因为我的不少文章被收在中学的语文课本中,便有和语文有关的杂志编辑约我写文章,谈谈关于读书的问题。就从我那篇被选入课本的散文《旷野的微光》谈起吧。《旷野的微光》写于1980年10月,当时我还是华东师大中文系的学生,坐在文史楼的大教室里写了这篇散文,写的是在崇明岛“插队 Because many of my articles were collected in Chinese language textbooks in secondary schools, there are magazine editors who are concerned with the language and asked me to write an article about the issue of reading.

I was a student of the Chinese Department of East China Normal University. I wrote this essay in a large classroom in the History and History Building, and wrote a “cut line” on Chongming Island.
