Giản thể: 说说习马会
在过去的几个月里，习大大真忙啊。九月在美国和奥巴马共进晚宴，十月在英国跟卡梅伦喝酒聊天，十一月飞到新加坡，跟马英九微笑握手。他们的双手一握，马上就成了各大新闻头条。原因很简单：这是自1949年中国内战结束之后，中国大陆和台湾领导人的首次会谈。
关于这次会面的历史意义和影响，中外媒体都已经进行了各种深度评论。如果你听腻了严肃的政治新闻，那网友们挖出的各种“内幕”一定会让你眼前一亮。
首先，有网友曝光了“习马会”的晚餐菜单。菜品都是简单清淡的家常菜，包括糯米饭、东坡肉和四川担担面。马英九还带来了他喜爱的台湾马祖老酒。马祖老酒很特别，饮用的时候常常会配上生姜丝、红糖等，很有“台湾味”。而且，为了体现平等原则，这次晚餐双方实行AA制。由于大陆和台湾一直拒绝承认对方政权的合法性，“习马会”之前，网友们都在猜测：习大大和马英九见面的时候，他们会怎么称呼对方？结果是：他们以“先生”称呼对方，回避了各自的元首称谓。
对于很多大陆人来说，“台湾”是一个既熟悉又陌生的词。说它“熟悉”，是因为台湾一直是电视新闻关注的焦点；说它“陌生”，是因为其实并没有多少人真正去过台湾，了解台湾。作为一个大陆人，我对台湾现状的了解，竟然大部分都是来自在美国的生活。来美国之前，我一个台湾人都不认识，对台湾的认识全部来自于新闻和课本。来了美国之后，我结交了很多台湾朋友。我跟台湾朋友说，课本曾经告诉我们，台湾同胞生活在水深火热之中，我们要去解放台湾。她大笑着说，她以前听说大陆人民穷得没有饭吃，只能吃香蕉皮。我说，很多大陆人觉得大陆好心好意想让两岸统一，可是台湾却总不领情。她无奈地说：“你们从小被教育‘台湾是中国的一部分’，而我们从小被教育‘台湾是一个独立的国家’，所以双方都很难妥协。”我们聊得越多，我越发现，复杂的政治导致了很多误解，而交流，是消除所有误解的最好办法。
跟台湾朋友在一起的时候，我们说同样的语言，讨论同样的中国历史人物，在同样的节日吃同样的传统美食，这种和谐与默契，很难被充满偏见的历史和政治改变。我想，习大大和马英九一起吃面喝酒的时候，应该也会有这份相似的和谐。

在過去的幾個月裡，習大大真忙啊。九月在美國和奧巴馬共進晚宴，十月在英國跟卡梅倫喝酒聊天，十一月飛到新加坡，跟馬英九微笑握手。他們的雙手一握，馬上就成了各大新聞頭條。原因很簡單：這是自1949年中國內戰結束之後，中國大陸和台灣領導人的首次會談。
關於這次會面的歷史意義和影響，中外媒體都已經進行了各種深度評論。如果你聽膩了嚴肅的政治新聞，那網友們挖出的各種“內幕”一定會讓你眼前一亮。

對於很多大陸人來說，“台灣”是一個既熟悉又陌生的詞。說它“熟悉”，是因為台灣一直是電視新聞關注的焦點；說它“陌生”，是因為其實並沒有多少人真正去過台灣，了解台灣。作為一個大陸人，我對台灣現狀的了解，竟然大部分都是來自在美國的生活。來美國之前，我一個台灣人都不認識，對台灣的認識全部來自於新聞和課本。來了美國之後，我結交了很多台灣朋友。我跟台灣朋友說，課本曾經告訴我們，台灣同胞生活在水深火熱之中，我們要去解放台灣。她大笑著說，她以前聽說大陸人民窮得沒有飯吃，只能吃香蕉皮。我說，很多大陸人覺得大陸好心好意想讓兩岸統一，可是台灣卻總不領情。她無奈地說：“你們從小被教育’台灣是中國的一部分’，而我們從小被教育’台灣是一個獨立的國家’，所以雙方都很難妥協。”我們聊得越多，我越發現，複雜的政治導致了很多誤解，而交流，是消除所有誤解的最好辦法。
跟台灣朋友在一起的時候，我們說同樣的語言，討論同樣的中國歷史人物，在同樣的節日吃同樣的傳統美食，這種和諧與默契，很難被充滿偏見的歷史和政治改變。我想，習大大和馬英九一起吃麵喝酒的時候，應該也會有這份相似的和諧。

English: About the Xi-Ma Meeting
Over the last few months, Uncle Xi has been really busy. A joint banquet with Obama in America in September, drinks and a chat with Cameron in the UK in October, and a flight to Singapore in November where he smiled at and shook hands with Ma Ying-jeou (President of Taiwan). Their two hands grasped together soon became a major news headline. The reason is very simple: these were the first talks between the leaders of Mainland China and Taiwan since the end of the Civil War in 1949.
Chinese and foreign media have already begun various kinds of thorough discussions in regards to the historical significance and influence of this meeting. If you are tired of listening to serious political news, then the ‘inside story’ uncovered by netizens will definitely interest you.
First, a netizen revealed the dinner menu of the ‘Xi-Ma meeting’. The dishes were all simple and light home-style food, including glutinous rice, ‘Dongpo rou’ [1] and Sichuan ‘dandan’ noodles [2]. Ma Ying-jeou also brough along his favourite ‘Matsu aged liquor’ [3]. ‘Matsu aged liquor’ is very special, as when it is drunk it is often accompanied by shredded ginger and brown sugar, having a strong ‘Taiwan flavour’. Futhermore, in order to reflect the principle of equality, both sides paid their own way. Because both the PRC and Taiwan refuse to recognise the legitimacy of the other, before the meeting of Xi and Ma, netizens made guesses about how Uncle Xi and Ma Yingjeou would address each other when they met. It turned out that they referred to each other as ‘Mister’ avoiding their respective titles as heads of state.
According to many mainland Chinese, Taiwan is both a familar and an unknown word. They say that it is ‘familiar’ because Taiwan is continually the focus of television news; they say that it is ‘unknown’ because not a lot of people have been to Taiwan or really understand Taiwan. As a person from mainland China, I understand the current situation as regards Taiwan but stangely enough I learnt most of it while I was living in the US. Before coming to the US, I had never known anyone from Taiwan and my knowledge of Taiwan came solely from the news and textbooks. After coming to the US I made many Taiwanese friends. I told a Taiwanese friend that our textbooks told us that the Taiwanese lived under terrible conditions and we must go and liberate Taiwan. She laughed and said that she had heard that mainland Chinese are so poor that they have nothing to eat and are thus forced to eat banana peel. I said that many mainland Chinese feel that the PRC wants to unite the PRC with Taiwan out of kindness and good intentions but that Taiwan doesn’t appreciate this kindness. She could only say: ‘you’re taught from a young age that Taiwan is part of China whereas we are taught that Taiwan is an independant country so it’s very difficult for both sides to reach a compromise.’ The longer we chatted, the more I discovered that these complicated politics had led to many misunderstandings and that communication is the best method of eliminating all misunderstandings.
When I’m with my Taiwanese friends we speak a common language, discuss the same figures from Chinese history and eat the same traditional foods during the same festivals. This harmony and implicit recognition can only with difficulty be disturbed by a history and politics full of prejudice. I believe that when Uncle Xi and Ma Yingjeou ate noodles and drank together there would have been a similar feeling of harmony.
[1] a stir-fried pork dish named after famous Song Dynasty writer, Su Shi (a.k.a. Su Dongpo)[2] Sichuan noodles served only with a spicy and numbing sauce, usually from a street vender.
[3] Rice wine made by Matsu Distillery on the Matsu Islands (group of Islands just off the coast of Mainland China, administered by Taiwan).
[4] 腻: a great word used in a similar way to form an expression meaning ‘I’ve eaten so much of this that I’m now sick of it’… 吃腻了 – it can be used with many verbs to convey a similar meaning.
[5] 竟然: I keep coming across this word that doesn’t really have a direct translation into English – unexpectedly, to one’s suprise.
