拯救阿波/吴宏鹏
　　
　　阿波背着个又脏又破的袋子，拿根棍子，把垃圾桶掀翻在地，仔细的在垃圾中寻觅着，一个快餐盒被挑了出来，他惊喜地弯腰去捡，突然，背后窜出一条大黄狗，叼起盒子就跑，饭菜洒了一地，阿波被激怒了，哇哇叫着，朝它追去。
　　居然变成这熊样！我既愤怒又恐慌。
　　本来我不知道的，都怪那臭和尚，化缘就化缘吧，还变什么戏法，硬让我拿出装满清水的脸盆，嘴里念念有词，然后把手往脸盆一指，我便看到那一幕了。
　　不行！不应该变成这样的！我咆哮。
　　和尚行了个单掌竖立的礼：阿弥陀佛，回头是岸。说完，扬长而去。
　　去你的吧！现在什么年代了，还来这套！
　　我站在二楼，看着在垃圾桶旁忙碌的阿波，一个小男孩，从我这楼下向他跑过去，递给他一个包，阿波接了。
　　看到这一切，我放心了，是我花了一百元请那男孩干的。包里有一千万现金。
　　我回到房间，在一个机械平台上站稳，然后按下按钮，瞬间，我又回到了现在。
　　刚才，我通过时间隧道去了趟未来，成功地改变了将来的命运，现在我还担心什么呢？我可以继续为所欲为了。
　　就在我飘飘然的时候，那老和尚突然出现在我面前：真是执迷不悟啊！你再看看我是谁？
　　仔细地端详良久，我不禁大吃一惊，他虽然老态龙钟，可那不正是我——阿波老来的模样吗？
　　
　　Redemption
　　
　　By Wu Hongpeng
　　
　　A dirty worn sack on his back, a stick in his hand, Ah Bo turns over a dustbin and looks closely into the rubbish. A fast food box shows up. In pleasant surprise, he bends to pick it up. All on a sudden, a huge yellow dog jumps out behind him, seizes hold of the box in its mouth and runs away. The leftovers scatter all over. Irritated, Ah Bo shouts as he chases after it.
　　What a shame! I was both in anger and in panic.
　　I had previously known nothing about this. It was that damned monk begging for alms who had played a trick by urging me to take out a basin full of clean water while mumbling some words; then he pointed to the basin with his hand, so that I had seen that scene.
　　“No! Couldn’t be like this!” I roared.
　　The monk bowed with one palm erected. “Amitabha, repent and be saved.” With this he went proudly on his way.
　　“Fuck you! In modern times, who believes this?”
　　Standing on the second floor, I watch Ah Bo busily searching the dustbin; downstairs, a little boy runs toward him and hands him a bag. Ah Bo takes it.
　　Seeing this, I set my heart at ease. I pay the boy 100yuan. That bag contains 10,000,000yuan in cash.
　　Back to my room, I step steadily on a mechanical platform and push a button. In a flash I return to modern times.
　　I had just been to future times via the time tunnel and managed to change my fortune in future. “What shall I worry about now? I can keep on doing whatever I desire.”
　　“How stupid you are! Look again. Who am I?” I was floating in the air when the old monk appeared in front of me.
　　With a close long look, I was stunned to find him, though decrepit, to be old Ah Bo. But who was I?
