第三节尺素往来
12月1日从山东返程后，顾影怜开启“双线作战”模式：一边推进东夷文化展览馆展陈大纲编制，一边负责茗川茶博物馆深化设计，同时兼顾温州鹤栖村村史馆、广州荔浦区荔枝文化博物馆前期策划。往后的日子里，她的身影穿梭于上海写字楼、硬座车厢和经济酒店之间。抽屉里积攒的火车票根，沾染着温州的雾、曲阜的雨、广州的霓虹，夹在工作笔记里，成了她忙碌奔波的见证。
2011年3月，顾影怜担纲主案策划的茗川茶博物馆布展工程顺利进入施工阶段。同年5月1日，新疆玛依塔勒县博物馆正式开馆。当顾影怜坐在上海的写字楼里，看着张瑞祥从现场传过来的照片时，仿若听见玛依塔勒的风在耳畔回荡。在那里，她曾在风沙中踏勘文化遗迹，在暴雪天亲历车辙倾覆，亦与迈克策马劈开朔风，奔向苍茫的地平线。
紧接着，5月9日，顾影怜编制的东夷文化展览馆展陈大纲通过了专家评审，为后续工作的开展奠定了坚实的基础。
7月4日，茗川茶博物馆在经过一系列紧张的筹备工作后，正式开馆，吸引了众多茶文化爱好者前来参观。这是顾影怜从头跟到尾的项目。茗川馆开馆仪式上，游客们对着“山影叠翠”的设计惊叹不已。顾影怜望着茶博物馆的屋檐，恍惚又看见和迈克踏勘茶厂那日，他身着深蓝色冲锋衣，站在一株开满洁白茶花的茶树边，眼睛望向远方，双手展开测绘图纸，山间晨雾打湿了他的鬓角……
当顾影怜正埋首于展陈大纲的字句推敲时，迈克的设计草图已随着他的脚步跨越了三个时区：洛杉矶的大丝葵、迪拜的枣椰树、苏格兰的山毛榉，这些元素轮番出现在他的设计草图上。
然而，两人偶尔交错的轨迹总带着时空错位的仓促。在上海虹桥站，10分钟的拥抱被进站广播无情地切割成碎片；在大明湖畔的“偶遇”，其实是迈克提前48小时改签航班的精心安排；而在白云机场，半小时的散步后，他们又将各自奔赴不同的下一站。
这种错位，早在2009年下半年他们相遇时就埋下伏笔。相聚总是短暂的，如同划破夜空的流星，而分离却如同漫长的黑夜，成为生活的常态。这两年来，他从10个不同的城市寄出的30张明信片，与他们之间来往的1500多封邮件，编织成一张经纬密匝的纽带。两列注定错轨的火车，却在并行的瞬间，将对方窗外的风景拓印成生命里永不褪色的底片。
以下是两人的部分通信：

My mysterious man,
How are you today?
I'm currently without accommodation in Nanjing. The hotel where I used to stay is refusing to offer the rate my boss was hoping for, so my manager said he will come to handle this when he arrives here, which should be in three hours. So I'm wandering around the street and (jokingly) imagining scolding my boss in my mind a thousand times :)
Maybe I'll have a romantic encounter while I'm wandering alone here? :)
Your little eagle
My little eagle,
I hope very much you have no romantic encounter! You should have your romantic encounter with me!.....aaah, perhaps while walking down the street, you might encounter a fat and old Chinese man. He has a round shaved head without hair...maybe only several long black hairs coming out of his ears. He is smoking heavily and very noisy. Spitting noisily onto the street.....eating noisily his found. And because it is warm he pulls his shirt up over his thick belly.
Your are talking about this kind of romantic encounter?
Haha... Let me know if your boss could get a cheaper price....how much is your hotel per night?

My mysterious man,
Today I was on the subway and heard a girl say to her boyfriend, "I don't understand why some fat women wear very tight pants. Their legs look so scary!" I looked at my legs and felt like finding a hole to hide in :) No, I'm kidding :) I will continue to be me. Without me, the world would be missing out on a lot of amusement.
Your little eagle
My little eagle,
You are sweet and we are quite a good match. I think because I am also quite ordinary, so don't worry.I am in New York....late morning here and I am just sipping my coffee.
I think in China girls are a bit extreme regarding being slim. Somebody seems to tell them they are fat....but all are soooo slim. You should come to the US and have a look around...and you will never feel fat again.

My mysterious man,
The ceiling leaked water and woke me up. I think I need to ask the landlord to take care of it today.
Thank you for your pictures. From your pictures, Jeddah looks shabby, and Dubai looks clean and splendid... but I guess I wouldn't like to live there if possible :) Because I would feel very scared to walk on streets where people only dress in white and black. When I saw the pictures of you at that "A Passion for Creation" event, where many celebrities gathered, you know what I was thinking? I was thinking, "It's not always good to be famous... because sometimes you have to attend events that you don't really want to." Maybe I'm wrong :) For me, I went to look at those pictures just because they are connected to you. I wonder what your thoughts were when you saw those buildings, cities, people... and smiled.
I guess I prefer places with more greenery. Even though I've never been to the desert, I don't think I would like it much. I like forests, I guess, and nature with more creatures, including birds and animals :)
I haven't received your postcard from Dubai yet. Maybe it has already arrived, but I don't know.
You travel so often. Are you tired of it, or do you enjoy it?
Your little eagle
My little eagle,
Leak in the ceiling is not nice. You should tell your landlord immediately. If it starts to form mold (and this will happen quickly), it might not be possible to get rid of it anymore.
I prefer Jeddah to Dubai. I like places with a sense of history. Dubai is artificial. There is no depth, just surfaces.
I like the desert, because I can see the horizon for ever. In the desert, I feel free. Green is rooted, I am not a rooted person. Travel is a way to see the world, the best education.
Yes, I am tired of always traveling, but I am excited to learn about other cultures and experience other senses. Travel make me feel alive.

My mysterious man,
I guess some poor people in Jeddah might prefer to live in Dubai if possible. Perhaps some educated individuals would be inclined towards places that exude a strong sense of history, but the local people there might think differently... maybe they just want to live in a clean, bright, convenient place. With the process of urbanization in China, some historical buildings, streets, and villages are being destroye
