Cao Xu: Remember Mr. Shi Zhecun

Every year on September 19th, I think of my teacher Mr. Shi Zhecun, and I want to write something for him.

1. The wrong enrollment chapter made me know Mr. Shi Zhicun

The former name of Shi Qingping, Pen name Qing Ping, Anhua, Xue Yan, Li Wanhe, Chen Wei, She Zhi, Beishan, who was once annoyed by Lu Xun as "the western field is less evil", is a well -known modern writer, translator, scholar Professor of East China Normal University and the master of literature across the century have witnessed many things Lu Xun have not seen and unimaginable.

I knew Mr. Shi Zhecun out of a misleading, and the wrong enrollment chapter said that Mr. Shi recruited a recent postgraduate of literature. I sent the paper and prepared to apply for the exam. But it is wrong. Because it made me unexpectedly met Mr. Shi Xuancun, met this literary predecessor, and became his "private disciple". It was a matter of 1982. Since then, I have started to have Mr. Shi's signature book.

Mr. Shi Zi is like his person, and the pen characters on the signature book are all beautiful and upright, like the three rivers teenagers. He has known Mr. Shi for more than ten years and does not use his annual plan, but has been sent to my signature book into several stages.

2. Sit on the toilet to receive the guest Mr. Shi Zhuncun

At the beginning, he had not signed a book to send me. At that time, he and the master lived in a hut modified by a "toilet".

I went to see him, he greeted me to sit, but he sat down first. Why should he sit first? Because his seat was modified by a "pumping toilet", it was said that it was just resting a wooden board on the pumping toilet to cover the white toilet ring. If he doesn't sit first, the guest may sit down. Mr. Shi feels that it is not good to let the guests sit on the toilet. Sit down first and sit on the toilet and talk to the guests. Come out.

However, I saw it. Because the water tube behind his stool directly stipulates the water tank like the braid on his head. This tube is like the tail behind Sun Dasheng's buttocks. It can't be pinched or covered. It is useless to turn into a small temple, because the flagpole of the tail becomes erected in the backyard. It can be seen.

Except for me, when Mr. Shi was sitting on the toilet to receive guests during that period, many people knew that I was only one of the witnesses, and in this way, it was received by Mr. Shi.

3. Mr. Shi asked our school to compile "Song Shi Essence Record"

Implementing intellectual policies, it will always come in spring. Mr. Shi began to have a "multi -function room" that was together in reading, eating, and sleeping. Although the place is bigger, Mr. Shi's body is not as good as before.

Once, he lived in East China Hospital. I went to see him. He gave me the newly published "Swallow Poems". "Swallow Poetry" is a collection of poets of modern poet Sumanshu. Mr. Shi said that when he was in middle school, he liked Sumanshu's poems and copied a lot by himself. Now several types of "Sumanshu Complete Works" published are not complete. He Want to make up. He wrote to me several times and asked me to check it. It is now a collection and collected in the "Baihuazhou Library" of Jiangxi People's Publishing House.

On one occasion, I went to see him. He asked our school to edit a "Song Poetry Essence", which was also placed in the "Baihuazhou Library" of Jiangxi People's Publishing House.

He said: "Recently, a Mr. Merradonian commented on a small article of a thousand words on a newspaper. Of course, you have to write more while you are young." Essence Although I am not young now, this sentence still inspires me to move forward.

Mr. Shi was a talented talent in his childhood. In the current situation of famous writers in the "Celebrity whereabouts" column every few days in the "Literary News", Mr. Shi was the youngest.

4. Before Mr. Shi, he will always be younger than you

For a long period of time, Mr. Shi's writing strokes were placed in the middle of the writing table. The left and right sides were all piled up with book newspapers and magazines and various manuscripts. Behind him was the old bookshelf of the rattan, and the chair sat in front of the guests. Out of the desire for knowledge and respect for my predecessors, every time I go, I always look very restrained, but Mr. Shi is very relaxed.

Every time I look at him, I always ask:

"Mrs. Nong has been fell recently?"

I quickly said, "I'm fine, sir, what about you?"

He said, "Me, still look like."

That kind of casual, free tone, as if I am an old gentleman, he is a young man. Make me unable to be nervous, and the polite words are more like the wet umbrellas that have been supported by rainy days. I can only rest in the corridor without bringing into his bedroom and study.

5. Mr. Shi educating students is unforgettable

I was unforgettable for my education. Once I sent him a letter.

As a result, the letter was returned. At first glance, Mr. Shi changed his use of "red pen". From the name, to the content, to the money, they have changed their faces.

He diverted: "Under our relationship, you call me inappropriate." "Ending your money is not appropriate", etc., which made me blush for more than a long time. These primary schools should be learned. It seems that we don't need to learn, it makes us like children without parents.

From then on, remember that if you want to do big things, you must start with small things. Writing letters is also a basic skill.

Later, I told Mr. Zhao Changping and Chen Wenhua, the graduate student of Mr. Shi, and they all said, "You are pretty good."

Zhao Changping said: "When I was a student of Mr. Shi, I showed him the article; Mr. Shi didn't read it, and said, you delete the article half and take it to me." Zhao Changping's article was in our generation It was the end of the middle. Mr. Shi told him to delete half of it before showing him. Maybe Zhang Hua's criticism of Lu Ji: others write articles, they are afraid of too few literary talents; if you write articles, you are afraid of too much literary talent. Bar. Chen Wenhua said: "I often scolded when I was a student, but I was used to it later." She added: "Actually, the more he scolds you, the more he likes you."

Their words, as well as the expression at the time of talking, made me jealous and envious.

I know that Mr. Shi does not scold me, not that I am better than Zhao Changping and Chen Wenhua, but between me and Mr. Shi, there are more distances than Zhao Changping and Chen Wenhua; Retreat of my article and don't scold me. However, I am also very satisfied. Because although they have no chance to get the glory of "scolding", the "converting letter" incident shows that Mr. Shi is also "looking at each other" with me. The consciousness and life become my wealth.

Sixty or 90 years old is Mr. Shi’s most results of the age

On one occasion, at Mr. Shi's house, Mr. Shi took out the "Ancient Poetry Examination" that Mr. Cheng Qianfan, Nanjing University had just given him for a long time, and said, "The old friends have achieved a lot of results." Later, his "Tang poetry Published by Hundred words, he is very happy. Over the years of research experience and the accumulation of teaching have the opportunity to publish, and it has become an important work in the study of Tang poetry and the interpretation of Tang poetry. Essence

Thinking of Mr. Shi's house, Mr. Shi asked me once:

"Li Bai's" Xuancheng Xie Yilou's Book of Book of Uncle Clouds "‘ Middle Xie Xie and Qingfa ’. Who does‘ Xiaoxie ’refer to?”

I said: "Xie Yan".

He said, "Xiao Xie is Xie Yan, but who is used in this poem to praise?" I couldn't answer. It turned out that Mr. Shi was constantly thinking about his problems in "Tang Shi".

Mr. Shi said several times, when he was 90 years old, he was blocked and stopped writing. But in fact, I can't do it at all. At the age of ninety, he had the most achieved results and sent me the most signature books. His "Ciology" and editor -in -chief of his words and poems, and "Poetry of Tang Poems", are all iconic works in this period, signed the mark of this period.

Ninety -year -old is the age of the most achievements, which is unimaginable by ordinary people. When I write it down today, I want to be reluctant.
