Recently, the leading comrades of the library asked me to write an article about the library. I agreed immediately without even thinking about it. But I was a little surprised at once.

1946, I came back from Europe. I went to China for nearly 1 1 year, and returned to Beiping in the late autumn when the leaves were full of Chang 'an (Chang 'an Avenue). Working in Peking University, the inner fluctuations are indescribable, both exciting and lonely; Happy and melancholy. However, I immediately went to a place where I could settle down.

Because of the special favor of the library leaders at that time, the library gave a research room, downstairs on the left. Outside the window is the only way to the gray building, and people often pass by, so it can't be said that it is quiet. But in the library, it is quiet and unusual. There is also a professor's research room around my research room. Of course, every room has its own owner, but few people come, so the corridor is as quiet as an ancient temple, which is really a good place to learn to write. I can go to Wan Li Road and harass for more than ten years. Sometimes I dream of getting a desk with a square foot, but I can't get it.
