From October 30 to November 16, 1979, the Fourth Congress of Chinese Literary and Art Workers was held in Beijing, attended by more than 3,000 representatives of the literary and art circles. Chairman Zhou Yang. Deng Xiaoping delivered a congratulatory speech on behalf of the CPC Central Committee.
The vast number of literary and art workers, after experiencing the harsh winter of the Cultural Revolution, finally ushered in the arrival of spring.
They were reunited after a long absence, and they were full of emotions.
During the conference, the photographer recorded the images of these new and old artists and published a special album.
According to the writer Wang Meng's recollection, the most impressive thing about the Fourth Literary Congress was a passage in the congratulatory speech delivered by Comrade Deng Xiaoping on behalf of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on October 30: "The spiritual labor of literature and art greatly requires writers and artists to give play to their personal creative spirit. What to write and how to write can only be explored and gradually solved by writers and artists in artistic practice. In this regard, do not interfere! ”
I remember that when Comrade Xiaoping said " Do not interfere " , he strengthened his tone , and the whole audience erupted into thunderous applause.
