杨绛先生离开我们已有一些日子。读者的叹惋和哀悼仍在继续,媒体的追询和惊爆已渐趋平允,而我也从悲痛和忙乱中缓过神来。自先生病重住院到弥留之际再到起灵往八宝山浴火重生,我见证了几乎每一个细节。这是我幼年送别祖母以来第一次全程参与,甚至可以说是受命主持的一桩后事。可它是怎样的一桩后事啊!它是我国现代文坛最后一位女先生的后事。它意味着一个时代的结束,一代大师的远去。 Mr. Yang Jiang left us some days ago. The sighs and mourning of the readers are continuing. The pursuit and screaming of the media has gradually come to an end, and I am relieving myself from grief and hecticness. Since he was ill and hospitalized to dwell on the occasion again to the Babaoshan bathing fire rebirth, I witnessed almost every detail. This is my first full participation since giving my grandfather to my baby, and I can even say that it was a funeral ordered to preside over it. But what kind of a funeral it is! It is the funeral for the last lady in the modern literary world in our country. It means the end of an era, the fate of a generation of masters.
