Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on the country's film industry to craft more high-quality cinematic works that capture the spirit of our times and mirror the aspirations of the people. His remarks came in a recent reply letter to eight veteran Chinese film artists, including 97-year-old actress Tian Hua.
In his letter, Xi praised the dedication and creative passion of these industry veterans. He encouraged filmmakers, writers, and producers to draw inspiration from real-life stories, explore new narratives, and push the boundaries of visual storytelling.
"Cinema is more than entertainment; it is a mirror reflecting society and a bridge connecting hearts," Xi wrote. "We need stories that resonate with audiences at home and abroad, celebrating the human spirit and shared dreams."
This call arrives as global audiences seek diverse voices and authentic stories. The Chinese mainland film industry stands at a crossroads, ready to offer fresh perspectives to screens at home and abroad.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs in entertainment tech, and culture enthusiasts, this is a moment to watch the Chinese mainland film industry evolve. From emerging directors experimenting with new formats to seasoned artists revisiting classic themes, the canvas is wide open.
Whether you're a thought leader, changemaker, or traveler seeking cultural immersion, keep an eye on the next wave of films shaping conversations on identity, resilience, and the future.
