"Classics quoted by Xi Jinping" Episod 4: "Bitter sacrifice strengthens bold resolve, which dares to make the sun and moon shine in new skies."

“Bitter sacrifice strengthens bold resolve, which dares to make the sun and moon shine in new skies.” This is a quote by President Xi Jinping in the Chinese Spring Festival address which he made in 2018.

The quote is part of the well-known poem "Shaoshan Revisited" by Chairman Mao Zedong.

The word "dare" here is a perfect demonstration of the spirit of fearlessness and selfless dedication. And "to make the sun and moon shine in new skies" reflects the people's heroic deed of changing the world and accelerating history's evolution. Those who have played the main part in this great endeavor are the brave, selfless people, as well as the heroes that can be found all over the country. They are the spiritually rich, and those who can understand and enjoy happiness to the fullest.
