面对孙越生先生这部书的校样,不禁百感交集。一半是悲哀,一半是欣慰。80年代初,王亚南教授的《中国官僚政治研究》再版时,是他的学生孙越生写了序言,此书在1948年初版付梓前,就是由越生用毛笔过录了一遍。半个世纪之后,越生的书,其中包括他的心血之作《官僚主义的起源和元模式》,竟只能由我,一个在他生前并不曾读过他这一主要著作的外行人来写序,难道还不可悲么? In the face of Mr. Sun Yuesheng’s proofreading of this book, can not help but feel mixed. Half is sad, half happy. In the early 1980s, Professor Wang Ya-nan’s reprint of “Chinese Bureaucratic Research” was a preface by his student Sun Yuesheng. Before the book was first published in early 1948, the book was over-written by Yue with a brush. Half a century later, more books, including his masterpiece “The Origin and the Metamorphosis of Bureaucracy,” can only be written by a lay person who did not read his masterpiece before he was alive Preface, is not it sad?
