　　With a common dream of independence, freedom, happiness and prosperity, the two sides waged a liberation struggles for self-emancipation. China reached the destination first in 1949, under the stewardship of the Communist Party of China. In that struggle, Shaanxi and Yan’an played pivotal roles as the base and launch pad for the war of liberation. The spirit of Yan’an lives today on an enduring demonstration of the sacrifice, courage and will power to succeed by the Chinese people.

　　The spirit served as an inspiration to many oppressed peoples of the world hence the awakening of Africa to its liberation borrowed many chapters from the Chinese experience. Today with the whole of Africa now liberated, we continue to emulate the rich experience of the upliftment of millions of people from poverty to moderate prosperity and in the same enduring spirit, Shaanxi has taken a leading role in Rural vitalization and transformation.

　　In its turn, Africa has a young and vibrant population projected by the United Nations to be 2.5 billion by 2050. It is the fastest growing and the continent of the future. It is rich in natural resources and has abundant man power.
