一我國是一個統一的多民族的國家,除漢族外尚有幾十種少數民族,其人口約有四千萬左右。一百多年來,帝國主義者以及滿清政府、北洋軍閥和蔣匪幫對各民族進行殘酷的統治壓迫與挑撥,使各族人民長期過著極度貧困悲慘的生活,造成政治、經濟、文化落後的狀態。有許多民族沒有自己的文字,更談不到識字和進學校,有些民族根本沒有學校或學校少得極可憐,據中央訪問團一九五一年調查:海南白沙縣五個村五百人中百分之九十九是文盲。一九五二年調查:湘西苗族自治區乾德縣五區文盲占百分之九十四。 Our country is a united and multi-ethnic country. Apart from the Han people, there are dozens of ethnic minorities and its population is about 40 million. For more than 100 years, the imperialists, as well as the Manchu government, the Beiyang warlords and Chiang’s gangs, have oppressed and scrimped the ruling ethnic groups and made the people of all ethnic groups long-term lives in dire poverty and poverty, resulting in political, economic and cultural backwardness status. Many ethnic groups do not have their own words, not to mention literacy and school. Some ethnic groups do not have schools or schools are extremely poor.
