On New Year's Eve, President Xi Jinping delivered a New Year message via the China Media Group and the Internet. The full text is as follows:

Looking back on this year, I am filled with emotion. We witnessed with our own eyes a milestone event in the history of our Party and country. At the intersection of the two Centenary Goals, we have embarked on a new journey to fully build a modern socialist country and stride toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, farmland, enterprises, communities, schools, hospitals, military barracks, scientific research institutes... It has been a busy year. They give, contribute and receive. The China we see and feel in the fleeting time is a persistent and prosperous China. People amiable and respectable, rapid development, continuous inheritance.

A great country is as great as a great one. Thousands of things, after all, is the matter of thousands of households. I researched some places, read and listened to a lot of situations, which was very enlightening and helpful. Whenever I visit people's homes, I often ask if there are any difficulties. I took to heart the words of my father and the villagers.

I can read what people are worried about; I will do what the people want. I also come from the countryside and have experienced poverty first hand. Through the efforts of generations, people who were once destituted now have enough to eat, warm clothes, schools, housing and health insurance. To finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and fight poverty is our Party's debt to the people and contribution to the world. To make everyone's life better, we cannot be satisfied with the immediate results, there is still a long way to go.

The Peace of the Yellow River is the wish of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. In recent years, I have traveled to nine provinces in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Whether it is the "mother river" of the Yellow River and Yangtze River, the rippled Qinghai Lake, or the mighty Yarlung Zangbo River; Whether it is the century project of south-to-North Water diversion, or the "green map" of Saihanba Forest Farm; Whether it is the yunnan elephants running from north to south, or the migration of Tibetan antelopes... All this shows that people live up to castle Peak, castle peak will live up to others.

This year, there were many unforgettable Chinese voices, Moments and stories. "Please rest assured that the party, strong" youth oath, "qingming love, only for China" affectionate confession; Zhurong explored fire, Xi He traveled in the sun, and Tianhe traveled in the stars. Athletes are passionate, scrambling; China is resolute and effective in epidemic prevention and control. The affected people are helping each other to rebuild their homes; PLA commanders and armed police officers are determined to build a strong army to defend the country... Countless ordinary heroes have pooled their efforts to create a powerful current of China's prosperity in the new era.

The motherland has always been concerned about the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao. Only with concerted efforts can "one country, two systems" achieve steady and long-term success. Complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. I sincerely hope that all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation will join hands to create a better future for the Chinese nation.

Let's go to the future together! Best wishes and Cathay to the People's Republic of China!
