Author: Jiang Jianxun (Executive Deputy Director of the Propaganda Department of Quzhou Municipal Party Committee, Zhejiang Province)

Trees are thousands of feet tall and have roots, and water flows for thousands of miles. The great spirit of party building is a profound review and summary of the CPC's centennial journey. The Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "The party's century-long struggle has forged the Communist Party of China, which is at the forefront of the times, and formed a spiritual genealogy with the great spirit of party building as the source. At the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping summed up the great founding spirit of the party in 32 words: adhere to the truth, adhere to the ideal, practice the original intention, undertake the mission, not afraid of sacrifice, heroic struggle, loyalty to the party, and live up to the people. The great spirit of party building has clearly defined the spiritual origin and ideological basis of building the party, rejuvenating the party, and strengthening the party, and has sounded the strongest sound of the Chinese communists breaking the waves on the new road of catching up with the examination in the new era.

For the Source of Living Water: The great spirit of party building has penetrated through a hundred years, is the spiritual source of the Communist Party of China, and has provided an inexhaustible driving force for realizing the great journey from standing up to becoming rich and strong.

The hundred-year history of the Communist Party of China is a great spiritual epic, and the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists is a brilliant chapter in it. The various spirits in the genealogy are reflected in different ways, but they all have the same roots and originate from the "spiritual source" of the great spirit of party building. The great spirit of party building that sprouted from the unremitting exploration of saving the country and the people, grew strongly in the historical process of integrating Marxism with the Chinese revolution, and matured and developed in the vivid practice of the reform of the Chinese people's revolutionary construction, combined the themes of different eras in different historical time and space, highlighted the characteristics of different eras, integrated different subjects of different objects, and penetrated different forms of events, enriched one vivid and concrete spiritual sample after another, and made the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists more three-dimensional, rich, and endless. It is because of the inexhaustible "source" of the great spirit of party building that the spiritual genealogy of the Chinese Communists has surged forward in different historical periods.

In the period of the new-democratic revolution, the great spirit of party building closely focused on the theme of the era of "revolution," fully demonstrated the characteristics of the times of "fighting with blood and perseverance," stimulated the echoes of the times in the course of accomplishing the great cause of pioneering the country, formed the spirit of the Red Boat, the spirit of Jinggangshan, the spirit of the Long March, and the spirit of Yan'an, and wrote the revolutionary pursuit of "sacrificing more for the sake of having a great ambition."

In the period of socialist revolution and construction, the great spirit of party building closely centered on the theme of the times of "construction," fully demonstrated the characteristics of the times of "self-reliance, anger and striving to be strong," stimulated the echoes of the times in the course of accomplishing the great cause of rejuvenating the country through the transformation of heaven and earth, and produced the spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite," and the spirit of Lei Feng, and demonstrated the heroic ambition of "fighting and overcoming hardships and dangers and setting out again."

In the new period of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, the great spirit of party building has closely centered on the theme of the times of "reform," fully demonstrated the characteristics of the times of "emancipating the mind and forging ahead with determination," stimulated the echoes of the times in the course of accomplishing the great cause of turning the world upside down and enriching the country, formed the spirit of reform and opening up, the spirit of manned space flight, and the spirit of earthquake resistance and disaster relief, and composed a magnificent poem of "daring to call the sun and the moon for a new day."

Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the great spirit of party building has closely focused on the theme of the era of "rejuvenation", fully demonstrated the characteristics of the times of "self-confidence, self-improvement, integrity and innovation", stimulated the echoes of the times in promoting the great cause of earth-shaking power, emerged the spirit of "three bulls", the spirit of fighting the epidemic, the spirit of poverty alleviation, etc., and interpreted the chapter of the era of "now taking a step forward from the beginning".

A Thousand Hammers And a Hundred Tempers to Produce True Gold: The great spirit of party building runs through time and space, tempers and forges the distinct political character of Chinese communists, and highlights the great characteristics of the CPC that is different from other political parties in the world.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that in the past one hundred years, the CPC has carried forward the great spirit of party building, built a spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists in the long-term struggle, and tempered a distinct political character. The great founding spirit of the party with its innate red genes has made the distinct political character of the Communist Party of China more prominent.

This political character shows the firmness of the century-old party in not changing its wind and rain. Revolutionary ideals are higher than heaven. Firm ideals and convictions are the political soul of Chinese communists and the foundation that distinguishes the Communist Party of China from other political parties. Faith in Marxism, faith in socialism with Chinese characteristics and communism, and confidence in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are the powerful spiritual force for our party to defeat all strong enemies, overcome all difficulties, and win all victories. Over the past one hundred years, our party has marched forward with courage and determination, completed the most extensive and profound social changes in the history of the Chinese nation, ushered in the great leap of the Chinese people from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong, and stepped out of the right path toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Looking back on the centennial journey, our firmness and consistency in faith, the road, and our original intention is precisely the fundamental place where our party has constantly risen up through thousands of setbacks and hardened into steel through all kinds of hardships.

This political character shows the unchanging people's nature of the original intention of the centennial party. The people are the greatest strength of the CPC in ruling the country and the foundation of strengthening the party and rejuvenating the country. Our party is rooted in the people and its blood is in the people. In the past one hundred years, our party has been able to develop from a small party of more than 50 people to the world's largest Marxist ruling party with more than 95 million members, and has made one brilliant achievement after another that has attracted the attention of the world. Whether it was the arduous revolutionary years, the years of self-made construction, or the magnificent period of reform, our party has always stood on the correct side of history, united and led the people of all nationalities throughout the country to overcome one difficulty after another, defuse one risk after another, and crush one enemy after another, thus demonstrating the great power of "uniting the military and the people as one person and trying to see who can be the enemy in the world." Looking back on the centennial journey, we have always breathed with the people, shared our destiny, connected our hearts, and unswervingly centered on the people, which has been deeply integrated into the blood of the Communist Party of China and has become the genetic code and spiritual genes of our party.

This political character shows the indomitable fighting nature of the century-old big party. The century-old course of the Communist Party of China is a history of heroic struggle Chinese the people. The establishment of the Communist Party of China, the founding of the People's Republic of China, the implementation of reform and opening up, and the promotion of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era were all born, developed, and strengthened in the course of struggle. The great leap of the Chinese nation from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong, the great leap of socialism with Chinese characteristics from its founding and development to perfection, and the great leap of the Chinese people from insufficient food and clothing to well-off prosperity have all been achieved through arduous struggle. We persisted in the struggle and fought bloodily for the establishment of the People's Republic of China for 28 years; we dared to struggle, crossed the Yalu River with great vigor and vigor, and fought with one punch to avoid a hundred punches; we were good at struggle, and in the face of the complex international environment that changed again and again, we resolutely defended the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics and held up the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Especially since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has won the attention and respect of the world with extraordinary political courage and strong historical responsibility, faced various risks and challenges, resolutely struggled and dared to win. Looking back on the centennial journey, the heroic spirit of not being afraid of all hardships and hardships and not fearing any powerful enemy, and the revolutionary spirit of persisting in struggle, daring to struggle, and being good at struggle, have become the unique temperament of Chinese communists.

This political character shows the practical nature of the century-old party in seeking truth from facts. Seeking truth from facts is the fundamental viewpoint of Marxism and a powerful weapon and basic method for Chinese communists to understand and transform the world. In the course of China's revolution, construction, and reform, there has never been ready-made experience to draw upon. All the paths, choices, and achievements are the unremitting exploration and struggle of the Chinese Communists, guided by the basic tenets of Marxism, adhering to the spirit of seeking truth from facts, basing themselves on reality, being down-to-earth, and following the law. A century of practice has proved that only by persisting in seeking truth from facts can our line, principles, and policies conform to objective reality, embody the law of development, and conform to the will of the people, and can we continuously win victories in our undertakings; on the contrary, as long as we deviate from seeking truth from facts, the cause of the party and the people will suffer losses or even serious setbacks. Looking back at the centenary journey, all the victories and achievements of the Communist Party of China and all the setbacks and twists and turns it has experienced fundamentally depend on whether it has adhered to the principle of seeking truth from facts and whether it has adhered to the requirement of proceeding from reality in everything.

This political character shows the epochal nature of the century-old party advancing with the times. Only by keeping pace with the times and bravely standing at the head of the tide can we better lead the times. The Chinese Communists have always been the trendsetters of the times. One hundred years ago, the first generation of Chinese Communists bravely stood at the head of the tide to dialogue with the world, ushered in the most advanced Marxism, and persisted in using Marxist positions, viewpoints, and methods to observe the times, grasp the times, and lead the times, thus forming a great spirit of party building in the practice of party building. Over the past one hundred years, our party has consciously conformed to historical changes, adhered to the principle of connecting the basic principles with the latest achievements, been open, inclusive, and eclectic, absorbed all the achievements of advanced civilization in human society, integrated Marxism with Chinese practice, and integrated with China's excellent traditional culture, and formed major theoretical achievements such as Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thinking of "three represents," the scientific outlook on development, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. These series of theoretical achievements in the sinification of Marxism are all vivid practices of the Chinese Communists in advancing with the times, being upright and innovative, and daring to be the first. In particular, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, based on seeking happiness for the people, rejuvenation for the nation, and seeking common ground for the world, has consistently adhered to Marxism, taken a clear stand in defending Marxism, developed Marxism with the times, demonstrated a powerful force of truth in contemporary China and the world in the 21st century, is the essence of the times of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit, realized a new leap in the sinification of Marxism, and is full of wise thinking and unique ideas on major issues of human development. It shows the wisdom and responsibility of the Chinese Communists. Looking back on the centennial journey, conforming to the trend of history, gaining insight into the general trend of the times, grasping the historical initiative, and walking in the forefront of the times are precisely the confidence and self-confidence of our party in leading the great rejuvenation of the nation.

Holding the red flag in hand is not wet: the great spirit of party building illuminates the future, leads and inspires the Chinese communists to strive for greater glory on the new road to rush to the examination, and grasps the historical initiative for the Chinese nation to cope with the great changes that have not occurred in a hundred years.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that in the past hundred years, the Communist Party of China has handed over an excellent answer sheet to the people and history. Now, the Communist Party of China has united and led the Chinese people to embark on a new road to achieve the goal of the second centenary struggle. In the face of major changes unprecedented in a hundred years, we especially need to inherit and carry forward the "spiritual source" of the great spirit of party building, and on the new road of catching up with the examination, break the waves and continue to write brilliant.

Breaking the waves on the new road to catch up with the examination, we must always adhere to the truth, adhere to the ideal, and make the red logo of the Chinese communists more eye-catching. Red is the innate gene and distinctive identity of the Chinese Communists, which has never faded or lasted forever. On the new road to the examination, the Chinese Communists must continue the red gene, polish the red logo, and unite and lead the people to break the waves with a posture of walking in the forefront and taking the lead in setting an example. We must not change our original intention, keep firmly in mind the oath under the party banner, and be able to see it in ordinary times, stand up at critical moments, and be open-minded at critical junctures in the party's speech, in the party's words for the party, in the party's service, and in the party's rejuvenation of the party. It is necessary to keep firmly in mind the "great power of the country", constantly enhance political judgment, political understanding, and political execution, and firmly establish the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", and achieve "two safeguards". It is necessary to resolutely safeguard the core position of Comrade Xi Jinping's Party Central Committee and the core position of the whole Party, resolutely safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership, and ensure that the whole Party moves forward in unison.

To break the waves on the new road to catch up with the examination, we must always practice our original intention and undertake our mission, so that the warm feelings of the Chinese communists will be more distinct. The country is the people, and the people are the country. We must always put the people in the highest position in our hearts, persist in taking the people as the center, take the people's yearning for a better life as the goal of struggle, and always maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the masses of the people. No matter how the situation changes and how different the conditions are, the basic principle of relying on the people in everything cannot be changed, and the purpose of serving the people cannot be changed. We must strive to do a good job in following the mass line in the new era, and truly regard the people's support or disapproval, approval or disapproval, happiness or displeasure, and promise or disapproval as the fundamental criterion for judging the gains and losses of all work, so that the fruits of development can truly benefit all the people.

In breaking the waves on the new road to catch up with the examination, we must always be unafraid of sacrifice and heroic struggle, so that the outstanding skills of the Chinese Communists will be more prominent. The greater the cause, the more challenging it is; to realize a great dream, a great struggle must be waged. It is necessary to improve skills, be good at struggle, have the courage to win, learn to understand Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, contemporary Chinese Marxism and Marxism in the 21st century, master Marxist positions and viewpoints, consolidate the ideological foundation of daring to struggle and being good at struggle, grasp the new development stage, implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and continuously improve the ability to use scientific theories to cope with major challenges, resist major risks, overcome major obstacles, and resolve major contradictions, win advantages, win the initiative, Win the future.

In breaking the waves on the new road to catch up with the examination, we must always be loyal to the party and live up to the people, so that the true colors and requirements of the Chinese communists will be more firm. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is not easy to think of danger in times of peace and maintain the mental state of striving for excellence in the early days of entrepreneurship when success is achieved; it is not easy to be frugal and introverted after taking power; it is not easy to be strict with officials and prevent corruption and luxury during the period of peace; it is not easy to follow the trend and conform to the will of the people at the juncture of major changes. "Four is not easy" is a new exam question on the new road to the exam. To answer this examination question well and hand over the high-scoring answer sheet, we must always maintain the true colors of the Chinese communists, continue to temper the party spirit, strengthen self-building, bear in mind that we were born in distress and died in comfort, always have far-sighted worries and think of danger in times of peace, continue to push forward the new great project of party building in the new era, and always maintain the party's advanced nature and purity. It is necessary to root our true colors in absolute loyalty to the party, strengthen ideals and beliefs, strengthen our political stand, strictly abide by political discipline and political rules, and ensure that we do not change their quality, color, and taste. It is necessary to penetrate the true colors of a clean and honest personality, establish a correct outlook on power, political achievements, and careers, cultivate oneself and discipline oneself, be cautious and consistent, act innocently, be a clean and honest official, and be frank and frank as an official, and forge the wind and grass of the new era and the real gold of the fiery fire. It is necessary to embody the true colors in the struggle to take responsibility, strengthen the political consciousness, sense of responsibility, and ability support of daring to take responsibility, dare to dare to try in the face of difficulties, dare to grasp and manage contradictions, dare to act boldly in the face of risks, and strive to be the first and make meritorious achievements in the new journey of socialist modernization.

Looking back over the past century, the "spiritual source" of the great spirit of party building has been deeply integrated into the blood of the CPC and the Chinese nation, and has become the soul and belief of the Chinese communists, supporting the spiritual backbone of the Chinese nation and achieving the great cause of the times. Looking forward to the future, breaking the waves on the new road to catch up with the examination, we must continue to carry on the red blood, continue to relay the struggle, do not forget yesterday's suffering and glory, worthy of today's mission, live up to tomorrow's great dreams, illuminate the road of struggle with the light of faith, condense the majestic power with the aspiration of rejuvenation, and make the "source of the spirit" glow more dazzling with great practice.
