The China Translation Association has awarded Ren Rongrong the Lifetime Achievement Award of Translation Culture, which is the best praise for Ren Rongrong as an emissary of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.

The fact that China has Ren Rong is a blessing for Chinese children as well as Chinese children's literature. " Yin Jianling, a member of the presidium of the Shanghai Writers Association, director of the Children's Literature Committee of the Shanghai Writers Association and a writer of children's literature, once said, "his 100-year-old life is synchronized with the history of the introduction of world classic children's literature into China." he opened a door for the children of our country, allowing fresh, smart, leaping imagination and ideas to come. His 100-year-old life is also a way for a wise man to be optimistic, optimistic and thorough in the dust of history. He will always be an old child, and he has made us realize that being a child again and again is the highest state of life. "

When Yin Jianling first met Ren Rong when she was in college, she let Rong talk about her mother with her friends. It was the first time she heard a white-haired grandfather say the word "mother" like a child. "with his mother around, the old man is also his mother's baby. When the mother died at the age of 98, the most worrying thing was the problem of her son's food. In order to reassure his mother, the son learned to cook at the age of seventy. Ren Lao wrote these in later articles, there is no lyric and sensational, it is still an honest vernacular. "

Yin Jianling also told thepaper.cn that after getting old, Ren Rong still has many hobbies, such as listening to Beijing Opera, listening to classical music, watching movies, TV, eating good food, and so on. He is from Guangdong and is a gourmet himself. His gourmet articles are not gimmicks, but he speaks vividly, not only to eat, but also to eat in the past life. "it was the same 'little Shaoxing' family, but in the early 1960s he ate its fried ribs, which was Xiao Shaoxing's previous life. As for white chopped chicken and chicken porridge, it was its present life. He wrote about food, as well as pictures related to food: the considerate waiters of Shandong Han in the Asian Western Food Society in the early 1940s, the waiters who looked up in Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant shortly after the Cultural Revolution, the movie stars who shared tables with him in restaurants, and the old chef who made snacks for Emperor Xuantong but only used corn flour to make bread in difficult times. What you taste is food, but what you realize is the face of life. "
