Dear overseas Chinese:

Time 荏苒, the years are like shuttle. Since April 2013 as the Chinese ambassador to the United States, I have been working in the United States for more than eight years in a blink of an eye, and will leave the country recently.This is the longest term in my diplomatic career. I have experienced many historic incidents, met a lot of enthusiastic and friendly friends, and left me a lot of unforgettable memories.

On the occasion, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the majority of overseas Chinese in the United States for their care and support for my work!I clearly remember that In April 2013, after I was new, dozens of overseas Chinese communities held a grand welcome banquet for me. It was the first large -scale event I attended after I arrived in Washington.I clearly remember that every New Year's Eve, I sit around with overseas Chinese leaders, listen to your in -depth observation of the United States, and contribute suggestions for the development of Sino -US relations.I clearly remember that every time the Chinese leader visited the United States, wherever he went, he was welcomed by overseas Chinese.I clearly remembers that every time I am ancestral (national) country suffering from disasters and danger, overseas Chinese have no idea and generously donate.I especially remember that for many years, overseas Chinese have lived overseas, and they are in a mulberry. They have worked unremittingly to promote mutually beneficial cooperation between China and the United States and the common people's hearts, and have a firm voice to promote the unity of the motherland and defend the national dignity.

In a few days, we will usher in the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Communist Party of China. Looking back at history, the Chinese children have achieved rejoicing from historic achievements from standing up, getting rich to strengthening.The generation of overseas Chinese has always adhered to the patriotic tradition, and has never been absent in every period of the Chinese revolution, construction, and reform. It has made important contributions to the independent liberation of the Chinese nation and has made an important contribution to the prosperity and development of China. Looking forward to the future, China has opened a new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modern country, which provides a broader and better prospect for the development of the majority of overseas Chinese.With everyone's efforts, we have gathered into a majestic force to make a unique contribution to the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.It is hoped that the majority of overseas Chinese will continue to feel the heart, unite with Chinese children at home and abroad, and create a better future for the Chinese nation!

In the 42 years of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the relationship between the two countries has achieved historic achievements, and the interests of the two countries have long been closely blended.With the advantages of Chinese and Western and Western in the United States, it has become a folk messenger in China and the United States. The current Sino -US relations are at the key crossroads. The United States' policy on China is experiencing a new round of reconstruction, facing choices between dialogue cooperation and confrontation conflict. At this moment, in the U.S. overseas Chinese shoulderser more important responsibilities and mission, I hope you will start from defending your own survival and development of rights and interests in the United States.Starting from the world's peace, stability and prosperity, and continue to be a firm promoter and active contributor to the healthy and stable development of Sino -US relations.

At home, the world is neighbor.I will always cherish the deep friendship that the United States will form with all the overseas Chinese.Finally, I sincerely wish everyone good health, happy family, good luck!
