Editor's note:

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has published a series of important speeches and important articles. They are distinctive in style, profound in thought, and profound in connotation. They use history to reflect reality and look into the future, shining with the truth of Marxism. The charming language in these important speeches and articles is a true portrayal of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s governing philosophy and a vivid reflection of his personality charm. The "Daily Learning" column of CCTV launched the "Idiom Reading" series, which takes the form of "news cartoons + text reading" to help you understand the charm of General Secretary Xi Jinping's language from different dimensions.

　　At the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia 2022 Annual Conference, President Xi Jinping used a "ship" as a metaphor and pointed out that "all countries in the world are riding on a big ship with a common destiny", vividly expressing the development trend of the era in which mankind shares a shared destiny.

　　The metaphor of the "big ship" is not only easy to understand, but also accurately and vividly expresses the relationship between China and the world today, and reflects the way China gets along with the world. On different international occasions, President Xi has repeatedly used the metaphor of a "ship" to call on all parties to "work together in the same boat."

　　On November 17, 2018, aboard the Pacific Explorer in Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, President Xi Jinping attended the APEC Business Leaders Summit and said: "We are on the same boat, planning development cooperation together, and we have It is of special significance." He called on all parties to "hold the steering wheel firmly, set the course correctly, row the oars together, and ride the wind and waves."

　　On January 17, 2022, at the 2022 World Economic Forum video conference, President Xi profoundly explained the relationship between “small boats” and “big ships”: “Countries are not riding on more than 190 small boats, but on one ship with a shared destiny. On a big ship. A small ship cannot withstand the wind and waves, but a huge ship can withstand the stormy waves."

　　At present, changes in the world, the times, and history are accelerating. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly analyzed the new challenges and topics facing mankind in his speeches: the global economic recovery is still fragile and weak, and the contradiction of the deepening development gap is compounded; Governance deficits such as climate change have not yet been filled, and new issues such as digital governance are before us...

　　How to deal with these new challenges and new topics? From the perspective of "we are all in the same boat", President Xi has successively proposed China's plans to build a community with a shared future for mankind, jointly build the "Belt and Road" initiative, the global development initiative, the global security initiative, and the global civilization initiative, clarifying the course for the world in the dangerous shoals of countercurrents. ——The most powerful force is working together as one, and the most effective way is to work together as one. Everyone rows oars to sail a big boat, holding each other close when the tide is flat and the sea is wide, and keeping track of the direction when the storm is stormy. Only in this way can we sail together towards a better future.

　　China is not only the initiator of the initiative, but also the activist in its implementation. The power of China, which unites knowledge and action, actively promotes countries to grasp the hand of win-win cooperation——

　　China International Import Expo, Trade in Services Fair, Consumer Expo, Canton Fair... China continues to provide the world with new opportunities with its own new development, playing a glorious chapter of win-win cooperation;

　　Luban Workshop has taken root in many countries and places, the desalination plant of Gwadar Port in Pakistan was successfully completed, and the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway paved the road to happiness... Many projects related to people's livelihood and people-to-people bonds continue to benefit people from all over the world;

　　In the face of the complicated and complicated Palestinian-Israeli conflict, China has actively promoted peace talks and promoted ceasefires and cessation of war. At the same time, China has continued to provide emergency humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip.

　　Cut through the waves and work together with one heart and one mind. China not only issued an initiative on "what to do", but also conveyed to the world a clear proposition of "what not to do": abandoning the Cold War mentality, opposing unilateralism, and not engaging in group politics and camp confrontation.

　　"We cannot listen to whoever has the bigger fist", "We cannot let the unilateralism of individual countries set the pace for the entire world", "We must not engage in exceptionalism, double standards, or distort international law"... On different international occasions , President Xi clearly expressed China’s position that we must all be in the same boat on a big ship. “It is unacceptable to try to throw anyone overboard.”

　　As the first country to sign the United Nations Charter, China has joined almost all universal intergovernmental international organizations and more than 600 international conventions and amendments, concluded more than 27,000 bilateral treaties, and sent more than 50,000 personnel to participate in United Nations peacekeeping missions. Take action and use practical actions to promote the steady and long-term progress of the "big ship".

　　"China not only develops itself, but also actively embraces the world and assumes the responsibility of a major country."

　　From March 26 to 29, the Boao Forum for Asia 2024 Annual Conference arrived as scheduled. We will wait and see how the Boao Forum for Asia will continue to write wonderful stories about China and the world.
