Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, after more than two months of continuous fighting, the arduous battle to defend Shanghai has achieved major milestones. Today, Shanghai has entered the stage of fully restoring normal production and living order.

This is a moment everyone has been waiting for. We would like to sincerely thank the vast number of medical personnel, disease control personnel, grass-roots cadres, community workers, sinking cadres, volunteers, public security police, urban supply service personnel, and journalists for their hard work day and night on the front line of the fight against the epidemic! Thanks to all relevant departments of the state, all fraternal provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and the people’s army for their all-out assistance to Shanghai! In particular, I would like to thank all Shanghai citizens for their support and dedication!

It was an unforgettable day. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the mega-city of Shanghai has been quiet like never before. Affected by the long-term lockdown, many citizens have encountered difficulties and inconveniences in work and life. We are as worried as everyone.

Facing unprecedented challenges, we have never shaken our confidence and determination to defeat the epidemic. This confidence and determination comes from the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, from the tenacious perseverance of the majority of front-line workers, and from every citizen who silently contributes to the city.

Since the outbreak of this round of epidemic, the whole city has been united and faced difficulties. The general public has united as one and helped each other. Everyone has cooperated in different ways and actively participated in various work of epidemic prevention and control. Watching and helping each other time and time again, showing the wisdom of the grassroots, enhancing the friendship between neighbors, and gathering together a joint force to overcome the difficulties. Many citizens took the initiative to volunteer, and took on a large amount of seemingly trivial but indispensable work with no fear of risk and hard work.

It is from everyone’s perseverance and dedication that we see the deep love of the citizens for the city, the spirit and character of the city of Shanghai, and the hope and strength to overcome difficulties and move towards victory. History will remember all those who stood and paid for this city!

At present, there is still no room for slack in consolidating the achievements of epidemic prevention and control, and the task of accelerating economic and social recovery is becoming more and more urgent. “The epidemic must be prevented, the economy must be stabilized, and development must be safe.” The general public needs to continue to provide understanding, support and cooperation, and contribute their wisdom and strength together.

We will make every effort to promote the full restoration of normal production and living order, and do our best to recover the time and losses caused by the epidemic. At present, 50 measures to speed up economic recovery and revitalization have been formulated, and various measures to relieve people’s worries and help enterprises are being implemented one after another. Public services such as public transportation and medical care will gradually return to normal. We will give more care to special groups such as the elderly, children, and pregnant women, and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of old communities, urban villages, and farmers’ markets. The work of party committees and governments at all levels will pay more attention to responding to the concerns of citizens and market players, and all measures will pay more attention to listening to the opinions of the grassroots and the front lines, releasing clear and clear signals, and reflecting a positive and positive orientation.

We will more firmly carry forward the urban spirit of “inclusiveness, pursuit of excellence, enlightened wisdom, and modesty” and the urban character of “openness, innovation, and inclusiveness”, and will firmly create a more resilient, safer and more attractive development environment. Firmly create an entrepreneurial living environment that encourages innovation, is livable and suitable for business, and is open and inclusive. Shanghai is our common city home, and we will redouble our efforts to give you more reasons to believe in Shanghai, take root in Shanghai, and love Shanghai.

We firmly believe that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, the whole city will think in one place, work hard, repack and move forward bravely, and we will surely usher in a comprehensive victory in the defense of Shanghai. , the city of Shanghai will surely regain its prosperous vitality and move towards a better future!
