《一生的燕园》一书作者夏自强是我的堂舅。直到阅读这本书稿时,我才发现自己对他其实了解很少。说起来,自强舅舅是我们家在北京唯一的亲戚。“文革”前,上小学的我,每年总有一两次跟着父母,到西郊来看望姥姥和舅舅。那时交通不便,中关村对于居住在东城区的我们,已是非常遥远的地方。我们到这里只是走亲戚,北大虽然近在咫尺,也明知是舅舅与舅母工作的地方,却与我毫无关系,故从未动过参观的念头。 Xia Ziqiang, author of The Life of Yan Yuan, is my hall uncle. Until I read this manuscript, I realized that I did not really know anything about him. Speaking, self-improvement uncle is our family’s only relative in Beijing. “Cultural Revolution ” ago, primary school, I always have one or two times a year with their parents, went to the western suburbs to visit grandma and uncle. At that time, traffic inconvenience, Zhongguancun for us living in Dongcheng District, is already very far away. We are here only to go relatives, although Pekingese in close proximity, but also know that uncle and aunt work place, but has nothing to do with me, it never touched the idea of ​​visit.
