1946年春,我在国统区北平新华分社《解放》报(即解放三日刊)工作时,曾听到美术家蔡若虹同志为我讲述他在延安看歌剧《白毛女》,喜儿是由王昆扮演的事.这是我第一次听到王昆的名字.不久,我到张家口进入华北联合大学文艺学院戏剧系学习,第一次有机会观看由学校文工团演出的歌剧《白毛女》和由王昆扮演的喜儿,这是我到解放区受到的第一次生动形象的阶级教育课,它使我激动了好久好久. In the spring of 1946, when I was working in the Liberation Newspaper (ie, Jiefang Daily) of Xinhua Branch of Peiping in the National Unification Area, I once heard Comrade Cai Ruohong of the artist tell me about his opera “White-Haired Girl” in Yan’an. Xi’er is played by Wang Kun This is the first time I heard Wang Kun’s name and soon I went to Zhangjiakou into the North China United University School of the Arts drama department, for the first time have the opportunity to watch the school art troupe performed the opera “White-Haired Girl” and by Wang Kun played Xi’er, this is my first lively class education lesson to the liberated areas, it made me excited for a long time.
