从百年前，中国文艺走向今天

今年是“五四”新文化运动100周年。百年前，一代先驱以文学革命为先导，反对文言文，提倡白话文；反对贵族文学、古典文学等旧文学，提倡国民文学、社会文学等新文学，创建了“人的文学”和“平民文学”，从而激发了中国文学艺术在20世纪的第一个狂飙突进的时代，对社会变革产生了重大影响，成为全民族思想解放运动的重要引擎。更为重要的是，“五四”新文化运动的倡导者把争取自由、获得独立人格视为当仁不让的任务；他们呼吁把个人从压抑个性的传统文化的束缚中解放出来，发展人的独立人格和自由意志。

历史没有终结，初心必须牢记——百年之后的2019年，今天的中国已经站在新的历史起点上。我们将迎来新中国成立70周年、澳门回归祖国20周年，中国文联也将迎来创建70周年。在中国特色社会主义新时代，中国的文艺与对外交流必须坚持与时代同行，才能在新时代的广阔天地中迎来群峰耸峙的壮丽前景。

This year marks the 100thanniversary of the "May Fourth" New Culture Movement. A hundred years ago,the first generation of "May Fourth" pioneers,taking the literary revolution as the forerunner,opposed classical Chinese and promoted vernacular Chinese; opposed old literature,such as aristocratic and classical literature,and advocated national literature,social literature and other new literature forms,creating "human literature" and "civilian literature",which has inspired the first era of arrogance and burgeoning of Chinese literature and art in the 20thcentury. It had a major impact on social changes and became an important engine for the national ideological liberation movement. More importantly,the advocates of the "May Fourth" New Culture Movement regarded the struggle for freedom and the independence of individuals as their due tasks; they called for the liberation of individuals from the shackles of traditional culture that suppressed individuality and developed the independent human personality and free will.

The history has not ended,and the initial mission must be borne in mind - in 2019,a hundred years later,China,at present,has standing at a new historical starting point. We shall usher in the 70thanniversary of the founding of New China and the 20thanniversary of the return of Macao to the motherland. It is also the 70thanniversary of the establishment of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics,the nation's literary and artistic exchanges must adhere to the times,which is conducive to reaching the profound prospects in the midst of all the peaks in the vast world of the new era.
