Uphold the Chinese spirit

To realize the "Chinese Dream" of national rejuvenation, as President Xi Jinping stressed at the first Session of the 12th National People's Congress, the country must carry forward the Chinese spirit, which combines the patriotism-centered national spirit and the spirit of the times that centers on reform and innovation, says an article in People's Daily. Excerpts:

Spiritual support is necessary for people, as it is for a nation to move forward. Material well-being of the people is not the only aim of socialism, because spiritual consummation is also needed to realize the socialist dream. So to realize the dream of national rejuvenation, China must achieve both material and spiritual prosperity.
