Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong, June 12. On the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the founding of Ta Kung Pao, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, President of the State and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, sent a congratulatory letter to express warm congratulations to all employees.

In his congratulatory letter, Xi Jinping pointed out that for more than a century, Ta Kung Pao has been adhering to the tenet of “forgetting oneself to be great and being selfless to the public.” It has played a positive role in the return of Hong Kong to the motherland and the maintenance of prosperity and stability. Entering the new era, Ta Kung Pao has made a clear-cut positive voice, built social consensus, and contributed to maintaining social stability in Hong Kong, enhancing exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland, and promoting the return of people’s hearts.

Xi Jinping hopes that Ta Kung Pao will not forget its original intention, carry forward the patriotic tradition, be determined to innovate and develop, and continue to expand its dissemination and influence, so as to write a more exciting chapter for the realization of the “one country, two systems” practice and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. .

A ceremony to celebrate the 120th anniversary of Ta Kung Pao was held in Hong Kong on the afternoon of the 12th, during which a congratulatory letter from Xi Jinping was read out.

Founded on June 17, 1902, Ta Kung Pao is the oldest Chinese-language newspaper still in circulation in the world. After merging with Hong Kong “Wen Wei Po” in 2016 to form Hong Kong Takung Wenhui Media Group, it accelerated the pace of integration and development, and formed an all-media communication pattern based in Hong Kong and facing the global Chinese.
