——Southern Weekend 2019 New Year message

When the economic crisis brought a glimpse of mystery, when the cold wind blew the leaves and the snow came from the north, on the first day of the new year, let us listen to a long-standing voice. Today, ten years ago, this newspaper published the 1999 New Year's message "Let the powerless people be powerful and let the pessimists move forward." Today, when the Southern Weekend is dedicated to the road of journalism professionalism, this title is still the essence of our spirit. We strive to inherit its ambition and regard it as a great tradition. China has already passed the torrent of ten years, how many prosperous things have been paid, but this rumor still echoes every new year.
Therefore, today, let us meet in this simplest and beautiful spiritual tradition, let us draw strength in our hearts and find the most sincere faith. Let us move on, because this is our responsibility, because we are the backbone of society.
This is why at the time of the Wenchuan earthquake, whether we were at the scene or thousands of miles away, we felt the sorrow of the whole country; at the time of the Beijing Olympics, whether we were a middle class or a poor family, I have experienced the joy brought by the magnificent scene; at the time of the melamine milk powder incident, no matter whether we are parents or no children, we have taken the case and are angry. This is because China is a whole, and we have nothing to do with it. This is because we are the backbone of society, because when we ask ourselves, we find that our love for people is beyond doubt, and the love for the country is beyond doubt.
When we ask ourselves, our deep love for this country has given the answer to how to act.
This is why we not only praise the progress of the American family, but also criticize its imperfections; why do we hold the "truth" like holding a candle, and insist on an independent position in the group discussion; why if we can only emit fluorescing The light also has a lofty meaning.
That's why you buy this newspaper today, and it doesn't provide a profitable message or even a pastime.
This is because we are rational patriots. After the grief of the earthquake, I experienced the grand occasion of the Olympics. After 30 years of reform and opening up, we have grown into adulthood. When we meet on this news paper of the New Year, we are already the backbone of society.
At this time, let us recall that 30 years ago, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, our fathers were stunned by the blues. How complicated they have gone through and how long they have gone. Today, they ended their mission to the country, their hair was white, and they thought about how they and their peers created the world. Our children live in a better world than in the past. Have we ever thought that they have the right to live in a better world? Is there one day when they ask our story, we can say that we have not shirked our responsibility and donated the burden of history?
That's why we can't be cynics and can't complain that "it's unchangeable." This is why we are looking for the most ardent faith. This is why we look to the depths of history and recall that the country has gone around for more than a hundred years. Because we are the backbone of society.
The more we look to the depths of history, the more determined we are. Yes, we must support the common values ​​of human beings without any wandering. We support progress, democracy, freedom, human rights and support China's move towards modern civilization. We have recalled that more than a hundred years ago, the sages found that their own self-proclaimed national culture was not enough to save the country, so they buried their pains and crossed the ocean to seek the way to revitalize the country. Therefore, the West Wind is growing eastward, building a arsenal of the factory, building a school for the future, and building a newspaper to open up the people's wisdom. Therefore, Mr. De and Mr. Sai brought the revival light to this ancient country. At this end of this long history, we have thought about where the hope of this country comes from? We have thought about how to continue this hope so as not to miss the future of the country and the people?
This is why we insist on letting all kinds of social forces play a fair game. This is why we call on China's road to reform and opening up to transcend the interests of the group. That is why we support the continued deepening of reforms. This is why fairness and fairness are the goals we must achieve, no matter what happens; why the trend of the country’s rich and the poor needs to be completely reversed, no matter how complicated the work is to be done.
Everything is because the baton of history is already in our hands. We are the backbone of society, not because we are at a high position, not because we are rich, not because we are smart, no, we are not even better than any generation of Chinese, but we have this opportunity. We have an opportunity to make China better and we have a responsibility to make China better. We can't whisper each other, but we want to sing in a vocal manner. This song requires the common happiness of the country and people. It has come from more than one hundred years ago and reverberates today and today.
This is why we have to believe in our mission and let the powerless people be powerful and let the pessimists move forward. This is why we must understand the truth and not fall into a distorted world. This is why we can be calm, deep and firm when we talk about our love for the country.
That's why we don't follow the tide or the emptiness; that's why we want to be realists and ask for it.
Because on this continent, west of the Pacific Ocean, when the dawn of the New Year shrouds the earth, we are responsible to this country. When we saw its vast sky, we saw the incredible huge mountains and sloping land that had been broken by the earthquake, the bustling cities and the land that produced ancient grain, and came and went in this country. People who are immersed in dreams; when our children will be born, we will make a weak but bright cry in the night; we will know that nothing is more precious than a belief, and there has never been so much in any era. Difficulties, there are so many hopes
