[From Introduction] 铁路老战士协会办了一个离休老同志们创作的书、画、 摄影展览，而且到全铁路上去巡回，我看是作了件颇为有 益的事。说有益是因为这种活动充实了退离休后的生活， 推而广之，可以使更♦的老同志精神有所寄托，促进身心 健康；说有益是因为这种展览有很广泛的群众性；老同志 通过书画，言情行怀，表达自己"落日心犹壮"，为革命事 业奋斗不患的精神，这极有益于社会主义精神文明建设， 且有强烈的示范作用。我以为值得大家提倡。 这个展览经由北京时，全国政协副主席、我们的老部. 长吕正操同志剪彩。先后经各省、市铁路的局、院、厂二 十一个单位展出，仅铁路职工就有十多万人参观，并且得 到地方领导、，文化部门的重视和支持，不少知名的画家、. 书法家为之题字作画，使展览更为丰富多彩，这也算是普 及和提高相结合，专业和业余相结合。这种做法对于继承 和发展民族书、画艺术的传统是会大有好处的。
