Chen Wenjun:

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Welcome to this press conference held by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC. As we review how the CPC Central Committee and Chairman Mao deployed and commanded in Xibaipo the three major campaigns (Liaoshen, Huaihai and Pingjin Campaigns), we can still hear the sonorous historical steps of securing a nationwide victory in liberating the whole country and then establishing the new China. In Xibaipo, Comrade Mao Zedong put forward the "two musts," that is, comrades must be taught to remain modest, prudent and free from arrogance and rashness in their work style; comrades must be taught to preserve the style of plain living and hard work. Meanwhile, the CPC Central Committee emphasized important rules including "strengthening Party discipline." All of them are still of great significance for us to advance Party building; strengthen our consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership; uphold General Secretary Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and uphold the Party Central Committee's authority and its centralized, unified leadership; and observe the Party's fundamental purpose of wholeheartedly serving the people.

For this press conference, we have invited Mr. Wang Dongfeng, secretary of the CPC Hebei Provincial Committee and chairman of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Hebei Province; Mr. Xu Qin, vice secretary of the CPC Hebei Provincial Committee and governor of the People's Government of Hebei Province; and Mr. Zhang Zheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Hebei Provincial Committee and head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Hebei Provincial Committee. They will brief you on issues related to "Hebei: Carrying forward the Xibaipo Spirit and rising to challenges in the new era" and answer your questions.

Next, I will give the floor to Mr. Wang.
