As an athlete, I will continue to perform hard on the rink to win glory for my country. At the same time, I will do my best to promote ice and snow sports and carry forward the spirit of the Beijing Winter Olympics. I will also rise above difficulties in my pursuit of excellence, and contribute my due part to China's rise as a leading sports nation.

Nowadays, we rural people can have jobs in our own residential areas and more young people are returning to their hometown to start up businesses like I did. Life is getting better and better in rural areas.

Zhou Wei (secretary of the Kunshan Municipal Party Committee of Jiangsu Province)

I believe many of you have heard a lot about Kunshan. In the past decade, Kunshan has remained number one on the list of China's top 100 counties with a larger scale of industry and a more optimized industrial structure. More than half of the city's industrial output value was contributed by emerging strategic industries.
