"I hope that women will inspire the spirit of dragon and horse, play the role of 'half the sky', and make female contributions to promoting Chinese-style modernization." On March 6, General Secretary Xi Jinping, on behalf of the Party Central Committee, addressed the female representatives, female committee members, and female staff participating in the National Two Sessions , to extend holiday congratulations and best wishes to women of all ethnic groups and all walks of life across the country, as well as to female compatriots in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan, and overseas female compatriots.

  Today is the International Women's Day.

General Secretary Xi Jinping’s best wishes to hundreds of millions of women and women workers are heart-warming and inspiring.

The general secretary’s sincere entrustment is full of deep concern for the all-round development of women’s cause, and demonstrates the leader’s deep feelings of caring for the people and caring for thousands of families. It will surely guide my country’s women’s cause to continuously create a new situation of vigorous development and inspire hundreds of millions of women to continue to work hard. On the new journey, "Half the Sky" will write a more splendid chapter.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has comprehensively strengthened its leadership on women's work and promoted historic achievements in women's cause.

From improving the legal system to protect women's rights and interests to upholding and improving the institutional mechanisms and development plans that promote gender equality and women's all-round development, from continuously optimizing the development environment for women to promoting the reform of the Women's Federation, the role of "half the sky" in the new era is fully demonstrated, and women's development is all-round progress.

Hundreds of millions of women have devoted themselves to great practice with an attitude of self-improvement and enterprising spirit. Zhang Guimei, the "lantern-burner" who is willing to serve as a ladder, Wang Yaping who walks in space, Tang Limei who dives into the deep sea, Wang Dujuan who has long been committed to the research and development of tunnel boring equipment, and returned to China have all emerged. A large number of heroines such as Jiang Lijuan, a rural entrepreneur, have used their wisdom and hard work to create extraordinary achievements in the fields of scientific research, aerospace industry, education and medical care, and rural revitalization, vividly demonstrating the bravery and charm of Chinese women in the new era.

  Comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization requires the united struggle of all people, and the role of women is unique and important.

Doing a good job in women's work is not only related to women's own development, but also related to family harmony, social harmony, national development and national progress.

Party committees and governments at all levels must always put women's work in an important position, adhere to a problem-oriented approach, create an environment, remove obstacles and create conditions for women's all-round development, and pool the power and wisdom of women for Chinese-style modernization.

  The majority of women must unite with the Party, forge ahead with the Party, and actively participate in Chinese-style modernization.

We must take the lead in practicing the core socialist values, play a unique role in carrying forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, establish good family traditions, and create a new trend of family civilization.

We should take the beauty of struggle and be proud of hard work, hone the ability to work and start a business, uphold the spirit of self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-improvement, carry forward the fine tradition of hard work, hard work, and perseverance, and rely on tenacious struggle to create a new world for career development.

  Inspire women to forge ahead on a new journey.

The majority of women must conscientiously study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, transform General Secretary Xi Jinping's care and concern into an inexhaustible motivation for forging ahead, show the heroic spirit of "not giving in to men", and show great cause builders and civilized demeanor. The style of women in the new era who are advocates and those who dare to pursue dreams inspire the dragon-horse spirit, are determined to work hard, make female contributions to promoting Chinese modernization, and continue to write a new great glory for "Half the Sky".
