"The members of the Ulan herdsmen are to study and implement the best cultural thoughts, inherit the fine style of the Ulan herdsmen who bear hardships and stand hard work, go deep among the masses, and spread the voice of the party. He Mailasu, a deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy captain of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region's Xing'an League's Zarat Banner Ulan herdsmen, has worked at the grassroots level for 14 years and witnessed the development and changes of the Zarat Banner Ulan herdsmen.
In 2010, He Mailasu came to work in the Ulan herdsman in Zhagaite Banner, and he did not make difficulties in the face of the difficult working conditions, the aging of the team members, and the lack of innovation in his works. He Mailasu said: As a member of the Ulan herdsmen, we must strengthen our conviction and create good works in the places closest to the masses. The hard work pays off, and the Zhalaite Banner Ulan Horse Riding has now become a team integrating performance, publicity, counseling, service, creation, foreign exchange and other functions. At the same time, the team has also grown, many of the team members are graduates of literary and art colleges, and their singing skills and dance skills are at a professional level.
In terms of literary and artistic innovation, the Ulan herdsmen of Zhalaite Banner have always insisted on going deep into rural and pastoral areas to experience life, drawing inspiration from creation, and creating many excellent works that are down-to-earth, spread and left behind according to the needs of farmers and herdsmen, combined with the party's principles and policies and local production and life. In 2023, the sitcom "Tai Xide" created by the Ulan Herdsmen of Zhalaite Banner was selected as a new work of "Learning, Creation and Performance" of the 20th China Inner Mongolia Grassland Cultural Festival and participated in the performance. In the same year, he also composed the folk music ensemble "Love of Mountains and Waters", the new folk music "Wind Riding Grassland", Hao Lai Bao "National Unity and Family", the song "Building Dreams with One Heart", and adapted and created more than ten band programs. Among them, Haolaibao's "National Unity and Family" and the song "Building Dreams with One Heart" won the second prize of the creation and performance of the 15th Xing'an League Ulan Herding Horse Literary and Art Show, and "Singing the New Countryside" won the honor of the top ten in the northern region of the 2023 China Village Song Competition.
He Mailasu said that the Ulan herdsmen of Zarat Banner have always kept in mind the spirit of the important instructions of the general secretary, guided by the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with creation as the core task, performance as the central link, and high-quality products as the foundation, vigorously carry forward the fine traditions, promote literary and artistic innovation, and further enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people of all ethnic groups. "The works we create are loved and widely sung by the vast number of farmers and herdsmen, which also inspires us to better take root at the grassroots level and serve the people. Homai Lasu said.
He Mailasu believes that grassroots literary and artistic workers should consider how to innovate literary and artistic works in light of the needs of the masses. "At present, many grassroots art troupes have relatively dense performances, relatively single works, weak endogenous motivation for creation, relatively simple ideas, and some teams are limited by funds, collection materials are shelved, and diversified innovation is limited. To this end, the proposal brought by He Mailasu this time is to suggest that the financial department increase the financial support for the creation of the grass-roots state-owned literary and art troupes represented by the Ulan herdsmen, especially to the "old, young, marginal, and poor" areas, and establish special creative funds, so that literary and artistic workers can calm down and create more excellent literary and artistic works that reflect the new life of the grassroots people, and better serve the farmers and herdsmen.
He Mailasu said that as a grassroots literary and artistic worker, it is necessary to thoroughly study and implement first-class cultural thoughts, understand the core essence, and clarify the practical requirements. We must be good at absorbing the essence and energy from the treasure house of Chinese culture. At the same time, as a representative of the National People's Congress, shouldering the expectations of the people, he will continue to improve his ability to perform his duties in the future, focus on listening and researching, create more literary and artistic works that keep pace with the times, take the masses as the main body of performance and service objects, find topics from grassroots production and life, be responsible for the people, and strive to be a bridge and link between the party and the masses.
