"It is hoped that the broad masses of workers will vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit, and craftsman spirit, love and dedication, innovate and create, enthusiastically participate in the fiery practice of promoting Chinese-style modernization with high-quality development, and make unremitting efforts to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation. On the occasion of the International Labor Day, General Secretary Xi Jinping, on behalf of the CPC Central Committee, extended holiday congratulations and sincere condolences to the working people across the country.
In the vast fields, the peasants work hard, the craftsmen of the great countries study the skills in the production workshop, the research institutes and R&D personnel are immersed in tackling key problems, and the courier brother shuttles and rides in the streets and alleys...... The prosperity of thousands of industries and the beauty of thousands of households are engraved with the imprint of labor. Labor is the essential activity of human beings and the fundamental force that promotes the progress of human society. Marx pointed out that "the whole so-called history of the world is nothing more than the process by which man is born through his labour". The glory of labor and the creation of greatness are the basic viewpoints of the Marxist concept of labor, an important interpretation of the law of progress of human civilization, and a spiritual gene deeply rooted in the blood of the Chinese nation. The 5,000-year history of civilization of the Chinese nation was created by the hard work of the descendants of Yan and Huang; the CPC's struggle of more than 100 years was created by uniting and leading the working class and the broad masses of laboring masses to explore and open up; and the new great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation in the new era was made out by the party and the people working together. Standing on the peaks of the times and overlooking history, it is labor that has created the progress of human civilization, and looking back at the journey of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it is labor that has built a solid ladder to the dream.
"All happiness in the world needs to be created by hard work. On November 15, 2012, in front of Chinese and foreign journalists, Xi Jinping, the newly elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, declared his determination to fight in simple words. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made a series of important speeches and made a series of important instructions, affectionately praising labor creation, eulogizing the spirit of model workers, labor spirit, and craftsman spirit, emphasizing that "labor is the most glorious, the most noble, the greatest, and the most beautiful", and encouraged "doing a line, loving a line, and drilling a line", pointing out that "in today's world, the competition of comprehensive national strength is, in the final analysis, the competition of talents and the quality of workers", and called for "relying on labor to create and solidly promote Chinese-style modernization"...... These important expositions have enriched and developed the Marxist outlook on labor, led and promoted the whole society to carry forward the glorious labor, the preciousness of skills, and the great fashion of the times, and gathered the powerful force of hundreds of millions of working people to roll up their sleeves and work hard and move forward rain or shine.
"Hard-working farmers, hard-working workers, entrepreneurs who dare to fight, soldiers who defend the country, people from all walks of life are sweating, and every ordinary person has made extraordinary contributions!" General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his 2024 New Year's message. Looking back on the extraordinary new era, from major projects such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Baihetan Hydropower Station, and the "Hualong No. 1" nuclear power unit, to scientific and technological miracles such as "Chang'e" lunar exploration, "Jiaolong" deep diving, and "Beidou" networking, and then to pollution prevention and control, targeted poverty alleviation and other key battles, the vast number of working people have worked with the party and struggled with the party, worked hard and selflessly dedicated, and made important contributions to the development of the cause of the party and the country with wisdom and sweat.
Labor writes the chapter of the times, and strives to create a better future. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and a crucial year for achieving the goals and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan. At present, the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country are marching towards the second centenary goal with high spirits, and the building of a strong country and national rejuvenation are showing incomparably bright prospects. At the same time, the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, the international situation continues to undergo profound and complex changes, and the tasks of domestic reform, development and stability are arduous and arduous. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "no matter how the conditions of the times change, we must always advocate labor, respect laborers, and always attach importance to giving play to the role of the working class and the working masses as the main force." To forge ahead on the new journey, we must deeply understand that building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation fundamentally rely on labor and laborers.
The most spiritually moving. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "To achieve our development goals, we must not only be materially strong, but also spiritually strong. "In the long-term practice, we have cultivated and formed the spirit of dedication, striving for first-class, hard work, innovation, indifference to fame and fortune, and dedication, advocating labor, loving labor, hard work, and honest labor, and the craftsman spirit of dedication, excellence, meticulousness, and the pursuit of excellence. The spirit of model workers, the spirit of labor, and the spirit of craftsmen are the vivid embodiment of the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, an important part of the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese communists, a powerful spiritual driving force that inspires the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to advance bravely through thick and thin, and is our precious spiritual wealth and powerful spiritual strength. On the new journey, vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit, and craftsman spirit, which will further inspire the masses of people to water the harvest with sweat, move forward with hard work, and continue to compose the song of workers in the new era.
The quality of workers is of great importance to the development of a country and a nation. "The craftsmen of the great country are the cornerstone and pillars of our Chinese national edifice. "On the afternoon of March 5, 2024, during the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping participated in the deliberations of the Jiangsu delegation and listened to the speech of Sun Jingnan, a welder from CRRC Nanjing Puzhen Vehicle Co., Ltd., and praised, "The transportation industry is moving forward step by step, walking in the forefront of the world, which is very important to be craftsmen. On the new journey, we will actively cultivate and develop new quality productivity, promote high-quality development, and put forward higher requirements for the quality of workers. It is necessary to further create conditions for workers to learn new knowledge, master new skills, and increase new skills, strive to build a large army of knowledge-based, skilled, and innovative workers, and encourage more workers, especially young people, to take the road of becoming skilled and serving the country with skills.
Socialism is a work out. Bearing in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest entrustment, caring for and caring for the working masses, earnestly realizing, safeguarding and developing the legitimate rights and interests of laborers, and encouraging the working masses to achieve their dreams in hard work, honest work and creative labor, vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and craftsman spirit, promote the whole society to further form a good atmosphere of advocating labor and respecting laborers, further rejuvenate labor enthusiasm and release creative potential, and will surely gather the majestic force of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation.
