我第一次看到《民族团结》杂志,是60年代初在北京读小学的时候。那时,母亲在北京电影学院工作,我也就常到学院的图书阅览室翻阅杂志。《民族团结》是我喜爱的杂志之一,她介绍的绚丽多彩的民族风情深深地吸引了我,使我对祖国的边疆,对兄弟民族地区充满了神往之情。怎么也想不到的是,10年以后,我竟参军来到了新疆,而且先喀什后乌鲁木齐,一呆就将近20年。新疆地区富于传奇色彩的历史,新疆各兄弟民族悠久灿烂的传统文化,令我产生了浓厚的兴趣,当战士时就开始涉猎有关兄弟民族历史、文化方面的典籍,调到军区机关做文化工作后就更加乐此不疲了。偶有所得,常向一起工作的兄弟民族战友谈起:在辉煌的《二十四史》中,《辽史》、《金史》、《宋史》都倾注了蒙古、维吾尔、回等民族学者的心血,维吾尔族航海家亦黑迷失,早在元朝初年就曾率领一支庞 The first time I saw “National Unity” magazine, I was in Beijing in elementary school in the early 1960s.
