2013年6月30日,温州公布首批文化志愿服务“双十佳”奖励名单,温州市与瑞安市两支“文化志愿服务总队”和瑞安市舞蹈家协会副主席林海靖等名列志愿服务队与志愿者榜首。他们多年来活跃基层,无偿奉献,洒播着文化春雨,提高浙南的文化发展指数和人民幸福感,获得城乡百姓一片喝彩声!

瑞安是浙南海滨的民营经济强市,这几年在“文化强国”的感召下,市委宣传部、市文联牵头组建起市文化志愿服务总队,下辖的15个支队100多个中队的千余名文化志愿队员走基层、下农村、送文化,让成千上万的社区居民、农村村民、企业职工获取健康快乐,满足精神需求。飞云江两岸,早晨一片欢声笑语,晚间到处灯火通明……

一切为着“文化惠民”

2009年春,市文化局副局长李刃调任市文联主席。他才四十出头,富热情,有干劲。瑞安市委、市政府作出建设文化强市的决策,李刃率领文联班子一头扎进去。

从那时起,文联领导以身作则,抓调研,交文友,听心声,鼓干劲。往日寂静的文联办公楼一天比一天热闹,茶话会、谈心会、研讨会、意见征询会,一个接一个。双休日文联办公室更是人声鼎沸,笑声多,争论声当然也多,有脸红脖子粗的:“湖岭、高楼山区几年听不到锣鼓响了,你们知道吗?”“生活改善的农村经商户、副业户闲着没事干,不打扑克就搓麻将;女的磕头烧香,求神拜佛。他们没戏看,没词听!”“文艺经费投入太少了,我们下乡谁出路费?谁给钱添戏装?”……

他们一句句认真听着,一条条记着。老文艺家拍桌子发火了,李刃笑着、写着,解释着心里话:“你们提得好!生活逐渐富裕了,乡亲们渴求精神生活了,文艺家有用武之地了,我们应该组织起来,齐心合力,抓住根本:文化惠民!锤炼自身!”

从那时起,至今整整四年,他们利用双休日和夜晚,坚持参加文化志愿者活动。笔者兼任市报告文学学会会长,为组织会员创作,为开展报告文学作品集《古城新韵》《追寻》《闪光的轨迹》等出版后的公益赠书,十几次协商与活动,都安排在双休日,也都有几个文联领导轮流参加;笔者参加过的几十次会议与活动,李刃大多数热心出席。

在市委宣传部的大力支持下,市文联关于成立文化志愿总队的建议得到各界、各协(学)会的热烈响应。成立大会那一天,连年近古稀的作者也喜欣欣穿上背部印着“瑞安市文化志愿队”的T恤衫。男男女女,老壮青少,瑞安广场或白或黄的方阵一片亮一片!

至2011年9月,市文联依托市直属文化系统单位及各文艺、体育专业协(学)会,设立了音乐、舞蹈、曲艺、美术、书法、摄影、文学等专业志愿支队。另据五镇十街的不同特色与群众需求,增设太极拳、腰鼓、广场舞、健身舞、健身气功等21个专业中队,同时支持、收编“心连心”“湖滨”“星光”“大榕树”“博爱”“百乐”等18个志愿艺术团(歌舞团,越、京、瓯、木偶剧团及曲艺团)。

市文联有近3000平方米楼房,这成了文化志愿者施展才艺、服务群众的良好平台。舞蹈排练厅、音乐室、书画创作室、摄影活动室、报告厅、名家工作室等,全部免费向文化志愿者和爱好者开放,供大家无偿使用。有爱心的文艺家群起仿效,也无偿广收门徒,开办各种免费培训班,辅导班,提高班,甚至赠送教材、文具,免费供给茶水。市文联几成了慈善文化的殿堂!

至2012年春夏,全市注册文化志愿者约1560人,培训学员5200多人,五镇十街参与文化活动的超过3万人,各种文艺门类扎根开花。市文联志愿“种文化”,种出全市浓郁的文化氛围和文艺理念。回乡的华侨们都说“瑞安变了,歌声响了,色彩多了,一年一个样!”

齐赞“志愿教师好”

在这几年的文化志愿活动中,最吃香的是文联总队办的各种免费培训班,绘画、书法、摄影、音乐、舞蹈……期期爆满。负责场地安排调度的蔡成华与鲍永远几乎一年忙到头。作者问兼着市美协主席的蔡成华这位“义工头”,最近有否创作?他脚不稍停地回半句:“哪有时间创作!”一边赶着接电话:“小鲍,小鲍!503室少一套桌椅,605室没开水了!”

采访文联秘书长鲍永远,他笑着:“培训班这么红火,连做梦也想不到。像书法、美术,场内30张桌椅,每期只能招30人。迟报的,只能等半年。有些人心急,找人说情,求面子。这没用啊,先到先学么。但是,这也从一个侧面反映出生活日渐富足的市民对精神文化的需求一天比一天强烈!”

在摄影活动室,作者随意问两个人情况。男的大块头,叫宋德进,52岁了。他把经营业务交给儿子打理,自己喜欢旅游与登山。他过去也随便拍过傻瓜机,玩的,不懂技巧和美感。听说文联有免费摄影培训班,他迟了一步,去年报的第二期。女的叫章云,提早退休的女工。去年2月,她听社区通知说文化志愿队举办免费摄影班,凭着一股热情报名了。她过去没摆弄过照相机,所以半年普及班没拉一节课,每堂课都认真听,详细记,反复练。第一次拍,老师评价;第二次拍,老师指导;第三次拍,老师表扬……第二期,她又报名提高班,摄影作品居然进了市影展,并巡回全市城乡三个多月,高兴得让全家扶老携幼十几口都来参观。

有一次,教摄影的陈向阳老师带来两件摄影作品,简要又真诚地讲述摄影的“有题与无题”。章云听了,久久不能平静。她感叹:“那堂课,我彻底被感动了。人,可以让人生延续有题的精彩。自己退休了,继续学习,老有所学,老有所为,就是有题;饱食终日,牢骚满腹,就是无题!”她对作者说:“我感谢摄影培训班,感谢陈向阳老师志愿教学,让我懂得人生更深的意义!”

提及陈向阳老师,宋德进也是十分感激:“陈老师真好,细心、真诚,让我们学会摄影,还学会做人,培养了奉献精神!”

出生马屿农村的陈向阳老师从小就喜欢美术与摄影,曾以一帧《满园春色关不住》获省摄影银奖,以一幅《温州个体户》获全国青年摄影大赛铜奖,声名鹊起。2010年春,她无偿开办公益摄影班,2011年入市文联志愿总队,连续三年无偿授课,学生个个喝彩。

陈向阳老师开照相馆谋生。有亲友不解,问她忙在志愿公益,图个啥?她说:做人、工作,图个快乐,图个幸福指数。我教摄影,学员们左一声“老师”右一声“老师”,甜甜的,我收获了快乐。学生作品展出了、发表了,都说是“陈向阳教的学生”,我听了像喝了蜜糖!何况,学员们也热心帮我干过事,互相么。这种互帮互学风气高涨了,摄影队伍扩大了,瑞安摄影名震全省,文化志愿者传播才艺、理念以及培育精神沃土的功能实现了……

一个叫万年青的学员插嘴:“我们摄影班好,五楼的绘画培训班也出色。有些人等半年都进不去,搬凳子坐走廊旁听。有个叫李青嫩的马屿镇年轻干部,为着学美术,圆上儿时梦,竟辞去工作,放弃公务员编制,天天泡在绘画班,技艺猛进……”

宋德进转身抱来一捆大红荣誉证书,不无得意地向我们指点:我们摄影光最近获奖的,温州市一级十二人,省一级七人,全国一级三人。鲍田的刘锋等两人评上“温州十佳摄影家”。塘下镇农民摄影队在今春第三届全国农民摄影大展上,获取一金三铜八优秀。获金奖的是钱作平,拍的叫《忙碌的清晨》,是他1月15日摸黑赶到平阳拍的。不容易,不容易!”

舞亮礁石山乡

瑞安文化志愿队活动,最热火朝天的当属音乐、舞蹈两个支队。尤其是城乡广场舞、健身舞的普及,城郊,乡下,江边、塘河两岸,或早上,或晚间,都是一堆一堆的几百人在起舞。其中带头领舞的、喊口令的,都是文化志愿者。

张美凤是位48岁的礁石农村妇女,身体不好,天天吃药。经人介绍,她2009年开始跟文化站的林海靖老师学习健身舞。舞蹈带给张美凤的,是身体渐渐好转,性格也变得开朗乐观。学舞蹈获得的幸福与自信,让她心中涌上一个强烈的念头:将市文联和林海靖老师做文化公益事业的精神,发扬开来,在家乡礁石把所有的中老年人发动组织起来,开办健身舞场!

说起礁石舞场,张美凤有点激动。如今生活好了,人们盼望健康长寿。所以礁石的中老年人对健身事业很热心。张美凤在乡村干部支持下带头捐款,再发动筹款。大家你三百、我五百地凑,五千、一万、两万,一个月筹到20多万元,购置了健身器材、服装与音响等。场地太小,他们在附近小山坪铲出一个大场地,用几个月的汗水换得场地平整美观,换得生活、健身、娱乐的齐全。

礁石乡间健身舞场在2012年秋间开办。张美凤成了锦湖街道文化志愿队中培养的第一个“农村舞蹈教师”,练舞的发展到335人。笑声乐声一天多一天,那《最炫民族风》的歌曲“什么样的节奏,是最呀最摇摆”,在山乡松林中美妙回荡……

一位患胃癌的老伯,叫阿根,年纪已过古稀了,体质很差,但性格开朗。他那经商又孝顺的儿子找到张美凤,慷慨地捐出10万元支持扩大、改善健身场所,并配置茶水房,要求教他父亲学跳健身舞。如今一年多了,阿根老伯天天坚持到舞场锻炼。有时候提早到场,看到张美凤都笑着打招呼:“张老师,来了啊!”叫得张美凤几乎感动掉泪。这里,不仅仅教学舞蹈,实际是交汇人性、交融爱心。

类似张美凤的,瑞安多得是,有东山的宋华珠,她教千人广场舞,还有陈雪梅的快乐排舞基地……

平生教过数以万计学生的舞蹈老师陈美娥、林海靖告诉作者:如果有偿教学,收一点钱,好像会富起来,实际是金钱关系,造成精神的贫血;只有志愿服务,是奉献精神的弘扬,是人间的大爱,真正富有了整个城乡。我们看着早晚有成千上万人在瑞安各处翩翩起舞,那么齐整、纯真、欢快,自己快乐得飘飘欲仙,真比前几年去杭州、北京拿奖还高兴!志愿,实际是美德的践行,是精神的升华!

还是李刃说得准确:通过文化志愿活动,实现文化惠民,受惠者充实、快乐,找到了健康与自信,对生活、对社会主义就充满信心与感恩;而志愿者自己,不但从中取得收获与幸福,还成长成才,提升了境界,实现了价值,创作了作品!

2012年7月2日,《浙江日报》以半版篇幅刊出瑞安市文联文化志愿者队伍建设盛况,给志愿者以很大鼓舞。九九重阳节,瑞安摄影志愿者跑了7个乡28个村,深入偏僻山乡为贫困的农家免费拍摄了760帧全家福……

今春以来,瑞安文化志愿队送文化等各类活动,已惠及5万多人,传递了社会文化正能量。瑞安市文联去年获得省文化活动“组联奖”,上送的创作作品,发表、展出、获奖的越来越多,譬如志愿合唱团,去年荣获了第十一届中国国际合唱节铜奖。

瑞安文化志愿者活动,叶茂花繁果儿甜。

Volunteer Programs Create Cultural Buzz in Ruian

By Zhang Yi, Li Feiqin

Rui'an is a coastal city in southern Zhejiang, reputed for its dynamic private economy. The city of economic prosperity now boasts a cultural phenomenon: quite a few ‘cultural volunteers' have organized themselves into troupes and teams and visit local communities in vast countryside to entertain rural population and factory workers in Ruian. Their performances enrich local cultural life.

The cultural prosperity took shape in 2009 when Li Ren swore in as the chairman of the city's Federation of Literature and Art. A passionate and highly motivated man just turned 40, he was determined to bring the cultural undertakings of the city to a new level.

Li and his colleagues decided to take stock of the local cultural landscape.

They did field researches, seminars and brainstorming. And they heard a lot of complaints about the lack of cultural activities open to people in the hilly areas of Rui'an and they heard a lot of complaints about the shortage of funds for cultural programs.

Li and his colleagues decided to do something about the shortage of cultural programs across Ruian. They set up an organization and enlisted cultural volunteers to hold programs ans shows across Ruian.

There are groups of various professionals and specialists at the city level. Specialized in music, dance, fine arts, calligraphy, literature and photography, they hold regular events across Ruian. At the town level across the city, there are twenty-one teams that regularly hold various cultural programs and events that attract local residents. And eighteen local troupes have joined the volunteers. They coordinate their schedules with other volunteer teams and cater to diversified needs and demographical requirements.

Li and his colleagues hard work has proved rewarding. The number of registered cultural volunteers had topped 1,560 in the first half of 2012 and more than 5,000 signed up to receive appropriate training . At the town level, at least 30,000 residents took part in cultural programs at regular intervals. These programs cover a wide range. Ruian boasts a large number of overseas Chinese. They come back regularly for home visit and many have noticed the great change taking place in the city's colorful cultural life.

“People's passion turned out unexpectedly fierce. Many people have to wait for half a year for their turn to join the training classes, due to space limit,” says Bao Yongyuan, general secretary of the federation, “People are crazy about calligraphy, painting and photography.”

“I have learned much more than I expected from my teacher Chen Xiangyang, not only about how to take good pictures but also about the importance of becoming a better person than I was and what dedication means,”recalled Song Dejin. The photography classes supervised by Chen Xiangyang has turned the 52-year-old Song from a rookie into an award-winning photographer.

Dancing has not only restored the health of Zhang Meifeng, a 48-year-old housewife, but also brought self-confidence and enormous happiness into her life. Music and dancing has become an indispensable part of the life of many housewives like her in Rui'an. Zhang became one of the first dance teachers trained by the Jinhu volunteers for the opening of the village's 'dancing arena' in the fall of 2012. A fund-raising campaign led by her harvested about 200,000 yuan.

Zhang Meifeng is not alone. In Dongshan, thousands of people are taking dancing lessons from Song Huazhu and Chen Xuemei.

“Professionally, I could have used my skills to make money; but I prefer the volunteer work and I feel good about such devotion,” said Chen Mei'e, “What I am doing is making thousands of people happier and healthier, which feels a lot more beautiful than going to big cities to get awards and certificates.”

The volunteering spirit of Rui'an was featured in the July 2 issue of Zhejiang Daily in 2012. Motivated by such media recognition, photography volunteers organized a trip to 28 villages in Rui'an and took 760 pictures for the most impoverished families that year.

Volunteers and various cultural programs in 2013 in Rui'an have already benefited at least 50,000 people.
