新年前夕，国家主席习近平通过中央广播电视总台和互联网，发表了二〇二三年新年贺词。The full text is as follows:

　　Hello, everyone!The year 2023 is just around the corner. From Beijing, I would like to extend my best wishes for the New Year.

　　In 2022, we successfully convened the 20th CPC National Congress, drew up a blueprint for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-style modernization, and sounded the trumpet of The Times for forging ahead on a new journey。

　　China will continue to maintain its position as the world's second largest economy with steady economic development, and its annual GDP is expected to exceed 120 trillion yuan。In the face of the global food crisis, China's grain production has achieved "nineteen consecutive abundant", and the Chinese people's rice bowls are more firmly held。We consolidated our achievements in poverty alleviation, comprehensively promoted rural revitalization, and adopted a series of measures, including tax and fee cuts, to ease the difficulties and difficulties of enterprises, and worked hard to address the urgent and pressing problems of the people。

　　Since the outbreak of the epidemic, we have always put people and lives first, adhered to scientific and precise prevention and control, optimized and adjusted prevention and control measures in light of the time and situation, and protected people's lives and health to the greatest extent possible。The broad masses of cadres and people, especially medical personnel and grassroots workers, are brave and persevering despite hardships。Through painstaking efforts, we have overcome unprecedented difficulties and challenges, which are not easy for everyone。At present, the epidemic prevention and control has entered a new stage, and it is still a time of great effort. Everyone is working hard and persevering, and the dawn is at hand。Work harder, perseverance is victory, unity is victory。

　　2022年，江泽民同志离开了我们。We deeply cherish his great achievements and noble style, and cherish the precious spiritual wealth he left behind。We must carry on his legacy and push forward the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era。

　　The long river of history is magnificent, and generation after generation has worked hard to create today's China。

　　Today's China is a country where dreams come true one after another。The Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games were successfully held, and the ice and snow athletes made remarkable achievements in the competition。Shenzhou 13, 14 and 15 relay took off, China's space station was fully completed, and our "space home" traveled to the sky。As the People's Army celebrates its 95th birthday, officers and soldiers are forging ahead on the great journey of building a strong army。The third aircraft carrier "Fujian" was launched, the first C919 large aircraft was officially delivered, and Baihetan Hydropower Station was fully put into operation.All this, condensation countless people's hard work and sweat。Little sparks, gathered into torches, this is the power of China!

　　Today's China is full of vitality。The pilot trade zones and the Hainan Free Trade Port have flourished, the coastal areas have made vigorous innovations, the central and western regions have accelerated development, the Northeast is ready for revitalization, and the border areas have revitalized and enriched the people。The Chinese economy has strong resilience, great potential and vitality, and the fundamentals for long-term growth remain unchanged。As long as we have confidence and seek progress while maintaining stability, we will be able to achieve our set goals。I went to Hong Kong this year and was very pleased to see that Hong Kong will be governed and revitalized。By firmly implementing "one country, two systems", Hong Kong and Macao will enjoy long-term prosperity and stability。

　　Today's China is a country of continuous national spirit。This year's earthquakes, floods, droughts, wildfires and other natural disasters and some safety accidents, let people worry, sad, but the scenes of sacrifice, mutual help touching, heroic deeds will always be remembered in our hearts。Every time we welcome the New Year, we will always remember the great spirit of the Chinese nation, which has been passed on for thousands of years, and increase our confidence in moving forward。

　　Today's China is closely connected with the rest of the world。In the past year, I have welcomed many old and new friends in Beijing, and I have also traveled abroad to share China's propositions。The century of change is accelerating, and the world is not peaceful。We have always cherished peace and development, always cherished friends and partners, firmly stood on the right side of history and on the side of human civilization and progress, and worked hard to contribute Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the cause of peace and development of mankind。

　　After the 20th National Congress of the Party, I went to Yan 'an with my colleagues to review the glorious days of the Party Central Committee's victory over the rare difficulties in the world during the Yan 'an period, and to understand the spiritual strength of the older generation of Communists。I always say, hardship, success。The journey of the Communist Party of China over the past hundred years has been both arduous and great。We must forge ahead and work hard to make tomorrow's China a better place。

　　Tomorrow's China, struggle to create miracles。There is a saying of Su Shi: "make the most difficult and map the most distant", which means "attack the most difficult and pursue the most ambitious goal".。Although the road is far, the line is coming;Hard as it is, it will be done。As long as there is the ambition of Yu Gong to move mountains, the perseverance of dripping water, down to earth, buried in hard work, the accumulation of steps and even a thousand miles, we will be able to turn the grand goal into a beautiful reality。

　　In tomorrow's China, strength comes from unity。As China is such a big country, different people may have different demands and views on the same issue. This is only natural. We need to build consensus through communication and consultation。If the hearts of the 1.4 billion-plus Chinese people want and work in the same direction, and if they work together in times of trouble and are united in their resolve, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished and no obstacle that cannot be overcome。The two sides of the Strait are one family。We sincerely hope that compatriots on both sides of the Straits will work together for the lasting well-being of the Chinese nation。

　　The hope of tomorrow's China is placed on the youth。When young people thrive, a country prospers, and China's development depends on the commitment of young people。Youth is full of vigor, youth gives birth to hope。The majority of young people should cultivate the feelings of home and country, cultivate the enterprising character, encourage youth with the attitude of struggle, live up to The Times and live up to the years。

　　At this moment, many people are still working hard and busy, everyone is working hard!The bell of the New Year is about to ring, let us welcome the first ray of sunshine in 2023 with a beautiful yearning for the future。

　　I wish the motherland prosperity, prosperity and peace!Wish the world peace, happiness and tranquility!Wish you all a happy and successful New Year!

　　谢谢！
