医生和音乐，是世间两个多么和谐的概念！父亲那医治人生理病痛的灵魂，从奥妙的无比美妙的音乐中去获取抚慰。这大概是父亲给我们家人，或许也给他的同事，朋友们留下的最为深的印象之一。

我永远忘不了，只要父亲在家里，都有音乐陪伴着他，不只是陪着他的闲暇，也柔声陪着他做家事，种花，甚至在阅读专业文稿时，也不把音乐关掉，他说，“音乐不会打乱我的思路，相反， 好音乐会使我思想活跃。”我有时想，达到这样的境界，人对音乐的感觉要有怎样的深度。

门德尔松小提琴协奏曲那无与伦比的美丽旋律，贝多芬第五钢琴协奏曲那辉煌的想象力，常使父亲沉溺其中，他可以轻松告诉你，沙拉沙蒂的小提琴曲《流浪者》各个演奏版本的差异和优劣。 当看到你显示了对音乐的兴趣和理解时，他的眼睛会放出满足的光彩。

从他住过的重庆南路三德坊21号，到桂林路6号楼，再到达安花园2号楼，我看见他的音响设备不断扩大翻新。有一次我从美国回到上海，进门听到他第一句话就是，“看看这套新音响， 是左医生家洪峰帮助购买安装的！”我知道，这是他唯一愿意花钱走在时代前列的地方。

父亲对生活的要求十分简单，衣着永远朴实整洁，一个拎包不知用了多少年，自己的物件不到用坏不舍得扔掉，然而对买书，买唱片和磁带却是大方得出奇。上海音乐学院旁边的汾阳路， 有一家门面不大的音乐书店是他常常光顾的地方，他留了电话给两个营业员姑娘，请她们随时向他通报到货的消息。一有他所喜爱的或紧俏的唱片和磁带，无论是下着阵头雨还是刮台风， 父亲是一定要当日去买回来的。我几次在家时感到不解，劝父亲等天好些再出门，这时母亲会说，“让伊去，否则要是卖掉了或数量少了，他会念叨几天！”对一种唱片或磁带，他总要买几份， 除了给我们这些小辈外，他留着在过年过节时送给他科室的医生，同事，学生等。

人们说，爱听古典音乐的人会健康，愉快，长寿。我想，父亲的音乐爱好已超出了这种境界。他用那种高雅享受来对抗横流的物化冲击，他在孤寂中通过音乐与人们分享友爱， 他用音乐来沉淀自己的思绪和品性，兢兢业业做好自己的医生角色。

亲爱的父亲，在世间时，音乐成了您肌体的一部分，此时，您也会在音乐中永生！

English Version ---------------------------


Father, may you live forever in music

Doctors and music are two harmonious concepts in the world! The father's soul, which heals people's physical pain, obtains comfort from the mysterious and incomparably beautiful music. This is probably one of the deepest impressions my father left on our family, and perhaps on his colleagues and friends.

I will never forget that as long as my father is at home, there is music to accompany him, not only to accompany him in his leisure time, but also to accompany him softly in doing housework, planting flowers, and even reading professional manuscripts without turning off the music. He said, "Music doesn't disturb my thoughts, on the contrary, good music makes my thoughts active." I sometimes think, to reach such a state, how deep should people feel about music.

The incomparably beautiful melody of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto and the brilliant imagination of Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto often fascinated his father. He can easily tell you the differences and advantages and disadvantages of different versions of performances of Sarashadi's violin piece "The Wanderer". His eyes will light up with contentment when he sees your interest and understanding in music.

From No. 21 Sandefang of Chongqing South Road, where he lived, to No. 6 Guilin Road Building, and then to No. 2 Building of DaAn-Huayuan, I saw his audio equipment continue to expand and refurbish. Once I returned to Shanghai from the United States, and the first thing I heard when I entered the door was, "Look at this new set of speakers. Dr. Zuo's son Hong Feng helped to buy and install them!" For all I know, it's the only place he's willing to pay to be ahead of his time.

My father's requirements for life are very simple. His clothes are always simple and tidy. I don't know how many years he has used a hand bag. He doesn't want to throw away his things until they are worn out. On Fenyang Road next to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, there is a small music bookstore that he often visits. He left a phone number to two salesperson girls and asked them to inform him of the new arrival of the goods stuffs at any time. As soon as there are records and tapes that he likes or are in short supply, whether it is raining or a typhoon, my father must go and buy them on the same day. I was puzzled several times when I was at home and told my father to wait until the weather gets better before going out. At this time, my mother would say, "Let him go, otherwise if something is sold or the quantity is low, he will talk about it for a few days!" For some type of record or tape, he always buys several copies, In addition gave to us juniors, he also kept them to gave the doctors, colleagues, students of his department during the Chinese New Year .

It is said that those who listen to classical music will live a healthy, happy and long life. I think my father's music hobby has gone beyond this. He used that kind of elegant enjoyment to fight against the materialized impact of cross-currents, he shared friendship with people through music in loneliness, and he used music to precipitate his thoughts and character, and conscientiously performed his role as a doctor. Dear father, music has become a part of your body when you are in the world, and at this time, you will live forever with music!
