我与沈从文先生相识于1957年请他为新创刊的《民族团结》杂志(即《中国民族》前身)写稿的时候。这位著作等身却一生命运坎坷极富传奇色彩的文学巨匠,那时已改行在故宫博物院从事文物考古工作,很少执笔。有些报刊请他写稿,他不是推就是拖,有的干脆回绝。1953年他收到上海开明书 I met Mr. Shen Congwen in 1957 when he asked him to write a draft for the newly started National Unity magazine (the predecessor of “the Chinese nation”). However, the literary master of this book, whose life and fortune are so legendary and legendary, had diverted to work on cultural relics and archeology in the Palace Museum at that time, seldom did it. Some newspapers asked him to write a manuscript, he is not pushing that drag, and some simply rejected. He received the Shanghai Open Book in 1953
