2022年2月，習近平總書記認真審閱有關同志的述職報告並提出重要要求：“要繼續發揚歷史主動精神，敢於鬥爭、善於鬥爭，乘勢而上、砥礪前行”，以實際行動迎接黨的二十大勝利召開。
In February, 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping read through senior officials’ reports on their work, and urged them to carry forward the spirit of historical initiative, be both brave and adept in carrying out struggle, take opportunities to forge ahead and greet the convocation of the upcoming 20th CPC National Congress with concrete action.
歷史主動精神，是時不我待的精氣神，是勇於擔當、敢於作為的鬥志，是奮發向上、永不滿足的勁頭。“清澈的愛、只為中國”的深情告白；“祝融”探火、“羲和”逐日、“天和”遨遊星辰；運動健兒激情飛揚、奮勇爭先；全國上下防控疫情堅決有力；受災群眾守望相助重建家園；人民解放軍矢志強軍、保家衛國……無數平凡英雄在歷史主動精神的激勵下拼搏奮鬥，在平凡中堅守、在平凡中作為，把平凡工作做到極致，以不平凡的業績為國家的發展作出了不可磨滅的貢獻。
The historical initiative is the spirit of losing no time,a keen sense of responsibility, and the striving spirit for new progress. Affectionate expression of "pure, true love saved for the motherland"; the Zhurong rover probing Mars, the Xihe satellite chasing the sun, and the Tianhe space station core module traveling among the stars; athletes outdoing themselves to excel on the sports field; the whole nation staying united in solid COVID-19 response; people in disaster-stricken areas standing together to rebuild their homes; members of the People's Liberation Army and Armed Police devoted to building a strong military and protecting our country...Inspired by the spirit of historical initiative, countless unsung heroes work hard on their ordinary posts and produce extraordinary achievements, which have made indelible contributions to national development.
今天，一幅幅日新月異的發展畫卷，一幕幕揮灑汗水的奮鬥場景，一項項舉世矚目的驕人成就，一切期盼與追求、探索與奮鬥、積累與創造，無不彰顯中國人民的創造偉力，展現出偉大的歷史主動精神。這種精神力量深沉厚重、自覺自信、積極能動、堅強有力，表達了中國人民的意氣風發、中華民族的朝氣蓬勃。
Today, the ever-changing development, the sweat and hard work, and the remarkable achievements,—all the expectations and pursuit, exploration and struggle, accumulation and creation testify the great creativity of the Chinese people, demonstrate the great spirit of historical initiative. This profound and strong spirit evokes our confidence and enhances our enthusiasm and initiative. It expresses the vigor and vitality of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation.
奮鬥者的前方沒有終點，只有新的起點。為實現偉大夢想，還需要繼續發揚歷史主動精神，迎難而上、開拓進取，堅定信心，抓住機遇，戰勝一切艱難險阻，乘風破浪、勇往直前。
For strivers, there is no end but new starting point.To realize our great dream, we should continue to carry forward the spirit of historical initiative, and forge ahead in the face of difficulties, seize opportunities with firm confidence. So that we will overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and break the waves and sail out for our journey ahead.
