“向来现代女小说家所写的小说都是抒情的,显示自己是一个女性,描写的范围限于自己所生活的小圈子;但罗洪却是写实的,我们如果不看作者的名字,几乎不能知道作者是一个女性,描写的范围广阔,很多出乎她自己小圈子以外。……以前女小说家都只能说是诗人,罗洪女士才是真正的小说家。” ——赵景深:《文坛忆旧》在上海一个普通的里弄里,我找到了罗洪,当时她正在居民委员会开会。后来我才知道,这位曾经有过较大影响的女作家,于一九七一年被“四人帮”勒令退休,居民委员会召集的会议,成了她唯一的政治生活。她认为,在那里可以接触各种各样的人,了解各种各样的事,这对一个作家来说是有意义的。 “Novels written by modern women novelists are lyrical, show that they are a woman, the scope of description limited to the circle they live in; but Luo Hong is realistic, if we do not look at the author’s name, almost Can not know the author is a woman, a wide range of descriptions, many out of her own little circle outside ... ... Female novelists can only be said before the poet, Ms. Luo Hong is a real novelist. ”- Zhao Jingshen : “The Old World of Literature” In an ordinary neighborhood in Shanghai, I found Luo Hong, who was sitting in a neighborhood committee. Later, I learned that this once influential female writer was ordered to retire by the “gang of four” in 1972 and the meeting convened by the residents committee became her sole political life. She believes that there can be access to all kinds of people, to understand a variety of things, it makes sense for a writer.
