A "stable" finance and economy is the result of close cooperation and overall coordination between high-level and various decision-making departments. This is also the original intention of the financial committee.

When the customer heard the artist say that he recently admired a pair of walnut trinkets, though they haven’t even begun to talk about the purchase, the customer’s admiration arose, even though he did not understand what the artist had said. He was truly happy about the walnuts. After all, the walnuts had been admired by an artist, and the customer felt very blessed that the artist allowed him put in his own effort to get the walnuts for the artist (in exchange for the painting).

Here I represent the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the National People's Congress, the State Council, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the Central Military Commission, in paying the highest respects to all the veterans, the old comrades, patriots and the military officers who took part in the war against the Japanese, as well as to the sons and daughters of China here at home and overseas who made a big contribution to the victory in the Chinese People’s War Against Japanese Aggression! And to express sincere thanks to the foreign governments and international friends who supported or assisted the Chinese people in resisting the invasion! And we’d like to express an enthusiastic welcome to all the guests and army friends from countries around the world who have come to attend this event today!

First of all, whether it's a tender young thing, or a slightly older and more weathered person, if, however you try and tease it out of him, he remains aloof, don't expect to grind him down, we're not blacksmiths, just stop while the going is good.

That's right, it's a pity that young people these days are so passionate about Western coffee, and can't calm down enough to experience the beauty of tea ceremonies and the art of tea.

What was your original intention of becoming a host at the beginning?

It pains me that my comments were taken out of context by the media, but I would like to extend a heartfelt apology to any flood victims who felt hurt as a result. At the time, I was asking flood victims and rescue workers on the front line to come up with actual demands. I wasn't trying to use the flood victims and as a member of the local leadership. Of course I should stand shoulder to shoulder with the public and do something substantive for them.

As you grew up bit by bit, it excited and surprised us to the core.
