The full text is as follows:

Hello everyone! On the winter solstice, one is born in the sun, and at the age of one, one’s rhythm changes. At this beautiful moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, I extend New Year’s greetings to everyone in Beijing!

In 2023, we continued to strive and forge ahead, experiencing wind and rain, seeing beautiful scenery, and achieving heavy rewards. Everyone remembers the hardships of a year and is full of confidence in the future.

This year’s pace has been very solid for us. The prevention and control of the epidemic has steadily transitioned, and China’s economy has continued to rebound and improve, with solid progress in high-quality development. The modern industrial system is becoming more sound, and a group of high-end, intelligent, and green new pillar industries are rapidly emerging. Grain production has been abundant for twenty consecutive years, with green mountains and clear waters becoming even more abundant, and rural revitalization showcasing a new atmosphere. The comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China has written a new chapter, Xiong’an New Area is growing steadily, the vitality of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is pulsating, and the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is standing at the forefront. The Chinese economy has strengthened its physique and strengthened its muscles and bones in the midst of storms.

We have walked with great strength in this year’s pace. After a long period of hard work, China’s innovation drive and development vitality have flourished and surged. The C919 aircraft has achieved commercial flight, domestic large cruise ships have completed sea trials, the Shenzhou family space relay, and the “Struggler” extreme deep diving. Domestic trendy brands are widely popular, and domestic new mobile phones are hard to come by. New energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products have added new brilliance to Chinese manufacturing. China is striving to climb with a spirit of self-improvement, and there are constantly changing creations everywhere.We have walked with great vigor this year. The Chengdu Universiade and Hangzhou Asian Games are full of excitement, and athletes have achieved great results. The holiday tourism crowd is surging, the film market is booming, and “village supermarkets” and “village evenings” are full of vitality. Low carbon living is gradually becoming a trend, and the warm atmosphere of life and the revival of busyness interpret people’s pursuit of beauty and happiness, and also showcase a vibrant and hot China.

We have taken a very confident step this year. China is a great country that inherits great civilization. On this vast land, the solitary smoke of the desert and the drizzle of Jiangnan always make people yearn for a thousand years and yearn for it; The nine bends of the Yellow River and the rushing of the Yangtze River always make people feel surging and full of pride. The dawn of civilization in Liangzhu and Erlitou, the inheritance of inscriptions on oracle bones in Yin ruins, the cultural treasures of Sanxingdui, and the continuation of the cultural heritage of the National Version Museum… The vast China, with its long history and vast civilization, is the foundation of our confidence and the source of our strength.

China not only develops itself, but also actively embraces the world and assumes the responsibility of a major country. We successfully hosted the China Central Asia Summit and the third the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, and a series of home diplomacy welcomed guests and friends from five continents. I have also visited some countries, attended international conferences, met with many old friends and new partners, shared China’s views, and deepened mutual consensus. The changing world and peaceful development have always been the main theme, while cooperation and win-win cooperation have always been the absolute principle.

On the way forward, there is wind and rain as the norm. I am concerned about some companies facing operational pressure, some people facing difficulties in employment and daily life, and natural disasters such as floods, typhoons, and earthquakes in some places. I am deeply moved that everyone is not afraid of wind and rain, stands by one another, faces challenges head-on, and overcomes difficulties. The hardworking farmers, hardworking workers, daring entrepreneurs, patriotic soldiers, and people from all walks of life are all sweating their sweat. Every ordinary person has made extraordinary contributions! The people will always be our greatest reliance in overcoming all difficulties and challenges.

Next year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of New China. We must unswervingly promote Chinese path to modernization, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, promote high-quality development, and coordinate development and security. We must adhere to the principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, promoting stability through progress, and establishing before breaking through, consolidating and enhancing the positive trend of economic recovery, and achieving stable and far-reaching economic development. We must comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, further boost development confidence, enhance economic vitality, and make greater efforts to promote education, promote science and technology, and cultivate talents. We must continue to support Hong Kong and Macao in leveraging their own advantages and maintaining long-term prosperity and stability while better integrating into the overall development of the country. The reunification of the motherland is a historical inevitability, and compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should work together and share the great glory of national rejuvenation.Our goal is grand and simple, ultimately it is to help the people live a better life. The upbringing and education of children, the employment and success of young people, and the medical care and elderly care of the elderly are both family and national affairs. Everyone should work together to do these things well. Nowadays, the pace of society is very fast, and everyone is very busy, with a lot of work and life pressure. We need to create a warm and harmonious social atmosphere, expand inclusive and active innovation spaces, create convenient and comfortable living conditions, and make everyone feel happy, have a brilliant life, and make their dreams come true.

Currently, there are still some parts of the world in the midst of war and smoke. The Chinese people are well aware of the preciousness of peace. We are willing to work with the international community, with the future of humanity in mind and the well-being of the people in mind, to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind and build a better world.

At this moment, the night is colorful and countless households are lit up. Let’s together wish our motherland prosperity and world peace and tranquility! Wishing everyone blessings and warmth throughout the four seasons, prosperity and health!Thank you all!
