　　Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the United Front Work Department Yan Shiyuan said at the ceremony that General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech at the symposium on literary and artistic work required literary and artistic work to go deep into reality and tap into life, always adhere to the people-centered creation orientation, and strive to create more and better literary and artistic works to serve the people. Shandong University of the Arts has always attached great importance to artistic practice and creation. The excavator donated this time has completed its mission on the construction site and has come to the campus of Shandong University of the Arts, just like a "second life" and started its "artistic life". It is hoped that while it serves as a campus installation art and a prop for teachers and students to sketch and experience life, it will inspire the majority of art workers and art learners to "explore artistic potential and take root in the soil of people's lives" more deeply, and use excellent literary and artistic works to repay the people and give back to the society.

Zhang Zhimin, president of Shandong University of the Arts, expressed his gratitude to the Provincial Party Committee United Front Work Department for its concern and support for the work of the college at the ceremony, and thanked Jinan Tianye Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd. for donating the installation art with symbolic meaning of "exploration and excavation". He pointed out that this will surely inspire the literary and artistic workers, teachers and students of Shandong University of the Arts to continue to study the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the symposium on literary and artistic work, always adhere to the people-centered creation orientation, take root in life and the people, and strive to create more excellent works worthy of the times.
During the event, Zhang Zhimin of Shandong University of the Arts had a friendly conversation with Chairman Zong Yanmin who attended the donation ceremony, and had an in-depth exchange on strengthening school-enterprise cooperation. Zong Yanmin, Chairman of Jinan Tianye Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd., expressed his intention for the next donation and cooperation, and wished Shandong University of the Arts a brilliant future. Other corporate leaders also expressed their willingness to cooperate with Shandong University of the Arts, and reached some preliminary cooperation intentions with Shandong University of the Arts.
