The people's ambition, backbone, and confidence are often based on the strength and prosperity of the country and nation as the fundamental support and strong cornerstone. Since its birth, the Communist Party of China has devoted itself to the great cause of rejuvenating the Chinese nation and strengthening Chinese culture, not only leading the people of the whole country to create a solid material foundation for the Chinese nation to stand majestically among the nations of the world, but also enriching the spiritual foundation of getting closer and closer to the center of the world stage. At the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that Chinese youth in the new era should take it as their duty to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and enhance their ambition, backbone and confidence to be Chinese. This is not only a youthful message and ardent expectation for Chinese youth in the new era, but also a call for the times and expectations for hundreds of millions of Chinese living on the land of China in the new era. The century-old party with great prosperity is leading the Chinese nation closer to the great goal of national rejuvenation than ever before, and will certainly strengthen the Chinese nation and prosper the Chinese civilization with greater contributions, and enhance the ambition, backbone, and confidence of the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation to be upright and Chinese.

1. The CPC has led the Chinese nation in its century-long struggle to pursue rejuvenation, which has enhanced the ambition, backbone and confidence of the Chinese

Over the past one hundred years, the Communist Party of China has united and led the Chinese people to open up a great road, create a great cause, and achieve great achievements with the fearless spirit of "sacrificing more for the sake of having more ambitions and daring to teach the sun and the moon for a new heaven." With the great contributions recorded in the annals of the development of the Chinese nation and the history of the development of human civilization, they have supported the heroic ambition, backbone, and thick confidence of the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation to do Chinese in an upright manner.

Forge your own path and keep your destiny firmly in your hands. A people and a nation and a nation that have lost their independence are also doomed to suffer suffering and humiliation. In modern times, under the impact of the strong ships and cannons of the Western powers, from utensils, systems to theories and cultures, the dignity and self-confidence accumulated Chinese more than 5,000 years have collapsed step by step, falling into the dilemma of "like a bird in a cage, a fish at the bottom of a cauldron, a prisoner in prison, a slave, a cow and a horse, a dog and a sheep, driven by people, and slaughtered by people". At the time of peril, the Penghu Reform Law and the Xinhai Revolution arose one after another, and various plans for national salvation were introduced in turn, but they failed to bring a way out for the suffering China and the humiliated people to truly get rid of the control of the great powers and achieve independence and liberation. As soon as the Communist Party of China was born, it led the people on a long journey to seek national independence, people's liberation, national prosperity, and people's happiness. "In the various historical periods of revolution, construction, and reform, our party has persistently proceeded from China's national conditions and explored and formed the road of new-democratic revolution, socialist transformation, socialist construction, and socialism with Chinese characteristics that conforms to China's actual conditions. The road determines the fate, and the self-confidence is sublimated. After a hundred years of struggle, the Communist Party of China and the people of the Chinese have forged ahead with their heads held high on the road they have chosen, firmly grasped the fate of China's development and progress in their own hands, gradually awakened and established the consciousness of the subject of the Chinese, rejected any "teacher's grandfather" like a "teacher's grandfather" with unprecedented ambition, backbone, and confidence, and stood on their own and confident in the world East.

Create great achievements, enhance ambition, backbone, and confidence. Only when we are backward can we be beaten, and only when we are backward can we develop ourselves and strengthen ourselves. Over the past one hundred years, the Communist Party of China has united and led the Chinese to write the most magnificent epic, that is, to create the great achievements of the new democratic revolution, socialist revolution and construction, reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. The four "great achievements" have supported national self-confidence and enhanced the ambition, backbone and confidence of the Chinese. Under the leadership of the Party, we have completely put an end to the history of the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society of old China and the situation of scattered sand, completely abolished the unequal treaties imposed on China by the great powers and all the privileges of imperialism in China, Chinese the people have stood up, and the era when the Chinese nation has been slaughtered and bullied by others has gone forever; we have eliminated the feudal system of exploitation and oppression that has lasted in China for thousands of years, established the basic socialist system, promoted socialist construction, and realized the poverty and poverty. We have unswervingly promoted reform and opening up, pioneered, upheld, defended, and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics, realized the historic transformation from a highly centralized planned economic system to a vibrant socialist market economic system, from closed and semi-closed to all-round opening up, and achieved a historic breakthrough from the relatively backward state of productive forces to the second largest economic aggregate in the world; we have entered a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics. A moderately prosperous society has been built in an all-round way on the land of China, the problem of absolute poverty has been solved historically, and the spirit is moving toward the second centenary goal of comprehensively building a socialist modern power. The Chinese who have personally seen and personally felt the great achievements of the motherland have given birth to lofty ambition, backbone and confidence.

To achieve a better life, enhance the endogenous power of standing on its own feet among the nations of the world. The realization of wishes, the satisfaction of needs, and the maintenance of interests are the internal source and endogenous motivation for a person to enhance his ambition, backbone, and confidence. The Communist Party of China is a Marxist political party that regards the people's yearning for a better life as its goal of struggle. A hundred years ago, the Chinese nation was confronted by a scene of decay and withering, Chinese living a life of hunger and cold and no political rights. Today, the Chinese nation is showing the world a thriving atmosphere and is moving towards great rejuvenation with unstoppable steps. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have turned themselves into liberators, become masters of their own affairs, truly become the masters of the country, society, and their own destiny, and have continuously advanced toward the goal of all-round human development and common prosperity. The living standards of the Chinese people have been continuously improved, the per capita GDP has exceeded 10,000 US dollars, all levels and fields have participated in political life in an orderly manner, and the average life expectancy has exceeded 77 years; China has built the world's largest social security system, with basic medical insurance covering 1.36 billion people and basic endowment insurance covering nearly 1 billion people; the Chinese nation has eliminated absolute poverty, bid farewell to the nightmare of lack of food and clothing for thousands of years, and realized the long-cherished wish of "the people also work hard and can be well-off". It condenses the majestic strength of the sons and daughters of China to strive for a better life.

2. The Communist Party of China leads the Chinese people to prosper the excellent traditional Chinese culture and strengthen the Chinese civilization, nourishing the ambition, backbone and confidence of the Chinese

Culture is an important force for the survival and development of a nation and the spiritual nourishment for the production and life of its members. In modern times, the cpc has led the great struggle and great victories of the Chinese people, which has brought new vitality to the Chinese civilization with a history of more than 5,000 years in the process of modernization, and stimulated the pride of the Chinese people to "enter China without regrets in this life."

Inherit and develop China's excellent traditional culture, so that the light of Chinese civilization shines into the reality of national rejuvenation. Cultural diversity is the source of the progress of human civilization, but only by adapting to the development of the times can culture promote the progress of civilization. The culture nurtured by the Chinese nation in more than 5,000 years of development was once the spiritual motivation for the people of all ethnic groups living in this ancient country to be proud. When the train of the times entered the modern era, the feudal rulers relied on the thousand-year-old civilization background but clung to the shortcomings, resisted the trend of the times with a closed self-preservation, and Chinese people had to enter the torrent of world history with a humiliating and beaten posture. The birth of the Communist Party of China has opened up a new path and a new situation for the Chinese nation to correctly treat its own traditions. Comrade Mao Zedong stressed that the face of China, whether political, economic or cultural, should not be old and should be changed, but China's characteristics should be preserved. In contrast to the total denial and comprehensive abandonment, the COMMUNIST Party of China insists on taking its essence and removing its dross, using the past for the present and the foreign for the Chinese, devoting itself to national independence, the liberation of the people, the prosperity and strength of the country, and cultural prosperity, and regards all outstanding traditions as things connected with its own flesh and blood, so that the Chinese civilization can regain its glory and keep the "root" and "soul" of the Chinese.

Establish the guiding position of Marxism and adapt the most basic cultural genes of the Chinese nation to the development of the times. The crisis encountered by modern Chinese civilization is accompanied by the crisis of national existence, and the dignity of the Chinese has also fallen into a historical trough. The Chinese Communists have persistently integrated Marxism-Leninism with China's reality, and have used the power of Marxist truth to activate the great civilization created by the Chinese nation over thousands of years, so that Chinese civilization has once again burst forth with powerful spiritual strength. Under the guidance of Marxism, the Chinese Communists have always been the faithful inheritors and promoters of China's excellent traditional culture; instead of completely negating the tradition and engaging in total Westernization, they have taken China's outstanding traditional culture as the soil for growth, promoted the sinification of Marxism, and creatively formed an exciting revolutionary culture and a vigorous advanced socialist culture. The socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, composed of China's excellent traditional culture, revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture, is the condensation and sublimation of the modernization of Chinese civilization, which jointly edifies, shapes and enhances the main value, literacy personality and civilization level of contemporary Chinese, and supports the lofty ambition, backbone and heavy foundation of the Chinese.

Carry forward the cultural spirit that transcends time and space, transcends the country, is full of eternal charm and has contemporary value, so that Chinese culture can show a new world significance. All living organisms need metabolism, otherwise life will stop. Civilization is the same, if it closes itself off for a long time, it will inevitably decline. The Communist Party of China leads the people to take root in the land of China, absorb the outstanding achievements of human civilization, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's outstanding traditional culture, and adapt the ancient spiritual culture to the modern world. For example, the traditional virtues of Taoist nature, unity of nature and man, harmony and difference, the pursuit of the value of harmony and the state, the concept of cultivating qi zhiping, respecting the time and keeping one's position, knowing the constant change, and opening up things and becoming a worker, and the traditional virtues of self-improvement, dedication to the work, righteousness and goodness, helping the needy, seeing righteousness and courage, filial piety and love for the elderly, have been fully excavated and elaborated, showing a thinking and concept different from the traditional Western model, highlighting the great potential of Chinese culture to benefit mankind. These oriental wisdoms nourish our hearts, enlighten our conscience, stimulate our creativity, and bring enlightenment to the world to solve the dilemma of modernization, promote ecological protection, and promote civilization exchanges, and enhance the ambition, backbone and confidence of Chinese.

3. Fully stimulate the ambition, backbone and confidence of Chinese in the new era

From falling into the trough of historical development to approaching the great goal of national rejuvenation as never before, the ambition, backbone, and confidence of the Chinese have been continuously enhanced along with the great rejuvenation process of the Chinese nation. Xiong Guan Man Dao is really like iron, and now he steps forward from the beginning. Facing the new journey, only by taking history as a mirror and making unremitting efforts can we further enhance our self-confidence and heroism in doing Chinese in the midst of the nations of the world.

In the great practice of the new era, long ambition, strong backbone, and thick confidence. A person's ambition, backbone, and confidence are often based on the national and national strength of those born and raised in Sri Lanka. The American historian Streier once bluntly said that if a person is unfortunate enough to become a "man without a state", then he is nothing, "outside the organization of the state, there is no so-called savior". Over the past hundred years, the Communist Party of China has led the Chinese people to forge brilliance from suffering, create miracles from hardship, and harvest achievements in struggle, painting the background of the most strong ambition, backbone and confidence of contemporary Chinese. On the new journey, we must always maintain the spirit of forging ahead, pioneering and innovating, and the motive force of immersing ourselves in hard work and really doing solid work, base ourselves on the new development stage, implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, comprehensively do a good job in all aspects of reform, development, and stability, gather magnificent forces, seize the new victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and support the ambition, backbone, and confidence of the Chinese in the new era with the prosperity and strength of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation.

In the education to motivate the long ambition, strong backbone, thick confidence. Ambition, backbone, and confidence will not arise out of thin air, and they need to be nourished by education. Chinese must have a Chinese "heart", and only through silent and continuous and in-depth education can we continuously increase the credibility, cultivate the temperament, and enhance the realm. It is necessary to extensively carry out propaganda and education in the history of the party, the history of new China, the history of reform and opening up, and the history of socialist development, popularize the knowledge of party history, guide the broad masses of the people to profoundly understand the party's great contributions, profoundly understand the party's original intention and purpose, study the party's major theoretical achievements, inherit the party's great spirit, unswervingly listen to the party's words, follow the party, and make meritorious contributions in the great practice of comprehensively building a modern socialist country. It is necessary to vigorously publicize China's outstanding traditional culture and glorious history, strengthen education in patriotism, collectivism, and socialism through school education, theoretical research, historical research, film and television works, literary works, and other means, guide people to establish and adhere to a correct outlook on history, nationality, country, and culture, and enhance their ambition, backbone, and confidence in being a Chinese.

In the exemplary leadership of the medium long ambition, strong backbone, thick confidence. "Only the soul of the people is worthy of preciousness, and only when it is carried forward can China make real progress." Communist Party members are the vanguard of the times, the backbone of the nation, and the advanced elements of our society; whether they have the ambition, backbone, and confidence to strengthen Chinese the ambition, backbone, and confidence of the ordinary people is very crucial. Over the past hundred years, generation after generation of Chinese Communists have interpreted with practical actions what is the ambition, backbone, and confidence of Chinese. For example, Li Dazhao was awe-inspiring and unyielding in his righteousness in the face of the enemy's gallows, and even the reactionary warlords expressed the feeling that "the bones of communists are really hard"; Chen Shuxiang once made a steel oath of "shedding the last drop of blood for Soviet New China"; Sister Jiang showed the heroic spirit of "bamboo sticks are made of bamboo, and the will of communists is made of steel"; Qian Xuesen demonstrated that "foreigners can do it, can Chinese not do it?" "The backbone of the zhengzheng, and so on. It is necessary to let party members and cadres become models of Chinese with ambition, backbone, and confidence, so that the people can see and be convinced from the spiritual outlook of party members and cadres, and then enhance their own morale, backbone, and confidence.
