The First National Conference on Reading was held in Beijing on Saturday. Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, sent a congratulatory letter to the conference.

第一届全国阅读大会于周六在北京举行。中国共产党中央委员会总书记、中央军委主席习近平主席向大会致以贺信。

Reading is an important avenue for humans to acquire knowledge, expand wisdom and cultivate virtues, Xi noted. It enlightens us and helps us aim high and stand upright. Since ancient times, the Chinese people have advocated reading and stressed the acquisition of knowledge through studying the nature of things and rectification of mind through thinking with sincerity. Reading helps the Chinese people to carry on the traditional spirit of perseverance and shape their character of self-confidence and self-reliance.

席是人类获取知识、拓展智慧、培养美德的重要途径。它启发我们，帮助我们高瞻远瞩，挺身而出。自古以来，中国人就提倡读书，强调通过研究事物的本质来获取知识，通过真诚的思考来矫正心灵。阅读有助于中国人发扬坚忍不拔的传统精神，塑造自信自立的性格。

Xi called on Party members and officials to take the lead in reading and learning, foster virtues and ideals and improve abilities. He hoped that all children will have a habit of reading, enjoy reading and grow up in a healthy way. He also expressed a wish that all Chinese people are engaged in reading and contribute to an atmosphere where everyone loves reading, has good books to read and knows how to gain from reading.

习近平呼吁党员干部带头读书、学习，培养德行和理想，提高能力。他希望所有的孩子都有阅读的习惯，喜欢阅读，健康成长。他还表示，希望所有中国人都投身于阅读，为营造人人热爱阅读、有好书可读、知道如何从阅读中获益的氛围做出贡献。

Huang Kunming, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, read Xi's congratulatory letter and delivered a speech at the conference. He said the letter fully demonstrated that the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to fostering people's love of reading and a culture of reading in the country. We must study Xi's important instructions conscientiously and put them into practice, Huang said. He called for efforts to encourage reading, create a trend of reading, and set up a system to promote reading in both urban and rural areas. The reading campaign should be extended to cover as many people as possible, while reading should help people learn and improve themselves, said Huang, who added that fostering a culture of reading will help strengthen and enrich the Chinese culture, so as to inject strong impetus into the new journey to fully build a modern socialist China in the new era.

中共中央政治局委员、中宣部部长黄坤明宣读了习近平的贺信，并在会上发表了讲话。他说，这封信充分表明，中共中央高度重视培养全国人民热爱阅读的精神和阅读文化。黄说，我们必须认真学习习近平的重要指示，并付诸实践。他呼吁努力鼓励阅读，创造阅读趋势，并建立一个促进城乡阅读的体系。黄坤明说，阅读活动应该扩大到尽可能多的人，而阅读应该帮助人们学习和提高自己。他补充说，培养阅读文化将有助于加强和丰富中国文化，从而为新时期全面建设社会主义现代化中国的新征程注入强大动力。
