beijing, dec. 31 (xinhua) -- on new year's eve, chinese president xi jinping delivered a new year speech via the china media group and the internet. the full text is as follows:
hello everyone, the year 2022 is coming. i would like to extend my new year wishes to you all from beijing.
looking back on this year, it has been a very meaningful year. we have witnessed milestone events in the history of our party and country. the two centenary goals have converged in history. we have embarked on a new journey to fully build a modern socialist country and are now marching on the road to national rejuvenation.
from year to year, farmland, enterprises, communities, schools, hospitals, military barracks, scientific research institutes... we are busy for a whole year, pay, dedication, but also harvest. in the fleeting time, we have seen and felt a resilient and thriving china. here are amiable and respectable people, with rapid development, and ceaseless succession of the cause.
on july 1, we solemnly celebrated the centenary of the founding of the communist party of china. standing on the tian 'anmen rostrum, the chinese communist party has led hundreds of millions of chinese people to overcome thousands of difficulties, overcome thousands of challenges, and persevere in their determination. never forget why you started, and your mission can be accomplished. only by riring and working hard can we live up to history, the times and the people.
the sixth plenary session of the 19th cpc central committee adopted the party's third historical resolution. we are inspired by our achievements and inspired by our experience in the past century. i once talked about chairman mao's cave dwelling rivalry with mr. huang yanpei. only by having the courage to revolutionize ourselves can we win the initiative of history. the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation will not be achieved lightly, nor will it be achieved overnight. we must always think ahead, be alert to dangers in times of peace, maintain strategic focus and patience, and "make the most of the vast while sparing no effort".
as big as a big country is, it is also as heavy as a big country. a thousand things, in the final analysis, is the matter of thousands of families. i have researched some places, seen and listened to a lot of situations, very inspired and harvest. whenever i visit people's homes, i often ask them if there are any difficulties. i always keep in mind what my fellow villagers have said.
i will read the concerns of the people; i will do what the people desire. i, too, came from the countryside and have a first-hand experience of poverty. through generations of hard work, people who were once poor now have enough to eat, warm clothes, education, housing and health care. to achieve a moderately prosperous society in all respects and shake off poverty is our party's mission to the people and its contribution to the world. we should not be satisfied with our immediate achievements. there is still a long way to go.
the peace of the yellow river is the thousand-year expectation of the chinese people. in recent years, i have traveled to nine provinces and regions in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the yellow river. whether it is the "mother river" of the yellow river and yangtze river, the rippling qinghai lake, or the majestic yarlung zangbo river; whether it is the century project of south-to-north water diversion, or the "green map" of saihanba forest farm; whether it is yunnan elephants moving north and south, or tibetan antelopes breeding and migration... all these show that if people do not live up to green mountains, green mountains will live up to people.
this year, there were many unforgettable chinese voices, moments and stories. "please rest assured that the party, strong state i" youth oath, "clear love, only for china" affectionate confession; "zhu rong" explores fire, "xi he" goes to the sun, "tian he" roamed the stars; athletes passion flying, courageously first; the whole country is resolute in preventing and controlling the epidemic. the affected people helped each other rebuild their homes; the pla commanders and officers and soldiers of the armed police force are determined to strengthen the army and defend the country... the hard work of countless ordinary heroes has converged into a vigorous torrent of progress in china in the new era.
the motherland has always been concerned about the prosperity and stability of hong kong and macao. "one country, two systems" can achieve steady and long-term success only with concerted efforts. complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the taiwan straits. we sincerely hope that all the sons and daughters of the chinese nation will work together to create a better future for the chinese nation.
during my phone calls and video calls with foreign leaders and heads of international organizations, they repeatedly praised china's response to the epidemic and its contribution to global epidemic prevention and control. so far, china has provided 2 billion doses of covid-19 vaccine to more than 120 countries and international organizations. only through solidarity and cooperation can we write a new chapter in building a community with a shared future for mankind.
in just over a month, the beijing winter olympics and paralympics will open. to get more people involved in snow and ice sports is what the olympic movement is all about. we will dedicate a grand olympic games to the world. the world is looking to china, and china is ready.
the new year's bell is about to ring. our three astronauts are on a "business trip" in the vast space. our overseas compatriots are still working hard. our chinese embassies and consulates, chinese enterprises and other overseas personnel are still working hard. i would like to extend my sincere new year greetings to you all for your hard work!
let's go to the future together! best wishes for peace and prosperity!
