January 21st is the Great Cold of the 24th solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar, which means that the cold wave will move southward in a big way. Most parts of China will experience strong winds, low temperatures, and snow on the ground that will not melt, presenting a scene of ice and snow, and freezing temperatures.
, the coldest time of the year has arrived
It is true that the Far East, Siberia, Central Asia, West Asia, the Han Peninsula, southwest China, northeastern regions and even the northern part of the subcontinent are experiencing the coldest time of the year. However, in the Indochina Peninsula, where it is like summer all year round, the climate is still mild.
The breeze brings warmth and the flowers bloom..
Especially on the 21st, the southeast blew strongly, and almost the entire Indochina Peninsula was sunny. The sun emerged from the horizon early, bringing light and warmth to the earth.
At 8:55 in the morning, the door of the Great Hall at the southern end of the National Mall slowly closed. Majestic Guards officers and soldiers walked from both sides of the Great Hall, gathered in front of the steps, and stood upright with guns in hand, solemnly.
But inside the synagogue, it was a different scene.
When An Yi, Jiang Yunshan, Xu Ziliang, Lao Shoudao, Ou Yaoting, Hu Jialin, Zhou Chongan, He Jing, Gong Qian, Wu Tingyan, Dong Fuchuan, Qi Shengqing, Hu Xuelan, Wu Hongqing and other national leaders stepped onto the rostrum, the stadium could accommodate 10,000 people.
In the venue, there was thunderous applause in an instant.
An Yi, dressed in military uniform, stood in the middle of the second row of the rostrum, two rows in front and five rows behind, applauding enthusiastically with everyone on and off the stage.
On the lower floor directly opposite the rostrum are representatives from all provinces and municipalities across the country. On the third floor above are representatives from all walks of life who are invited to observe. On the second floor in the middle are military bands and media.
Press box.
Reporters from home and abroad were armed with long guns and short cannons, taking pictures non-stop, flashing lights from time to time. The Military Film Studio and the newly established CCTV also sent elite troops to record the grand meeting on the spot.
At nine o'clock sharp, Gong Qian, the chairman of the CPPCC, who was nominated by An Yi and confirmed by all deputies at the last political consultative meeting, came to the front of the rostrum, stood in front of the newly decorated podium, and said into the microphone in a sweet voice:
"Dear representatives, the fifth meeting of the First Political Consultative Conference should be attended by 1,269 representatives. Today's meeting was attended by 1,211 people and 58 were absent. The number of attendees complies with the quorum.
, I now declare the opening of the fifth meeting of the First Political Consultative Conference!"
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Gong Qian's beautiful eyes looked around the venue: "Please all stand up and sing the national anthem."
As the participants on the rostrum and in the seats on the third floor opposite stood up one by one, the whole place was solemn. The melodious melody of "My Motherland" played live by the military band sounded in the venue.
All participants opened their mouths and throats in high spirits and sang familiar and proud songs.
After the chorus ended, Gong Qian said with a smile: "Dear representatives, I would like to invite the head of state, An Yi, to speak."
Amidst the warm applause, An Yi stood up and came to the front of the rostrum. After standing at attention, he solemnly saluted the participants in front, back and left, and the applause from the audience became louder and louder.
An Yi strode to the podium, looked around the venue, and after the applause stopped, he slowly said: "Dear representatives, welcome to the capital. Now I represent the central government, the Government Affairs Council and the Central Military Commission.
, make a comprehensive summary of the situation from last year to this year, so that our citizens can understand what our government and military have done over the past year...
"Since the National Political Consultative Conference was held last year, my colleagues in the government and the army and I have faithfully performed the sacred duties entrusted to us by the Constitution and the people of the country. Under our governance and command, we can say with no shame that
The following achievements come!
"In the continuous operations against Japan and Germany in the second half of last year, we successively killed and captured more than five million enemy armed personnel, destroyed and captured more than 10,000 tanks, and more than 40,000 artillery pieces.
, seized countless military supplies, safeguarded national and territorial sovereignty, and legally and morally
Officially gained sovereignty over the area east of the Ural Mountains.
"Fellow representatives, the undisputed land area under our jurisdiction now reaches 20.57 million square kilometers. We have restored the glory of our ancestors and brought all our native lands such as Siberia, the Far East, and Central Asia under the control of the Chinese nation
, and dealt severe blows to countries that have taken war actions against our country..."
The applause lasted for about two or three minutes before An Yi resumed speaking.
"In the past year or so, the international situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1891, Japan has repeatedly invaded our country, and has intensified its aggression since September 18th. After the July 7th Incident, Japan, which invaded China in an all-round way, has been cleanly expelled from the country by us.
, Nazi Germany, which was jealous of the steady development of our emerging country, also suffered an unprecedented blow. In addition, the allies, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, are struggling to resist the invasion of the Axis countries, while the former capitalist powers France and Belgium
, Poland and other countries have become miserable colonies. The opportunities facing our country and nation have never been as good as today.
“Although we are engaged in a world war of unprecedented scale, through continuous expansion of territory and effective control and mobilization of the national economy, so far, our country’s consumer price index has only increased by 5% compared with before the war.
, and due to the active feedback from the rich products of the newly included areas, prices have stabilized but declined.
"We are in a neutral country during the war. So far, the central bank has issued a total of 58 billion Chinese dollars. At present, the Chinese dollar is extremely strong in the world, and its credit is basically equivalent to that of the British pound and the U.S. dollar. Now we are in alliance with the United Kingdom, the United States, etc.
The country’s trade can now be settled in Chinese dollars. This is a great progress!
"Since the beginning of the war, our country's finances have further improved through a large amount of international trade in arms and strategic materials. We are currently importing a large amount of machinery and equipment from the United States, and we were able to independently produce most machine tools and production lines long before the war.
Our industrial output, in the next few years, will once again undergo earth-shaking changes. In addition, in terms of agriculture, we have the Red River, Mekong River, Chao Phraya River, Irrawaddy River, Ganges River, Indus River and Central Asia, Siberia and Malaya
We are actively promoting mechanized operations in famous grain producing areas, saving a lot of manpower and material resources. I believe that in the days to come, our industry and agriculture will become more and more developed!"
The audience burst into applause. An Yi took a sip of tea brought by the guards and waited until the applause stopped. He continued: "After a series of wars last year, we now have nearly three million prisoners of war in our hands. In addition, in the Northeast,
Of the nearly one million Japanese captives in the Far East and the Han Peninsula, we have four million free laborers. We abide by the Geneva Convention and do not mistreat prisoners of war, but let them earn their own living expenses with their own hands. After the labor period expires, these prisoners of war will
Residents of hostile countries can automatically choose where to go, or even choose to join our country’s nationality and become a member of the Chinese nation.
“In the next ten to twenty years, we plan to build a double horizontal railway connecting the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean and a three vertical railway connecting the Arctic Ocean to the southern country, and build three to four electrified railway main lines between West Asia and Southeast Asia.
Main lines. Indochina and the Arabian Peninsula will each build four to eight more electrified railways, bringing our total railway mileage to 150,000 kilometers, and making every county and city in our country accessible by train. This is not a false fantasy!
"Due to the long-term water shortage in Central Asia and southern Mongolia, we will implement the north-south water diversion project after obtaining sufficient evidence, and strive to spend 20 years turning the desert into an oasis or even fertile farmland. We must respect the laws of nature.
.But we must transform nature for our use. As Siberia’s abundant water resources flow southward, millions of square kilometers of desert will be turned into fertile farmland. From now on, our people will no longer have to worry about droughts and floods, because our motherland’s territory
With the vastness of the country, under the unified central government, we can freely dispatch food from various places, so that famine can be far away from us!"
Warm applause!
"In the past few years, we have continued to rectify the working atmosphere in the government and the military, and continued to improve the institutionalized work of anti-**. We have systematically cleaned up the country's administrative, military and judicial systems. In the supervision department and
With the full cooperation of the intelligence agencies, our country's officials are now clean and honest. The government and military are honest and self-disciplined. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and their sense of identity with the country has steadily increased.
"Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our economy has been on a high-speed road of development. State-owned, private and private enterprises have continuously opened up and developed new markets. Our construction has been advancing slowly from east to west, from north to south, and through the
The rational planning of the new Guangfu area and the combination of government, consortium and individual investment have enabled our factories to bloom everywhere in the past few years, and the degree of industrialization has been significantly accelerated.
"Many of our advantageous enterprises, with the support of government credit, have obtained much-needed development funds, have repeatedly expanded production scale, updated machinery and equipment, and process technology has been rapidly improved under the requirements of military industry and war readiness. The rapid expansion of industry and the male-age
The lack of labor has allowed our women to go out of the house and exchange labor for income, further promoting the improvement of women's status.
"In the land reform, national literacy, militia reserves and rural collective economic construction, our various grassroots organizations have been greatly tempered. They have proved their worth through hard work. In foreign wars, the relationship between all social strata
have been significantly improved, and our people have fully realized the unity and trust that they should have as a member of the Chinese nation."
When An Yi said this, the audience applauded again. He waved his hands and continued: "Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our military has been open to all ethnic groups. Brothers and sisters of the Chinese nation fight side by side, deepening trust and understanding of each other, and establishing
According to the wishes of the officers and soldiers, we have decided to implement a principle among all ethnic groups in the future. As long as they can speak Mandarin and master Chinese writing proficiently, all ethnic groups can consider themselves to be members of the Han nationality.
Confirm it in the ID card! In addition, if one parent is Han nationality, the child is unconditionally Han nationality, and no one can deprive or tamper with it!
"I want to emphasize here that although the Chinese nation is centered on the Han nation, we must fully respect other ethnic groups within the Chinese nation. Within the Chinese nation, no ethnic group enjoys privileges over other ethnic groups, but
When it comes to treating foreign ethnic groups, unless they sincerely identify themselves as members of the Chinese nation and swear to never betray them, these foreign ethnic groups will not enjoy our respect, nor the welfare benefits such as subsistence allowances, free education and medical care that are being implemented.
"It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people! So far, our education has basically reached the rural level. Almost all school-age children go to school with schoolbags and free books. Among young people and teenagers,
We have established the National Youth League and the National Youth League, and under the leadership of the National Democratic Party, the central and local organizational structures of the league and teams have been established. Young people of all ethnic groups and regions have carried out various activities under the leadership of league and team organizations at all levels.
Cultural and military training exchange activities. As close as a family!
“Delegates, young people are the future of our country and nation. Through mutual understanding and communication, they will pass on mutual understanding and respect from generation to generation, making the cultural melting pot of the Chinese nation more colorful and integrating more history.
The modern cultural source makes our national culture splendid and colorful..."
An Yi's speech was interrupted by warm applause again, and he simply took a sip of water. After the representatives' excitement calmed down a little, he pressed down his hands and continued to speak.
"During this year, our soldiers fought in various battlefields and were worthy of the title of 'the most lovable people'. And all our citizens also showed their strength and diligence. They were calm and diligent.
Facing the war calmly, under the correct leadership of the Central Committee, they used all their strength to work hard and support the Anti-Japanese War. They showed the fine virtues of the Chinese nation that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country."
"According to statistics from June last year to June last year, our national economy has made great progress. Our steel production reached 36.72 million tons and pig iron production reached 26.91 million tons.
.Coal output has reached an unprecedented 500 million tons, and total grain output has reached 310 million tons. We have built 1.2 million tons of various types of ships and further expanded our ship manufacturing capabilities.
"Our annual automobile production has exceeded one million, and due to the commissioning of production in the Ural region, the production will increase significantly in the future. The annual oil production of 27 oil fields in Persia, Myanmar, and Central Asia has reached 2,000
9.8 million tons. Last year, we built 9,800 kilometers of new railways, most of which were permanent first-class electric railways. We also built 23,000 kilometers of roads, of which 8,000 kilometers were
First-class highways. Ten thousand kilometers are second-class roads. The rest are third-class roads in rural areas. In addition, we have also built 3,149 new gas stations. This way, our cars can be conveniently connected no matter where they are.
Quickly add fuel..."
An Yi's speech was once again interrupted by warm applause.
When the applause stopped, An Yi continued: "Looking back on the road we have come this year, we can proudly say that our government is worthy of the trust of the people. Here, I am deeply grateful to my colleagues in the State Council headed by Prime Minister Xu Ziliang and the
Military colleagues represented by Generals Yin Jinan, Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng, Cheng Chengguang, Huang Xuyi, Yang Fei, and Deng Bin, as well as all the representatives participating in political affairs, we have united as one and achieved today's achievements
…”
There was another wave of applause in the venue! An Yi pressed his hands, and the applause of the audience suddenly stopped. An Yi nodded with satisfaction, and his majestic eyes passed over the representatives, media reporters and spectators at the table, and his expression became
Extremely serious: "Looking to the future, as the head of state, I hope that our people will guard against arrogance and impetuosity, be prepared for danger in times of peace, continue to forge ahead, continue to hone and develop themselves in the current chaotic international situation, and widely absorb the world's leading science and technology.
Face the world with confidence.
"In the face of great changes that have not happened in three thousand years, I hope that you can think long-term, take the country and the nation into consideration, work diligently and fulfill your duties, and work hard to advise our citizens to continue to be diligent and simple, uphold the virtues of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, and serve
We will work tirelessly to rejuvenate the Chinese nation and build a new world order!
"The current world war has entered a critical stage. In this test that determines the future of the country and the nation, we must grit our teeth and persevere until the day of victory. Our country and the nation must always alert themselves, unite as one, and pioneer
Be enterprising and move forward with the spirit of the Chinese ancestors who are indomitable and never arrogant! In this way, our destiny will always be in our own hands."
Finally, An Yi put down the manuscript in his hand, looked at the audience, and almost shouted loudly: "Friends, compatriots, a new era that is planned and promoted by the Chinese nation, a world dominated by the Chinese nation
The new order has been revealed before us.
"Please join me in reaching out and holding the future firmly in your own hands. When we look back when we are old, we can proudly say: We are worthy of this era!"
After finishing, An Yi once again gave a solemn military salute to the participants in front, back, left and right, strode back to his seat, and waited for the next agenda.
The cheers in the venue surged like a tidal wave and lasted for a long time.
