　　On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, the National Peoples Congress, the State Council, the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference and the Central Military Commission, I hereby pay tribute to all the revolutionary pioneers of older generations and martyrs who made great contributions to realizing national independence and liberation of the people, the countrys prosperity and strength and happy life of the people. I send warm congratulations to people from all ethnic groups in the country and patriotic compatriots from home and abroad, and express heartfelt thanks to the friends from other countries who care about and support Chinas development.

　　60年前的今天，中国人民经过近代以来100多年的浴血奋战终于夺取了中国革命的伟大胜利，毛泽东主席在这里向世界庄严宣告了中华人民共和国的成立。中国人民从此站起来了，具有5000多年文明历史的中华民族从此进入了发展进步的历史新纪元。

　　Sixty years ago on this day, the Chinese people achieved great victory of the Chinese revolution after more than one hundred years of blooded struggle. It was here that Chairman Mao Zedong solemnly declared to the world the founding of the Peoples Republic of China. At that moment, the Chinese people stood up and the Chinese nation with over 5,000 years of civilization began a new page of development and progress in history.

　　60年来，在以毛泽东同志、邓小平同志、*同志为核心的党的三代中央领导集体和党的十六大以来的党中央领导下，勤劳智慧的我国各族人民同心同德、艰苦奋斗，战胜各种艰难曲折和风险考验，取得了举世瞩目的伟大成就，谱写了自强不息的壮丽凯歌。今天，一个面向现代化、面向世界、面向未来的社会主义中国巍然屹立在世界东方。

　　In the past sixty years, with the three generations of Party leadership with Comrade Mao Zedong, Comrade Deng Xiaoping and Comrade Jiang Zemin as a core, and with the leadership of the Central Committee formed after the 16th National Congress of the CPC, with hard work and wisdom of all ethnic groups of the country, the Chinese people have joined hands to overcome the great hardship and made great contributions that have been recognized by the world, and proved our perseverance and endurance. Today, a socialist China is standing firm in the east as marching towards modernization, embracing the world and future.
