举办这次电视节对全国儿童电视工作者来说,早就盼着这一天了。早在1985年,我们就有了这个动议。随着改革开放,国际电视文化交流比过去大大加强了。但这毕竟是一小部份。应该有更多的国家、电视台参加我们的屏幕,应该举办一次国际性电视的交流,这个动议得到了领导和社会各方面的关注和支持,受到了各兄弟台同志们的热烈欢迎。这次展播准备了将近一年的时间。从1988年11月开始,我们向各国驻华使馆、电视节目制作公司等单位发出了邀请,得到了他们热情地支持和帮助。很多驻华使馆的大使、文化参赞亲自过问这件事,和国内联系、催促节目等。有的使馆请我们去挑选节目;有的使馆选了节目还亲自送来;不少国家把参加国际电视节 It has long been a day for this TV festival to be held for national children’s television workers. As early as 1985, we have this motion. With the reform and opening up, international television and cultural exchanges have greatly intensified over the past. But after all, it is a small part. There should be more countries and television stations participating in our screens. We should hold an international television exchange. This motion has received the attention and support of leaders and all sectors of the society and has been warmly welcomed by the comrades of all fraternal units. The show was prepared for nearly a year’s time. Since November 1988, we have sent invitations to embassies, TV program production companies and other units in various countries and received their enthusiastic support and assistance. Many Ambassadors and cultural counselors in China embassy personally asked about this issue, and domestic contacts, urging programs. Some embassies invited us to select programs; some embassies selected programs also personally sent; many countries to participate in the International Television Festival
