昨天下午,古典文学研究学者、“诗词的女儿”“感动中国2020年度人物”叶嘉莹女士去世,享年100岁。
《感动中国》组委会给与叶嘉莹的颁奖词中是这么写的:
“桃李天下,传承一家。你发掘诗歌的秘密,人们感发于你的传奇。转蓬万里,情牵华夏,续易安灯火,得唐宋薪传,继静安绝学,贯中西文脉。你是诗词的女儿,你是风雅的先生。”
叶女士是加拿大籍华人,1924年出生于北京一户满族家庭,家族本姓叶赫那拉,与纳兰性德同宗。
叶嘉莹女士曾在北美执教多年,1978年,她在报纸上看到内地学校需要教师,便给我国国家教委写了 一封申请信,希望不要任何报酬回国教书。
很快,叶嘉莹女士的申请得到批准,来到南开大学开始教书。20年来,她在国内几十所大学巡回讲学,为我国培养了大批中国古典文学研究人才。
叶嘉莹女士生活极度节俭,但将将自己毕生积蓄3568万元捐赠给南开大学教育基金会,用于支持中国传统文化研究。对此,她唯一的解释是:“我的莲花总会凋落,我要把莲子留下来”。
她还说:我这辈子只做了一件事,那就是教书。如果有来生,我还教古典诗词。
下面我们再一起回顾一遍叶嘉莹生平,纪念这位伟大的女士!
