習近平回信勉勵普洱民族團結誓詞碑盟誓代表後代

發揚先輩光榮傳統更好續寫誓詞碑故事

讓民族團結的佳話代代相傳

新華社北京9月25日電 近日,中共中央總書記、國家主席、中央軍委主席習近平給普洱民族團結誓詞碑盟誓代表後代回信,對他們予以親切勉勵並提出殷切希望。

習近平指出,1951年,包括你們先輩在內的各族代表立碑盟誓,鄭重許下同心同德跟黨走的誓言。70多年來,各族群眾一心向黨、團結奮鬥,推動邊疆地區經濟社會發展取得歷史性成就,書寫了民族團結進步生動篇章。

習近平強調,中華民族是一個大家庭,五十六個民族就是相親相愛的一家人。希望你們發揚先輩光榮傳統,更好續寫誓詞碑故事,讓民族團結的佳話代代相傳。各族人民都要把中華民族共同體意識牢記心間、融入血液,共守祖國疆土、共建美好家園,讓民族團結進步之花越開越絢爛。

1950年,雲南普洱專區各族代表應邀到北京參加新中國成立一週年慶祝活動,受到毛澤東等黨和國家領導人親切接見。1951年元旦,普洱專區各族群眾舉行盟誓大會,以少數民族的風俗習慣立下誓詞碑,表示“一心一德,團結到底,在中國共産黨的領導下,誓為建設平等自由幸福的大家庭而奮鬥!”48名各族代表碑上簽名。近日,普洱民族團結誓詞碑盟誓代表後代給習近平總書記寫信,彙報當地各族群眾在黨的領導下過上幸福生活的情況,表達牢記誓言跟黨走、為民族團結和邊疆繁榮發展貢獻力量的決心。

Xi urges continuously promoting ethnic unity across generations

BEIJING, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasized the importance of continuing the endeavors to promote ethnic unity from generation to generation.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in a reply letter to descendants of the representatives from diverse ethnic groups who erected a monument in 1951 in southwest China's Yunnan Province and made a solemn pledge to stay united and follow the Party.

For over 70 years, people from all ethnic groups have stood in solidarity with the Party and worked in unity, making historic achievements in the economic and social development of border areas, Xi said in the letter.

Calling the Chinese nation "a big family where 56 ethnic groups love and care for each other," Xi stressed that people of all ethnic groups should sharpen the sense of community for the Chinese nation and work for greater ethnic unity and progress.

In 1950, representatives of different ethnic groups in Pu'er, Yunnan, were invited to Beijing to participate in celebrations marking the first founding anniversary of the People's Republic of China. On Jan. 1, 1951, the people of Pu'er held an oath-taking rally to put up the monument in accordance with their customs. A total of 48 representatives signed their names on the monument.

Their descendants recently wrote to Xi, providing an update on the lives of local ethnic communities under the Party's leadership.
