As we bid farewell to 2024 and welcome the new year, CGTN is launching a new campaign, "1,001 Wishes for 2025," inviting you to share your wishes, hopes, and New Year's resolutions with the world.

This year saw an upheaval in Syria after rebels mounted an offensive in late November, ultimately capturing the capital, Damascus, on December 8 and ousting President Bashar al-Assad. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says more than 1.1 million Syrian civilians were displaced because of the campaign. With 2025 just around the corner, a teacher from Damascus says he hopes for a new year in which Syrians can rebuild their homes and have a peaceful future.
