余光中的名字早为大陆读者熟知。各地书店书摊,自然少不了一本印制精美的余光中诗选。其中最为著名的,是《乡愁》,加之有人将其谱曲成歌,流传更为广远。此诗已入选上海地区(H 版)高中语文教材。去年6月,笔者与余光中教授苏州幸遇。拜访余先生之前,曾听到有关余先生的一些掌故。当年余先生出诗集,请梁实秋作序, Yu Guangzhong’s name was well known to the mainland readers. The booksellers’ bookstores all over the country naturally lacked a beautifully printed collection of Yu Guangzhong’s poems. One of the most famous is the “Homesickness”, plus some people compose it into songs and spread them even more widely. This poem has been selected as a high school language textbook for the Shanghai Region (H version). In June of last year, the author and Yu Guangzhong, Professor Suzhou, were lucky. Prior to his visit to Mr. Yu, he heard some tips about Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu made a poem collection in that year and asked Liang Shiqiu to preface.
