Dear friends:
The first ray of sunshine in the new year is shining on the world. The new year is also the year of the tiger in the Chinese lunar calendar. I wish you good luck and vitality in the Year of the Tiger in Beijing!
In 2021, the Communist Party of China celebrated its centennial. From more than 50 people a hundred years ago to more than 9000 million party members today, the Communist Party of China has led the people to create a Chinese miracle that has changed the world. Entering a new era, under the personal command of President Xi Jinping, this country with a 1.4 billion population has built a well-off society in an all-round way, and has historically solved the problem of absolute poverty that has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years. As a loyal recorder of the great era, over the past year, China Central Radio and Television has meticulously created a large number of masterpieces, such as "dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky", "get rid of poverty" and "the well-off of the people". It has left a "great image biography" for the struggle of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people, and interpreted to the international community the "inner gene" of the CPC's evergreen ". A month ago, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese people's foreign broadcasting industry, President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the main station, encouraging us to actively tell Chinese stories, spread the voice of China, and create a world-class new mainstream media with strong leadership, communication and influence. We will continue to work towards this goal!
Ancient Chinese sages said, "Difficulties and hardships, jade Ru Yu Cheng". The world today is far from peaceful, but our pursuit of peace, development and happiness has never stopped. "China in the Story", "China in the Classics", "China Geographical Names Conference" and so on produced by the main station record the deep and solid history of China and the beautiful and real life of the people. "National Park", "Olympics in Art", etc., depict the moving scenes of "Beautiful China" and "Healthy China" in the new era; the global live broadcast of the "Space Teaching" of the Chinese space station has lit up the dreams of countless young people to explore the mysteries of the universe. Sixteen Yunnan elephants moved north and south for more than half a year. The main station CGTN, CCTV frequency, CCTV news new media and other continuous tracking, broadcast more than 7000 hours of live video, triggering a global audience to view the "elephant" fever.
Based on the facts, this is the global media people's basic rules. This year, we insisted on promoting fairness and justice with truth. In the face of the false "global anti-epidemic ranking", we organized three rounds of "global netizen opinion survey questionnaire" to clarify the truth and distinguish right from wrong, which was echoed and recognized by hundreds of millions of overseas netizens. In the report on the situation in Afghanistan, the exclusive video sent by the main station from the scene uncovered the dark curtain of individual countries' abuse of force and disregard for human life, and became an important source of information for the global media. We will continue to uphold the professional principles of responsible media and strive for the pursuit of truth and disclosure of truth! I hope our Western counterparts will jointly cherish the media reputation! Let the truth replace political self-interest, racial discrimination and ideological prejudice, and work together to promote the construction of an objective, fair, positive and healthy international public opinion ecology.
Those who are ambitious do not take mountains and seas as far away. Over the past year, the "circle of friends" at the front desk has grown larger and larger. We have exchanged more than 600 letters with international media colleagues and friends, and met face-to-face and "cloud" more than 20 times. We work together to build a diversified, inclusive, equal and mutual trust media partnership mechanism. Candid and warm media exchanges have built bridges of trust, and enthusiastic calls and letters have inspired us to do better. Thank you for your trust!
In this era when everything is possible, we are embracing media change with the style of "elephants must learn to dance street dance. At the Tokyo Olympics, the main station successfully realized the world's first 4K ultra-high definition channel Olympic event live broadcast. The world's first 4K ultra-high definition Olympic channel has reached more than 0.4 billion audiences in the three months since its launch. In more than 30 days, on the occasion of the Chinese New Year of the Tiger, the Olympic flame will be lit again in Beijing. Through the technical support of "5G 4K/8K AI", the main station has set up a live carriage on the high-speed rail from Beijing to Zhangjiakou Benz, which is also the first time in the world to solve the technical problem of ultra-high-definition video capture and broadcasting of high-speed rail trains. We welcome colleagues from all over the world to enjoy together and jointly present a wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding Beijing Winter Olympics to the world.
Tiger roars green mountains thousands of miles brocade, the wind blows green willow million home spring. In the new year, the Communist Party of China will hold its 20th National Congress to draw a blueprint for China's future. With the spirit of excellence, meticulousness and perfection, we will meticulously produce more high-quality programs, present the infinite vitality of China in the new era to the international community from multiple perspectives, and contribute the power of the media to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Once again bless you, bless the world!
