“黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛，我却用它寻找光明。”

这两行诗广为人知，几乎成为一代人的集体记忆。写下它的，是中国当代著名诗人顾城。

1956年，顾城生于北京，少年时代即开始写诗，后成为朦胧诗派的代表人物，被誉为“童话诗人”。

1987年，他与妻子谢烨赴海外游历讲学，并于1987年底至1988年期间抵达新西兰，最终在奥克兰附近的激流岛定居生活，直至1993年他与妻子在一起家庭纠纷事故中双双离世。

如今，顾城的这套海外旧居已在当地挂牌出售。

10月27日，红星新闻记者联系了负责代理此房产的公司Ray White，获得了顾城家属对出售房产原因的回复。另外，顾城家属还希望再次澄清一些有关顾城夫妇离世的传闻。

1115平方米旧居出售，家属回应：意义非凡，但实属无奈

在房产公司发布的售卖页面上，这座面积达1115平方米的房产被这样描述：“它的意义不在于它现在的样子，而在于它未来可能的样子。”

广告指出，现有住宅已空置数十年，现在的状况十分糟糕：“对具备专业知识和探索热情的人来说，重建现有建筑或许是另一条值得探索的道路。”

据悉，房产以竞价方式出售，截止日期为当地时间2026年11月5日下午4时，看房需提前预约。

顾城家属通过房产公司发表声明称：

“自始至终，这处房产对我们家族都具有神圣的意义。三十多年来，我们无法想象它落入他人之手，因此一直未考虑要将其出售，我们尽己所能进行维护。”

“然而，它除了遭受了自然损耗之外，也遭到了人为的破坏。许多物品被窃，甚至连顾城为当时及来年冬天准备的劈柴也未能幸免。门窗和墙壁屡次遭到损坏。每次旧屋顶锈蚀穿孔时，我们便将其更换，以保护房屋免受雨水侵蚀。”

顾城家人在声明中也表示，顾城此前亲自参与了房屋内外的多处建造，融入了他独特的构思。

多年来，大多数访客对这处房产都怀有敬意，他们会留下鲜花、水果、便条或卡片等。多数人来时悄无声息，离开时亦不留痕迹，这份心意令人感动。

对于突然出售顾城旧居的原因，其家人表示：

“我们之所以决定出售，是因为已无力继续承担维护工作。我们出售的仅是一处房产，而非顾城或谢烨的名号。若有人因他们的缘故想要购入此房并计划将其改建为博物馆或纪念场所，那将是另一回事，届时也需另行商定条件。”

“正因如此，我们在房产挂牌信息中未提及他们（顾城和谢烨）的名字，并特意避免将其发布在中文的房产平台上。我们本希望此次出售不会引发旧日的流言蜚语，也不愿给家人再添困扰。然而，近期网络上出现大量转载、翻译报道的文章，让我们的这份苦心付诸东流。”

顾城的家人在声明中表示。

家属希望澄清顾城夫妇离世33年真相

顾城家属还希望再次澄清多年来有关顾城与谢烨离世事件报道中被反复提及的几点误传。

顾城家属表示，首先需要说明的是，两人的离世均非发生于此处房产内。当地警方的记录也未将二人的死亡地点登记在这栋房子所在的位置。

顾城家人在声明中还强调，所谓的杀人“凶器”从未得到证实。1993年10月事件发生后，警方对在附近发现的一把斧头进行了法医鉴定，但未在上面发现任何相关证据。

1994年3月（即事件发生五个月后），验尸官指出谢烨的死因是：“在家庭争执中，由他人造成头部损伤所致”，从未提及“凶器是斧头”。

关于顾城及谢烨两人的离世情况，其家属在声明中表示，顾城当场身亡，谢烨则于当日晚些时候在医院离世。另外，没有任何法庭或死因调查报告认定顾城有杀害谢烨的意图。

声明中写道：

“验尸官将此事定性为‘家庭纠纷’；因此，坊间常说的‘顾城杀妻后自杀’这一说法并不准确。谢烨与顾城的离世，至今仍是我们家族深沉而持久的伤痛。”

顾城家人通过房产公司，请红星新闻发布声明原文。

We are aware of recent reports of the house you are enquiring about.

This has been a holy house for our family since the beginning. For more than thirty years we could not imagine it in other people's hands, so we did not sell it. Day to day, year to year, we did what we could to keep it up. Gu Cheng built many parts of the house himself, inside and outside, with his own special ideas, so it is quite like a big artwork of his. But there was damage from nature, and damage from people. Many things were stolen, even the firewood Gu Cheng had chopped for current days, and next winter. Windows, doors and walls were broken again and again. When the old roof rusted through, we replaced it to save the house from the rain.

Most visitors have treated the house with respect. They leave flowers, fruit, notes and cards, etc. Most people come quietly and leave quietly, and this has moved us.

We are selling now because we are no longer able to keep up the maintenance. We are selling a house. We are not selling Gu Cheng's or Xie Ye's names. If someone wants the house because of them, for a museum or a memorial, that is a different conversation, and it would be on different terms.

That is why the listing makes no mention of them, and why it was deliberately kept off Chinese property sites. We hoped the sale would not revive old gossip or cause the family further distress. Recent reports, and the many articles that have since repeated and translated them, have undone that care.

Neither death happened at this property. We feel we must once again correct several other points that have been repeated in the media for many years.

No weapon was ever confirmed. After the events of October 1993, police forensically tested an axe found nearby and found no evidence on it. The coroner's finding, made five months later in March 1994 and recorded on Xie Ye's death certificate, gives the cause of death as "From head injury inflicted by a person during a domestic altercation". It names neither an axe nor Gu Cheng, although by then both had already been reported around the world.

Gu Cheng died at the scene. Xie Ye died in hospital later that day.

No court or inquest ever found that Gu Cheng intended to kill Xie Ye. The coroner described what happened as a domestic altercation, and the common description of Gu Cheng having "killed his wife and then himself" is not accurate. The loss of both Xie Ye and Gu Cheng remains a deep and lasting grief for our family.

We ask that the house not be identified by its address or photographed, and that the family's privacy be respected. We will not be giving interviews. We agree that this statement may be published. If you publish it, please include the original English words. Questions about the sale should go to Ray White.

其家属还在声明中表示：“我们恳请外界不要公开这处房产的具体地址，也不要对其进行拍摄，尊重我们家族的隐私。我们不会接受任何采访。我们同意发布这份声明，并请务必同时附上英文原文。如有关于房产出售事宜的疑问，请直接联系Ray White。”
