八年前,我突然接到中联部寄来的一封信,打开一看是李一氓同志逝世的讣告,既未讲追悼会的日期,也没有让我去北京送别的意思,实际上就是一张通告,但我继续往后看,在另一张纸上印着他感人肺腑的遗言:“我的后事从简.只称一个老共产党人,不要任何其它称谓.不开告别会和追悼会.火化后我的骨灰撒在淮阴平原的大地上.”我最崇敬的一位老共产党人、师长、导师,就这样永远地、平平静静地离开了人间!李一氓同志的一生,是光辉的、战斗的一生.他是我们党内已为数不多的大革命前入党的资深革命家.北伐战争的,他与周恩来、郭沫若同在北伐军政治部共事;大革命失败后参加了南昌起义;瑞金时代,任国家保卫局执行部长;长征路上,任特种营教导员;抗日战争爆发,临危受命新四军秘书长,协助叶挺同志组建新四军;解放战争中转任苏皖边区政府主席;新中国成立后,他一直从事外事工作,先后担任国务院外事办公室副主任、中联部副部长,是我国最早派驻国外的“红色大使”.陈毅同志曾赞誉他是“党内少有的大知识分子”.

I did not say the date of the memorial service or the meaning of letting me go to Beijing to give up my farewell. Zhang circular, but I continued to look back and printed his touching last words on another piece of paper: “I am a simple follower, only an old communist, without any other title. After cremation, my ashes were scattered on the land of Huaiyin Plain. ”An old communist, teacher, and mentor whom I admire most left the world peacefully and everlastingly!
