On the eve of 2022, President Xi Jinping sent across the world his New Year felicitation message sating as the year 2022 approached, China stood resolved to turn into modern socialist country.
From Beijing, I extend New Year wishes to all of you, said the Chinese president in a televised speech.
The past year has been a year of exceptional significance. We have lived through landmark events in the history of our Party and our country, said President Xi adding on the historical convergence of the Two Centenary Goals, we have set out on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in all respects and are making confident strides on the path toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
From the beginning to the end of the year, the Chinese people have been hard at work in the fields, enterprises, communities, schools, hospitals, barracks and research institutes, among other places, said the president.
Throughout the year, we have put in our efforts, contributed our part, and received much in return.
In the passage of time, we have seen and experienced a resilient and dynamic China, a country with its amicable and respectable people, a country developing rapidly with each passing day, and a country making continual progress in all its undertakings.
On July 1, we solemnly celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
Standing on the Tian’anmen Rostrum, one could only marvel at the extraordinary journey traveled by this major Party, a journey of Chinese Communists leading the Chinese people, in their hundreds of millions, in an unyielding struggle against all obstacles and challenges, and scoring spectacular, epoch-making achievements over the past century, said the president, adding in order to accomplish our great mission, we must always remain true to our original aspiration.
Only through vigorous and determined endeavor can we fulfill our responsibility to history, prove worthy of our times and live up to people’s expectations.
The sixth plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee has adopted the Party’s third resolution on historical issues.
The CPC’s 100-year achievements provide a source of motivation and its 100-year experience a wellspring of inspiration, he said and added “I have referred to Chairman Mao’s conversation with Mr. Huang Yanpei at his cave-dwelling in Yan’an, and the importance of carrying out bold self-revolution so as to gain the historical initiative.”
To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be no easy task like a walk in the park; it will not happen overnight, or through sheer fanfare.
We must always keep a long-term perspective, remain mindful of potential risks, maintain strategic focus and determination, and “attain to the broad and great while addressing the delicate and minute,” said the Chinese president.
Our country, big as it is, also has its list of priorities. The myriad of things we attend to all boil down to matters concerning every household.
Through my field trips to different places, I have seen and heard a lot of things which I find very inspiring and rewarding. Every time I visit people in their homes, I would ask if they have any more difficulties. INP
