Converged into a torrent of China’s high-spirited progress in the new era——Apocalypse of Chairman Xi Jinping’s New Year’s Message in 2002 ④

“Countless ordinary heroes struggled and worked hard and gathered into a torrent of high-spirited progress in China in the new era.” In his New Year’s message in 2002, President Xi Jinping reviewed the many unforgettable Chinese voices, Chinese moments, and Chinese stories in the past year, praising all walks of life. Ordinary heroes who are brave and determined to fight have aroused the lofty ambitions of hundreds of millions of people to forge a new journey and contribute to a new era.

Ordinary creates greatness, and heroes come from the people. With the development of socialist China to this day, the achievements have not fallen from the sky, let alone donated by others, but by the broad masses of the people with diligence, wisdom, and courage under the leadership of the party. In the past year, from young students’ bold pledge of “please rest assured of the party and strengthen the country” to the affectionate confession of “clear love, only for China” of frontier soldiers; To the ambition of scientific and technological workers to “innovate and fight hard”…the trickle converges into the ocean, and the stars light up the Milky Way. Many unspeakable heroes who have no regrets, no regrets, and devotion are written in the ordinary of ordinary people. An extraordinary life, with wisdom and sweat, even blood and life, spreads the picture of the era of great changes in the mountains and the countryside, and creates a happy life of rich people and colorful lights.

The new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics is an era in which the Chinese people create a bright future amid new tests and challenges, and it is also an era in which the Chinese people struggle to create a better life. On the battlefield of poverty alleviation, how many people can afford to face the difficulties, and can withstand it at a critical time, and sprinkle their hard work and sweat across thousands of mountains and thousands of households; on the battlefield of epidemic prevention and control, how many people devote their lives to their mission and use their lives. I love and care for the common people, gather the trickle force into a majestic force, and build a copper wall and iron wall to protect life; in the tide of reform and development, how many people use diligent hands, wise minds, and perseverance to break new ground in life, and also promote The society is striding forward…Facts have proved that the Chinese nation is a nation of heroes, and the new era is an era of heroes. After hard work, the Chinese people have achieved the goal of building a well-off society in all respects on the Chinese land with their own hands, won the battle against poverty, solved the problem of absolute poverty historically, and embarked on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Here comes the bright prospect of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As President Xi Jinping emphasized: “There are amiable and respectable people, rapid development, and continuous inheritance.”

One hundred years ago, what the Chinese nation presented to the world was a scene of decline and decay. Today, what the Chinese nation shows to the world is a prosperous outlook, and it is marching towards a great rejuvenation at an unstoppable pace. In contemporary China, the country is magnificent, the people are heroic, and the future is great. In such a great era, we feel confident and proud, but also deeply responsible. We must show courage and energy to create achievements worthy of the times on the basis of the historical achievements of generations of Chinese Communists united and lead the people, and make strides towards a hopeful future. The journey is long, only struggle. In a country like ours with a population of more than 1.4 billion, everyone can converge into an overwhelming force with a contribution. Everyone can do one thing, do one job well, and the cause of the party and the country can move forward. Take it one step further. As long as you have firm ideals and beliefs, unremitting struggle spirit, and down-to-earth to do every ordinary thing well, all ordinary people can get an extraordinary life, and all ordinary work can create extraordinary achievements. The new era belongs to everyone, and everyone is a witness, pioneer, and builder of the new era. As long as we are united and working together, no force can stop the Chinese people from realizing their dreams.

The three astronauts are on “business trip” in the vast space. The overseas compatriots are still working hard. The personnel stationed abroad such as embassies and consulates, Chinese-funded enterprises, and the majority of overseas students are still standing firm…In the New Year’s message, President Xi Jinping praised Mengren is still struggling and dedicating.” On the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we will work hard, make silent dedication, work tirelessly, and strive forever. We will surely be able to continue to write extraordinary stories in ordinary positions, towards the goal of the second century of struggle and towards the Chinese nation. The Chinese dream of great rejuvenation marches forward bravely.
