　　In 2020, due to the sudden outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Chinese people spent a "extraordinary Chinese New Year" without going home, gathering, or traveling.

After more than 9 months, after experiencing the tension and effort of the national war and epidemic, the Chinese were fully released during the 8-day long holiday of "Mid-Autumn Festival + National Day", and experienced the "late Spring Festival" as the more mellow. Home country feelings.

　　Consummation is especially valued in the blood of Chinese culture.

From the "very Chinese New Year" to the long holiday, it was just like an unexpected departure and an effort to return. The late reunion comforted people's hearts and wrote a period of human suffering but "full of hope".

　　Just as the Dutch historian Bregman’s latest book "Humanity: A History of Hope" was evaluated by book reviewers as "publishing a book with the subtitle "History of Hope" during a global pandemic. A brave choice." In the face of this global pandemic, all Chinese have also made a brave choice-always insisting on "putting people’s life safety and health first" and interrupting the millennium In the tradition of the Spring Festival, the large city of Wuhan with a population of tens of millions was closed, and the whole country supported the severely affected areas. The people of the whole country consciously participated in scientific prevention and control. The increase in cases was controlled within single digits. It took about three months to obtain decisive results in the defense of Wuhan and Hubei, and then gradually resumed work and production under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, and once again achieved local prevention such as the Beijing war. The victory of the control blockade will continue until the long vacation of hundreds of millions of people traveling at the same time is reopened.

　　In the past eight days of long vacation, China withstood the largest inspection since the epidemic.

These 8 days have condensed the extraordinary experience of all Chinese people in defeating the epidemic and resurrecting with blood, and used facts to clearly convey to the world the hope that mankind can overcome the epidemic and return to normal life.

　　According to estimates, the country received 637 million domestic tourists during the 8-day holiday, and achieved domestic tourism revenue of 466.56 billion yuan.

This data has been cited and commented by major media, “China’s economic recovery is a global success story”, “showing China’s confidence in economic recovery and epidemic prevention and control”, and some foreign media pointed out that “China’s economic and social recovery is accelerating to On a normal track, the Chinese economy has shown strong momentum and resilience, which will also help the world economy recover."

　　These 8 days have indeed shown that China's economy is recovering strongly, and the whole society has revived.

As foreign media said, "Effective epidemic response strategies are the prerequisite for the rapid recovery of China's economy."

The reason why China is able to usher in today’s strong recovery is precisely because the Chinese government has adopted an epidemic response strategy oriented to protect the people’s "life hope", which has not only contained the epidemic in a short period of time, but also achieved economic recovery and even more gains. This has improved the people’s confidence in their country and future.

According to a McKinsey & Company poll, the Chinese people’s confidence in the economic performance in the next six months is as high as 93%, much higher than that of other economies.

In difficult times, confidence is more important than gold. With confidence, there is no doubt that there is hope.

　　In the past 8 days, China’s huge consumption potential has attracted global attention and is regarded as the clearest driving force for the global economy to recover from the epidemic.

It is worth noting that next, China will hold a major meeting this month to formulate the fourteenth five-year development plan-the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee.

Through this meeting, China will establish "to build a new development pattern in which domestic and international cycles are the mainstay and the mutual promotion of domestic and international cycles."

Economic experts pointed out that in this dual-cycle pattern, it is a very important strategic idea to use the domestic cycle to drive the international cycle, indicating that China will take the initiative to create more opportunities for the world through its own development.

It can be seen from this that in the formulation of future development strategies, China has made it its historical choice to convey the hope of development to the world.

　　As foreign media commented, “China is moving in the right direction.” Next, in the face of constantly “witnessing history” and creating history in 2020, how will China choose to be company with hope again and again? Bravely writing a new history of mankind is more worthy of observation.
