一个人需不需要过另外一种生活？

两年前，她到北京工作之时，就在想着要离开北京。不过这段时间这种想法越来越强烈。这源于最近看的一部关于中国生活的纪录片。她看片子中山水奇色，重新勾起她离开的欲望，要不同的生活。

在这两年，想着大多数人每天上班都需要一两个小时，拥挤在交通工具中，便觉无趣。她需要换种生活。有时候羡慕背包客，甩下工作，无所牵挂，随意而发，这只是想想都令人神往。但是要决定如此做，她还拿不定主意。

她是南方人，在天津读英语。毕业后去了宁波，只因那里有亲戚，还因为做和专业有关外贸工作。宁波是一个安静、具有生活气息的小城市，她生活了近一年。因为男朋友在北京，于是她辞职北上，找到一份和翻译有关的工作，体验着北方的生活。

在她的想象中，应该在城南、城北各有房子。她和爱人各居一边，平时各有自我生活，有空了再聚会。她固执的认为，爱情是两个人的事情，结婚却是两个家族的事情，为此，她心生恐惧，暂时不想结婚。她的父亲也希望她有着更多经历。

也有朋友说她的想法很怪异。她拒绝为自己贴上标签，如归属80后、某星座等。她认为自己思想成熟，比实际年龄考虑的多。

她在大学室友家里拍照。说和人合租，对方不接受到家里拍照。大学同学家里处处有结婚纪念照片。朋友也在劝阻说，还是留在北京吧。

Does one needs another kind of life?

When she came to work in Beijing 2 years ago she had already imagined leaving here. The thought is getting increasingly intense these days. For she watched a documentary about one’s living in China. The amazing scenery aroused her wish to leave, and to lead another life.

She felt bored spending her two years commuting for more than an hour for work in jammed traffic. She needs to change. Sometime she wants to be a backpacker, leaving her work and everything behind whenever she feels like it. Just think about it. But she couldn’t make up her mind.

She grew up in the southern part of China and majored in English in a school located in Tianjin. She went to Ningbo after graduation, her relatives and a foreign-trade job were there. In that quiet and enjoyable city she lived for nearly a year. But as her boyfriend was in Beijing she quit her job to find another there. Now she’s in north and does some translation for a living.

In her head, she and her boyfriend should live their own lives in different places and meet when they get their work done. She stubbornly holds the idea that love is a business for two while marriage matters to both families. Fear grows and leads to a late marriage. Her father agrees, encouraging her to experience more.

Some of her friends said she has a strange mind. She refuses to label herself as post-80s, or by constellation. She claims herself as a mature person who thinks a lot more than her peers.

She took her photo in the house of her college friend. She shared an apartment with others who didn’t welcome photo-taking. The wedding photos are everywhere in her friend’s house. Her friends are also trying to talk her into her stay.
