最近,一位老儿童文学作家感慨地和我谈到,他很想给孩子们写些东西,但得不到社会上的重视。他谈到有的资本主义国家报纸每年要为儿童出很厚的儿童专辑,很多大作家都为儿童写东西。我知道,有的资本主义国家过去一个专业儿童剧团也没有,现在竟有一百多个专业儿童剧团。为什么?因为他们要培养他们事业的接班人。我们应提到这样的高度来看:中国要实现四个现代化,不重视对少年儿童的教育是不行的。邓小平 Recently, an old children’s literature writer said with emotion to me that he really wanted to write something for the children but could not get the social attention. He talked about some annual newspapers in the capitalist countries that produce very thick children’s albums for children, and many of the major writers have written for children. I know that some capitalist countries did not have a professional theater troupe in the past, and now there are over a hundred professional children’s troupes. Why? Because they want to train successors in their careers. We should mention the high point of view: It is impossible for China to realize the four modernizations without paying due attention to the education of children and adolescents. Deng Xiaoping
