The paper argues that the aim of commemorating GAO E, the sequel author of the masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions, is to better recognize the 120-chapter book edited by GAO E and CHENG Wei-yuan and bequeath the best Chinese traditional literature. Mr. YU Ping-bo strengthened, twice in his late years, the importance of“Cheng and Gao Edition”of A Dream of Red Mansions, which reflects the deep concern over the book by the old generation of academic masters.“Cheng and Gao Edition”is different from“Gengchen Ver-sion”:the former is considered to be the sequel of book by GAO E and CHENG Wei-yuan while the latter is originally written by CAO Xue-qin which only has the front 80 chapters left. The paper advocates that it is not adequate to substitute“Gengchen Version”for“Cheng and Gao Edition”of A Dream of Red Mansions, but to check against the authoritative text and make the“Cheng and Gao Edition”known worldwide.%纪念高鹗，其根本目的就是要更好地认识他和程伟元整理的120本《红楼梦》；正确地向国内外和我们的子孙宣传、传承“国宝”程高本《红楼梦》。俞平伯晚年两次对自己研究《红楼梦》的反思，对学界正确认识程高本《红楼梦》极端重要。程伟元、高鹗整理《红楼梦》从目的到方法都是正确地，无可指责。程本前八十回和庚辰本的优劣与正确传承、保全《红楼梦》是两个完全不同层面的问题。用庚辰本替代和肢解程本《红楼梦》是不妥当的。应该重新组织专家力量注释、校对一部优秀的程本《红楼梦》以作普及、传世本《红楼梦》。
