Original title: Understand the decisive significance of the "two establishments"

Ten thousand mountains are majestic, and there will be a main peak; the ship weighs thousands of tons, and one person at the helm is at the helm. Clarifying the decisive significance of the "two establishments" is the outstanding historical contribution of the party's third historical resolution and the most important political achievement since the Eighteenth National Congress of the party. Only when the Party Central Committee has a core and the whole Party has a core can the Party have strength. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has led the whole party and the people of the whole country to carry forward the great spirit of historical initiative, create a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, promote the historic achievements and historic changes in the cause of the party and the country, build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way in the land of China, and become the core of the party, the people's leader, and the commander of the army that everyone expects and deserves.

Theory is the precursor to action, and thought is the beacon of the times. Marxism is like a magnificent sunrise, illuminating the path of mankind's exploration of historical laws and seeking its own liberation, which has not only profoundly changed the world, but also profoundly changed China. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has gained insight into the times, grasped the pulse of the times, led the trend of the times, and put forward a series of original strategic ideas and innovative concepts with extraordinary theoretical courage, and founded Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Practice has proved that Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is contemporary Chinese Marxism, Marxism of the twenty-first century, the essence of the times of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit, and has achieved a new leap in the sinification of Marxism.

The "two establishments" are not only the result of historical development and the crystallization of historical struggle, but also the enlightenment of historical experience and the manifestation of historical laws, which fully demonstrates the party's historical consciousness and historical self-confidence. The "two establishments" are the call of the times, the choice of history, and the aspiration of the people, with strong historical penetration, cultural appeal and spiritual appeal, and contain profound historical, theoretical, and practical logic. The "two establishments" are a powerful political guarantee for "continued success in the future," and the whole party has a "fixed star" and the people of the whole country have a "backbone."

From the perspective of historical logic, we profoundly understand the "two establishments." Reviewing the glorious course of the party's struggle over the past hundred years, establishing the party's leadership core and safeguarding the authority of the core, and adhering to the latest theoretical achievements in the sinification of Marxism as the party's guiding ideology are the valuable experiences of the party in enhancing unity, consolidating strength, and overcoming difficulties and winning victories. In January 1935, the Politburo of the Central Committee held a Zunyi Conference on the course of the Long March, which in fact established comrade Mao Zedong's leading position in the Party Central Committee and the Red Army, and began to establish the leading position of the correct Marxist line with Comrade Mao Zedong as the main representative in the Party Central Committee. In 1945, the Resolution on Several Historical Questions of the Seventh Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly stated: "The whole Party has unprecedentedly and unanimously understood the correctness of Comrade Mao Zedong's line and has united under the banner of Mao Zedong with unprecedented consciousness." The Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China established Mao Zedong Thought as the guiding ideology of the Party and wrote it into the Party Constitution. Correctly understanding and establishing Mao Zedong's historical position and the guiding role of Mao Zedong Thought is a tremendous harvest for the Chinese Communists and the Chinese people in their protracted struggle.

In October 2016, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clarified the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping and formally proposed the "Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the Core"; in October 2017, the Amendment to the Party Constitution adopted by the Nineteenth National Congress of the Party wrote Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into the Party Constitution, realizing the party's guiding ideology to keep pace with the times; the Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized the decisive significance of the "two establishments", which is in line with the common aspirations of the whole party, the whole army, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country. We must consistently uphold and defend our new journey. The party's century-old history has eloquently proved that whenever there is a strong leadership core and scientific theoretical guidance, the party can lead the people from victory to victory. On the contrary, the party and the people will suffer setbacks and losses. Defending the "two establishments" is an inevitable requirement for the party to sum up a hundred years of history in the spirit of historical initiative, and has a distinct historical logic of taking history as a mirror and creating the future.

It is necessary to profoundly understand the "two establishments" from a theoretical and logical point of view. In his analysis of the French Revolution, Marx pointed out: "Every social epoch needs its own great figures, and if there are no such figures, it must create them." Engels emphasized: "Without authority, there can be no concerted action." Marx and Engels profoundly pointed out when summing up the lessons of the failure of the Paris Commune: "The Paris Commune was destroyed because of the lack of centralization and authority. "Establishing and maintaining the leading core of Marxist political parties has always been a major proposition of Marxist political party theory; attaching importance to the party's theoretical armament has always been a distinctive feature of Marxist political parties. Defending the "two establishments" is essentially safeguarding the party's authority and the party's leadership authority and theoretical authority formed in the practice of the party's leadership over the masses of the people; it is a profound grasp of a Marxist political party in following the law of party building, and it has a distinct theoretical logic of inheriting the same lineage and advancing with the times.

Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era insists on combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture, revealing the internal law of the sinification of Marxism, revealing the historical logic of the inheritance and development of the Chinese nation, reflecting the dreams and pursuits of the Chinese nation since ancient times, opening up a new realm of managing the party and governing the party, rejuvenating the party and strengthening the party, and marking a new height for the development of Marxism.

It is necessary to profoundly understand the "two establishments" from the perspective of practical logic. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has united the people of the whole country, solidified the foundation of the party, broken the ice of reform, practiced the way of rule of law, realized the dream of a well-off life, opened the road to a strong country, and strengthened the foundation of development, realized the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation, and a more active spiritual force, and realized the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process. Behind the "Chinese miracle", the fundamental lies in the fact that there is a party central committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core at the helm, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era guides the course.

Don't be afraid of floating clouds to cover your eyes, ride the wind and waves without getting lost. A large party with more than 95 million members, a large country with 56 ethnic groups and a population of more than 1.4 billion, can easily become a "scattered sand" and cannot accomplish anything. Without the guidance of scientific theories, it is easy to get lost in the "chaotic clouds" and be overwhelmed by major risks and challenges. Only by firmly safeguarding the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping can we unite the whole party into "a hard piece of steel", and then closely unite the people of all ethnic groups in the country to form a mighty force of unity and indestructibility. Only by unswervingly adhering to the guiding position of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era can the party have the banner of ideology and the soul of the spirit, can it always grasp the law of development, use the scientific world outlook and methodology to plan career development, cope with risks and challenges, and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to continuously open up bright prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The boat to the middle of the stray is more urgent, and the road to the middle of the mountain is steeper. On the new journey, the world's unprecedented major changes in a century have accelerated their evolution, the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic is extensive and far-reaching, the external environment is becoming more complex and severe, the tasks of domestic reform, development and stability are arduous and arduous, and various risks and challenges that can be predicted and unpredictable are unprecedented. In order for the party to lead the people to successfully cope with major challenges, resist major risks, overcome major obstacles, resolve major contradictions, and resolve major problems, the party must have a party core with lofty prestige and a party Central Committee with high authority, and must use the party's innovative theories to unify thinking, action, and will. Defending the "two establishments" has a bearing on the direction of the banner road, on the party's movement and the soul of the country, and on the future and destiny of the party, the country, and the nation.

In the words and lines of the century-old party history, how many difficulties and obstacles, how many terrifying waves, and how many ups and downs, the core is the main peak of the mighty mountains, the brilliant Dipper of the galaxy, and the beacon of the vast sea. The "two establishments" are the inevitable logic of theoretical development, the inevitable conclusion of practical development, and the inevitable choice of historical development. The special consultative body of the CPPCC is first and foremost a political organ, and CPPCC members must first anchor the political direction. We must bear in mind the "great power of the country", keep in mind the "heavy responsibility", promote the implementation of policies in the course of making suggestions and policies, influence more colleagues in the process of consolidating consensus, bloom the flower of consultative democracy in democratic supervision, have a high degree of ideological trust in the core, sincerely love the core emotionally, resolutely safeguard the core politically, consciously obey the core organizationally, and always follow the core in action, and transform the "two establishments" into political consciousness, ideological consciousness, and action consciousness to achieve "two safeguards". With the spirit of vigorous efforts and the attitude of unremitting struggle, we will strive to strive for new and greater victories and glory! (Zhang Lianqi)
