Pay homage to the red site

  In the process of visiting the Xibaipo Memorial Hall, the former residence of Comrade Mao Zedong, the war room of the Central Military Commission, and the site of the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee, my mood has always been difficult to calm down.

Looking at pictures, objects, telegrams, and stories, my thinking has been deeply educated again.

History is the best textbook.

For us Communists, the history of the Chinese revolution is the best nutrient.

To revisit our party’s great history of leading the people in revolutions will increase a lot of positive energy in our hearts.

This feeling of mine, I think all comrades here will have it.

  ——Speech when investigating and guiding the party’s mass line education practice activities in Hebei on July 11 and 12, 2013

  Yesterday, when I set foot on the land of Lankao, my mood was still very uneasy.

In the Comrade Jiao Yulu Memorial Hall, even though what I see and hear is familiar, I still want to see and listen more, because every object and every story can resonate in my heart.

We live in the Jiao Yulu Cadre Academy, and we can see the paulownia tree that Comrade Jiao Yulu planted when we go out.

  Ningxia is a red land with a glorious revolutionary tradition.

In 1926, Ningxia established our party organization.

Both the Long March and the Western Expedition of the Red Army fought in Ningxia, after which the people of Ningxia made important contributions to the construction of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Revolutionary Base and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, the Anti-Japanese War and the victory of the Chinese Revolution.

This time we went to Jiangtaipu and experienced the historical scene of the three main forces of the Red Army meeting on the spot, and once again received a profound education.

We must remember revolutionary history and inherit revolutionary traditions, and use them to educate the broad masses of cadres and the masses, and educate generations of youth.

  —— Speech at the end of the inspection work in Ningxia on July 20, 2016

  Every cultural relic of the founding of the party is very precious, and every scene is intriguing. We must always recall and think deeply to interpret the original intention of our party.

The purpose is to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, to cherish the memory of the revolutionary martyrs and to comfort the heroes of the revolution.

Every time I visit the old revolutionary areas, I always pay my respects to the historical memorial sites of the revolution.

Declaring that the Communist Party of China will always hold high the red banner, firmly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and continue to advance the cause pioneered by its ancestors.

Inherit the red spirit

  In the red land of Yimeng, countless heroic sons and daughters were born. The deeds of the six Yimeng sisters, the Yimeng mother, and the Yimeng Hongsao were very touching.

The Yimeng spirit, like the Yan'an spirit, Jinggangshan spirit, and Xibaipo spirit, is a precious spiritual wealth of the party and the country, and it must continue to be carried forward in accordance with the conditions of the new era.

  ——Speech during an inspection tour in Shandong from November 24 to 28, 2013

  Yan'an is a sacred place for revolution.

The Yan'an period was a period in which the Chinese revolutionary cause led by our party went from a low tide to a high tide and achieved a historic turning point.

The fine traditions and style of work left by the older generation of revolutionaries and communists in the Yan'an period have cultivated a firm and correct political direction, an ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and self-reliance and hard work. The Yan'an spirit, whose main content is spirit, is the precious spiritual wealth of our party.

During my life in Yanchuan, I had a personal understanding of the spirit of Yan'an. Every time I visited Yan'an, I was full of admiration and excitement in my heart.

This time I went to Yan'an again, and I was still deeply educated.

Today, to administer the party strictly in an all-round way, we must continue to draw strength from the Yan'an spirit.

  —— Speech at the end of the inspection work in Shaanxi on February 15, 2015

  Jinggangshan is the cradle of the Chinese revolution.

The great practice of the Jinggangshan struggle is of key significance to the exploration and choice of the Chinese revolutionary road, and to the growth of the Communist Party of China and the People's Army.

The most precious treasure left to us during the Jinggangshan period is the Jinggangshan spirit that spans time and space.

The most important aspect of the Jinggangshan spirit is firm conviction, hard work, seeking truth from facts, daring to break new paths, relying on the masses, and being brave to win.

Comrade Mao Zedong, Comrade Deng Xiaoping, Comrade Jiang Zemin, and Comrade Hu Jintao all put forward clear requirements for carrying forward the Jinggangshan spirit.

Today, we must combine the conditions of the new era to let the spirit of Jinggangshan radiate the light of the new era.

  —— Speech at the end of the inspection work in Jiangxi on February 3, 2016

  Carrying forward the spirit of the Great Long March and taking the Long March road well today is a major issue we face under the conditions of the new era.

The great Long March spirit is the precious spiritual wealth that the party and the people have paid a great price and engaged in a great struggle. For generations to come, we must keep in mind the great Long March spirit, learn the great Long March spirit, and carry forward the great Long March spirit, and make it our party and our country. , Our people, our army, and our nation have a strong spiritual power to move toward the future.

  —— Speech at the meeting to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March on October 21, 2016

  During my work in Zhejiang, I once summarized the "Red Boat Spirit" as the pioneering spirit of pioneering the world, daring to be the first, the spirit of firm ideals, persevering struggle, and the dedication of building the party for the public and loyal to the people.

We must combine the characteristics of the times to vigorously promote the "Red Boat Spirit".

Tell the red story

  It is very important to be able to tell stories and tell them well. In ideological and political classes, we must tell the stories of the Chinese nation, the Chinese Communist Party, the People’s Republic of China, the socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the stories of reform and opening up, especially the stories of reform and opening up. The story of the new era.

  ——A speech at the school's ideological and political theory teacher's symposium on March 18, 2019

  New China was forged by countless revolutionary martyrs with their blood and lives.

We must deeply understand the hard-won red regime, the hard-won New China, and the hard-won socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The West Route Army’s heroic spirit of defying hardships and fighting blood, and the spirit of heroic dedication to the party and the people is in line with the spirit of the Long March, and is an important part of the red gene of the Chinese Communists and the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation.

We must tell the story of the party, the story of the Red Army, the story of the West Route Army, and pass on the red gene well.

  ——Speech during the inspection in Gansu from August 19 to 22, 2019

  Draught never forgets the well digger.

We must never forget the revolutionary martyrs and the people in the old areas. We must build the old revolutionary areas better so that the people in the old areas can lead a better life.

We must do a good job in old revolutionary areas and poverty-stricken areas, ensure the lives of the masses in the old areas, and let the revolutionary martyrs smile.

The descendants of the Red Army and the families of revolutionary martyrs are persuasive and appealing to pass on the revolutionary spirit. They must tell the heroic stories of their ancestors and the younger generation to encourage people to follow the party unswervingly and strive for a better life.

  ——Speech during the investigation in Henan from September 16 to 18, 2019

  Party members and cadres should learn more about the history of the Party and the history of New China, consciously accept the education of the red tradition, learn constantly, and constantly understand, consolidate and sublimate their ideals and beliefs.

Revolutionary museums, memorials, party history museums, and martyrs' cemeteries are the red gene bank of the party and the state.

It is necessary to tell the stories of the party, the revolution, the base, the stories of heroes and martyrs, strengthen revolutionary traditional education, patriotism education, and youth ideological and moral education, and carry on the red gene well to ensure that the red country will never change its color.

  ——Speech during the investigation in Henan from September 16 to 18, 2019

  We must study the history of the party and the history of New China, understand the value of the party's original aspiration and mission, and understand the importance of sticking to the party's original aspiration and mission.

Yunnan has a glorious revolutionary tradition, and there are many touching stories.

These stories should be used as vivid teaching materials for the education of "not forgetting the original intention and keeping in mind the mission", and guide the majority of party members and cadres to continuously examine and nourish their original aspirations, and constantly temper their political character of loyalty, cleanness and responsibility.

  ——Speech when visiting cadres and masses of all ethnic groups in Yunnan on the eve of the Spring Festival from January 19 to 21, 2020

  One hundred years ago, Comrade Chen Wangdao translated the first full Chinese translation of the "Communist Manifesto", which played an important role in guiding a large number of people with lofty ideals to establish the lofty ideal of communism and devote themselves to the cause of national liberation and revitalization.

Now, you are actively preaching the story of the old principal, Comrade Chen Wangdao, who is pursuing the truth and spreading Marxist theory. This is a very meaningful thing.

I hope you will stick to it and do better.

  ——Response letter to the young faculty and student party members of Fudan University on June 27, 2020

Make good use of red resources

  As far as the army is concerned, the core and most important thing for firm belief and conviction is to forge the soul of the army and unswervingly uphold the party's absolute leadership over the army.

Just now, while visiting the Military History Museum, I was deeply impressed by the story of the "half belt" of the 274th Regiment of the 93rd Division of the Red 31st Army during the Long March.

The soldiers of the Red Army would rather endure starvation, but would also leave half of their belts behind and take it with them to "go to Yan'an to meet Chairman Mao."

This is the power of faith, and it is a vivid portrayal of "the iron heart follows the party."

There are many red resources like this in the army. They must be well explored and used to enrich the connotation of the "Red Gene from Generation to Generation" project, strengthen party history, military history and glorious tradition education, and ensure that officers and soldiers will always listen to and follow the party.

  —— Speech during the inspection of the 13th Army on January 5, 2016

  Chongqing is a heroic land with a glorious revolutionary tradition.

Comrade Mao Zedong conducted the Chongqing negotiations that determine the future and destiny of China. Comrade Zhou Enlai led the Southern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to wage a resolute struggle against the reactionary forces. Comrade Deng Xiaoping led the Southwest Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to carry out a lot of pioneering work here.

A large number of communists with awe-inspiring righteousness and high morale have emerged in Chongqing, such as Zhao Shiyan and others, who have firm beliefs and are not afraid of sacrifice, Wang Liang and others who are brave and well-fighted and have made numerous achievements, and Jiang Zhuyun, Wang Pu, and Chen Ran who are steadfast and unyielding and will never betray the party. People, Qiu Shaoyun, a combat hero who strictly observes discipline and has the courage to sacrifice, and so on.

During the War of Liberation, many Chinese Communists imprisoned in Zhazidong and Bai Mansion, endured all kinds of torture, indomitable, preferring to die, and gave their precious lives to the cause of the Chinese people's liberation, condensed into the "Red Rock Spirit."

Chongqing should use these red resources to educate and guide the broad masses of party members and cadres to strengthen their ideals and beliefs, cultivate abundance of righteousness, strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidence", and achieve "two safeguards". Maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee in terms of direction, political principles, and political roads.

  —— Speech at the end of the inspection work in Chongqing on April 17, 2019

  Revolutionary victory has never fallen from the sky. It has not been surrendered by others, but has been exchanged for bloody sacrifices.

In the twenty-eight years of bloody battles in the Hubei, Henan, Anhui and Soviet regions, 200,000 Dabie Mountain children gave their precious lives, and there were more than 130,000 registered martyrs. At that time, Xinxian County, with a population of less than 100,000, had 55,000 people sacrificed for the revolution. .

Henan is also a place where many heroes are born. Yang Jingyu, Peng Xuefeng, Ji Hongchang, etc. are all heroes and martyrs from Henan.

We must do a good job in the study of party history and the history of New China, make good use of red resources, and enhance the effectiveness of party spirit education, so that party members and cadres can keep their original aspirations and missions in receiving red education, and make the revolutionary martyrs fight for and sacrifice for the greatness. Work hard to move forward.

  ——Speech at the end of the inspection work in Henan on September 18, 2019

  Shanghai is the birthplace of our party. After the founding of the party, the party's central organs have been stationed in Shanghai for a long time.

I visited the site of a party conference many times, and I felt deeply touched each time.

Shanghai should use these rich red resources as vivid teaching materials for thematic education, and guide the majority of party members and cadres to study party history, new China history, and the history of reform and opening up, so that they can pass on their original aspirations, shoulder the mission forever, and truly realize it The two centenary goals and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are courageously striving and leading the way.

  —— Speech at the end of the inspection work in Shanghai on November 3, 2019

  Shanxi is also a place with a glorious revolutionary tradition. It is the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. It is one of the main battlefields of the Anti-Japanese War. It established the Jinsui, Jinchaji, Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu anti-Japanese base areas. The Luliang spirit is the precious spiritual wealth of our party.

These must be fully explored and utilized to provide spiritual strength for the development of Shanxi with rich and colorful historical culture and red cultural resources.

  —— Speech at the end of the inspection work in Shanxi on May 12, 2020

  In 1935, Chairman Mao led the Red Army and moved to Ningxia, leaving behind the red tale of "Single Family Ji Night Talk".

In 1936, the First and Second Front Army of the Red Army joined forces in Jiangtaipu.

The Long March of the Red Army left a precious red memory in Ningxia.

You must use these red resources to educate party members and cadres to inherit the red genes and take the long march of the new era.

  —— Speech at the end of the inspection work in Ningxia on June 10, 2020

  Jilin has a glorious revolutionary tradition.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, under extremely harsh conditions, General Yang Jingyu led the anti-Japanese armed forces to brave the freezing temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius, fighting bloody battles with enemies several times their own. At the time of sacrifice, his stomach was full of withered grass, bark, and cotton wool. A grain of grain, its deeds are shocking.

During the War of Liberation, the party led the People’s Army to play triumphant triumphs here, with the “three times to the south of the Yangtze”, “four guarantees of the river”, “four wars and four peaces”, and “siege of Changchun”.

During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the people of Jilin also made significant contributions.

These red resources should be used as vivid teaching materials for strengthening ideals and beliefs and strengthening party spirit, organize party members and cadres to study party history, new China history, the history of reform and opening up, and the history of socialist development, and educate and guide party members and cadres to keep their original aspirations forever. Always bear the mission, consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee in ideological and political actions, and unswervingly strive for the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
