In 2012, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, first put forward the Chinese Dream.
"National rejuvenation has been the greatest dream of the Chinese people since the advent of modern times," Xi said when visiting the exhibition titled "The Road of Rejuvenation" on November 29, 2012, shortly after assuming the Party's top post.
"Let us embark on the new journey, and set out toward our new goal!" said Xi during his tour at the revolutionary site of Yangjialing in northwest Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, on October 27.
