While building a high level of material civilization, building a high level of spiritual civilization is a great creation of the Chinese Communists, a great creation of hundreds of millions of people, and a great achievement of the Chinese nation to strengthen itself than the forest of nations in the world with an unprecedented spiritual outlook. March. Since the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee of the Party, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Jiang Zemin at the core has earnestly learned the lessons of the past, when one hand was hard and the other was soft, which led to the proliferation of bourgeois liberalization thoughts and catastrophe. Based on the policy, a series of major measures have been adopted to strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization in many aspects, and achievements have been obvious to all.Especially after the Sixth Plenary Session of the 14th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made the "Central Resolution on Several Important Issues Concerning Strengthening the Construction of Socialist Spiritual Civilization", the Central Committee specially established a Steering Committee for the Construction of Spiritual Civilization to strengthen guidance on this aspect of work.All localities and departments have conscientiously implemented the spirit of the "Resolution", and in accordance with the deployment of the Central Civilization Commission, they have generally increased their work in this area.The mass spiritual civilization building activities, with the main content of promoting civilization and fostering new trends, and focusing on the creation of civilized cities, civilized villages and towns, and civilized industries, are in the ascendant, with new measures and new progress every year, promoting reform. It plays an increasingly prominent role in developing and maintaining social stability, in improving urban and rural civilization and the quality of citizens, and in serving the people and strengthening the relationship between the party and the masses, presenting a gratifying situation of overall advancement and comprehensive expansion .Looking around, mass spiritual civilization creation activities involving hundreds of millions of people are flourishing in all walks of life across the country with unprecedented breadth and depth, and the spiritual outlook of the Chinese nation is undergoing historic and profound changes.

Literature and art have always been the torch of the national spirit and the clarion call for the people to forge ahead.In order to truly record this great creation being carried out by the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people in the form of literature and art, and fully reflect the profound changes that are taking place in the spiritual outlook of the Chinese nation, the Central Civilization Office and China Central Television jointly planned to shoot a large-scale TV show three years ago. The feature film "Great Creation Creates a Civilized City Tour".During this process, I was very happy to read a reportage "Xin Zheng Zhonggu" in "Guangming Daily".The article is about the deeds of the Xinzheng City Service Emergency Center in Henan Province. It is heart-wrenching and enjoyable to read.The author's name is Xing Junji. After inquiring about it through Guangming Daily, I found out that he is a professor and writer at the Art Academy of the People's Liberation Army.So without presumptuousness, I called him directly to my office and asked him to write about China's spiritual civilization in the form of reportage.After some consideration, he finally agreed.Originally, I thought that Xing Junji's reportage on spiritual civilization can be roughly divided into three episodes, like the TV special "Great Creation", with 10,000 words in each episode, three times that of "Xinzheng Zhonggu" enough.Unexpectedly, Comrade Xing Junji plunged into more than 10 provinces, more than 50 cities, and hundreds of villages, interviewing hundreds of people.Then, in the past three years, in addition to teaching tasks, he worked at his desk for more than 10 hours a day. Over time, he wrote more than 700,000 words, the manuscript weighed 15 catties, and more than 40 ballpoint pens and signature pens were worn out.Someone once asked me, what happened to the reportage?I also asked someone to ask Xing Junji several times, and the answer was: the work of spiritual civilization creation is too vivid, with too many feelings, and I am rushing to write, and the more I write, the more I feel that I am writing well... I deeply understand that great craftsmen do not show people with raw materials , So in the end, I stopped urging, and told Xing Junji not to worry, let him write freely!

Sure enough, hard work pays off, Xing Junji did not make a song for three years, and became a blockbuster; he did not fly for three years, and soared into the sky.Not long ago, he came to my office with a thick manuscript of more than 700,000 words.I saw that he was much thinner than before, but I also saw the joy of success from his imperceptible smile and confident eyes.I spent more than ten days in all my spare time to read the manuscript from beginning to end, and I couldn't help applauding it. In my opinion, it is deeply rooted in the fiery real life, firmly grasping the trend of development and progress of the times, and with abundant passion, has made a clear review of the development process of my country's spiritual civilization construction for more than 20 years, and made a clear review of the spiritual civilization construction activities. From the height of the historical development of human civilization and the breadth of comparison between ancient and modern China and foreign countries, it outlines a vivid picture of China's spiritual civilization construction today, promoting patriotism, collectivism, The Chinese spirit of socialism demonstrates the moral trend of scientific civilization, pioneering and enterprising, and healthy progress, and praises the vast number of cadres.The people in the department have a substantial, rich and positive mental outlook.Although it is not without flaws, in general, the preface is only a good book that reflects the great practice of socialist spiritual civilization construction and promotes the spirit of the times, and it is a feat of describing spiritual civilization in the form of long reportage. Groundbreaking work Just when the whole party and the people of the country are welcoming the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with full enthusiasm and solid work, the PLA Literature and Art Publishing House focuses on publishing this reportage, which has special significance.It can be believed that its publication will be welcomed by readers, and it will fully play a positive role in motivating, inspiring and motivating people.

With the entry into the new century, our country has entered a new development stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization.General Secretary Jiang emphasized in his important speech on 031 that our party must firmly stand at the forefront of the trend of the times, unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country, and realize the historical tasks of advancing modernization, completing the reunification of the motherland, maintaining world peace, and promoting common development.
