Recalling that all the service personnel and people are dashing ahead like the wind to significantly greet the grand festival in October, the editorial says now is the time for the field of literature and art to brace up once again and bring about a radical turn in literature and art in the new century as early as possible in the spirit of the 9th national conference of artistes.

The editorial goes on:

All the officials, creators and artistes in the field of literature and art should overcome stagnation in the spirit of blizzards of Paektu and create lots of masterpieces in order to fulfill their duties as writers and artistes of Juche in the on-going drive for the final victory.

The drive to implement the behests of leader Kim Jong Il, carry out the party's idea and defend the party's policies in the field of literature and art at present is like a do-or-die drive to carry out the tasks set forth in a letter sent by Marshal Kim Jong Un to the participants in the 9th national conference of artistes.

The officials, creators and artistes in the field of literature and art should implement to the letter the important tasks set forth by Kim Jong Un in his letter the way the service personnel unconditionally implement the tasks given by the Supreme Commander in the shortest time and on the best level under any unfavorable conditions and in the transparent creative spirit displayed by the Moranbong Band.

It is possible to create a large number of masterpieces when all the units, creators and artistes dynamically wage a hot emulation for creating excellent works by dropping the conception that masterpieces of the times can be produced only by a few famous organizations like the Moranbong Band and the State Merited Chorus, the editorial stresses.
