在我的印象中,蔡测海是一个富有散文气质的青年,瘦高的个头,温文尔雅,谈吐不俗。也许是还不到而立之年,他见了生人总有些腼腆,口欲言而嗫嚅;即使与熟人交谈,也很少滔滔不绝地高谈阔论。他喜欢低头静听你的谈话,听到会心处,就抬起头冷不丁冒出一段妙语警句。两年前,一个偶然的机会,我与他在长沙相识,并朝夕共处了一个星期。那时,他的散文处女作《刻在记忆的石壁上》刚被评上湖南省“建国三十周年青年文学创作竞赛”一等奖。但是他没有向我提起这件事,更没有喜形于色,露出少年得志的神态。一 In my impression, Caihai sea is a prose rich temperament of the young, tall, gentle, good conversation. Perhaps less than thirty years later, when he met strangers, he always said something unspoken. His conversation with acquaintances seldom raged. He likes to bow down to listen to your conversation, heard the meeting place, it raised his head cold but emerge a period of epigrams. Two years ago, by chance, I met him in Changsha and worked together for about a week. At that time, his essay debut, “Engraved on the Stone Wall of Memory,” has just been awarded the first prize in Hunan Province for the “30th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Literature Creation Contest”. However, he did not mention it to me, nor did he have a good impression on his face and showed his youthful demeanor. one
