十九世纪末,传统中国迫于“救亡图存”的压力,步履蹒跚地走上了现代化之途。历经百年沧桑之后,中国社会至今仍然走在现代化的途中。因此,诸如“现代化”、“现代性”、“现代主义”等命题对于关注本民族命运的现代中国知识分子而言,始终是具有切身性的现实问题,而不仅仅是纯理论思考中的抽象范畴,更非可供把玩的时髦话题。就笔者的视野所及,前北大校长蒋梦麟先生在其名著《西潮》中的一段回顾之言,最足表明近现代中国知识分子对“现代化”进程或“现代化”命题的切身之感:“半世纪以前(指19世纪末,——笔者按),这些轮船曾经把自来火、时辰钟、洋油灯、玩具,以及其他实用和巧妙的外国货带到中国。我童年时在安宁的乡村里就曾经玩过这些洋货。我们天真而不自觉地吸收这些新鲜的玩艺儿,实际上正是一次大转变的开端,这次转变使中国步上现代化之途,同时也经历了相伴而生的苦难、扰攘、危险,以及旧中国恬静生活的迅速消...

差不多十年以后,黄永玉叔叔写了一篇纪念李可染先生的文章,精彩地描述了我们大雅宝。我看了以后就到黄叔叔、黄妈妈家喝茶,黄妈妈就是梅溪阿姨,她是个文学家。这个系列的第一本,就是这本《大雅宝旧事》。第一部分第一章 生正逢时我三十二岁的时候,还蹲在监狱里什么都不是呢。九斤老太说得好:一代不如一代。我们也许眼泪汪汪地自我辩解说:我们没赶上改朝换代的好时光啊。哎,全耽误了。哈。我爸有时候运气特别好,正关在延安另类窑洞的时候,突然国共说好了要合作,于是中共中央就同意外国的记者来看看这个黄土堆里的理想国,接着有个国内的记者代表团也要来住一段仔细参观,这样延安就得接待这群记者了,有美国的也有中国的,人手就不够了:好多人都正关着呢。后来我看了美国史沫特莱写的报道,也看过赵超构写的《延安一月》,他们写的是蜻蜓点水的仓促感受,但他们的到来至少促使中共中央决定放出来一些人。...
