Donggang New Look

I often listen to my parents talking about Donggang 30 years ago.

According to the description of the parents, Donggang was a road that was not much asphalted 30 years ago. It was almost all muddy dirt roads. There were few cultural activities in the masses. Apart from singing drums and commenting on the book, there was no other way of entertainment. The seaside town is not high enough.

However, in December 1978, Donggang began to implement reform and opening up. Gradually, Donggang has strengthened in all aspects. The biggest change is the expansion of the literary team and the improvement of the overall quality of the literary team.

Since the reform and opening up, Donggang City has always attached importance to the development of cultural undertakings and increased investment every year.

In 2001, it invested 20 million yuan to build a new 24,000 square meters cultural and art center. It is located next to the Century Plaza in the south of the bridge. The center integrates many cultural facilities such as museums, libraries, cultural centers, art training centers and cultural auditoriums. The facilities are all in the first-class cities of the province. While increasing the construction of urban cultural facilities, the construction of cultural facilities in towns and towns has been strengthened. At present, a total of 16 townships and towns have established high-standard cultural centers, and 8 townships have established theaters.

Looking back on these 30 years of history, the cultural activities of the people in Donggang have always been lively and prosperous, and each period has pushed the spiritual characteristics of the times to the extreme.

In the 1980s of the last century, Donggang, as the hometown of peasant paintings in the country, suddenly attracted the attention of the Chinese people. How can this phenomenon occur in this small town in the northern border? At that time, just after the birth of the family, the fertile land of Donggang suddenly let the farmers solve the problem of food and clothing, so there is a desire to express. As a simple farmer, the brush in his hand is the most direct expression. As a result, overnight, Donggang Town and Village suddenly emerged as many peasant painters like the spring bamboo shoots after the rain. They picked up the brush to express their new life and expressed their harvest to express their joy. In 1985, the county's peasant painting team reached more than 500 people. More than a thousand peasant paintings were created in Switzerland, the United States, Norway, Canada and other countries. The People's Daily and CCTV have turned their attention here and reported to the whole country. Donggang peasant painting phenomenon. During the period, the representative peasant painter Zhang Kun's works were selected for the UNESCO Art Exhibition. Yan Mingmei's works were collected by relevant Japanese people. The young peasant painter Li Dejia has attracted the attention of the world and won many awards in the country. Inside and outside, become an influential painter in the province.

The construction of Donggang cultural infrastructure has been further strengthened. The cultural and cultural activities of the people have been rich and varied, the cultural team has grown steadily, the literary talents have emerged in an endless stream, the cultural market has grown from nothing, and the cultural industry has been in the ascendant. The cultural relics protection work has achieved remarkable results.

Nowadays, Donggang has a variety of cultural activities, and the cultural activities are constantly being refurbished. It is truly a scene of blooming flowers and hundreds of people. After 30 years of great changes, Donggang has developed into a cultural county in Liaoning.

In the future, Donggang will move toward the ranks of national cultural counties, and all cultural undertakings will surely flourish. These achievements can not be separated from the joint efforts of the people of the city!
