"Literature and art should give the most enthusiastic praise to the great process of the people's creation of history, and give the most affectionate praise to all the fighters who struggled for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and all the heroes who sacrificed and dedicated themselves to the people." In his important speech at the opening ceremony of the Eleventh National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Tenth National Congress of the China Writers Association, General Secretary Xi Jinping hoped that the vast number of literary and art workers would adhere to the people's position and write an endless people's epic.
The people are the creators of history and the creators of the times. Originating from the people, serving the people, and belonging to the people is the fundamental stand of socialist literature and art, and it is also the driving force for the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art. Over the past one hundred years, the party has led the literary and artistic front to continuously explore and practice, and has embarked on a path of literary and artistic development guided by Marxism, conforming to China's national conditions and cultural traditions, and exalting the people's nature, which has pointed out the direction of progress for the prosperity and development of China's literature and art. Under the leadership of the party, the vast number of literary and art workers have persisted in keeping pace with the times, breathing with the people, sharing a common destiny, and connecting hearts and minds, holding high the torch of the national spirit, sounding the clarion call of the times, unswervingly plunging themselves into the cause of revolution, construction, and reform, using rich literary and artistic forms to encourage the toiling masses who are exploited and oppressed to fight with blood and perseverance, encouraging the Chinese people who have stood up to become self-reliant and angry and strong, encouraging hundreds of millions of people in the tide of reform and opening up to emancipate their minds and forge ahead, and encouraging the Chinese people in the new era to be confident and self-reliant. Shouzheng innovation has played an important role in enhancing the people's strength and invigorating the national spirit.
Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the vast number of literary and art workers have walked with one heart and one mind with the party and the same direction with the people, centered on the center and served the overall situation, sincerely listened to the sonorous footsteps of the development of the times, vividly praised the fiery practice of reform and innovation, and made positive contributions and achieved fruitful results in literary and artistic creation, literary and artistic activities, and literary and artistic benefits for the people.
The new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics is an era in which Chinese people create a bright future in new tests and challenges, and it is also an era in which Chinese people work hard to create a better life. In the magnificent struggle of the people, the fiery chapter of creating history is jumping everywhere, and it is gathered together to be an epic poem of the people. The people are the mother of literature and art. The growth of literature and art is inseparable from the nourishment of the people, and the people have an inexhaustible source of abundance for all literature and art.
The vast number of literary and art workers must keep up with the pace of the times, feel the pulse of art from the pulse of the times, open up artistic creation to the great struggle of hundreds of millions of people, open up to rich and colorful social life, extract themes and extract themes from the changes of the times, the advance of China, and the call of the people, show the beauty of Chinese history, the beauty of mountains and rivers, and the beauty of culture, express the aspirations of the Chinese people to struggle, the power of creation, and the fruits of development, and display the spiritual atmosphere of the new era in an all-round panorama.
Life is the people, and the people are life. The people are real, realistic, and simple, and we cannot use fictitious images to make up the people, we cannot ridicule the people with a ridiculous attitude, and still less can we use ugly brushstrokes to vilify the people. Only by going deep among the masses of the people, understanding the people's hard work, and perceiving the people's joys and sorrows can the vast number of literary and art workers gain insight into the essence of life, grasp the pulse of the times, comprehend the people's voices, and make literary and artistic creations have profound strength and eternal charm. The broad masses of literary and art workers must not only let the people become the protagonists of their works, but also integrate their ideological tendencies and feelings with the people, sink their hearts, feelings, and thoughts into the people, feel the pulse of the times and the brilliance of life together with the people, and sing songs for the times and the people.
Literature and art win with images, and classic literary and artistic images will become an important symbol of the literature and art of an era. All literary and art workers with pursuit and ability should improve their ability to read life, constantly discover more new phenomena and new characters representing the spirit of the times, create art that originates from life and is higher than life, and create more attractive, infectious, and touching artistic images with the aesthetic style of combining realism and romanticism, leaving unforgettable art classics for the times.
Only by moving upward and good can literature and art become the clarion call of the times. Only by stopping at the highest goodness can we attain perfection. The broad masses of literary and art workers should carry forward the fine tradition of Pursuing Upward goodness in Chinese literature and art, vividly and vividly embody the core socialist values in literary and artistic creation, express things that have bones, morals, and temperatures, advocate healthy cultural trends, abandon deformed aesthetic tendencies, and nourish the people's aesthetic values with profound thinking, fresh, simple, and strong and powerful works, so that the people will be more full of spiritual life.
The broad masses of literary and art workers must profoundly grasp the theme of the times of national rejuvenation, closely integrate the pursuit of life and artistic life with the future of the country, the destiny of the nation, and the aspirations of the people, use literature to promote their careers, cultivate their lives with literature, establish their hearts with literature, and cast their souls with literature, and write the creation of literature and art into the history of national rejuvenation and in the journey of the people's struggle. The vast number of literary and art workers should adhere to the people-centered creative orientation, put the people in the highest position in their hearts, regard the people's satisfaction or dissatisfaction as the highest standard for testing art, create more outstanding works that meet the people's cultural needs and enhance the people's spiritual strength, and let the hundred gardens of literature and art bloom for the people forever.
