(1) The world will prosper, and its accumulation will have a source.
"You were born a hundred years ago, in a stormy storm, never afraid of the turbid waves that come at you... I am bathed in the warm sunshine of the new era, and I have never forgotten you vaguely in memory", in front of the newly renovated site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Shanghai Small Screen Star Choir sang a song "Centennial Horn". Melodious melody, natural children's voice, through the centuries of wind and rain, singing the torch.
This year marks the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. "The rejuvenation and decline are at the time of the subjugation of the country and the extinction of the species, the salvation of the people is in the depths of the waters, the establishment of the republic is at the time of the revolution, the rejuvenation of the hundred industries is above the poverty and the two whites, the initiative of reform is on the tortuous way forward, the prosperity of the well-off is in the process of forging ahead, and the glory is the great weather of rejuvenation..." Looking back at the CPC's centennial journey, no matter from which angle it is, it can be called great.
A hundred years of wind and rain, how much tragedy, how much heroism, how much glory.
A hundred years ago, few could have imagined that the conference, which was urgently transferred from Shikumen in Shanghai to Nanhu in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, would become a "groundbreaking event" in history, even though "nothing seemed to happen, not even a little in the newspapers"; an organization that had only more than 50 party members at its inception would grow to become the world's largest ruling party with more than 95 million party members, leading a population of more than 1.4 billion and with major global influence.
From "how long has the red flag been beaten" to today's "why can the Chinese Communist Party", questions are turning into admiration, and time has given answers.
"One hundred years ago, the pioneers of the Communist Party of China founded the Communist Party of China, forming the great spirit of adhering to the truth, adhering to ideals, practicing the original intention, undertaking the mission, not being afraid of sacrifice, heroic struggle, loyalty to the party, and living up to the people, which is the source of the spirit of the Communist Party of China." At the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping incisively summarized the profound connotation of the great spirit of party building and profoundly revealed the spiritual code for Chinese communists to create miracles on earth.
Great causes breed great spirits, and great spirits lead great causes. The seeds of the spirit contain the genes of where we "come from", and they also mark the signposts of our "where to go".
From 1921 to 2021, a century of great deeds was brilliantly created; from Shikumen to Tiananmen, from Xingye Road to Fuxing Road, a spiritual epic magnificent writing. Forged in the quest and pursuit, forged in the struggle and sacrifice, tempered in dedication and responsibility, the great spirit of party building, running through the century-old journey, standing in the mountains and mountains, tempering the distinct political character of the Chinese communists, leading the great rejuvenation voyage of the Chinese nation.
Q The canal is as clear as promised? For there is a source of living water to come.
(2) The spirit is the sublimation of history, and history is the unfolding of the spirit.
Since the fall of 1840, the great powers have been around, the people have no livelihood, the Nine Plains are swinging, and the land has sunk for a hundred years, "China's pain and disaster are as vast and long as this snowy night." In order to save the nation from peril and realize the rejuvenation of china, all kinds of doctrines, large and small parties, have appeared one after another and have been annihilated in the smoke and dust of history.
Looking around, "full of soldiers, sores, people's livelihood is withering, and clouds are extremely strong", Mang Mang Shenzhou, who saved China? Looking around, "human suffering has reached the extreme, social darkness has reached the extreme", the vast earth, who is the lord to sink and float?
Taking the lead in awakening in the snowy night and raising the light in the darkness, the pioneers of the Chinese Communist Party stood up without hesitation. Comrade Li Dazhao shouted: "Break through the shackles of history, cleanse the filth of history, create the life of a new nation, and save the youth of the nation!" Comrade Mao Zedong vowed: "The world is our world." The country is our country. The society is our society. We don't say, who says? If we don't do it, who does it? ”
On June 29, 1921, Xie Jueya wrote in his diary: "At six o'clock in the afternoon, Shuheng went to Shanghai, and the traveler Ranzhi went to the whole country to make a move. These five circles were deliberately written to avoid searches by reactionaries, and they are a serious and solemn reference to "communists." The "National Communist's Trick", which originated in Shikumen, Shanghai, was like thunder and lightning, breaking through the long night.
According to incomplete statistics, from the Wuchang Uprising in 1911 to the end of 1913, there were 682 newly established public groups in China, including 312 political groups, and as many as 99 in Shanghai alone. Among the many political forces, the nascent Chinese Communist Party appears to be so weak that it has "almost nothing but faith."
What are the distinctive qualities that make this nascent political party "stand out in the repeated contests of various political forces in modern China"? What kind of character that travels through time and space promotes this century-old party to "always walk in the forefront of the times and become the backbone of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation"?
The sign of victory and defeat, spiritual foresight. When the pioneers of the Communist Party of China embarked on the great cause of party founding, the answer was already hidden in the extraordinary spirit.
From the struggle and expectation for the "rebirth of youth China", to the determination and courage of "a fundamental method, that is, the great unity of the people", to the persistence and pursuit of "creating a new world where everyone has food to eat and everyone has clothes to wear"... One by one, communists are like fire-sowers, igniting the sparks of dark China, lighting up the hope for the rejuvenation of ancient nations, and showing the logic and spiritual strength of a political party's actions.
What the Communist Party of China seeks in the founding of the Party -- upholding the truth and adhering to the ideal. "Faith in Marxism, faith in socialism and communism, is the political soul of communists, and the spiritual pillar for communists to withstand any test" "When a political party has lofty ideals and lofty pursuits, it will be strong and powerful, indestructible, invincible, and able to withstand setbacks and rise up again and again";
Why the Communist Party of China was founded - to practice the original intention and undertake the mission. "Seeking happiness for the Chinese people, and seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation is the original intention and mission of the Chinese communists, and it is the fundamental motive force that encourages generations of Chinese communists to go forward and fight bravely" "The party's original intention and mission are the concentrated embodiment of the party's nature, purpose, ideals and beliefs, and goals of struggle, and encourage our party to always adhere to it and forge ahead with determination."
What does the Communist Party of China rely on to rejuvenate the party - not afraid of sacrifice and heroic struggle. "In order to save the country and save the people, we are not afraid of any difficulties and dangers, and we will not hesitate to make all kinds of sacrifices" "In coping with various difficulties and challenges, our party has tempered the wind and bone and quality of not being afraid of strong enemies, not afraid of risks, daring to struggle, and daring to win." This is the most distinctive characteristic and characteristic of our Party";
What does the Chinese Communist Party rely on to strengthen the party - loyalty to the party and not to the people. "Our party has experienced countless hardships and tribulations along the way, but no difficulty has crushed us, and no enemy has been able to overthrow us, relying on the loyalty of tens of millions of party members." "The country and the mountains are the people, the people are the rivers and mountains, and fighting the rivers and mountains and guarding the rivers and mountains is the people's hearts."
"Once the fire of ideals and convictions is ignited, it will never be extinguished." From the bloody battle of the Long March to the smoke of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, from the exploration of construction to the tackling of tough problems in reform, from the cause of development to the great cause of rejuvenation, when the CPC developed from a small red boat into a mighty ship that led China to sail steadily and far, when the Chinese nation ushered in a great leap from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong, when the Chinese people were in the great era of "the most reason to be confident," the great spirit of party building was precisely the "source code" and "root directory" behind the glory of the past century.
Where a tree has roots, it can grow, and where water has a source, it can run. Only by looking back at the spiritual source of the Communist Party of China can we gain insight into the mysteries of the century-old prosperity; only by searching for the historical roots of the Communist Party of China can we understand the ambition to achieve great things in the future.
(3) On the eve of "July 1st", a major memorial hall of the Communist Party of China was opened. Before the "Taste of Truth" exhibition, the 72 versions of the "Treasure of the Town Hall" of the "Communist Manifesto" attracted many visitors. A hundred years ago, China, which was painstakingly exploring the road to salvation and survival, found Marxism; over the past hundred years, countless communists have "adhered to the truth and adhered to ideals," which has cast the ideological cornerstone of the great spirit of party building.
The light of truth penetrates the tunnel of time, illuminating the past, present and future.
For many years, a question has puzzled many people: In 20th-century China, all the most important political systems and ideologies in the world have been tested, and almost none of them have been satisfactory, so why only the Chinese Communist Party and Marxism have succeeded.
At the beginning of January 1921, when the snow was falling in Changsha, Comrade Mao Zedong spoke at the New Year's Conference of the Changsha Students of the Xinmin Society, in favor of using the Russian-style revolutionary road, which was "a road that has been newly invented by all roads." He compared social democracy, anarchism, etc., and argued that "the fierce method of communism, the so-called labor-peasantism, can be predicted by the method of class dictatorship, and is therefore the most suitable to be adopted."
On September 17, 2020, with the drizzle of Changsha, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the Yuelu Academy, a thousand-year-old academy, looked at the "Seeking Truth from Facts" plaque on the eaves of the academy's lecture hall, pondered for a long time, and profoundly summarized: "How can the Communist Party succeed?" At that time in Shikumen, on the South Lake, there was such a boat, so a dozen people, to this step today. The road here must be clear, and the truth must be localized. ”
Not every Communist Party member is a natural Marxist. From the perspective of great history, truth is pursued in the spirit of truth, and ideals are chosen with a scientific attitude.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Foreign Affairs Movement, the Wushu Reform Law, the Boxer Rebellion, and the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty have not succeeded; after the Xinhai Revolution, various forms such as constitutional monarchy, imperial restoration, parliamentary system, multi-party system, and presidential system, various political forces and their representative figures have appeared, and they have not been able to find the correct answer.
The reason why Marxism has become the "true scripture" of the Chinese Communists in repeated comparisons, the pursuit of them in the tide of the world, and the fact that marxism has become the "true scripture" of the Chinese Communists is that its scientific nature and truthfulness have been fully tested in China; the reason why the Communist Party of China is called the Communist Party is because it has established communism as a lofty ideal from the day of its founding.
It can be understood from this that in the past hundred years, the Chinese Communists have found a common language and a spiritual pillar under the banner of Marxism.
Tasting the sweetness of truth and exalting the sails of ideals, countless communists, regardless of the wind and rain, are not afraid of all difficulties and dangers, burst out of the arrogance of overwhelming all enemies and not being overwhelmed by them. Before the heroic righteousness, Fang Zhimin made a generous statement: "The enemy can only cut off our heads, and must not shake our faith!" In the ice and snow, Yang Jingyu was full of fighting spirit: "Revolution is like fire, let the snow seal the mountains, birds and beasts hide, as long as we have fire, we can drive away the cold, bring light and warmth." Looking back on the victory of the Long March, Comrade Zhang Wentian sighed: "Without ideals, the Red Army cannot even go a thousand miles." Summing up historical experience, Comrade Deng Xiaoping stressed: "Faith in Marxism is a spiritual driving force for the victory of the Chinese revolution. ”
Over the past one hundred years, the Chinese Communists have "toppled" the "heavens" of Marxism, "established" the "earth" of China's national conditions, treated science with a scientific attitude, pursued the truth in the spirit of truth, continuously promoted the sinicization of Marxism, founded Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory, formed the important thinking of "three represents" and the scientific concept of development, founded Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, provided scientific theoretical guidance for the development of the cause of the party and the people, and created a new road of Chinese-style modernization. A new form of human civilization has been created.
Today, we have achieved the first centenary goal, comprehensively built a moderately prosperous society on the land of China, historically solved the problem of absolute poverty, and are moving toward the second centenary goal of comprehensively building a socialist modern power - when the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation presents an unprecedented bright future, when the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics shines with an incomparably powerful appeal, we have a more profound understanding of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important conclusion: "Why can the Communist Party of China, Why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good, in the final analysis, is because of Marxism! ”
The light of truth and the light of ideals shine together, showing the magnificent atmosphere of a political party and illuminating the historical sky of a nation.
(4) Whether it is a person or a political party, the most rare thing is that the original intention has not changed after experiencing vicissitudes, and it has been weathered by wind and frost while the true color is still the same.
On December 5, 1925, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in his reasons for the inaugural issue of the Political Weekly: "Why revolution? In order to liberate the Chinese nation, to realize the rule of the people, and to enable the people to achieve economic happiness. ”
On July 1, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the conference celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China: "Once the Communist Party of China was born, it established itself as its original mission to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. ”
"Practicing the original intention and undertaking the mission" is the spiritual inheritance that spans time and space, and it is also a consistent emotional responsibility.
The materialist view of history holds that the emergence and development of a thing can only be understood under certain socio-historical conditions. After modern China, around the word "salvation", how many times the flag was put up and the flag fell, how many times people gathered and scattered, how many heroes drank and hated the heavens, and how many heroes were hard to reward...
In March 1921, Comrade Li Dazhao wrote with emotion in his article "The Cause of Group Training and Innovation": "Since entering the Republic of China, political parties have all taken advantage of the fire and robbery, planted the party for personal gain, called on friends and shouted, swindled and deceived, praised the old man's rough legs, sought his own job, neither the spirit of a political party nor the organization of the group, and hoped that they would make some reforms for the benefit of the people, just like hoping that the sun would come out from the west." ”
When the hope of "axiom over power" was shattered by the great powers, when the shame of "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter" hung over the ancient nation, and when the Chinese people who suffered greatly could not see a way out in the warlord melee, the Chinese Communists stood up the backbone of the Chinese nation with profound people's feelings and strong mission responsibility, and created a "country of youth" with "the youth of me."
The history of suffering and humiliation has given birth to the original intention of the Chinese Communists; the blood of saving the Chinese communists and trying to survive has forged the mission of the Chinese communists.
In 1937, a French reporter found during an interview in Yan'an that the doctor Fu Lianhui gave up his high salary of 400 silver yuan per month to join the Red Army, climbed snowy mountains and crossed meadows, and was known as "Red Huatuo". The story was published in france's "National Salvation Times", which triggered many international friends and progressives to visit Yan'an, including the Canadian doctor Bethune. Fu Lianhui made a seemingly inconceivable choice precisely because he found that only by following the Chinese Communist Party could he save the country and the people.
The choice of the Chinese Communists is "by no means self-sufficiency for the sake of clothing and food, but for those who have food and clothing for 40,000 compatriots" and "neither is it self-sufficiency that is sufficient for self-enjoyment, but for those who can enjoy happiness among 40,000 compatriots." For the sake of such an original mission, Peng Pan abandoned the "field property that crows can't fly" to join the revolution, Yu Xiusong was determined to "be a person who is beneficial to the country and the people", Deng Zhongxia firmly believed in prison that "a person can die for the interests of the most Chinese people and for the interests of the industrious masses.
Practicing the original intention and undertaking the mission, the female Red Army "has a quilt herself, and she must also cut off half of it for the common people" during the Long March because the Red Army is the ranks of the common people themselves; Jiao Yulu persisted in his work with severe pain because he "had the whole people in his heart, but not himself"; Liao Junbo was a "woodcutter" because he firmly believed that "helping the common people to work and protect the interests of the masses, how to do it is not excessive"; Zhong Nanshan fearlessly "retrograde" because he believed that "the hospital is a battlefield, as a soldier, We don't rush up who goes up."
A century-old party history is not only an epic poem that moves the world and the earth, but also a hymn that is committed to practicing the mission of the original heart. Because of the eternal preservation of the heart of the child, the pioneers of this era have a magic weapon to pass on the torch; because of the desire to rejuvenate, the backbone of this nation has an endless source of power.
"Mangy Shenzhou, which has fallen to the storm to be saved; who is the pillar of the middle stream in the vast China?" The question of the times more than a hundred years ago has already had the loudest answer. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, today's Chinese can confidently "look at the world head-on" and regain the dignity and glory of being a Chinese; today's Chinese nation, from being bullied to being independent and prosperous, is moving toward great rejuvenation with unstoppable steps.
(5) Breaking new ground has always been a life of nine deaths; changing heaven and earth is doomed to storm and rain.
In the exhibition hall of the history of the Communist Party of China, there is a special cultural relic numbered 0001 , a gallows. On April 28, 1927, in the Jingshi Detention Center in Xijiaomin Lane, Beijing, comrade Li Dazhao, 38 years old, did not hesitate, did not fear, dressed in robes and open-minded, walked to this gallows. "Sacrifice is always the price of success" "Noble life, always in the heroic sacrifice"
In order to have the courage to sacrifice more, dare to teach the sun and the moon for a new day.
Pulling away the smoke and clouds of history, the indomitable years of bloody battles are still shocking; looking back at the hundred-year history, the historical scenes of turbulence and turmoil still make people tear up:
His name was Guo Liang, and he was only 27 years old at the time of his death. In March 1928, after Guo Liang was arrested, in the enemy's "courtroom", in the face of the death threats of the reactionaries, he said unyieldingly: "You can kill, don't ask more!" ”
His name was Chen Shuxiang, and he was only 29 years old at the time of his death. In December 1934, he was seriously wounded in the Battle of the Xiangjiang River and was unfortunately captured. On the stretcher, unwilling to be a prisoner of war, he endured severe pain and cut his intestines from the wound and strangled it.
His name was Zhao Shangzhi, and he was only 34 years old at the time of his death. In February 1942, during the anti-Japanese war led by his troops, he was seriously wounded and captured, vowing not to surrender, "death will also die on the northeast anti-Japanese battlefield."
…………
"Without sparing the head of the new homeland, Gan will be willing to fertilize China with blood." For the sake of ideals and beliefs, how many revolutionary pioneers have no remorse, no complaints, no regrets, even if they have paid for their precious lives; how many Chinese Communists are full of enthusiasm and perseverance, and have always stood at the forefront of tackling tough problems and overcoming difficulties. Without the spirit of "not being afraid of sacrifice and heroic struggle", there would be no bright red five-star red flag flying high on the land of Shenzhou.
It's a powerful set of numbers. The arduous jinggangshan struggle lasted for more than two years, and the heroic martyrs who sacrificed an average of nearly 60 people per day. On the 25,000-mile Long March, the 86,000 men of the Red Army when they set out from Jiangxi arrived in northern Shaanxi, and on average, 4 Red Army soldiers fell every kilometer, and only 1 out of every 14 people reached northern Shaanxi. During the New Democratic Revolution alone, 3.7 million revolutionary martyrs died heroically and are notable. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people have not been intimidated, conquered and killed. They got up from the ground, wiped the blood off their bodies, buried the bodies of their companions, and they went on fighting. ”
It's a memory that can't be forgotten. In order to defend the newborn republic, the volunteer officers blocked the holes of their guns with their chests, used their bodies as ladders, endured hunger and frost and never flinched, burned their bodies and stood still, and fought with "less steel and more gas" to overcome "more steel and less gas"; in order to take off the hat of "poor oil country", The iron man Wang Jinxi issued a steel oath in the oil conference battle: "If there are conditions to go up, there are no conditions to create conditions to go up" and "I would rather live for twenty years less, and desperately want to win the big oil field"; in order to get rid of the nuclear threat and nuclear blackmail, I participated in the "two bombs and one satellite" The scientists and scientific and technological workers who developed went as far as the depths of the desert, took the board house tent as their home, took the Gobi yellow sand as their companion, and were willing to be anonymous and buried celebrities.
It was a rain or shine march. Anti-poverty, building a well-off, fighting the peak of the flood, fighting the epidemic, turning the crisis, responding to the situation... In the great struggle with many new historical characteristics, the Chinese Communists have accumulated the tenacity of "fighting through thousands of hardships and blows and returning strength" in the course of rolling stones up the mountain and climbing over the obstacles, and have forged ahead with the character of "the more difficult and dangerous the more advanced." In the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, more than 39 million party members and cadres across the country have fought in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic, and nearly 400 party members and cadres have sacrificed their precious lives to protect the safety of people's lives; in the fight against poverty, more than 3 million first secretaries and village cadres have fought together with nearly 2 million township cadres and millions of village cadres in the frontline of poverty alleviation, and more than 1,800 comrades have fixed their lives on the journey of poverty alleviation.
Who says history is speechless? The deeds of heroes are the best narrative in history. Who says time has bounds? Spiritual power is always able to travel through the barriers of time and space.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "No party in the world has encountered so many difficulties and obstacles, experienced so many life and death tests, and paid so many tragic sacrifices like us. "Over the past hundred years, generation after generation of Chinese Communists have not been afraid of sacrifice and heroic struggle, because they know very well that they have devoted themselves to the great cause of national rejuvenation and shouldered the heavy burden of the people's happiness.
"At the end of 'Yanqiao Road', it has led to the 'bustling avenue'." On the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the Party, many people spontaneously came to Yanqiao Road in Hefei, Anhui Province, to commemorate the martyrs Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian, the early leaders of the Communist Party of China. More than 90 years ago, in the face of the enemy's butcher's knife, Chen Yannian replied: "Revolutionaries are bright and upright, regard death as a homecoming, and only stand to die, never kneel!" In the face of torture in prison, Chen Qiaonian said: "Let our children and grandchildren enjoy the happiness of their predecessors through thorns and thorns!" ”
Along the way, how many guns and bullets rained down, how many ambitions were fierce, how many firm forwards... Countless Chinese communists and the people have linked their hearts, breathed together, and shared a common destiny, dyed the party flag and the national flag red with boiling hot blood, forged the soul of the party and the country with sacrifice and dedication, turned the great spirit into a great march of indomitable progress, and turned it into the rebirth of an ancient nation phoenix nirvana.
(6) The National Museum of China treasures a "Volunteer Book for Joining the Party" that has been baptized with blood and fire, which is the only party card preserved during the Jinggangshan period. The oath of membership of the owner of the party card when he secretly joined the Communist Party of China on January 25, 1931, although there are 6 words out of 24 words, the simple and fearless oath, the loyal and determined faith, convey the power of shocking people's hearts.
The oath of membership of the Communist Party of China has undergone several changes in the history of the Party, but "never betray the Party" is an unchanging content.
From the stormy times to the years of suffering and glory, there are many influencing factors for the CPC to be able to live endlessly, but the most crucial thing is that the majority of party members regard loyalty to the party, sharing worries for the party, performing duties for the party, and benefiting the people as their fundamental political responsibilities, and always maintain the political nature of communists.
During the Long March, The Red Army soldier Liu Zhihai froze to death on the snowy mountain, and at the last moment of his life, he raised a hand from the snowdrift, clutched his party card and the last membership fee, a silver dollar, expecting the comrades who came up behind to pay the organization for himself.
During the Liberation War, Xibaipo sent a telegram "tick-tock" and commanded thousands of troops and horses to win thousands of victories. Comrade Zhou Enlai once said: "In our war room, if we do not fire guns, grain, and people, we will defeat the Kuomintang every day by sending telegrams to the front!" ”
Before the founding of New China, the party's underground organization in Chongqing was seriously damaged due to the betrayal of traitors. Despite the uncertainty of life and death, the arrested comrades secretly summed up and discussed the lessons learned in prison with their absolute loyalty to the party, and wrote down the "Eight Articles in Prison" with their lives and blood.
Loyalty to the Party is the primary political quality of Communists. It is precisely because of this kind of loyalty that tens of millions of party members have taken a clear stand in the face of major issues of right and wrong, taken a firm stand in the face of all kinds of temptations, and have no fear in the face of the tests of wind and waves, so that the whole party has been tempered into "a hard piece of steel."
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "If there is no loyalty to the party as a political 'needle in the sea', it is likely to lose in the face of various tests." "Looking back at the history of the Party over the past hundred years, countless revolutionary martyrs have thrown their heads and spilled their blood, but there are also some speculative revolutionaries and weak-willed people who have become disgraceful traitors. What is particularly deplorable is that the sacrifices of many outstanding Party members were caused by traitorous betrayal. Only by appreciating how painful these lessons are can we understand how important loyalty to the party is.
Loyalty to the Party is not abstract but concrete, not conditional but unconditional. For a hundred years, the sound of "comrades follow me" is so shocking! "Sacrificing everything for the party and the people" again and again is so sincere! The sentence "Success does not have to be in me", how selfless! It is precisely because they have their loyalty to the party in their hearts that countless Chinese communists do not bow their heads in the face of difficulties, do not shrink back in the face of hardships, do not slacken in the face of heavy responsibilities, and do not change their hearts, do not change their minds, and do not destroy their knots at any time and under any circumstances.
"Loyalty to the party and not to the people", the loyalty of Chinese communists stems from the requirements of discipline, but also because of the shaping of faith. Turning to the Constitution of the Communist Party of China – "The Party has no special interests of its own except the interests of the working class and the broadest masses of the people." The party always puts the interests of the masses first"; listen to General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech - "The Communist Party of China has always represented the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people, shared solidarity with the people, and is dependent on life and death, without any special interests of its own, and has never represented the interests of any interest group, any powerful group, or any privileged strata." ”
In China's history, from ancient times to the present, only the Chinese Communists have firmly believed from the bottom of their hearts that "Jiangshan is the people and the people are Jiangshan." In the magnificent practice of the past hundred years, they have clearly written "the interests of the people above all else" on their banners and turned "serving the people wholeheartedly" into the conscious actions of the vast number of party members. It is precisely because of this that "loyalty to the party" has the deepest value foundation and the most magnificent source of strength.
"I will live up to the people without myself." This is the true expression of the true feelings of the leaders of big parties and big countries, and it is also the eternal pursuit of Chinese communists. With the clear requirement that "a well-off person is not a well-off, the key is to look at his fellow countrymen," he has persevered in pushing forward the fight against poverty; with a resolute attitude of "being highly responsible to future generations," he has made contributions to building an ecological civilization for a long time; and with the fearless realm of "not offending corrupt elements, he will inevitably fail the party and offend the people," and has waged an unprecedented anti-corruption struggle... "Being loyal to the party and not living up to the people" has never been a slogan, but a belief in one's heart and an action at one's feet.
When the new crown pneumonia epidemic was at its most severe in China, the "Song of the Sun" sung to the party reverberated in the Jianghan Plain: "You are closest to me, you and I are the closest, leading me away in thorns, holding me in the wind and waves; I love you the deepest, I believe you are the truest, the fog calls you, the road is long and you pursue..."
There is a kind of loyalty, regardless of highs and lows, good times and adversities; there is a relationship, which has always been connected by blood and life and death.
(7) The Yangtze River and the Nine-Curved Yellow River have a source and are inexhaustible; thousands of miles rush and return to the river, and their strength is infinite.
On the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the Party, the Party Central Committee awarded the "July 1st Medal" for the first time. Among the winners are veterans of hundreds of wars, grassroots cadres, craftsmen of big countries, heroes of sand control, educators, scientific and technological workers, farmers and herdsmen who guard the border... General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "In them, they vividly embody the noble qualities and lofty spirit of the Chinese Communists who firmly believe, practice the purpose, work hard and dedicate, and are honest and honest in performing official duties. ”
Where history begins, spirit arises.
Over the past one hundred years, generations of Chinese Communists have enriched their lives with faith and hardened them into steel with their responsibilities, not only achieving a great cause, but also achieving "the most spiritually rich political party", and building a splendid and dazzling spiritual genealogy -- with the great spirit of party building as the source, the spirit of Jinggangshan, the spirit of the Soviet Union, the spirit of the Long March, the spirit of Yan'an, the spirit of the War of Resistance, the spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the spirit of the Corps, the spirit of Lei Feng, the spirit of Jiao Yulu, the spirit of Daqing, the spirit of "two bombs and one star", the spirit of the special zone, the spirit of women's volleyball teams, the spirit of flood resistance, and the fight against SARS "Spirit, the spirit of earthquake relief, the spirit of manned spaceflight, the spirit of labor model, the spirit of labor, the spirit of craftsmen, the spirit of scientists, the spirit of fighting the epidemic, the spirit of poverty alleviation... These precious spiritual wealth spans time and space and lasts for a long time, embodying the party's firm conviction, fundamental purpose, and fine work style, and embodying the great character of Chinese communists who work hard, sacrifice and dedication, and forge ahead in a pioneering spirit.
Here is the eternal illumination of the light of faith. Marxism, communism, and socialist beliefs are the lifeblood and soul of communists. Over the past one hundred years, it is precisely because the torch of revolution has been raised and the light of faith has been lit that we have created the loyalty of "not loving money, not being an official, and not being afraid of death", the perseverance of "being loyal to the heart and filling the two rooms", the fearlessness of "beheading does not matter, as long as the doctrine is true", and the awe-inspiring of "life is for China, death is for China". The great spirit of party building, casting rock-solid faith, unswerving faith, and indestructible confidence, has illuminated the struggle of the Chinese communists and become a prominent logo and unique advantage of a century-old party.
There is a continued inheritance of the red gene. From the spirit of Jinggangshan fed by "red rice pumpkin soup", we see the ideal and belief that "the spark of stars can burn the plains"; from the spirit of the Long March melted on the snowy mountains and meadows, we see the bravery and steadfastness of "the Red Army is not afraid of expeditions"; from the anti-epidemic spirit forged in the death-defying battle against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, we see the original intention and choice of "people first, life first"... From the seeker of the light on the red boat in the South Lake to the navigator of the world's second largest economy, it is precisely because the red gene that is integrated into the blood has been passed down from generation to generation that the Chinese Communist Party has the courage to charge forward, the ambition to change the world, and the confidence to win the future.
Here are heroic writings of heroic epics. The towering and steep Wolf's Tooth Mountain still remembers the tragic grandeur of jumping, the eerie and terrifying slag cave still remembers the belief of hand-embroidered red flags, the deserted Gobi Desert still remembers the dedication of deeply hidden meritorious names, the rejuvenated Wenchuan City still remembers the great righteousness of the eight parties to help, and the Jinyintan Hospital, which is racing for life and death, still remembers the insistence of never retreating... Over the past one hundred years, for the sake of national independence and the liberation of the people, for the sake of the country's prosperity and strength, and for the people's happiness, countless Chinese communists have regarded death as a homecoming, stubbornly struggled, and selflessly dedicated themselves, written their loyalty on the land of Shenzhou, integrated their lives into the mountains and rivers of the motherland, forged an indestructible steel backbone in the baptism of party spirit, and composed heroic songs of swallowing mountains and rivers in the process of sacrifice and dedication.
There is a national spirit here. From the traditional ideal of "Datong" to the firm belief in communism, from the choice of righteousness and profit of "sacrificing one's life for righteousness" to the heroic spirit of not fearing sacrifice, from the dedication of "letting go of the top of the heel" to the spirit of arduous struggle, from the idea of "the people as the foundation of the state" to the original intention of "not living up to the people"... The great spirit of party building is the inheritance and development of the spirit of the Chinese nation and the value integration of Marxism with China's excellent traditional culture. The spiritual genealogy of the Chinese Communists, which originated from the great spirit of party building, has turned over mountains and mountains to open up the road ahead, converging streams into rivers and seas, enriching the eternal river of Chinese history, broadening the spiritual channel of Chinese civilization, and illuminating the spiritual homeland of the Chinese nation.
The wind is fierce, the blue blood is dan heart; the lightning is thunderous, and the spirit is not extinguished. Only by putting the great spirit of party building into the great rivers of history, the nation, and the times can we discover what kind of weight this spirit has, what kind of value it contains, and what kind of future it nurtures.
I still remember that after the Opium War in 1840, with the gradual decline of national sovereignty, Chinese also fell into passivity mentally. "Silent China", "Silent Soul of the People", "Completely Stagnant Life", Mr. Lu Xun used such words to describe the depression, bitterness and wandering of the Chinese at that time.
Today's China is majestic and heroic in the east of the world; today's Chinese people, confident and high in the great era. At the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the party flag and national flag on Tiananmen Square echoed the red costumes in the north and south of the great river, highlighting the great pride of the sons and daughters of China. The Communist Party of China led the Chinese people not only to turn a poor and weak country into the world's second largest economy, but also to achieve a spiritual rejuvenation for a nation that was once ridiculed as the "sick man of East Asia"!
We have the confidence to comfort history and the ancestors: Today, there are not only high-rise buildings everywhere on the land of China, but also the edifice of the Chinese national spirit has stood majestically!
(viii) What is the hand of a Member of the Communist Party of China?
The plastered hands of Zhang Guimei, the winner of the "July 1st Medal", the rough and cracked hands of the three generations of foresters in Saihanba, the hands of the white-clad angels who marched backwards with thick gloves, and the lost hands of Du Fuguo, the "hero warrior of mine clearance"... Recently, a video titled "Hand in Hand, for the People" depicted thousands of Chinese Communist Party members seeking happiness for the people with their hands. With both hands, build a home with beautiful mountains and clear waters; with both hands, build a great wall to guard health; with both hands, create a miracle of getting rid of poverty...
It is these countless pairs of struggling hands and creative hands that, with the great relay of a century, have converged into an infinite force that shakes the earth and changes the world; it is these countless pairs of dedicated hands and selfless hands that make the highlight of the great spirit shine, radiating a brilliant light of clear jade and illuminating the thousand autumns.
The journey of the century, the waves are magnificent; the great deeds of the thousand autumns, the vast poems.
Today's world is experiencing major changes unprecedented in a century; today's China is in a critical period of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The two are intertwined, which means both unprecedented opportunities and unprecedented challenges. Grasping the historical initiative and enhancing our survivability, competitiveness, development and sustainability in all kinds of foreseeable and unforeseeable storms and storms, especially the tenacious will, especially the "strong spirit.".
"The original intention is easy to get, but it is always difficult to keep." For a century-old party that has created a great miracle in the world, how to prevent the mentality of inheriting peace for a long time and slacking off in the long-term ruling period? How to always maintain a state of prudence and eternal vigilance? How to maintain the posture of overcoming difficulties and fighting to the end?
If it can be said that the great spirit of party building was once embodied in the revolution of "destroying an old world," shining in the construction of "building a new world," and bursting out at the time of reform of "catching up with the times in great strides," then today's Chinese Communists need to carry forward the great spirit of party building on the "new road of catching up with examinations."
Let us draw the power of truth from the great spirit of party building. Today, the fate of Marxism has long been closely linked to the fate of the Communist Party of China, the fate of the Chinese people, and the fate of the Chinese nation; its scientific nature and truthfulness have been fully tested in China, its people's nature and practical nature have been fully implemented in China, and its openness and epochality have been fully displayed in China. Marxism has profoundly changed China, and China has greatly enriched Marxism, and Marxism in China in the 21st century is showing a stronger and more convincing force of truth. Striving for a new era, forging ahead into a new journey, and insisting on arming the mind, guiding practice, and promoting work with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we will be able to illuminate the way forward with the light of truth.
Let us draw the strength of practice from the great spirit of party building. "Everything in the world is done, and if you don't do it, there is no Marxism at all." The brilliant spiritual genealogy of the Chinese Communists all comes from the practice of revolution, construction, and reform, and all of them show the "power of action." Striving for a new era, forging ahead on a new journey, making overall plans for the "two overall situations," and having "the great power of the country" in mind, and marching toward the goal of comprehensively building a socialist modern power, we must take the initiative to take action in the unity of knowledge and action, carry forward the spirit of struggle, enhance the ability to struggle, roll up our sleeves and work harder, and move forward the more difficult and dangerous it is, so that the great spirit of party building will become the source of the spirit of nourishing the original intention of the whole party and undertaking the mission, and the source of motivation for inspiring the people to move forward unhindered by wind and rain and with courage.
Let us draw the strength of personality from the great spirit of party building. "Suffering is in the front, enjoyment is in the back", "regardless of gains and losses, willing to dedicate", "simple and pure, indifferent to fame and fortune"... With loyalty, dedication and sacrifice, generations of Chinese communists have shown the ambition, backbone and confidence of Chinese, so that the people can see the "light of rejuvenation" and let the world feel the "magic of the East". Striving for a new era and forging ahead on a new journey, always maintaining the heart of a pure son, being wise and virtuous, abiding by public morality, and strict private morality, strengthening ideals and convictions, strengthening the will to struggle, and strengthening perseverance and tenacity, can be seen in ordinary times, can stand up at critical moments, and be open-minded at critical moments, can the CPC always maintain a lasting centripetal force, and let the bright red party banner always condense a magnificent force.
Looking back, behind the great achievements and changes that have stood in the annals of history, there are many shocking spiritual pictures; forge ahead, always maintain "such a strong force, such a revolutionary enthusiasm, such a desperate spirit", we will continue to create the great historical time of the Chinese nation in the great time history of mankind!
History flows endlessly, and the spirit is passed on from generation to generation.
(IX) What truly belongs to history also belongs to the future.
In the mid-summer of 2021, in Beijing, the Exhibition Hall of the History of the Communist Party of China, the spiritual hall that showcases the century-old history of the Communist Party of China, stands majestically and magnificently. Facing the bright red party flag, General Secretary Xi Jinping raised his right fist and led the party members and leading comrades to relive the oath of joining the party. The sacred oath, through the extraordinary journey of a hundred years, inherits the great spiritual roots, and inspires all Communist Party members to sing triumphantly.
Today, the spiritual beacon of the Communist Party of China shines brightly on the waterway of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Shikumen on Xingye Road in Shanghai, Red Boat in Jiaxing South Lake, Octagonal Tower at the foot of Jinggang Mountain, Luding Bridge on Long March Road, Baota Mountain in Yan'an, Tiananmen Square in Beijing, the first oil well in Daqing Oilfield, the "two bombs and one star" scientific research base in the depths of the Gobi, Lotus Mountain in Shenzhen, flood resistance monument on the Jingjiang Embankment, Wenchuan New Town rebuilt after the earthquake, Eighteen Caves Village in Xiangxi With a new look... These geographical indications, which record the next historical moment, carry red memories and shine with the light of the times, and have long become the spiritual totem of the Chinese nation.
The mountain peaks stand tall, and the backbone is erected; the party is vigorous, and the spirit is exuberant.
On the occasion of the 28th anniversary of the founding of the party, the party Central Committee set off from Xibaipo to Beiping at that time, and Comrade Mao Zedong said: "How can we go to Beijing to 'catch up with the examination' and go in bad spirits?" ”
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party, embarking on the "new road of catching up with the examination", General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "We must continue to carry forward the glorious tradition, continue the red blood, and always inherit and carry forward the great spirit of party building!" ”
Take history as a mirror and create the future. On this road of catching up with the exam when it is only carried out and not completed, the torch of the spirit is passed on from generation to generation; the flame of the spirit is always upwards-
A party that knows its purpose and how to achieve it, a party that really wants to achieve it and has the tenacity necessary to achieve it — such a party will be invincible.
