ABSTRACT

It is Marxism that ushered in a new era for Chinese people to struggle for the future of socialism. Over one and half centuries, under the leadership of Marxism, people's revolution has surged forward, and profound, great historical changes have taken place throughout the world. In the global tortuous socialist movement, great achievements of the socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics have proven to be a glorious paradigm for combining Marxism with revolutionary practice in all countries and become a major concern to people all over the world. The Talks highlighted for whom the literature and art should serve and how to serve. Historically, literature and art mainly served a minority of ruling class and their interests in class society; in the era where people were becoming masters of themselves and the socialist future, however, this problem became fundamental to direction of literature and art.
