Today marks the 130th anniversary of the birth of Comrade ***, the main founder of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the People's Republic of China, and the great leader of the Chinese people of all nationalities. As a generation of great men who led the Chinese people to completely change their own destiny and the appearance of the country, Comrade ** has left us an extremely rich and valuable legacy, involving all aspects of governing the party, the country, and the army, and has eternal value that transcends time and space. On the new journey, it is of great significance to cherish the memory of Comrade Zheng's great achievements and learn from his noble spirit and demeanor, so that the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in the country will closely unite around Comrade Zheng with Comrade Zheng as the core and comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation.
Today, we deeply cherish the memory of Comrade ***, and we must deeply understand the great historical exploits established by Comrade *** for the party and the people as the core of the party's first generation of leading collectives, and more deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishments" and resolutely achieve the "two safeguards".
In times of hardship, the times create heroes. The era of great struggles will inevitably produce great historical figures. ** Comrade is a great figure born from the current situation of China's historical development since modern times and from the arduous struggle of the Chinese people to resist foreign invasion and resist national oppression and class oppression. China is the pride of our party, the pride of our country, and the pride of the Chinese nation.
**The life of a comrade is a magnificent epic, a magnificent picture scroll swallowing mountains and rivers, and an impassioned colorful movement. In the face of the profound calamity of humiliation for the country, the people, and the dust, Comrade ** resolutely chose Marxism-Leninism, chose to struggle for the realization of communism, plunged himself into the torrent of revolution, and undertook the historical task of turning things around and reorganizing the rivers and mountains. In the long years of the revolution, Comrade ** with the firm will of a great revolutionary leader "to be like the collapse of Kunlun and just like a typhoon sweeping the world", the heroic spirit of "asking the vast earth, who is the master of the ups and downs", the eloquence of "turning the sea over the river and rolling the huge tide" and "sweeping thousands of armies like a sweep", and the broad mind of "the world is peaceful, the world is hot and cold", the old China that "the long night is difficult to see the red county sky" has become a new China that has "changed the world" everywhere. The most outstanding and greatest contribution of Comrade ** in his life is to lead our Party and people to find the correct path of the new democratic revolution, accomplish the tasks of opposing imperialism and feudalism, establish the People's Republic of China, establish the basic system of socialism, and make basic achievements in socialist construction. It has created a fundamental premise for the Chinese nation to catch up with the development trend of the times in great strides and laid a solid theoretical and practical foundation. ** Comrades' revolutionary practice and glorious achievements have been recorded in the history of the Chinese nation. His name, his thoughts, his demeanor will always inspire us to keep going!
Having a strong core of leadership and scientific theoretical guidance is a conspicuous sign of a mature Marxist political party and a fundamental issue concerning the future and destiny of the party and the country. ** Comrade pointed out: "Any leading collective must have a core, and leadership without a core is unreliable. "The Zunyi Conference in fact established the leading position of Comrade Zheng in the Red Army, began to establish the leading position of the correct line of Marxism with Comrade Zheng as the main representative, and began to form the party's first generation of leading collective with Comrade Zheng as the core, and our party gradually became a truly mature Marxist political party. ** Comrades have saved the Chinese revolution from crises many times, and the Chinese revolution has moved from a mountain to a bright future. As Comrade *** said: "No, at least we Chinese people will have to grope in the dark for a longer time." "Without *** thought, there would be no Communist Party of China today." This is the conclusion of practice and the public opinion of history.
The Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in 1945 established the first ideology as the guiding ideology of the Party, so that the whole Party achieved unprecedented unity and unity ideologically, politically, and organizationally. The picture shows Comrade *** on the rostrum of the Seventh National Congress. Xinhua News Agency.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the new great struggle, our party has had the core of the party, the leader of the people, and the commander-in-chief of the army, which is the luck of the party and the country, the people, and the Chinese nation. The most fundamental reason why the cause of the party and the country in the new era has made historic achievements and undergone historic changes lies in the fact that the general secretary is at the helm as the core of the party and the core of the whole party, and that there is the scientific guidance of the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Practice has fully proved that the "two establishments" are a major political achievement made by the party in the new era, and have become a high degree of consensus and common will of the whole party, the whole army, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country, and have been written in the great journey of the new era, written in the hearts of the whole party, the whole army, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country, and are the greatest certainty, the greatest confidence, and the greatest guarantee for the party and the people to cope with all uncertainties. On the new journey, we must deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishments", enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", and achieve the "two safeguards", consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the comrades as the core in terms of ideology, politics and action, and jointly forge the party into an invincible and invincible piece of hard steel.
Today, we deeply cherish the memory of Comrade ***, and we must profoundly grasp Comrade ***'s outstanding historical contributions as a great pioneer of the Sinicization of Marxism, and constantly open up a new realm of Sinicization of Marxism and modernization in promoting the "two combinations" and practicing the "six musts".
In a large semi-colonial, semi-feudal country like old China, which had a special and complicated situation, in order to truly apply Marxism to guide the Chinese revolution, it was necessary to make a scientific theoretical summary that suited China's reality in close connection with China's national conditions and the conditions of the times. The reason why Marxism works is that the Party has continuously promoted the Sinicization of Marxism and the modernization of Marxism and used it to guide practice.
Comrade ** was the first to put forward the major proposition of "Sinicization of Marxism", emphasizing that "Marxism can only be realized by combining it with the specific characteristics of our country and through a certain national form", and calling on the whole party to use the "arrow" of Marxism-Leninism to shoot the "arrow" of the Chinese revolution. In the long-term practice of revolution and construction, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade *** as the main representative, have formed a scientific guiding ideology suited to China's conditions in accordance with the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism. This thought enriched and developed Marxism-Leninism with original theories, and achieved the first historical leap in the Sinicization of Marxism. Along the road of Sinicization of Marxism opened up by Comrade Xian, our party has successively created the first theory, formed the "most important thought, the scientific outlook on development, and created the first socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era, which provides scientific and theoretical guidance for the development of the cause of the party and the people, which is both in the same line and advancing with the times. ** Ideology has nurtured generation after generation of Chinese Communists and is a glorious banner that we must hold high forever from generation to generation.
Comrade once vividly called the Marxist world outlook and formula the "common language" of the communists. * The living soul of ideology is the stance, viewpoint, and method that run through it, which is embodied in the three basic aspects of seeking truth from facts, the mass line, and independence, and is the "common language" of the Chinese Communists within the party that will never go out of style. Only by insisting on the living soul of the best thought can we develop the best thought on the basis of persistence. As contemporary Chinese Marxism and Marxism in the 21st century, the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era is intrinsically consistent with the Thought, Theory, Important Thought and Scientific Outlook on Development on the basis of theory, history and culture, and is consistent in political position, theoretical character, value orientation and goal pursuit. At the same time, the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era has made original contributions to the enrichment and development of Marxism with a series of symbolic and leading new ideas, new views and new assertions, and has achieved a new leap in the Sinicization of Marxism and the modernization of Marxism. The "six must adhere" that runs through the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era are the persistence and application, innovation and development of Marxist positions, viewpoints and methods, the persistence and application, innovation and development of the living soul of the new era, the "common language" of the Chinese Communists in the new era, and the basic point that must be grasped to continue to promote theoretical innovation on the basis of practice.
It is the fundamental way to promote the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism and adhere to the "two combinations". ** Comrades have creatively resolved a series of major issues concerning the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality. At the same time, as an outstanding representative of the Chinese Communists who regard all the excellent traditions of the Chinese nation as "things linked to their own flesh and blood," he stressed the importance of inheriting and summing up the precious legacy "from Confucius to Sun Yat-sen," and put forward a series of important principles, such as "using the past for the present" and "bringing forth the new through the old." ** Comrades have a very profound traditional cultural cultivation, make good use of the Marxist viewpoint to turn the past into the present, turn stones into gold, and can use Chinese historical allusions to explain the practical problems of China's revolution and construction. ** Comrade's writings are "completely Marxist and completely Chinese", full of distinctive Chinese style and style. Entering the new era, the general secretary profoundly grasped the relationship between Marxism and China's excellent traditional culture, and creatively put forward the major proposition of "second combination". This is our party's profound summing up of the historical experience of the Sinicization of Marxism and the modernization of Marxism, as well as a profound grasp of the law governing the development of Chinese civilization. **The Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era integrates the ideological essence of Marxism with the spiritual characteristics of China's excellent traditional culture, is the essence of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit, and is a glorious example of adhering to the "two combinations".
** Comrade said, not as good as Marx, not a Marxist;Equal to Marx, not Marxist;Only by surpassing Marx can he be a Marxist. On the new journey, we must combine upholding Marxism with the development of Marxism, unremittingly cast our souls with the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, adhere to the soul of Marxism and the root of China's excellent traditional culture, and open up a new realm of Marxism in China and the times in constantly answering the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times.
At 3 p.m. on October 1, 1949, the founding ceremony was held in Tiananmen Square. Comrade ** solemnly declared: "The People's Republic of China ** ** was established today. Xinhua News Agency.
Today, we deeply cherish the memory of Comrade ***, and we must unswervingly follow the socialist road laid by Comrade ***, adhere to the same path and unchanging will, and constantly push forward the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
The road is fateful. ** Comrade pointed out: "The revolutionary party is the guide of the masses, and in the revolution there is no revolutionary party that leads the wrong way and the revolution does not fail. He began to think about the big question of "where is China going?" very early on, and proposed that the Chinese revolution must be divided into two steps: the new democratic revolution and the socialist revolution, and the ultimate direction should be socialism. During the period of the new democratic revolution, Comrade ** profoundly analyzed the nature, object, task, motive force and future of the Chinese revolution, and opened up the correct revolutionary road of encircling the cities from the countryside and seizing power by force. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Comrade ** led our party to creatively complete the transformation from the new democratic revolution to the socialist revolution, and successfully realized the most extensive and profound social change in the history of the Chinese nation. In the face of the brand-new topic of how to build socialism in China, Comrade ** proposed to take the Soviet Union as a mirror, to carry out a "second integration" of the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism with China's specific reality, to independently explore a path of socialist construction suited to China's national conditions, to guide the party and the people to create great achievements in socialist revolution and construction, and to provide valuable experience, theoretical preparation, and material foundation for creating socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new historical period.
Socialism does not have a one-size-fits-all model. ** The general secretary pointed out: "There is no precedent for building socialism under such social and historical conditions as China, it is like climbing a mountain that has not been reached by people, and all climbers must overcome obstacles and open roads." "It cannot be denied that Comrade ** has taken a detour in the exploration of the road of socialist construction, but this spirit of independent exploration and this firm determination to persist in taking its own road are the true meaning of our party's continuous awakening from setbacks and from victory to victory. Over the past 100 years and more, our party has been able to explore and form a new democratic revolutionary road, a socialist revolutionary road, a socialist construction road, and a socialist road with Chinese characteristics that are in line with China's actual conditions, and a basic point is that China's problems must proceed from China's basic national conditions, and China's affairs must be advocated by the Chinese people themselves. Taking one's own path is the party's entire theoretical and practical foothold, and it is also the historical conclusion reached by the party over the past 100 years of struggle.
History is constantly advancing in successive struggles. Before and after reform and opening up are two historical periods that are interrelated and have major differences, but in essence, they are both practical explorations in which our party leads the people to carry out socialist construction. The exploration of socialist practice before the reform and opening up has accumulated conditions for the exploration of socialist practice after the reform and opening up, and the exploration of socialist practice after the reform and opening up is the persistence, reform, and development of the previous period. Socialism with Chinese characteristics, as a fundamental achievement made by the Party and the people through untold hardships and at various costs, has been achieved in the great practice of reform and opening up for more than 40 years, in the continuous exploration of the People's Republic of China for more than 70 years, and in the great social revolution of more than 100 years under the leadership of our Party. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Comrade Zheng has adhered to the principle that "the victorious achievements of the new democratic revolution must not be lost, the achievements of socialist revolution and construction must not be denied, and the direction of reform, opening up and socialist modernization must not be shaken", led the people to be self-confident and self-reliant, upright and innovative, created the great achievements of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and made scientific socialism glow with new vigor in China in the 21st century.
As we move forward, we must not forget the road we have traveled." Walking on today's bright road and looking back at the past, people deeply feel how difficult and difficult it was for our predecessors to open up the road and explore new roads. On the new journey, we must maintain a strong determination to move forward, unswervingly adhere to and advance with the times to expand the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, neither follow the closed and rigid old road, nor take the evil road of changing banners, and write a more brilliant chapter of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
Today, we deeply cherish the memory of Comrade ***, and we must strive to realize the historical ambition of Comrade *** and other revolutionaries of the older generation to build our country into a modern and powerful country, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization.
Building a modern and powerful country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the grand goal that our party is diligently pursuing, and it condenses the painstaking efforts of the older generation of revolutionaries such as Comrade ***. As a pioneer of China's modernization, Comrade ** has been seeking to realize the modernization of China, an ancient oriental country, all his life, and has made immortal contributions.
As a pioneer of China's modernization, Comrade ** has been seeking to realize the modernization of China, an ancient oriental country, all his life, and has made immortal contributions. The picture shows that in 1956, **Comrade inspected Tianjin Tractor Factory (information**).
** Comrades have long made forward-looking thinking and planning for China's modernization. On the eve of the national victory, he proposed that after the victory of the revolution, China should steadily change from an agricultural country into an industrial country and build China into a great socialist country. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Comrade ** further formed the idea of promoting modernization in two steps: The first step is to establish an independent and relatively complete industrial system and a national economic systemThe second step is to comprehensively modernize agriculture, industry, national defense, and science and technology. Proceeding from the reality that the Chinese population is large, the foundation is weak, and the economy is backward, he realized that "it will take a long time to realize the country's prosperity and strength and industrial modernization," and that "it will not take more than 100 years to catch up with and surpass the most advanced capitalist countries in the world." He pointed out that socialism may be divided into two stages, "underdeveloped socialism" and "relatively developed socialism," and that "the latter stage may take longer than the previous stage." These important strategic concepts have outlined a long-term blueprint for China's modernization.
Under the leadership of Comrade Zheng, from the poor and blank situation in the early days of the founding of New China, where "not a single car, an airplane, a tank, or a tractor could be built," to the establishment of an independent and relatively complete industrial system and a national economic system, and then to the achievement of breakthroughs in cutting-edge national defense science and technology such as "two bombs and one satellite" and nuclear submarines, our party has led the people to "make progress in the past 30 years that old China has not made in hundreds or thousands of years," thus completely extricating China from the danger of being "expelled from the club." After the reform and opening up, the material and technological foundation on which China relied to carry out socialist modernization was built during this period, the backbone forces in the economic and cultural construction and their work experience were cultivated and accumulated during this period, and the international environment conducive to peaceful construction was also won during this period. It is precisely on the basis of the long-term exploration and practice since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, and through the innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, that our Party has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization and led the people to embark on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Chinese modernization represents the development direction of human civilization progress, shows a new picture different from the Western modernization model, creates a new form of human civilization, fully proves that the Chinese nation is a great nation that "should make greater contributions to mankind", and also fully confirms the forward-looking and correct nature of Comrade ***'s heroic prediction that "China will become a great power and make people amiable".
Promoting Chinese-style modernization is an unprecedented pioneering undertaking, which sets high demands on responding to the situation and opening up a new situation with correct strategies and tactics and a tenacious fighting spirit. In this regard, Comrade **'s broad and profound strategic thinking, outstanding and superb leadership ability, and perfect art of struggle have given us infinite inspiration and lessons. Whether it is to resist US aggression and aid Korea and defend the country with the strategic vision of "fighting with one punch, lest a hundred blows come", or opposing hegemonism and defending national dignity with the fearless spirit of "unique heroes drive away tigers and leopards, and there are no heroes who are afraid of bears";Whether it is promoting domestic construction with the strategic principle of "self-reliance as the mainstay, supplemented by foreign aid," or opening up a new situation in foreign work with the magnificent courage of regarding the world as a "small globe" and the strategic wisdom of "turning a small ball into a big ball," all these have laid a clear mark on the history of New China and profoundly shaped the spiritual backbone of the CPC and the Chinese people. In recent years, the international situation has changed, especially in the face of external blackmail, containment, blockade, and extreme pressure, and we have more deeply realized how much of a role the spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement, courage to struggle, and not to believe in evil, ghosts, and pressure that Comrade ** has consistently advocated has played in overcoming all kinds of difficulties and obstacles on the way forward, safeguarding national dignity and core interests, and firmly holding the destiny of China's development and progress in our own hands
Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is an unprecedentedly great and majestic drama. ** Comrade once said: "The play must start with the prologue, but the prologue is not yet the climax." "After several generations of long-term efforts, the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process, and the plot of building a strong country and national rejuvenation is gradually reaching a climax. On the new journey, we must firmly grasp the central task of the party, grasp the Chinese characteristics, essential requirements and major principles of Chinese-style modernization, handle a series of major relationships with a systematic concept, rely on tenacious struggle to open up new horizons for the development of the cause, and ensure that the great ship of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will ride the wind and waves and move steadily and far.
Today, we deeply cherish the memory of Comrade ***, and we must push forward the great project of party building initiated by Comrade ***, adhere to the comprehensive and strict governance of the party is always on the road, and the party's self-revolution is always on the road, and ensure that the red country will never change its color with the party's eternal degeneration.
To guide the great revolution, we must have a great party." * Comrades have creatively solved a series of major problems in building a Marxist political party under the special social and historical conditions of China, regarded party building as one of the "three magic weapons" for defeating the enemy, and advanced it from the strategic height of the "great project." Comrade ** said: "It is precisely on the basis of Comrade ***'s theory on party building that such a good party has been established. ”
During the period of the new democratic revolution, Comrade ** put forward the principle of building the party ideologically, led our party in implementing and promoting the great project of party building, cultivated and formed the three fine styles of integrating theory with practice, maintaining close ties with the masses, and criticizing and self-criticizing, and worked hard to build a Marxist political party that is nationwide, broad in nature, and completely consolidated ideologically, politically, and organizationally. After the party took power in the whole country, Comrade **, with a far-reaching strategic vision that the party and the regime will never degenerate and the red country will never change color, focused on the major topics of party building under the conditions of governance, and demanded that the whole party keep in mind the "two imperatives", always maintain the revolutionary enthusiasm and desperate spirit that was in the revolutionary war period, prevent party members and cadres from becoming corrupt and degenerate, "being officials and being masters", guard against "breeding bureaucratic style" and "forming an aristocratic class divorced from the people", and put forward the cultivation and cultivation of millions of proletarian revolutionary causes** Person. These important ideas and useful explorations have long-term guiding significance for us to uphold the party's leadership, strengthen party building, and maintain the party's advanced nature and purity, and have become important ideas for us to create a new great project of party building in the new period and promote a new great project of party building in the new era.
It is not easy for a Marxist party to seize power, and it is even more difficult to consolidate it and achieve long-term rule. How to break out of the historical cycle of the rise and fall of chaos is a major issue that our party has been pondering and exploring. After more than 100 years of struggle, especially the new practice since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the party gave the second answer, which is the self-revolution proposed by the general secretary. For more than 100 years, the Party has relied on the development of people's democracy and acceptance of the people's supervision outside the Party, and on the internal side of the Party, and on the promotion of self-revolution in an all-round and strict manner, ensuring the Party's long-term prosperity and continuous development and growth. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Comrade Zheng has made historic and pioneering achievements with the strategic determination of ten years of sharpening a sword, and has made all-round and deep-seated impact, opening up a new realm of self-revolution for the century-old party.
In 1945, Comrade ** quoted the words of "Zhuangzi" at the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China: "'The beginning is simple, and the end will be huge.'" Now we haven't finished yet, it's already big. Today, the Communist Party of China, which has gone through more than 100 years of struggle, has become the largest Marxist ruling party in the world. To be big is to have a big appearance, and at the same time, big has big difficulties. How to never forget the original intention, keep the mission in mind, how to always unify thinking, will, and action, how to always have a strong governing ability and leadership level, how to always maintain the entrepreneurial spirit of the officer, how to always be able to discover and solve its own problems in a timely manner, and how to always maintain a clean and upright political ecology are all special problems that our century-old party must solve. In the final analysis, the problems unique to the big party must be solved by the big party's own strength, by the scientific theories produced in the practice of the big party, and by carrying forward the glorious traditions and unique advantages of the big party. On the new journey, we must be guided by the important thoughts of the general secretary on party building, review the important ideas of Comrade *** on party building, carry forward the great spirit of party building, always maintain the sobriety and firmness of solving the unique problems of the big party, persistently promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party, and lead the social revolution with the party's self-revolution, so that our party will always become a strong leadership core for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
History is created by the people, and it contains a small number of outstanding figures who have played a major role in promoting the course of history. Our party has been able to achieve today's great historical cause with more than 100 years of struggle, profoundly changing the historical destiny of the Chinese nation and the trend pattern of world development. Looking back on the past and thinking about the source, we are more full of respect for the foundation, pioneering and exploration of Comrade ***. Today, the best commemoration for Comrade *** is to inherit and develop the great cause that he and his comrades-in-arms have worked hard to lay the foundation and pioneer, and to write a new chapter in history at a new historical starting point.
Let us unite more closely around the core of the world, fully implement the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, do not forget the suffering and glory of yesterday, live up to today's mission, live up to the great dream of tomorrow, and unite and struggle for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the all-round promotion of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
