# For over a century, the pioneers of the Chinese people, including such outstanding men as the great revolutionary Dr.Sun Yat-sen who led the Revolution of 1911, have guided the masses in their unceasing struggles to overthrow oppression by the imperialists and reactionary Chinese regimes; this goal has now been finally attained through their dauntless and persistent efforts.
当着我们举行会议的时候，中国人民已经战胜了自己的敌人，改变了中国的面貌，建立了中华人民共和国。
# We are holding this session at a time when the Chinese people have triumphed over their enemies, changed the face of their country and founded the People's Republic of China.
我们四万万七千五百万中国人现在是站立起来了，我们民族的前途是无限光明的。
# We the 475 million Chinese people have now stood up and the future of our nation is infinitely bright.
