　　As a specialized institution for the historical and theoretical research of the Chinese Communist Party, the Central Party History and Documentation Research Institute once again "telled history" through a press conference on the eve of July 1, becoming another mirror for the outside world to understand the Chinese Communist Party.

The outside world may be able to better understand why the Chinese Communist Party "can" and find the development code of a century-old party.

Why continue to grow and develop?

　　From 1921 to 2021, the Chinese Communist Party has gone through the century.

Looking back at history, many political parties in the world first appeared on the stage with vigor and prominence for a while, but they gradually dimmed, disappeared, and were eventually eliminated by history.

Data show that as of December 31, 2019, the total number of party members of the Communist Party of China was 91.914 million, and the number of grassroots party organizations was 46.81 million.

　　"The Communist Party of China has become the most numerous and largest political party in the world. Why can the Communist Party of China develop so fast?" Faced with this question from a foreign media reporter, Jiang Shuping, Director of the Third Research Department of the Central Party History and Documentation Research Institute, pointed out that the Communist Party of China While focusing on the development of the number of party members, it also pays more attention to the quality of party members.

　　She cited as an example that since the beginning of 2020, in the severe struggle against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Communist Party members have been on the front line and fighting at the forefront, attracting a large number of activists to move closer to the party organization and to follow the party members.

"From joining the party on the front line of the war years to recruiting party members on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, it fully demonstrates that the Communist Party of China has developed and grown in tackling difficulties."

　　Jiang Shuping said that generation after generation of Chinese Communists have not been afraid of hardships and sacrifices for a century, and have worked tirelessly to give full play to their vanguard and exemplary role.

The Communist Party of China has continuously strengthened its own construction and always maintained its advanced nature and purity. Therefore, it has always been the core of strong leadership for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Why is it so prosperous?

　　In addition to always being at the forefront of overcoming difficulties, Jiang Shuping also believes that the Communist Party of China has always been at the forefront of the trend of the times, has always safeguarded the fundamental interests of the people, and has always strengthened the party’s self-construction, precisely because of these four "always", a century-old party To be prosperous and prosperous.

　　For example, for a hundred years, the Communist Party of China has always used the basic principles of Marxism to analyze and grasp historical trends, correctly handle the relationship between China and the world, and be good at seizing and making good use of various historical opportunities.

Grasp the initiative and win the future in the advancing trend of the times.

　　The centuries-old party can never do without the inheritance of the red gene.

Teenagers are the future of the country and the hope of the nation. How to strengthen the education of party history among young people has a bearing on the future development of the CCP.

　　Liu Ronggang, deputy director of the Seventh Research Department of the Central Party History and Documentation Research Institute, introduced that in recent years, through the holding of the National College Student Party History Knowledge Competition and the National Red Story Contest, the "First Class", "Party History Story Bank" and Weibo In documentaries and other films, young people feel the CCP’s great journey more personally, which has contributed to the cultivation of socialist builders and successors.

Why does it bring about profound changes?

　　Looking back over a hundred years, the Chinese Communist Party has repeatedly lifted the fog in the midst of historical changes.

Looking at history and thinking about the past, people can't help thinking about the grand historical question: How do you view the contribution made by the Chinese Communist Party in the past century?

Why did the CCP make such a contribution?

　　"This issue is very important," said Qu Qingshan, president of the Central Party History and Documentation Research Institute. "I think it can be understood and grasped from four aspects. I summarize it as four'profound changes'."

　　- It has profoundly changed the tragic fate of China's poverty, weakness, and bullying after modern times.

Since the founding of the Communist Party of China, it has united and led the people in 28 years of bloody battles and established the New China. After more than 70 years of unremitting struggle, China's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, national defense strength, and comprehensive national strength have entered the forefront of the world, and the Chinese nation has stood in the east of the world with a new attitude. .

　　-It has profoundly changed the tragic situation of the Chinese people being oppressed, enslaved, and exploited.

After the founding of New China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people have truly become masters of the country, society, and their own destiny.

The average life expectancy of residents across the country has increased from 35 years before liberation to 77.3 years, which is a microcosm of this historic change.

　　-It has profoundly changed the future and destiny of the Chinese nation.

The Communist Party of China united and led the people to fight for national independence, waged an indomitable struggle, and completely abolished the unequal treaties imposed on China by the great powers and all the privileges of imperialism in China.

Now, the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from becoming rich to becoming strong, and has ushered in a bright prospect for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　-It has profoundly changed the trend and pattern of world development.

Socialism with Chinese characteristics has become the mainstay of world socialism, providing new options for countries and nations in the world that both want to accelerate development and maintain their independence, and provide Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions for solving human problems.

　　Why does the Chinese Communist Party "can"?

History has already given the answer.

From the first press conference of the celebration, people may be able to better find the CCP’s development code and understand a century-old party that has been growing and flourishing, and has profoundly changed China and the world.
