    The second day of the Olympiad came to a rousing end with Noori and Falak playing their latest hits. Amidst hooting fans, the performance kicked off with Falak Shabbir’s newest singles.

    When Noori took charge, the young crowd of several hundred people thronged towards the stage. It was a night full of rocking music behind the Lums Sports Complex. The concert was definitely a breath of fresh air for the delegates after a long and exhausting day of the competition. High on energy, the spectators eagerly waited for the band to play their favourite tunes. Noori enthralled the audience with their hits from ‘SunoKe Main HoonJawan’ and ‘Peeli Patti Aur Raja Jaani Ki GolDunya’.

    During the day, the delegates competed in Console Gaming and Crime Busters. Console Gaming was a virtual match of football and was all about eye-hand coordination. Football is enjoyed by innumerable enthusiasts around the world and the number of participants at this virtual match was indeed evidence of its absolute appeal. As computer gamers from diverse areas of the country struggled to win, the crowd cheered at every move of the virtual ball on the large screen that had been set up to facilitate viewing. As one of the organisers aptly said “It looked like a Champions League quarter final between Manchester United and FC Bayern.”

    Crime Busters was another highlight of the day. The delegates were shown a Crime Sceneand had to solve a mystery, a perfect challenge for them to unleash their investigative talents. Math enigma, Mind Quest and A la Carte were also included in the various competitions held on Day 2 of the Olympiad.

    As the new year begins, let us also start anew. I’m delighted to extend, on behalf of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and in my own name, new year’s greeting and sincere wishes to YOULIN magazine’s staff and readers.

    Only in hard times can courage and perseverance be manifested. Only with courage can we live to the fullest. 2020 was an extraordinary year. Confronted by the COVID-19 pandemic, China and Pakistan supported each other and took on the challenge in solidarity. The ironclad China-Pakistan friendship grew stronger as time went by. The China Pakistan Economic Corridor projects advanced steadily in difficult times, become a standard-bearer project of the Belt and Road Initiative in balancing pandemic prevention and project achievement. The handling capacity of the Gwadar Port has continued to rise and Afghanistan transit trade through the port has officially been launched. The Karakoram Highway Phase II upgrade project is fully open to traffic. The Lahore Orange Line project has been put into operation. The construction of Matiari-Lahore HVDC project was fully completed. A batch of green and clean energy projects, such as the Kohala and Azad Pattan hydropower plants have been substantially promoted. Development agreement for the Rashakai SEZ has been signed. The China-Pakistan Community of Shared Future has become closer and closer.

    Reviewing the past and looking to the future, we are confident to write a brilliant new chapter. The year 2021 is the 100th birthday of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan. The 100-year journey of CPC surges forward with great momentum and China-Pakistan relationship has flourished in the past 70 years. Standing at a new historic point, China is willing to work together with Pakistan to further implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, connect the CPEC cooperation with the vision of the “Naya Pakistan”, promote the long-term development of the China-Pakistan All-weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership with love, dedication and commitment. Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan said, “We are going through fire. The sunshine has yet to come.” Yes, Pakistan’s best days are ahead, China will stand with Pakistan firmly all the way.

    YOULIN magazine is dedicated to promoting cultural exchanges between China and Pakistan and is a window for Pakistani friends to learn about China, especially the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is hoped that with the joint efforts of China and Pakistan, YOULIN can listen more to the voices of readers in China and Pakistan, better play its role as a bridge to promote more effectively people-to-people bond.

    Last but not least, I would like to wish all the staff and readers of YOULIN a warm and prosper year in 2021.
