On New Year’s Eve, President Xi Jinping delivered a New Year’s message for the year 22 via the China Central Radio and Television Station and the Internet. The full text is as follows:
Looking back on this year, it makes a lot of sense. We have personally witnessed major events of milestone significance in the history of the party and the country. At the intersection of the "two centenary" struggle goals, we have embarked on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and we are marching on the road to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with our heads high.
From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, farmland, enterprises, communities, schools, hospitals, military camps, scientific research institutes...Everyone has been busy for a whole year. They paid, contributed, and reaped. In the fleeting time, the China we have seen and felt is a persistent and prosperous China. There are amiable and respectable people, rapid development, and continuous inheritance.
The greatness of a big country also has the weight of a big country. Thousands of things, after all, are the affairs of thousands of households. I have researched some places, read and listened to many situations, which is very enlightening and rewarding. Whenever I go to the homes of the masses, I often ask if there are any difficulties. I remember the words of my fathers and villagers in my heart.
I will read what the people worry about; I will do what the people hope. I also came from the countryside and have a personal experience of poverty. Through continuous efforts from generation to generation, people who were previously impoverished can now eat their stomachs, wear warm clothes, go to school, have housing, and have medical insurance. A well-off society in an all-round way and poverty alleviation are our party’s account to the people and a contribution to the world. For everyone to live a better life, we can't be satisfied with the results before us, and there is still a long way to go.
Anlan of the Yellow River is the millennium aspiration of the Chinese people. In recent years, I have traveled to 9 provinces in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Whether it is the "Mother River" of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the rippling Qinghai Lake and the majestic Yarlung Zangbo River; whether it is the Century Project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, or the "green map" of the Saihanba Forest Farm; whether it is the Yunnan elephant going north to the south, or Tibetan antelopes multiply and migrate...These all show that people will live up to the green hills, and the green hills will surely live up to others.
This year, there are still many unforgettable Chinese voices, Chinese moments, and Chinese stories. The youth vow of "please rest assured of the party and strengthen the country", the affectionate confession of "clear love, only for China"; "Zhu Rong" to explore the fire, "Xihe" to travel by the sun, and "Heaven and He" to travel to the stars; sports athletes are full of passion, Fight for the first place; the country is resolute and effective in preventing and controlling the epidemic; the people affected by the disaster are watching and helping each other to rebuild their homes; the PLA commanders and armed police officers and soldiers are determined to strengthen the army and defend the country... Countless ordinary heroes have worked hard and converged into a new era of China's prosperous and advancing torrent.
The motherland has always been concerned about the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macau. Only by working together and working together can "one country, two systems" be stable and far-reaching. Realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of the compatriots on both sides of the strait. Sincerely hope that all Chinese sons and daughters will join hands to create a bright future for the Chinese nation.
Let us move towards the future together! Bless Guotai and the People's Republic of China!
