"A country as big as ours should be ambitious."
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward a higher goal for China’s development, formed a strategic arrangement from building a well-off society in an all-round way to basically realizing modernization and then building a socialist modernized power in an all-round way, and issued the strongest voice for realizing the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The supreme leader said a popular truth — — "Great dreams are not to be waited for or shouted, but to be spelled out and done."
The nine "must persist" are the comprehensive and meticulous arrangements of the supreme leader for the reform and opening up journey in the new era.
First, we must uphold the party’s leadership over all work and constantly strengthen and improve the party’s leadership.
Second, we must persist in taking the people as the center and constantly realize people’s yearning for a better life.

From "Although Zhou was an old country, its destiny was reformed" and "If the world was governed differently, it would be illegal for the country to be ancient" to "Great Harmony in the World" and "Harmony in All Nations", and then to "Heaven is strong, the gentleman strives for self-improvement, and the terrain is rich, and the gentleman carries things with virtue", the Chinese nation continues to move towards the future with the attitude of reform and opening up, which has a far-reaching historical origin and a profound cultural foundation.
Rooted in the deep soil of Chinese civilization, the supreme leader told the present from the past and encouraged the whole party and people of all nationalities. "Building a socialist modern power and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is a relay race. We must run one after another, and every generation must run a good result for the next generation."
