今天在座的都是早晨八、九点钟的太阳。我呢?至多只能算是黄昏时候的残阳。因此,首先要向大家祝贺。祝贺你们拥有远大的前程。只要努力学习,学习方法和态度正确,你们一定能为中国美术事业,做出很好的贡献。我年轻的时候,没有诸位这么好的条件从事学习。再说,我当时的学美术,也只是从兴趣出发。现在虽有学习的好条件,但我却改了行,而且不免有“来日方短”的预感。在这个意义上说,我不只是羡慕而且还有点忌妒呢! Today are the sun eight or nine o’clock in the morning. Me? Can only be regarded as the sun at sunset. Therefore, we must first congratulate you. Congratulations, you have a great future. As long as you study hard, study methods and attitudes correctly, you will certainly make a very good contribution to the cause of Chinese art. When I was young, I did not study in such a good condition. Besides, my study of art at the time just proceeded from my hobby. Although good conditions for learning now, but I have changed the line, and inevitably have “Japan and Japan short” feeling. In this sense, I am not only envious but also jealous!
