After 40 years of reform， opening up and development， China is standing in a “new era。” The ultimate goal of this period is the “great rejuvenation of the nation，” a blueprint set forth by Chinese President Xi Jinping， who plans to push his country forwards in a “new era” during which “no one must be left behind。”
In Xi‘s own words
“
中国特色社会主义进入了新时代。
Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era。
”
“
新时代要有新气象。
In this new context， we must get a new look。
更要有新作为。
And more importantly， make new accomplishments。

俗语说，百闻不如一见。
As the saying goes： “It is better to see once， than to hear a hundred times。”
我们不需要更多的溢美之词。
We do not need lavish praise from others。
我们一贯欢迎客观的介绍和有益的建议。
However， we do welcome objective reporting and constructive suggestions。
正所谓，不要人夸颜色好，只留清气满乾坤。
For this is our motto： “Not angling for compliments， I‘d be content that my integrity fills the universe。”
