From the winter Olympic athletes who have been training hard for ten years, to the aerospace workers who have been sitting on the bench and have been silently giving, from the vast number of poverty alleviation cadres who have been working all night and selflessly, to everyone who is fighting for their own happiness in the fight once morest poverty. Folks… They have integrated their personal struggles into the construction of the country’s majestic building brick by brick. While participating in the creation of a great era, they are also creating their own beautiful life.
Longing for happiness is human nature. From the avenue to simplicity, hard work is the key.
