现代中国出版界的代表之一,著名的出版家、编辑赵家璧(1908年生)1997年春去世,享年89岁。1998年初冬,在上海丁景唐先生家中,我偶然获赠“书比人长寿”这句名言。丁景唐先生是上海文艺出版社名誉社长,文革后,曾在赵家璧的帮助下,主持过《新文学大系》的重印工作。 Zhao Jiabi (born 1908), one of the representatives of the publishing industry in modern China, died in the spring of 1997 at the age of 89. In the early winter of 1998, at the home of Mr. Ding Jingtang in Shanghai, I happened to be given a famous saying of “Longevity of a Book Than Man”. Ding Jingtang is the honorary president of Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House. After the Cultural Revolution, with the help of Zhao Jiabi, he presided over the reprinting of the “New Literature Series”.
