Beijing, Feb. 17(Greenpost): Today comes Chinese New Year of Horse. According to Chinese lunar calender, today is the first day of the horse year. It is well-known that horse is a friendly and capable animal all over the world. Not only the Chinese like horses, but also the Europeans including Swedish like horses because the horse used to be the main transport tool before industrialization came into being.
Last horse year was on Feb. 14, 2014. This year it fell on Feb. 17th. But right after this, the spring season will start, farmers will start to grow crops.
Thus, there is a saying that the year of horses or cows it will be easier to grow crops, there will be good harvest. Therefore, many babies are born during these years.
It indeed will bear a lot of good babies, such as late African leader Nelson Mandela, currently Ukrain president Zeliansky. They are persistant, obstinate and determined. They are not easy to surrender. Mandela stayed in the prison for 27 years, in the end it was the white authority surrendered and set him free.
Almost everybody saw Zeliansky as a little leader and should compromise easily. Yet he proved to be strong and never surrender. We shall see what would happen next, but history usually was written by men.
During the year of horse, a lot of things will happen. I will become a book reader this year and take that as my professional goal.
I also hope that my book can be published this year at my age of 60.
I also wish all my relatives and brothers and sisters and friends have a wonderful year of horse. To be healthy, wealthy and all the best!
Beijing, January 27(Greenpost) — Just read an article in Dagensindustri written by Wan Degang, Charge D’affair of Chinese Embassy in Stockholm.
In Beijing, Finland Prime Minister is still in China for a four day visit while British Prime Minister and Canadian Prime Minister have visited Beijing recently.
It is unprecedented that so many western leaders visit China at this time. Those who studied Chinese diplomacy know that at the beginning of the year, Chinese Foreign Minister always visited Africa. This has been a tradition showing China’s emphasis on African relations.
But this year, Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders have met many European leaders and Canadian Prime Minister.
This means the international relations are changing a lot. In particular after the Davos Forum.
This is a good phenomenon. This shows the new world order.
China has been the stablization stone of the world. China has played its big power role to mediate between Russia and Ukrain. Many westerners didn’t believe China’s neutral position. Yet China indeed became one important pole in the world to avoid a third world war.
China has also been an accelerator of the world economy. Without China’s production as the world factory, the world economhy will also be severely impacted.
China has been concentrated its plans to eliminate poverty and let all Chinese people to live a well-off life.
Nowadays, especially this year, China’s real estate industry somewhat stablized, Stockmarket is surging up to over 4000 points and the trade is picking up. As a researcher from famous university said, car has become a standard commodity for Chinese families. Many families have more than one house or apartment and more than one cars. Almost everyone has an electric bike and the real bike in the city is just a tool for short distance.
China’s transportation has become the best in the world. You can take airplane and high-speed train to anywhere and fast train is still existing for those who wanted to travel a bit cheaper and longer.
No one is homeless. No one has no way to travel. Travel in China is very convenient. Nowadays people at every corner of China can enjoy good food, fruits and fresh vegetables and meat at any time. In the past people in the north couldn’t eat many fresh vegetables or fruits. Now even Dandong can produce good strawberries.
Many Chinese can eat the Liulian, a rare fruit and passion fruits.
All kind of beautiful clothes, shoes and hats are produced and sold in China all year round. People can travel anywhere to have holidays.
Many 60 70 even 80 year olds go to Hainan, Yunnan and even Thailand to have holidays and sightseeings.
Many places in China have provided good healthy life communities for elderly people.
China has been learning from Europe especially welfare countris in nordic region, but China also adapts policies to the local situation. China and Europe have a lot in common and a lot for mutual complementality.
With more contacts between the big leaders, hopefully the business will be done between the two sides and friendship can be established and a new era begins to pave the way for bilateral and multilateral cooperation for a better future.
There are more chance for cooperation. Lets keep the difference and seek more cooperation.
China has entered a new era and there will be more common ground for the two sides.
As long as the two side keep good political relations, economic, trade, culture and sports relations and environmental cooperation will follow suit.
BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Green’post) — Summing up tangible progress in 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping urged solid steps to write a new chapter in the story of China’s miracle in his 2026 New Year message on Wednesday evening.
Noting that the year 2026 marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan, Xi said on New Year’s Eve that a successful venture should start with a good plan, and with clear goals set, calling for efforts to promote high-quality development, further deepen reform and opening up across the board, and deliver prosperity for all.
“We should focus on our goals and tasks, boost confidence, and build momentum to press ahead,” Xi said.
SOLID ADVANCES IN 2025
As the year 2025 marks the completion of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan for economic and social development, Xi hailed that the country has met the targets in the plan and made solid advances on the new journey of Chinese modernization.
“Our economic strength, scientific and technological abilities, defense capabilities, and composite national strength all reached new heights,” Xi said.
Describing this year as one that is full of indelible memories, Xi said that the country commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and established the Taiwan Recovery Day, rallying a mighty force for national rejuvenation.
Xi highlighted that China sought to energize high-quality development through innovation, turning itself into one of the economies with the fastest growing innovation capabilities.
The Chinese people endeavored to nurture their spiritual home with cultural development, as there was a surging public interest in cultural relics, museums, and intangible cultural heritage, and the Chinese culture is shining in even greater splendor, Xi added.
The president said that the Chinese people joined hands to build a better life and enjoyed it together.
“No issue of the people is too small; we care for every leaf and tend every branch in the garden of people’s well-being,” he said. “When the happy hum of daily life fills every home, the big family of our nation will go from strength to strength.”
EMBRACING THE WORLD
In the New Year message, Xi said that over the past year China continued to embrace the world with open arms.
To better address climate change, China announced new Nationally Determined Contributions, Xi said, adding that after announcing the three global initiatives on development, security, and civilization, he put forward the Global Governance Initiative to promote a more just and equitable global governance system.
“China always stands on the right side of history, and is ready to work with all countries to advance world peace and development,” Xi said.
CHINA’S REUNIFICATION UNSTOPPABLE
“We Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share a bond of blood and kinship. The reunification of our motherland, a trend of the times, is unstoppable,” Xi said.
On Hong Kong and Macao, Xi said the policy of “one country, two systems” should be unswervingly implemented and the two special administrative regions be supported to better integrate into the overall development of the country and maintain long-term prosperity and stability.
PARTY SELF-GOVERNANCE
“Only a strong Communist Party of China can make our country strong,” Xi said in the message.
The Party exercised strict self-governance through credible measures, and promoted self-revolution to fight corruption and advance healthy governance.
“As a result, the conduct of our Party and government steadily improved. We must stay true to our original aspiration and founding mission, and pursue our goal with perseverance and dedication,” Xi said. ■
Our wedding was held on December 2, 2006. Our daughter was born on Dec. 8, 2007.
That morning we got up at 6 in the morning. After making up and wearing my wedding dress, we took a taxi to Galleria in Stockholm downtown center. We went up to Olsson photograph shop and took our wedding photo.
After that we came down and went into the taxi. Outside it was still raining.
We went to Uppsala against the rain.
Upon the Loten Church door, I saw all the guests and our pastor have been there. At that moment, I thought I would announce my wedding to people all over the world.
Then when we went in, I saw Jan’s tears falling.
We went to the front of our pastor.
He asked me, Do you like to marry him no matter he is poor or rich, healthy or having disease, I said yes, I do.
He also asked him, Do you like to marry her no matter she is poor or rich, healthy or having disease. He said yes I do.
Then we exchange rings.
After the wedding, Eva-lena spread rice to me to wish us happiness.
We went to a restaurant which was establish in the 14th Century. It served Christmas Buffet. Christmas Buffet is very popular in December. The second is called Advent or the beginning of the Christmas month.
There were all kinds of sausages, salmon, turkey, fish, soup, bread, cheese and butter and honey. It was wonderful with many sallad too.
After the banquet we went to a meeting room to eat wedding cake.
Christina hosted the wedding cake ceremony. Before this we also watched a performance for Advent.
Everyone talked a little bit about me and relationship with me.
And then we concluded. The next day we went to Tennarifa in Spain to have our honey moon.
