1957年夏,施蛰存被打为右派分子,遭遇到各大小报刊断断续续的批判,他的文章几乎处于被“封杀”状态。他的一些老朋友为了自保,在晦暗年代,上演了互相检举揭发的闹剧,如沈从文、张静庐等人。当各种批判袭来,施蛰存以一颗宽容的心看待批判过他的人。正是他的豁达、淡然、超脱的精神风骨保全了他的自然生命,延续了他的艺术生命。 In the summer of 1957, Shi Zhecun was beaten as a rightist and encountered intermittent criticisms of newspapers and magazines. His articles were almost “blocked off” by the state. Some of his old friends in order to protect themselves in the gloomy era, staged each other to expose farce, such as Shen Congwen, Zhang Jinglu et al. When all kinds of criticism hit, Shi Zhecun treated people who had criticized him with a tolerant heart. It is his open-minded, indifferent, spirit of detachment to preserve his natural life, extending his artistic life.
