       早预算新年中必可接到你的信,我们都当作等待什么礼物一般地等着。果然昨天早上收到你来信,而且是多少可喜的消息。孩子!要是我们在会场上,一定会禁不住涕泗横流的。世界上最高的最纯洁的欢乐,莫过于欣赏艺术,更莫过于欣赏自己的孩子的手和心传达出来的艺术!其次,我们也因为你替祖国增光而快乐!更因为你能借音乐而使多少人欢笑而快乐!想到你将来一定有更大的成就,没有止境的进步,为更多的人更广大的群众服务,鼓舞他们的心情,抚慰他们的创痛,我们真是心都要跳出来了!能够把不朽的大师的不朽的作品发扬光大,传布到地球上每一个角落去,真是多神圣,多光荣的使命!孩子,你太幸福了,天待你太厚了。我更高兴的更安慰的是:多少过分的谀词与夸奖,都没有使你丧失自知之明,众人的掌声、拥抱,名流的赞美,都没有减少你对艺术的谦卑!总算我的教育没有白费,你二十年的折磨没有白受!你能坚强(不为胜利冲昏了头脑是坚强的最好的证据),只要你能坚强,我就一辈子放了心!成就的大小、高低,是不在我们掌握之内的,一半靠人力,一半靠天赋,但只要坚强,就不怕失败,不怕挫折,不怕打击——不管是人事上的,生活上的,技术上的,学习上的--打击;从此以后你可以孤军奋斗了。何况事实上有多少良师益友在周围帮助你,扶掖你。还加上古今的名著,时时刻刻给你精神上的养料!孩子,从今以后,你永远不会孤独的了,即使孤独也不怕的了!

       赤子之心这句话,我也一直记住的。赤子便是不知道孤独的。赤子孤独了,会创造一个世界,创造许多心灵的朋友!永远保持赤子之心,到老也不会落伍,永远能够与普天下的赤子之心相接相契相抱!你那位朋友说得不错,艺术表现的动人,一定是从心灵的纯洁来的!不是纯洁到像明镜一般,怎能体会到前人的心灵?怎能打动听众的心灵?
