这是我平生第一次到莫高窟,可惜不记得那具有纪念意义的日子是1943年的11月几日了。只记得已经是冬天,千佛洞前大泉河里的水已经完全冻结,变成了一条宽宽的、白白的冰河。迎接我们的晚饭准备好了,摆在桌子上:一碗大粒盐、一碗醋、一碗水煮切面,面条短短的。我愣了,问:爸爸,有菜吗?爸爸回答说这里没有蔬菜,今天来不及做好吃的了。他只能劝我们:“你们先吃吧,以后慢慢改善。明天我们就杀只羊,吃羊肉!” This is my first time in my life to the Mogao Grottoes, but unfortunately I do not remember that memorable day is November 1943, a few days. Just remember that it is already winter, the water in the front of the Thousand Buddha Caves has completely frozen, into a wide, white glaciers. Ready to meet our dinner, and put on the table: a bowl of large grain salt, a bowl of vinegar, a bowl of boiled noodles, noodles short. I froze, and asked: Dad, have food? Dad replied there is no vegetables, too late to eat delicious today. He can only persuade us: “You eat first, and then slowly improve. Tomorrow we kill sheep, eat lamb!”
