年前中国人民经过长期奋斗，实现了民族独立和人民解放，建立了人民当家作主的新中国。

Fifty-seven years ago, the Chinese people succeeded in winning liberation after protracted and hard struggle and founded New China in which people became their own masters.

树立长期奋斗思想，进行持久的封山育林，把石山绿化起来；

Set up a longterm positive attitude to preserve hillsides for reafforestation to cover karst hills with trees.

中国人民珍惜同其他国家和人民的友谊和合作，更珍惜自己经过长期奋斗而得来的独立自主权利。

While we Chinese people value our friendship and co-operation with other countries and other people, we value ever our hard-won independence and sovereign rights.
