Duan Mianmian, Class 5, Senior 2, Shenzhen Foreign Languages School “Without the Communist Party of China, there would not be China.” This sentence from a song is deeply engraved on everyone’s heart. This year, the Communist Party of China will have been established for a hundred years. During these years full of vicissitudes and changes, to the whole world’s amazement, the Communist Party of China has led China to make unprecedented achievements and entitled Chinese people with the most prosperous life ever. On this monumental occasion to celebrate the centenary of the Communist Party of China, I can’t help telling you how much I love you and thank you for all you have done. Thank you for your persistence, persisting through the most difficult times of the war of resistance, and ushering in a brand-new China. Thank you for your struggle, struggling with all kinds of difficulties, hacking all way through obstacles and creating the present powerful China. Thank you for your efforts, making every endeavor to make all Chinese people live a better life. Thank you for your wisdom, carrying out large numbers of wise policies in accordance with China’s characteristics. As a senior high school student in Shenzhen, we have benefitted so much from the policy of reform and opening up. Nowadays, the development of Shenzhen is getting better and better, for it has recently been designated as the pilot demonstration area of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Thank you for your care, giving priority to the wellbeing and safety of Chinese people. Since last year, the whole world has suffered a lot from the COVID-19 pandemic. China under the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the country that prioritizes people’s lives above everything else. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, China controlled the epidemic in the fastest and most effective way, and set a perfect example for the world. It is nearly impossible to achieve positive economic growth in such a difficult year like last year. However, China did it. The goals China has achieved are inseparable from the correct decisions of the Communist Party of China. I want to say “thank you” from the bottom of my heart. We always compare you to the sun, but we know the sun in your heart is our new generations. Our great chairman Mao Zedong once said, “The world is yours and ours, but in the end it is yours. You are like the sun at eight or nine o’clock in the morning and hope belongs to you.” We the new generation will not disappoint you and our people. We are committed to fulfilling our missions with merits of our Party pioneers. We believe we can make new history with you all along. |
