Starting from a concert in a cafeteria
2025-03-03
Cultural products resonate with the times and empathize with the people, only then can they truly be loved by the people. The most unforgettable concert is held in the cafeteria. At noon, as soon as I arrived at the school cafeteria and finished cooking, I sat down and heard a cheerful piano sound in my ears. Following the reputation, a classmate walked up to the piano and enjoyed the performance; Some people sit in their seats, enjoying the sound of the qin while eating, which is delicious; Some people sang along with the melody. What was originally an ordinary lunch turned into an impressive concert. University canteens, pedestrian streets, subway stations... Nowadays, more and more public pianos are appearing in these public spaces in an open and shared manner, pushing high art from the halls to the streets and alleys. No fees are charged, no thresholds are set, and there are no restrictions on professions or skills. As long as you are interested, everyone can give it a try and play their own melody. When the silver haired grandmother over eighty years old in the hospital plays "The Waves of Honghu Lake" with her hands covered in adhesive tape, and the focused and joyful expression of the cleaning staff aunt attracts more people to stop, art returns to the true essence of cultivating temperament and nourishing the soul in these touching moments. People from different professions, ages, and backgrounds gather together through music to share beauty, interpreting the true meaning of "cultural construction focuses on people and stays grounded in people". The concerts outside of these halls prompt me to think: how can high-quality and rich public cultural supply reach a wider audience and be perceived and enjoyed by more people? Innovation is undoubtedly a keyword. The content and form of public cultural services need to adapt to the times, and enhance their infectiousness and appeal through innovation. At the Beijing City Library, the application of cutting-edge technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence has upgraded the reading experience in all aspects and made knowledge acquisition more convenient - this is the convenience brought by technological innovation. In Shanghai, the popularity of the Citizen Art Night School is high, with some courses being sold out within just a few minutes of launch. Receiving artistic education and experiencing artistic charm has become a choice for many people in their spare time - this is the cultural sense of gain brought about by innovative models. Innovating methods, ideas, tools, and means to deliver cultural services to the public in a more accessible and down-to-earth way, building a bridge between ordinary people and culture and art, in order to better meet people's aspirations for a better life. Some people also hear warm and sincere humanistic care from the notes jumping on the black and white piano keys. After the completion of the Guangming Culture and Art Center Concert Hall in Shenzhen, Guangdong, migrant worker Yi Qunlin was invited to perform on stage as one of the first performers, and there were about 100 colleagues sitting in the audience who built the concert hall with him. The once unknown builder has stepped into the spotlight and become the protagonist, reflecting the development concept of "people's cities for the people", just like the heartwarming interaction between migrant worker Wu Guichun and Dongguan Library. The further a city moves forward and goes, the more it cannot forget who it started for and what it relies on for development. The process of creating more distinctive and tasteful public cultural spaces and producing more high-quality cultural products is also a process of nurturing urban character and cultivating development advantages. The masses are not only the objects of cultural services, but also the subjects of cultural creation. From this, it can be thought that since its launch in 2023, the comprehensive browsing volume of "Village Supermarket" has exceeded 90 billion times, attracting over 16 million tourists to watch the competition. Because it is created, participated, and shared by the masses, it can most resonate with the masses. Why did Yingge Dance make its debut on the Spring Festival Gala, become popular overseas, and resonate widely? Because it is rooted in cultural traditions, has a strong mass base, and has the genuine love of performers and audiences. The source of cultural development lies in the fervent practice of the people. This determines that cultural construction should not only deliver culture more accurately, but also efficiently cultivate culture, continuously stimulating the endogenous motivation of the masses to participate in cultural innovation and creation. From a concert in a cafeteria that left me amazed repeatedly, to the movie "Ne Zha 2" that continues to set box office records and leaves billions of viewers pondering, it reveals the interconnected laws of cultural industry and cultural industry development: cultural products resonate with the times and empathize with the people, only then can they truly be loved by the people. The expectations of the people for cultural supply are increasing, and within these expectations lies the direction and new space for cultural development. (New Society)
