Ladies, gentlemen and friends,

The development of human rights cause of China is never isolated; rather, it is closely related to the fate of mankind, the development of the society and the prosperity of the nation. At present, the whole China is ardently devoting itself to the fulfillment of a "Chinese dream", i.e., the great resurgence of the Chinese nation. The "Chinese dream" reflects the high ideal of the Chinese people, and the fulfillment of the "Chinese dream" is not only the fervent pursuit of all the Chinese people, but an ideal prospect of the development of human rights cause in China. Then, what is the spiritual essence of the "Chinese dream"? And what does the "Chinese dream" mean to the development of world human rights cause? I would like to take this opportunity to share my opinions.

The "Chinese dream" contains the "dream of democracy" about a socialism system, and means to provide a necessary political environment for the development of human rights cause. For the fulfillment of the "Chinese dream", the most fundamental requirement is to adhere to and improve the socialism system with Chinese characteristics. The essence of democracy is to supervise and restrain power, and achieve the all-round, free and sustainable development of a man. The democracy that we seek for is the socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics, the democratic system helpful to keeping the country vigorous, the democratic form conducive to releasing and developing social productive forces and boosting the all-round development of economy and society, and the democratic approach propitious to guaranteeing and promoting fairness and justice in the society and realizing the common prosperity of all the people. Only with such confidence in our system and approach can we guarantee the people to enjoy extensive rights and freedom, and fulfill the dream of making the people the masters of the country.

The "Chinese dream" bears the "dream of rule of law", and means to build a legal environment for the practical guarantee of human rights. The rule of law is a requisite approach to the fulfillment of the "Chinese dream". The Constitution is the very basis for the ruling of the country, and the requisite nomothetic basis for the fulfillment of the "Chinese dream". During the realization of the "Chinese dream", we must adhere to and improve the socialist legal system all the time, vigorously pursuing and fully realizing social fairness and justice. We should endeavor to develop approaches to human rights protection, constantly improve the judicial and administrative measures for human rights protection, push human rights protection to the path of standardization, legalization and institutionalization, and realize the unity of the principle of universality and that of particularity of human rights. By doing so, we will make people practically enjoy due rights and freedom, and provide effective, orderly and continuous legal guarantee for the fulfillment of the "Chinese dream".

The "Chinese dream" supports the "dream of happiness" of all the people, and means to construct an economic environment for the improvement of the people's livelihood and happiness index. To enable each of Chinese people to live with dignity is the basic start point of the Chinese human rights ideal, and to improve the people's livelihood is a major task of the Chinese government, which is a guideline in its ruling the country. Just as President Xi Jinping has pointed out, "The good life that the people look forward to is just the objective of our struggle." In order to fulfill the people's "dream of happiness", we should plan and balance the relations between the development of economy and the improvement of the people's livelihood as a whole, strengthen in all aspects the construction of the people's livelihood in terms of politics, economy, culture and ecology, and increase the happiness index of the people. We should plan and balance all relations of interests in the society as whole, concentrate most vigor and financial resources to practically solve the most practical issues of interests which most directly concern the people to the maximum. We should strengthen the construction of social security systems for citizens, further improve the system of basic public service, and enhance both the level of basic public service and equalization, providing reliable guarantee for the realization of the ideal objectives in the whole society, that is, the elderly are properly supported, the sick are properly treated, learners are properly educated, laborers are properly paid, and residents are properly housed.

The "Chinese dream" inspires the "dream of innovation" of all the people, and means to create a social environment for citizens' equal rights to development. To guarantee the full realization of citizens' right to development is an important part of human rights construction in China. As President Xi Jinping has pointed out, "The Chinese dream is both a dream of the whole Chinese nation and that of every individual. We should make all the Chinese people who live in our great country and this great time share the same opportunity of a wonderful life, the same opportunity of realizing the dream, and the same opportunity of growing and progressing together with our country and time." In this new historic period that urgently requires and calls on talents, we should create a healthy, harmonious and friendly environment for the growth of talents in the whole society. We should continue to deepen the reform of cadres and personnel systems, constantly explore and establish new mechanisms and new systems conducive to the full display of talents, select and appoint talents without being limited to certain types, clear away all obstacles for the growth and development of talents, guarantee everyone's rights to equal participation and equal development, and activate the creativity of the whole nation to the maximum.
