Chapter 84 Always think of the future master of our country——Written speech at a symposium held by the All-China Women's Federation

From the Fourth Session of the Fifth National People's Congress, we can see that our country has made great achievements in the past year, which makes me happy and encouraged! Thinking from the optimistic present to the end of this century, we cannot but think of our 300 million children and teenagers—the future masters of our country.To enable them to develop healthily and happily in the four aspects of morality, intelligence, body and beauty, and to become educated workers with socialist consciousness, we, especially women, must work together in our posts and work together. for this sacred cause.

Let’s start with us children’s literature and art workers. Over the years, we have been advocating more writing for children, acting for children, making movies for children, and publishing a large number of children’s newspapers, etc., but we are far from our ideals. .Our children's literature works are not too many, the quality is not too high, our children's publications are not widely distributed, and children in remote border areas cannot generally read their own newspapers, and children of all ethnic groups also read There are no publications compiled in their own language and so on.In this regard, children's literature and children's literature and art workers need to make great efforts.

When it comes to schooling, there are also noteworthy tendencies.Not only did the middle school students cry out that "competition on the narrow path is breathless", but even primary school students suffered from the pain of "primary school is lifelong" because of the competition for key middle schools. Under mental pressure, how can we promote the "five stresses and four beauties" to them without empty talk, how can we make children develop healthily physically and mentally? Therefore, we must continue to appeal and publicize, emphasizing equal emphasis on the four educations of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics, and emphasizing "self-taught talents".This reminds me of our Children and Youth Fund Committee, which is a group that accepts donations from units or individuals in society to nurture the next generation.The funds it accepts can be used for various facilities and activities for children and teenagers, such as children's theaters, children's film studios, science activity centers, etc. that children are eager to build.A child once said to me, "If you want to raise donations for these places, I am willing to donate all my savings—one yuan and one dime." Another child said, "You want to build a children's theater. You can also come to move a brick or dig a square of soil.” When they said these words, their expressions were serious!We shouldn't make them wait or be disappointed!
