Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack.
I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel them?
I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life.
You start with the little things.
Things on shelves, in the drawers, the knickknacks, collectibles.
Feel the weight it all adds up.
Then you start adding larger stuff.
Clothes, tabletop appliances, lamps, linens, your TV.
The backpack should be getting pretty heavy now.
You go bigger.
Your couch, your bed, your kitchen table, stuff it all in there.
Your car, get it in there.
Your home, whether it's a studio apartment or a two-bedroom house.
I want you to stuff it all into that backpack.
Now try to walk. It's kinda hard, isn't it?
This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis:
we weigh ourselves down til we can't even move
and make no mistake; moving is living
Now, I'm gonna set that backpack on fire.
What do you wanna take out of it?
Photos? Photos are for people who can't remember.
Drink some ginkgo and let the photos burn.
In fact let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing.
It's kinda exhilarating, isn't it?
...
This is how I start everyday of my life.

“你的生活究竟有多重？想象一下你正背着一个背包，感受一下你肩上的压力，感觉到了吗？现在把你生活中所有的东 西都装进去。先从小的东西开始，架子上抽屉里 的小玩意，小摆设，收藏品，感受一下这些给你带来的压力。然后是大件的，衣服，餐具，灯，家纺和电视。背包应该已经很重了吧？还有更大的呢，沙发，床，餐 桌。所有东西都塞进去，车也塞进去，房子，不论是一居室，还是两室的公寓，统统塞到背包里。现在背着它走两步，有点困难，不是吗？这就是我们每天都在做的 事情。我们不堪重负无法前进。如果我没弄错，只有向前才是生活。现在我要烧了这个包。你想把什么拿出来？照片？有遗忘症的人才需要照片。喝点银杏酒烧了照 片吧。实际上如果把它们全烧了，想象一下明早一无所有，非常让人愉快，不是吗？我就是这样开始我的每一天。
主角的背包论，引发观众一番深思。我们愚昧的追求，就像一般人所追求的生活。 不知不觉，肩膀上的背包随着岁月而增重。背包里有太多的包袱。 于是，这沉重的背包，就跟着我们一辈子直到进入棺材。其实，当我们来到世间， 背包里空荡荡的， 当你走的时候，背包里的一切，你一样也无法带走。若如主角所说的，一把火烧了，多少凡夫能够做到？
我想，如果我有一个背包，里面要填满足够的勇气，足于放空一切，收集来自世界各地多姿多彩的故事。
