BEIJING, Feb. 14 -- President Xi Jinping, on behalf of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the State Council, extended Spring Festival greetings to all Chinese people Wednesday.

The Spring Festival, or the Lunar New Year, is regarded as the most important traditional festival for those of Chinese origin, characterized by family gatherings, feasts and performances. It falls on Feb. 16 this year.
The reception was presided over by Premier Li Keqiang. Other senior leaders, including Zhang Dejiang, Yu Zhengsheng, Zhang Gaoli, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng, also greeted the present 2,000 people.
HARD WORK IN NEW ERA
Xi encouraged Chinese people to work hard in the new era, saying happiness can only be earned by filling one's life with endeavors.
"There will be difficulties in our endeavor, but battling them will also purify our souls and strengthen our faith," said Xi.
Xi stressed that the great endeavor of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics will take generations, even dozens of generations, of hard work.
Those fighting in these efforts will be richest in spirit, and will have the most profound understanding of happiness, according to Xi.
