On the morning of March 28, the "Fifth National Commendation Conference for Young and Middle-Aged Literary and Art Workers" jointly organized by the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles was held at the Beijing Convention Center. The meeting awarded 44 artistic workers the title of "National Young and Middle-Aged Literary and Artistic Workers". Among them, Tian Qinxin, president of the National Drama Theatre, made an online speech at the conference on behalf of the theater industry. In her view, the virtue and art shuangxin represents "the fusion of morality and talent, the unity of character and art", and "the literary and artistic workers in the new era bear the cultural responsibility of telling Chinese stories well and transforming people into spring winds, so they must be the pursuers and disseminators of truth, goodness and beauty." "The award makes me think more while being grateful, and motivates myself to take on more cultural responsibilities in the future," we must be righteous, unite artists, and dedicate more good works to national theaters. ”
All along, whether he is doing dramas or participating in the creation of CCTV's "China in the Story" and "China in the Classics", Tian Qinxin said that he is a person who is "not afraid of hardship, but also willing to work hard". When she created "The Great Journey" last year, even if she accidentally injured her ankle, fractured three times, and surgically implanted a steel plate and 12 steel nails, she still returned to the party site two weeks after the operation and endured the pain to complete the creative task of "The Great Journey". In addition, during the creation of the national opera "Poverty Alleviation Road" from 2018 to 2020, Tian Qinxin went deep into the fields where Huang Wenxiu, the first secretary of Baixiao Village in Baiye County, Baise City, Guangxi Province, once worked, visited the people around her, listened to the villagers tearfully tell her story, and repeatedly studied the "Diary of the Village" she wrote. These real feelings eventually became the strongest spiritual strength and the deepest emotional connotation of her creation of this opera. In her view, the experience of going deep into the grassroots is also the process of integrating her thoughts and emotions with the people and cultivating matilda.
"From the vice president who did the mandarin to the dean, I did not take a single annual leave. After twenty years as a director in a theater, what he advocates is also the simplicity and nobility of his works; as a dean, he now thinks more about what kind of works the mandarin should do and what kind of artists to cultivate. From director to dean, Tian Qinxin said that his creation is the process of from small me to big me, "In the future, I will still take the admiration of virtue and righteousness as a lifelong lesson, with morality as the first and art as the most important." ”
At the end of her speech at the conference, she said: "Those who are not virtuous cannot be far-sighted, and those who are not big cannot be broad-minded", and in the future, they will live up to the honorary title of "Literary and Art Workers of Virtue and Art", bear in mind the "great power of the country", and continue to devote themselves to the construction of a cultural power.
