I was too young and vigorous and full of ambition then,so I swore to fight against the prejudice tooth and nail.So I coxed a girl with a height of 1.74m married me,which was a great feat that make we “the disabled” club members feel proud and elated. It is not until I came home with my wife that I realized how pathetic I was.This so-called great feat didn’t make me get rid of my ”life-long disabled”but brought me a “life-long regret”instead.I would never enjoyed the pleasure that putting my strong arm around my wife’s smooth neck when strolling in the street.Such pleasure not only means I have to have my feet off the ground where I was born and raised but also my sacred navel will be public to the world. Now every time we go out together,my arm would hang tightly around my wife’s shoulder which makes me look exactly like a monkey clinging to a telegraph pole and let my wife drag me here and there along the street. The miserable me (?)is always wondering painfully that if I get another chance to live,I’ll never fight against secularism because it forces you pay such a heavy price. Chinese 中文 终生遗憾 木木 八十年代，有一姑娘号召：1.70 米以下男人均为“残废”。于是全国未婚女青年纷纷揭竿而起。 我细细量过九十九次自己标高，实属“终生残废”系列。但那时年少，血旺气盛，誓与凡俗抗争到底，于是连哄带骗将一净高1.74 米女孩拐回家做起了太太，这一壮举颇为“残疾人”们扬了一段眉吐了半口气。 将太太置回家中后我才意识到我的悲哀，这一愤世之举不仅未了我“终生残废”而又平添了“终生遗憾”，我从未享受过将男人坚定有力的胳膊窝勾着太太姣美柔滑的后脖子上街遛弯的幸福。这一幸福对我来说不仅意味着双脚要离开这生我养我的土地，而且神圣的肚脐亦将昭之于众。 现在，每每出门，高扬的手臂牢牢地挂在太太肩头，其状如猴子紧紧扒着电杆，任凭太太在马路上将我拖来拖去⋯⋯ 痛苦的我常常痛苦的想，如果能重活一回，我再也不与世俗去抗争，因为与世俗抗争是要付出代价的。
