On this day that belongs to workers everywhere—the International Workers’ Day—we extend our sincerest respect to every individual who works tirelessly and quietly to advance society.

From the driver of the first train in the morning to the medical staff who still stick to their posts late at night; from the technicians who operate accurately in the factory to the white-collar workers who strategize in the office; from the farmers who work hard in the fields to the service workers who shuttle through the city -- it is these ordinary but great figures that together build the cornerstone of the operation of the world.

In different countries, different cultures and different languages, labor has the same value: creation, dedication and hope. Whether in a prosperous city or a remote village, every effort deserves to be seen and every drop of sweat should be respected.

Today is not just a celebration, but a reminder. We should continue to pay attention to the rights, dignity and well-being of workers, so that fairness and opportunity flow more evenly around the world. Science and technology are advancing and the times are changing, but respect for labor and care for people should never change.

May this day, let the world slow down and say to all workers: thank you. Because of you, the world is better.

I wish workers around the world a happy holiday, peace and success, and the future can be expected.
