Xi Jinping’s Letter to the Undergraduate Students of Work Model of China University of Labor Relations
Comrades of work modeling undergraduate class at China University of Labor Relations:
My greetings to you! On the eve of the “May 1st” International Labor Day, I am very happy to receive your letter. You have made outstanding contributions to the development of our Party and country, and have been rated as model workers. Now you are studying again. This is a commendation for your hard work and selfless dedication, and is also the concern of our Party and country for workers.
Socialism is achieved through hard work, and the new era is also achieved through hard work. I hope that you will cherish the honor and study hard, continue to work hard in your own positions to achieve greater success, and use your enthusiasm, pioneering spirit and energy to inspire more people and motivate the masses of the working people to fight for the new era.
I have always stressed that labor is the most glorious, noblest, greatest and most beautiful. The whole society should respect worker models and carry forward the spirit of model workers so that honest labor and diligent work become common practice.
On the occasion of “May 1st” International Labor Day, I extend my holiday greetings to you, to all worker models throughout our country, and to the broad masses of workers throughout our country.
Xi Jinping
