近日翻检旧时书报,竟然发现手头积有编辑同行阎刚手书的六封信函,还有去年赠与我的一本随笔集《三十八朵荷花》。忆起接到赠书时,我适在外地,未能及时回信,不觉心中有愧,待到翻阅完6封来信,再奉读《三十八朵荷花》的起首两篇散文,不觉泪流满面矣。及至想到如信中所说阎兄曾想把《我吻女儿的前额》寄予《钟山》,又怕我嫌长之语,这就更加令我愧疚难言了。其实,早在我读大学中文系时,就知道阎刚大名了,直到64年大学毕业被分配到北京文学研究所 Recently, it turned over old newspapers and magazines, and even found six letters on hand that edits Yan Gang’s handwritten companion books and an essay collection entitled “Thirty-eight Lotus Flowers” last year. When I recalled giving a book, I was away from home and did not reply in time. I did not feel guilty until I read the six letters and read the first two essays of “Thirty-eight Lotus Flowers” Feel tears burst. When I thought that Yan Xiong wanted to send “I kiss my daughter’s forehead,” to “Zhongshan” as I believed, I was afraid of my long speech. This made me feel guilty. In fact, as early as when I was studying Chinese Department of University, I knew Yan Gang’s name, until 64 years of college graduation was assigned to Beijing Institute of Literature
