I was born in Maoyan Village, Wujin, Jiangsu Province on September 27 of the lunar calendar, 1916. There were five sisters and brothers, including the eldest sister, the second sister, the Kai brother, me, and the Chang brother. Before the age of five, I was not in good health, and often got sick and I was cured by my uncle. Therefore, my parents found a godmother surnamed Shi for me.

我于一九一六年九月二十七日（阴历）出生在江苏武进茅堰村，姊妹兄弟五人，有大姊，二姊，开哥，我，和昌弟。五岁前身体不大好，常要生些病，由舅公来治好。因此为我寻了一位施姓寄娘，有了寄娘就有所寄托牢靠了。
