Political accomplishment is the core of party spirit accomplishment and the fundamental accomplishment of party members and cadres.
At the opening ceremony of the training class for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National School of Administration) in the spring semester of 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that loyalty to the party is the primary political quality of communists.
Loyalty to the party must be single-minded and consistent. It must be the same between the outside and the inside, and the unity of knowledge and action. At any time and under any circumstances, it must not change its heart, not change its ambition, or destroy its integrity.
This is the sincere admonition of the party general secretary to the communists in the new era.
As the most important political quality, loyalty is absolute, and there is no such thing as relative loyalty.
The key to absolute loyalty to the party lies in the word "absolute", which is the only, thorough, unconditional, unadulterated loyalty without any impurity.
Our party has gone through countless hardships and tribulations since its founding for a century, but no difficulty has crushed us, and no enemy has been able to defeat us. It relies on the absolute loyalty of thousands of Communists.
Communists in the new era will use such standards to demand themselves.
Communists must be loyal to their class and people.
The first sentence of the general outline of the Constitution of the Communist Party of China reads: "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." Comrade Liu Shaoqi once pointed out: "The party spirit of Communist Party members is that the proletariat has the highest class nature. The expression of concentration is the highest and concentrated expression of the interests of the proletariat." Communists must fight for the interests of the proletariat and for the interests of the overwhelming majority, as pointed out in the Communist Manifesto: All past movements are a minority. Human or a movement for the benefit of a few people.
The proletarian movement is an independent movement of the overwhelming majority and for the benefit of the overwhelming majority.
Party spirit contains the profound connotation of people's character.
The people's stand is a significant mark that distinguishes a Marxist party from other parties, and is the fundamental political stand of the Communist Party of China.
The Communist Party of China is a party that represents the interests of the people and does not have its own interests independent of the interests of the people.
The people are the source of our party's strength. The foundation of our party lies in the people, the blood lies in the people, and the strength lies in the people.
Respect or disrespect the dominant position of the masses of the people, recognize or recognize that the masses of people are the creators of history and the decisive force of social development are the dividing line between historical materialism and historical idealism.
Whether a party member can establish a sense of serving the people, practice the party's mass line, establish close ties with the masses, and consciously safeguard the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people is an important criterion for testing whether a party member speaks party spirit.
"The country is the people, and the people are the country." The people's yearning for a better life is the goal of the Communists in the new era.
Seeking happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation is the original mission of our party.
Every member of the Communist Party, whether standing in the world or working in politics, must first solve the problem of "who I am, for whom, and whom I rely on", and constantly pursue the spiritual realm of "I will have no self and live up to the people".
We must worship the people as our teachers and be willing to be primary school students.
We must put the people at the highest position in our hearts, always take the people’s heart as our heart, insist on doing everything for the people and relying on the people, always stick to the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and solve the problem of the people’s "emergency and worry" with heart and soul, so that the masses There is more, more direct, and more real sense of gain.
The Communist Party of China is a political party that seeks happiness for the Chinese people and is also a political party that strives for the cause of human progress.
The Communist Party of China always regards it as its mission to make new and greater contributions to mankind.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has stood at the height of the development process of human history, shouldered the responsibility of the leaders of major powers, correctly grasped the profound changes in the international situation, conformed to the trend of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win times, and pondered deeply.

In the new era, communists must follow the instructions of the General Secretary and always be builders of world peace, contributors to global development, and defenders of international order, and strive to achieve the "two centenary" goals and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Create a more conducive international environment and commit to persist in promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Communists must be loyal to their beliefs and ideals.
This belief is Marxist belief.
This ideal is the ideal of communism.
Ideals are ideals because of their loftyness, and beliefs are convictions because of their persistence.
After all, party spirit is a matter of position.
This stand is the stand of the people, it is the stand of Marxism.
Strengthening the belief in Marxism is the fundamental content of strengthening party spirit education.
Firmly establishing the ideals of communism is the fundamental requirement for the cultivation of party spirit.
Marxism is the doctrine of the complete emancipation of the proletariat in the world and all mankind.
This theory is like a magnificent sunrise, illuminating the way for mankind to explore the laws of history and seek self-liberation.
The science of Marxism has revealed the inevitable trend of human society towards communism.
The communist ideal is the highest ideal pursued by the communists and the essence of the party spirit of the communists.
The Chinese Communist Party is called the Communist Party because it has established communism as a lofty ideal since its founding.
Since modern times, it is the ideals of communism that have turned the Chinese people from passive to active in spirit.
Revolutionary ideals are higher than the sky. Communism is the spiritual banner and source of strength of the Chinese Communists. The party can withstand setbacks and rise again and again, in the final analysis, because the party has lofty ideals and lofty pursuits.
The ideals of communism have led China's revolution, construction, and reform to make great achievements, and will surely lead the Chinese nation to a great rejuvenation.
Without firm communist ideals and beliefs, one would not be qualified to be a party member.
Marxism realized the unity of belief and science, and the unity of value and truth.
Marxism is the "lifeblood and soul" of the Communists, and the "spiritual support" for the Communists to withstand any test.
However, Marxism did not end the truth, but opened up the road to the truth.
As the guiding ideology of the party and the state, Marxism includes both Marxism-Leninism and Sinicized Marxism.
Proceeding from reality, integrating theory with practice, seeking truth from facts, testing and developing truth in practice is the ideological line of the Chinese Communists.
The Chinese Communists combined the basic principles of Marxism with China’s reality, realized the Sinicization of Marxism in the great practice of revolution, construction, and reform, and created Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of "Three Represents", and scientific development. View, founded Xi Jinping’s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era.
In the practice of leading the entire party and people of all ethnic groups to promote the cause of the party and the country, General Secretary Xi Jinping took on the extraordinary theoretical courage, outstanding political wisdom, and strong mission of a Marxist politician, thinker, and strategist. To live up to the people’s unrequited feelings, respond to the changes of the times, set the tide of the times, and be the first of the times, and put forward a series of groundbreaking new ideas, new thoughts and new strategies, which are the basis for Xi Jinping’s thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era. The founding played a decisive role and made a decisive contribution.

It is a powerful ideological weapon for solving contemporary Chinese problems. It is a contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st century Marxism that leads China and influences the world. It is a new era. The ideological banner and spiritual banner of the Chinese Communists are the guiding ideology that the party and the country must uphold for a long time, and they are the action guide for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
In contemporary China, to uphold and develop Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is to truly uphold and develop Marxism and to truly uphold and develop scientific socialism.
Whether our party is strong or not depends on whether the whole party is unwavering in its ideals and beliefs, and more importantly, whether each party member is unwavering in their ideals and beliefs.
Communists in the new era must study the basic principles of Marxism, especially the innovative theoretical results of the party in the new era, and strive to master the standpoints, viewpoints, methods, philosophies, principles, and philosophies contained therein, so as to know what they say, what they mean, and what they do. That's why.

Communists must be loyal to the organization and maintain the unity and unity of the party.
It's up to The communist party to do thing well in China.
The leadership of the Chinese Communist Party is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the basic strategy of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. The "first persistence" of the "14 persistence" is to uphold the party's leadership over all work.
To administer the party strictly in an all-round way, the core is to strengthen the party's leadership, and the focus is on strengthening discipline.
The power of the party comes from organization, and organization can multiply its power.
Our party is a party established in accordance with the principles of Marxist party building. Our party takes democratic centralism as its fundamental organizational system and leadership system, and tight organization is the party’s glorious tradition and unique advantage.
Over the past 100 years, our party has gone through ups and downs, and has continued to move from victory to victory to become the world's largest party. The tight organization is an important guarantee.
We must have the party in our minds, and regard believing in and obeying the organization as life.
Every Communist must consciously strengthen and enhance the party’s consciousness, always put the party at the highest position in his heart, and keep in mind that his first identity is a party member, his first duty is to work for the party, and to be loyal to the organization at all times. Have one heart with the party.
We must strengthen our sense of organization, always think that we are a member of the party and a member of the organization, never forget our due obligations and responsibilities, believe in organization, rely on the organization, obey the organization, consciously accept organizational arrangements and discipline constraints, and consciously maintain the party Unity and unity.
Consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee.
Our party is a highly centralized and unified Marxist party, and ideological unity, political unity, and unity in action are fundamental to the continuous development and growth of the party's cause.
To adhere to the principle of party spirit, we must consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee in ideological and political actions.
Maintaining a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee must be comprehensive, ideological and politically acting in line with the Party Central Committee in all directions, achieving the sameness of the outside and the inside, and the unity of knowledge and action; it must be specific, not just verbal, and must be implemented in all aspects, In all work, it must be firm, resolute response advocated by the Party Central Committee, resolutely follow the decisions of the Party Central Committee, and resolutely eradicate those prohibited by the Party Central Committee. At all times and under any circumstances, the political stance and political direction must be unwavering.
Strictly observe the party's discipline and rules.
Organizational discipline is an important part of the cultivation of party spirit. To enhance party spirit, we must strengthen organizational discipline.
Our party is a Marxist party organized by revolutionary ideals and iron discipline. Strict discipline is the party's glorious tradition and unique advantage.
Mao Zedong said that the line is the "kingdom" and the discipline is the "dominant".
As a party member, iron discipline must be enforced.
To strictly enforce party discipline, the most important thing is to strictly enforce political discipline.
Political discipline is the most important, fundamental, and critical discipline.
Observing the party’s political discipline means adhering to the party’s leadership, adhering to the party’s basic theory, basic line, basic program, basic experience, and basic requirements. In terms of guiding ideology, line, principles and policies, as well as major issues related to the overall situation, ideological and political Maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee.
Observing the party's political discipline is an important basis for observing all party discipline.
Consciously strengthen political experience.
As a Marxist party, our party stresses politics as a prominent feature and advantage.
Without a strong political guarantee, the unity of the party is empty talk.
Every member of the Communist Party must accept the strict tempering of political life within the party, and constantly improve political judgment, political understanding, and political execution ability, so that his political ability matches his job responsibilities.
We must be determined to share worries for the party, fulfill our responsibilities for the country, and contribute to the people, bravely bear hardships, burdens, burdens, and risks, and interpret our loyalty to the party with practical actions.
Continue the great struggle with many new historical characteristics.
In the new era, communists must consciously strengthen their struggle experience, learn to fight in the struggle, grow and improve in the struggle, and strive to become warriors who dare to fight and are good at fighting.
Dare to fight is the distinctive character of our party.
Our party has relied on struggle to reach today, and it will inevitably rely on struggle to win the future.
Persevere in carrying forward the glorious tradition and fine style of the party.
As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, our party has united and led the people to achieve great achievements in revolution, construction, and reform. One very important thing is that our party has cultivated and adhered to a set of glorious traditions and fine styles in long-term practice.
These glorious traditions and fine work styles are a concentrated expression of the nature and purpose of our party, a notable mark that distinguishes our party from other parties, and are also very important internal party rules.
In today’s world, major changes unseen in a century are accelerating. Our country is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It has achieved great historic achievements in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, achieved overall victory in the fight against poverty, and a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. It started smoothly, and we still face many difficulties and challenges on the way forward.
The greater the risk, the greater the challenges, and the heavier the tasks, the more we must strengthen the party’s style of work, invigorate the spirit with a good style, inspire fighting spirit, establish an image, and win the hearts of the people.
Communists must be loyal to the core and resolutely achieve two "maintenances."
A country, a political party, the core of leadership is very important.
To ensure that our party will always be a strong Marxist ruling party and a strong leading force for the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, it must have a core.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping has pointed out many times: "Our party is a revolutionary and fighting party with a highly unified will. The party's organizational principle is democratic centralism. The party must have a leader and a core of leadership." "Leader is the core of unity. He is power." Looking forward to China and the Communist Party of China in the 21st century, Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized in 1990: "The most important thing is to have a united leadership core. In this way, socialism will be maintained for 50 or 60 years. China will be invincible."
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has led the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to continue to advance the great social revolution, ushering in a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, opening up a new realm of Marxism in China, and promoting the party and the country to make historic achievements. , Historical changes have taken place, showing firm beliefs and beliefs, a clear people's stand, extraordinary political wisdom, tenacious will, strong historical responsibility, and superb political art. It has won the heartfelt support of the entire party and people of all ethnic groups and won high praise from the international community.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has become the core of the Party Central Committee and the core of the entire Party in the practice of the new great struggle.
All the party’s leadership practices and all practices of socialism with Chinese characteristics since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China have proved that General Secretary Xi Jinping is the party’s support, the people’s love, and the well-deserved core of the party, the commander-in-chief of the army, and the leader of the people. It is a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The helm of the country and the leader of the people.
The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China formally established the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Party Central Committee and the core position of the whole party. The 19th National Congress of the Party included General Secretary Xi Jinping’s core position of the Party Central Committee and the core position of the whole party into the party constitution, reflecting the whole The common aspiration of the party, the entire army and the people of all ethnic groups in the country lies in the fundamental interests of our party and the country. It is the fundamental guarantee for upholding and strengthening the party’s leadership. It is the great struggle with new historical characteristics and the persistence and development of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The urgent need of a great cause.
This is the common choice, solemn choice, and inevitable choice of history and the people. It is the blessing of the party and the country, the people, and the Chinese nation.
Maintaining the authority of the party and the authority of the party leader is the basic principle of a Marxist party.
The "Opinions on Strengthening the Party’s Political Construction" promulgated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly stated: "The matter lies in the Quartet and the Central Committee. To uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the Party, the most important thing is to resolutely maintain the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership; The most important thing for the authority and centralized leadership of the Party Central Committee is to resolutely maintain the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping's Party Central Committee and the core position of the whole party. "To be loyal to the core, obey the core, and maintain the core is to obey the overall situation and safeguard the overall situation, which is the greatest politics.
In the new era, communists must have a deep understanding of the combination of history and reality, theory and practice, domestic and international, and strengthen their identity, and constantly strengthen their ideological, political, and action awareness of supporting the core, following the core, and defending the core, and always follow Xi Jinping. The Party Central Committee with comrades as the core maintains a high degree of unanimity, must engage in the strategic height of the future and destiny of the Party and the country, and resolutely maintain the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping's Party Central Committee and the core position of the entire party.
"Resolutely safeguard the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping's Party Central Committee and the core position of the whole party, and resolutely safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership." This is the major political achievements and valuable experience of our party since the 18th National Congress of the party. The common will forged in the new great practice is our party's creative use of democratic centralism in the new era, and it is our party's most important political discipline and political rules.
For the Communists in the new era, the core requirement for strengthening political cultivation in the new era is to achieve "two safeguards."
Not only must there be a clear attitude, but also solid actions, take the lead in enhancing the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidence", and implement the "two safeguards" in all aspects of the work of the party and the country, and implement them in concrete terms.
