In practicing its original mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, the COMMUNIST Party of China has led the people to successfully walk out of the road of Chinese-style modernization and create a new form of human civilization. Over the past hundred years, our party has always cherished lofty ideals, cared for the happiness of the people and national rejuvenation, and cared for the future and destiny of mankind, so that the cause of the party and the state is closely linked to the cause of progress of all mankind. This strong sense of mission and the spirit of historical initiative have pushed the party to continuously integrate the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture, actively study and draw on all the advanced achievements of human civilization, lead the people to struggle hard, create great achievements in the new democratic revolution, socialist revolution and construction, reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, and socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and successfully embark on a Chinese-style modernization road suited to China's national conditions. It has created a new form of human civilization and achieved fruitful results in the coordinated development of material, political, spiritual, social and ecological civilizations.

The material civilization we have created is a material civilization that adheres to the people-centered approach, is oriented to meet the needs of the people for a better life, takes independence and self-determination as an important principle, and develops in harmony with spiritual civilization. It has avoided the violent conflicts between classes, regions and religions that have emerged in the development of some countries, and avoided the "middle-income trap" and dependency trap encountered by some developing countries. Xi Jinping's Socialist Economic Thought with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era adheres to and develops Marxist political economy, emphasizing that the purpose of socialist production is to make the mainland's supply capacity better meet the growing, escalating and personalized material and cultural and ecological needs of the vast number of people, and guide us to achieve higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and more secure development.

In the vast land of China, the Chinese people are self-confident and self-reliant, and the cohesion and centripetal force of the whole society have been greatly improved. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Inheriting Chinese culture is by no means simple retro, nor is it blindly exclusive, but the ancient is used for the present, the foreign is used in China, dialectical trade-offs, and the old is new." Under the leadership of the party, China's excellent traditional culture has been inherited and carried forward under the new historical conditions, creative transformation and innovative development. Our party adheres to leading cultural construction with the core socialist values, pays attention to casting the soul with advanced socialist culture, revolutionary culture, and Chinese excellent traditional culture, extensively carries out propaganda and education on socialism with Chinese characteristics and the Chinese dream, and forms a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leading force.

Deeply understand the great significance of the new form of human civilization

The new form of human civilization created by our party leading the people in the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics is of great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance to the development and progress of the Chinese nation and the whole world.

Another great creation in the history of the Chinese nation. Judging from the content covered by the new form of civilization, the "new" is manifested in the fact that we have new creations in material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization, and these five major civilizations have inherent unity. From the perspective of the way of civilization innovation, the "new" is manifested in ideological concepts, institutional systems, development paths, humanistic spirit, social practice, etc., and constitutes an organic and unified whole, not a simple imitation or "re-edition" or "reproduction" of any other form of civilization, nor is it a partial repair and improvement of the traditional civilization form. Judging from the basis for the emergence of civilization, "new" is manifested in taking the advanced socialist culture as the ontology, fully absorbing the revolutionary culture, the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and all the advanced achievements of human civilization, and is an overall civilization innovation of epoch-making significance formed in the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The new form of human civilization created by our party leading the people is another great civilization creation of the Chinese nation after the creation of many civilizations in history, radiating a dazzling light in the genealogy of human civilization and walking in the forefront of the trend of progress of world civilization.

Add new connotations to human civilization. Our party has led the people to create a new form of human civilization, insisting that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people, making it clear that the masses of the people are the main force of historical development and social progress, transcending the separation and antagonism between the Western ruling class and the masses of the people, and providing new wisdom for solving the problems of human development; adhering to the Marxist world outlook and methodology, advocating the people to establish a strong historical initiative, grasp the law, understand the world, and transform the world. To provide new enlightenment for mankind to cope with various risks and challenges on the way forward; to emphasize the promotion of common prosperity in high-quality development, to provide new wisdom for promoting social justice and all-round human development; to emphasize the harmony between man and nature, revealing the relationship between human beings and the natural world in a community of life, and providing new wisdom for mankind to cope with the global challenges of the ecological environment; upholding and developing Marxist world history theory, inheriting and promoting the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation that benefits the world, concords all nations, and harmony and differences, Provide new wisdom for solving the current world governance deficit, trust deficit, development deficit and peace deficit. The contemporary Chinese civilization that contains the above elements and is formed in the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics has not only laid the foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but also given new value connotations to human civilization.

It has opened up a new realm of scientific socialism. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "After Marxism was introduced to China, the idea of scientific socialism was warmly welcomed by the Chinese people, and eventually took root in the land of China and blossomed into fruition, which is by no means accidental, but is integrated with the excellent history and culture of the mainland that has been passed down for thousands of years and the values that the vast number of people do not realize every day." "The new form of human civilization is a great result of the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality, with the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and the exploration and formation of practice. On the basis of the scientific analysis of the movement of the basic contradictions in human society, Marx made a scientific analysis of the future development direction of human civilization, proposed to eventually establish an ideal society without oppression, without exploitation, equality for all, and freedom for all, and encouraged and inspired people in the world who pursue a better future. Whether world socialism is at a high or low ebb, and whether the party's cause is in a favorable or unfavorable situation, the COMMUNIST Party of China has always adhered to its ideals and unswerving determination, always adhered to its original mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese the people, and seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Creating a new form of human civilization means that the Chinese Communists are not only good at destroying an old world, but also good at building a new world, which further highlights the scientific and truth, popular, practical, openness, and epochal nature of Marxism, and opens up a new realm of scientific socialism.

It has expanded the path to realize the common values of all mankind. In the long-term exploration of the pursuit of civilization and progress, human beings have formed many common values. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "We should vigorously promote the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom for all mankind, and jointly provide correct conceptual guidance for building a better world." The new form of human civilization created by the cpc leadership of the people has broken the "Western-centrism" of civilization and provided a new path, wisdom and enlightenment for realizing the values that mankind has pursued for thousands of years. Contemporary China proves to the world that in the pursuit of common human values, the Chinese nation can not only catch up with the times, but also do better. The new form of human civilization created by our party under the leadership of the people has expanded the path for realizing the common values of all mankind and shown the bright prospects for realizing the common values of all mankind.
