Shen didn't utter a word, but got to work immediately after the two parted, reviving the organization that very winter in Taipei. Thanks to Shen, who did the lion's share of the work in resurrecting the club, Ti's remark turned out to be more than just mere whimsy.
沈映冬二話不說，離去後馬上就辦，很快選在冬至時節，在台北恢復起粥會的文人雅聚，讓樓梯響後，立刻看見來人，因而粥友們常常以「樓梯響粥會」來戲稱台北粥會的成立，這也是對當時出力最多的沈老一種間接的讚美。
