1942年冬,重庆。 夜幕和着浓雾早早地把这座山城裹进了一片漆黑的世界,几点稀落的灯光像几只荧火虫,在凝重的夜色里无精打彩地时隐时现。这些荧火虫似的灯光里,有一点是偏僻的山坡上的一间矮小的房子里的桐油灯。这间房子的墙是竹篱笆上糊的一层泥,房顶上盖的一半是杉树皮一半是茅草。这是一个从美国留学归来的物理博士、中央大学教授的家。 The winter of 1942, Chongqing. The darkness enveloped the mountain city early in the night and with thick fog, and the sparse lights glinted like fireflies in a drowsy night. One of these firefly lights is the tung oil lamp in a little house on a secluded hillside. The wall of this house is a layer of mud on a bamboo fence. Half of the top of the house is covered with cedar bark. This is a home from the United States to study physics Ph.D., Professor of Central University home.
