Who I am #6: 妈的孩子 / My Mom's Child
我是我妈的孩子,我最近越来越深刻地意识到这一点。她生的小孩,她不管,她说,关我什么事?我爸说他又当爹又当妈、我还不领情。黄炜说,你爸夹在你妈和你之间也不好过。我说,关我什么事?
“关我什么事”好像是我的重要的人生哲学之一。每次遇到事情,我的第一反应是,关我事吗?我爸有外遇,关我事吗?我不小心看到了我爸私藏的外国小黄片,关我事吗?偶尔看到忘记扔的避孕套在床上,关我事吗?
某某某的女友如何如何,关我事吗?某某某开摩托车来楼下找我,关我事吗?某某某说我什么什么,关我事吗?中国就是这样、“文化”就是这样的、“历史”就是这样的、“为了维稳”就是这样的。关我事吗?
关我事吗。
ChatGPT Translation:
I’m my mother’s child. Lately, I’ve been realizing that more and more deeply. She gave birth to me, but didn’t raise me. She said, “What’s it got to do with me?”
My dad said he played the roles of both mom and dad, and I still didn’t appreciate it.
Huang Wei said, “Your dad must’ve had a hard time being stuck between you and your mom.”
I said, “What’s that got to do with me?”
“What’s it got to do with me?” seems to be one of the core philosophies of my life.
Whenever something happens, my first reaction is: does that have anything to do with me?
My dad had an affair. Does that have anything to do with me?
I accidentally saw the foreign porn he hid. Does that have anything to do with me?
Once in a while I’d find a used condom they forgot to throw away, lying on the bed.
Does that have anything to do with me?
So-and-so’s girlfriend did this or that—does that have anything to do with me?
So-and-so came on a motorcycle and waited downstairs for me—does that have anything to do with me?
So-and-so said whatever about me—does that have anything to do with me?
China’s just like this. “Culture” is just like this. “History” is just like this. “It’s for stability,” they say.
Does that have anything to do with me?
