To officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force, militiamen and reservists; veterans of the Red Army, the families of service men and martyrs, disabled soldiers, veterans, and retired military cadres in the district,

On the occasion of the Chinese Lunar New Year, the CPC Luohu Committee, the Luohu District People's Government and the people of the district send you festive greetings and best wishes for the New Year!

2020 was an extremely unusual year in Luohu's development. Over the past year, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, Luohu has thoroughly implemented the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the CPC. It has followed the speeches and instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping during his inspection to Guangdong and Shenzhen, and his speech marking the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.

Over the past year, Luohu has maintained its composure, grasped opportunities, and tackled challenges. It has achieved success in COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control, while maintaining socioeconomic development. These achievements could not have been made without the powerful support and selfless contributions of the officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force, militiamen and reservists, veterans of the Red Army, the families of service men and martyrs, disabled soldiers, and soldiers who have changed jobs, demobilized and retired.

Over the past year, the troops stationed in the district followed the Party's command, were able to win battles and had an excellent style of work. They carefully fulfilled their missions in training and defense, protected our district and brought benefits to the entire community. They actively supported local socioeconomic construction and helped the district win the honorary title of a "model district for double-support work," meaning that our district is a model on how to support military personnel and their families. They also helped maintain social stability and alleviate poverty.

Facing the outbreak of the COVID-19, officers and soldiers strictly followed their orders and acted promptly, serving the overall fight against the virus. They made prominent contributions that allowed Louhu to prevent the spread of the epidemic within one month.

The region's Red Army veterans, retired military cadres, military families, disabled soldiers and military personnel who have changed jobs, demobilized or retired, have kept their true colors and made new contributions in different fields and on different fronts, adding new glory to the military flag and demonstrating profound revolutionary courage. Hence, you have our sincere thanks and deep respect.

The year 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, and the first year of the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) and the country's new journey of building a great modern socialist country. As always, we will continue to support the modernization of national defense and the military so as to meet the requirements of the double-support work in the new era. We believe that the military and localities should be united; that the military and the people should strive for the same goals; and that servicemen and women and their families' sense of gain and happiness should always be improved. Luohu will continue to support veterans as well, and strive to create a harmonious atmosphere of support and love for the military in the whole society. We will continue to consolidate and develop the great unity between the military and the people, so as to construct an all-embracing hub of the Greater Bay Area, and the revitalization and development of Luohu.

Standing at a new starting point, let us unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, remain true to our mission, and save time to make new progress, so as to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC with excellent work.

We wish you all a happy and healthy New Year, good work and a happy family!
