The distinguished naturalist and author Meng Tung-li, who passed away last September, once fulsomely praised Ah-pao's talent, then couldn't resist adding: "You always feel that she's not romantic, that she doesn't have any passion."
去年 9 月辭世、一生風流倜儻的自然主義作家孟東籬，曾在盛讚阿寶才華洋溢之餘，不免發出老孟式的懷疑：「你總覺得她這個人『不』浪漫，沒有濃情蜜意，有點『太上忘情』。」
