CCTV and Pop-Stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan

1983年底,党中央发出反精神污染的文件,流行音乐属于精神污染形式之一。然而,在1984年的春节晚会上,中央电视台首次邀请了香港歌星张明敏和台湾歌星奚秀兰登台演唱流行歌曲。中央电视台邀请台港两位流行歌星只不过是一种形式,决定这个形式的是这样一个意志:中国共产党决定在80年代解决台湾回归祖国问题,以完成中国统一大业。正是为了配合这一政治任务,才邀请港台歌手来大陆演唱。他们的表演像示范,产生出一种政策的效力,此后,大陆流行音乐结束了地下活动的历史,大踏步地迈入中国的文化工业的进程。

There were two pop-stars, Zhang Mingming from Hong Kong and Xi Xiulan from Taiwan, invited by CCTV to sing the pop music in the Spring Festival Party in February 1984, and that was the first time for the pop music performance in public in mainland of China. Like a kind of demonstration, their playing pro duced a certain political effect. After that, the pop music finished its history of clandestine activities and stepped into the progress of cultural industry in China. However, the Central Committee of CPC issued the document to against the mental pollution in the end of 1983, and the pop music was just generally referred to the one of the form of mental pollution then. The article explored the historical meaning of the activity to invite pop stars to sing the pop music in public under the background of stopping the progress of the Great Cultural Revolution in 1976, the National Science Congress in 1978, and the 4th Session of Literary and Art Circles National Congress in 1979.
