Print Edition
The speech delivered by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China, at a ceremony marking the centennial of the CPC at Tian鈥檃nmen Square in Beijing yesterday morning, inspired both people participating in the ceremony and those watching it on TV in Shanghai.
Dr Zheng Junhua from Shanghai鈥檚 Renji Hospital is one of the medical delegates who traveled to Beijing. He is the leader of the first medical team that supported Wuhan, the initial epicenter of COVID-19.
鈥淚 felt so excited while witnessing the ceremony. President Xi Jinping鈥檚 speech greatly lifted our confidence to offer high-end health service to patients and improve Shanghai鈥檚 medical capabilities to build it into a leading medical center in Asia,鈥 he said.
Dr Chen Erzhen from Ruijin Hospital said Party members should take a leading role.
鈥淎s a doctor, I will work harder to solve patients鈥 suffering. As a hospital official, I will improve my hospital management ability. As a teacher, I will devote more to help cultivate more medical students. And as a Party member, I will follow the Party鈥檚 lead and offer my efforts for the Healthy China Plan,鈥 Chen said.
Party members working in the financial hub of Lujiazui gathered on the 22nd floor of Shanghai Tower to watch it.
Three photos showing Xi鈥檚 visit to the site on November 6, 2018, were hung as a backdrop.
He Ya鈥檔an from Shanghai Tower was on the verge of tears when she heard Xi say that Chinese people would never allow any foreign force to bully, oppress or enslave us.
鈥淧eople who have been making contributions to the nation for the past century are a beacon for us. We are willing to hear from the world, but we are not afraid of any power,鈥 He said. 鈥淚 have been a Party member for 15 years. I can feel how great the Party is from my own experience.鈥
The Pengpu Xincun Subdistrict in Jing鈥檃n District also organized local officials and workers to watch Xi鈥檚 speech. Yan Zheng, a city labor model and the subdistrict鈥檚 general practitioner, said he was very touched by Xi鈥檚 words.
鈥淚 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,鈥 he said. 鈥淚 will continue to devote myself to people.鈥
Chen Haiqing, director of the Gucun Police Station in Baoshan District 鈥 which was awarded by the Party for its excellent work under its Party organization a few days ago 鈥 was among the audience for Xi鈥檚 speech yesterday. He said the speech inspired police officers at the grassroots level to be exemplary in serving the people.
鈥淲e will always strive to make people feel served with justice in dealing with all cases and all requests,鈥 he said.
Li Yong, director of the Xintiandi Police Station in Huangpu District, which is in charge of the safety of the first national congress of CPC site and memorial, said Xi鈥檚 speech inspired him to live up to his role as a guardian of the cradle of the Party.
This police station also serves the popular Xintiandi shopping district, office buildings with international companies and a large number of residents from China and overseas.
鈥淚 will keep my spirits high to serve the people here and keep them safe, always putting people first,鈥 Li said.
At Fudan University, faculty and students watched the live broadcast of the ceremony in dormitory rooms, conference halls and the former residence of its late president Chen Wangdao, which is now an exhibition hall of The Communist Manifesto, as he was the first to translate the full text of the masterpiece into Chinese.
Chen Zhenxin, son of the translator and educator, watched the ceremony with students who are voluntary guides at the house, now the exhibition hall.
鈥淚鈥檓 excited to watch the ceremony at my former home,鈥 he said.
鈥淚n the past 100 years, the Party has grown from the initial 50 some members to the current over 95 million staffers, and it has established a new China and led the country and its people to grow prosperous and strong. The process is not easy. As one of the earliest members, my father had strived with other fellow members to save the country, and I think he must be very happy to see its development in the past century, which has been summarized by General Secretary Xi in his speech.鈥
Some expats in Shanghai also joined their Chinese fellow citizens in watching the ceremony.
Nusrat Marat from Australia is a member of the Hongqiao Friendship Alliance and an 鈥渆xcellent volunteer鈥 in local community.
He told Shanghai Daily yesterday, 鈥淐hina鈥檚 development and changes have been irrefutable, because the country has a ruling party that does everything for the people. The Communist Party of China has formed its own unique model and successfully provided the world with an advanced economic model full of vitality.鈥
