Dear readers,

China is facing its once-in-a-decade leadership change this fall. Looking back, the past 10 years have seen tremendous changes in China. China has become the world's largest economy behind the US, making it a leading engine of the global economic recovery. With growing economic prosperity, China has been playing an increasingly important role on the world stage.

We'd like to ask all our readers home and abroad to share your personal observations about what has happened in China over the past 10 years. How do you view China now and then? What kind of changes have you experienced or witnessed in the past decade? What suggestions do you have for China's future? And best wishes for China are also welcome.

You are also welcome to share your stories with us. No style limit, ie, you can write a comment or a story. Words, pictures and videos are all welcome.

We will publish some of the pieces in the China Daily newspaper and its portal platform. Also, after we use your article, photo or video on our website or paper, we will send you a special gift.

You can send us an email at comment@chinadaily.com.cn or leave your post on the activity?"We want to hear from?you" in?China Daily?forum.

Please make sure to leave your address, postal code, and telephone number in case we need the information to send your gift. And we also want your photo so we can use it if we use your work.

We welcome your thoughts, but we do reserve the right to edit submissions deemed inappropriate.
