Jing’an citizens inspired by Xi’s anniversary speech

Yan Zheng, a city labor model and Pengpu Town’s general practitioner

“It’s my honor that I could watch the grand ceremony and hear Xi’s speech right here in Tian’anmen Square. Red songs that we’ve heard so much were played at the scene, and I couldn’t help singing with performers. It’s such a special feeling. I have been working at the grassroots level for more than 20 years. Many bed-ridden elder residents give their keys to me to let me visit any time. They trust me. Today, President Xi called on us to learn from the past and create a better future. It really touched me. I will continue to devote myself to people.”

Bian Weitang, a Zhijiang Road W. Subdistrict resident who participated in experiments of the country’s atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb

“This year marks the 100th birthday of the Party. Red flags were fluttering on the Tian’anmen Square, and President Xi made an important speech. Such scene really lifted me up. I’m so glad to see our country is booming, in economy, military and science and technology. Back in the 1960s, it was totally a different story, when the Party was striving to lead the country to develop despite of political isolation, economic blockade and military threats. And we created a miracle by successfully developing atomic and hydrogen bombs. I believe that under the leadership of the Party, China will be sure to grow stronger and we will live a better life.”

Zhang Wei, a Zhijiang Road W. Subdistrict official awarded as “advanced individual” in the city’s anti-coronavirus battle

“Over the past century, under the leadership of the Party, the nation has undergone earthshaking changes. As aircrafts flew past in echelons overhead, I saw four giant banners reading: ‘Long Live the Great CPC! Long Live the Great China! Long Live the Great Chinese People! Long live the Great Unity of the Chinese People!’ It really heartened me! Last year, we stuck together to fight against the pandemic, with one heart and mind, representing our internal cohesion.”

Baimalongzhen, of Tibetan ethnic minority group, a Baoshan Road Subdistrict resident awarded as China’s “outstanding volunteer”

“The Party is like my mother, and I’m so happy to celebrate her birthday. I will continue to follow the Party and devote myself to people.”
