我在上大学之前当过工人，当时是工人阶级领导一切。当时每个月厂领导都作报告，这个月的产值比上个月增加了多少。后来，邓小平说国民经济到了崩溃的边缘，我不相信这是真的。如果说当时的政府手中没有多少外汇，我可以相信。当时的一亩地才三百块钱，工厂买地盖厂房就付了这么多，当然要一亩地安排一个人当工人作为征地条件。现在中国政府手中的钱都是卖地卖出来的，如果一亩地卖十几亿和几十亿，再和当初的三百块钱比，当然政府手中有钱了。我认为邓小平当时为了达到他自己的目的，撒了一个弥天大谎。
实际上，大部分工人都是比较粗俗的，在干活时都会讲一些俗笑话。但比起今天的中国黄段子满天飞，似乎要好多了。
有一天，厂里来了一个新工人。我乍一见之下，惊为天人。这个女孩身材高挑苗条，约一米七左右，在当时的女孩中算很高的了。当然不能和现在的人来比，由于营养条件的改善，现在的女孩的身高一米七以上是非常常见的。 她的脸蛋儿非常漂亮，是现在人们喜欢的瓜子脸。眼睛大而迷人，魅力四射。称为绝代佳人并不为过。
厂里的年轻人都愿意围着她工作的地方聊天和休息。我也很喜欢她，并进行了一番了解。结果发现她已经有男朋友了，另外还得知她的母亲有癔病。可以想象，她的母亲应该和她一样漂亮，自古红颜多薄命，所受的精神压力一定大于一个普通的女人，有精神疾病是难免的了。所以我就自动退居外线，没有再进一步的接触了。
没想到她也没能最终逃脱红颜薄命的命运。
在我离开工厂很久之后，才听说了这件事…。
原来，她在工作时双手被卷进了机器，导致截肢，最终失去了双手。可以想象，一个二十几岁的如花似玉的姑娘是很难承受这种打击的。这正应了自古红颜多薄命的诅咒。
… …。
不知多年以后的她现在怎么样了… …
When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you, don't you know I feel the same? yeah
Nothin' lasts forever and we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain, ooh yeah
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An' no one's really sure who's lettin' go today, walking away
And if we take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine, all mine
So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain
Do you need some time on your own?
Do you need some time all alone?
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone?
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal the broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you?
Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone
And when your fears subside and shadows still remain, oh yeah
I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness we still can find a way
Nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
