In his speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping comprehensively summarized the great achievements in all aspects of the party’s unity and leadership of the people over the past century. He clearly pointed out, “In the new era, the most important thing is to strengthen the beliefs and beliefs in the new era. Self-confidence, cultural self-confidence.

——"The inevitable requirement for advancing the party's self-revolution and maintaining the party's vitality."
Powerful parties are forged in self-revolution.
The courage to self-revolution and strict management of the party are the most distinctive character of our party, and it is also our party's greatest advantage.
General Secretary Xi Jinping summed up the history of our party from small to large, from weak to strong, and profoundly pointed out, "For a hundred years of wind, frost, snow and rain, and a hundred years of great waves and sands, our party can grow from the initial more than 50 party members to today’s more than 91 million party members. The key to overcoming one difficulty after another and achieving one victory after another is that we always insist that the party must manage the party, strictly govern the party in an all-round way, and carry out a thorough self-revolution while promoting the social revolution."
Carrying out concentrated learning and education in the whole party is an important way for our party to promote self-revolution, and it is also an important experience.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has successively organized and carried out mass line education practice activities, "three stricts and three realities" special education, "two studies and one action" learning and education, "not forgetting the original intention, keeping in mind the mission." The theme education has significantly improved the party’s creativity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness, and the party’s self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation, and self-improvement capabilities have been continuously enhanced.
The great social revolution does not stop, and the great self-revolution cannot stop.
At present, the party is leading the people to march toward the goal of a modern and powerful socialist country. Compared with this great social revolution, there are still some mismatches and incompatibility in the party's self-construction.
Strictly administering the party in an all-round way is far from complete, and self-revolution cannot be relaxed.
The general secretary pointed out, "To carry out party history study and education in the whole party is to educate and guide the whole party to continue to carry forward the thorough revolutionary spirit at the critical moment of starting a new journey, to insist on a comprehensive and strict governance of the party, always on the road, and to maintain the'rush for exams'. Sober, lead the new great social revolution with the party's self-revolution in the new era."
Feel the power of thought
From September to November 1938, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Party was held in Yan'an. At the meeting, Comrade Mao Zedong clearly put forward the major proposition of "Marxism Sinicization".
Comrade Mao Zedong also specially reminded the whole party: "If our party has one hundred to two hundred comrades who have learned Marxism-Leninism systematically, not piecemeal, and practically rather than emptily, it will greatly improve our party’s fighting. power."
Today, our party has confirmed Comrade Mao Zedong's hopes and expectations with the fruitful results of the Sinicization of Marxism.
Over the past 100 years, our party has adhered to Marxism with an unwavering stance and developed Marxism with a scientific and realistic attitude, making Marxism flourish and vigorous on the land of China, and leading the party and the state to achieve one after another. Great victory.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly summarized the tremendous and far-reaching impact of Marxism on the Chinese nation and Chinese civilization, and once again pointed out: "Marxism is a powerful force for us to understand the world, grasp the laws, pursue the truth, and transform the world. Ideological weapons are the guiding ideology that our party and country must always follow."
The vitality of theory lies in innovation.
"Marxism has profoundly changed China, and China has greatly enriched Marxism." For one hundred years, our party has adhered to the unity of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, cultivating the unity and consolidating the foundation and keeping the integrity and innovation, and constantly opening up a new realm of Marxism. Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of "Three Represents", and the scientific outlook on development were born, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era was born.
General Secretary Xi Jinping reviewed this great historical process and clarified profound conclusions: "The history of our party is a history of continuously advancing Marxism in China, and a history of continuously advancing theoretical innovation and theoretical creation."
Our party has always attached importance to ideological building and theoretical strengthening of the party. All previous concentrated education activities have been preceded by ideological education and theoretical study.
The first task of carrying out party history study and education in the whole party is to strengthen ideological and theoretical arms.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out: “It is necessary to educate and guide the whole party to understand how Marxism has profoundly changed China and the world from the extraordinary course of the party, understand the truth and practical power of Marxism, and deepen the understanding of Marxism. The understanding of the theoretical quality of Sinicized Marxism that is both in line and advancing with the times, especially in conjunction with the historic achievements and historical changes in the party and the country since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and deeply study and understand the party’s new era. Innovate theories and unremittingly use the latest achievements of the party's innovative theories to arm the mind, guide practice, and promote work."
Thought is power.
To study and understand the party’s innovative theory in the new era, the most fundamental task is to thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping’s thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
This important thought was forged in the great struggle of the new era, and demonstrated its majestic strength in guiding the great practice of the new era, guiding our party to forge the glory of the new era.
Building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is an ambitious goal and an arduous task. It is inseparable from the nourishment and guidance of Xi Jinping’s thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
The whole party should deeply understand the scientific and truthful nature of this important thought from the history of the party’s ideological development and theoretical innovation, and deeply grasp its significance, rich connotation, scientific system, spiritual essence, and practical requirements, and promote this important Thoughts go deep into the hearts of the people, take root in the ground, and earnestly build a common ideological foundation for the unity and struggle of all people, so that scientific thoughts can be transformed into powerful material forces.
Grasp the general trend of development
"The trend of the world is mighty and prosperous if you follow it, and you perish if you go against it."
To rejuvenate a country and a nation, it must advance in the logic of historical advancement and develop in the trend of the times.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping reiterated the historical law that socialism will inevitably replace capitalism, and pointed out that “this is an irreversible general trend in the development of human society, but it needs to go through a long historical process. In this process, we We must base ourselves on reality, grasp the general historical trend at each stage, and do a good job of the present."
Throughout one hundred years of struggle, our party has always used the basic principles of Marxism to analyze and grasp the general trend of history, correctly handle the relationship between China and the world, and be good at seizing and making good use of various historical opportunities.
General Secretary Xi Jinping comprehensively reviewed our party's glorious course of grasping the general trend, following the trend, and winning historical initiative along the way.
From the birth of the party to the promotion of the anti-Japanese national united front, from the establishment and consolidation of the People’s Republic of China to the implementation of reform and opening up, all were the result of grasping the laws and general trend of historical development, seizing the opportunity of historical change, and taking advantage of the trend.
Since last year, in the face of the epidemic of the century and the changes of a century, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has foresighted and judged the situation. It has led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to rise to the difficulties and respond calmly, carrying out thrilling and arduous struggles. The severe tests of the turbulent seas time after time have produced an answer sheet that is satisfactory to the people and world-renowned and can be recorded in the annals of history, and has won the historical initiative in seeking opportunities from crises and turning crises into opportunities.
"Although there is wisdom, it is better to take advantage of the situation." The party's history contains profound principles of understanding the general situation and knowing the responsibility.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "It is necessary to educate and guide the whole party to keep in mind the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the great changes in the world unseen in a century, to establish a great historical view, to analyze the evolution mechanism and explore the laws of history from the long history, the tide of the times, and the global situation. Propose corresponding strategies and strategies to enhance the system, foresight, and creativity of work."
The more challenges we face, the more we must follow the logic of historical advancement and conform to the development trend of the times.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, in the face of more complex and changing international and domestic situations, General Secretary Xi Jinping has profoundly grasped the general trend of the world and the law of development, made strategic judgments about my country's entry into a new stage of development and a strategic decision to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern.
The whole party and the people of the whole country accurately grasp the new development stage, thoroughly implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, enhance the awareness of opportunities and risks, accurately recognize changes, respond scientifically, and actively seek changes, and they will definitely be able to achieve higher quality and better quality. Efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development.
Embrace the people's feelings
In the spring of 1949, the last major battle of the Liberation War was about to unfold on the Yangtze River.
In order to prevent the People's Liberation Army from crossing the river, the Kuomintang army moved and destroyed ships along the coast.
However, with the support of the local people, in only half a month, the People's Liberation Army recruited more than 10,000 ships and more than 20,000 boat workers to force the Yangtze River to break through the defense line painstakingly managed by the Kuomintang reactionaries in one fell swoop.
In August 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was investigating in Anhui, revisited that period of revolutionary history in the Memorial Hall of the Battle of Crossing River, with infinite emotion: "The victory of the Battle of Huaihai was brought out by the people with cars, and the victory of the Battle of Crossing was depended on. The people rowed out with small boats. At any time, we must not forget our original aspirations, keep our mission in mind, and never forget the root of the people, and always be loyal people’s servants."
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again reviewed the history of the Battle of Huaihai and the Battle of Crossing the Yangtze River, and further emphasized: "Our party comes from the people, and the roots and blood of the party are in the people. Born for the people, prosperous because of the people, and always Staying with the people and fighting for the interests of the people is the fundamental starting point and goal for our party to build and strengthen the party."
The century-long history of our party is a history of fulfilling the original mission of the party, a history of the party and the people connecting, breathing together, and sharing a common destiny.
General Secretary Xi Jinping looked back fondly on the huge historical role and contribution made by the people in the course of revolution, construction, and reform, and proclaimed the whole party loudly and loudly: "History has fully proved that the country is the people and the people are the country, and the hearts of the people are steadfast. It has a bearing on the life and death of the party. If you win the people’s trust and get the people’s support, the party will be able to overcome any difficulties and be invincible. On the contrary, we will achieve nothing or even decline."
Always staying with the people and fighting for the people's interests is determined by the nature and purpose of our party.
The party’s charter is clear and clear. The Communist Party of China is the vanguard of the Chinese working class and at the same time the vanguard of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation.
The party constitution also clearly stipulates that the party insists on serving the people wholeheartedly, putting the interests of the masses first at all times, and sharing ups and downs with the masses and maintaining the closest ties.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping led everyone to review these provisions of the Party Constitution and pointed out clearly, "We must adhere to respect for the laws of social development and the unity of the people’s historical dominant position, fight for lofty ideals, and work for the majority of the people. The consistency of interests, the completion of the party’s work and the realization of the consistency of the people’s interests, never divorce from the masses, share blessings with the masses, share difficulties with the masses, share salt with salt, and without salt with salt”; emphasizing “education is necessary” Guide the whole party to deeply understand the nature and purpose of the party, insist on doing everything for the people and relying on the people, always put the people in the highest position in their hearts, take the people's yearning for a better life as the goal of struggle, and promote the results of reform and development to benefit all people more and more equitably , To promote common prosperity to achieve more obvious substantive progress, and unite the 1.4 billion Chinese people into a majestic force to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
Sum up historical experience
"If you want to look at the future, you must look at history."
The Communists "relied on summing up experience to feed themselves."
Our party is coming step by step. One very important thing is to constantly sum up experience, improve our skills, and constantly improve our ability to deal with risks, meet challenges, and turn risks into bargains.
History records the glory of struggle and also guides the direction of the future.
The 100-year history of the Communist Party of China is magnificent and colorful. It has accumulated extremely valuable historical experience and contains extremely profound historical enlightenment.
Why is the party's historical experience so precious?
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that this is because "The party’s experience is not dropped from the sky, nor copied from books. It is the accumulation of our party’s long-term groping through hardships and storms. It is full of successes and failures. Harmony with gains and losses, congealed with blood and sweat, full of wisdom and courage."
This is the fact.
In the revolutionary war years, Comrade Mao Zedong summed up the united front, armed struggle, and party building as the "three magic weapons" for defeating the enemy and played an important role in our party's victory in the revolution, and it still plays an important role today.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has summarized the party’s historical experience from different angles on important occasions such as celebrating the 95th anniversary of the founding of the party, the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, and the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, and promoted socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Get a new great victory.
It is wise to learn history and learn from the past.
At present, my country’s development is facing unprecedented risks and challenges, both domestic and international, both in political, economic, cultural, and social fields, as well as those from the natural world, both traditional and non-traditional. The "black swan", The "gray rhino" will come unexpectedly. It must be enlightened from history, and the magic weapon for defeating the enemy must be extracted from historical experience.
General Secretary Xi Jinping requested, “We must grasp the important node of the party’s one hundred years of founding, proceed from the great struggle with many new historical characteristics, sum up and apply the party’s rich experience in successfully coping with risks and challenges in different historical periods, and do a good job for a long time. Ideological preparations and work preparations to respond to changes in the external environment, continuously enhance the awareness of struggle, enrich the experience of struggle, enhance the ability to fight, and continuously improve the ability and level of governance and administration, look at the worst, make the most adequate preparations, and work in the good direction. Strive for the best results".
The key to managing China's affairs is the party; the party's self-building is of great importance and affects the overall situation.
Our party must always be the vanguard of the times, the backbone of the nation, and always be a Marxist party. It must always be strong, and must be brave to revolutionize itself, eliminate all factors that damage the party's advanced nature and purity, and ensure that the party always maintains vigorous vitality and strong combat effectiveness.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward requirements for the entire party: “By summing up historical experience and lessons, focusing on solving the practical problems of party building, continuously improving the party’s leadership and governance level, and strengthening the resistance to corruption, degeneration, and resistance. Risk capability ensures that our party is always at the forefront of the times in the historical process of profound changes in the world situation, and has always become the backbone of the people of the country in the historical process of responding to various risks and challenges at home and abroad. It is in upholding and developing the history of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Become a strong core of leadership throughout the process."
Continuing the spiritual blood
In 1923, in the face of the repression of the reactionary warlords and the low tide of the labor movement, Comrade Li Dazhao published an article "Tough National Destiny and Vigorous Citizens", in which he wrote in a spirit of high revolutionary optimism: "The road of history is not all about peace. Yes, sometimes you get to the realm of difficulties and obstacles, which can only be rushed through with a strong spirit."
The spiritual torch of the party's original mission has illuminated the long journey of Chinese revolution, construction, and reform from victory to victory.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping reviewed the history of the party and pointed out with great emotion and pride: “No party in the world has encountered so many difficulties and obstacles and experienced so many life and death tests like ours. , Has made so many tragic sacrifices. In the past 100 years, in dealing with various difficulties and challenges, our party has tempered the strength and quality of not fearing powerful enemies, not fearing risks, daring to fight, and daring to win. This is the best of our party. Distinctive qualities and characteristics."
In a hundred years of extraordinary struggle, generations of Chinese Communists have worked stubbornly and unremittingly, and there have emerged a large number of revolutionary martyrs who regard death as their home, a large number of stubborn heroes, and a large number of advanced models of selfless dedication.
Jinggangshan Spirit, Long March Spirit, Zunyi Meeting Spirit, Yan'an Spirit, Xibaipo Spirit, Hongyan Spirit, Spirit of Resisting U.S. Aid Korea, "Two Bombs and One Star" Spirit, Special Zone Spirit, Flood Fighting Spirit, Earthquake Relief Spirit, Anti-epidemic Spirit, Poverty Alleviation Spirit... …The spiritual monuments of the Chinese Communists stand tall, shining through the ages, and will never fade.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping systematically explained the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese Communists. Haomai pointed out, “The reason why our party has been prosperous and prosperous after a hundred years, and has survived hardships, is because of such a revolution and hard work. "The powerful spirit of the Chinese Communist Party"; "These precious spiritual wealth span time and space, and will last forever.

The whole party is like a solid piece of steel
From April to June 1945, the Seventh National Congress of the Party was successfully held in Yan'an.
This conference established Mao Zedong Thought as the party's guiding ideology, and elected a central leadership group with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core, which enabled the entire party to achieve unprecedented unity in ideology, politics, and organization.
After the meeting, the whole party was "like a harmonious family, like a solid piece of steel", united and fought bravely, and soon won the victory of the new democratic revolution.

In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping reiterated this point, emphasizing that "we must always work hard."
This is a profound conclusion drawn from a profound summary of the party's historical experience in both the pros and cons.
During the Long March, the Zunyi Conference established Comrade Mao Zedong’s leadership position in the Party Central Committee and the Red Army, and achieved a great transition of life and death. However, the whole party truly understood the significance of maintaining the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership and became a conscious action. a process.
During the Yan'an period, our party summed up historical experience and lessons, launched a large-scale rectification campaign, and then convened the Seventh National Congress, which enabled the whole party to achieve unprecedented unity and unity, and laid a strong ideological and political foundation for the victory of the War of Resistance and the liberation of the country.

Only by ensuring that the entire party obeys the Central Committee, upholding the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership, can the entire party's more than 91 million party members and more than 4.6 million grassroots party organizations be united into "a hard piece of steel" and the people of all ethnic groups in the country can be closely united. , The formation of a majestic force of one mind and invincibility.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has made every effort to promote the party’s political construction and improve various systems for maintaining the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized leadership. The unity and unity of the Party has been consolidated, but there are still some problems.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping enumerated some of the problems existing in party members and cadres, and solemnly pointed out that “maintaining the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership should not remain in words, but must be reflected in actions”; It is necessary to educate and guide the whole party to learn both positive and negative historical experience from the party history, unswervingly follow the party Central Committee, continuously improve political judgment, political comprehension, and political execution, and earnestly strengthen the'four consciousness' and firmness' four Be self-confident, achieve'two safeguards', consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee in ideological and political action, and ensure that the whole party is twisted into a rope, thinking in one direction, and acting in one direction."
Do a good job of learning and education with high standards
Carrying out the study and education of party history throughout the party is a major event in the party’s political life. It must be fully implemented to achieve real results.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping asked the whole party to "improve the ideological position, be based on reality, be upright and innovative, and complete various tasks of study and education with high standards and high quality", and focused on making arrangements and making requirements from four aspects.

What kind of historical concept is used to understand and grasp the party's history is related to the gathering and dispersal of the party's heart, the people's support, the rise and fall of the country, the rise and fall of the nation, and the future and destiny of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “The materialistic view of history is the fundamental method for us Communists to understand and grasp history. If the view of history is wrong, it will not only fail to achieve the purpose of learning and education, but will go the wrong way and go into a misunderstanding."
The general secretary sternly pointed out some wrong tendencies that are worthy of vigilance, such as "exaggerating the mistakes and twists in the party's history, wantonly smearing and distorting the party's history, and attacking the party's leadership."

The second is to look at some major issues in the party’s history based on facts, and neither can we avoid mistakes and twists and turns because of our achievements, nor can we deny achievements because of the mistakes and twists in our explorations; the third is to oppose history with a clear-cut stand.

The general secretary requested that “strengthen the consciousness of public servants and the feelings of serving the people”, first of all, serving the people based on their own posts, but also “starting with the most difficult people, starting from the most prominent problems, starting from the most realistic interests, and effectively solving them. Difficulties at the grassroots level, troubles for the masses".
To do things for the masses, we must do things well, and "it's not simply helping money and things, making flowers, and stacking a few bonsai."
The general secretary pointed out that “we must not only address the specific problems of the masses’ “emergency and worry”, but also take a long-term perspective, improve the system and mechanisms for solving people’s livelihood issues, and enhance the people’s sense of gain, happiness, and security.
He also specifically emphasized that "it is necessary to build the old areas well and take good care of the descendants of heroes and martyrs, so that they can lead a happier life."

On the other hand, "we must prevent superficiality and fragmentation", and we must not stop at telling stories, At the level of story-telling, it is necessary to guide the majority of party members to deepen their understanding and grasp of the party’s history and deepen their theoretical understanding and understanding of the party through story-telling.
The right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life.
After a century of turmoil and a century of hardship and glory, the big party that is determined to make great achievements in the future is leading the Chinese people on the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
