我和陈忠实老师初识于1985年。那一年,省作协召开创作座谈会,我应邀出席了那次会议。作为一个年轻的农民,面对那些大作家,我瑟瑟缩缩,坐在会场的角落里,不敢说一句话。轮到了陈忠实老师发言,他谈到了作品的立意和主题的开掘,话语虽然不多,但对于一个业余作者的我来说,是十分受用的。陈老师给我留下的深刻印象是那双犀利但不失温和的目光,是爽朗而坦然的笑声。 My acquaintance with Chen Zhongshi met in 1985. That year, the provincial Writers Association held a creative seminar, I was invited to attend the meeting. As a young farmer, in the face of those big writers, I shrunk, sitting in the corner of the venue, afraid to say a word. It was our turn to speak to Professor Chen Zhongshi. He talked about the conception and theme of the work. Though not many words, it was very useful to me as an amateur author. Chen left me a deep impression that sharp pair of sharp but still gentle eyes, is the hearty and frank laughter.
