九十年代伊始,我出席了全国话剧戏曲创作座谈会,并有幸聆听了江泽民、李瑞环同志的讲话,深受教益。江泽民同志说,希望所有的文艺工作者要弘扬民族优秀文化,深入到社会主义建设和实际生活中去,反映伟大时代的风貌,创作出无愧于我们这个时代的振奋人心的作品。李瑞环同志也强调,积极借鉴一切对我有用的外来文化,着力讴歌社会主义时代精神。这些话,听来格外亲切,令人鼓舞。我是从事戏曲现代戏创作的。作为民族优秀文化重要组成部分的戏曲,近几年来,很不景气;而反映现实生活的戏曲现代戏,更是举步维艰。这种状况,是与国内的“大气候”分不开的。我觉得,党中央和各级领导高度重视弘扬优秀民族文化,强调反映我们伟大的时代,这对振兴戏曲,尤其是繁荣现代戏来说,是十分重要和必要的条件。明确了方向,澄清了思想、理论上的是非,我们才会满怀热情,满怀信心地迈出 At the beginning of the nineties, I attended the national drama drama creation forum and was fortunate enough to listen to Comrade Jiang Zemin and Comrade Li Ruihuan’s speeches and was deeply influenced by the teachings. Comrade Jiang Zemin said: We hope all literary and art workers should promote the excellent national culture, go deep into the socialist construction and real life, reflect the style of the great era and create inspiring works worthy of our time. Comrade Li Ruihuan also emphasized that we should draw lessons from all foreign cultures that are useful to me and strive to soothe the spirit of the socialist era. These words, sounds particularly warm and encouraging. I am engaged in opera creation of modern drama. As an important component of the national excellent culture, opera has been sluggish in recent years. It is even more difficult for modern opera to reflect the real life. This situation is inseparable from the “big climate” in the country. I think that the CPC Central Committee and leaders at all levels attach great importance to promoting the excellent national culture and stressing that we should reflect our great time. This is a very important and necessary condition for rejuvenating the opera, especially the prosperity of modern drama. Clear direction, to clarify the ideological and theoretical right and wrong, we will be full of enthusiasm, taken with confidence
