又是清明桃花开,长江水暖刀鱼肥。父亲(编者注:王季思)的忌日(4月6日)也近了。每每又想起许多已经逝去的往事。从小父亲就喜欢与孩子们谈他喜欢的古典文学,给我们这些对古典文学还一窍不通的孩子讲诗词歌赋,讲戏曲故事。尽管我们最后并没有读中文,但古典文学却往往成为与父亲闲谈的主题。 Peach blossom is open, the Yangtze River scabbard fish. The date of death (April 6) of my father (Editor’s note: Wang Jisi) is also near. Often I think of many past memories. My father loved to talk about his favorite classical literature with his children. He told the children of poetry who know nothing about classical literature about the story of drama. Although we did not read Chinese in the end, classical literature often became the subject of chats with fathers.
