2020 is coming soon, and I wish you all the best wishes of the New Year in the capital Beijing!
In 2019, we will use sweat to water the harvest and move forward with determination. High-quality development is progressing steadily. my country's GDP is expected to be close to 100 trillion yuan, and the per capita will reach the level of 10,000 US dollars. Key progress was made in the three major battles. The coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta press the fast forward button. Ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin have become a national strategy. There will be about 340 impoverished counties across the country, and more than 10 million people will be lifted out of poverty. Chang'e 4 landed on the back of the moon for the first time in human history. The Long March 5 Yaosan carrier rocket was successfully launched. Xuelong 2 made its maiden voyage to Antarctica. The Beidou navigation global network entered the sprint period. 5G commercial launch was accelerated. Beijing Daxing International Airport "Phoenix Spreading its Wings"... These achievements have condensed the hard work and sweat of the strugglers of the new era, and demonstrated the extraordinary Chinese style and power.
Over the past year, reform and opening up have continuously spurred development vitality. The reform of party and state institutions was successfully completed. A batch of pilot free trade zones and new areas of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone will be added. The Sci-tech Innovation Board was launched smoothly. The total amount of tax cuts and fees exceeded 2 trillion yuan. The personal income tax threshold has been raised, the prices of many commonly used medicines by the common people have been reduced, the speed of the Internet has been accelerated and the fee has been reduced to make the screen faster, and the waste classification has led to a new fashion in low-carbon life. The "Grassroots Burden Reduction Year" allowed grassroots cadres to go into battle lightly. Looking at the land of China, there are new changes and new atmosphere everywhere.
Over the past year, the reform of national defense and the armed forces has been steadily advanced, and the People's Army has demonstrated a strong army in the new era. We held the National Day military parade, held the 70th anniversary celebrations of the founding of the Navy and Air Force, and hosted the 7th World Military Games. The first domestically-made aircraft carrier was officially commissioned. The people's soldiers will always be the steel great wall to defend the motherland. Let us pay tribute to the loyal guards who guard our homeland!
In 2019, the most memorable is the grand celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. We applaud the glorious achievements of the Republic in the past 70 years and were shocked by the hardcore force of patriotism. The phalanx of the military parade is mighty and majestic, and the masses marched with passion, and Tiananmen Square became a sea of joy. The big rivers are dressed in red costumes, and people's faces are filled with proud smiles. "My Motherland and Me" are sung in the streets. The emotion of patriotism brought tears to our eyes, and the spirit of patriotism built the backbone of the nation. All of this has gathered into a torrent of praises to the new China and striving for a new era, adding infinite strength to us.
Over the past year, I have visited many places. The picture scrolls of Xiong’an New Area are slowly spreading, Tianjin Port is flourishing, Beijing’s sub-center is full of vitality, Inner Mongolia prairie is magnificent and beautiful, Hexi Corridor has passed through thousands of years, and has become more and more beautiful. Minfeng, Ambilight...the prosperous scene in all parts of the motherland. I followed the journey of the Chinese revolution to forge my original aspirations. From the starting point of the Red Army Long March assembly in Yudu, Jiangxi to the Revolutionary Museum in the capital of Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Xinxian County, Henan, from the Gaotai West Road Army monument in Gansu to the Xiangshan Revolutionary Memorial in Beijing, every place gave me a lot of thoughts. The inexhaustible driving force to follow the Long March in the new era.
As always, no matter how busy I am, I have to take time to take a walk among the villagers. Everyone told me a lot of heartfelt things, and I always keep them in mind. People from the Dulong ethnic group in Gongshan, Yunnan, folks from Xiadang Township in Shouning County, Fujian, all soldiers from the "Wang Jie Class", classmates from the graduate champion class of Beijing Sport University, children from Macau, and elderly volunteers wrote to me. In my reply, I affirmed your achievements and expressed my best wishes.
Over the past year, many people and things moved us. Zhang Fuqing, who has hidden his fame for a lifetime and has not changed his original intention, dedicated his youth and life to Huang Wenxiu, who dedicated his life to poverty alleviation. 31 warriors in Muli, Sichuan who died to fight fires, and Du Fuguo, who used his body to protect his comrades, won with 11 consecutive victories. The Chinese women's volleyball team, the World Cup champion... There are many unsung heroes who have no regrets, no regrets, and dedication. They have written extraordinary lives with ordinary people.
In 2019, China will continue to embrace the world with open arms. We hosted the second “Belt and Road” International Cooperation Summit Forum, Beijing World Horticultural Exposition, Asian Civilization Dialogue Conference, and the second China International Import Expo, demonstrating a civilized, open and inclusive China to the world. I have met with many heads of state and government, shared China's ideas, strengthened friendship, and deepened consensus. There are more countries in the world that have established diplomatic relations with my country, and my country has 180 countries with diplomatic relations. Our friends are all over the world!
2020 is a landmark year. We will build a well-off society in an all-round way and realize the first century-old goal. 2020 is also a year of decisive victory in the fight against poverty. The Charge has sounded. We must unite our efforts, the more difficult and dangerous we are, the more solid the shortcomings, the more solid the foundation, the resolutely winning the fight against poverty, and the realization of the poverty alleviation of all rural poor population and all poor counties under the current standards. Take off your hat.
A few days ago, I attended the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Macao’s return to the motherland. I am gratified for the prosperity and stability of Macao. The successful practice of Macau shows that "One Country, Two Systems" is completely feasible, feasible and popular. In recent months, the situation in Hong Kong has affected everyone's hearts. Without a harmonious and stable environment, how can there be a home to live and work in peace! I sincerely hope that Hong Kong and Hong Kong compatriots are good. The prosperity and stability of Hong Kong is the wish of the Hong Kong compatriots and the expectation of the people of the motherland.
The history is endless, with calm waves and rough waves. We are not afraid of wind and rain, nor dangers. China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development, unswervingly safeguard world peace and promote common development. We are willing to join hands with people from all over the world to actively build the "Belt and Road", promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and make unremitting efforts to create a better future for mankind.
At this moment, many people are still holding their posts, many people are guarding peace, and many people are working hard. Everyone has worked hard!
Let us seize the day, live up to the time and greet 2020 together.
I wish you all a Happy New Year!
