清    贫   

 我    从    事    革    命    斗    争   , 已    经    十    余    年    了   。 在    这    长    期    的    奋    斗    中   , 我    一    向    是    过    着    朴    素    的    生    活   , 从    没    有    奢    侈    过   。 经    手    的    款    项   , 总    在    数    百    万    元   ; 但    为    革    命    而    筹    集    的    金    钱   , 是    一    点    一    滴    都    用    之    于    革    命    事    业    的   。 这    在    国    方    的    伟    人    们    看    来   , 颇    似    奇    迹   , 或    认    为    夸    张   ; 而    矜    持    不    苟   , 舍    己    为    公   , 却    是    每    个    共    产    党    员    具    备    的    美    德   。 所    以   , 如    果    有    人    问    我    身    边    有    没    有    一    些    积    蓄   , 那    我    可    以    告    诉    你    一    桩    趣    事   
 就    在    我    被    俘    的    那    一    天   —— 一    个    最    不    幸    的    日    子   , 有    两    个    国    方    兵    士   , 在    树    林    中    发    现    了    我   , 而    且    猜    到    了    我    是    什    么    人   , 他    们    满    肚    子    热    望    在    我    身    上    搜    出    一    千    或    八    百    大    洋   , 或    者    搜    出    一    些    金    镯    金    戒    指    一    类    的    东    西   , 发    个    意    外    之    财   。 哪    知    道    从    我    上    身    摸    到    下    身   , 从    袄    领    捏    到    袜    底   , 除    了    一    只    时    表    和    一    支    自    来    水    笔   , 一    个    铜    板    都    没    有    搜    出   。 他    们    于    是    被    激    怒    了   , 猜    疑    我    是    把    钱    藏    在    哪    里   , 不    肯    拿    出    来   。 他    们    之    中    有    一    个   , 左    手    拿    着    一    个    木    柄    榴    弹   , 右    手    拉    出    榴    弹    中    的    引    线   , 双    脚    拉    开    一    步   , 做    出    要    抛    掷    的    姿    势   , 用    凶    恶    的    眼    光    盯    着    我   , 威    吓    地    吼    道   :
 赶    快    将    钱    拿    出    来   , 不    然    就    是    一    炸    弹   , 把    你    炸    死    去   !
 哼   ! 你    不    要    做    出    那    难    看    的    样    子    来    吧   ! 我    确    实    一    个    铜    板    都    没    有    存   , 想    从    我    这    里    发    洋    财   , 是    想    错    了   。 我    微    笑    着   , 淡    淡    地    说   
 你    骗    谁   ! 像    你    这    样    当    大    官    的    人    会    没    有    钱   ! 拿    榴    弹    的    兵    士    坚    决    不    相    信   
 绝    不    会    没    有    钱    的   , 一    定    是    藏    在    哪    里   , 我    是    老    出    门    的   , 骗    不    得    我   。 另    一    个    兵    士    一    面    说   , 一    面    弓    着    背    将    我    的    衣    角    裤    裆    过    细    地    捏   , 总     企    望    着    有    新    的    发    现   
 你    们    要    相    信    我    的    话   , 不    要    瞎    忙    吧   ! 我    不    比    你    们    国    民    党    当    官   , 个    个    都    有    钱   , 我    今    天    确    实    是    一    个    铜    板    也    没    有   , 我    们    革    命    不    是    为    着    发    财   !  我    再    次    向    他    们    解    释   
 等    他    们    确    知    在    我    身    上    搜    不    出    什    么    的    时    候   , 也    就    停    手    不    搜    了   ; 又    在    我    藏    躲    的    地    方    周    围   , 低    头    注    目    搜    寻    了    一    番   , 也    毫    无    所    得   。 他    们    是    多    么    失    望    啊   ! 那    个    持    弹    欲    放    的    兵    士   , 也    将    拉    着    的    引    线   , 仍    旧    塞    进    榴    弹    的    木    柄    里   , 转    过    来    抢    夺    我    的    表    和    水    笔   。 后    来    彼    此    说    定    表    和    笔    卖    出    钱    来    平    分   , 才    算    无    话   。 他    们    用    怀    疑    而    又    惊    异    的    目    光   , 对    我    自    上    而    下    地    望    了    几    遍   , 就    同    声    命    令   : 走    吧   !
 是    不    是    还    要    问    问    我    家    里    有    没    有    一    些    财    产   ? 请    等    一    下   , 让    我    想    一    想   , 啊   , 记    起    来    了   , 有    的    有    的   , 但    不    算    多   。 去    年    暑    天    我    穿    的    几    套    旧    的    汗    褂    裤   , 与    几    双    缝    上    底    的    线    袜   , 已    交    给    我    的    妻    放    在    深    山    坞    里    保    藏    着   —— 怕    国    军    进    攻    时   , 被    人    抢    了    去   , 准    备    今    年    暑    天    拿    出    来    再    穿   ; 那    些    就    算    是    我    唯    一    的    财    产    了   。 但    我    说    出    那    几    件    传    世    宝    来   , 岂    不    要    叫    那    些    富    翁    们    齿    冷    三    天   ?!
 清    贫   , 洁    白    朴    素    的    生    活   , 正    是    我    们    革    命    者    能    够    战    胜    许    多    困    难    的    地    方   !
