Writers, artists and theorists from east China’s Jiangsu province have hailed the important speech made by Chinese President Xi Jinping on boosting culture confidence. Xi Jinping on Monday called on writers, artists and theorists to strengthen cultural confidence, serve the people with fine works, and guide the public with high moral standards when joining a joint panel discussion attended by political advisors from the sectors of culture and art, and social sciences.
General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech is of strategic significance by placing high expectations on writers, artists and theorists. The CPPCC members from the sectors of culture and art, and social sciences unanimously agreed that the speech of the General Secretary once again blew the clarion call for the spirit of cultural self-confidence, the power of the great soul and the works, and the strong spiritual encouragement for the party and the people to move forward.

The General Secretary insisted on keeping the literature and art circles in sync with the times, insisting on the people-centered approach, insisting on serving the people with quality products so as to nurture the root and soul of the nation. As a CPPCC member from the literary and art circles, I feel particularly excited.

The General Secretary has made a very comprehensive explanation and requirements for CPPCC members from the sectors of culture and art, and social sciences by addressing issues ranging from the specific work to the grasp of the big direction, and even to the realm of life. It is a better opportunity for me to learn and contemplate. In the future, I will lead my fellow teachers out the ivory tower on the basis of practical work and combing personal ideals with the cause of the country and the people so as not to let down the expectations of the Party Central Committee and live up to the expectations of the General Secretary.

When listening to the speech of the General Secretary, I feel more excited as a literary and art worker. I feel even heavier burden on my shoulders. This year coincides with the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. I want to put the heroes of the era into the stage and perform on the stage.
Xu Liming, CPPCC member and Professor of Nanjing Arts University
General Secretary Xi Jinping’s instruction has strengthened my cultural self-confidence and the purpose of making literary and artistic creation to serve the people. In the future literary and artistic creation, we must firmly establish the people-centered approach to conceive our own artistic creations and practice our own artistic creations.
All practitioners in culture, literature, art, philosophy and social sciences shoulder the important tasks of enlightening thoughts, nurturing sentiments and warming hearts, Xi said, asking them to set an example for society with lofty aspirations, good morals and noble sentiments.
