10年前,差不多也是这个时候,我随汪曾祺先生参加《人民日报·海外版》组织的笔会在桐庐。一天晚上突然接到北京长途,说沈从文先生去世了。汪老不仅是沈先生在西南联大时的学生,而且一直过从甚密,说是忘年交的朋友——所谓亦师亦友——也不过分。第二天一早,汪老来敲我的房门,眼睛红红的,手里拿着一叠稿纸,说连夜写了篇文章,让我看一看,如果没有什么问题,想赶紧传真给北京。当时正在开展清除精神污染运动,汪老当然不希望因为自己有什么措词不当,耽误了对沈先生的深切悼念。文章的题目是《星斗其文赤子其人》。 About 10 years ago, almost at this time, my pen with Mr. Wang Zengqi in the “People’s Daily Overseas Edition” organization was held in Tonglu. Suddenly one night received a long distance call in Beijing, saying Mr. Shen Congwen passed away. Mr Wang is not only a student of Mr SHEN when he is a member of the Southwest Associated University, but has always been a close friend. The next morning, Wang laughed at my door, his eyes were red, his hands holding a pile of manuscripts, saying that he wrote an article overnight. Let me have a look. If there is no problem, I would like to fax a fax to Beijing . At that time, the campaign of eliminating spiritual pollution was being carried out. Of course, Wang Lao did not wish to have any deep worries about Mr. Shen because of any inappropriate wording. The title of the article is “Starburst its man.”
