General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Our party is determined to be committed to the great cause of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and is committed to the noble cause of peace and development of mankind. The responsibility is extremely heavy and the mission is extremely glorious."
In 2019, archaeologists touched a solid hard-faced iron plate during exploration in Weihai Bay. After identification, these wreckage from more than 100 years ago, "Dingyuan" battleship.
In 1885, the battleship "Dingyuan" manufactured by the German shipyard entered the Beiyang Navy. Only ten years later, the steel behemoth, which was nearly 100 meters long and known as "the first giant ship in Asia", sank in the smoke of the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, adding a heavy stroke to the national humiliation book of modern China.
Since modern times, the country has been humiliated, the people have been suffering, and civilization has been dusted. For the sake of national independence and national prosperity, countless people with lofty ideals have tried hard and made various attempts, but all of them ended in failure.
The Communist Party of China came into being at the time of the storm and the national peril. This is an epoch-making event. The important task of exploring the road of China's modernization has historically fallen on the Communist Party of China.
In the ravines of Yan'an, the Communist Party of China resolutely carried out the struggle against Japanese militarist aggression on the one hand, and outlined a grand blueprint for Chinese-style modernization on the other. As early as 1938, in a conversation with the delegation of the World Federation of Students, Comrade Mao Zedong imagined the new China to be established after the victory of the war of resistance: "This is China's modern country, and China needs such a country very much. With such a country, China left its semi-colonial and semi-feudal status and became a free and equal country, leaving the old China and becoming a new China." Under the leadership of the party, we have won the victory of the new democratic revolution and created fundamental social conditions for the realization of China's modernization.
The founding of New China completely changed the tragic fate of China's poverty, weakness and bullying for more than 100 years after modern times, and the Chinese nation embarked on a magnificent road to great rejuvenation.
In 1958, Changchun FAW Manufacturing Factory manufactured China's first domestic car-Dongfeng brand car. Although its craftsmanship is relatively backward, the manufacturing of the entire car body and the processing of various sheet metal parts are almost entirely dependent on the workers using manual craftsmanship to hammer the shape, but when the masses saw this car, they still couldn't hide it. The excitement in the heart. Because it embodies the heroic spirit of the Chinese people who dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky. The socialist revolution and construction have made original theoretical achievements and great achievements, laying the fundamental political premise and valuable experience, theoretical preparation and material foundation for the modernization drive.
"The road is blue and the forest is opened to the mountains." After realizing the great turning point and embarking on the great journey of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, the Chinese people further burst out the spiritual strength of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, and made great strides to catch up with the times. Comrade Deng Xiaoping drew a grand blueprint for the "three-step" development strategy based on China's actual conditions. The great achievements in the new period of reform and opening up and socialist construction have provided the institutional guarantee full of new vitality and the material conditions for rapid development of Chinese-style modernization.
After innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization. In the ten years of great changes in the new era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has united and led the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to overcome many long-term unsolved problems, and accomplished many long-term major and important things. The socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics has won the largest fight against poverty in human history, completed the historical task of building a well-off society in all respects, and achieved the first centenary goal, it has written a new chapter in the two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, constantly enriched and developed new forms of human civilization, and promoted the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into an irreversible historical process. Chinese-style modernization provides a new choice for mankind to realize modernization.
On September 17, 2020, the wreckage of the 18.7-ton battleship Dingyuan surfaced and reappeared. After sleeping on the dark bottom of the sea for 125 years, I can finally see today's China: Liaoning, Shandong and Fujian ships protect the sea and border. Yun 20, J 20 and Zhi 20 are flying proudly in the blue sky of the motherland. The road network is densely distributed, the high-speed rail is speeding up, and the speed of flow has never been faster. Everywhere there is a moving scenery of urban and rural beauty and social harmony.
The history of more than one hundred years tells us that the achievements of Chinese-style modernization are not easy to come. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Our party is determined to be committed to the great cause of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and is committed to the noble cause of peace and development of mankind. The responsibility is extremely heavy and the mission is extremely glorious." History and practice have proved that Chinese-style modernization is the result of continuous exploration, creation, promotion and expansion of several generations of Chinese Communists, and is the only way to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Only by adhering to the Chinese-style modernization road can the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation be realized.
