铁凝指出，党的十八大以来，党中央确立了“两个一百年”的奋斗目标，提出要实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦，开启了中华民族伟大复兴的新征程。目前，我们比历史上任何时期都更接近中华民族伟大复兴的目标，比历史上任何时期都更有信心、更有能力实现这个目标。而实现中华民族的伟大复兴，离不开文化的繁荣昌盛。因为没有先进文化的积极引领，没有人民精神世界的极大丰富，没有民族精神力量的不断增强，一个国家、一个民族不可能屹立于世界民族之林。我们要深刻认识文艺事业和文联工作在实现中华民族伟大复兴中的重要作用，进一步增强推动文艺繁荣发展的责任意识和使命担当。我们坚信，广大文艺工作者一定不会辜负党中央的亲切关怀和高度信任，不会辜负时代的召唤和人民的期待，一定会更加辛勤地耕耘，更加潜心地创作，更加倾情地奉献，争做讲品位、重艺德，深受人民喜爱的文艺工作者，把更多优秀文艺作品奉献给人民，奉献给时代。

代表们审议工作报告 Delegates Discussed the Work Report

指导文艺事业繁荣发展的新纲领

在文代会上，习总书记的重要讲话在各文艺领域代表中引起热烈反响和强烈共鸣。中国文联第九届主席孙家正说，习近平总书记的讲话十分重要，是指导文艺发展的纲领和方针。总书记的讲话十分动情，我们听得都很动心，这次讲话和2014年习近平总书记在文艺工作座谈会上的重要讲话是以习近平同志为核心的党中央关于文化建设的两个姊妹篇。一是关于文化自信的问题十分重要，文化自信是一种更深刻的自信，是道路自信、理论自信、制度自信的基础。在马克思主义普遍真理与中国实际相结合，实现马克思主义中国化过程中，中国文化起了很大的作用。文化自信源于中华民族悠久历史中形成的优良文化传统，也源于党领导下的革命文化传统，更源于中国特色社会主义文化建设的实践。中华民族苦难和辉煌的历程中，离不开中国文化的支撑。二是我们文艺界如何来回应总书记的号召。作家、艺术家一定要深入生活、扎根人民，用创造性的劳动，创作出更多优秀的文艺作品奉献给人民。

中国文联党组书记、副主席赵实在上海代表团参加分组讨论，并与代表们交流了学习习近平总书记重要讲话的心得体会。赵实说，习近平总书记的重要讲话激荡人心、感人肺腑、内涵深刻、立意高远，讲话娓娓道来、洋洋洒洒，讲得亲切、质朴、透彻，特别接地气，同时又蕴含着许多新理念、新思想、新论断。讲话站在民族复兴的战略高度、站在党和人民的坚实立场、站在中华文化的丰厚沃土、站在时代发展的历史潮头，深刻论述了中国文艺的重要地位、作用及在各个历史时期作出的重要贡献，充分肯定了党的十八大以来文艺工作取得的崭新成就、文艺工作者作出的重要贡献，明确指出了当代中国文艺发展的使命、责任、方向、目标，很好地回答了一系列重大的理论和现实问题，是中国特色社会主义文艺又一重大理论创新成果，是指导和激励广大文艺工作者在市场经济新形势、新环境做好文艺工作、文联工作的根本遵循和行动指南，也是一篇闪耀着马克思主义真理光芒、蕴含着中华优秀传统文化的纲领性文献。

“在这个伟大的时代，怎么样做一个名副其实的文艺工作者？习近平总书记的讲话给我上了一堂大课，听得我热血沸腾，可以说句句条条说到了我心里。讲话为我们指明了方向，给了我们自信和力量。我们要怎么做，什么是好的，什么是不好的，讲话阐发得很具体。”分组学习讨论会议现场，李雪健代表兴奋而深情地说。他表示，自己作为一个演员，就是要拿作品说话，没有好作品，说一万句也没用。“我会好好学习系列讲话，好好做人，好好做事。”

莫言代表说，强烈地感受到习近平总书记对文艺的观点是建立在对中国文学、艺术、历史非常熟悉的基础之上，是建立在中外文艺作品非常广泛的阅读和博览的基础之上，所以他对文艺创作的特殊性、文艺创作的规律非常了解，说的都是内行话、真情话，让我们听了以后，许多地方感觉心领神会，许多地方想拍案叫绝，许多地方想跃跃欲试，确实很多话讲得情真意切，入情入理，有很大的说服力，有很强的感染力，我们回去后会好好学习。

贾平凹代表说，习近平总书记的讲话既站在时代的高度，为当前我国的文艺事业指出了方向，提出了要求，又同时深入到文艺规律的内部，深入到文艺创作者的创作中，显得庄严又亲和，能入耳入心。怎样对自己、对民族、对国家命运有深刻把握，怎样反映人民的生产生活、真情实意以及他们的心愿心情心声，怎样使作品接住地气、增加底气、灌注生气，怎么样力戒浮躁创作出传之久远的精品力作，这都是需要我们今后认真学习、思考、实践的。

“过度的商业炒作只能让一部作品获得短暂的光辉，但评判作品价值的终极标准，依旧是品质的高下与价值观的高低。”黄建新代表这样说。他表示，习近平总书记的重要讲话具有极强的理论性，深刻讲述了创作者与生活、与历史的关系，以及创作者肩负的责任。博纳影业邀请他担任电影《智取威虎山》监制的时候，他发现很多人都在质疑这部影片的前景。然而影片拍摄出来之后，在市场上获得将近9亿元票房，这的确出乎很多人意料。通过《智取威虎山》黄建新发现，英雄情怀其实深藏于每个民族的性格之中，这也成为之后他们拍摄《湄公河行动》的动因。可喜的是，《湄公河行动》的票房更上一层楼，进一步证实了市场并不排斥主旋律电影。最近投拍的《建军大业》，同样也是表现年轻的英雄们为了理想而奋斗的故事。美国主流电影永远在创造自己的国家英雄，宣扬自己的英雄主义，中国的主流电影也应如此。“我们有责任创作更多传播正向价值观的优秀作品，我们要相信我们的观众、相信我们的人民，相信他们的判断力与鉴赏力。”黄建新说。

佟丽娅代表表示，作为一个80后，同时作为一名演员，她特别希望担负更大的责任，参演更多严肃的影视作品，向年轻的观众传达正确的历史观和高尚的英雄观，因为他们这代人其实也有自己的英雄主义情怀。她在主旋律电影《智取威虎山》里饰演“小白鸽”，得到了好评。《智取威虎山》这样的电影能够获得成功，证明承载着满满正能量的影视作品，完全能够征服今天的观众。

From November 30 till December 3, the 10thNational Congress of CFLAC and the 9thNational Congress of CWA took place grand style in Beijing. Delegates of literary and art circles of all localities and nationalities gathered to listen to the keynote speech, discuss the work report, meet old friends and make new acquaintances, and give suggestions on literary and art development. Both “evergreens” and “newcomers” among them passed on their own experience on literary and art development to each other and brainstormed for a better future . In this crucial period in the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and at this time when people of all nationalities strive for two centennial goals as well as the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation as the Chinese Dream, a new brilliant chapter of socialist literary and art cause will be opened.

Promote New Literary and Art Development with New Mission on Shoulders

On December 1, the 2ndplenary meeting of the 10thNational Congress of CFLAC was launched. Sun Jiazheng, the 9thpresident of CFLAC and the standing president of the Presidium of the 10thNational Congress attended the meeting and Zhao Shi, vice president of CFLAC and secretary general of the Presidium of the 10thNational Congress of CFLAC, on behalf of the 9thNational Committee of CFLAC, delivered a work report titled Promote New Literary and Art Development with New Mission of Time on Shoulders, Contribute to the Realization of in the Chinese Dream Great Rejuvenation of Chinese Nation.

As Zhao Shi stressed in the report, President Xi Jinping’s speech at the opening ceremony of the National Congress of CFLAC and CWA, stands at historical height of national renewal and time progress, fully recognizes the outstanding achievement we have made since the 9thNational Congress of CFLAC, especially since the 18thNational Congress of CPC, thinks highly of the important contribution from mass literary and art workers, clearly guides the correct development direction for Chinese literary and art cause in the new circumstance, illustrates in-depth a series of new thinking, conclusions and requirements for prosperity in literary and art creation, and puts forward sincere expectations for mass literary and art workers as well as explicit requirements for CFLAC and CWA’s future work. From a commanding height, this keynote speech conveys profound thinking and encourages more endeavors. In the truth radiance of Marxism and in-depth connotation of Chinese culture from beginning to end, this speech is another significant innovation in literary and art theory of the socialism with Chinese characteristics as well as the guideline for CFLAC to fulfill its own mission in literary and art work for quite a long period from today on. Mass literary and art workers shall conduct a careful learning and thorough comprehension so as to carry it out in the actual work.

Zhao Shi’s report was divided into three parts, that is, “With Courage for Innovation and Determination for Advancement, Steadfast Steps along the Path of the Socialist Literary and Art Development with Chinese Characteristic”, “Response to the calls of the Times and Self-confidence in Culture, Endeavor to Fulfill Lofty Mission of Chinese Literature and Arts” and “Further Reform on CFLAC in all Respects, Better Service for National Strategy, the People and Literary and Art Workers, Promoting Prosperous Development of Socialist Literature and Arts”.

As the report says, in the past five years, especially since the 18th National Congress of CPC, the Party Central Committee under the core leadership of President Xi Jinping, have promulgated a series of significant policies to promote constant innovation in literary and art theory and practice, which has managed to open up a new outlook of literary and art prosperity in China. President Xi Jinping presided over the Forum of Literature and Arts and delivered a guideline talk. The Party Central Committee issued a series of documents concerning the long-term literary and art development such as Opinions on Prosperous Development of Socialist Literature and Arts. Both acts have greatly stimulated the mass literary and art workers’ passion for creation invitiated and total change of spiritual outlook in literary and art circles. Artists of varied ages, with a lofty sense of mission, have gone deep into the public and become fully devoted to literary and artistic creation. We can find that quality of literary and art works steadily enhanced with continual occurrence of masterpieces, more powerful literary and art critics, abundant and colorful literary and art forms, stronger motivation for innovation and unprecedentedly vigorous consumption in culture by the general public. With apparent upgrade in the international influence of Chinese literature and arts, China’s literary and art cause has leaped onto a higher level of development.

As the report says, in the past five years, thanks to the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and helpful guidance of Publicity Department of CPC Central Committee, CFLAC has deliberately conducted systematic learning of the spirits of President Xi Jinping’s talk, and promoted mass literary and art workers to strengthen self-confidence in path choice, theory, system and culture. By extensively hosting literary and art events of key themes, CFLAC has made a crucial contribution to promoting Chinese spirits, cohering Chinese power and disseminating Chinese values. During the literary and art creation under the theme of “Chinese Spirits and Chinese Dream” , carefully organized by CFLAC, a great batch of excellent works full of motivation, morality and warmth have come to the fore. Along with the literary and art practice under the theme of “GoDeep into life and Find Root among the People” as well as voluntary service, a fashion of “devoted service for the people” has become the mainstream among literary and art workers. CFLAC has taken the initiative to deepen reforms on literary and art awards and promote innovated critics. The public credibility and leadership of literary and art awards and critics have witnessed an increasing edification. By strengthening vocational ethics development and improving professional styles in literary and art circles, CFLAC has managed a considerable expansion of literary and art talents with obvious elevation in their overall qualities. By promoting art exchange with foreign countries as well as counterparts in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, CFLAC has highlighted the charm of Chinese literature and arts in the world arena. In an active exploration concerning CFLAC’s new position, function and working mechanism, CFLAC has attained new heights in task fulfillment.

Tie Ning, Zhao Shi, Li Yi and Zuo Zhongyi conferred certificates of honor to Sun Jiazheng and all the honorary members present at the closing ceremony .They presented letters of gratitude to those vice presidents and senior leaders at ministerial level who are not recommended as honorary members. All the delegates as their homage, made an enthusiastic applause for those senior artists and art workers of great virtue and reputation. Tie Ning delivered the closing speech. As she put, President Xi Jinping’s keynote speech at the 10thNational Congress of CFLAC has fully recognized the outstanding achievement made in literary and art works, including CFLAC’s part, ever since the 9thNational Congress of CFLAC, especially since the 18thNational Congress of CPC, thought highly of the significant contribution of literature and arts to the social progress and development, and put forward sincere expectations for mass literary and art workers. All the delegates were greatly encouraged and inspired, fully aware of their glorious mission and crucial responsibility. As agreed unanimously, President Xi Jinping’s keynote speech is abundant in connotation, profound in thinking, inspiring for further advancement. In the light of the Party’s and nation’s over all cause at the historical height of national rejuvenation and in clear position of the Party and the people, this speech has deeply expounded the key position and unique functions of literature and arts in the current historical process, and further highlighted the correct direction of literary and art development, which will definitely exert an important and lasting influence upon uniting mass literary and art workers to devote themselves to the socialist literary and art cause, encouraging Chinese people to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and upon cohering formidable power to realize the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation as the “Chinese Dream”.

As Tie Ning pointed out, since the 18thNational Congress of CPC, the Central Committee of CPC has set up two “centennial”objectives as well as the “Chinese Dream” to realize the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation, both of which have started a new journey for all the Chinese people. Today, compared to any other periods in history, Chinese people are for closer to the objective of great revival and the most confident with most self-confidence to realize this objective. On the way to the great rejuvenation, of Chinese nation, cultural prosperity is indispensible. Without the active guidance of an advanced culture, extreme abundance of the people’s spiritual world or increasing enhancement of national spiritual power, it is impossible for any country or nation to stand with full dignity in this world. We shall deeply understand the key role of literary and art cause and CFLAC’s function in the future rejuvenation of Chinese nation and further strengthen sense of responsibility and mission to promote literary and art prosperity. We firmly believe that mass literary and art workers will never let down the Party’s solicitude and trust, the call of the times or the people’s expectation. They shall work harder for creation and devotion, try to become literary and art workers with high aesthetics, pure virtue and the people’s favor, and dedicate more excellent literary and art works to the people and the time.

New Guideline for Prosperity of Literary and Art Cause

During the 10thNational Congress of CFLAC, President Xi Jinping’s keynote speech has aroused warm feedback and strong resonance among the delegates of all literature and arts fields. As Sun Jiazheng, president of CFLAC, said, this speech is as important as a guideline and policy for literary and art development. During the live course of this speech, President Xi Jinping was very earnest while we all listened attentively. Together with President Xi Jinping’s speech at the Literary and Art Work Forum in 2014, those two speeches are considered to be the companion volume of cultural development advocated by the Central Committee of CPC with President Xi Jinping. First of all, the issue of cultural self-confidence is very important. Cultural self-confidence is a more profound kind of self-confidence and the basis for the selfconfidence of path choice, theory and system. In the process of the combination of Marxist universal truth with Chinese facts as well as the Chinese transformation of Marxism, Chinese culture has played a significant role. Cultural self-confidence comes from the excellent cultural tradition formed in the time-honored history of Chinese nation, from the revolutionary cultural tradition in the Party’s leadership, and the practice of socialist cultural development with Chinese characteristics. Chinese culture functions as the backbone support in the experience of hardship and splendor of Chinese nation. Secondly, we shall ponder over how to respond to the President’s call. Writers and artists must have their own root deep into the life and into the people, and with their creativity, dedicate more excellent literary and art works to the people.

Zhao Shi, party secretary and vice president of CFLAC, joined the group discussion of Shanghai Delegation and shared her personal gains in study of President Xi Jinping’s keynote speech. As she put, President Xi Jinping’s keynote speech, with profound connotation and great foresight, is quite encouraging and touching. Despite its volumes of words, this speech is full of succinet simplicity, penetrating insight and interesting wits, involving many new concepts, ideas and conclusions. From the strategic height of national rejuvenation, in the firm position of the Party and the people, based upon the solid base of Chinese culture and the tide of times, this speech expounds deeply the important status, role and contributions of Chinese literature and arts in various historical periods. With a complete recognition of the new achievement of literary and art work since the 18thNational Congress of CPC and outstanding contribution made by literary and art workers, this speech clearly points out the mission, responsibility, direction and objectives of the current development of Chinese literature and arts. Providing answers to a series of significant questions in theory and in practice, it has proved to be another key achievement of the socialist literature and arts with Chinese characteristics of theoretic innovation, the basic action guideline for leading and encouraging mass literary and art workers to fulfill literary and art works in the framework of CFLAC in the new situation and environment of market economy, and a programmatic documentation in the radiance of Marxist theory and excellent traditional Chinese culture.

“How can one become a real literary and art worker in this great period of time? President Xi Jinping’s keynote speech gave me a good lesson and I agree with every word of his was agreed with extreme excitement in my heart. His speech has showed us the right direction adding up our self-confidence and strength. As to what we shall strive for and what is good or bad, this speech provided a detailed elaboration.” Li Xuejian said in affection at the group discussion. As he expressed, a good actor is based upon his works, and without any recognized works, ten thousand words of praises mean nothing at all. “I will make a careful study of this series of speeches so as to become a good person and actor.” Li concluded.

As Mo Yan commented from his strong personal impression, President Xi Jinping presented his viewpoints concerning literature and arts on the basis of his expertise of Chinese literature, arts and history as well as his extensive reading and research of literary and art works both at home and abroad. With sufficient knowledge of the special feature and general principle of literary and art creation, he spoke of much experienced truth with penetrating insight, which was totally correct for us to give applause, easy for us to comprehend,and quite encouraging for us to make a try. In genuine affection and simple truth, his speech is of great persuasion and influence, and worthy of our learning.

As Jia Pingwa put, on the one hand, at the height of the times, President Xi Jinping’s keynote speech guided the direction and put forward requirement of China’s literary and art cause; on the other hand, from the perspective of the principles for literary and art creation, his speech was serious for mind and pleasant for ears. How to achieve a profound comprehension about one’s connection with the destiny of his or her nation and motherland, how to reflect the people’s life, work, feelings and expectations in literary and art works, how to make our works more popular in every household and how to abstain from hasty attitude and mould excellent masterpieces… all these questions await us to think about, to learn and to put into practice in the future.

“Excessive commercial sensation may give an instant of dazzle, but the ultimate criterion to judge the value of a works still lies in the quality and the values.” Huang Jianxin uttered. As he could see, President Xi Jinping’s speech of higher theoretical guidance tells deeply about the artists’ relationship with life and history as well as their responsibility. When he was invited by Bonas Film to supervise the film Taking of Tiger Mountain, he found thatmany people suspected its marketing potential. However, this film finally harvested a box office of nearly nine hundred million RMB, which was indeed far beyond expectation. From this fact, Huang Jianxin realized that as a matter of fact, the complex of heroism is hidden in the characters of every nation. This finding later became the main motivation to shoot the film Operation Mekong. To their delight, a better box office further proved that the film of Mainstream Theme is never excluded in film market. The underway film Founding of an Army is still a story of a group of young heroes who struggled for their ideal. As American mainstream films are making eternal efforts to create heroes of their own country and to publicize their heroism, the mainstream films in China can do it better. “We have a responsibility to create more excellent works to promote the positive values, and we need to trust our audience and our people who have full capability for judgment and appreciation.” Huang Jianxin said.

Tong Liya told us that as an actress born in the 1980s, she particularly expects to shoulder a bigger responsibility of playing roles in more serious films and TV productions so as to convey the correct view of history as well as lofty view of heroes to those young audiences. As a matter of fact, this young generation have their own admirations for heroes as well. Her acting as a nurse with a nickname of “White Pigeon” in the film Taking of Tiger Mountain gained a high recognition. The success of this film of Mainstream Theme proves that those films and TV productions full of positive energy can totally conquer today’s audiences as well.
