China News Service, Beijing, March 31 (Reporter Wang Kai) As we all know, Marxist parties have different names in different countries and different historical periods.

There is also a saying in ancient Chinese that "if the name is not correct, then the words will not go well, and if the words are not good, then things will not be done."

So how did the name "Chinese Communist Party" come about?

What kind of story is behind it?

This cannot fail to mention Cai Hesen, one of the important founders of the Communist Party of China.

  In August and September 1920, he was studying in France for a work-study program. In two letters to Mao Zedong, he first proposed the name "Communist Party of China" and advocated "the official establishment of a Communist Party of China blatantly."

Before and after, Chen Duxiu was in Shanghai, and Li Dazhao and Zhang Shenfu also discussed the party's name through letters in Beijing, and decided to adopt the "Communist Party" as the name of the Chinese proletarian party.

  Cai Hesen not only first proposed the name of the "Communist Party of China" and the idea of ​​"establishing the Communist Party," he also put forward a series of far-reaching propositions on the nature of the party and its guiding ideology.

  He believes that: 1. This party must be a proletarian revolutionary party; 2. This party must take Marxism as its guiding ideology; 3. This party must adopt a radically revolutionary approach and oppose reformism; 4. This party must keep close contact with the masses; 5. This party must have iron discipline...

  In such a difficult environment at the time, in the face of many uncertainties and complex situations, it is undoubtedly difficult and commendable to still be able to make these propositions clearly and clearly.

  In Mao Zedong's reply to Cai Hesen, he praised him for his insight, and he did not disagree with a word.

And Cai Hesen himself has been practicing these thoughts in his revolutionary work since then, until he was betrayed by a traitor for his bravery and righteousness, and he was not shaken or changed in the slightest.

  Through this "history of the name", we can also find that the Communist Party of China wrote Marxism on its banner from the very beginning, regarded the realization of communism as the highest ideal and ultimate goal, and regarded the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the history of the nation state. The mission is organically unified with the lofty mission of communism in the world history.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in the report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: “Don’t forget your original aspirations, and you will always succeed. The original aspiration and mission of the Chinese Communists is to seek happiness for the Chinese people and to seek rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.

  A hundred years have passed, and the ideas of the revolutionary ancestors such as Cai Hesen deeply influenced generations of Chinese Communists and became their common ideals and beliefs.

  For the Chinese Communist Party, the name that has been called for a hundred years is not only an appellation, but also records the original aspirations and missions of the early Communists, reflects many great spirits and fine traditions, and carries a period of history that cannot be forgotten. Looking back on why she got her name is to relive her original goals and ideals, to keep in mind her unchanging purpose and mission, and to inspire the Chinese Communists to keep moving forward.
