一張張的地下文字，變成了碎片，在他腳下飛舞，他低著頭，看見(jiàn)紙片上的字漸漸小去，小去，他復(fù)發(fā)了青光眼……

　　他對(duì)我抱歉地說(shuō)，他看不得別人對(duì)藝術(shù)事業(yè)的糟蹋。他伸手摸起桌上一個(gè)照相架，里面是一張他扮演老工人的劇照，相框是古銅色雕花的。

　　“一個(gè)完整的藝術(shù)品，應(yīng)當(dāng)包括這個(gè)框架。翼幕就是舞臺(tái)框子。假使把翼幕當(dāng)成‘褲腳管’，隨便破壞它，那我們?cè)趺茨芊Q得上是人類靈魂的工程師呢!”

　　我真希望他現(xiàn)在能眼睛豁亮起來(lái)，讓他看到我的淚水，我的懺悔。他看見(jiàn)了，因?yàn)樗麤](méi)有再說(shuō)下去。

　　Then suddenly one of the old actor's favorite students flung out the article, On the Integrity of Stage An, which the old actor had written in secret when he was confined in the "ox shed"" This set the whole audience boiling as if salt had been poured into a pot of hot oil.

　　"He even dared to write reactionary articles in the ‘ox shed' to poison people's minds!"

　　Viciously they tore up all the streets of his article and scattered the pieces swirling around the old actor's feet. Bending his head, he watched the words on the scraps of paper becoming fainter and fainter until he could see no mare because of a relapse of glaucoma.

　　The old veteran then told me as if in apology that he couldn't bear to see art maltreated. Fumbling on the table, he took up a carved bronze-colored photo frame containing a stage photo of himself as a Veteran worker. He said to me, "A complete work of art should include the frame as well. The side curtains are a part of the stage frame. If we treat them as ‘trouser legs' and abuse them at will, how can we actors deserve to be referred to as 'the engineers of the human soul'?"

　　How I wished he could see again! He would see my regretful tears. Yes, he did see all too clearly, for he abruptly broke off.
