1937年8月,父亲陈洪应上海音专校长萧友梅先生之聘,只身从广州到上海任职。翌年,他带领母亲、我和妹妹全家到了上海。起初我们居住于现永嘉路一座西班牙式小洋房里,占用了楼上大约二十平方米的一个房间,萧友梅先生住在楼下,音专的图书馆也在楼下。房内还有其他房客。 In August 1937, his father, Chen Hong, was appointed by Xiao Youmei, the president of Shanghai Audio Technical College, and served solely from Guangzhou to Shanghai. The following year, he led his mother, my sister and I went to Shanghai. At first we lived in a small Spanish-style house in Yongjia Road, occupying a room about 20 square meters upstairs. Mr. Xiao Youmei lived downstairs, and the audio-visual library was also downstairs. There are other tenants in the room.
