惊悉原国务院经济研究中心副总干事马宾先生于3月27日去世,享年104岁。我深感悲恸,以此文纪念马宾先生,回忆我在30多年前与马老的交往。很多人奇怪,我这样一个工科背景的人怎么会走上国情研究的学术之路?既有必然性也有偶然性。很偶然的机会,我认识了马宾先生,他成为我走上国情研究道路的引路者。 He was shocked to know that Mr. Ma Bin, former deputy director general of the State Council Economic Research Center, died on March 27 at the age of 104. I am deeply saddened to commemorate Mr. Marbin in this article and to recall the relationship I had with Ma Lao more than 30 years ago. Many people wonder how people like me with a background in engineering can embark on the academic road to studying Chinese national conditions. They are both inevitable and contingent. By chance, I met Mr. Ma Bin and he became my guide on the road to national conditions.
