The people are both the creators and witnesses of history, both the characters in the historical drama and the playwrights of history. Socialist literature and art, in essence, are the literature and art of the people.

年月日，习近平总书记主持召开文艺工作座谈会并发表重要讲话。总书记鲜明提出坚持以人民为中心的创作导向，语重心长地指出了文艺创作应有的价值底色：以人民为中心，就是要把满足人民精神文化需求作为文艺和文艺工作的出发点和落脚点，把人民作为文艺表现的主体，把人民作为文艺审美的鉴赏家和评判者，把为人民服务作为文艺工作者的天职。能不能搞出优秀作品，最根本的决定于是否能为人民抒写、为人民抒情、为人民抒怀。

文章归于人心，立言达乎民情。年来，广大文艺工作者牢记习近平总书记教诲嘱托，始终坚持人民至上，围绕党和国家重大活动，围绕决战脱贫攻坚、决胜全面建成小康社会等重大主题，围绕抗击新冠疫情等重大风险挑战，围绕实现人民对美好生活的向往，倾情投入、用心创作，把艺术写在了人民的心坎上。

“乌兰牧骑的长盛不衰表明，人民需要艺术，艺术也需要人民。”年月日，习近平总书记给苏尼特右旗乌兰牧骑队员们回信，勉励他们永远做草原上的“红色文艺轻骑兵”。总书记的回信精神极大鼓舞了全国文艺界，乌兰牧骑这面文艺界的旗帜在祖国大地高高飘扬。

In accordance with the clear instructions of the General Secretary, the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles strives to play a leading role in industry construction, organizing and guiding a wide range of literary and art workers to actively participate in cultural volunteer service projects such as "Culture into Every Home," "To the People," and "Bring Joy to the Grassroots," thereby conveying the Party's voice and warmth.

In the month of the year, the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles' "Diving Deep into Life, Rooting in the People" music and dance artists' field trip and creative achievements report performance was held in Lhasa and Shigatse. The participating artists, overcoming the effects of high altitude, performed passionately, their dedication deeply moving.

In the spring, facing the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Photography Team of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles embarked on a journey against the tide, working in high-risk areas such as hospitals to "create portraits of angels," capturing precious images of over 40,000 medical personnel who supported Hubei. The literary and artistic community produced outstanding works such as the song "Believe in the Power of Love," the song "Great Love for All Living Beings," the opera "Angel's Diary," and the films "Chinese Doctors" and "You Are My Spring," effectively playing a unique role in gathering hearts, warming the people, and strengthening confidence.

Practice has repeatedly proven that only by understanding the people's aspirations can sincere emotions naturally flow with the people's thoughts and expectations; only by experiencing the people's warmth and cold can the pulse of art resonate closely with the people's hearts, becoming rich and full. In the new era and new journey, literary and artistic workers must not only join hands with the people, heart to heart, dancing and singing around the bonfire of a happy and beautiful life; but also share the same breath and destiny with the people, following the footsteps of the people in creating history with a pure love, dedicating their wholehearted efforts to the stage built by the people, so that the fragrance of literary and artistic flowers will forever bloom among the people.
