Today:
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary
of your magazine, I send you my warmest congratulations!
Over the past 50 years, by enthusiastically
reporting China's great process of socialist construction,
and reform and opening-up, you have made important contributions
to the promotion of understanding between China and the peoples
of the world, and to the consolidation of friendship between
them and the Chinese people. In her lifetime, Comrade Soong
Ching Ling poured much of her energy into the founding and
development of your magazine. I hope that you will carry on
its fine traditions, make ever greater efforts, advance with
the times, work still harder for reform and opening-up and
the modernization of our country, and continue to devote your
capabilities to the sublime cause of promoting peace and development
for humankind.

ON its 50th anniversary, the staff of China
Today review the half a century that their magazine covers.
Named China Reconstructs in 1952 and renamed China Today in
1990 according to the wish of its late founder Soong Ching
Ling, this magazine has always been in sync with the rhythm
of China, presenting China's construction achievements from
a special, true-to-life perspective. Looking through back
issues over the past 50 years is like rolling down a scrolled
record of the course of development of the People's Republic.

and his Chinese wife have a very lovely daughter. Unlike
those of a fiery temperament that one associates with Latin
blood, Oriol has a quiet, gentle demeanor that frequently
lights up with a bright, warm smile.
