On November 30, 2016, the 10thNational Congress of CFLAC and the 9thNational Congress of China Writers Association (CWA) was launched in Beijing. On this occasion, President Xi Jingping delivered another keynote speech on literary and art development as a new encouraging bugle call for Chinese literary and art circles. 1550 delegates from 51 delegations of all nationalities and localities gathered in Beijing to listen to and learn President Xi’s keynote speech. They vowed to stride with their motherland and people so as to make endeavors for literary and art peak in the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation.

Xi Jinping, General Secretary of Central Committee of CPC, President of the People’s Republic of China and Chair of Central Military Commission (CMC), attended the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote speech. As he stressed, literature and art share the same destiny and development with their motherland. The mass literary and art workers shall adhere to the people-oriented creation, and serve the people and the socialist cause. In the light of the constant principle “let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend”, they shall persist in creative transformation and innovation development. Like a pioneer holding high the torch of national spirit and blaring a call for time advancement, writers and artists ought to integrate their art ideal into the great cause of the Party and the people. With righteousness and the people’s expectation in mind, social responsibility on shoulder and the whole world at hand, they are expected to present more excellent works reflecting calls of the times as well as the people’s struggle, inspiring national spirits and refining lofty temperament, and to build up a literary and art boom in the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation.

Other members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of CPC, namely Li Keqiang, Zhang Dejiang, Yu Zhengsheng, Liu Yunshan, Wang Qishan and Zhang Gaoli attendedthe opening ceremony as well.

In the passionate applause, President Xi Jinping started his speech. First of all, on behalf of the Central Committee of CPC, he extended warm congratulations on the opening of this national congress and sent sincere regards to all the delegates and mass literary and art workers in China.

As Xi pointed out, the Party has always attached high importance to literature and arts, because for the Party and the people, literature and arts are important cause and battlefront. During the various historical periods of revolution, construction and reform, the mass literary and art workers have actively responded to the Party’s call, adhered to the principle of “serve the people and the socialist cause” and “let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend”and created a great number of excellent works that are popular in every household and deep in everyone’s heart. By promoting the Chinese spirits and cohering the Chinese power, those works have made a significant contribution to national independence, liberation, prosperity and happiness all of which the Party leads the Chinese people to realize. As Xi stressed, since the 18thCPC National Congress, a new outlook and atmosphere have occurred to Chinese literary and art circles. Their literary and art works have highlighted the central theme, strengthened the positive energy, provided abundant spiritual enjoyment for the people and demonstrated the charm of Chinese culture to the world. Our practice proves that mass literary and art workers, in honor of their motherland and people, in response to the calls of the times and in pursuit of art ideal, are a reliable group with wisdom, insight, emotion, responsibility and innovation, to whom the Party and the people would like to express gratitude.

As Xi mentioned, in order to realize the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation, the considerable development in spiritual civilization as well as material civilization is necessary. The Chinese nation has undergone setbacks and nirvana once and again, and managed a continuous development from generation to generation. Without the powerful support of Chinese culture, none of the above would have been possible. The unique concept, wisdom, magnanimity and spirits have added to the pride and self-confidence in the deeps of the heart of Chinese people of all nationalities. It is a great cause that transcends the ancient and outshines the current to realize the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation, which demands the great spirit of perseverance as well as the great literary and art works as motivation.

In his speech, President Xi Jinping put forward four expectations for mass literary and art workers in China.

Firstly, self-confidence in culture must be firm and national spirits must be revitalized through literature and arts. In order to realize the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation, self-confidence in path choice, theory, system and culture of the socialism with Chinese characteristics must be firm. To create excellent works of distinct national feature and individuality, it is necessary to achieve an in-depth understanding as well as high self-confidence about the extensive and profound Chinese culture. Mass literary and art workers should absorb essence and energy from the treasure house of Chinese culture, retain high confidence in their own ideal, value, vitality and creativity of culture so that their works may become spiritual motivation to encourage the Chinese people and nation to advance continuously. Writers and artists shall stride with the tide, undertake the missions, listen to the voice of time and respond to the issues of the times. With fostering and promoting the core socialist values as a fundamental task, they are expected to make steadfast efforts to adopt the unique thinking, emotion and aesthetics of Chinese people to create excellent works that belong to the current period and demonstrate the typical Chinese style. In line with the central theme of patriotism and by means of lively literary language and dazzling artistic images, they should ornament China’s beautiful landscape, depict outstanding elegance and talent of Chinese nation, and stimulate sense of national pride and honor in every Chinese.

Secondly, in the principle of serving the people, writers and artists are expected to sing high praise for the people with their positive literary and art works. As the people are creators of history and sculptors of the times, whom all the excellent literary and art workers obtain their art life from and present all the excellent works for. Mass literary and art workers should adhere to the strong realistic spirit and romantic expressions so as to reflect the people’s life, destiny and feelings, convey the people’s wish, emotion and voice of their heart and create excellent works that enjoy a time-honored popularity among the people. All those literary and art workers of great ambition and pursuit ought to follow the people’s steps,move out of their personal vision into a macroscopic dimension, and take a synchronized heartbeat with the people. Always with the people’s experience and happiness at heart and the people’s various feelings at the tip of their composition, writers and artists should eulogize diligent life and beautiful mind, give a fair judgment over the living materials and promote the positive energy, so as to inspire and enlighten people. Their aim is to help people to enhance their ideological recognition, cultural cultivation, aesthetic level and standard of morality as well as to maintain the active optimistic mentality and enterprising spirit.

Thirdly, with courage for innovative creation, they are expected to advance the innovation and development in culture with their exquisite artistry. Excellent works represent the capability and level of a nation’s innovation and creation in culture. Mass literary and art workers should take the presentation of excellent works as the core to promote a constant innovation in literature and arts, improve the quality of literary and art works, endeavor for masterpieces to serve the people, and dedicate those immortal works for human kind. Chinese people will not only contribute a new mode and path of development to human kind, but also dedicate their fruit of cultural innovative creation to the whole world. So long as writers and artists carry on the innovative spirit throughout their literary and art creation with a bold exploration and determined enthusiasm, their works will definitely become more fascinating and brilliant beyondexpectation.

Fourthly, writers an d artists are expected to hold fast to the art ideal and lead the social fashion with their lofty creation. As an engineer to mold souls and with a responsibility to foster and cultivate human nature in culture, literature and arts ought to enlighten human mind through unique inspiration in thinking and silent artistic edification, and convey the values in favor of goodness and righteousness. As pursuers and disseminators of the true, good and beautiful, mass literary and art workers should uplold the lofty values and refined emotions in their own works, and guide people to emulate the lofty morality. Before building up human soul in literature and arts, those creators must pursue their self-perfection. Mass literary and art workers should take it a lifetime lesson to advocate virtue and artistry as their priority, and endeavor to pursue genuine talents, virtuous deeds and lofty status of appreciation. They should take achievement in both virtue and artistry as their ultimate goal, become the practitioners of advanced culture and the leaders in social fashion, and realize one's the self-value in the process of expounding for the people and their motherland.

As President Xi pointed out,CFLAC and CWA serve as the bond for the Party and central government to connect with mass literary and art workers. shoulder the crucial responsibility of uniting the mass literaly and art workers. In the new circumstance, CFLAC and CWA should deepen their reform, and strengthen their capacity in leadership, connection, implementation and communication so as to mobilize all the power of literary and art front, stimulate the potential of creation among the people and realize the prosperity literary and art cause in China.

As President Xi stressed, the Party Committee of all levels should attach importance to literary and art work, guide and promote the profound reform and development of CFLAC and CWA. Their leadership in literary and art cause must be in accordance with the principle and law of literature and arts, democracy in academics and arts must be fully promoted, and literary and art workers’ active and creative mood must be protected. Sufficient trust
