In response to the current complex international situation and contemporary environment, artistic talents should shoulder multiple missions and respon-sibilities. As a Chinese scholar who has engaged in teaching literary and art theory in several countries, I attempt to shape China’s path through world experience and propose that there should be three main goals for the cultiva-tion of artistic talents in the 21st century. Firstly, artistic talents should pos-sess both national and global characteristics, as well as local and universal characteristics; Secondly, artistic talents should become cross-border high-end talents with comprehensive abilities and qualities; Thirdly, artistic talents should possess a strong sense of social responsibility, and should pay attention to the dialogue with the public and the transformation of the living landscape.
