A passage of just over 100 words contains the word “real” 10 times: “The great way is simple, but real work is essential. The new journey is an expedition full of glory and dreams, with no shortcuts, only real work. We must be down-to-earth, work hard, not indulge in empty talk, not chase empty fame; we must be earnest in learning, respect reality, not violate laws, not act blindly; we must seek truth and be pragmatic, focus on real results, not engage in superficial work, not show off flashy skills. Those who act often succeed, those who walk often arrive, history will not fail those who do real work. We have created a brilliant past through real work, and we will create an even better future through real work.”
Some comments believe that this important speech by President Xi Jinping at the 2023 Spring Festival gathering is a discourse on the “real” in the new era.
“Advocating real work and狠抓落实” is a distinctive feature of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, a key to decoding the historical achievements and transformations of the new era, and a directional guide for “creating new great undertakings through new great struggles” on the new journey.
China is a large country with over 1.4 billion people. “To develop, we must rely on our own hard work and real work.” The Chinese people have great dreams and possess the great spirit of enduring hardships and working hard to realize these great dreams.
“Chinese-style modernization is achieved through work, great causes are accomplished through real work!” The new era discourse on “real” encompasses belief, quality, method, and results.
