  2011年4月15日,以两岸共同市场基金会最高顾问身份出席2011年博鳌亚洲论坛年会的钱复与中国国家主席胡锦涛会面合影。这也是钱复第三次率领“台湾工商企业家代表团”一行出席博鳌亚洲论坛。
  
  胡适侄外孙程法德先生曾经涓涓絮絮地对笔者回忆少年时代与现任台湾国泰世华银行董事、国泰慈善基金会董事长、台湾太平洋文化基金会董事长,昔日声名显赫、经历了人生的云卷云舒的钱复耳鬓厮磨的往事。唐诗有云:“远书珍重何由答,旧事凄凉不可明。去日儿童皆长大,昔年亲友半凋零。”程先生背诵这首《表兄话旧》的颔联与颈联后轻叹一声:“确是人生苦短,外公胡适1962年2月24日仙逝;外婆冬秀1975年跟着去了;钱思亮伯伯在台湾“中研院”院长任上,也于1983年归山了!”
  程先生说这番话的当时,是上世纪80年代末,台湾开禁老兵往大陆探亲不久,两岸隔绝已近40年,自然特别思念昔日亲友。
  程法德告诉笔者,钱复先生是台湾最高学府与学术中心——台湾大学原校长钱思亮的三公子。他们三昆仲分别为钱纯、钱熙、钱复。他们少年时代都穿一式的长袍马褂,戴红珊瑚顶的瓜皮小帽,眉清目秀,皮肤白晰,举止彬彬有礼。钱家是浙江省杭州市人,五代吴越王钱的后裔,长相有一个共同特征:前额微向前突冲,他们仨亦是。抗日战争爆发,原来在北京大学任化学系教授的钱思亮举家南迁,到了上海,经营信谊化学厂兼任药剂师。他家老太爷是沪上知名人士钱鸿业先生,曾任上海第一特区地方法院特别刑事庭庭长。上海沦陷后,因为坚持民族气节,坚决不与汪伪政府同流合污,1940年7月29日中午,在下班回家午餐的路上,遭日伪“76号”特务暗杀。钱家在租界举行大出殡,以示抗议。
  “胡适大名垂宇宙,小脚夫人亦随之”。这曾是当时十大轶闻之一。程法德笑着说,其实“小脚夫人”江冬秀也有两个轶闻:写白字,战方城。她搓麻将手气特别好,赢钱竟成了家庭的一宗收入。到了上海“孤岛”定居下来,她故态复萌,又没日没夜地搓麻将,吆五喝六地战方城了,而且在麻将桌畔认了两个干女儿——一位是上海五官科名医李冈博士的太太,另一位就是钱思亮教授的太太。李太太性格内向,冬秀外婆喜欢她的鹅蛋脸儿、丰腴身材,呼她“美人儿”。钱太太是广东人,性格活泼,热情痛快,“干娘,干娘”地呼得江冬秀甜甜蜜蜜的。这份“干亲”关系一直保持到1958年胡适在台湾定居之后。1962年,胡适猝逝于台北南港“中研院”第五届院士欢迎酒会会场上,极其忙乱中,钱太太奔往台北市区,向干娘江冬秀报丧。
  程法德继续回忆说,有一天,冬秀外婆在我家楼上,与我母亲及她的两位干女儿搓麻将,钱复小弟跟在他妈身边,吃东西或是看小人书。我放学回家上了楼,跟我妈和外婆冬秀打了个招呼,正欲下楼,被妈叫住了:“老二,怎么不叫钱阿姨、李阿姨?”我红了红脸,忙不迭一个个叫过来。快人快语的钱阿姨接上去说:“啊呀,老二长得像春笋透尖,脸孔白里透红!你们看他像谁?像不像艺专那位刘海粟?”一时间牌桌上的八只眼睛都集中到我身上。我知道刘海粟名字后面还有“歇后语”,上海滩上几乎人人皆知:画裸体模特儿。顿时,我窘得似乎精赤条条地站在她们面前,只见钱复蹿了过来,他脸几乎贴着我脸,伸了个长舌,紧拉我胳膊,溜出去了。自此之后,我就和钱家三昆仲做起好朋友来了,
  钱复昵称小宝,比我小6岁,性格似他妈,活泼,嘴勤,脑子动得快,和我特别好。
  “回忆童年少年真是无限神往。”程法德说,“我和小宝相处那些日子,十分有趣。那时,我读大同中学,小宝可能上小学不久。暑假到了,我随外婆冬秀到福熙路(今延安西路)模范村钱寓去度假。这是一栋中西合璧的三层楼房,十分宽敞。我和小宝他们一起睡在钱伯父的书房里,红漆地板上铺着几张草席,便可以为所欲为地翻跟斗、打滚、闹着玩了。小宝的记性悟性极好,有一次我们一起去看了美国电影《月宫宝盒》,回家后,他拿了把月琴,坐在枕头上,模仿电影中的老人,捋了一下胡须像模像样地边弹边用英语演唱。
  “白天,当我们复习功课倦了的时候,是小宝首先发起,奔上屋顶阳台踢小皮球,小宝手脚并用,在那块小天地里最活泼,有时竟把小皮球踢进另外人家的天窗。我们除玩之外,也关心时事。”程法德说,“那时,正是中国四万万同胞同仇敌忾抗击日本帝国主义侵略,挽救中华民族危亡的岁月。钱家对日寇更有深深的家仇。我与小宝常翻看他家老太爷钱鸿业先生吊丧、出殡时的纪念册和照片集,因此很关心上海乃至全国抗战情况。”
  抗战胜利后,钱思亮携全家返北平,任北京大学化学系主任。胡适博士于1946年返国,任北京大学校长;江冬秀夫人北返,住东厂胡同1号主持新家。程法德也到北平求学,就读辅仁大学。这时他在故都与小宝见面了,后者正在读北师大附中。程法德说:“我们似乎陡然长大了,无比亲密间不自觉带着些礼貌性的拘谨。”
  1949年1月,钱思亮应时任台大校长傅斯年的邀请,携全家五口赴台,任化学系教授兼教务长,并曾一度代理理学院院长一职。这个家族也从大陆迁徙到了台湾。
  20世纪50年代的台湾青年中流行着这样一句顺口溜:“来来来,来台大。去去去,去美国”,可见期待进入台大深造俨然成了当时的一股社会风气。应该说,钱思亮晚年最重要的经历,就是担任台大校长。在主流的叙事中,他被视为台大精神的保护神,他以传统中国读书人的包容敦厚,抵挡校内外政治风雨,带领台大师生,走过最大限度的校园自由,长达19年。”
  钱思亮掌校,秉持“无为而治”的方针。后人评价说:“回顾他的一生似乎并无特别之处,但是相较他离开后,不几年间,台大所发生的风风雨雨,不禁令人发觉,他最大的特别,可能就在于他的毫不特别。”在近20年台大校长期间,除了扩充学系、研究所和博士班的规模,他极少对台大既有的东西作任何重大改变。
  傅斯年对台大的影响无人能及,他将北大的“自由、反省、批判”风气带进了台大校园。他之所以能把台大办得如此成功,取决于他的干才和勇气,他完全继承了北大的传统。而钱思亮以他的无为和包容,护持了这份源自北大的气质和尊贵的传统。
  
  Reminiscences of      Qian Fu
  By Zhou Jun
  
  Just the other day, I read a news story about Qian Fu attending the Bo’ao Forum for Asia in April 2011 in the capacity of the highest-ranking advisor of the Cross-Straits Common Market Foundation. This reminds me of talking with Cheng Fade in the late 1990s. Cheng Fade (1929-2004) was a grandnephew of Hu Shi (1891-1962), a great scholar who pioneered the New Culture Movement and the vernacular revolution in the early 20th century. Cheng Fade passed away in 2004. During the talk, he reminisced what he knew about Hu Shi. He also told me about his childhood friendship with Qian Fu (born in 1935).
  The following is what I remember about Qian Fu and his father Qian Siliang from the conversation I had with Cheng Fade in the late 1980s.
  Qian Fu was born in Shanghai. His father was Qian Siliang (1907-1983), who passed away while serving as president of Academia Sinica, Taiwan.
  Qian Siliang was from the Hangzhou-based Qian clan, descendents of Qian Liu, the king of Wuyue Kingdom (907-978) during the Five Dynasties period. Cheng remembered seeing the three sons of Qian Siliang for the first time. They wore the traditional long gown and the small skullcap. They were already gentlemen even when they were so young. The men in the Qian clan all had slightly protruded forehead, a facial feature that could be traced back to their common ancestor Qian Liu. The three brothers had the signature forehead. When World War Two broke out, Qian Siliang, dean of Chemistry Department of Beijing University, came to Shanghai where he ran a chemical business. Qian Siliang’s father was Qian Hongye, who served as the justice of a special court of criminal in Shanghai. As he refused to work for Japanese, he was assassinated on July 29, 1940 on his way back to home for lunch by special agents of the puppet Chinese government working with Japanese invasion army.
  Cheng Fade remembered the day the friendship between Qian Fu and him started. It was a day Cheng’s mother was playing Mahjong with his maternal grandmother Jiang Dongxiu (the wife of Hu Shi), Qian Fu’s mother, and Mrs. Li, the wife of a prominent specialist of ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology. Qian Fu had come with his mother. He was six years younger than Cheng. Cheng came home after school and found the four women playing Mahjong. They teased him for his look. Cheng was extremely embarrassed. Qian Fu came over. The two kids ran out. Their friendship started when they were running together.
  In the summer vacation that year, Cheng went with his maternal grandmother Jiang Dongxiu to stay at Qian Siliang’s House for the summer vacation. It was a three-storied house. The boys slept on the floor of the study. They did somersaults on the mats. They had an extremely good time together. They now and then played a ball on the rooftop veranda when they took a break from homework.
  After the war, the Qians moved back to Beijing and Qian Siliang resumed his deanship at the Chemistry Department. Dr. Hu Shi came back to Beijing and became the president of Beijing University. His wife Jiang Dongxiu went back to Beijing to join him. Cheng Fade studied at Fu Jen University in Beijing, where he met Qian Fu again. Qian Fu was a middle school student at that time. The friendship between them somehow had a touch of restraint.
  Qian Siliang went to Taiwan in January 1949 at the invitation of Fu Sinian, president of Taiwan University. Qian Siliang worked as dean of Chemistry Department and director of general academic affairs. He later became president of Taiwan University. His 19-year presidency at Taiwan University was uneventful thanks to his principle of governing by non-interference. He ruled against political impact and ensured academic freedom on the campus. He did little changes to the existing system established by Fu Sinian, who upheld freedom, self-examination, and criticism as the mission guideline for the university.
  It was not until Qian was gone and the university got embroiled in some unwanted events that people missed Qian’s wisdom in keeping the university focused on free studies and away from trouble. Some people commented that what was special about him was the man achieved so much whereas nothing about him was special.
