Zhou first went to Bao Limin's house in the early 1990s. At the same time, two old journalists and writers were invited. One is Luo Fu, an old reporter of a newspaper in Hong Kong. He used to be the editor of the New Evening News. He has known Zhou many times, but he doesn't know him very well. He is younger than Zhou and is nearly seventy years old. The other is Chen Fengxi, an old newspaper reporter in Beijing. She is the wife of Jin Mancheng, a French literary translator. She used to be He Xiangning's secretary, and was nicknamed "Little Beijing Official" by Chen Yi, an old classmate of Jin Mancheng. She is nine years older than Zhou and is 85 years old. She knows Zhou Xiangzhi but doesn't know him. They are all old friends of Nie Gannu, and they met and got together because of Nie Gannu's poems.
After talking about poetry, Bao Limin took out an album of self-portraits of contemporary artists, and the envelope was "100 beautiful pictures" signed by landscape painter He. There are self-portraits of Zhi, Ye, Lu, He in the picture album, as well as limerick by painters or friends. Most of these limerick poems express the ups and downs of the master's artistic life, and the discerning person can see the truth at a glance. They are not only admirers of Nie's poems, but also the poems they wrote are similar to Nie's poems, which led Bao Limin to recruit painters to draw cartoons himself and attach the inspiration of doggerel. He told three old writers about the creativity of one hundred beautiful pictures and asked them to circulate them one by one.
Bao Limin knows that Zhou is not only a novelist, but also a calligrapher. His cursive "Pipa" won the praise of everyone in the book circle and Zhao Puchu. Bao Limin saw him leafing through the self-portrait poems with great interest and suddenly thought of it. If the blank in front of the album leads to the first prize, please ask him to write a praise for the 100 beautiful pictures published or exhibited in the future. Bao Limin said this idea, and after listening to it again and again, he found it unsatisfactory. He said cheerfully, "OK, but I don't have Cao Zijian's talent, so I can write a poem in seven steps. I will take it back and slowly scrutinize it. " Soon he called to say that the poem had been written. Bao Limin took it and wrote a poem "Dianjiang Lip" at the beginning, saying:
Describe China, thousands of people are not in your hands.
Beauty and ugliness are better than flowers and willows.
Self-portrait, called the population when chanting.
It's really hard to rot. Painting love poems is very interesting and beautiful as wine.

1996 In late autumn, I came to Bao Limin's house for the second time in Zhou. They went to attend the "Pakistan Literature Seminar" in Yong. After the meeting, Bao Limin was invited to visit Yandang Mountain Scenic Area for many times and visited the well-known small department store market in Wenzhou. Bao Limin bought a set of floor lamps. After returning to Beijing, he repeatedly urged him to meet his driver at the airport and take Bao Limin home. When you get to the building, you can go home again and again. But he insisted on going upstairs with Secretary Li. At this time, two distant relatives came to Bao Limin's house. They didn't prepare beforehand, and the living room didn't clean up. He doesn't mind at all. He went into the living room, sat on the sofa and chatted with distant relatives. He is as approachable as his family.
The last time I went to Bao Limin's house repeatedly was in the winter of 2000. Bao Limin moved to his new house, from Sanyuanli to Li Heping, and expanded from a small three-bedroom to a medium three-bedroom. After listening to it again and again, I must go and see it with Liu Lan, editor of China Workers Publishing House. Liu Lan is the editor-in-chief of Sixty Years' Essays on Literature and Art, and Bao Limin is a needle-threading person. This year, time and time again, more than one million words of "Looking Back" were sent to Liu Lan, so I brought Liu Lan to congratulate the housewarming. Bao Limin's wife was very moved to hear that Zhou Lao, 86, was not afraid of the elevator on the sixth floor and went home.
Duplicate houses are much larger than Bao Limin's. There are five rooms and two halls-living room and dining room. There are no bookcases in the second hall, and there are bookcases in every room (including the bedroom). In addition, there is a bookcase with a wall in the corridor, and the types of books are arranged regularly. According to Zhou repeatedly, he wants to find a book at night, and he can find it in the dark without turning on the light. Bao Limin stayed several times. The food was cooked by his aunt in advance and heated in the microwave oven. The cold pot of cooked food is bought from the shelf. There is only one kind of soup, which is a program reserved for guests again and again-dried silk and dried rice soup, which is delicious and cooked by yourself again and again.
