中国社会科学院近代史研究所研究员刘蜀永的办公室地处北京市东城区中国美术馆附近的闹市。虽然外界喧嚣,但办公室内却显幽暗。三面墙被顶天立地的书架和堆放在书架上的书遮挡得严严实实,要不是桌面上放着一部电话机,让人不难联想到或许半个世纪前有个书生曾在这里读过圣贤书。刘蜀永在这间办公室一呆就是20年,那时连他自己也没想到20年后的今天,能作为研究香港问题的专家被请到了中央电视台,伴随着香港的顺利回归,他也与某些影视明星大腕们一样,霎时间成为知名人物。 Liu Shu Yong, a researcher at the Institute of Modern History, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, is located in the downtown area near the China Art Museum in Dongcheng District, Beijing. Although the noise of the outside world, but the office was dim. Three-sided wall sheltered bookshelves stacked on the bookshelf sheltered tightly, or not placed on the desktop a phone, it is not difficult to think of a scholar perhaps half a century ago had read sages here book. Liu Shu Yong stayed in this office for 20 years. At that time, he did not even think of himself 20 years later. As an expert on Hong Kong issues, he was invited to China Central Television. With the smooth return of Hong Kong, Movie stars are the same, all of a sudden become well-known figures.
