邵式平传(Biography of Shao Shiping)

邵式平富有个人特色的光辉一生，从一个侧面折射出我们党的光荣和伟大，展示着中国民主革命和社会主义建设道路的艰难曲折。因此，把他的一生真实地再现出来，献给世人，这是一件很有意义的事情，也是我心中的一桩夙愿。现在，终于如愿以偿了。经过李国强等同志的潜心研究与刻苦写作，终于使《邵式平传》得以问世，这对我这个步入耄耋之年的人来说，无疑是十分欣慰的。同时，也必将受到广大读者的欢迎和喜爱。据我所知，《邵式平传》是迄今研究邵式平的第一本学术专著。国强同志曾经整理出版过邵式平教育文选和诗词选集，近年来又进一步广泛搜集资料，多次与我探讨研究式平的生平。在此基础上，终于又写出了这本数十万字的传记。尽管它在史料运用上，在文字表述上，可能难免有些不妥之处，但是在短短的时间里完成这样一部书稿，是很不容易的，其中凝结着作者多少心血！我谨在此向作者表示衷心的祝贺。《邵式平传》的出版问世，不仅客观真实再现了一个革命家的光辉一生，为党史研究工作提供了一个内容翔实的读本，更主要的是通过对式平这位无产阶级革命家具有典型意义的生平和事业的缅怀和弘扬，教育广大读者，特别是青少年读者，了解中国革命道路的艰难曲折，懂得革命和建设的胜利来之不易，从而在任何艰难困苦的情况下，在当前国际风云变幻中，始终坚定共产主义必定要胜利的信念，坚持四项基本原则，坚持改革开放，沿着有中国特色的社会主义道路走下去，为实现社会主义四个现代化而努力奋斗。（The glorious and unique life of Shao Shiping offers a glimpse of the glory and greatness of CPC, as well as the difficulties and setbacks of Chinese democratic revolution and Socialist construction. Hence it is meaningful to recreate realistically his life to readers, which has also been my long-cherished wish. Now the wish is finally accomplished. Thanks to the hard work of Li Guoqiang and other comrades, the Biography of Shao Shiping is finally finished. As a man of advancing age I find it very gratifying. It will definitely be well received by readers. As far as I know, this biography is the first academic work devoted to studying Shao Shiping. Guoqiang used to compile and publish collections of Shao Shiping’s essays on education, and selections of his poems. In recent years he expanded his scope, collected more materials, and discussed Shao Shiping’s life with me several times, before producing this biography of hundreds of thousand characters. Despite some inevitable errors in citation and language, it is quite an accomplishment to finish the book in such a short span of time. The author must have taken a lot of pains. Let me offer him my sincere congratulations for his endeavors.The publication of this book not only objectively recreates the glorious life of a revolutionary, and provide a source of information for studying the Party’s history, but also explains to readers, especially young readers the arduous journey of Chinese revolution and the need to cherish the victory of revolution and construction through eulogizing and remembering the archetypal life and career of a proletarian revolutionary like Shao Shiping. It is hoped that readers can stay true to Communism in today’s international environment, stick to Four Fundamental Principles and Chinese economic reform, continue building Socialist society with Chinese characteristics, and fight for the four modernizations of Socialism.)
