社会主义现实主义问题不仅仅是艺术问题。这是社会政治问题,是与说明现代世界的社会政治斗争的整个一系列问题有关的思想意识问题。对我们来说,为社会主义现实主义而斗争,这是思想战线上反对腐朽的帝国主义文化,反对一切异己的、敌对的、垂死的资产阶级艺术的那种经常斗争的继续。与帝国主义资产阶级那种颓废的仇视人类的艺术相反,我们的艺术肯定生活,它真实地反映现实,有意识地为社会主义斗争的人民群众的利益服务。 The issue of socialist realism is not merely an art issue. This is a social and political issue and an issue of ideological consciousness that relates to a whole series of questions that explain the social and political struggle in the modern world. For us, the struggle for socialist realism is the continuation of the regular struggle against the decadent imperialist culture on the ideological front and against all alien, hostile and dying bourgeois art. Contrary to the decadent hate art of the imperialist bourgeoisie, our art affirms life, which truly reflects the reality and consciously serves the interests of the people in the struggle for socialism.
