Yesterday morning, the advanced deeds report team of Comrade Yan Su went to Beijing to give a report, and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Guo Jinlong, had a discussion with the members of the report team.

The members of the report team include comrades and family members of Comrade Yan Su, as well as junior students. As soon as he sat down, Guo Jinlong shared his past interactions with Comrade Yan Su with everyone. He said affectionately, "A person who is so wise, knowledgeable, experienced, and productive can always patiently listen to opinions from all aspects and think and communicate with everyone with empathy. This is the style of a great family

Guo Jinlong said that Comrade Yan Su is a banner of the literary and artistic front, a loyal practitioner of the Party's literary and artistic policies, and a people's artist who is both virtuous and artistic. For 65 years in the arts, he has always been steadfast in his ideal belief of loving the Party and serving the country, adhering to lofty artistic ideals, remembering the creative orientation centered on the people, and has been fighting to sing the main melody and promote the national spirit. Whether it is creative practice or personal conduct, one should have a sincere heart, a passionate heart, and a righteous spirit. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, at the age of 80, he still pursues his dreams and works hard, becoming a model for our times. He has lived in Beijing for many years and has also created a large number of songs with a strong Beijing flavor, which are deeply respected and loved by the people of the capital.

Guo Jinlong said that as a national cultural center, Beijing needs the power of culture and literature, and more Yan Su style literary and artistic workers. We must thoroughly implement the spirit of the important speech at the symposium on literary and artistic work, take Comrade Yan Su as an example, firmly establish faith, root in life, uphold morality and self-cultivation, and be the pioneer and evergreen of the prosperous socialist literary and artistic cause. We should learn from his creative pursuit of always persevering in hard work, striving for excellence, and bravely climbing artistic peaks; Learn from his creative attitude of going deep into life and the masses, dedicating himself to grassroots work, using emotions to create, and passionately praising songs for the people; Learn from his noble character of being strict with oneself, indifferent to fame and fortune, and willing to dedicate oneself, consciously practice the socialist core values, adhere to the unity of art and character, and promote truth, goodness, and beauty through practical actions, adding positive energy.

Guo Jinlong emphasized that learning from the advanced deeds and noble spirit of Comrade Yan Su is not only an important political task, but also a rare spiritual baptism. We should carefully organize a series of learning and propaganda activities, quickly stir up a wave of learning from Comrade Yan Su in the capital's literary and artistic circles, and call on the vast number of literary and artistic workers in the capital to write literary and artistic chapters that are in line with the pulse of the times, like Comrade Yan Su, and launch more high-quality works that reflect the Chinese spirit, the level of the capital, and the characteristics of Beijing.
