General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the meeting to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution: "On the new journey, we must make overall plans for the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the great changes in the world that have not occurred in a hundred years, seize the historical opportunity, enhance the sense of distress, always think of danger in times of peace, maintain the revolutionary spirit and revolutionary fighting spirit, have the courage to carry out great struggles with many new historical characteristics, and resolutely overcome any major risks and challenges that may hinder the process of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the quality of will to dare to struggle and be good at struggle, and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty. Security, development interests. ”

The spirit of struggle is a topic that is often discussed and always new, and is often thought out, and with the development of the times and the deepening of practice, the connotation of the spirit of struggle is also constantly enriched. The spirit of struggle in the new era is the spirit of facing risks and challenges formed against the background of the changes in the international pattern and the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country at home; it is the spirit of upholding Marxism and opposing all kinds of non-Marxist and anti-Marxist ideological trends in upholding the truth and correcting mistakes; it is also the spirit of struggle in which officials start a business, overcome difficulties, and have the courage to make innovations in the process of accomplishing great causes and dreams under the leadership of the Communist Party of China; and at the same time, it is also a spirit of struggle that is good at planning a layout and paying attention to methods and tactics. Adhere to the rational spirit of struggle that is reasonable, beneficial, and restrained. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period and is marching toward the second centenary goal of comprehensively building a socialist modern power, and we must continue to carry forward the spirit of struggle and have the courage to carry out a great struggle with many new historical characteristics.

Carry forward the spirit of struggle under the guidance of Marxist theory

To carry forward the spirit of struggle, first, we must persist in taking Marxist theory as the guide. Only by being sober-minded in theory and method can we ensure the confidence and strength of the struggle. "Marxism is not the study in the study", Marxism has been practice-oriented since its birth, and it is precisely under the guidance of Marxism that mankind has realized the transcendence of the social system and opened up a new era in history. Second, we must adhere to the analytical method of dialectical materialism. Struggle is a struggle after rational analysis, not a struggle for the sake of struggle; struggle is not reckless, but encompasses scientific tactics and methods of struggle. The practice of the Communist Party of China in leading China's revolution, construction and reform shows that only by comprehensively and dynamically and materialistically and dialectically analyzing the contradictions, tasks and prospects of society in different periods can we win victory in the struggle. The analytical method of dialectical materialism laid the rational foundation for the great struggle with many new historical features.

Carry forward the spirit of struggle in the fine traditions of the Communist Party of China

In the course of the CPC's century-long historical journey, we felt the party's spirit of struggle. The spirit of struggle is the condensation and sublimation of the ideals, convictions, wills, character, and wisdom of chinese communists, and every period of revolutionary history is a vivid teaching material. Study the party's history of struggle over the past hundred years, profoundly understand the great leap process of the CPC leading the Chinese people to achieve the great leap from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong, provide valuable experience for carrying forward the spirit of struggle in the new era, and also accumulate skills and methods of struggle.

Draw strength from the red culture created by the Chinese Communist Party. The red culture created by the CPC in revolution, construction and reform reflects the internal law of the CPC's struggle and provides an important cultural medium for inheriting the Party's excellent revolutionary traditions. Red culture and the spirit of struggle have a high degree of relevance in terms of core content and value pursuit, and carrying forward the spirit of struggle also grasps the essence of red culture.

We should have the courage to carry out self-revolution and continue the spirit of struggle in the spiritual character of the Communist Party of China. Reviewing the party's history, persisting in seeking truth from facts, and having the courage to carry out self-revolution are the magic weapons for the CPC to continuously advance from victory to new victories. The new-democratic revolution and the socialist revolution have shown the spirit of struggle to transform the objective world outward in their heroic struggle to transform the old society; in concrete revolutionary practice, the Gutian Conference, the Zunyi Conference, the Eighty-Seventh Conference, and so on have criticized and corrected the erroneous line and erroneous tendencies existing within the Party, embodying the spirit of struggle to transform the subjective world inward. Especially since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, powerful measures such as "fighting tigers," "shooting flies," and "hunting foxes" have been the aspirations of the people. In the course of a hundred years, the Communist Party of China has adhered to the blade of the blade inward, and vigorously promoted the great social change with continuous self-revolution. Standing at a new historical starting point and waging a great struggle with many new historical characteristics, we must continue the spirit of struggle in the spiritual character of the Communist Party of China.

We should carry forward the spirit of struggle on the premise of having a direction, a stand, and a principle

To carry forward the spirit of struggle in the new period, it is necessary to clearly define the objectives and principles of struggle.

It is necessary to take responsibility, face contradictions head-on, and actively take the initiative to meet difficulties, risks and challenges. From an international point of view, the world's unprecedented major changes in a century have accelerated their evolution, and the "China threat theory" and other arguments have risen and fallen; from a domestic point of view, the transformation of government functions, industrial upgrading, ideological struggle, and other issues are complex. The comprehensive deepening of reform has entered the period of tackling tough problems and deep-water areas, and there are still many "Loushan Passes" and "Lazikou" that need to be overcome. Only by taking responsibility, daring to break through and dare to do things, daring to carry out great struggles with many new historical characteristics, and having the courage to take the road that others have not taken, can we see a different kind of scenery.

It is necessary to adhere to the people-centered political stance and never forget the original intention. The Communist Party of China is a party of the proletariat and has always worked for the interests of the people. We must do everything that is beneficial to the people boldly and resolutely, and we must not take refuge in anything that is difficult or shirk our responsibilities; and we must resolutely carry out criticism and struggle for anything that harms the interests of the people. Only by firmly taking the people-centered political stand can we ensure that the spirit of struggle does not change its color and does not deviate.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The struggle of communists has a direction, a stand and a principle. "The general direction is to unswervingly uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system in our country. All kinds of risks and challenges that endanger the leadership of the Communist Party of China and China's socialist system, all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger China's sovereignty, security, and development interests, all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger China's core interests and major principles, all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger the fundamental interests of our people, and all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger China's realization of the "two hundred years" goal of struggle and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, as long as they come, we must carry out a resolute struggle and win victory in the struggle. We must be sober-minded and firm in our stand, firmly grasp the correct direction of the struggle, and ensure that in the face of all kinds of major struggles and tests, we must "not be afraid of floating clouds to cover our eyes" and "still calmly fly through chaotic clouds."
