李泽厚先生旅居美国已经整整二十年了。二十年里,他每年都回国居住三四个月。朋友和学生大多知道他这个规律,他回国后,大家都喜欢找他聊天。他不喜欢开会,不喜欢演讲,但乐意与朋友和学生聊天,不过他又不喜欢纯粹的闲聊,他希望通过聊天了解中国社会的发展现状和知识界的动态。毕竟,他离开中国的时候,邓小平尚未发表南方谈话,他未亲历此后中国的巨变。 Mr. Li Zehou has lived in the United States for exactly 20 years. In two decades, he returned home each year for three or four months. Most of his friends and students know this rule. After returning to China, everyone likes to talk to him. He does not like meetings, does not like lectures, but is happy to chat with friends and students, but he does not like pure chatting. He hopes to learn more about the development of Chinese society and the dynamics of the intellectual community through chatting. After all, when he left China, Deng Xiaoping had not yet spoken in the South and he did not witness the tremendous changes that followed in China.
