On this day, 87 years ago, on August 11, 1938 (July 16, 1938, the anti-enemy drama team was established in Wuhan. The Anti-Enemy Troupe performed in front of Jianghan Pass in Wuhan On August 11, 1938, the Anti-Enemy Troupe was established in Wuhan. This is the general name of 10 revolutionary drama groups. The team was based on the Shanghai National Salvation Drama Team and adapted from other progressive drama groups. It was divided into 10 teams of 30 people each. After short-term military training, they went to various war zones to carry out anti-Japanese propaganda activities. It is directly under the command of the Third Department of the Political Department of the Kuomintang Military Commission. The anti-enemy theater troupe adhered to the principles of "popularizing literature and art" and "targeting the vast number of anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians" and used forms such as theater performances, singing, written and oral propaganda to cooperate with the anti-Japanese democratic movement in the Kuomintang ruled areas. This month, the Third Hall of the Political Department organized these 10 anti-enemy drama teams, a children's troupe, and a film screening team to tour various parts of the country to carry out anti-Japanese literary and artistic propaganda. At the time of departure, the Third Hall stipulated five creeds for art workers: First, art workers of our generation have formed this iron cultural team with the purpose of resisting Japan and founding the country, so that they can improve their political and military understanding and training anytime and anywhere; Strive for the realization of this great goal, and we must not relax for a moment. 2. We should know the quality of technology, which directly affects the effectiveness of publicity. Therefore, we should try our best to hone our own skills from work, so that our artistic level can be improved more and more continuously than the Anti-Japanese War. 3. In art, authors of our generation not only approach the public with words, words or other images, but also teach them directly with their own bodies; the artistic style and the personality of the artist are inseparable, especially in the Anti-Japanese War Art Movement. Every worker is required to be a national fighter who is hardworking, resolute and courageous; perseverance can last, and courage can lead to success. 4. Relying on the full efforts of art workers and targeting the vast number of anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, the popularization of art has become an urgent issue. Only by being fully loyal to the public's understanding and taste, especially its sufferings and demands, can art truly become a weapon to arouse and organize the public. 5. We art workers should know that coordination is the key to achieving combat goals, and the same goes for artistic work. Not only should there be coordination within an art group, but all arms of the art front should also be concentrated on one important point so that they can exert unlimited strength and achieve great results.
