范用先生创办《新华文摘》时,我开始在他领导下工作。他办公室在文摘编辑部斜对面,中间隔条走廊,三五步便可来去。不久又知道,先生与我的住地也相近。他在北牌坊,我在南牌坊,南北一线,相距不过百米。办公室相邻,住地相近,我与先生便有些往来,公私皆有。先生待我是好的,我能感觉出来。但是我总想调离人民出版社,也不怕先生不高兴。因为许觉民先生常从南牌坊走过,便有机会向许先生请教。许先生(洁泯)是评论大家,其时在文学研究所任所长。我与许先生曾有三遇三谈,都很简单。 When Fan Yong founded Xinhua Digest, I began to work under his leadership. His office diagonally across from the Digest editorial department, the middle of the corridor, three or five steps can come and go. Soon to know, Mr. and my place of residence are similar. He is in the North Archway, I am in the South Archway, north-south line, but apart from a hundred meters. Adjacent to the office, similar to the residence, I have some contacts with the President, both public and private. Mr. is good to me, I can feel it. However, I always want to move away from the people’s publishing house, not afraid of Mr. unhappy. Because Mr. Xu Juemin often walked from the South Arch, have the opportunity to consult Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu (Jie Yi) is a commentator, at that time as director of the Institute of literature. There are three encounters and three talks between Mr. Xu and me. They are very simple.
