History is the best textbook. In the long years, the Chinese nation has always attached importance to history, studied history, taken history as a mirror, and drawn wisdom and strength from history to forge ahead. At the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "Chinese youth in the new era should take it as their duty to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, enhance their ambition, backbone, and confidence to be Chinese, and live up to the times, Shaohua, and the ardent expectations of the party and the people!" Looking back at the history that our party, the country and the Chinese nation have gone through, those brilliant achievements, endless struggles, and rising up in the midst of hardship and despair can always inspire our incomparable pride and self-confidence as Chinese. At the important moment of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, embark on a new journey toward the goal of the second centenary struggle, and enhance the ambition, backbone and confidence of being a Chinese, history can give us valuable wisdom and powerful strength.

The Chinese nation has always admired people with backbones. Whenever a nation is in danger, there are always many advanced elements leading the Chinese people to go forward and succeed each other, help the building to fall, turn the tide of the tide, and stand up the backbone of the Chinese nation. After modern times, China fell into the dark abyss of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, with national crises and deep suffering for the people, but the Chinese people never yielded and constantly rose up to fight for national independence and people's liberation. After the founding of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people, whose spirit changed from passive to active, wrote countless indomitable and indomitable chapters on the journey of realizing national rejuvenation. The backbone of the Chinese is written in the indomitable spirit of the revolutionary martyrs who "can break their heads, shed blood, and must not lose their revolutionary will," in the fearlessness of the Red Army fighters in "blocking the road to life and surviving the road to death," in the self-confidence of scientific and technological workers that "foreigners can do it, but can't Chinese we do it," and in our firm determination not to take the old road, not to take the evil road, and to always follow the right path in the world. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that all kinds of risks and challenges that jeopardize china's realization of the "two hundred years" goal and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, as long as they come, we must carry out a resolute struggle, unswerving, unflinching, until victory is achieved. These sonorous and powerful words spoke of the backbone of Chinese and the spirit of fearless struggle.

Chinese civilization has created countless historical sites and cultural treasures, and China's excellent traditional culture has provided rich spiritual nourishment for the Chinese nation to move forward with great enthusiasm. No civilization in the world can be as vigorous as the Chinese civilization, which has gone through vicissitudes and tribulations and has been rejuvenated. Over the past 100 years, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have overthrown the oppression of the "three mountains" and established a new China, created a miracle of economic and social development on the basis of poverty and poverty, and completed the industrialization process that developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years in a few decades, becoming the world's second largest economy. The people of our country have gone from insufficient food and clothing to an all-round well-off, and have completely shaken off absolute poverty as a whole. China has maintained social harmony and stability for a long time, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and has become one of the most secure countries recognized by the international community. In the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the advantages of our party's leadership and the advantages of China's socialist system have been fully demonstrated. After this test, the confidence and conviction of Chinese are more firm, and their self-confidence and pride are more confident.

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. The road ahead will not be smooth, and we will encounter all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, for which we must be fully prepared and determined. Today, when the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has shown unprecedented bright prospects, we must unswervingly take the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, take this road that has been proven correct by practice, and take this road that can make greater contributions to mankind. "Don't let people boast about the good color, just leave the air full of dry air." For questioning and incomprehension, we must have the ambition to not change and unswervingly, and we must also maintain a historical patience, believing that practice and time will eventually give the answer.

Today, China has embarked on a new journey, and the rapid changes in the situation and environment, the heavy tasks of reform, development and stability, and the number of contradictions, risks, and challenges are unprecedented. In particular, we must enhance our ambition, backbone, and confidence, strengthen our confidence and conviction, think and act with all our hearts and minds, twist into a rope, and make concerted efforts to carry through to the end the great struggle with many new historical characteristics. Under the unity and leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people with backbone and confidence will surely gather their mighty strength to realize the Chinese dream with one heart and one mind, so that history and the world can witness the struggle and glory of an ancient nation towards great rejuvenation.
