2019年CRI 2019年习近平主席新年贺词(1)

Comrades, friends, ladies and gentlemen,

"Time stops for no one, and the seasons keep changing." As we usher¹ in 2019, I'd like to extend my New Year wishes from Beijing to you all!

2018 has been a full year, and we approached it with steadfast² determination. Despite all sorts of risks and challenges, we pushed our economy towards high-quality development, sped up the replacement³ of the old drivers of growth, and kept the major economic indicators⁴ 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 intensified⁵ our efforts to improve people's wellbeing and steadily⁶ raise our standard of living. National strategies such as the coordinated⁷ 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 steadfastly⁸ implemented⁹. During my inspection¹⁰ tours around the country, I was pleased to see the lush green banks of the Yangtze River, the ocean of rice sprouting¹¹ from the 1,100-hectare pilot plot at Jiansangjiang Ranch¹², the lively Shenzhen Qianhai Harbor, the bustling¹³ Shanghai Zhangjiang High-tech¹⁴ 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 ethnic¹⁵ groups, who are the trail-blazers of the new era.

Over the past year, our country has continued to change thanks to home-grown initiatives in manufacturing, innovation, and construction. We successfully launched the Chang'e-4 lunar probe; our second aircraft carrier set sail on its maiden¹⁶ voyage; our domestically-made large amphibious aircraft took to the skies for the first time; and the Beidou Satellite Navigation System has gone global. Let me take this opportunity to salute¹⁷ every scientist, every engineer, and every nation builder who made these achievements possible.

We have also made great strides in our poverty alleviation¹⁸ 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 the 2.8-million officials living and working in villages, and the local village leaders. They are devoted¹⁹ to their work and do an awesome²⁰ job, and I wish them good health.

同志们，朋友们，女士们，先生们，大家好！

“岁月不居，时节如流。”2019年马上就要到了，我在北京向大家致以新年的美好祝福！

2018年，我们过得很充实、走得很坚定。这一年，我们战胜各种风险挑战，推动经济高质量发展，加快新旧动能转换，保持经济运行在合理区间。蓝天、碧水、净土保卫战顺利推进，各项民生事业加快发展，人民生活持续改善。京津冀协同发展、长江经济带发展、粤港澳大湾区建设等国家战略稳步实施。我在各地考察时欣喜地看到：长江两岸绿意盎然，建三江万亩大地号稻浪滚滚，深圳前海生机勃勃，上海张江活力四射，港珠澳大桥飞架三地……这些成就是全国各族人民撸起袖子干出来的，是新时代奋斗者挥洒汗水拼出来的。

这一年，中国制造、中国创造、中国建造共同发力，继续改变着中国的面貌。嫦娥四号探测器成功发射，第二艘航母出海试航，国产大型水陆两栖飞机水上首飞，北斗导航向全球组网迈出坚实一步。在此，我要向每一位科学家、每一位工程师、每一位“大国工匠”、每一位建设者和参与者致敬！

这一年，脱贫攻坚传来很多好消息。全国又有125个贫困县通过验收脱贫，1000万农村贫困人口摆脱贫困。17种抗癌药降价并纳入医保目录，因病致贫问题正在进一步得到解决。我时常牵挂着奋战在脱贫一线的同志们，280多万驻村干部、第一书记，工作很投入、很给力，一定要保重身体。
