There is always a power that makes us burst into tears.

There is always a power that makes us burst into tears.

- 1999 Southern Weekend New Year message

This is the first day of the New Year. This is the 777th time we met you. I wish the sun is on your face.
The sun hits your face, and the warmth stays in our hearts. This is a normal day in winter. The leaves of the north have already fallen, the leaves of the south are still on the branches, people are lazily walking on the street, or rushing to run, everyone is holding their own minds. The final calendar of this century is being subtracted from one page, and nothing can make people feel impressed. Except for reality. People have ideals but also illusions. People have been comforted and humiliated. People no longer believe that others no longer believe in themselves. Fortunately, the years have made us deeply aware of the preciousness of "truth" - truth, truth, truth, which allows us to leave the utopia of Utopia and recognize the hypocrisy and deception. Although “real” is sometimes embarrassing, the real people facing the real people are mature people, and the people facing the real people are strong people.
Nothing can easily impress people, except for the horn of justice. When you face the helplessness of the ignorant, when you face the tyrannical wicked, when you face social injustice that affects people's lives, you will understand how much justice is needed and how much courage is needed for justice.
Nothing can easily touch people, except for inner love. Nothing can easily impress people, except for the way forward.
This is the first day of the New Year. As usual, we meet with you again, feeling for the lost year and preparing for the new year. I wish the sun is on your face.
The sun hits your face and the warmth stays in our hearts. There is a power that is flowing quietly at your fingertips, and there is a kind of care that is gently released from your eyes. At this moment, we are speechless, only blessings: let the powerless people force, let the pessimists move forward, let the go go, let the happy people be happier; and we are constantly cheering for you.
We are constantly cheering for you. Because your hope is our hope, because your suffering is our suffering. We watched you raise your hoe, we watched you dance the sickle, we watched you sweating, we looked at your valley full of granaries, we looked at you displaced, we looked at you crying, we looked at you in the middle of the water We watched you rebuild your home. We looked at you and got helpless. We watched you grit your teeth. We watched you rain, we watched you laughing and talking... We looked at you, we kept on You cheer because we are part of you.
There is always a power that makes us burst into tears. There is always a power that makes us feel energetic. There is always a power that drives us to constantly seek "justice, love, and conscience." This power comes from you and comes from everyone in you.
So, at this time, on the first day of the New Year, we have to say to you, to everyone around you, "Happy New Year!" I wish the sun is on your face because we have you.
The sun hits your face and the warmth stays in our hearts. Why do we always have tears in our eyes, because we love deep; why are we always energetic, because we love deep; why we always seek, because we love deep. Love this country, and her people, they are kind, they are upright, they know each other.
I wish the sun is on everyone's face.
