57年前的1942年5月,毛泽东同志发表《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》,这是一篇浓墨重彩的历史华章,为中国的文学艺术史开辟了一个新纪元。这是一段被人们多少次讲述的史实,又是常说常新的史实,将是永久流传的珍贵文献。延安文艺座谈会是在当时的中共中央所在地杨家岭召开的。座谈会召开前后有不少生动的故事,现在采撷三则,以飨读者。 57 years ago, in May 1942, Comrade Mao Tse-tung’s speech “Speech at the Yan’an Forum on Literature and Art” was an excellent example of history, opening up a new era for the history of Chinese literature and art.

The Yan’an Literature and Art Symposium was held at Yangjialing, the seat of the CPC Central Committee at the time. Before and after the symposium there are many vivid stories, and now pick three to readers.
