　　Fu Xingguo, Vice Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee: Thank you for your question.

Let me first introduce the situation regarding the selection and awarding of the "July 1st Medal".

　　On the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee decided to award the "July 1st Medal" for the first time.

According to the Regulations on Commendation of Meritorious Service within the Communist Party of China issued by the Central Committee in 2017, the "July 1st Medal" was established by the Party Central Committee and is the highest honor within the party. It is generally awarded in the year when the Communist Party of China was established "every five or ten".

　　There are four main nomination conditions for candidates for the "July 1st Medal": one is to have firm ideals and beliefs, to be loyal to the party, to consciously enhance the "four consciousnesses", to strengthen the "four self-confidence", and to "achieve two safeguards"; It is for the Chinese revolution, construction, and reform, for building a well-off society in an all-round way, winning the battle against poverty, and for advancing the new great project of party building, making outstanding contributions and establishing outstanding merits; third, noble morals and creation of valuable spiritual wealth; It has a major influence in the whole party and society and is highly praised.

　　The selection of the "July 1st Medal" adheres to the correct political direction, political standards, performance orientation, openness, fairness, and fairness, and strict implementation of the selection procedures. The main links are: organization of nomination, preliminary review, inspection, deliberation, publicity, etc. .

Before July 1 this year, the Party Central Committee will hold a grand commendation meeting for awards.

At present, this work is proceeding in an orderly manner as planned.

　　In addition, before July 1 this year, in the name of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, a group of national outstanding party members, national outstanding party workers and national advanced grassroots party organizations will be commended.

　　Next, let me introduce the status of the award of the "Glorious 50 Years in the Party" commemorative medal.

　　The Party Central Committee attaches great importance to the work of encouragement, care and assistance within the party, especially the care and care for old party members.

The "Measures for Inner-Party Care and Assistance of the Communist Party of China" promulgated in 2019 stipulate that party members who have reached 50 years of party experience and have consistently performed well will be awarded the "50 Years of Glory in the Party" commemorative medal.

　　According to the arrangement of the Party Central Committee, before July 1 this year, the commemorative medal of "50 Years of Glory in the Party" was awarded for the first time.

This is an important part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.

The first award is given to members who are alive, have reached 50 years of party membership as of July 1 this year, and have consistently performed well.

The veteran party members have worked and dedicated their lives for the party, and awarded them a medal, which reflects the care and praise of the Party Central Committee. It is conducive to enhancing the sense of honor, belonging and mission of the party members, and is conducive to inspiring generations of party members to work hard, contribute and continue to struggle , Is conducive to gathering the majestic forces of the whole party to realize the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the long-term goal of 2035.

　　At present, the Organization Department of the Central Committee is organizing the design and production of commemorative medals to ensure that more than 7.1 million qualified old party members will be awarded commemorative medals before "July 1". I deeply feel the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. Caring and warm.
