　　At 14:28 on 12 May 2008, a massive earthquake struck Wenchuan of Sichuan Province. It was an earthquake that shocked the world. It caused heavy casualties and property damage, and inflicted enormous losses on local economic and social development. In the face of the unprecedented natural disaster, the whole Party, armed forces and people of all ethnic groups in China rallied behind the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission, and worked as one to fight the disaster with great determination, courage and strength. We launched a rescue and relief operation which was faster in response and mobilized more personnel and resources than ever before in China's history. We made the utmost effort to save lives and minimize the damage, and achieved major success in the fight against the disaster, demonstrating the indomitable and unyielding spirit of the Chinese people and writing a touching and heroic chapter in the history of our nation.
　　我们按照以人为本、尊重自然、统筹兼顾、科学重建的原则，科学制定灾后恢复重建规划，迅速出台一系列支援灾区的政策措施，积极开展对口支援，迅速组织开展灾后恢复重建工作。在中央大力支持、灾区广大干部群众艰苦奋斗、全国人民大力支援下，城乡居民住房重建、学校医院等公共服务设施重建、基础设施恢复重建、产业重建和结构调整、历史文化保护、生态修复等方面均取得显著成绩，灾后恢复重建取得重要阶段性成果，灾区人民正大踏步走向新生活。这一切，为夺取抗震救灾斗争全面胜利奠定了坚实基础。
　　In the aftermath of the earthquake, we made scientific plans for rehabilitation and reconstruction, promptly introduced a host of policies and measures to support the quake-hit areas, energetically organized one-to-one assistance programs, and swiftly launched rehabilitation and reconstruction work in accordance with the principles of putting people first, respecting nature, making coordinated plans and carrying out reconstruction in a scientific way. Thanks to the strong support of the CPC Central Committee, the strenuous efforts of the local officials and people and generous assistance from the rest of the country, notable progress has been made in the reconstruction of urban and rural homes, schools, hospitals and other public service facilities, the rehabilitation and reconstruction of infrastructure, the rebuilding and restructuring of industries, the preservation of places of historical and cultural interest, as well as in ecological rehabilitation. With these major preliminary successes, the people in the quake-hit areas are now marching toward a new life. All this has laid a solid foundation for the complete success of our relief and reconstruction endeavor.
