Xinhua News Agency reporters Zhu Jichai and Ding Xiaoxi
There is always a sense of urgency in a century-old party dedicated to great achievements for thousands of years.
Just after the beginning of spring, on the campus of the Central Party School in the western suburbs of Beijing, a seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China started as scheduled.
This class is held at the "critical moment", the first year of fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and the beginning of the spring of the first year.
This class faces the "key minority", and the trainees are members and alternate members of the new Central Committee, as well as major leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels.
This class focuses on "key issues", how to "correctly understand and vigorously promote Chinese-style modernization".
General Secretary Xi Jinping personally approved the class plan and attended the opening ceremony. He delivered a very important speech, which profoundly explained a series of major theoretical and practical issues of Chinese-style modernization, which greatly enriched and developed the theory of Chinese-style modernization.
The spring brings vitality, and the spring thunder bursts, stirring up the sonorous footsteps of the construction of a strong country and the rejuvenation of the nation.
Firm historical self-confidence—"Chinese-style modernization is our answer to the major historical issue of how to wake up the 'sleeping lion' and realize national rejuvenation"
The auditorium located in the center of the Central Party School campus has a vaulted roof and yellow brick veneer.
This cave-style building in northern Shaanxi shows the distinctive genes of a Marxist party that has always attached great importance to theoretical arming.
In the auditorium, the banner of "Study and Implement Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the Spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China" is particularly eye-catching.
At 10 a.m. on the 7th, an ideological feast on "Chinese-style modernization" kicked off here.
More than three months ago, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated the mission and tasks of the Communist Party of China in the new era and new journey, emphasizing "to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-style modernization."
"The first lesson of the first year", why focus on this theme?
General Secretary Xi Jinping made it clear: "I believe that the generalization and in-depth elaboration of the Chinese-style modernization theory is a major theoretical innovation at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the latest major achievement of scientific socialism."
Knowing where to go, Fang knows where to go.
Modernization, this is the arduous pursuit of many people with lofty ideals since modern times.
From the Westernization Movement's "Learning from the Barbarians to Conquer the Barbarians", to the "Reform and Strengthening" of the Reform Movement of 1898, to the "Bourgeois Republic" and "Industrial Revitalization" of the Revolution of 1911... General Secretary Xi Jinping took a long shot of time , Tracing back the history of China's modernization, "The heavy responsibility of exploring the path of China's modernization has historically fallen on the Communist Party of China."
A hundred years of trekking through wind and rain, and a hundred years of singing.
Since its birth, the Communist Party of China has united and led all the struggles of the people in order to build my country into a modern and powerful country and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
From the period of the new-democratic revolution "creating fundamental social conditions for the realization of modernization", to the period of socialist revolution and construction "laying the fundamental political premise and valuable experience, theoretical preparations, and material foundations for modernization", to the new era of reform and opening up and socialist construction The period "provided Chinese-style modernization with an institutional guarantee full of new vitality and material conditions for rapid development"...General Secretary Xi Jinping comprehensively reviewed the glorious history and outstanding contributions made by the party in uniting and leading the people to advance modernization in different historical periods.
Talking about the difficulty of building modernization in the early days of the founding of New China, the general secretary said with emotion: "At that time, our country was poor and white, and even the kerosene, matches, and iron nails we used every day were called foreign oil, matches, and foreign nails."
A student from the central region was particularly impressed by this: From worrying about "what can we build?" to building his own high-speed rail, large aircraft, aircraft carrier, and space station now, he has become a company with the most complete industrial categories and the most complete industrial system in the world. China, the largest manufacturing country in China, took decades to complete the industrialization process that Western developed countries have gone through in hundreds of years. Looking back over a century, I have mixed feelings, and I deeply feel the hardships and greatness of the Chinese-style modernization.
Generation after generation of struggle, one stick after another relay.
History is always written on the shoulders of the predecessors.
Entering the new era, our party has continued to advance on the existing basis, continuously achieved innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice, and successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization.
A deepening of understanding——
Clarify "promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese-style modernization", explain the five aspects of Chinese-style modernization with Chinese characteristics, nine essential requirements and five major principles that must be firmly grasped, and reveal the unique advantages and practical guidelines of Chinese-style modernization , Bright prospects... Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics came into being in response to major issues of the times.
Continuous improvement in strategy——
Determine the "two-step" timetable for comprehensively building a modern and powerful socialist country, spread out the "five-in-one" overall layout and the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, and thoroughly implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the strategy of rural revitalization... The strategic plan provides a solid support for Chinese-style modernization.
Continuously enriched in practice——
Promote a series of transformative practices, achieve a series of breakthrough progress, achieve a series of landmark achievements, eliminate absolute poverty, build a well-off society in an all-round way, and steadily promote common prosperity...Historic achievements and historical changes are engraved in the magnificent, The heroic great changes of the people.
Looking back on the past, the students have a common feeling: ten years of extraordinary changes in the new era have written a new chapter of Chinese-style modernization.
Our Party has not only preliminarily established the theoretical system of Chinese-style modernization, but also made Chinese-style modernization "clearer, more scientific, and more sensible and feasible", proving more eloquently that "Chinese-style modernization is feasible and stable, and it is The only correct way to build a strong country and rejuvenate the nation".
More than 200 years ago, Napoleon compared the sinking China to a sleeping lion. "When this sleeping lion wakes up, the whole world will tremble."
In the spring of 2014, on the banks of the Seine, when attending the commemorative meeting commemorating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, General Secretary Xi Jinping quoted Napoleon’s statement and further pointed out that “the Chinese lion has woken up, but this is a peaceful and amiable , The Lion of Civilization".
Traveling through history, reality and the future, today, the general secretary's words are more confident and heroic: "Chinese-style modernization is our answer to the major historical topic of how to wake up the 'sleeping lion' and realize national rejuvenation."
Deepen the understanding of the law - Chinese-style modernization "shows another picture of modernization, expands the path choices for developing countries to modernize, and provides a Chinese plan for human beings to explore a better social system"
The understanding of thoughts is deepened in thinking; the cognition of laws is sublimated in collisions.
After the opening ceremony, more than 300 trainees were divided into 18 groups. Focusing on General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the opening ceremony, they talked about their experience, knowledge, and measures in light of their actual work.
The leading comrades of the central government went deep into each group to exchange and discuss with everyone.
The lights in the student dormitory buildings are often on until late at night.
Everyone studied the original text of the general secretary's speech, thought about the profound truth in it, and wrote the outline of the group speech.
In the cold morning wind, a snowfall covered the ground.
It was cold outside the window, but warm inside.
"Advisable: Persist in learning, think proactively, and analyze in depth; Avoid: stop at a glance, swallow jujubes wholeheartedly, and don't ask for a deep understanding." A student neatly wrote down his own learning thoughts in a notebook.
Everyone agreed that the General Secretary's "First Lesson of the Beginning Year" is very political, theoretical, pertinent, and instructive, and profoundly answered "what, what, and how to do" in Chinese-style modernization. A series of important issues such as "how to go the right way, make it work, do it steadily, and do it well" are the fundamental principles for correctly understanding and vigorously promoting Chinese-style modernization.
In the theoretical system of Chinese-style modernization, from essential requirements to major principles, the leadership of the party always takes the first place.
"The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China." Manage the general and the fundamental. Why should we emphasize the leadership of the party in the Chinese-style modernization drive? This is because the party’s leadership is directly related to the fundamental direction, future and fate of Chinese-style modernization, and the ultimate success or failure.”
From the perspective of political party comparison, this significant advantage is even more prominent: "Our party has always adhered to its original mission, is determined to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and insists on unifying lofty ideals and phased goals. Once the goal is established, Just stick to the green hills and not let go, continue to struggle, work hard, and work tirelessly, fundamentally surpassing the shortcomings of political party disputes, party favoritism, inconsistent policies, and changing orders in capitalist countries."
When a boat travels thousands of miles, it is at the helm.
"The goal of struggle is progressive, and the policy is implemented in a consistent manner. The reason why the Chinese-style modernization ship can anchor its goals, cut through the waves, and make steady progress is precisely because of the leadership of the party." A student from the military system said.
The five aspects of Chinese-style modernization with Chinese characteristics were first proposed at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary gave an in-depth explanation. At the opening ceremony, he analyzed each article for everyone——
"This is the largest modernization in human history, and it is also the most difficult modernization. The super-large population can not only provide sufficient human resources and a super-large market, but also bring a series of problems and challenges. Just to solve the problems of more than 1.4 billion people The problem of food is not a small challenge. There are also issues such as employment, distribution, education, medical care, housing, elderly care, and childcare. It is not easy to solve any of them, and the number of people involved in any of them is astronomical”;
"We have formed a set of ideas, institutional arrangements, and policy measures to promote the common prosperity of all people. We must further divide the cake while promoting high-quality development and making the cake bigger";
"Chinese-style modernization requires both material wealth and spiritual wealth."
"Respecting nature, conforming to nature, protecting nature, and promoting the harmonious coexistence between man and nature are the distinctive features of Chinese-style modernization";
"The Chinese nation has experienced the tragic history of aggression and humiliation by Western powers, and knows that it must never follow the old path of Western countries";
...
Combining history and reality, comparing international and domestic, and elucidating theory and practice, it is eloquent, penetrating, and simple.
The students believed that the general secretary's exposition further revealed the scientific connotation of Chinese-style modernization, which is not only a theoretical summary, but also a practical requirement, full of strategic confidence and strategic sobriety.
"Bigness has great advantages, but bigness also has great difficulties. As the general secretary emphasized, we must look at the fact that our country has a huge population dialectically. This requires us to think about problems, make decisions, and do things based on specific national conditions. , we can neither aim too high, nor stick to the old ways, insist on making steady progress, step by step, and continue to advance.” A student from the central and state agencies said.
In modernization, there is no one-size-fits-all model, nor is there a universal standard.
China's unique historical culture, historical destiny, and historical conditions determine that the Chinese people must pursue modernization on the path they choose.
"The unique world outlook, values, history, civilization, democracy, and ecology contained in Chinese-style modernization and its great practice are major innovations in the theory and practice of world modernization." The words of General Secretary Xi Jinping aroused strong enthusiasm among the students. resonance.
"Because Western countries are the pioneers of modernization, they often give people an illusion that modernization is Westernization, and Western civilization is modern civilization." A student from the field of ecological and environmental protection said that Chinese-style modernization breaks the "modernization = Westernization" Myths are a major transcendence of Western modernization theory and practice.
Peaches and plums, the next from Seikei.
Absorbing the nutrients of civilization with a history of more than 5,000 years, rooted in a vast land of more than 9.6 million square kilometers, and embodying the great efforts of more than 1.4 billion people, a large oriental country with a long history and civilization and a large population will achieve modernization. An epoch-making event in history.
Consolidate the strength of forging ahead - "It takes hard work to turn the Chinese characteristics of many aspects of Chinese-style modernization into successful practice, and to turn distinctive characteristics into unique advantages"
Unprecedented great undertakings and arduous and arduous system engineering have never been achieved easily and with drums and gongs.
At the opening ceremony, General Secretary Xi Jinping spoke earnestly from epistemology to methodology: "Correctly handle a series of top-level design and practical exploration, strategy and strategy, integrity and innovation, efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, self-reliance and self-improvement and opening up to the outside world." important relationship."
These 6 pairs of keywords, these 6 major relationships full of dialectics, contain the successful code of Chinese-style modernization——
It is necessary not only to "make the formulated planning and policy system reflect the characteristics of the times, grasp the regularity, and be creative", but also "to explore boldly in practice and promote the development of the cause through reform and innovation, and we must not wait for the sword and wait for the rabbit";
It is necessary to enhance "strategic forward-looking", "strategic overallness" and "strategic stability", but also to be "flexible, adaptable, and make decisions on the fly";
It is necessary not only to "keep the foundation and source, root and soul of Chinese-style modernization", but also to "fully stimulate the creative vitality of the whole society";
"It is necessary to create higher efficiency than capitalism, but also to maintain social equity more effectively";
"Chinese-style modernization should and can achieve a dynamic balance that is active but not chaotic, active and orderly";
"Make good use of domestic and international resources to expand the development space of Chinese-style modernization";
...
When making a decision, grasping the balance, one after another worldwide problem, the test is to use the wisdom and courage of the wonderful.
The trainees agreed that General Secretary Xi Jinping's in-depth elaboration of the six major relationships not only deployed the task of "crossing the river", but also guided the solution of the problem of "bridges and boats". It is necessary to focus on improving strategic thinking, historical thinking, and dialectical thinking , System thinking, innovative thinking, rule of law thinking, bottom-line thinking ability, good at coping with complicated actual situations, accumulating experience and increasing talents.
Things have sweetness and bitterness, and those who taste them will know; the road has dangers, and those who walk on it will know.
A broad road does not mean a flat road, and a great struggle must be carried out to promote Chinese-style modernization.
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that history has repeatedly proved that if you seek security through struggle, you will survive; if you seek security through weakness and concessions, you will perish; if you seek development through struggle, you will prosper;
This is why we have repeatedly emphasized the need to carry forward the spirit of struggle.
The "key minority" must have key responsibilities and key actions.
The general secretary earnestly warned: "We must be particularly clear-headed, always maintain an attitude of preparation for war, and must not be paralyzed and rest easy." "Senior cadres must have strong risk insight and foresight, that is, they must have the knowledge The ability to know the coming of the tiger with the deer and the wind, and the ability to know the autumn of the world with a single leaf." "There must be a panoramic picture in your mind, frequent analysis and judgment, scientific prediction of potential risks, and a sufficient toolbox. Good first-hand chess, good active battle."
On the afternoon of the 10th, the seminar ended.
10 student representatives from various fields shared their learning experience at the closing ceremony.
"We must keep in mind that 'empty talk harms the country, and hard work rejuvenates the country', and do a good job in the first year." "Strive to stimulate grassroots forces, let cadres dare to take responsibility, and work hard to promote the vivid practice of Chinese-style modernization." "Facing difficulties and tackling difficulties Overcoming difficulties, breaking down all obstacles and obstacles in the way with an indomitable spirit" "Go deep into the front line, take root at the grassroots level, discover and solve problems, analyze specific problems in detail, do not make one size fits all, and turn the blueprint into reality step by step"...
After a 4-day study, the trainees were full of harvest and full of confidence. They walked out of the gate of the Central Party School Auditorium, walked past the huge rock engraved with "seeking truth from facts" and "serving the people" on the campus, and went to all corners of the country and went to their respective places. Jobs, on the new long march of Chinese-style modernization, unswervingly go on.
