"Looking toward the future, all the Party's comrades have to keep in mind that to turn blueprints into realities takes a long time and it also demands long and hard efforts," the general secretary said.
Xi went on to say that everybody has one's own ideal and pursuit as well as one's own dream. "Nowadays, everyone is talking about the 'China Dream,'" he said. "In my view, to realize the great renewal of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream for the Chinese nation in modern history."
The China Dream has conglomerated the long-cherished aspiration of Chinese people of several generations, represented the overall interests of the Chinese nation and Chinese people, and has been a common expectation of every Chinese, according to Xi.
"History tells us that everybody has one's future and destiny closely connected to those of the country and nation," the Party leader said, noting that the people's wellbeing relies on the strength of the country and prosperity of the nation.
It is a glorious and difficult cause to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which calls for efforts by Chinese generation by generation, said Xi, emphasizing, "Making empty talk is harmful to the nation, while doing practical jobs can help it thrive."
"We, this generation of Communists, must take what has been left to us by our predecessors as a departure for forging ahead into the future," Xi said.
He pledged to build the Party well, unite all Chinese people to build the country well and develop the nation well, in a bid to continue marching boldly toward the goal of great renewal of the Chinese nation.
At the end of his speech, Xi said, "I believe that by the time when the Communist Party of China marks its 100th founding anniversary, the goal to complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects will be inevitably achieved."
When it comes to the 100th founding anniversary of new China, the goal of building an affluent, strong, civilized and harmonious socialist modern country will certainly be fulfilled, and the dream of great renewal of the Chinese nation will inevitably be accomplished, Xi said.
Also present were Zhao Leji, Li Zhanshu, Du Qinglin, Zhao Hongzhu and Yang Jing, members of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee.
