Historical self-confidence is another major theoretical achievement of self-confidence in the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, theoretical self-confidence, institutional self-confidence, and cultural self-confidence, an inexhaustible driving force for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and a source of strength for the people's happiness to continue to increase.

If the Chinese nation is a winding Great Wall, then historical self-confidence is the cornerstone of cascading; If the rejuvenation of China is a ship that sails far, then historical self-confidence is a solid sail; If the happiness of the people is the hot sun, then historical self-confidence is the radiance of the world.

Historical self-confidence stems from the magnificent history written by Chinese people: a long history and a long history

Historical self-confidence stems from the broad and profound Chinese civilization created by the Chinese people: brilliant and brilliant, unparalleled in the world

Historical self-confidence stems from the enduring Chinese spirit cultivated by the Chinese people: self-improvement and continuous struggle

Historical self-confidence stems from the great leap made by the Chinese people from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong: national rejuvenation and people's happiness

Since its founding in 1921, the Communist Party of China has always regarded seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation as its original mission, always adhered to the communist ideal and socialist belief, united and led the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to make unremitting efforts to strive for national independence, people's liberation, and the realization of national prosperity and strength, and people's happiness, and written the most magnificent epic poem in the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

During the period of the new-democratic revolution, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Mao Zedong as the main representative, founded Mao Zedong Thought, created the great achievements of the new-democratic revolution, founded the People's Republic of China, realized national independence and people's liberation, completely ended the history of the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in old China, and Chinese people have since stood up.

During the period of socialist revolution and construction, the party led the people to rely on themselves and to strive to be strong, created great achievements in socialist revolution and construction, and realized the great leap of the great eastern country with a large population of poverty and a large population to enter socialism.

In the new period of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Deng Xiaoping as the main representative, united and led the whole party and the people of all nationalities throughout the country to create Deng Xiaoping Theory and successfully created socialism with Chinese characteristics around the fundamental issue of what socialism is and how to build socialism.

After the Fourth Plenary Session of the Thirteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as the main representative, deepened their understanding of what socialism is, how to build socialism, what kind of party to build, and how to build the party, formed the important thinking of "three represents," established the reform objectives and basic framework of the socialist market economic system, and opened up a new situation in comprehensive reform and opening up.

After the Sixteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Hu Jintao as the main representative, profoundly understood and answered major questions such as what kind of development to achieve and how to develop in the new situation, formed a scientific outlook on development, and successfully adhered to and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics under the new situation.

It has established the core position of Comrade Xi Jinping's Party Central Committee and the core of the whole Party, and established the guiding position of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, which is of decisive significance for promoting the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Thank you to the motherland that stood up, giving me the backbone and confidence in my life for two hundred years. The hearts of the Chinese sons and daughters of the country and the soul of the nation are immersed in Wen Tianxiang's generous and tragic song of "Whoever lives since ancient times has not died, and keeps the Dan heart to take care of the sweat and the youth", engraved in the firm bones of Qian's "one inch of Dan heart to serve the country, two lines of clear tears for thinking of relatives", echoing in Sister Jiang's vow of "what is the cold of March 9, and a piece of Dan heart is open to the sun".

Thanks to the rich motherland, it gave me the ambition to work hard for rejuvenation. From "build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall" to "This is a beautiful place, the place where I grew up", to "I and my motherland cannot be separated for a moment", these songs inspire the Chinese people to forge ahead with perseverance, and also stir the surging momentum of the rejuvenation of contemporary Chinese powers.

Grateful for the strong motherland, it gives me confidence, and enjoys a prosperous world and guarantees. Today's China dares to say "no" to imperialism; Today's Chinese, dare to laugh at the rivers and lakes; In today's China, we can always find a way to "take you home"; Today's Chinese dare to "offend our Chinese, although they are far away, they will be punished."

"In today's world, if we want to say which political party, which country, and which nation can be confident, then the Communist Party of China, the People's Republic of China, and the Chinese nation have the most reason to be confident." General Secretary Xi Jinping's sonorous and powerful words show an incomparably strong self-confidence.
