  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has delivered important speeches at many Spring Festival group gatherings. On behalf of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, he has paid New Year greetings to people of all ethnic groups across the country, compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and overseas Chinese. He has gathered with everyone to express friendship and talk. State affairs, bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year.

  The general secretary's words are very precise and full of affection. "Be filial at home and be loyal to the country" explains the feelings of family and country that are unified with love for family and patriotism.

  Throughout General Secretary Xi Jinping’s speech at the Spring Festival group visit, “struggle” has always been a frequently occurring theme.

  In speeches over the years, the word "people" is the most important.

  Every speech made by the General Secretary is always full of profound feelings for the people and demonstrates the original mission of the Chinese Communists in the new era.

  Every speech was filled with a strong flavor of the New Year, touching every wanderer who returned home. Every encouragement is simple yet powerful, warm and inspiring.
