I went to Scapli first in 1948. There were no local (当地的) planes in those days, so I made the trip by bus. The journey was a thousand kilometres and it took the bus twenty hours. Throughout this time I sat beside a man about my age, 24. He told me that his name was Castleton, John Castleton, but he told me hardly anything else. I had never met anybody with so little to say. I was glad when the conductor handed out pillows (枕头), which gave me an excuse to try to sleep. I shall never forget that silent, unpleasant trip.
The next time I went to Scapli was in 1976, by air this time. The new town was being officially opened by the President, after many years of construction work. In the plane I had a long and interesting talk with a man who turned out to be chief engineer of the new town. When the plane landed, we exchanged names. To my great surprise, he was John Castleton, whom I felt sure I had met many years before.
