ABSTRACT
According to Marxism, the people are the makers of history. In humanity's long history, literature and art were, to great extent, forestalled by the ruling class, and the people's right of enjoyment of literature and art was deprived because of the existence of the exploiting and oppressing class. Literature and art should serve the masses and better reflect their life and struggle, heartfelt wishes, wills, emotions, and ideals, uptake the spiritual nutrition and acquire the lofty affection and healthy aesthetic ideal and interest from them. Literature and art are the superstructural ideology of the economic foundation. They are distinguished from social ideologies, such as politics, jurisprudence, morality, religion, philosophy, etc., though they are an aesthetic ideology. "Turning inward" has become a trend in the creation of literature and art in recent years. For writers and artists, they must be close to the life of the people and act as the spokesmen who are understood by many great writers in history.
