二〇一九年新年賀詞
2019 New Year Speech
同志們，朋友們，女士們，先生們：
Comrades, friends, ladies and gentlemen,
大家好！“歲月不居，時節如流。”2019年馬上就要到了，我在北京向大家致以新年的美好祝福！
Greetings to you all! "Time stops for no one, and the seasons keep changing." As we usher in 2019, I'd like to extend my New Year wishes from Beijing to you all!
2018年，我們過得很充實、走得很堅定。這一年，我們戰勝各種風險挑戰，推動經濟高質量發展，加快新舊動能轉換，保持經濟運行在合理區間。藍天、碧水、淨土保衛戰順利推進，各項民生事業加快發展，人民生活持續改善。京津冀協同發展、長江經濟帶發展、粵港澳大灣區建設等國家戰略穩步實施。我在各地考察時欣喜地看到：長江兩岸綠意盎然，建三江萬畝大地號稻浪滾滾，深圳前海生機勃勃，上海張江活力四射，港珠澳大橋飛架三地……這些成就是全國各族人民擼起袖子幹出來的，是新時代奮鬥者揮灑汗水拼出來的。
2018 has been a full year, and we approached it with steadfast determination. Despite all sorts of risks and challenges, we pushed our economy towards high-quality development, sped up the replacement of the old drivers of growth, and kept the major economic indicators within a reasonable range. We made headway in our efforts to protect our blue skies, and to defend our rivers and soil from pollution. And we intensified our efforts to improve people's well-being and steadily raise our standards of living. National strategies such as the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area were steadfastly implemented. During my inspection tours around the country, I was pleased to see the lush green banks of the Yangtze River, the ocean of rice sprouting at the Jiansanjiang agricultural base, the lively Shenzhen Qianhai Harbor, the bustling Shanghai Zhangjiang High-tech Park, and the bridge that brings together Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao. These achievements are all thanks to the hard work of people from all of China's ethnic groups, who are the trail-blazers of the new era.
這一年，中國製造、中國創造、中國建造共同發力，繼續改變著中國的面貌。嫦娥四號探測器成功發射，第二艘航母出海試航，國產大型水陸兩棲飛機水上首飛，北斗導航向全球組網邁出堅實一步。在此，我要向每一位科學家、每一位工程師、每一位“大國工匠”、每一位建設者和參與者致敬！
Over the past year, the combined forces of Chinese manufacturing, Chinese innovation, and Chinese construction, have continued to change the face of the country. We successfully launched the Chang'e-4 lunar probe; our second aircraft carrier set sail on its maiden voyage; our domestically-made large amphibious aircraft performed its first water launch; and the BeiDou Satellite Navigation System has gone global. Let me take this opportunity to salute every scientist, every engineer, and every nation builder who made these achievements possible.
這一年，脫貧攻堅傳來很多好消息。全國又有125個貧困縣通過驗收脫貧，1000萬農村貧困人口擺脫貧困。17種抗癌藥降價並納入醫保目錄，因病致貧問題正在進一步得到解決。我時常牽掛著奮戰在脫貧一線的同志們，280多萬駐村幹部、第一書記，工作很投入、很給力，一定要保重身體。
We have also made great strides in our poverty alleviation efforts in the past year. Another 125 poor counties and 10 million poverty-stricken rural residents were lifted out of poverty. We reduced the price of 17 cancer-fighting drugs, and included them on our medical insurance list. And we are continuing to tackle the financial strain that can accompany a family member falling ill. Our comrades on the front lines of the fight against poverty are often in my thoughts, including over 2.8 million officials living and working in villages, and the local village leaders. They are devoted to their work and do an awesome job, and I wish them good health.
我始終惦記著困難群眾。在四川涼山三河村，我看望了彝族村民吉好也求、節列俄阿木兩家人。在山東濟南三澗溪村，我和趙順利一家圍坐一起拉家常。在遼寧撫順東華園社區，我到陳玉芳家裡瞭解避險搬遷安置情況。在廣東清遠連樟村，我和貧困戶陸奕和交談脫貧之計。他們真誠樸實的面容至今浮現在我的腦海。新年之際，祝鄉親們的生活蒸蒸日上，越過越紅火。
My heart goes out to the people living in hardship. In Sanhe Village of Liangshan in Sichuan Province, I visited the families of two villagers from the Yi people. In Sanjianxi Village in Jinan City in Shandong Province, I sat down with the family of Zhao Shunli to hear about their day-to-day lives. In the Donghuayuan community in the city of Fushun in Liaoning Province, I visited Chen Yufang's family to learn about how they were settling in after being relocated from a dangerous area. In Lianzhang Village in Qingyuan in Guangdong Province, I discussed with a villager named Lu Yihe how we could help to relieve his household's poverty. I can vividly recall their down-to-earth sincerity. I would like to wish all of them and their fellow villagers a prosperous and thriving New Year.
這一年，我們隆重慶祝改革開放40週年，對黨和國家機構進行了系統性、整體性、重構性的改革，推出100多項重要改革舉措，舉辦首屆中國國際進口博覽會，啟動建設海南自由貿易試驗區。世界看到了改革開放的中國加速度，看到了將改革開放進行到底的中國決心。我們改革的腳步不會停滯，開放的大門只會越開越大。
In 2018, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up. We unveiled a comprehensive and systematic overhaul of both Party and State institutions. We launched over 100 major reform measures, held the first China International Import Expo, and began construction of a pilot free trade zone in Hainan. The world has seen China's accelerating reform and opening up, and its determination to carry it forward. China's reforms will never stop, and its doors will only open ever wider. www.kouyi.org
我注意到，今年，恢復高考後的第一批大學生大多已經退休，大批“00後”進入高校校園。1億多非戶籍人口在城市落戶的行動正在繼續，1300萬人在城鎮找到了工作，解決棚戶區問題的住房開工了580萬套，新市民有了溫暖的家。很多港澳臺居民拿到了居住證，香港進入了全國高鐵網。一個流動的中國，充滿了繁榮發展的活力。我們都在努力奔跑，我們都是追夢人。
I noticed that in the past year, most people who enrolled in college when the entrance exam resumed in 1977 have retired. And a large number of people born after 2000 have entered university. More than 100 million people from our rural areas are gradually becoming permanent residents in our cities. 13 million have found jobs, and construction has begun on 5.8 million new homes for those people living in dilapidated houses. Many have already moved into their new warm homes. Many people from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan now have resident permits for the mainland, and Hong Kong has become a stop on our high-speed railway network. China, as a country of people on the move, is energetically pursuing prosperity. We are running at full speed towards the realization of our dreams.
此時此刻，我特別要提到一些閃亮的名字。今年，天上多了顆“南仁東星”，全軍英模掛像裡多了林俊德和張超兩位同志。我們要記住守島衛國32年的王繼才同志，為保護試驗平臺挺身而出、壯烈犧牲的黃群、宋月才、姜開斌同志，以及其他為國為民捐軀的英雄們。他們是新時代最可愛的人，永遠值得我們懷念和學習。
At this point, I'd like to mention several leading lights. Nan Rendong, a Chinese scientist after whom an asteroid was named a few months ago; Lin Junde and Zhang Chao, who joined the long list of exemplary soldiers in the People's Liberation Army; Wang Jicai, who for thirty-two years served on a border island; and those who died protecting an experimental offshore platform - Huang Qun, Song Yuecai, and Jiang Kaibin, and the many other heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. They are the most admirable people in China's new era, and we should remember their names forever, and learn from their deeds.
這一年，又有很多新老朋友來到中國。我們舉辦了博鰲亞洲論壇年會、上海合作組織青島峰會、中非合作論壇北京峰會等主場外交活動，提出了中國主張，發出了中國聲音。我和同事們出訪五大洲，參加了許多重要外交活動，同各國領導人進行了廣泛交流，鞏固了友誼，增進了信任，擴大了我們的朋友圈。
In 2018, China played host to many friends, both old and new. We hosted the annual Boao Forum for Asia, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Qingdao, as well as the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. We put China's proposals on the table and made our voice heard at these and other diplomatic events. I and my colleagues visited five continents and attended many important diplomatic events. We spoke with state leaders about wide-ranging issues, we strengthened our friendships, we enhanced mutual trust, and we enlarged our circle of friends. www.kouyi.org
2019年，我們將隆重慶祝中華人民共和國70週年華誕。70年披荊斬棘，70年風雨兼程。人民是共和國的堅實根基，人民是我們執政的最大底氣。一路走來，中國人民自力更生、艱苦奮鬥，創造了舉世矚目的中國奇蹟。新徵程上，不管亂雲飛渡、風吹浪打，我們都要緊緊依靠人民，堅持自力更生、艱苦奮鬥，以堅如磐石的信心、只爭朝夕的勁頭、堅韌不拔的毅力，一步一個腳印把前無古人的偉大事業推向前進。
In 2019, we will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Our country has braved thorny paths and confronted stormy weather over the past seventy years. Our people are the country's solid foundation and our main source of confidence to govern. Through the years, the Chinese people have been self-reliant and worked diligently to create Chinese miracles that the world has marveled at. And now, looking forward, despite the complexities and difficulties we may face on the road ahead, we shall always closely rely on the people and stick to self-reliance and hard work. With rock-solid confidence, and racing against time with unwavering determination, we will carry forward our unprecedented great cause one resolute step after another, and leave enduring footprints behind us.
2019年，有機遇也有挑戰，大家還要一起拼搏、一起奮鬥。減稅降費政策措施要落地生根，讓企業輕裝上陣。要真誠尊重各種人才，充分激發他們創新創造活力。要傾聽基層幹部心聲，讓敢擔當有作為的幹部有幹勁、有奔頭。農村1000多萬貧困人口的脫貧任務要如期完成，還得咬定目標使勁幹。要關愛退役軍人，他們為保家衛國作出了貢獻。這個時候，快遞小哥、環衛工人、出租車司機以及千千萬萬的勞動者，還在辛勤工作，我們要感謝這些美好生活的創造者、守護者。大家辛苦了。
2019 will see both opportunities and challenges that will require us to work together shoulder to shoulder. Policies to cut taxes and fees must take root to ease the burden on enterprises. We must show our sincere appreciation to talent of all kinds, and stimulate their creative energy. We must lend an ear to our officials at the grassroots, and bring energy and greater purpose to those who are ready to commit to making a difference. To achieve our task of lifting another 10 million-plus rural residents out of poverty as planned, we shall remain focused and work hard on this. We shall take better care of our military veterans who have done much to keep the motherland safe. Even as we speak, there are deliverymen, street cleaners, taxi drivers, and countless others who are hard at work. We should thank these workers who contribute to the creation of our beautiful society. Their hard work is much appreciated.
放眼全球，我們正面臨百年未有之大變局。無論國際風雲如何變幻，中國維護國家主權和安全的信心和決心不會變，中國維護世界和平、促進共同發展的誠意和善意不會變。我們將積極推動共建“一帶一路”，繼續推動構建人類命運共同體，為建設一個更加繁榮美好的世界而不懈努力。
Looking at the world at large, we're facing a period of major change never seen in a century. No matter what these changes bring, China will remain resolute and confident in its defense of its national sovereignty and security. And China's sincerity and goodwill to safeguard world peace and promote common development will remain unchanged. We will continue to push ahead with the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, and continue to advocate for the development of a community of shared future for mankind. And we will work tirelessly for a more prosperous and beautiful world.
新年的鐘聲即將敲響，讓我們滿懷信心和期待，一同迎接2019年的到來。
As we ring in the New Year, let's embrace 2019 with confidence and anticipation.
祝福中國！祝福世界！
Best wishes to China! And best wishes to the world!
謝謝大家！
Thank you!
