Chinese netizens applaud CPC promotion video

Xinhua, February 9, 2015 Adjust font size:

Chinese netizens have given their seal of approval to a promotion video posted online, which is believed to advocating the Communist Party of China (CPC).

While praising its high production standards, many lauded its frankness and human touch.

The three-minute video, "The CPC Is With You Along The Way", features interviews with ordinary citizens about their dreams and aspirations, from "I want to start a diner" or "I want a pretty wife" to "I want a world free of wars".

"The 80 million members of the CPC, and the rest of the population, are working toward everyone's dream. For every dreamer to have a stage, and for every dream seeker to have an opportunity for success, to have the joy of a dream-come-true," the narrator said in English, with Chinese subtitles.

"We all have our own dreams, and 1.3 billion small dreams will form our Chinese dream," commented one Internet user yanquanlong.

"The video focuses on the people's happiness, and I really think it's good," wrote another user Bolandemai on popular microblogging service Sina Weibo.

While showcasing China's beautiful landscape, its heritage and urban sprawl, the video also featured the country's underdeveloped rural villages, polluting factories and traffic woes.

"[The country] is growing fast, but with development disparities. It's full of opportunities as well as untold challenges," the narrator explained.

The film ends with the words: "On the road chasing our dreams, we walk side by side, sharing weal and woe, transcending differences and shaping the future together. The Communist Party of China is with you along the way."

"It really shows confidence: No dodging problems, no pessimism. It makes the goal for which we are all striving clear," wrote one Weibo user.

"Although there are still things we don't like, as long as we make the effort, problems will eventually be solved. I love my country," said an entry posted by SQL_Jealous.

"The video is like magic. It turns the familiar into touching and uplifting scenes," said another user.

The video was produced by a studio called "On the road to revival." The studio has previously produced a video about how state leaders like President Xi Jinping become successful.

As of Monday afternoon, the video has been viewed over 1.3 million times on Youku, a popular Chinese video website.

Reposts by some public accounts at popular instant messaging service WeChat, or Weixin, have also accumulated over 100,000 clicks. Endi
