最近,我有机会訪問了河南商丘县郭村乡新华人民公社。这个公社建立了一所“青年紅专艺术学院”,培养公社自己的艺术人材,学院的教員是根据“就地取材,能者为师”的原則从本社的老艺人、中学教員中物色的。学生是由各生产队选送的有艺术才能的中貧农子弟。全院一百一十人,分有一百五士亩地。学院的师生,半日学習,半日劳动,要在三年的学習期間把他們培养成既是优秀的艺术家,又是生产能手。現在,商丘县全县二十二个人民公社都已經建立了这样的艺术学院。这真是农民兄弟們在文化革命高潮中一項大胆的創举。我到新华人民公社訪問的这一天,正是商丘县文教局召集全县各人民公社的文教干部在这个社里举行 Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Xinhua People’s Commune, Guocun Township, Shangqiu County, Henan Province. This commune has established a “youth academy of red art” to cultivate its own art talent. The faculty members of the commune are identified from the professors and secondary school teachers of the society based on the principle of “drawing on the spot and capable of being teachers”. The students are middle-poor peasants who have the artistic talents selected by the production teams. One hundred and ten people in the hospital, divided into one hundred and fifty acres of land. College teachers and students, half-time study, half-time work, to be trained during the three-year study is both excellent artists, but also production experts. Now, the entire county of Shangqiu County, twenty-two people’s communes have established such an art college. This is really a bold undertaking by peasant brothers at the height of the cultural revolution. The day I visited the Xinhua People’s Commune, it was the cultural and educational cadres who convened the Commune of People’s Commune in Shang County in this society
