[Editor's note] May 5 is the anniversary of the birth of Marx, the great mentor of the proletariat. Marx struggled for the liberation of the people throughout his life, leaving us with the most valuable and influential spiritual wealth-Marxism. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that Marxist ideology and theories are broad and profound, and are constantly learning and new. Today, Xinhua News Agency's "Learning in Progress" will work with you to study the classic words of the great man Marx.

　　Marx is the founder of Marxist parties and the pioneer of international communism, and the greatest thinker since modern times. More than two centuries have passed and human society has undergone tremendous and profound changes, but Marx ’s name is still respected by people all over the world, and Marx ’s theory is still shining with a dazzling light of truth!

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that Marxist ideology and theories are broad and profound, and they are always new. In the new era, Chinese Communists still have to learn Marx, learn and practice Marxism, and constantly draw scientific wisdom and theoretical power from it. Today, let us revisit Marx ’s classic discourse and appreciate the charm of truth.

About the laws of social movement

　　3. There is no flat avenue in science, and only those who dare not to work hard to climb along steep mountain roads can hope to reach the glorious peak.

　　4. Everything is difficult at the beginning, as is the case with every science.

　　5. Science is by no means a selfish and enjoyable pleasure. Fortunately, those who can devote themselves to scientific research should first use their knowledge to serve humanity.

　　About personal training

　　1. Instead of decorating yourself with a gorgeous coat, arm yourself with knowledge.

　　2. A person should: lively and disciplined, naive but not naive, brave and not reckless, stubborn and principled, enthusiastic and not impulsive, optimistic and not blind.

　　3. Only by perfecting for his contemporaries and working for their happiness can he achieve his own perfection.
