People in the literary and art circles sent a message on the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China-wishing the great motherland more prosperity.
70 years of hard work, 70 years of change, 70 years of ambition.
Artists bathed in the bright morning sun, embraced the fields of hope, felt the leap of the times, and couldn’t help calling: All days, all days come, let me weave you, weave you with the golden thread of youth and the wreaths of happiness! I want to dedicate the most beautiful songs to you, my mother and my motherland!
With love for the motherland and sincerity to the people, artists not only jump and sing on every branch like birds, but also soar from the sky like eagles. They sing about the great times, the beautiful life and the most beautiful strugglers.
就这样，70年光阴化作一首深情的歌，一支蹁跹的舞，一幅多彩的画，一句动人的诗。岁月如歌，歌也浓缩了岁月。
在举国欢庆的幸福时刻，艺术家们向伟大祖国献上最崇高的敬意和最真诚的祝福！

见证历史 再创美好未来
1949年，我参加了开国大典群众游行。随后，作为中央美术学院一年级学生，我根据开国大典之夜人们在天安门前提灯游行的情景，创作了有生以来第一幅作品《新中国的旗帜升起来了》，这幅作品还获得学校创作竞赛奖。从那时起，在国家培养下，我逐渐成长为一名油画家，融入新中国油画艺术发展进程，参加和组织很多重要活动、重要工作。
新中国成立以来这70年间，因为国家重视、画家进取，油画家队伍迅速壮大，艺术水平大大提高。如今，中国油画已成为新中国美术事业中一支重要力量，广为人民所喜爱，也受到世界各国观众和评论家高度评价和热情赞扬。在庆祝新中国成立70周年之际，我为我们国家在各个领域取得的伟大成就感到自豪，衷心祝愿我们的祖国一天比一天更加繁荣富强！

Concentrate on creating and telling the story of China
This year is my 60th year as an artist. I caught up with the good times, and the cultivation of the party and the country made me grow from an ordinary folk artist’s son to a new China folk art professional actor; It is the audience’s love for storytelling, which makes me feel the unremitting motivation to do this career well. Today, I am full of gratitude, thanks to the party, thanks to the country and thanks to the audience.
Since the founding of New China, China’s Quyi has made great progress. Quyi people have changed from folk artists to new China literary and art workers, and their social status has been greatly improved, becoming an important force in the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, as an old actor who has been an artist for 60 years, I sincerely wish the motherland prosperity and development. As a Quyi actor trained in New China, I want to write more books, speak more books, tell the story of China in the form of storytelling, and do a good job in the promotion and inheritance of Chinese excellent traditional culture; I also want to sum up the experience of storytelling creation and performance, arrange excellent bibliographies for future generations, train storytelling talents, and contribute to the development of Quyi.
(Liu Lanfang, storyteller, former chairman of Chinese Quyi Artists Association)
Create with passion and describe the times.
As an artist, how lucky I am to share the same fate with New China!
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. Personally, it is also the most memorable year in my life: at this time 40 years ago, I started to create the oil painting Father. At that time, the most simple and sincere initial intention was to pay attention to reality, reflect life and describe the largest field of China society — — Rural areas and the largest groups — — Farmers.
As the first batch of art students to study abroad after the resumption of the college entrance examination, I have the honor to witness the historical process of China’s reform and opening up for more than 40 years; I am fortunate to learn from China’s history, culture and tradition, and at the same time learn from the rich resources of global art history in the era of opening up the country and facing the world; Fortunately, while taking root in China’s real life, it is also in line with the era of globalization … … It is this background of the times that has made our generation of literary and art workers so that we can use our creativity and imagination to write footnotes for the times with our own brushes.
It’s the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, and I hope I can make more and better artistic creations to present my motherland!

Start from me and build a beautiful home together.
In the 1990s, I went to Hollywood to film, where no one knew me. They would ask "Who is Jackie Chan", and few of them had seen China movies, let alone understood the development of China. After more than 20 years, great changes have taken place in China. Take China’s films as an example. Now many countries value China’s film market and respect China’s filmmakers, because we are supported by the great China people and the increasingly powerful motherland. Film is the language of the world. Chinese filmmakers are knowledgeable and broad-minded. Through cooperation and strengthening research and development, the future of China films is limitless.
China has a population of nearly 1.4 billion, and it is the best patriotic action for everyone to do their job well. Before Hong Kong’s return to China, I was making films to promote China culture. Now, I am doing all the work in cultural relics protection, environmental protection and poverty alleviation, hoping to play a role. Just like that song: "China is my country, home is my home, I love my country, I love my home!" " I love my country, we should join hands to build a beautiful home!
(Jackie Chan, film and television actor, vice chairman of China Film Association)
The era of singing calls for new miracles.
The establishment of People’s Republic of China (PRC) is one of the most important events in the 20th century. It rewrote the historical process of world development, completely changed the fate of people of all ethnic groups in China since modern times, and made our nation stand in the east of the world after countless hardships and vicissitudes. As a poet who lived and grew up in the embrace of this great country, my works have been marked with distinct Chinese culture since I wrote my first poem. My poems have always been linked with the land, rivers, forests, mountains and endless sky of the motherland. I will always praise and sing the industrious, simple, kind and intelligent people in this land. This great country, composed of 56 nationalities, is creating one great miracle after another in human history. As a poet, I am fortunate to live in such a new era. The vivid practice of the people to create a better new life has provided us with unlimited possibilities for writing new epics. The poet should not only be a witness but also a participant in this glorious cause that the people of China are engaged in. More importantly, he should use his poems to record and praise this era that has created miracles and will continue to create miracles.

更上层楼 迎接新的辉煌
1949年，“解放区的天是明朗的天”处处响起，然后是“五星红旗迎风飘扬”的歌声唱遍神州。10月1日，我敲着腰鼓来到天安门广场，当阅兵开始的时候，我再一次告诉自己，“这是我们的军队，我们的共和国！”
中国共产党是个为人民谋幸福的党，中华人民共和国是个朝阳般求新求发展的大国！70年生聚，70年经验，70年奋战，人民的奋斗创造了历史奇迹。今日之中国，已经是日月新天，日益振兴，中国梦正在变成人民共和国的现实。
新中国70年是人民的70年，也是我的成长、我的坎坷、我的努力、我的50卷1800万字作品的70年。新中国70年，就是我的主题，我的激情，我的歌唱，我的纪念，我的祝愿！
此刻，更让人想起先行者们破壁图强、以血荐国的初心。梁启超先生说：“空言爱国，无救于国，若思救之，必藉人才。”孙中山先生说：“革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力。”鲁迅先生说：“我以我血荐轩辕。”毛泽东同志吟咏的是：“春风杨柳万千条，六亿神州尽舜尧”！
最高领袖总书记指出：“我们要以识才的慧眼、爱才的诚意、用才的胆识、容才的雅量、聚才的良方，广开进贤之路”。
70年成就辉煌，未来更上层楼。聚才进贤是重要保证，也是我对伟大祖国的祝愿。
（王蒙，作家，原文化部部长）
团结实干 成就伟大复兴
每到国庆，心中都会生出一种美好的家国情感。我珍惜和深爱我的祖国，因为我伴随着新中国一起成长，我的命运与新中国历程已经融为一体。我关切着国家，更关切国家的未来。我对未来充满信心。
In the past 70 years, I am proud of the strong vitality and lasting and unique charm of our national culture, proud of the tenacity, diligence, enterprising and endless creativity of our people, and moved by every outstanding new achievement of our country today.
I am over 70 years old and still full of passion for life. I would like to do more work for children’s tomorrow, tell them the essence of traditional culture and encourage them to carry it forward. As an intellectual, I am responsible for the healthy development of society and the progress of civilization, and I will spare no effort to do so. Only by uniting and working hard can we usher in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
(Feng Jicai, writer and painter, Dean of Feng Jicai Institute of Literature and Art, Tianjin University)
Strengthening academics and boosting literary and artistic construction
Systematic research and comments on modern literature began after the founding of New China. Yaoyao’s Draft of China’s New Literature History is the foundation work in this field. After the reform and opening up, we "green peppers" dare to write Thirty Years of Modern Literature in China, which is also driven by the tide of ideological emancipation. I think it is really emotional.
Over the past 70 years, this discipline has always been advancing, linked with the national destiny, and now it has extended to the study of contemporary literature, forming a relatively mature discipline pattern and making outstanding contributions to university literature education and contemporary literature creation. 70 years of wind and rain have cultivated the discipline’s character of "stressing" and "grounding", and it is following the drums of the People’s Republic of China and embarking on a new journey of literary and artistic construction.

锻造文学 提升文明高度
文化是立国之本。
我从童年开始用汉字阅读，青年时代开始用汉语创作，我对“祖国”一词有真切的认同感。汉语是流淌于华夏土地几千年的天然乳汁，我的心灵所需要的所有养分，都是由她一滴一滴、一个字一个字喂养给我。汉语是我的精神文化之母，倚仗她的抚育和教诲，我得以自立成人。我用母语写作，在写作中度过我的大半生。我要把我的母语编成故事、变成人物、化成情感，回报我的读者们——所有读者都是我的兄弟姊妹。
文学和语言的命运也反映国家命运。新中国成立70年来，文学书写与新中国一起，经历曲折发展、不断更新的多个阶段，文学作品语言越来越鲜活、真实、生动，显示着我们文明程度正在不断提高。
（张抗抗，作家，中国作家协会副主席）
稳中求进 继续乘风破浪
新中国迎来70华诞，我们这一代人见证伟大祖国繁荣发展、日新月异。从新中国成立初期艰苦奋斗、筚路蓝缕，到改革开放后开拓创新、蒸蒸日上，中国迈向前进的每一个步伐，都凝聚着中国共产党的智慧与气魄，都饱含着亿万中国人民的勤劳与拼搏。
Under the correct leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, all the people of China rolled up their sleeves and worked hard to overcome difficulties and deepen reforms, so that China, the great ship of the East, could ride the wind and waves and make progress steadily! In order to realize the "Chinese Dream", hundreds of millions of people in China are striving for a new era and welcoming the great rejuvenation! Bless the great motherland for its new glory!
(Gong Hanlin, actor of China Radio Art Troupe)
Sharpen art and promote national integrity
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, as a Peking Opera actor who has been an artist for 47 years, I am filled with emotion. The establishment of New China 70 years ago was a new life for Peking Opera, and Peking Opera also participated in and witnessed the vicissitudes of New China 70 years ago.
Our generation of Peking Opera people grew up in the new China, and walked with the reform and opening up. Our life choices and the road to art are closely related to the national development and reform, and our destiny is shared. The reform and opening up have strengthened our development path of Peking Opera, and the rapid economic and social development has brought us dignity and honor. The policies and measures to carry forward China’s excellent traditional culture have prompted us to continue to inherit and innovate, and the persistence and advocacy of cultural self-confidence have spurred us to push Peking Opera to the world. Looking forward to the future, Peking Opera will certainly play a more important role in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We Peking Opera people will also integrate into the great era and into the historical torrent with excellent works that eulogize patriotism and promote national integrity.
(Yu Kuizhi, actor of China National Peking Opera Theatre)
