September 1st, 1999.
The "Hope Daily" published an editorial - Carrying forward the past and opening a new era, creating the great cause of prosperity; carrying on the past and opening the splendid chapter of Huaxia.
The article pointed out that in the twenty years since the reform and opening up, our country's economy, society, culture, and science and technology have developed vigorously. Now, it has become an undeniable force in the world's diversity. Under the leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, we are closely united around the Party Central Committee with President Yuan as the core, pioneering and innovative, and contributing to the cause of socialism.
This article can be regarded as an affirmation of President Yuan's two terms in office, an acknowledgment, and at the same time, it is also the final preparation and a warm-up for the 15th National Party Delegates Congress to be held three days later.
