"the cpc central committee has decided to launch education in the history of the cpc throughout the party this year to encourage the whole party to stay true to its original aspiration, keep its mission firmly in mind, and continuously strengthen party building in the new era." it is wise to study history, and wise to learn from the past. this year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the communist party of china. the past 100 years is only a fraction of a second in the long history of mankind. but for the communist party of china, the chinese people and the chinese nation, it has been a century in which we have stayed true to our founding aspiration, kept our mission firmly in mind, continued to work hard and forge ahead. it has been a century of tremendous, magnificent, profound changes and changes.
looking back on the century-long journey in which the cpc led the chinese people to strive for national independence, liberation, national prosperity and people's happiness, it contains profound historical enlightenment and has accumulated extremely valuable historical experience. first, we have always adhered to the guiding position of marxism, applied marxism in a scientific way, gained a deep understanding of china's national conditions, correctly judged the characteristics of the times, and explored and formed the right path suited to our own characteristics. second, we must always adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, do everything for the people, rely on the people, and maintain close ties with them. third, we must always adhere to the principle that the party should supervise its own conduct and govern itself with strict discipline, maintain political consciousness of self-purification, self-improvement, self-renewal, and self-improvement, and work tirelessly to strengthen the party's self-building.
the history of the past hundred years has been magnificent, and the century is just in its prime. in the long journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation, the communist party of china should continue to lead the people in carrying out great struggles with many new historical features and advancing the great new project of party building. the tasks are arduous and complex, and the missions are sacred and noble. we should draw wisdom and nourishment from history to make our party stronger and more powerful.
strengthen political awareness and grasp the overall political situation. political direction is the primary issue for the survival and development of a political party. to stand unequivocally in politics is the fundamental requirement of our party as a marxist political party. the great ideal of communism, the common ideal of socialism with chinese characteristics, the two centenary goals, and the party's basic theory, line, and policy are the political orientation we must adhere to. all party members, especially leading officials, should be good at observing and handling problems from a political perspective, incorporate political demands into their daily work and life, and turn them into conscious actions. we will continue to improve our political judgment, understanding and execution. we should give top priority to national political security, put the people first, and uphold and develop socialism with chinese characteristics. we should be clear-headed, clear-eyed and clear-sighted in the face of major rights and errors. we need to fully reflect the plans and requirements of the cpc central committee, firmly uphold the principle that the country is the greatest, and tirelessly equip ourselves with xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era, guide our practice, and advance our work. we should strengthen the "four consciousness", "four confidence", and "two maintenances". we should adhere to the bottom-line thinking and problem-oriented approach, strengthen our sense of responsibility, and faithfully implement the principles of the cpc central committee.
we will always bear in mind our mission and always care for the people. the communists' original aspiration comes from their simple affection for the people. the mission of communists is to seek happiness for the chinese people and rejuvenation for the chinese nation. our party is a more than 9000 party members, more than 460 grass-roots party organization of the party, is a population of 1.4 billion the power of the ruling party for a long time, to continue advancing the great cause, must adhere to the people, the people first, the people's yearning for a better life as a pursuit of the goal, always maintain the party's flesh-and-blood contacts with the people. we must respect the initiative of the people and continue to draw from them new experience and creativity in advancing reform and development. should always stick to the people, from the employment, education, health, social security, housing, pension, food security, ecological environment, social security and other people concerned about issues, which can reflect the strong, take out the hard unreal, and solve, seriously trying to get the people to share real feeling, happiness and security.
carry forward the spirit of struggle and lead the development of the cause. after completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieving the first centenary goal, china will enter a new stage of development. all communists should have a correct understanding of the new features of this new stage of development, accurately assess the opportunities and challenges facing china's development, be modest and prudent, work hard, seize the moment, and forge ahead toward the set goals. to complete and accurate, comprehensive implementation of new development concept, to further solve the people most concerned about the interests of the most direct and realistic problems, adhere to the problem oriented, effectively solve the problem of inadequate good unbalanced development, realize high quality development, to create high quality life, suffering consciousness, insist on the bottom line of thinking, ready to deal with more complex difficult situation. we will speed up the building of a new pattern of development in which domestic cycles are the mainstay and domestic and international cycles reinforce each other. we will deepen supply-side structural reform and optimize and upgrade the industrial structure. we will strengthen china's strategic scientific and technological capabilities, and move faster to make key and core technologies independent and controllable. we will unleash the potential of domestic demand, expand household consumption and raise the level of consumption. we will open up to the outside world at a high standard, enhance our ability and advantages to participate in international cooperation and competition, and win sustained, equal and reliable cooperation from the international community.
