Historical development moves forward in the course of struggle, and historical memory is shaped in the course of development.
The CPC's centennial journey is a "history of entrepreneurship" in which the road is blue and the wind and rain are both up and down. From just over 50 party members at the beginning to becoming the world's largest political party with more than 95 million party members, this is known as "the most cattle entrepreneurial team in history", why can it create a miracle in the annals of history? One of the secrets is to pioneer and innovate. It is precisely because of the courage and perseverance to blaze new trails that our party has opened up a new world amid the thorns.
The Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China summed up the valuable experience of the Party in the past century, of which "persisting in pioneering and innovating" was among them. Looking back at the history of the party over the past century, it can be said that every time the COMMUNIST Party of China strives to forge ahead, it is a historical interpretation and definition of the times of "persisting in pioneering and innovating."
This is an indomitable initial intention to save the country
In July 1921, the red tide was surging and Xiaoxia was flying, and the Communist Party of China came into being. Before this newborn party is a "must-answer question" related to the future and destiny of the revolution: Can communism save the country from deeper and deeper misery? Can the Communist Party of China be the backbone of the revolution?
At that time, the Chinese nation was at a critical juncture of "under the roof, in the middle of a leaky boat, and above the fire"; in the confusion of "the mountains and rivers are exhausted and all roads cannot be followed", almost no one believed that the old China, where "production and undertakings had nothing", had the soil for communist survival, and even Stalin did not believe that the Communist Party of China could independently complete the tasks of the democratic revolution. However, the Chinese Communists not only believed in, but also burst out of the creative spirit of self-reliance in the struggle between blood and fire, and opened up a new revolutionary road of "the countryside encircling the cities and seizing power by force." The spark of the armed division of the workers and peasants rode on the east wind of the revolution and formed a burning momentum in the land of Shenzhou.
It is precisely by virtue of this innate pioneering spirit and innovative responsibility that the Communist Party of China led the revolutionary ship that "can already see the tip of the mast" into the wide channel of victory.
"The Red Army's ingenious calculations are impermanent in and out." During the Long March, the Communist Party of China adopted flexible and mobile strategies and tactics to forcibly cross the Wujiang River, cross the Chishui River in four directions, cross the Jinsha River by skill, and rush to cross the Dadu River. The glorious spectacle of war was created among the sea-like mountains, turning "what might have been a distraught retreat into a triumphant march of great energy."
In 1938, the anti-Japanese war situation fluctuated, and the "theory of national subjugation" and the "theory of quick victory" were very popular. At a time when the future and fate of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression fell into fog, Mao Zedong resolutely refuted the erroneous arguments in "On Protracted War" and strengthened the people's confidence in the War of Resistance in his arguments on protracted war. This pamphlet, which embodies the innovative wisdom of the Chinese Communist Party, became a beacon guiding the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression toward victory.
"All reactionaries are paper tigers." After the outbreak of the all-out civil war, in the face of the grim situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak, the CPC's innovative military theory with the "Ten Military Principles" as the core guided the great military practice of the War of Liberation and thoroughly pierced the "paper tiger" of the Kuomintang army, which was fully armed in the American style.
……
A singing rooster is white in exchange for spring shining on the world. On October 1, 1949, the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was formally established. 28 years of arduous exploration, 28 years of bloody struggle. The Communist Party of China has opened a new era of China's development in pioneering and innovating with blood and sweat, full of hardship and courage.
This is a kind of rejuvenation belief in opening up new and striving to be strong
"The Communist Party has 100 points militarily, 80 points politically, and 0 points economically", "The victory of the Communist Party of China is only a flash in the pan", at the beginning of the founding of New China, there was such a saying. From the smoke of war to the management of the country, from "fighting the world" to "ruling the world," can the CPC, which "catches up with the examination," answer this brand-new topic?
History proves that the Communist Party of China has written an excellent answer sheet on the "white paper" of "full of depression and full of waste waiting to be rebuilt."
This is a groundbreaking answer sheet. In September 1954, the First Session of the First National People's Congress adopted the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, establishing the people's congress system as the fundamental political system of our country, and the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the system of regional ethnic autonomy became the basic political system. This is a great political creation of the Communist Party of China based on its national conditions and constitutes the foundation of China's socialist political system.
This is a hard-working answer sheet. From establishing the principle of "taking into account public and private interests, benefiting both labor and capital, mutual assistance between urban and rural areas, and internal and external exchanges" and comprehensively restoring the national economy that has been seriously damaged, to starting large-scale economic construction in a planned manner and gradually establishing an independent and complete industrial system, New China has been able to quickly rise from the ruins. The first atomic bomb exploded, the first synthetic artificial bovine insulin, the first artificial satellite lifted off... These "firsts" are the epitome of the CPC's pioneering and innovative spirit.
This is a change of hands-on answer sheet. At the end of 1952, the land reform was basically completed, and a great historic victory was won in the complete elimination of feudal land ownership. In 1956, the socialist transformation of agriculture, handicrafts and capitalist industry and commerce was basically completed, and China entered a socialist society and realized the greatest and most profound social changes in China's history.
On the basis of the old China of "one poor and two whites," the Communist Party of China, which dared to blaze new trails and make innovations, with the lofty pride of "painting a good painting on a blank piece of paper," sought survival in difficult situations, sought development in the face of adversity, and used the tenacious struggle of "daring to call the sun and the moon for a new day" to warn the world, and the people of the Chinese were not only good at destroying an old world, but also good at building a new world.
This is a kind of ambition of a rich country that strives to forge ahead
"Poverty is not socialism." "If we do not carry out reforms now, our cause of modernization and socialism will be buried." Faced with the question of the times where socialist China is heading, the Communist Party of China has made a historic policy decision to carry out reform and opening up.
In reform and opening up, the most urgent thing is to reform the mind and open up the mind. Based on a profound summary of the practice of socialist revolution and construction, a profound insight into the trend of the times, and a profound understanding of the expectations and needs of the masses of the people, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China re-established the ideological line of seeking truth from facts, proceeding from reality in everything, and linking theory with practice, and made an important policy decision to shift the work center of the party and the state to economic construction. Since then, the curtain of reform and opening up has been opened, and socialist modernization has embarked on a great journey.
From rural to urban, from pilot to generalized, from economic structural reform to comprehensively deepening reform, from coastal to inland, from "opening the door of the country" to "opening up in all directions"... Every advance of reform and opening up has been accompanied by the continuous exploration of "boldly trying and boldly creating" and the exploration and innovation of "crossing the river by feeling the stones". It is along this path that China has achieved a historic leap from a "late country for modernization" to a "growth pole for world modernization." Today, China is the world's second largest economy, the largest manufacturing country, and the largest country in goods trade, which are closely related to the historic decisions of reform and opening up at that time.
It can be said that reform and opening up is a practical exploration of our party to follow the trend, actively respond to changes, take the initiative to seek changes, and blaze new trails, and is a great social revolution carried out by our party leading the people. Without this great awakening, China would not have had a vigorous development today, let alone a great rejuvenation tomorrow.
This is a kind of strong country responsibility that forges ahead
The long river of history, day and night, rushing forward. After socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era, based on a new historical orientation, the PACE of the CPC's pioneering and innovative work has never stopped.
Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China has continuously deepened its understanding of the law of socialist innovation and development. From the 18th National Congress proposing "the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy" to the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee clarifying the new development concept of "innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing"; from the 19th National Congress emphasizing "innovation is the first driving force leading development" and "accelerating the construction of an innovative country", to the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee pointing out that "adhering to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of China's modernization construction" and "entering the forefront of innovative countries"... The position of innovation in the development of the cause of the party and the country has become more and more important, and its weight has become more prominent.
This is not only reflected in the change of the concept of governing the country, but also reflected in the development practice of pioneering and innovating. Deepen the reform of party and state institutions, establish and improve the institutional mechanism and policy system for the integration of urban and rural development, and promote the reform and innovation of the pilot free trade zone... Reform in all fields is advancing steadily and in depth. Many fields have achieved historic changes, systematic reshaping, and overall reconstruction. "Mozi" transmission, "Chang'e" flying, "Jiaolong" into the sea, "Heavenly Eye" stargazing, "Beidou" networking... China has achieved a series of major scientific and technological achievements, and the road of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics is getting wider and wider.
On the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the Party, China has won a comprehensive victory in the battle against poverty, solved the problem of absolute poverty that has not been completely eliminated by Western developed countries for hundreds of years in a few decades, and achieved the poverty reduction target set by the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 10 years ahead of schedule. The spirit of poverty alleviation of "working with one heart from top to bottom, fighting with all our might, being precise and pragmatic, pioneering and innovating, overcoming difficulties, and living up to the people" has been highlighted in great practice.
"Only reformers advance, only innovators are strong, and only reformers and innovators win." The communist party of China has come to this day and the development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics to this day, and it has never been a coincidence of historical chance or the gifts and charity of others, but rely on the historical consciousness and great practice of Chinese communists who dare to innovate, dare to take responsibility, and dare to win.
It is difficult to succeed in maintaining maintenance, and it is difficult to succeed in creating and developing a business. On the "new road of entrepreneurship" of comprehensively building socialist modernization and realizing the goal of the second centenary struggle, as long as our party inherits and makes good use of the "golden key" of pioneering and innovating, advances in the logic of historical progress, and develops in the trend of the development of the times, it will certainly be able to write a magnificent chapter and create more miracles on earth that amaze the people of the world and stand out in the annals of history!
