"Everybody has their own aspirations1 and pursuits. We can say that everyone has a dream. Now, we are all talking about the Chinese dream. In my opinion, the greatest Chinese dream in modern China is to realize the rejuvenation2 of our nation."
Xi Jinping led the new Communist Party of China Politburo Standing3 Committee visiting China's National Museum just days after one of the world's most important leadership transitions in November.
The group, led by the newly-elected Party chief, made a stop to look at a fresco4 depicting5 China's history over the last 200 years.
Earlier that week, the new 7-member standing committee made their debut6 to be introduced to the world at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing following the Party's key 18th National Congress.
What came as somewhat of a surprise to the hundreds of reporters in the room that day was Xi Jinping's informal style.
Many in attendance later wrote that his casual demeanor7 reinforced people's impression of the new Party chief as a down-to-the-earth individual.
In the following weeks, down-to-the-earth language and work style have been reflected in top party documents.
The new leadership has rolled out eight specific rules rejecting extravagance and reducing bureaucracy.
The new rules include fewer traffic stoppages for officials' vehicle convoys8, shorter and to-the-point government meetings and less media coverage9 of officials' activities.
Apart from the more pragmatic work style, the new leadership has also adopted a zero-tolerance stance against corruption10.
Wang Qishan, another new Standing Committee member and the Party's anti-corruption chief, says no single official, even - quote - "trustworthy ones" should be exempt11 from anti-corruption inspections12.
On top of promoting self-discipline and anti-corruption, the new leaders have also been trying to shape their vision of China's future.
During a recent visit to South China's economic powerhouse of Guangdong Province, Party chief Xi Jinping made it clear there is no way the new leadership will give up the country's reform and opening-up policy.
This was highlighted in the city of Shenzhen, where Xi Jinping paid tribute to the statue of pioneer reform leader Deng Xiaoping.
In fact, most of China's new leaders have experience in governing the country's most-economically robust13 regions, including Zhang Dejiang in Zhejiang, Yu Zhengsheng in Shanghai and Zhang Gaoli in Tianjin.
Vice-Premier Li Keqiang had cut his teeth in Henan and Liaoning before being elevated to the Politburo Standing Committee 5-years ago.
"Amid the profound changes taking place in our society and our country, only reform and opening-up can solve the structural14 problems that are hindering economic restructuring."
The transition of power in China in 2012 has not brought about sudden policy shifts or uncertainty15 that some had been predicting.
Instead, the transition has brought with it a pragmatic approach to governance and a determination to keep the country developing through systematic16 reform.
