Only Through Down-to-Earth Efforts Can We Make Our Dream Come True
In his speech at the exhibition "The Path to National Renewal" on November 29, 2012, Xi Jinping said, "It is a glorious undertaking to make our dream of national renewal come true, but this is no easy task. It entails a commitment that spans generations. We cannot afford to indulge in empty talk; only through down-to-earth effort can we build a strong nation."
He later elaborated on the same idea on many other occasions, focusing on the importance of a down-to-earth approach to realizing our dream. Our happiness will not come to us by itself, and our dream will not become a reality by itself. The path to success is hard work. All Party members and officials at all levels and, indeed, all Chinese citizens should embrace a down-to-earth attitude and work hard towards our goals. The whole ethos of the society and hard work of the people that inspire and empower everyone to move forward is key to making the Chinese Dream come true, that is, building a moderately prosperous society and bringing about national renewal.
实干才能梦想成真
2012年11月29日，习近平在参观《复兴之路》展览时发表讲话指出，“实现中华民族伟大复兴是一项光荣而艰巨的事业，需要一代又一代中国人共同为之努力。空谈误国，实干兴邦”。此后的很多场合，他又多次强调这一理念。实干才能梦想成真，意在强调实干对梦想的重要性，因为幸福不会从天而降，梦想也不会自动成真。实干是成就任何事业的必由之路。实干既是对各级党员领导干部提的要求，也是对每一个普通的中国民众提的号召。因为中国梦的实现需要良好的社会风气，需要每一个中国人保持奋发向上的精神面貌，一如既往地发挥实干精神，脚踏实地地努力前行。唯此，全面建成小康社会才能实现，中华民族伟大复兴才能实现。
