Conversation from [Mao Zedong's] Audience with Brazilian Journalists, Murilo Marroquin de Souza and Mme. [Maria da Graca] Dutra
接见巴西记者穆里罗．马罗金．苏乌萨得杜特夫人的谈话
（一九五八年九月二日）
毛主席：……教育方面，过去的制度也要改变，主要办法是使教育和生产劳动相结合，一面读书，一面做工，你们看过我们这样的学校吗？
马罗金：看过一些，学生很愉快，在实验室就能生产出东西来。毛主席：这是历史性的问题，也是国际性的问题。说是历史性的问题，是因为多少年来教育和劳动都是分离的，说是国际性的问题，是因为哪一国都是这样，学习和劳动相结合起来，学生不仅会得到科学知识，而且有生产技术。
