青少年时代我于一九○六年八月十三日出生在江苏省宝山县(现划归上海市)罗店镇庙后街一户中农家庭。我父亲九岁时,他的父亲(即我的祖父)就去世了。族中祖辈父辈把我家祖上从耕种以及蚕桑积聚下来的一点儿钱全部分光了。我父亲年幼,看着空空两手,家庭经济状况逐渐衰落而成为贫困户了。我的外祖家,租赁小学校长李宗翰家房屋居住,因而外祖母和校长比较熟识。经她说情,我才能进入小学校免费读书。 I was born on August 13, 1906 in a family of middle peasants in Temple Street, Luo Dian Town, Baoshan County, now in Shanghai. His father, my grandfather, died when my father was nine years old. The ancestral fathers of my clans split all the money my family and my ancestors had collected from cultivation and sericulture. My father was young and looked at empty-handed and the family economy was gradually declining to become poor. My grandfather, leased primary school principal Li Zonghan home, so grandmother and headmaster more familiar. By her affection, I can enter primary school free reading.
