(News Broadcast): General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech at the 2024 Spring Festival group meeting warmed people’s hearts and inspired the cadres and the masses to work hard and move forward courageously in the new era and new journey. Everyone said that in the new year, we should inspire the spirit of the dragon and the horse, and work hard with the energy of the dragon and the tiger and the fish leaping over the dragon's gate to jointly write a new chapter in Chinese-style modernization.

  At the Spring Festival group meeting yesterday (February 8), General Secretary Xi Jinping and other party and state leaders cordially greeted everyone, exchanging greetings and blessings for the new year with everyone.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the upcoming Year of the Rabbit is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. We have concentrated our efforts on Chinese-style modernization and taken solid steps on the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country.

  2024 marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of New China and is a critical year for achieving the goals and tasks of the "14th Five-Year Plan". General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a message to the people across the country to create a better future on the new journey.

  The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation. It has a strong and majestic appearance, a brave and fearless spirit, a feeling of blessing the world, and an incomparable power. It not only symbolizes the Chinese nation’s spirit of self-improvement and enterprising spirit over the past five thousand years, but also carries the spirit of the new era. In the new era of the times, hundreds of millions of Chinese people have the firm will and good wishes to promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation. In the Year of the Dragon, I hope that the people across the country will inspire the spirit of the dragon and horse, forge ahead with the energy of a dragon soaring, a tiger leaps over a dragon's gate, and a fish leaping over a dragon's gate. They will pioneer, innovate, work hard and contribute, and jointly write a new chapter in China's modernization drive.

  From the front lines of people's livelihood and supply to project construction sites, there are still many people who stick to their jobs during this Spring Festival, and everyone conscientiously implements the spirit of the General Secretary's important speech with practical actions.

  Hard work makes great achievements possible, and hard work makes dreams come true. Everyone said that on the new journey, we must forge ahead with determination and work hard to inject strong impetus into promoting Chinese-style modernization.

  People from all walks of life in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan said that General Secretary Xi Jinping’s speech at the Spring Festival group gathering gathered strength and pointed out the direction for continued progress in the New Year. (CCTV.com)
