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. As the CPC embraces its centenary, a review of the Party's history proves that the Red Army's remarkable Long March profoundly changed the history of the Chinese nation. The Red Army spent the longest time and had its most extensive presence in Guizhou, leaving us with valuable spiritual wealth. The spirit of the Zunyi Meeting still has great significance for us embarking on a new journey toward fully building a modern socialist country under the leadership of the CPC today.
For this press conference, we have invited Ms. Shen Yiqin, secretary of the CPC Guizhou Provincial Committee and chairman of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Guizhou Province; Mr. Li Bingjun, vice secretary of the CPC Guizhou Provincial Committee and governor of the People's Government of Guizhou Province; and Mr. Lu Yongzheng, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Guizhou Provincial Committee and head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Guizhou Provincial Committee. They will brief you on issues related to "Guizhou: Carrying forward the spirit of Zunyi Meeting and embarking on a Long March of the new era" and answer your questions.
Next, I will give the floor to Ms. Shen.
