Beijing, 16 Nov (Xinhua) --

Explanation of the "Resolution of the CPC Central Committee on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Century-Long Struggle."

Xi Jinping

　　Entrusted by the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, I explained to the plenary session the relevant situation of the drafting of the "Resolution of the CPC Central Committee on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Struggle in the Past Century."

　　I. Consideration of the Agenda of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China

　　Our party has always attached great importance to summing up historical experience. As early as the Yan'an period, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "If we do not have a clear understanding of the party's history and the road the party has taken in history, we will not be able to handle things better." "At the juncture of the final victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, in 1945, the Seventh Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Party adopted the Resolution on Several Historical Issues, summing up the history of the Party and its lessons learned in the period after the founding of the Party, especially the Fourth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Party to the Zunyi Conference, and drawing conclusions on a number of major historical issues, so that the whole Party, especially the senior cadres of the Party, reached a consensus on the basic issues of the Chinese revolution, strengthened the unity of the Whole Party, and created sufficient conditions for the successful convening of the Seventh National Congress of the Party. It has effectively promoted the development of the cause of the Chinese revolution.

　　Entering the new period of reform and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping said: "Successful experiences in history are precious assets, and experiences of mistakes and failures are also valuable assets. In this way, by formulating principles and policies, we will be able to unify the thinking of the whole Party and achieve new unity. Such a foundation is the most reliable. In 1981, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China adopted the Resolution on Several Historical Issues Concerning the Party Since the Founding of the People's Republic of China, which reviewed the history of the Party before the founding of New China, summed up the historical experience of socialist revolution and construction, and made evaluations of some major events and important figures, especially the correct evaluation of Comrade Mao Zedong and Mao Zedong Thought, the distinction between right and wrong, the correction of the erroneous views of the "Left" and the Right, the unification of the thinking of the whole Party, and the promotion of the unity of the Party to look forward. Better promoting reform, opening up, and socialist modernization has had a major impact.

　　Now, 76 years have passed since the first historical resolution was formulated, and 40 years have passed since the second historical resolution was formulated. Over the past 40 years, the cause of the party and the state has greatly advanced, and the party's theory and practice have also greatly advanced. Standing at a new historical starting point, looking back at the past, looking forward to the future, and comprehensively summing up the major achievements and historical experiences of the party's century-long struggle, especially the major achievements and historical experiences of the reform and opening up over the past 40 years, there are both objective needs and subjective conditions.

　　The party Central Committee believes that at the important historical moment of the centenary of the founding of the party, at the major historical juncture when the party and the people have triumphantly achieved the goal of the first centenary struggle, built a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and are moving toward the second centenary goal of striving to build a socialist modern power in an all-round way, comprehensively summed up the major achievements and historical experiences of the party's century-old struggle, and promoted the whole party to further unify its thinking, will, and action, and unite and lead the people of all nationalities throughout the country to win a new great victory in socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. It has great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance.

　　The party Central Committee believes that the course of the party's century-long struggle has been magnificent, the time span is long, the scope is widespread, and there are many problems that need to be studied. In general, in accordance with the requirements of summing up history, grasping the law, strengthening confidence, and marching toward the future, we should do a good job in summing up the glorious course that the party has traveled, the brilliant achievements made by the party in uniting and leading the people, the valuable experience of the party in promoting revolution, construction, and reform, and the theory and practice of forging ahead in the cause of the party and the state since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Party. Specifically, it is necessary to thoroughly study the centenary course of the party leading the people to carry out revolution, construction, and reform, comprehensively sum up the great historical process of the party from victory to victory, and the great historical merits established for the country and the nation; thoroughly study the party's insistence on integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture, continuously promoting the centennial course of sinification of Marxism, and deepening the understanding and mastery of the party's innovative theories in the new era; and profoundly studying the party's continuous maintenance of the party's unity. In the course of safeguarding the authority of the party Central Committee and the century-old course of centralized and unified leadership, we should profoundly comprehend the distinctive characteristics and political superiority of strengthening the party's political building, which is a Marxist political party; thoroughly study the party's century-old course of seeking happiness for the Chinese the people and seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation; profoundly understand the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people who are interdependent in life and death, and that they are united in solidarity with each other, so as to better seek happiness for the people and create a great historical cause by relying on the people; to thoroughly study the centennial course of the party in strengthening its own construction and promoting self-revolution, and to strengthen its firmness and persistence in administering the party in an all-round and strict manner forever on the road To ensure that the party always becomes a strong leadership core in the historical process of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era; deeply study the laws and general trends of historical development, always grasp the historical initiative of the development of the party and the country's cause in the new era and new journey, and enhance the courage and strength to anchor the established goals of struggle and move toward the future with vigor and vigor.

　　The party Central Committee believes that to sum up the party's major achievements and historical experience in the past century, it is necessary to adhere to the methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and to view the party's history from the viewpoint of concrete history, objective and comprehensive, and linked development. It is necessary to persist in correctly viewing the party's history, establish a general view of history, accurately grasp the main theme and mainstream essence of the party's historical development, correctly deal with the mistakes and twists and turns experienced by the party on the road ahead, draw experience from successes, draw lessons from mistakes, and constantly open up the road to victory. It is necessary to take a clear-cut stand against historical nihilism, strengthen ideological guidance and theoretical analysis, clarify the vague understanding and one-sided understanding of some major historical issues in the history of the party, and better get to the bottom of the source.

　　In drafting the resolution of the plenum, the party Central Committee has clearly demanded that we focus on the following points.

　　First, focus on summarizing the major achievements and historical experience of the party's century-old struggle. Our Party has successively formulated two historical resolutions. From the founding of the party to the beginning of reform and opening up, the major issues of right and wrong in the history of the party have been basically resolved in these two historical resolutions, and their basic expositions and conclusions are still applicable today. Since the beginning of reform and opening up, although some problems have also arisen in the party's work, on the whole, the development of the cause of the party and the state has been smooth, the direction of progress is correct, and the achievements have attracted worldwide attention. Based on this, the resolution of the plenary session should focus on summing up the major achievements and historical experience of the party's struggle over the past century, so as to promote the whole party to increase wisdom, enhance unity, increase confidence, and enhance fighting spirit.

　　Second, highlight the key point of the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The resolution of the plenary session focuses on summing up the historical achievements, historic changes that have taken place, and fresh experiences accumulated in the cause of the party and the state in the new era, and the main consideration is that the first two historical resolutions have systematically summed up the history of the party in the period of the new democratic revolution, the period of socialist revolution and construction, and the period from the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party to the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party; the achievements and experiences of the new period of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, the twentieth anniversary of the third plenary session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party. At the thirtieth anniversary, the PARTY Central Committee has made a serious summary, and I have made a speech at the meeting to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of reform and opening up, and I have also made a systematic summary. Therefore, for the historical period before the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the resolutions of this plenary session should be summarized on the basis of the existing summaries and conclusions. Highlighting the key point of the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics is conducive to guiding the whole party to further strengthen confidence, focus on what we are doing, and enter a new journey and a new era of meritorious service with a more lofty attitude.

　　Third, the evaluation of major events, important meetings, and important figures pays attention to linking up with the existing conclusions of the Party Central Committee. Regarding the major events, important meetings, and important figures in the history of the Party before the Eighteenth National Congress of the Party, the first two historical resolutions and a series of important documents of the Party have been expounded in large quantities and solemnly concluded. The resolution of the plenary session upholds these basic statements and conclusions. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I have summed up and expounded on the history of the Party at important meetings such as the meeting to celebrate the ninety-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the congress to celebrate the ninetieth anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the congress to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the meeting to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, thus embodying the new understanding of the party Central Committee on the party's century-old struggle. The resolution of this plenary session should reflect these new understandings.
