在写作话剧《平津决战》时,我们四个人曾立下宏愿,要使剧本从反映的历史生活出发,而又比当时的实际生活更高、更强烈,让人物更典型、更理想。我们力求描写战争的真实,争取历史真实和艺术真实相结合,不仅介绍战争的历史,还能将党和军队的优良传统、作风形象地展现出来,以便在今天发扬光大。为此,我们作了一些努力,主要有下述三点。 At the time of the drama “Pingjin Decisive Battle”, the four of us had set an ambition to make the script set out from the historical life it reflected, which was higher and stronger than the actual life of that time and made the characters more typical and more desirable. We strive to describe the reality of war and strive for a combination of historical truth and artistic truth. We not only introduce the history of the war, but also display the fine traditions and work style of the party and the army so as to flourish today. To this end, we have made some efforts, mainly in the following three points.
