CPC，I want to say something to you

曹心悦

On the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China，there are many things I would like to say to you. As a Chinese， I have come to learn about you gradually since I was young. My heart is full of deep respect and yearning for you. Since you were born， you have continuously inherited the Chinese spirit， and always maintained a firm pursuit to make efforts for the happy life of the whole Chinese people.

In 1921， you were born on the red boat on the South Lake，which has sailed for one hundred years， during which you led countless Chinese people to get rid of war and poverty. Chairman Deng Xiaoping once said， "If you don't advance， you will fall back." And your courage and willingness to sacrifice are the driving force that keeps us moving forward. Twenty-five thousand kilometers of the Long March road has thorns， snowstorm and rapids， it is you with your own faith that go through this extremely difficult road. It is your practical actions that have strengthened the cohesion of the Chinese people and aroused the morale of the Chinese people to win glory for the country. You have always upheld the purpose of serving the people， and solved numerous livelihood problems， such as the housing difficulties for the low-income families， the construction of medical security system， the establishment of national scholarships， grants and so on. Thanks to your meticulous care， we can enjoy the happy life. At the beginning of 2020， the whole country was confronted with a sudden epidemic of Covid-19， which spread with the fastest speed， the widest range of infection and the most difficult to eliminate since the founding of the People's Republic of China. You led the Chinese people to carry out a hard and great struggle and effectively controlled the spread of the virus through your efforts. Every preventive measure you took have made my anxious and nervous heart become calmer. The prevention and control measures and efficiency you have taken have been praised by various countries， and they all said they should learn from China.

In the future， there will be hundreds of years in China. I believe that you will lead countless Chinese people to perpetuate these fine qualities and spirit forever， and solve some problems that still exist one by one， so that our motherland will be more prosperous and powerful， be happier and healthier.
