听说由葛一虹同志主编的《中国话剧史》,已列入国家的社会科学(艺术部分)重点研究项目,我热烈地期待着这部专著早日问世。在编写话剧史的过程中,中国艺术研究院话剧研究所还计划编纂若干集《中国话剧艺术家传》,我也很高兴地支持这一工作。 I have heard that the history of Chinese drama, which was edited by Comrade Ge Yihong, has been included in the key research projects in the social sciences (art part) of the country and I warmly look forward to the early publication of this monograph. During the preparation of the history of drama, the Institute of Theater Arts of the China Academy of Art also plans to compile a number of “The Biography of Chinese Drama Artists.” I am also very happy to support this work.
