The year 2012 marks the 70th anniversary of 'Talks at the Yanan Forum on Literature and Art'. In May 1942, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held a forum on literature and art in Yanan, Shaanxi Province. At the forum, Mao Zedong made a conclusion speech, which clarified the orientation of "(literature and art) serving the broad masses, particularly workers, peasants and soldiers". The "Talks" carried forward the essence of left-wing literature while establishing a new democratic culture. It creatively solved the problem of popularization and nationalization of literature and art since the May 4th Movement.
