Mao Zedong
"The leader of the revolution is man, not God"

At the beginning of his speech, Xi Jinping said: "With great reverence, we solemnly gather here to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Mao Zedong, the main founder of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the People's Republic of China and the great leader of the people of all ethnic groups in China. ”
Xi Jinping recounted Mao Zedong's historical merits and status in stages.
But he did not shy away from the mistakes made by Mao Zedong, saying: "It cannot be denied that Comrade Mao Zedong has taken a detour in the exploration of the road of socialist construction, and that he made serious mistakes in his later years, especially in the 'Cultural Revolution'. The "Resolution on Several Historical Issues Concerning the Party Since the Founding of the People's Republic of China" made by the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China comprehensively evaluated Comrade Mao Zedong's historical merits and deeds. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said that Comrade Mao Zedong's merits were the first, his mistakes were the second, and his mistakes were in violating what he was right and was the mistake made by a great revolutionary and a great Marxist. ”
"Revolutionary leaders are men, not gods. Although they have a high theoretical level, rich experience in struggle, and excellent leadership skills, this does not mean that their understanding and action can be free from the conditions of the times. They cannot be worshipped as gods because they are great, and their mistakes and mistakes cannot be raised and corrected; nor can they be completely denied because they have made mistakes and mistakes, their historical merits cannot be erased and they are plunged into the quagmire of nihilism. ”
Xi Jinping said that the living soul of Mao Zedong Thought is the position, viewpoint and method that run through it, and they have three basic aspects, that is, seeking truth from facts, the mass line, and independence and self-determination. He also stressed that in the new situation, we must uphold and make good use of the living soul of Mao Zedong Thought, build our party well, and continue to push forward the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
