On November 4th, the Northeast Asian Writers' Industrial Literature Forum and Exchange Activity, guided by Liaoning Writers Association and sponsored by Dalian Foreign Studies University, was held in Dalian Foreign Studies University. Representatives of writers from Japan, South Korea, Russia and Mongolia and representatives of Chinese writers from Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia ("three provinces and one region in Northeast China") went to a literary appointment to discuss and exchange ideas on "Literary Expression and Community of Shared Future for Mankind". This is the first important international academic activity held by Liaoning Writers Association and Dalian Foreign Studies University after the establishment of Liaoning Literature Overseas Communication Center, and it is the first attempt by the provincial writers association and Dalian Foreign Studies University to jointly invite writers from Northeast Asia.

In his speech, Liu Hong, president of Dalian Foreign Studies University, introduced the professional advantages and achievements of Dalian Foreign Studies University in the dissemination of Chinese excellent culture in the past 60 years, and said that he would rely on overseas Confucius Institutes and Liaoning Literature Overseas Communication Center to provide communication carriers for Liaoning literature to go overseas, provide language support for Liaoning writers to participate in international literary activities, cultivate new literary translation forces such as overseas students, and build a broader platform for the communication and exchange of Northeast Asian literature. She said that China has close contacts with Russia, Japan, South Korea and Mongolia, is closely related culturally, and cares for each other in literary creation. In recent years, New Northeast literature has gradually become a literary concept and academic topic that has attracted much attention. This conference is to jointly discuss the continuation of industrial literature in Northeast Asia. It is hoped that this event can build a high-level academic exchange platform, constantly explore and explain the profound connotation of industrial literature in Northeast Asia in the interaction between history and reality, inheritance and new changes, integrity and innovation, and provide practical literary expression and literary creation. It has a dual impact on literature and society, and strives to create more literary and artistic works with muscles, morality and temperature, so as to jointly build a community of destiny in Northeast Asia.

Zhou Jinglei, Party Secretary and Chairman of Liaoning Writers Association, said in his speech that the overseas dissemination of Liaoning writers' works has a rich foundation. A large number of "Liao Zihao" works have been translated into more than 10 languages such as English, French, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Arab, Persian, Italian and Romanian and published abroad. A large number of works have been adapted into online dramas, animations and online games for sale abroad. Liaoning writers are often invited to participate in international book fairs and literary activities. Liaoning is the foundation of the Republic of China's industry and the birthplace of industrial literature in New China. This year, Liaoning Writers Association put forward the "locomotive" creation plan of Liaoning literature in the new era, which is to encourage writers to write emotions and spirits, stories and legends under the background of industrialization in the new era. It is hoped that through this literary exchange activity between writers of the five countries, the diversity of Northeast Asian literature will be displayed and the understanding and integration among different cultures will be promoted. It is hoped that through in-depth exchanges, we can learn from each other and promote each other, and deepen the literary consensus among writers by making friends with literature and supplementing literature with friends; I hope that through the platform of Dalian Foreign Studies University, I can do a solid job in "going out" and "please come in" of excellent literary works.

In the keynote speech session, focusing on the theme of "Literary Expression and Community of Shared Future for Mankind", Chinese writer representative Jin Ziwei expounded his personal literary views with "Everyone is a River", Japanese writer representative Yuchoko Mao Ye with "Journey and Creation", Korean writer representative Guo Xiaohuan with "The Dream of Making the Impossible Possible", Mongolian writer representative Gong Ayurzana with "The Connection between Northeast Asia and Literary Thinking" and Russian writer representative Anton Metelikov with "Our Ideal World".

In the exchange session between Chinese and foreign writers, writers from five countries conducted in-depth communication on three sub-topics: personal discourse and public cultural experience, communication and mutual learning: literature as a method, industrial life and literary expression, and interacted with foreign teachers and students in the form of round-table discussion.
