The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, commonly known as the Cultural Revolution, was a social-political movement that took place in the People's Republic of China from 1966 until 1976. Set into motion by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Communist Party of China, its stated goal was to preserve...

〖Guo, vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, vice chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Quanguowenlian chairman.

 

Because of the time, put it simply a few.

Shixi Zemin's report to me, there is a personal experience. Put a little painful, there is a painful experience. Because in general friends, comrades it seems, I was a intellectuals, and even better people say I'm a writer or a poet, and what is a historian. For decades, he has been holding a pen to write things, also translated some things. Number of words is concerned, I am afraid there are a few million words of. However, take today's standards in terms of what I've written, strictly speaking, should all burn it, with no value.

What are the main reason? Chairman Mao's thought is not to learn, not to arm themselves with Chairman Mao's thought, so class viewpoint sometimes blurred.

Cultural and historical context, in the newspaper recently carried out a thorough criticism, which is good, I have read about. I was linked to the self-transformation of view, is not standing on the sidelines. Every article, every criticism, almost every leather into my own "life" up. I'm not here just to say, is indeed the case, I was not thinking of Chairman Mao learn, did not transform itself well.

Of course, I really was a literary and art workers, Madam President, and I still text-linked. Some unhealthy trends on the literary and art circles, I can not say no responsibility. Since Chairman Mao "on the Yan'an Forum speech" was published, has twenty years, I've read many times, sometimes also can get oral speaking, peasants and soldiers to serve you, the workers want to study the matter, however, it is only lip service. Marxism-Leninism verbal, paper Marxism-Leninism is not practical to do, no practice, no real according to the instructions of Chairman Mao, Mao thought did not learn.

Very ashamed. Twenty years ago, Chairman Mao taught us to serve us for the workers. Today, we are not in service for the workers, peasants and soldiers, but for us the service. Now the workers study Chairman Mao's works, write something better than us. In particular, we take the pen of man, do art, from history, who engage in philosophy, we must deeply reflect. I feel very uncomfortable, it is not a good transformation.

For example, report mentioned "Ouyang Song of the Sea", which is an epoch-making novel. On Comrade Kim Kyong step when soldiers for several years, is still the Guangdong army art troupe to work. Because of his many years as a soldier, so he can write, "Ouyang Song of the Sea" to. This book, I can not see right and wrong reading, here today, regardless of which one can try to find a "Ouyang Song of the Sea", I recommend you read it properly again. He really put Ouyanghai write to live, to live Chairman Mao's thought wrote. Comrade Ouyang sea is 1963 sacrifice. He has to stop in 1963, all of the party's principles and policies, the thought of the President, almost all housed in this novel inside. It seems that today the so-called professional writers and artists, in fact, write to. He was really in the army rolled a blood only people who could write such literary works. Therefore, the soldiers served us, not us for the workers in the service.

Report mentioned a large clay "Rent Collection Courtyard" is revolutionizing sculpture, is still Museum of Art exhibition. I read it three times. It was very moving people, there are a lot of spectators watched in tears, because they think of their own history and touches of class feelings. Really good, that's our story Sichuan Dayi Liu. It is said in Dayi over 140 original works of six characters, we only have sixty a few, only a part of the performance has been very touched people. It has been around for thousands of people to see, and now May tickets are sold out. If you do not see all of you, I think we should not miss this opportunity, we must look at, but also by our own time education. A few days ago a Japanese delegation that they are engaged in literary delegation, when I met with them, the head of the delegation to say that we came to China first issue, just read "Rent Collection Courtyard" very fruitful. Engage in "Rent Collection Courtyard" part of Sichuan workers come, do not know is still not in? They work in the exhibition hall of the back room, and I went to see them is to use straw bones, straw cut into inch long way, with the mud and on the inside, then wrap up. Materials are very cheap. I think no matter how good the taste of clay than plaster, than the marble statue, white marble statues than to move people. Especially with mud to plastic farmers do not need to roll a mud, it was a mud. "Rent Collection Courtyard" is indeed a good masterpiece, is revolutionizing sculpture. The reason it has been able to succeed, is to grasp the President of thought, utilize the idea of ​​the President. Learn and use, with the sculpture up, we received a landmark achievement. Therefore, the "Rent Collection Courtyard" way, so that our comrades Liu Kaiqu Beijing's Central Academy of Fine Arts, as well as quite a few people, has been a very good education. They all work together with the workers, six dozen plastic imitation statue is now on display in the figure. This is for us workers, and workers' education us.

In fact, many farmers learn Chairman Mao learn better than any of us, much more than we learn better these intellectuals. Our intellectuals, what philosopher rhetoric, historian, what family is simply not a home. Workers, peasants, much better than we learn better. Last year I went to Shanxi, to hear Zhou Ming Shan comrade (who are farmers) Let's talk about the learning experience of Chairman Mao's works, then it is lively. He is now Xinjiang County county party secretary, he also deputies.

We really ashamed, especially I am ashamed. It will not be ashamed. I myself, as a party member, but also what home, tears to flow toward the stomach. In a word, we have not only failed to serve the workers, peasants and soldiers, but the reverse to be in terms of history and philosophy served us. We should be grateful to the workers, peasants and soldiers, thanks for the teachers, because they thought the chairman learn, and use live.

I like the words of today's statement is indeed a form of my mind, my heart wanted to say the words. I am now to take the workers to learn how not to talk about issues like services for the workers. Now the workers should take place to learn, thanks to the workers for teachers. Although I've seventies, and there is little ambition. That is to roll a mud, I am willing; to dip an oil, I am willing; even to dye one of blood, if the US imperialists to hit us, then, to the US imperialists throw a few grenades, I am willing. What I mean is this, now the workers should learn to, if there is possible, then a good service for the workers.
