This year marks the 100th anniversary of the "May Fourth" New Culture Movement. A hundred years ago, the first generation of "May Fourth" pioneers, taking the literary revolution as the forerunner, opposed classical Chinese and promoted vernacular Chinese; opposed old literature, such as aristocratic and classical literature, and advocated national literature, social literature and other new literature forms, creating "human literature" and "civilian literature", which has inspired the first era of arrogance and burgeoning of Chinese literature and art in the 20thcentury. It had a major impact on social changes and became an important engine for the national ideological liberation movement. More importantly, the advocates of the "May Fourth" New Culture Movement regarded the struggle for freedom and the independence of individuals as their due tasks; they called for the liberation of individuals from the shackles of traditional culture that suppressed individuality and developed the independent human personality and free will.

The history has not ended, and the initial mission must be borne in mind - in 2019, a hundred years later, China, at present, has standing at a new historical starting point. We shall usher in the 70thanniversary of the founding of New China and the 20th anniversary of the return of Macao to the motherland. It is also the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the nation's literary and artistic exchanges must adhere to the times, which is conducive to reaching the profound prospects in the midst of all the peaks in the vast world of the new era.
