President Xi Jinping calls on the whole nation to work hard, but to always remember their families and be selfless.

A few days before the highly anticipated Spring Festival, President Xi Jinping called on the whole nation to work hard, but to always remember their families and be selfless.

“Love should reach to every family and bring warmth to all Chinese like a spring breeze blowing across the nation,” Xi told his audience at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

He added, “Don’t neglect your families, comrades, and loved ones, no matter how busy you are in your work. Love means being not hypocritical, not selfish, and not outrageous.”

According to Xi, the Chinese people have always valued high morality and love.

While people’s livelihoods have continuously improved, leading China’s economic growth remaining as one of the strongest in the world, he also called on the nation to “roll up our sleeves to work harder.”

“The progress in China’s development is achieved thanks to Chinese people’s diligent work,” said Xi.

He also hopes the people to not only have “great dreams, but also a great spirit to work hard and endure hardship to realize such dreams.”

He called on the nation to pay tribute to the diligent, brave Chinese people as well as the model workers, heroes, veterans, and everyone who contributes to the country’s development.

Also in attendance were senior government officials, military officers, renowned artists, and ethnic community leaders, including the seven members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee headed by Xi.

This year’s Chinese Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival, falls on Jan. 28.
