In my hand, I have a small book "Color Collection" by Mr. Feng Yidai, some time ago I happened to turn it out, opened it to see, and suddenly remembered that this was given to me by Huang Zongying that year, and on the title page there was her inscription "Look at the lotus like a boat, eat the same dates like melons."
It has been almost a year since Zong Ying's death, and I met her in 2002 through biographer Luo Yinsheng. Later, Teacher Zong Ying fell at home, and his physical condition was good and bad, so he stayed in Huadong Hospital. It just so happened that one of her attending doctors, the old Chinese medicine doctor Zhu Dingcheng, was also a good friend of mine, so it was a coincidence. For a few years, I had frequent contact with Mr. Zong Ying, almost every month, and I sent her some newspapers and books, and she would write some essays and send them to me for publication. Until now, I can clearly remember The mailing address of Teacher Zong Ying: East 17-13, East China Hospital.
Think about those years, Teacher Zong Ying was also depressed, a person lived in the small room of the East Building of Huadong Hospital, and was not allowed to leave the house without permission. She is extremely welcome to talk about old friends and old friends to discuss the past and the present. Naturally, my juniors naturally like to listen to her talk about learning and old news. Teacher Zong Ying has a colorful and knowledgeable life, and has also been a figure who has participated in the forbidden min, entered the Qing feast, and served the chen tour. I remember once, I went to see her with Luo Yinsheng, and Teacher Zong Ying pointed to Yin Sheng's newly published "Biography of Pan Xulun" and said that she had a deep relationship with Pan Xulun and had something to say. A few days later, I received a xiongwen from Zong Ying, a 300-word one-page manuscript paper with a total of 28 pieces of paper, talking about her past with Pan Xulun, the father of modern Accounting in China and the founder of Lixin Accounting School.
Teacher Zong Ying likes to read and does not refuse to come to popular novels. There was a time when suspenseful detective novels were very popular, and she also wrote to me to ask me to find some for her to see. At that time, the suspense novelist Nado's "One Hundred Years Curse" had just been published, and I asked Nado to send a copy to Teacher Zongying. Unexpectedly, after Zong Ying finished reading, he also wrote a book review of this novel.
I learned a long time later that Teacher Zongying's wrestling at home was very damaging to her physical function, especially in terms of memory. Zhu Dingcheng told me that in order to exercise Huang Zongying's memory, he tested her to recite ancient poems, and "seeing lotus like a boat together, eating dates like melons together" is a sentence that Huang Zongying likes very much.
I looked at Feng Yidai's words under the lamp, and somehow I saw Huang Zongying between the lines.
Teacher Zongying was free all his life, Zhu Dingcheng had a signed copy of Huang Zongying in his hand, it is said that when he signed it, he did not have a name seal and seal clay, so Huang Zongying replaced it with lipstick and his finger print. (Shen Qihua)
