我认识李劼人同志,是在北京,那时是他出席全国人民代表大会第一届第一次会议,席位是在四川组。我也作为四川组的代表,因此认识的。那时我已读过他的小说《死水微澜》、《暴风雨前》、《大波》和其它短篇小说,早就想认识他了。他是一个爽直愉快的人,讲起话来,极其动听。他讲国民党的大使陈天放在意大利招待外国客人,说招待不周,尤其是饭菜没有做好,务请各位来宾原谅。这一招待,是陈天放大使请意大利有名的餐馆做的。这一来意大利餐馆大兴问罪之师要求恢复名誉。记不起是大会开完了,还是休会期间, I know Comrade Li Pei, who is in Beijing. At that time, he attended the first session of the National People’s Congress and the seat was in Sichuan. I also know as a representative of the Sichuan group. At that time I had already read his novels, The Raging Rainstorm, The Tempest, The Great Wave and other short stories that I had long wanted to know. He is a straightforward man, spoke very loudly. He said Ambassador Chen Guofang of KMT entertains foreign guests in Italy, saying that his hospitality is not good, especially his meals are not well done. Please guests forgive me. This reception is made by Ambassador Chen Tian-fei on behalf of a famous restaurant in Italy. This is the Italian restaurant Daxing derision requires the restoration of reputation. Can not remember the meeting finished, or during the recess,
