我们深信中苏两国人民与妇女的亲密友谊将日益巩固与发展,并祝您身体健康! 蔡畅 给朝鲜民主妇女同盟的贺电|亲爱的朴正爱夫人: 值此“三八”国际妇女节,中国妇女谨向您以及为反抗美国帝国主义的侵略,为祖国的独立与自由而英勇作战的朝鲜人民军中的女战士们和支援前线的全体朝鲜姊妹们致最热烈的祝贺与敬意。 祝中朝两国人民更加紧密团结,百倍努力,为争取战胜我们共同的死敌——美国侵略者的最后胜利而奋斗。 蔡畅 给越南妇女联合会的贺电|亲爱的黎氏钏夫人: 值此“三八”国际妇女节,我和全中国妇女一道,向您和亲爱的越南姊妹们致热烈的祝贺。 在胡志明主席英明领导下,越南人民和妇女已经取得反帝斗争的重大胜利。我们深信越南姊妹们将以更大的努力,为争取越南民族解放,为保卫亚洲与世界和平而坚决奋斗,预祝你们获得更大的胜利。 蔡畅 给日本民主妇女协议会的贺电|日本民主妇女协议会全体会员们: “三八”国际妇女节快要来到了,我们中国妇女特向你们致热烈的友谊祝贺与敬意。 第二次世界大战以后,你们在美国占领当局长期控制下,过着空前未有悲惨的日子。美帝国主义者剥夺了你们的自由和独立,剥夺了你们的基本人权;工人们受着残酷的剥削,领着不足以维持生活的低微工资,农民们被强征和苛税压得喘不过气来,而妇女们处境的更加困难是人所共知的事。 六年来,美帝国主义对日本人民的进攻日益变本加厉,所谓《旧金山和约》、《美日安全条约》的签订,使日本加速地走上了殖民地和战争的道路,使日本人民陷入更加悲惨的境地。 中国人民和妇女曾经长期受过帝国主义的蹂躏与迫害,因此对于苦难中的日本人民,特别是日本的妇女与儿童,抱着无限深切的同情。日本人民已经发展起来的蓬勃的民族民主解放运动,受到了中国人民和全世界爱好和平与民主的人们的强有力的同情与支援。你们在全国人民团结和努力,全世界爱好和平人民的支援下,必能打败美帝国主义的阴谋与统治,取得最后胜利。 为了不使自己的丈夫、儿子给美帝国主义作炮灰,为了你们可以过着温饱的生活,我们相信日本的妇女和母亲一定会更积极地和丈夫、儿子一起为祖国独立与解放的伟大斗争而努力。 祝斗争中的日本妇女的队伍日益壮大,祝你们争取日本的独立、自由、和平、民主的斗争获得成功。 中华全国民主妇女联合会 给印度妇女的贺电|全印妇女大会转|印度全体姊妹们:欣逢“三八”国际妇女节,我们中国妇女谨向亲爱的印度姊妹们致热烈的友谊祝贺。 中印两大民族不但边境接壤而且有着深厚悠久的友谊,我们都具有悠久的灿烂的民族文化,也都曾长期受过帝国主义和封建势力的残酷剥削与奴役。因此我们两国人民都是酷爱和平,反对侵略。今后我们两国人民与妇女的友谊与文化联系将更加发展与巩固。 在“三八”国际妇女节检阅我们妇女的队伍与力量时,我们兴奋地看到在保卫和平、保卫妇女与儿童权益的共同目标下,各不同民族、不同肤色、不同政治与宗教信仰的爱好和平的妇女与母亲已经团结起来。我们的队伍空前壮大了,成为全世界日益高涨的和平运动的一支巨大力量。 我们希望在未来的一年中,我们两国妇女的友谊日益发展,我们将紧密团结起来,为保卫亚洲与世界和平而共同奋斗。 衷心祝你们健康。此致热烈的敬礼 蔡畅 给德国民主妇女联合会的贺电|亲爱的施密特夫人: 谨向您和全体德国姊妹们热烈祝贺“三八”国际妇女节。 祝德国妇女在反对重新武装西德,建立统一的德意志共和国的斗争中获得新的胜利,祝中德两国妇女的友谊与团结日益巩固与发展。 蔡畅 给缅甸妇女解放协会的贺电|亲爱的朋友们: 值此一九五二年的“三八”国际妇女节,我们中国妇女以无比兴奋的心情向你们祝贺。 缅甸的姊妹们,为争取缅甸的自由独立,保护缅甸妇女的权利,都有了一定的成就。 全世界的妇女们团结起来的力量是无比强大的!亲爱的朋友们,让我们更紧密地团结起来,为争取亚洲和平,世界和平事业更大的胜利而加倍努力。

National Democratic Women's Federation telegrams women's organisations of various countries, celebrating 8 March, International Women's Day
[People's Daily 1952-03-06, page 4]
Telegram of congratulation to the Women's International Democratic Federation
Dear Mrs. Gordon [戈登夫人]: On this "March 8th" International Women's Day, Chinese women respectfully extend to you and to sisters all over the world our warmest congratulations and respects. Under the banner of the Women's International Democratic Federation [WIDF], the ranks of the world's women and mothers have grown daily, and the struggle to defend peace and to defend the rights of women and children has achieved remarkable results. Women throughout China pledge to strive for the friendship and unity of the world's women, for the elimination of wars of aggression, and for lasting peace! Cai Chang
Telegram of congratulation to the Anti-Fascist Committee of Soviet Women
Dear Mrs. Popova: Warm congratulations to you and all Soviet sisters on "March 8th" International Women's Day. The spirit with which the Soviet people and women actively build a communist society and resolutely defend world peace greatly inspires us! We Chinese women, together with the whole people, are striving to build our great motherland, to resist America and aid Korea, and to defend world peace. We firmly believe that the close friendship between the peoples and women of China and the Soviet Union will grow ever firmer and develop, and we wish you good health! Cai Chang
Telegram of congratulation to the Democratic Women's Union of Korea
Dear Mrs. Pak Chong-ae [朴正爱]: On this "March 8th" International Women's Day, Chinese women respectfully extend our warmest congratulations and respects to you, to the women fighters in the Korean People's Army who are fighting heroically against the aggression of American imperialism for the independence and freedom of their motherland, and to all Korean sisters supporting the front. We wish the peoples of China and Korea even closer unity and a hundredfold effort in striving for the final victory over our common mortal enemy, the American aggressors. Cai Chang
Telegram of congratulation to the Vietnamese Women's Union
Dear Mrs. Le Thi Xuyen [黎氏钏]: On this "March 8th" International Women's Day, I, together with all the women of China, extend warm congratulations to you and our dear Vietnamese sisters. Under the wise leadership of President Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese people and women have won great victories in the anti-imperialist struggle. We firmly believe that our Vietnamese sisters will strive with still greater effort for the national liberation of Vietnam and for the defence of Asian and world peace, and we wish you even greater victories. Cai Chang
Telegram of congratulation to the Japanese Democratic Women's Council
To all members of the Japanese Democratic Women's Council: "March 8th" International Women's Day is approaching, and we Chinese women extend to you our warm friendly congratulations and respects. Since the Second World War you have lived, under the long control of the American occupation authorities, through days of unprecedented misery. The American imperialists have deprived you of your freedom and independence and of your basic human rights; workers suffer cruel exploitation and receive low wages insufficient to live on, peasants are crushed by forced levies and heavy taxes, and the even more difficult situation of women is well known. For six years American imperialism's attacks on the Japanese people have grown ever more intense; the signing of the so-called "San Francisco Peace Treaty" and the "US-Japan Security Treaty" has hastened Japan along the road of colonisation and war and plunged the Japanese people into an even more miserable situation. The Chinese people and women long suffered the ravages and persecution of imperialism, and therefore hold boundless and deep sympathy for the suffering Japanese people, especially Japanese women and children. The vigorous national and democratic liberation movement the Japanese people have developed has received the strong sympathy and support of the Chinese people and of peace- and democracy-loving people all over the world. With the unity and efforts of your whole people and the support of the world's peace-loving peoples, you will surely defeat the plots and rule of American imperialism and win final victory. So that your husbands and sons do not become cannon fodder for American imperialism, and so that you can live with enough to eat and wear, we believe that Japanese women and mothers will surely work even more actively, together with their husbands and sons, in the great struggle for the independence and liberation of the motherland. We wish the ranks of Japanese women in struggle to grow daily, and wish success to your struggle for Japan's independence, freedom, peace and democracy. All-China Democratic Women's Federation
Telegram of congratulation to Indian women
(To be forwarded via the All India Women's Conference) To all our Indian sisters: Happily meeting on "March 8th" International Women's Day, we Chinese women respectfully extend warm friendly congratulations to our dear Indian sisters. The two great nations of China and India not only share a border but have a deep and long-standing friendship; we both possess long and brilliant national cultures, and both suffered long from cruel exploitation and enslavement by imperialism and feudal forces. Therefore the peoples of our two countries both dearly love peace and oppose aggression. In future the friendship and cultural ties between the peoples and women of our two countries will develop and consolidate further. In reviewing the ranks and strength of our women on March 8th International Women's Day, we see with excitement that, under the common goals of defending peace and defending the rights of women and children, peace-loving women and mothers of different nationalities, skin colours and political and religious beliefs have united. Our ranks have grown as never before and have become a mighty force in the world's ever-rising peace movement. We hope that in the coming year the friendship between the women of our two countries will develop daily, and that we shall unite closely to struggle together for the defence of Asian and world peace. We sincerely wish you good health. With warm salutations, Cai Chang

Cai Chang

Cai Chang
Telegram of congratulation to the Indonesian Gerwis [印尼觉醒妇女会, Gerwis]
Dear friends: We Chinese women congratulate you with unbounded excitement on "March 8th" International Women's Day. Indonesian sisters showed a courageous spirit in the revolutionary struggle for Indonesia's independence and liberation, and you have also contributed to the cause of defending Asian peace and world peace; we extend our warm respects to you.
