阿尔巴尼亚杂志的征文比赛psj41823

68年文化大革命复课闹革命后,军宣队、工宣队先后进驻学校。以后,清理教师队伍、清查“516分子”等等一系列政治运动不断,每天除了上课外,下午3、4点钟开始政治学习,直到晚上7、8点,有时还要拖到10点钟才能回家。生活单调而乏味,政治气氛却紧张而沉闷,不是今天整这个,就是明天批那个,要么就是莫名其妙、含沙射影地乱批一通,叫你人人自危,谨小慎微,循规蹈矩,不敢“越雷池一步”。

那个年代,精神文化生活是一片空白。古今中外的名著,不论是文学的、历史的、抑或哲学的,等等,不是禁书,就是大毒草。排在禁书之列的,就算是被打入了冷宫,市面上是见不到的,图书馆有也不能借;能列为“毒草”的书,倒有些“福”了,原本可能是一本不起眼的书,没人要看,成了反面教材,却引起了大家一睹为快的心理,无形中作了些义务的宣传。再者,偷看禁书,犯禁,是要受批评的;反之,以“毒草”为反面教材,阅读起来是冠冕堂皇的,不必要遮遮掩掩。当然,最主要的著作还是人手一册的毛主[xi]语录。

业余时间,除了有时翻翻学校订阅的英文版北京周报外,也看看当时被视为亚得里亚海滨的一盏社会主义明灯的阿尔巴尼亚的英文杂志。70年9月,一次偶然的机会,看到了一页“新阿尔巴尼亚”画报举办征文比赛的副页,由该画报编辑部向全世界的读者提出一组16个问题(中文版的是15个问题,不知何故?),要求参赛者书面回答,作为比赛。问题的答案,大体在1969和1970出版的画报中可以找到;并且设有四个奖项:其中,一等奖一名,阿尔巴尼亚访问15天,费用编辑部承担;二等奖二名,阿尔巴尼亚访问15天,但旅费自理;三等奖二名,一床阿尔巴尼亚地毯和其他工艺品;四等奖五名,免费赠送“新阿尔巴尼亚”画报一年。作为英语习作的练习,我先找了一下有关的资料,看看大致不差,也就做“文抄公”,参加了一次抄文比赛。洋洋数千字,而且居然也得了个二等奖;但仅仅榜上有名,并无下文。

说实话,我从未把此等游戏当回事,但总不应是件坏事!已是三十多年前的事了,想想都觉得很可笑(当然是一种苦涩的笑);要是现在,则简直是不可思议的事了。现在不会再发生的事,过去曾有过!做个纪念,特将二份信函附上,也算是一个过去日子的脚印吧!

1,letter to “new albania” magazine for taking part in the competition :

dear comrades,

i am a chinese reader to the “new albania” magazine. while writing to you, i seem to chat with some bosom friends from afar. i am overwhelmed by the pure feelings and love cherished by chinese people for the valiant albanian people.

it is true that though we are separated by mountains and oceans, yet our hearts are linked each other. by perusing “new albania” and relevant books about albania, i have been acquainted with your state and valiant people, whose glorious images as militant defenders of your fatherland and builders of socialism, have left a deep and profound impression on me and served for me a shining samples. relying on your own strength, rife in one hand and pick in another, you have marched toward socialism and communism and won great victories. till nov.8,1971, albania will complete the electrification of all its villages. seeing the great achievements scored by your 

people during the past twenty-six years, i am brimming with joy and pride of an intimate friend. but i am sure that the prospects forecasted by the five-years plan will be still brighter. your great leader comrade enver hoxha says well:“ the prospects are clear, the future of our people and of our homeland is bright. today we are already seeing the contours of our happier future taking shape in vivid colours.” 

i love albania and its people. i love the party of labour of albania and its great leader comrade enver hoxha. the fraternal and militant friendship between our people forged by our two heroic parties and by our two great leaders, comrade mao tse-dong and comrade enver hoxha, is unbreakable and everlasting.

finally, let me with a few words conclude the letter: i don’t care in the least whether i can win the championship of the competition, but still i can’t help writing and collecting the references and materials about albania ……

sincerely yours,

comrade peng shi-jun

2, letter to “new albania”magazine for winning the second prize :

dear comrade,

it goes without saying it is a great honour to have one’s name listed among the winners of the competition.

this morning, when i had a glimpse over the chinese edition of the magazine “new albania”, to my great surprise, i was listed among the winners of the second prize. from the bottom of my heart, i know i had nothing to recommend myself, yet i feel flattered and happy, and take it as telling expression of the crystallization of friendship between our great peoples of the two countries. now please allow me avail myself this opportunity to express my thanks to the people of albania for the honour granted me.

i love albania and its valiant people. i love the party of labour of albania and its great leader comrade enver hoxha.

chairman mao teaches us : “the albanian people have waged valiant struggle against imperialism headed by america, modern revisionism with the soviet revisionlist ruling clique as its center and the reactionaries of all countries, and made outstanding contribution to the revolutionary cause of the people the world over. today socialist albania has become a strong bulwark in supporting the proletariant and revolutionary people of the world in their struggle for liberation.”

now i have been immersed in happiness. my imagination has brought me to the state of eagle, who stands as an impregnable fortress and a beacon-light of socialism in the adriatic coast. there the heroic albanian people, by adding scientific knowledge to their revolutionary impulse under the guidance of the party of labour of albania, are breasting ahead in defiance of difficulties and obstacles……

i expect the day will come when……

sincerely yours

comrade peng shi-jun
