LeadershipInsights | Xi's Voices: The people are the source of inspiration for literary and artistic creations.

文學藝術創造、哲學社會科學研究首先要搞清楚為誰創作、為誰立言的問題，

In producing literary and artistic works and conducting research in philosophy and social sciences, we must know who we are creating and speaking for. 

這是一個根本問題。

This is a fundamental issue. 

人民是創作的源頭活水，只有紮根人民，創作才能獲得取之不盡、用之不竭的源泉。

The people are the source of inspiration for literary and artistic creations. Only through a people-centered approach can we draw inexhaustible inspiration.

文化文藝工作者要走進實踐深處，觀照人民生活，表達人民心聲，用心用情用功抒寫人民、描繪人民、歌唱人民。

Our writers and artists should look beyond their own lives and go deeper into the lives of ordinary people to tell stories about them, listen to their voices, and celebrate their merits. 

哲學社會科學工作者要多到實地調查研究，了解百姓生活狀況、把握群眾思想脈搏，著眼群眾需要解疑釋惑、闡明道理，把學問寫進群眾心坎裏。

People working in the philosophy and social science circles should look beyond their ivory tower and conduct extensive field research to see how people live and think, then address their doubts and concerns in a way that echoes their inner world.
