On July 1, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued a call to all Chinese Communist Party members at the meeting to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, keeping in mind the original mission, strengthening ideals and beliefs, practicing the party's purpose, always maintaining flesh-and-blood ties with the people, always wanting to be with the people, working together, sharing weal and woe, continuing to make unremitting efforts to realize the people's yearning for a better life, and striving for greater glory for the party and the people! At present, the first centenary goal has been successfully completed, and we are moving toward the second centenary goal of comprehensively building a socialist modern power. On the new journey, we must focus even more on strengthening the building of the party's ideals and beliefs, strive to enhance the party spirit, enhance the party's cohesion, and cast the soul and cultivate people for the realization of the second centenary goal and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

To do a good job in educating on ideals and convictions, we must fully inherit and carry forward a series of great spirits formed in the course of the CPC's century-long struggle. In the course of a hundred years of struggle, our party has formed a series of great spirits, built up the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists, and provided an inexhaustible source of spiritual motivation for China's revolution, construction, and reform. It is precisely under the inspiration of these spirits that generation after generation of Chinese Communists have been unswerving, unremittingly struggling, and bravely forging ahead. These spirits are an important ideological source for clarifying the party's development context and reviewing the party's development course; among them, they shine with the brilliance of truth, marking that our party is constantly moving from one victory to another, is the crystallization of wisdom in the practice of the party and the people, and is the most precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation. Tempering party spirit is inseparable from the guidance of the spirit, and strengthening ideals and convictions is all the more necessary to draw valuable wisdom from this series of spirits, and constantly improve the spiritual genealogy that the CPC has built up in the course of its long-term struggle, add new contents to it in the party's practice, and create new forms, so that the party's spiritual genealogy will be more brilliant and brilliant in the development of the times.

To do a good job in the education of ideals and beliefs, we must take the system as the starting point and do a good job in the implementation and supervision of normalized education. Looking at the development process of the party, it can be said that education in ideals and beliefs runs through the whole process of the party's development and is an indispensable and important part of party building. On the one hand, it is necessary to constantly innovate the study system for party members, adjust the content of study accordingly according to the development of the times and the requirements of society, supervise and urge party members to abide by the study system, study according to requirements, continuously improve their ideological quality, and establish firm ideals and beliefs. It is necessary to carry out lectures and seminars in a timely manner, conduct research discussions and exchange of results, and test the results of learning. On the other hand, it is necessary to persist in combining centralized education with regular education, integrate education in ideals and convictions into the "three meetings and one lesson," the "two studies and one doing" study education, the education on the theme of "not forgetting the original intention and keeping firmly in mind the mission," and the party history study and education, so as to do a good job in the implementation and supervision of normalized study and education. At the same time, party members and cadres must also strictly abide by the study system, set an example first, be strict with themselves, formulate their own study plans, and study selectively and focusedly, so that their own development can better adapt to the changes of the current era. In short, the implementation of the education on ideals and beliefs not only requires the restraint and supervision of external factors, but more importantly, it is necessary to rely on the consciousness of the thoughts and actions of the party members and cadres themselves.

To do a good job in educating on ideals and convictions, it is necessary to regularly organize and carry out all kinds of grass-roots organizational activities. Receiving education in ideals and beliefs is one of the important contents of every party member's participation in the life of the organization, and it is also an important link for strengthening the ties between party members and party organizations. On the one hand, it is necessary to urge party members and cadres to take the initiative to look for shortcomings in development, find their own development defects, and consciously accept the influence of ideals and beliefs. At the same time, party members and cadres should strengthen their political stance, clarify their identity as party members, ensure that ideals and beliefs run through their own actions, and interpret their understanding of ideals and beliefs with words and deeds. It is necessary to continuously strengthen the theoretical, institutional, road, and cultural self-confidence of party members and cadres, and strengthen the confidence of party members and cadres in the victory of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and their determination to struggle hard for the cause of communism. On the other hand, party organizations should strengthen ties with each other, regularly carry out collective study activities, and organize special education activities in combination with the characteristics of work. It is necessary to take ideals and convictions as the link and the pursuit of values as the goal, so that the building of ideals and beliefs can be integrated into the daily work of party members. It is necessary to regularly carry out all kinds of grass-roots organizational activities, implement the specific content of ideals and beliefs into grass-roots practical activities, so that they can better guide the building of grass-roots party organizations and give better play to the role of grass-roots party organizations, so as to provide a realistic path for the improvement of the ideological quality of party members and cadres and the realization of the second centenary goal.

To examine the effectiveness of the education on the ideals and beliefs of party members, it is necessary to base itself on the specific work of realizing the goal of the second centenary struggle. The second centenary goal is a forward-looking and leap-forward strategic choice made by the Party Central Committee based on the overall situation of China's development. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be separated from the unremitting efforts of countless communists who are supported by firm ideals and convictions. Therefore, party members and cadres should strictly implement the requirements of the second centenary goal into their daily work, always bear in mind the core essence of the centenary goal, and let ideals and beliefs become things that party members can "see" and "touch.", and what has been done and what has not been done well, we must clearly explain these contents. We should use the achievements made to inspire people's fighting spirit and the current difficulties to arouse the fighting spirit of Party members, so as to encourage the vast number of Communist Party members to actively implement the requirements of the Party's second centenary goal and unite their efforts to build a socialist modern power.
