澳門小城變遷的感想

澳門近年變化很大,自從賭權開放以後,民生經濟起了很大的變化,貧富懸殊嚴重加劇,樓價飛漲,一個位于黑沙環填海區的住宅單位,以前以樓花購入只不過是十多萬元。
現在竟然可以以百多萬元成交,如買家以此價錢購入實在不值得,當然賣主可賺到一筆可觀的錢,那些低收入人士卻望樓興嘆,樓宇租金也隨之提升,沒法安居樂業,有些人被迫到珠海拱北租屋或買樓居住,每天早上過來澳門上班或上學,這種現象就是經濟騰飛帶來的結果。

記得兒時隨家人從外國移居澳門,在此小城定居不覺已有四十多年,記得小時候的澳門人口少,街上車輛不多,環境非常寧靜,空氣清新,每天上學必經過雅廉訪這一區,此區很多別緻的矮小洋房,這區經過幾十年的洗禮,現在已建了很多高樓大廈,再回復不到以前那麼寧靜了。  

有一位澳門文化界人士為了避開繁囂的澳門市區生活,多年前遷居氹仔,滿以為可以重回以前小城寧靜的生活,但令他大失所望, 氹仔現起了很大變化,高樓大廈林立,每天路上你可見到車水馬龍,在我的思維裏現在只有路環一少部份的地方才可以令你重拾澳門小城當年寧靜的環境。

澳門是我家,我願意繼續在這彈丸之地上生活,縱使我不愛嘈吵的環境,獨愛寧靜的生活,但有時是無可奈何的,很喜歡一首由Shawn Phillips主唱的Lost Horizon ,歌詞所提及的就是我所想要的世外桃源

Lost Horizon        
Have you ever dreamed of a place far away from it all
Where the air you breathe is soft and clean
And children play in fields of green
And the sound of guns doesn't pound in your ears
Have you ever dreamed of a place far away from it all
Where the winter winds will never blow
And living things have room to grow
And the sound of guns doesn't pound in your ears anymore
Many miles from yesterday before you reach tomorrow
Where the time is always just today
There is a lost horizon waiting to be found
There is a lost horizon where the sound of guns doesn't pound in yours ears anymore
