Xi Jinping

The Chinese Dream is, after all, a dream of the people. We can fulfill the Chinese Dream only when we link it with our people's yearning for a better life.

Happiness does not fall out of the blue and dreams will not come true by themselves. We need to be down-to-earth and work hard. We should uphold the idea that working hard is the most honorable, noblest, greatest and most beautiful virtue.

To forge iron, one must be strong.

No matter how big a country is, arrogance or a lack of self-awareness in its dealings with others will lead to its own decline.

The well-being of the people is the biggest political achievement for officials and it is also their highest honor.

Our responsibility is to rally and lead the whole party and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in continuing to liberate our way of thinking, carry on reform and opening, further unleash and develop the productive forces, work hard to resolve the difficulties the people face in both work and life, and steadfastly take the road of prosperity for all.

We should remain modest and prudent, guard against arrogance and rashness, and preserve our national character of being hardworking and plain-living.

We must boost our confidence, adapt to the new normal condition based on the characteristics of China's economic development in the current phase and stay cool-minded.

Without reform, the road ahead could be a dead end.

China will remain committed to peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit.
