§延安的同志们和陕甘宁边区的同胞们:
#§Comrades in Yenan and Fellow-Countrymen in the Shensi-Kansu-Ningsia Border Region:
延安和陕甘宁边区,从一九三六年到一九四八年,曾经使中共中央的所在地,曾经是中国人民解放斗争的总后方。
# From 1936 to 1948 Yenan and the Shensi-Kansu-Ningsia Border Region were the seat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the general rear area of the Chinese people's struggle for liberation.
延安和陕甘宁边区的人民对于全国人民是有伟大贡献的。

我庆祝延安和陕甘宁边区的人民继续团结一致,迅速恢复战争的创伤,发展经济建设和文化建设。

我并且希望,全国一切革命工作人员永远保持过去十余年间在延安和陕甘宁边区的工作人员中所具有的艰苦奋斗的作风。
# And I hope that the revolutionary personnel of the whole country will always keep to the style of plain living and hard struggle maintained for more than a decade by the working personnel in Yenan and the Shensi-Kansu-Ningsia Border Region.
