　　The Chinese Communist Party is about to celebrate its 100th anniversary. After a century, how can this party retain the "vigour" that Edgar Snow saw in Yan'an?

The outside world explored its mystery and tried to study the "source of vitality" of this party from different dimensions.

　　On the eve of July 1, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, made it clear when presiding over the collective study of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in Zhongnanhai: Our party is still prosperous after a hundred years of vicissitudes. Ability and self-revolutionary spirit are the strong support for the party's ability to govern.

　　As he said, the courage to self-revolution and strict management of the party is the key to the CCP’s eternal vitality and youth.

From the "Party Program" of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China to the "Party Constitution" of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, from the three major disciplines during the revolutionary period and eight notices to the eight provisions of the new era, from persevering in uprightness to combat discipline and anti-corruption to continuously strengthening ideological building of the party and developing centralization Learning and education... The history of the CCP’s centuries of struggle is, in essence, a history of self-revolution in the constant rejection of corruption and degeneration.

　　It is true that there are many people who think that self-revolution is a false proposition, "just like a man cannot stab himself with a sharp sword." How can the CCP break the historical dilemma of "revolution of other people's fate is easy, and self-defeating is difficult"?

　　"The reason why our party has the courage to revolutionize itself is because our party does not have any special interests of its own except for the interests of the country, the nation, and the people." Xi Jinping pointed out the fundamentals.

He went on to explain that only by not pursuing personal gain can we seek fundamental and great benefits, and we can proceed from the nature and fundamental purpose of the party, and from the fundamental interests of the people, to examine ourselves; and can not hide shortcomings, avoid problems, refrain from overriding faults, and overcome shortcomings when there are shortcomings. , There is a problem to solve the problem, there is a mistake to admit and correct the mistake.

　　The courage to self-revolution lies in introspection.

This centuries-old party infiltrated in Chinese culture has inherited and carried forward the self-reflection cultivation method in traditional Chinese culture. It has always taken the initiative to examine and exercise strict self-discipline with the attitude of "a gentleman examines himself, if he has ever had a fault".

　　The courage to self-revolution stems more from the CCP’s strong sense of anxiety.

"We must not lose our revolutionary spirit and fighting spirit amidst the cheers and praises, and gradually fall into a state of being content with the status quo, not enterprising, and greedy for pleasure." Xi Jinping repeatedly warned the whole party to keep in mind Mao Zedong's proposal, "We must never be Li Zicheng." "The profound warning of ", keep in mind the "two musts" and the ancient motto of "born in sorrow and dying in happiness". The longer you are in power, the less you can lose the spirit of self-revolution.

　　Focusing on its own "rush for exams", especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CCP has continuously explored "breaking" and "establishing" under the conditions of a long-term ruling power to continue to promote its own revolution and solve the problem of "its prosperity and death suddenly." "Historic subject.

　　In terms of "breaking", the CCP insists on fighting corruption with an iron fist. "Fighting tiger swatters" is a disciplined approach, taking both symptoms and root causes, forming an overwhelming anti-corruption trend and comprehensively consolidating it.

Statistics show that from the end of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to May this year, 392 officials at or above the provincial and ministerial level were filed and investigated by the CCP, and 626,500 cases of mental insufficiency and "four winds" problems were found in the implementation of the eight central regulations.

　　For "establishment", the CCP has successively carried out learning and educational activities such as the mass line, "three stricts and three realities", "two studies and one action", "not forgetting the original aspiration and keeping in mind the mission", and carried out concentrated education in the spirit of rectification, and encouraged the whole party. Always self-reflection; by improving the party and state supervision system, the CCP has also established an effective power supervision system and discipline enforcement system, and systematically realizes the combination of internal party supervision and external supervision.

　　With the self-consciousness to face the problem and the courage to face the problem, the CCP constantly answers and solves the fundamental question of "how to keep its advancement and purity, keep its youth and vitality, how to always get the people's support and support, and how to achieve long-term governance".

As the British scholar Martin Jacques said, "self-renewal in an extremely active way" is an important answer to "why the CCP can always be in power".

According to a trust survey report issued by a world-renowned organization, the Chinese people trust their government as high as 95%, ranking first among the countries surveyed.

Some foreign commentators pointed out that trusting the Chinese Communist Party is the mainstream public opinion in Chinese society.

　　Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that as long as the determination and courage of self-revolution are maintained, the Chinese Communist Party will always maintain its youthful vitality.

In this collective study on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China, he once again urged the whole party to persist in advancing self-revolution, "with the firmness and perseverance on the road, we will push the party in an all-round way and be strict in self-discipline."

　　A hundred years is just a prologue, and now a new journey has begun.

In what state of mind the CCP will move toward the future, and what kind of party image it will face to the world, this century-old party has already made a choice.
