一切有价值、有意义的文艺创作和学术研究，都应该反映现实、观照现实，都应该有利于解决现实问题、回答现实课题。希望大家立足中国现实，植根中国大地，把当代中国发展进步和当代中国人精彩生活表现好展示好，把中国精神、中国价值、中国力量阐释好。
All cultural creations and academic research, to be valuable and meaningful, should reflect and respond to reality, address practical problems, and tackle real issues. I hope that based on China's actual conditions, you can create works that reflect our country's progress and our people's enriched lives, and demonstrate the spirit, values and strength of the Chinese nation.
