Hard work is the foundation to realizing the Chinese Dream, said an article in People's Daily (excerpts below).

Through their own efforts, the Chinese people have achieved remarkable economic growth and social development. The hard work is the spiritual foundation for the people's pursuit of a better life.

Similar inspiring stories happened in the United States and Germany when they enjoyed rapid growth.

No country can prosper if it depends solely on international aid or a virtual economy.

Developing countries should strive together to promote global governance and reform the existing international order, to make their people's hard work count.
