初夏的一天下午,我在康平路市委大院里,登门拜访了高龄的上海市文联主席、《辞海》主编夏征农。 当我步入他家的会客厅时,夏老正健步从楼梯上走下来。1978年,他在复旦大学担任党委书记的时候,我曾拜访过他;15年过去了,他胖了一些,看上去非但不显得老,面孔反而比那年丰满,皱纹也少得多了。 In the afternoon of early summer, I visited the old couplet of Shanghai Federation of Literary and Art Circles in the compound yard of Kangping Road and Xia Zongnong, editor of “Ci Hai”. As I walked into the living room of his house, Xia Zhaosheng stepped down from the stairs. In 1978, when he was a party committee secretary at Fudan University, I visited him. After 15 years, he became fatter, not only did not appear to be old but his face was full and wrinkled much less than that year.
