這是篇四年前(2016年)所寫下的文章,封存在另外一個網站中。由於我自己很喜歡當初撰寫時的心境,所以就原文複製過來了。

當時老鳳山車站已經拆除(在我就讀大學的時候),改以這張圖片中的臨時車站代替。而時至今日,鐵路地下化完成了,氣派的新車站正式取代迷你又雜亂的臨時站,同樣取代了那些逝去的「舊日子」。

鳳山車站給了我很多的回憶,小時候第一次在這邊搭火車、國中也常常跟同學從這搭區間車到高雄車站逛建國路電腦街,在這段時間中,火車站給我一種出遊的愉快感受。後來因為大學位於嘉義縣民雄鄉,假日往返家中與學校的交通工具只有火車,到了火車站,就是要離開家中,這裡成了離別的場域。大學畢業後在台南當兵,火車站更是成為收假時令人痛苦的地方。

而到了現在,無奈之下成了北漂一族,交通工具從火車換成了高鐵,再從高鐵換成了自己的汽車。家裡附近的鳳山車站反而好像越來越遠,越來越少機會從這搭火車出行。在這裡的酸甜苦辣跟種種回憶,好像也隨著那天在臨時站看到的最後一班北上列車,一起悄悄離去了。

註:英文書寫,慎入。

 

It’s still there, the familiar scene and those familiar staff people in the station.

I used to come here departing to the same destination almost every two weeks.

Since I don’t need to travel so much then, I begin to miss this place and reminisce those "good old days ", more and more.

 

For me, Fengshan station is a place filled with memories.

As this is the nearest station from my house, I had the very first experience taking a train here.

At that period of time, this place represented traveling. (We didn’t have KRTC those years.)

So I loved to come here to watch the trains passing by, along with lots of travellers and joyfulness.

 

Then soon I became a college student, this place changed acutely, both station itself and the meanings it brought.

(The original Fengshan station was tore down soon after I went to college, the image shows the new one.)

Since I studied in Mingxiong, Chiayi, the only way to get there is by train.

The meaning of taking a train soon turned into leaving hometown.

 

Though I know this is a necessary (or beneficial) progress to become an independent man,

furthermore, I love both Mingxiong and Fengshan, the feeling of leaving is still not quite good for me.

This is why I didn’t like to come here those years.

However, I don’t need to go there every two weeks anymore then I feel a little bit upset about that.

Maybe it’s just a reminiscence of those days.

 

Strangely, we always start to feel upset when the time has already passed,

while we felt nothing about it at the moments.

 

It’s not a long-stay here today, but I do enjoy the time with the place.

Quite a nice thing isn’t it, I started to love the station again.

Despite I know this one is still a temporal station, it will be tore down again after the underground constructions complete.

 

Finally the last train to the north departs, along with all those memories.
