Confidence in culture vital to renaissance

In recent years, President Xi Jinping has been reiterating that, to revive the nation, we must remain confident as ever of the path, theories, system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Artists should learn to draw essence and power from Chinese culture to create classical works to inspire people.

How should the country and individuals draw confidence from Chinese culture? And what is the relationship between the cultural heritage of more than 5,000 years and cultural confidence?

It's not easy to understand the far-reaching significance of the Communist Party of China's confidence in the path, theories, system and culture of the country despite many of these aspects being part of individuals' daily lives. Even if a person is determined to achieve a goal, he or she may face problems when it comes to having cultural confidence based on his own character and morals. But the person could figure out his or her life's goal (path), the reasons behind that goal (theories) and the best way to realize that goal (system). And cultural confidence can inspire that person to achieve his or her goal.
