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

文学艺术创造、哲学社会科学研究首先要搞清楚为谁创作、为谁立言的问题，

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

这是一个根本问题。

This is a fundamental issue. 

人民是创作的源头活水，只有扎根人民，创作才能获得取之不尽、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.

文化文艺工作者要走进实践深处，观照人民生活，表达人民心声，用心用情用功抒写人民、描绘人民、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. 

哲学社会科学工作者要多到实地调查研究，了解百姓生活状况、把握群众思想脉搏，着眼群众需要解疑释惑、阐明道理，把学问写进群众心坎里。

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.
