Tian Jiaying, a man who would live or die for the country
1922年，田家英出生在双流县一个普通家庭，他是家中幼子，一直得到父母喜爱。但父母早逝，年幼的他便在家中的药铺里当起了抓药的“抓抓匠”。一位颇有学识的乡邻见他聪颖，于是教他读书。12岁时，他开始在刊物上发表文章，引起了许多人的注意。1937年，卢沟桥事变爆发，田家英迅速投身到抗日救亡运动当中去，他却也因此被学校开除。于是他不告而别，离开成都，与几名志同道合之人踏上了前往延安的路。
1938年，田家英加入中国共产党，入陕北公学读书。毕业后留校，任校总支秘书、中国近代史教员、宣传科教育干事等职。1942年，毛泽东在《解放日报》上读到了一篇名为《从侯方域说起》的杂文，虽然只有短短一千余字，但思想深邃，从中可见作者不凡的文史功力。这篇文章就是田家英所写。更让毛泽东想不到的是，此时田家英只有二十多岁，不由得大为赞叹。那时毛岸英刚刚回国，由于长期待在苏联，汉语讲得不太好，毛泽东便请他担任毛岸英的老师，教授历史和语文。
解放战争胜利前夕，毛泽东的工作变得异常繁重，急需要增加一名秘书。经推荐，田家英成为毛泽东的第五位秘书，也是最年轻的一位。田家英细致干练，文学功底深厚，毛泽东又是一代文学大家，两人诗交甚厚。毛泽东创作时，如果遇到想不起来的章句，也会来向他咨询。

1955年，田家英任中央办公厅副主任，这一年正是全国农业合作化运动的高潮时期。田家英被派遣到全国各地调查农业合作化情况。他四处辗转，次年回到了老家双流。他在故乡踏着泥泞行走，看家乡二十多年的变化甚是感慨。(www.xing528.com)
在潜心公务之际，田家英还醉心于清史和收藏，他收藏了大量清代学者的信札、轴联、手卷。他很敬仰戊戌六君子之一的谭嗣同，将自己的书斋也以谭嗣同的书斋来命名，只是在前面加了个小字，名为“小莽苍苍斋”。他也很佩服萧一山仅凭一己之力撰写了中国第一部体系完整的“清史”，并得梁启超作序。但他也察觉到《清代通史》当中存在着诸多问题，他决心完成一部以唯物史观为指导的清史。这个想法得到了毛泽东的赞誉。
田家英对国家和人民付出了满腔热爱，以林则徐“苟利国家生死以，岂因祸福避趋之”为人生准绳。在文学和史学上，他更是以极高的天赋和极大的热情，为清史的留存作出了巨大的贡献。
