Taste of Forbidden Fruit 张小娴 464Words 2018-03-18
After staying in Shanghai for a few days, everyone here loves to speak Shanghainese. Except for the word "Nong", I couldn't understand a single word.When people talked happily, I had no choice but to stand beside me in a daze.Other people's country dialect is always a strange voice, and it would be very uncomfortable if the people closest to me also uttered this voice. Q is a Cantonese born in Hong Kong. A few years ago, she made a boyfriend who was born in Hong Kong and was originally from Shanghai. Many young Cantonese can’t speak the country dialect, but the younger generation of Shanghainese seem to be able to speak Shanghainese.At that time, she lived with her boyfriend.He usually speaks Cantonese to her, however, every time he talks to his mother on the phone or eats with his mother, the two mother and son keep speaking Shanghainese. Q sat next to him and couldn't understand a word.

She felt that his mother did not like her.If she liked her son's girlfriend, she would probably be willing to speak Cantonese in front of her, right?This is a courtesy, and it's not like she can't speak Cantonese. Every time, when he spoke Shanghainese to his mother on the phone, she always felt a sense of isolation and loneliness.At first, she would ask him: "What does the Shanghainese you just said mean in Cantonese?" Later, she didn't even bother to ask.On the days when the feelings were the strongest, she hated herself for being from Cantonese. Why wasn't she from Shanghai?When the relationship faded, she became more and more unable to bear the voice that she couldn't understand.She swore she would never fall in love with a Shanghainese man who spoke Shanghainese.
