The year 2025 has opened a brand new chapter. On the morning of January 2nd, the members of Changlei Law Firm gathered together to mark the beginning of this new journey. The team first collectively watched and studied President Xi Jinping's 2025 New Year Address, followed by a sharing session where members expressed their thoughts, reflections, and wishes for 2025, sending their most sincere blessings to the motherland, the firm, and their colleagues.
Managing Partner Liu Changlei
"General Secretary Xi's New Year Address is rich in content and worth savoring for every son and daughter of China. Listening to it again, I heard the surging voice of time. Looking back at 2024, the coordinates of struggle were particularly striking; a series of moments were frozen in this extraordinary year, leaving us with deep emotion and unforgettable memories. Looking ahead to 2025, the General Secretary's tone was calm yet full of power, firming our confidence in long-term perseverance—'We have always grown through the baptism of storms and strengthened through trials.' The General Secretary highlighted the potential and momentum of China's economy accumulating strength for a breakthrough. I applaud the hardcore technology that inspires people and stirs dreams."
In the address, the General Secretary offered warm blessings for a better life, calling on everyone to work together to "bring more smiles and warmth to people's hearts," wishing everyone that "all wishes come true, with much joy and lasting peace." I wish all Changlei members physical and mental health, happy striving, and abundant harvests.
Party Branch Secretary Ye Ping
"The General Secretary summarized some of the major events of China in 2024 in a familiar and accessible way, and then led everyone to look forward to 2025. Two points in the address impressed me the most. First, 'Though dreams are distant, they can be reached if pursued; though wishes are difficult, they can be fulfilled if upheld.' The Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can certainly be realized as long as all Chinese sons and daughters shoulder their responsibilities and continue to struggle. Second, 'On the journey of Chinese-style modernization, everyone is a protagonist, every contribution is precious, and every glimmer of light shines brightly.' I believe this sentence is also the General Secretary's applause for every son and daughter of China! On the journey of Chinese-style modernization, there is you, me, and him; we are all working hard together, and every Chinese person is a protagonist on this journey."
Mountains and rivers add splendor, and starlight reflects on thousands of homes. Let us welcome 2025 with hope. 2025 will surely be a year full of hope and struggle. I hope all Changlei people will walk hand in hand, forge ahead with determination, and realize a time of prosperity and abundance for China. I wish Changlei members that all wishes come true, with much joy and lasting peace.
Lawyer Pan Lei
"As the sequence of years changes, the magnificent chapter renews. At this warm moment of transition between the old and the new, the General Secretary's New Year Address was like a loud bell, ringing in everyone's heart, containing both deep affection for the people and conveying a surging power that urges progress. 'Though dreams are distant, they can be reached if pursued; though wishes are difficult, they can be fulfilled if upheld'—these few words contain endless power.
On the occasion of the new year, I wish all leaders and colleagues that your life journeys be like the sea of stars, featuring both magnificent scenery and the beauty of tranquility. Whether in work or life, may you sail with courage and wisdom as your sails towards the shore in your hearts and reap a full harvest."
Lawyer Yang Xu
"Entering 2025, the General Secretary's New Year Address was like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and full of power. This is not only a review of the achievements of the past year but also a firm commitment to future development. The address reveals not only the pride and confidence of the Chinese people but also a determination and courage facing the future.
We stand at a new historical starting point, shouldering the great mission of realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Every step forward condenses the wisdom and sweat of countless people; every achievement is a victory over difficulties and challenges. As the General Secretary said, as long as we unite as one, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome and no goal we cannot achieve.
In the new year, as a young lawyer, I feel the heavy responsibility on my shoulders. Our generation, born at the right time and bearing heavy responsibilities, will definitely respond to the General Secretary's call with concrete actions, integrating personal ideals and pursuits into the great dream of the country and the nation.
I believe that as long as we, the younger generation, are down-to-earth and firm in our beliefs, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome and no goal we cannot achieve. Let us join hands and leave our youthful mark on the new journey, jointly writing the magnificent chapter of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. May every young person shine in their own position, letting youth bloom with the most brilliant light in dedication to the country and the people! I wish Changlei Law Firm and all of us to get better and better; where there is a will, there is a way, and the future is promising."
Lawyer Zhao Xin
"The General Secretary sent us New Year greetings for 2025, mentioning high-quality development. As a lawyer, this inspires us that we must be responsible not only to our clients but also to the law. The General Secretary's greetings also demonstrate a spirit and power of struggle. To borrow the General Secretary's words: 'Though dreams are distant, they can be reached if pursued; though wishes are difficult, they can be fulfilled if upheld.' I wish Lawyer Liu, Lawyer Ye, and all colleagues that all your wishes come true!"
Trainee Lawyer Liu Wuping
"The moon opens a new beginning, and all things start a new chapter. As 2025 approaches, the General Secretary delivered a New Year Address, comprehensively reviewing the brilliant achievements made in China's construction and development over the past year and looking forward with full confidence to the new journey of struggle. His passionate words, full of deep affection for the broad masses of the people, demonstrate firm confidence in China's development, stir the spirit of the times of reform and innovation, and reflect care and responsibility for the future of humanity. They warm hearts and urge progress, and will surely gather a powerful force for unity and struggle among all Chinese sons and daughters, constantly pushing forward the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation. I deeply feel that time waits for no one, and the cause waits for no one. We must have a sense of urgency to seize the day and a spirit of responsibility that we cannot shirk. We must strive to build a world-class military and create new glory in continuous struggle, writing new feats. I wish Changlei Law Firm to create brilliance again in the new year, and I wish Lawyer Liu, Lawyer Ye, and all colleagues at Changlei that all wishes come true and that you realize your value within the legal industry."

On the first working day of the new year, I hereby extend my most sincere New Year greetings to all leaders and colleagues! In the past year, we took the law as our boat and wisdom as our sail, sailing through wind and rain together and harvesting much. May the new year bring dreams and down-to-earth efforts to every colleague, achieving not only brilliance in our legal careers but also happiness and well-being in our personal lives. May our team be even closer, joining hands to create more achievements. During this Spring Festival, let us set off with smiles and hope, welcoming an even more brilliant tomorrow.

Paralegal Ding Jiaying
"In past New Year Addresses, the General Secretary once said: 'Though tasks are difficult, they will surely be accomplished if done; though the road is far, the destination will be reached if traveled.' This year, he further emphasized: 'Though dreams are distant, they can be reached if pursued; though wishes are difficult, they can be fulfilled if upheld.' These words not only profoundly embody the spirit of practical work and perseverance but also point out the direction for us in the new year, motivating us to face challenges with a positive attitude and pursue excellence.
On the occasion of the New Year, I extend my most sincere blessings to all colleagues. May everyone, in the new year, no matter how great the difficulties encountered, maintain firm beliefs, bravely pursue their dreams, and realize personal value and goals. I wish that through our joint efforts, we can continuously improve our professional standards and service quality, overcome every obstacle on the road ahead, jointly witness the growth and progress of the firm, and steadily move towards a brighter future. Finally, I wish our firm to get better and better and create brilliance again."
Paralegal Wang Pizhu
"After graduating and entering the workplace, I have increasingly deeply felt that national development is closely linked to personal destiny. 2024 was a fulfilling and fruitful year for me. In terms of work, I strove to overcome case difficulties one by one and witnessed the rise and fall of industry development. New opportunities and challenges followed, making me deeply feel the resonance between my own growth and the national economy. Now looking forward to 2025, I am full of anticipation. In terms of work, I wish to maintain a striving posture, continuously learn new knowledge and master new skills, keep up with industry frontiers, and hope to achieve more breakthroughs and accomplishments in my professional field, making work not just a means of livelihood but a stage for realizing self-value, full of drive and ambition.
All these beautiful expectations are built on the foundation of the country's continued and stable development. I sincerely wish that the national economy will flourish and get better and better in the new year, continuing to escort the dreams of each of us, allowing us to chase our own sea of stars on this vast land, write our own wonderful life chapters, and go together with the country towards a prosperous and glorious tomorrow."
Paralegal Song Jiangwen
"The New Year opens, and all things renew. At this元旦 festival igniting hope, I extend my most sincere greetings and best wishes to all colleagues.
The General Secretary mentioned the celebration activities for the 75th anniversary of the founding of New China in his New Year Address, showcasing China's development achievements in economy, technology, and social construction. These achievements cannot be separated from the guarantee and promotion of the rule of law. As lawyers, we should be loyal to the law, safeguard the dignity and authority of the law, and at the same time be loyal to our clients, providing them with professional legal services and support.
Secondly, the General Secretary emphasized the importance of letting the people live a happy life. This coincides with our professional spirit as lawyers pursuing fairness and justice. As providers of legal services, we should be committed to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of our clients and promoting the realization of social fairness and justice through legal means.
Thirdly, the New Year Address mentioned the importance of safeguarding national security and social stability. In the process of practice, lawyers should resolve social contradictions and disputes through legal channels, repair and maintain social order, and promote social harmony and stability.
Furthermore, with the advancement of Chinese-style modernization, the legal profession is also facing new challenges and opportunities. We lawyers need to have solid legal knowledge and skills, continuously learn and improve our professional literacy to adapt to the needs of social development.
Finally, the General Secretary's New Year Address reflected deep care for the people and firm confidence in national development. We lawyers should provide high-quality legal services to clients with a professional attitude and honest behavior, safeguarding the reputation and image of the legal profession."
Paralegal Li Jianan
"After listening to the address, I feel it contains both a sharing of achievements and quite a bit of realistic thinking. In the past year, whether in economic recovery or technological innovation, there were indeed some brilliant results that made people feel inspired. However, behind these grand achievements, the days of ordinary people are the part closest to our lives. The address mentioned children's education, youth employment, and elderly care, which are practical issues everyone is concerned about and the foundation of social development.
In addition, he also mentioned the difficulties faced by some enterprises and individuals in the past year, which felt very real. Indeed, not everyone can benefit directly from economic growth; there may still be many people living quite difficult lives.
Administrative Assistant Yang Qinyuan
"Listening to President Xi Jinping's 2025 New Year Address, I look back at a year of happiness and look forward to a new vision for the future. In the address, there is the surging roar of time, the graceful demeanor of family and country, and an unwavering sentiment for the people. There is the development scroll of 2024, reflecting a visible 'greater self' and mirroring the striving 'small self,' outlining defined happiness for everyone. There is the driving force for moving forward in 2025, and the sincere truth that 'Though dreams are distant, they can be reached if pursued; though wishes are difficult, they can be fulfilled if upheld.'
I wish Lawyer Liu, Lawyer Ye, and all colleagues that your work and life be as gorgeous and colorful as the morning glow, with every step paved with the golden light of hope. In the new year, may happiness and dreams come true, and may you have peace and joy!"
Administrative Assistant Fan Tingting
"'Walking together through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, experiencing wind, rain, rainbows, and sunshine together, a series of moments are frozen in this extraordinary year.' The General Secretary's words make us recall the struggle of the past year. Whether on the front lines of fighting natural disasters, at the forefront of technological innovation, or among those working silently in ordinary positions, everyone has interpreted the meaning of struggle with their concrete actions. In the new year, we must continue to carry forward the spirit of struggle, work hard and forge ahead in our respective positions, and meet new challenges and create new glories with greater enthusiasm and high fighting spirit. As the new year opens, let us go to the new journey together. I wish Changlei Law Firm a powerful year of the Dragon and a brilliant future."
Administrative Assistant Ding Shiting
"Full of Confidence, Moving Forward with Courage and Perseverance: Just as the General Secretary said, 'We have always grown through the baptism of storms and strengthened through trials.' The new year may bring challenges, but as long as we are full of confidence, we will surely overcome difficulties.
Looking ahead to the new year, we will devote ourselves to work with greater enthusiasm and a professional attitude. We will continue to optimize personal capabilities, strengthen the effectiveness of our work collaboration, and meet the needs of the firm's development. At the same time, we will actively explore innovative service models, help enhance the firm's brand image, and contribute our strength to the firm's ascent to a higher level.
I also wish Changlei Law Firm to get better and better, riding the east wind of the times, harboring great ambitions to forge ahead, creating the magnificent cause, and continuing the new chapter of the rule of law.
Looking to the future, we are full of anticipation. We believe that under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, the law will continue to progress amidst constant change, and the people of Changlei will also provide more specialized, sophisticated, and innovative solutions to solve various difficult problems.
