Hello
The letter is received.
In the 70 years since the publication of "Literature, History and Philosophy", under the leadership of the party, several generations of editors have been upright and innovative, passed on from generation to generation, and have done a lot of work in promoting Chinese civilization and prospering academic research. They have won a certain reputation at home and abroad. Efforts are worthy of recognition.
To strengthen the backbone and confidence to be a Chinese, and to let the world better understand China and understand China, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of Chinese civilization, and explain in depth how to better adhere to the Chinese road and promote the Chinese spirit from the perspective of combining history and reality, theory and practice. Consolidate China's strength.
A good answer to this major issue requires the joint efforts of the majority of philosophy and social science workers to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture under the conditions of the new era.
High-quality academic journals must stick to their original aspirations, lead innovation, display high-level research results, support the growth of outstanding academic talents, and promote academic exchanges between China and foreign countries.
I hope you will continue to work hard to make the publication better.
Xi Jinping
