The idea of Chinese renewal or rejuvenation was popularized by then-Premier Zhao Ziyang in the late 1980’s, and frequently promoted by Presidents Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao. Most recently, incoming President Xi Jinping, visiting the National Museum of China’s “Road Toward Renewal” exhibition, pledged to continue the “great renewal of the Chinese nation.”
20世纪80年代末时任总理赵紫阳提出了重建或复兴中国的思想，江泽民和胡锦涛两任主席将这一思想发扬光大。最近，新任主席习近平在参观国家博物馆中国“复兴之路”展览时承诺要继续“中华民族的伟大复兴之路。”
