2003年初夏获悉著名现代诗人、鲁迅研究专家蒋锡金教授病逝的噩耗,三年过去了,却仿佛还是昨天的事。虽然当时对此早已有预料,但当不幸真的降临时,我还是感到深深的痛惜和难言的悲哀。这种痛惜和悲哀之情,至今依然。 In the early summer of 2003, it was learned that the bad news about the death of a famous modern poet and professor Lu Xun, Professor Jiang Xijin, passed away three years later, but it seems that it was still a matter of yesterday. Although it was already expected at that time, I still deeply felt sadness and unspeakable sadness when it really came to an unfortunate death. This deplorable and sad feeling, still so far.
