20世纪70年代初,我在一次采访中了解到,在数学基础理论方面作出世界先进成果的陈景润处在病危中,处境艰难,得不到及时有效的治疗。出于一名新华社记者的责任心和对那个年代科学家不幸遭遇的同情,我把了解到的情况写成几篇内参,这引起了毛泽东、周恩来等中央领导同志的 In the early 1970s, in an interview, I learned that Chen Jingrun, who made the world advanced achievements in the basic theory of mathematics, was in a critical condition and was in a difficult situation and could not get timely and effective treatment. Out of the sense of responsibility of a reporter of Xinhua News Agency and sympathy for the unfortunate experience of scientists in that era, I have written about the situation as several internal references, which have aroused the concern of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other central leading comrades.
