I am very excited to take part in the seminar held in my hometown Wuchang. In addition to the achievements we have made on the revival of Tanhualin historical and cultural district in the past years, today we meet a new historical moment and a new start for the coming hard work. Thanks to the national and international resources, we are extremely confident that we can carry out our revocation to a more profound level with the cooperative elements that we brought in from abroad.

　　Our committee of urbanization promises to promote and conduct this project with you. Personally speaking, I will undoubtedly do everything I can to carry it through to the end, as Tanhualin does not only belong to Wuchang or Wuhan, it belongs to China as well. It is a historical obligation that we must undertake.

　　For the past years, only a small number of successful cases of protecting and striving the historical and cultural district had appeared. Why can't Tanhualin be a successful case? Due to the fact that there is no existing mode in such aspect, it is our job to fish out practical solutions with our wisdom, courage, and knowledge. Revival doesn't mean that we only rebuild the ancient constructions, it is more of inheriting and innovating based on the spirit and mind of the new era, just as president Xi stated that it is essential to realize the creative transition and development of tradition culture. We should carry out this project strategically and comprehensively, and avoid fragmenting it into different activities. We also have to innovate by referring to experience from our country and abroad.

　　The spirit of Wuhan dare to be the first, pursue the excellence which demonstrats the  spirit of daring to explore and fail motivates us to work hard in the process of making Tanhualin part of the Sino-European Urbanization Partnership program. We will not only work on it, and we will also make great efforts to make it an excellent project and one of the most successful cases of historical and cultural district protection in China. Thank you!
