北欧绿色邮报网报道：中国国家主席习近平最近通过人民日报和中新网和新华网报道，走访农村，给老百姓拜年，也给全国人民拜年。

他亲自到百姓家里去看老人，看小孩，掀开锅盖看看老百姓吃的什么饭，穿的暖不暖，那一幕幕真的很令人感动。习主席也是一个不带任何口音，说话非常标准，字正腔圆的中国国家主席。老一辈革命家都是带着浓重的地方口音，即使说话，一般人也是听不懂。而习主席的话，还有前任胡主席的话都是标准的普通话。中国地大物博，人口众多，56个民族加上不同地方的口音，真是五花八门。各种语言并存。但同时，几乎每个人都会说普通话。

笔者1月28日回到老家锦州，在那里呆了两个星期，先后三次到地藏寺和班吉塔。班吉塔在建设中。车道现在修好了。从锦州到班吉塔，一路都是好路，中间还加了隔离线。

路两旁的倒垂柳非常好看。最后一次是跟我侄子一起去看的。他说他也喜欢到农村玩儿。前些日子，他到朝阳去玩儿了一圈，自驾游玩。深感朝阳的道路越来越宽广。那里的路都是新的。

说着我们离家很近了，原来，去郭家窝棚的路都修成了水泥路面，去小寺的路也修成了水泥路面。田地已经被铲平，这里要建一大片湿地公园。

回到家，我一看，陈刚两口子一人一辆轿车，陈强一辆，给他爸爸一辆，两辆三轮车，皮卡，一个摩托车。轿车真的成了每个家庭的标配。

这不就是共同富裕吗？家家有房，家家有车。人人都有钱。还想怎样啊？对，他们还想带薪休假，还想出去旅游，尤其是出国旅游。不旅游，他们总是觉得国外好。旅游一圈儿回来还是觉得自己的国家好，自己的家乡好。自己的小家更好。

今天是马年大年初一，我在这里祝大家马年大吉，一马当先，马到成功，马年福至，身体健康，万事如意。

南非前总统纳尔逊曼德拉是属马的。在铁窗里呆了27年，他每天锻炼身体，做八十个俯卧撑。如今乌克兰总统泽连斯基也是属马的，1978年的马，也是条宁折不弯的钢铁硬汉。有时历史就是由这些有性格的人造就的。如果他是一个审时度势的人，让乌克兰免于灾难，可能事情就是另一番风景。但是，性格决定命运，这也是没有办法的事。

祝大家马年吉祥，马年顺利，马上发财，马上有钱。万事如意，心想事成。

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!
