Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends,
Today, I stand before you with immense pride and gratitude to speak about the magnificent journey of my homeland over the past seventy years. Seventy years is but a fleeting moment in the grand tapestry of history, yet it has been an epoch of transformation and progress that has reshaped not only China but also the world.
In 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, our nation was still reeling from the scars of war. The land was scarred, the people weary, and the future uncertain. Yet, in this chaos, a dream began to take shape—a dream of prosperity, unity, and strength. Over the decades, we have worked tirelessly to turn this dream into reality.
The past seventy years have witnessed extraordinary achievements. From a predominantly agrarian society to becoming one of the world’s leading economies, China has made remarkable strides. Our technological advancements have placed us at the forefront of innovation, while our cultural contributions continue to enrich global civilization. We have lifted millions out of poverty, providing them with opportunities they never thought possible. These accomplishments are not merely numbers on a page; they represent the hopes and dreams of countless individuals who believed in a better tomorrow.
But our progress is not without challenges. As we celebrate these milestones, we remain mindful of the work that lies ahead. Environmental sustainability, social equity, and global cooperation remain key priorities as we strive for a brighter future. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that no one is left behind and that the benefits of development reach every corner of our vast country.
As we look back on the past seven decades, let us also look forward with optimism. The next chapter of China’s story will be written by all of us—by those who are here today and those yet to come. Together, we must embrace change, foster innovation, and uphold the values of peace, harmony, and mutual respect.
In closing, I want to express my deepest appreciation to everyone who has contributed to the growth and success of our nation. Whether you are a farmer tilling the soil, a scientist exploring the unknown, or a teacher nurturing young minds, your efforts have shaped the destiny of our beloved homeland. Let us continue to march forward with courage and determination, knowing that the best days of China lie ahead.
Thank you.
