On the occasion of the May 1st International Labor Day, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader extended festive congratulations and sincere condolences to the broad masses of working people throughout the country, encouraging them to vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and craftsman spirit, work honestly and diligently, be determined to innovate, dare to be the first, rely on labor creation to solidly promote Chinese modernization, and give full play to the role of the main force in the new journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.
Labor is the essential activity of human beings and the fundamental force to promote the progress of human society. Marx pointed out: "any nation will perish if it stops working, not to mention a year, even a few weeks." Glorious labor and great creation are the basic viewpoints of Marxist labor view, an important interpretation of the law of human civilization and progress, and a spiritual gene deeply rooted in the blood of the Chinese nation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly emphasized the importance of labor, profoundly pointing out that "labor is the source of all happiness", "labor is the only way for all success" and "the quality of workers is crucial to the development of a country and a nation".
Labor creates happiness, and hard work makes great achievements. From standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong, every step of the Chinese nation is saturated with the hard work and silent dedication of hundreds of millions of working people. From Zhao Zhankui, a "flag-bearer of border workers" and Zhen Rongdian, a "flag-bearer of new labor movement" during the new democratic revolution, to Wang Jinxi, an "iron man" and Shi Chuanxiang, who "would rather be dirty than clean" during the socialist revolution and construction, to Kong Xiangrui, a "blue-collar expert" and Deng Jianjun & Hellep, a "knowledge worker" in the new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization; … It is precisely because of the hard work and selfless dedication of workers that the magnificent building of socialism is built brick by brick. In the new era, a large number of advanced model figures, such as Zhu Shijie, Gao Fenglin, a gold welder, and Huang Dafa, a contemporary foolish man, have made contributions to the motherland and kept pace with the new era, inspiring the broad masses of people to strive to be the strugglers of the new era and writing a new chapter of "Chinese Dream, Labor Beauty". It can be said that all the development achievements made in contemporary China and the happy life enjoyed by the people of China today are made by the working people with their sleeves rolled up.
This year is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it is a crucial year to carry out the 14th Five-Year Plan. To do a good job in all aspects of economic and social development and make a good start in building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we must rely on the people and always serve the people, pay more attention to the role of the broad masses of working people as the main force, and rely on unity and struggle to cope with the situation and start a new one. It is necessary to vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and craftsman spirit in the whole society, implement the major principles of respecting labor, knowledge, talents and creativity, and establish the concepts of hard work, honest work and creative work, so that the glory of labor and the greatness of creation will become a sonorous voice of the times. Party committees and governments at all levels should fully stimulate the labor enthusiasm and creativity of the broad masses of working people, effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of the broad masses of working people, help the broad masses of working people solve problems with heart, and promote the whole society to further form a good atmosphere of advocating labor and respecting workers.
The grand blueprint for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization has everyone’s share of the achievements and responsibilities. Relying on labor creation to solidly promote Chinese modernization requires the broad masses of working people in China to unswervingly listen to the Party’s words, unswervingly follow the Party, take the goals set by the Party and the state as their own life goals, and consciously integrate life ideals and life struggles into the historical great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation. We should work honestly based on our posts, do what we do, love what we do, drill what we do, develop the habit of being good at learning and thinking, enhance the sense of innovation and cultivate innovative thinking, adapt to the needs of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, study hard and study deeply, constantly improve the level of technical skills, and make extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts.
"Socialism is done, and the new era is fought." In the face of such an era in which Qian Fan is competing for development, contending for streams, having the opportunity to do business and being able to succeed, as long as the broad masses of working people thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, be diligent in creation and be brave in struggle, they will certainly be able to create a new era glory and cast a new historical great cause.
