早在少年时代,戴爱莲已是我的崇拜偶象。1946年一天,姐姐领我去看戴爱莲的演出,她那富有浓郁生活气息的优美舞蹈,给混浊的十里洋场上海带来了一股清新之气,使人耳目一新。当时像我那样的中学生看后都入了迷,在校园里掀起一股戴爱莲热,到处可听到《青春舞曲》、《马车夫之歌》等舞蹈的伴奏歌声。 50年之后的1996年,一个偶尔的机会,使我有幸结识这位中国舞蹈泰斗。 那一天,遇到新华社原副社长庞炳庵,他向我讲述在旧货摊上看到两盒音乐歌舞唱片,唱片纸套上有戴爱莲的签 As early as adolescence, Dai Ailian is my worship idol. One day in 1946, my sister took me to see Dai Ailian’s performance. Her graceful dance with rich flavor of life brought a refreshing atmosphere to the turbid ten-day market in Shanghai. At that time, high school students like me became addicted after watching them. There was a song of love singing and dancing on campus, accompanied by dance songs such as “Youth Dance” and “Carriageman’s Song”. 50 years later in 1996, an occasional opportunity for me to have the privilege to get acquainted with this Chinese dance masters. On that day, I met Pang Bing-nam, former vice president of Xinhua News Agency, who told me that I saw two boxes of music and dance records on the old stalls.
