著名英籍女作家韩素音女士原名周光湖,她的父亲是中国人,名叫周炜,是一位爱国的工程师。早在1908年,他抱着“科学救国”的思想,远赴比利时求学,学习铁路和采矿工程,毕业后回国致力于我国的铁路事业。解放后,他积极参加新中国的建设工程设计,是第一个为在北京明陵附近修筑大水库起草计划的。他在比利时留学期间,与一个名叫玛格丽特的比利时姑娘相爱而结婚,并于1913年1月与玛格丽特一起回到了老家四川成都。韩素音女士1917年生于中国河南,后在北京上学。她亲身经历了旧中国的苦难。1949年韩素音女士随母亲回到了欧洲,但是她始终认为中国是她的“根”。她曾在自己的自传中写道:“对我来说,中国自然就是我的父亲和母亲,还有我本人对中国的了解。”“要把我的父亲和母亲同历史分割开来,同他们在中国的历史分割开来是不可能的。”她经常要到中国来探望父亲。1958年她的父亲逝世,但她仍然每年要来中国一两次,并且每次来都要去四川老家看看。由于旧中国的苦难在她心中留有深刻的印象,她就更加热爱新中国,分外理解中国革命的伟大意义。她经常以自己至少是半个中国人而感到自豪。这就使她充满激情地向全世界宣传新中国,要把中国的革命情况,以及为这一革命而奋斗的英雄的中国人民,告诉全世界。多年来,她以巨大的热情,紧张的创作,写中国的革命,写新中国的巨变。目前我国出版她的创作有《花开花落》、《待到早晨到来时》、《黛西公主》等。韩素音女士还从事增进各国人民友好的活动,是一位活跃的社会活动家。她经常来往于世界各国,见多识广,尤其对西方社会有透彻的了解。在我国庆祝建国三十五周年时,她应邀前来参加庆典。本刊记者趁此机会,特采访了她,请她向本刊读者介绍西方青年恋爱、婚姻及生活情况。现将她的谈话纪要刊登于下:
The famous British woman writer Han Suyin formerly known as Lake Zhou, her father is Chinese, named Zhou Wei, is a patriotic engineer. As early as 1908, he held the idea of “saving the nation by science” and went to study in Belgium to study railways and mining engineering. After returning to China, he devoted himself to the railway cause of our country. After the liberation, he actively participated in the construction design of new China and was the first one drafting a plan to build a large reservoir near Mingling in Beijing. He was married to a Belgian girl named Margaret while studying in Belgium and returned to his hometown of Chengdu, Sichuan, in January 1913 with Margaret. Born in Henan, China in 1917, Ms. Han Suyin attended school in Beijing. She experienced the suffering of old China firsthand. In 1949, Ms. Han Suyin returned to Europe with her mother, but she always regarded China as her “root”. She wrote in her autobiography: “To me, China is my father and mother, and I know China myself.” “I want to separate my father and my mother from history Their division of history in China is impossible. ”She often visits China to visit her father. Her father died in 1958, but she still has to come to China once or twice a year, and every visit comes to her home in Sichuan. Since the suffering of old China was deeply impressed in her heart, she was even more in love with New China and her understanding of the great significance of the Chinese revolution. She often takes pride in being at least half Chinese. This made her passionately promote the new China to the world and told the world her country’s revolutionary situation and the heroic Chinese people who are struggling for this revolution. Over the years, with great passion and intense writing, she wrote about the revolution in China and wrote about the tremendous changes in new China. At present, her publications in China include Blooming Flowers, When It Arrives in the Morning, Princess Daisy and so on. Ms. Han Suyin is also an active social activist who is also engaged in promoting the friendship of all peoples. She often travels to all countries in the world and is well informed and has a thorough understanding of western society in particular. When my country celebrated the 35th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, she was invited to attend the celebration. This reporter took this opportunity to interview her specially, asking her to introduce her readers to the young people’s love, marriage and living conditions in the West.
