What kind of power sows fire in the dark night, and raises the torch in the wind and rain?

What kind of spirit leads the Chinese nation through suffering and creates brilliance?

The struggles of the mighty mountains and rivers, the miracles of one after another in the annals of history, mark the height of the spirit of a political party.

General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "The socialist modern power we want to build must not only be strong in material, but also strong in spirit. Spiritually strong is more lasting, deeper and more powerful. ”

A hundred years of wind and rain have forged the unique red temperament of Chinese communists.

(1) Shine in the smoke and clouds of history, leading us from the desperate place to the new life

"There are those who cannot be full all day long, and there are also those who eat part-time, and the hunger is unbearable, so they sneak into the alleys and often go to the garbage heap to pick up the rotten fish and stinky meat discarded by others..."

A hundred years ago, The China written by Chen Tanqiu, a major representative of the Communist Party of China, had a weak national fortune and suffered great hardships.

Where is the road?

Countless benevolent people and heroes embraced the ideal of saving the country, but they hit their heads and broke their blood on one road after another, and "all the roads in the mountains and rivers are impossible to go."

In the midst of the storm, the advanced and unyielding people chose Marxism.

A hundred years later, Chen Tanqiu's eldest son, Chen Hu, wrote a "letter to his father" in his old age: "Now the mountains and rivers are still there, the country is safe and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they are thriving. This is a prosperous world, as you wish. ”

Why is the fire of faith burning?

In the inaugural manifesto of the Xiangjiang Review, Mao Zedong, in his 20s, shouted: "What is the biggest problem in the world?" Eating is the biggest problem. What is the strongest force? The power of popular unity is the strongest. ”

Like the "searchlight" that clearly sees the puzzle, the "scalpel" that dissects the chronic disease, the belief in communism begins to burst out with incomparably powerful spiritual strength.

Why is the backbone of the nation standing?

"In order to choose the truth, we should go back; for the sake of the nation, we should go back; in order to serve the people, we should go back... Strive for the construction and development of our great motherland! ”

In February 1950, Hua Luogeng wrote an open letter to all Chinese students studying in the United States on his way back to China. More than 1,000 students studying in the United States braved hardships and dangers to run to New China.

They believe that as long as we rely on the strong spiritual character of the Chinese Communist Party, our country can weather the storm and move forward with great enthusiasm.

Why is the great spirit alive?

In the course of a hundred years of journey, the tests we have faced have never stopped, but the Communist Party of China has always maintained its vitality.

This spiritual temperament is firmly rooted in the land of China and has been living endlessly in the continuous struggle of generations of communists.

It was Fang Zhimin, who was in prison and wrote "Lovely China": "I believe that by then, there will be active creations everywhere, and rapid progress everywhere";

That is Jiao Yulu, rather break the top of the rattan chair and integrate life into the vow of "life is also sand dunes, death is also sand dunes";

It was Wang Shunyou, a man and a horse, who insisted on the postal route for 32 years alone, with faith and never gave up, who was kicked by a horse and broke his intestines, and also had to bite his teeth to deliver the mail to the villagers...

The unswerving initial heart condenses thousands of fiery hearts.

More than 2,600 pictures and more than 3,500 sets of cultural relics reflect the great course of the unremitting struggle of the Communist Party of China in the newly completed exhibition hall of the history of the Communist Party of China.

From Jiaxing South Lake to Jiangxi Ruijin, from Guizhou Zunyi to Yan'an in northern Shaanxi, from Shikumen to Tiananmen... Monuments, memorials, and martyrs' tombs record the tenacious strength of a political party that sacrificed its life for the nation and the people.

"The stone is there, and the fire will not be extinguished."

The fire of the spirit is the inheritance of the faith of communists over the past hundred years and the source of our strength to forge ahead courageously.

(2) Forge ahead from the great creation and lead us from suffering to glory

On March 26, 2019, the car traveled about 25,000 kilometers through the village for a full year... This is the "Long March in My Heart".

After graduating from graduate school in Beijing, Huang Wenxiu, who resolutely returned to her hometown of Baise to help the poor in the village, once told her poverty alleviation path in the circle of friends.

"The road to poverty alleviation is only a way forward and no retreat, as long as it is determined, there is no remorse."

The flash flood took away her young life, but it could not take away the figure of her running for the villagers. Drilling trees, climbing mud slopes, wading into large waters; passing tun roads, reservoirs, building street lights... The "map of people's feelings" in the poverty alleviation diary is the most beautiful commemorative book of her youth.

In 8 years, nearly 100 million people have been lifted out of poverty, and no country in the world can do so in such a short period of time; absolute poverty for thousands of years has been historically solved in the hands of our generation.

The great initiative that stirred people's hearts erected a new spiritual monument.

Looking back, since its birth, the Communist Party of China has been writing the people on the banner, integrating it into the blood, and carving it into the temperament.

"The Communists didn't use any magic, they just knew what the people wanted." More than 70 years ago, American journalists Bai Xiude and Jia Anna gave testimonials in the book "China's Thunder".

History is never isolated. Touching the red mark engraved in the heart, we are more aware of the temperament code of the Chinese Communist Party.

——How many difficulties and dangers must be overcome to see the raging fire? Devotion to the truth, full of suffering and splendor.

The Long March, an "unparalleled epic expedition."

Crossing the line of fire, crossing the mighty rivers, climbing more than 20 snow-capped mountains above 4,000 meters above sea level, and unbelievably crossing the "Dead Meadows"...

Foreign scholars often ask when studying China's modern history: What incredible force has made them ignore life and death and follow the red flag all the way?

The power of the ship is on the sail, and the power of man is in the heart.

This is a great expedition to awaken the masses, a victory for the ideals and convictions of the Chinese Communists, and a victory for sharing the sufferings of the people and fighting for the people.

In November 1934, three female Red Army soldiers passing through Shazhou Village in Rucheng County, Hunan Province, stayed at Xu Xiexiu's home. Before leaving, afraid that Xu Xiexiu's mother and son would be difficult to survive in the cold winter, they cut their only bed of quilts in half and left half of them in the village.

What is the Communist Party? The Communist Party is the one who has a quilt of its own and has to cut off half of it for the common people.

——On the arduous journey, what kind of backbone must be erected in order to exchange for the sun, moon and new sky? Striving for ideals, full of twists and turns and victories.

Hands, steel brazes, hammers, explosives, 10 years of cold and summer, a jaw-dropping "artificial river of heaven", across the cliffs.

The hero's Red Flag Canal - leveling 1250 hills, drilling through 211 tunnels, and building 1500 kilometers of life canals...

An endless spiritual bond connects China's yesterday and today.

Trees, in Saihan Dam, are the most common things, and they have also been the rarest things.

Three generations, 55 years, in the desert sand of "yellow sand shades the sky, birds have no perch trees", the saihanba people heeded the party's call and vowed to turn the desert into an oasis.

The "seed" is accompanied by "a tree" and grows into "a sea".

—— In times of crisis, what kind of loyalty must be possessed to be worthy of life and death? Fighting for the people is full of pay and gain.

"Who's going first?" "I'll go first!"

In the summer of 1998, massive floods ravaged half of China. At the critical juncture of a thousand guns, the Yangtze River embankment is full of such a loud answer!

More than 360,000 troops, more than 8 million cadres and masses, a cadre of 30 meters, and a party member of 10 meters have jointly composed a "war map" that moves the world and the earth.

A hundred years of glory, the original intention is the same.

The spirit of Jinggangshan, the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite", the spirit of earthquake relief, the spirit of anti-epidemic... Coming from the windy and rainy South Lake, the course of a hundred years of struggle has formed a spiritual monument of the Communist Party of China.

(3) Blooming on the journey of rejuvenation, leading us from victory to new victory

Even from the most demanding lens, the number of COVID-19 vaccinations in China is staggering: 1 billion doses – a scale and speed greater than any other country in the world.

In the face of the sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia, the Party Central Committee has taken charge of the overall situation, made decisive decisions, and responded to extraordinary events with extraordinary measures, the people of the whole country have joined hands in the same boat and united as one to build a solid defense line for epidemic prevention and control, and the vast number of medical personnel have gone out in white and marched backwards, sacrificing their lives and forgetting death to save lives, and finally achieved major strategic results in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

"Life is supreme, the whole country is united, life is forgotten, science is respected, and destiny is shared", and the great anti-epidemic spirit has been cast in the arduous anti-epidemic struggle.

Because of steadfastness, so brave - this is the spiritual strength of a century-old party to overcome difficulties and obstacles, and not to be afraid of risks and challenges!

On New Year's Day 1921, Changsha, Hunan Province, was covered in snow. In the face of great historical changes, Mao Zedong led the members of the Xinmin Society to determine "transforming China and the world" as the common purpose of the Society.

In the summer solstice of 2021, the shores of the unnamed lake are full of life. In the face of unprecedented changes in a century, General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote back to the students of Peking University: "You mentioned that the Communist Party of China is committed to economic development, poverty eradication, and active assistance to other countries in fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic. The Communist Party of China does these things because the Communist Party of China is a political party that seeks happiness for the Chinese and the people, and it is also a political party that strives for the cause of promoting human progress. ”

Because of bravery, so hard work - this is the spiritual strength of a century-old party leading the people to embark on a new road of modernization!

Wang Qimin, known as the "new iron man", once "preferred to work hard" for the stable and high yield of the Daqing oil field.

In his 80s, he is still full of pride: "We must have the 'fight' of iron people, the 'stupidity' of 'ten years of grinding a sword', and the 'wisdom' of learning from innovation." ”

A super-large-scale market with a population of more than 1.4 billion, a gross domestic product of 100 billion yuan... The dream of a great power in the East is achieving a historic leap forward, and the spirit of struggle is advancing with the times.

Because of hard work, self-improvement - this is the spiritual strength of an ancient nation that has crossed the long river of history and is still alive and well!

On June 17, 2021, at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the Long March rocket flame rose, and the Shenzhou spacecraft flew into the sky again, Chinese entered its own space station for the first time!

"taikonaut (Chinese astronaut)" – an English word that caught fire, Chinese has its own exclusive term in space.

From "two bombs and one satellite" to "manned spaceflight", from "Beidou networking" to "lunar exploration and fire", the millennium flying dream has been written in the new era.

Today's China is at the historical intersection of the "two hundred years" goal. The boat to the middle of the river is more urgent, and the road to the middle of the mountain is steeper.

The more difficult the struggle, the greater the spirit.

From a red leaf ship to a Shenzhou spaceship, from a snowy mountain meadow to a sea of stars, the great spiritual torch is passed from generation to generation. (Reporters Chen Fang, Yuan Ruting, Dong Ruifeng, Liu Min, Ling Junhui, Hu Zhe)
