Today, we are inseparable from the spiritual power inspired by culture to carry out great struggles, build great projects, advance great causes, and realize great dreams. In order to inherit and develop our own culture, we must first maintain a high degree of confidence in our own cultural ideals and cultural values, and maintain a high degree of confidence in our own cultural vitality and creativity.

It is the law of literature and art to prosper due to the times, to change with the times, to move with the times, and to resonate with the times at the same frequency. Leaving the fiery social practice, standing alone and murmuring outside the grand theme of the times, can only be eliminated by the times.

Xi Jinping asked the majority of literary and art workers to take the cultivation and promotion of socialist core values ​​as the fundamental task, and unswervingly use the unique Chinese thoughts, emotions and aesthetics to create outstanding works that belong to this era and have a distinctive Chinese style.

Only such works can reflect the voice of the times, show the struggle of the people, inspire the national spirit, cultivate noble sentiments, show a brighter future for our people, and paint a brighter future for our nation.
