Fellow Deputies,

Our goals spur us to action, and our tasks are daunting and onerous. Let us rally closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, take Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents as our guide, and thoroughly apply the Scientific Outlook on Development. Let us come together, forge ahead, work solidly, and strive to achieve new success in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and open up new vistas for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
