一新中国成立的时候,26岁的常香玉就已经是名扬海内外的豫剧艺术家了,但她对组织上说:“像我这样唱戏的,解放前被人叫做‘戏子’,几次被逼得没法活、要自杀,受尽了百般欺辱。只有在解放后,地位才变了,成了光荣的文艺工作者,有了做人和艺术家的尊严。自己工作稍微有了一点儿成绩,党和人民就给了很高的荣誉。”不久,她向党组织递交了入党申请书。1951年,抗美援朝战争进入第二年,常香玉创办的“香玉剧社”正在陕西西安演出。当她得知美军飞机在鸭绿江边轰炸时,立即坐不住了,她对党组织说,要用自己的义演收入购买一架战斗机,捐献给志愿军。 When a new China was founded, the 26-year-old Chang Chih-yu was already a famous opera artist both at home and abroad. However, she said to the organization: “Singing like me, before liberation was called” opera “ Times were forced to live without law, to commit suicide, subjected to all sorts of bullying .Every and only after the liberation, the status has changed, has become a glorious literary and art workers, with life and artist dignity. Achievements, the party and the people gave a high honor. ”“ She soon submitted to the party organization to join the party application. In 1951, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea came into the second year. Chang Hong-yu’s ”Jade Jade Club" was being performed in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province. When she learned that the U.S. planes were bombing on the Yalu River, she could not sit still. She told the party organizations that she would purchase a fighter plane from her righteous performance and donate it to volunteers.
