凡是熟悉我的人都知道,我是一個十分注重快樂的人,而且是一個可以在生活中經常發現快樂理由的人。說坦白話,我常常感到非常快樂的堅定理由之一是我有不少「精神朋友」(friends in spirit),或者說得更確切點,我有許多「心智伙伴」(intellectual
companions),在他們中間占大多數是以我的名義指導的博士生和碩士生,他們不自覺地用各自獨特的智慧、知識、人格魅力不斷地充實我的人生內涵。因為當他們用自己的學術研究成果向我「請教」時,實際上是在鞭策我,在擴大我的學術視野,補充我所缺乏的一種學術「營養元素」;因為當他們跟我東南西北談天說地神聊時,我會被各種若斷若續的游思、幽情所感染,不知不覺地擺脫了眼前種種世俗的瑣碎事,真正看到如畫的人生,如詩的人生,從而慢慢地,自然地讓自己有一種比較達觀、超然的人生態度。陳兵先生就是我的一個「心智伙伴」,而且是我心中僅幾個很鐵中的一個。我很了解陳兵先生,他是一個情感與理智調和得十分和諧的人,是一個在生活中注意全面、比例和平衡的人,是一個不會逾越人性中和之道的智慧人。陳兵先生做學問和他做人一樣。他很有學者風范,雖然他學術基礎厚實,並且還在孜孜不倦地結累新知識,鑽研新學問,不斷地取得新成果,但是他從來不事張揚。我可以十分肯定地說,陳兵先生的學術生涯必定輝煌,前景不可估量。
