一九三二年夏,我有幸结识了中国现代第一位写作江西「苏维埃」农民和红军的作家——叶紫。一九三四年七月,我被国民党抓去;一九三五年十二月被释后,我还见过叶紫,以后我就到延安去了,没有再见到他。他在一九三九年十月五日在上海乡间逝世,留下了一部由鲁迅作序言和投资出版的《叶紫短篇小说集》和一部未完成的长篇小说《太阳从西边出来》。 In the summer of 1932, I was fortunate enough to get acquainted with Ye Zizhi, the first writer in modern China to write a book on the “Soviet” peasants and the Red Army in Jiangxi. In July 1934, I was arrested by the Kuomintang. After I was released in December 1935, I also met with Ye Zi. Later I went to Yan’an and did not see him again. He passed away in the Shanghai countryside on October 5, 1939, leaving behind a collection of leafless stories published by Lu Xun and a non-completed novel “The Sun Comes From the West” .
