从北京到凉山很近，飞机三小时就到；从凉山到北京很远，山里的孩子们可能要走十二年才能看见北京的样貌。十二年，是书桌前不灭的灯，是火塘里重燃的炭，是家里挥烂的球棒，是一所所建起的公益小学，更是孩子们穿云破雾、越过山坳而望向远方的视线。
It is a short three-hour flight from Beijing to the Liangshan Mountains. Yet the journey from Liangshan to Beijing stretches far longer. It can take rural children as many as twelve years to catch a glimpse of the capital. Those twelve years are embodied in the persistent lamplight beside school desks, the embers kept alive in family hearths, well-worn baseball bats at home, and rows of charity-built primary schools. Above all, they stand for the children’s gaze piercing mountain mist and crossing rugged valleys toward a distant future in Beijing.

如今，我们走了两个月来带回凉山的碎片，带回美丽彝族绣裙上繁复生机的纹样。它绣着不知谁喃喃不绝的彝语经文，绣着支教老师放在篮球架边翻开的教案，绣着年轻人站在流水线抬头望天、为挣够学费而轻盈的剪影。这些纹样足以让这条神裙拓宽连接山里山外的路，让更多人走出凉山、走进凉山。
We spent two months in Liangshan to bring back fragments of its land and culture, among them the intricate, vivid patterns adorning traditional Yi embroidered skirts. Stitched into the fabric are murmured Yi scriptures spoken by unknown voices, open lesson plans left by volunteer teachers beside basketball hoops, and the slim silhouettes of local young workers gazing upward from assembly lines as they strive to earn their tuition. Such elaborate embroidery weaves a broader path bridging the mountains and the outside world, opening doors for more people to step out of Liangshan and for others to journey in.
凉山的故事都藏在纹样间的皱褶中了。
All of Liangshan’s stories nestle within the folds of the embroidered patterns.
彝族的两大神职，苏尼和毕摩，在裙面刺下火纹，标志着凉山彝族与火分割不开的古老起源。而这依旧燃烧的火焰演化出新的形态：教育改革的参与者们——即刻阿作、吉后日哈、贺珍珍、良善公益的创始者“大爷”以及无数教师、公益者、学生——用数十年改变了人们对教育的观念，为彝族的未来画出云纹，供孩子们乘风而上，越过云端。
Su-Ni and Bi-Mo, the two primary ritual practitioners of the Yi people, stitched flame motifs onto the skirts, marking the inseparable ancient bond between the Yi of Liangshan and fire. This everlasting flame has since taken on a new form, which advocates for educational progress, including Jike Azuo, Jihou Riha, He Zhenzhen, the elder founder of Liangshan Kindness Charity, alongside countless teachers, volunteers and students, have spent decades reshaping local attitudes toward education. They embroider cloud patterns for the Yi’s future, enabling children to ride the wind and soar above the clouds.

然而，这条绣裙的美丽不止来自单纯的“走出凉山”，而是“走进凉山”的愿景。它描绘了复杂的凉山、复杂的镜头：支教老师被家长挥拳相向的定格，和孩子们哭着挽留她时圆滚滚的泪珠；女学生吉克在流水线上挣学费的单薄身影，和她默念“这不是我的人生”时坚毅的嘴唇；老教师吉后领到迟来三十年的工资时颤抖的双手，和火塘里渐渐熄灭的彝语薪火…… 凉山不是悲情，不是苦难，也不是浪漫。它是痛苦和矛盾中破土而出的力量，是从贫瘠的土地中长成一棵树的生生不息。
Yet the skirt’s beauty lies not merely in the aspiration to leave Liangshan behind, but in the vision of stepping into Liangshan itself. Its embroidery captures the region’s layered, multifaceted reality. The frozen moment when volunteer teacher He was struck by a local guardian, paired with the round teardrops of children begging her not to depart. The frail frame of teenage student Jike earning tuition on an assembly line and her resolute lips whispering this would never define her life. The trembling hands of veteran teacher Jihou receiving wages withheld for thirty years alongside the dwindling embers of the Yi language fading beside domestic hearths. Liangshan is neither a tale of perpetual sorrow nor idealized romance. It embodies resilience sprouting from hardship and conflict, an enduring vitality like a sturdy tree rooting and thriving amid barren soil.

在事者，当置身利害之外；建言者，当设身利害之中。我们不是置身事外的看客，或是用畸变镜头异化凉山的外来人，我们是应当置身事内的建言者们。本展的宗旨，就是通过采来的一片山雾、一杈山叶、一捧山泉，让我们置身事内，看见凉山这件事本身的样貌，看见它的苦难与挣扎、希望与解脱，看见土地的皱褶里都藏着怎样的现实。风吹苇叶，撕开层云，一瞥见山谷。
Those who act should stand aloof from personal gains and losses; those who advise should immerse themselves in the stakes involved. We are neither detached onlookers nor outsiders distorting Liangshan through a skewed lens. Instead, we stand as contributors rooted deeply in its reality. Guided by this ethos, our exhibition draws upon wisps of mountain mist, twigs of wild foliage and handfuls of spring water collected locally to immerse viewers in Liangshan’s authentic truth. It lays bare the region’s hardships and struggles, hopes and breakthroughs, as well as the raw realities etched into every crease of its land. As wind rustles reed leaves and tears apart layered clouds, we catch a fleeting glance into the mountain valley.
在海淀凯文高中二楼的走廊中，我们策划了名为“置身事内”的展览。展览开放时间为6月8号至7月4号。欢迎大家前来观展！
We have curated the immersive exhibition Immersed in the Reality along the second-floor corridor of Haidian Kaiwen Academy. The show will run from June 8 to July 4, and all students are warmly invited to come and visit!
