It is the solemn historical responsibility of the contemporary CPC people to open up a new realm of sinicization and modernization of Marxism.
Persist in and make good use of the "two combinations" and the "six must be adhered to"
Thought is power.The October Revolution brought Marxism Leninism to China with the sound of a cannon. Having the guidance of Marxist scientific theory is the fundamental basis for our party to firmly believe in and grasp historical initiative, enabling us to lead the people to accomplish arduous tasks that other political forces in China cannot accomplish.
The history of more than one hundred years of the CPC is a history of constantly promoting theoretical innovation and creating theories, as well as a history of constantly guiding the development of the cause of the Party and the people with the Party's innovative theory.It is under the guidance of scientific theory that our Party has led the people to achieve significant achievements in various historical periods of revolution, construction, and reform, and has entered an irreversible historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Practice has no end, and theoretical innovation has no end. In the face of the profound and complex changes in the domestic and international situation on the new journey and the new requirements put forward by the practice of Chinese path to modernization, the task of promoting the modernization of Marxism in China is not light, but heavier. We should adhere to and make good use of the "two combinations" and "six must adhere to", continue to promote theoretical innovation based on practice, and provide scientific guidance for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization.
Stick to your soul and roots
Theoretical innovation must speak new words, but we cannot lose our ancestors. We must adhere to upholding integrity and innovation. To uphold integrity, we must unwaveringly adhere to Marxism as the foundation of building the Party and the country, and uphold the excellent traditional Chinese culture without interruption; To innovate, we must adhere to using the "arrow" of Marxism to shoot at the "new era of China", continue to promote the "two combinations", continuously endow Marxism with new vitality, and also keep up with the times and innovate the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
Rooting Marxism in China is a choice of history and the people, as well as a choice of culture and civilization. The excellent traditional Chinese culture has a high degree of compatibility with the values of scientific socialism, which has enabled Marxism, originally born in Europe, to take root, bloom, and produce fruitful results in the vast land of China thousands of miles away. It is necessary to further find the joint point of integration, connect the essence of Marxism with the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and make it become the great advantage of our party's theoretical innovation. We must adhere to the development of Marxism rooted in our own country and the fertile soil of our national history and culture, inject the great spirit and rich wisdom of the Chinese nation into Marxism, and present Marxism with more distinctive Chinese characteristics, style, and atmosphere. We must adhere to the guidance of Marxism to comprehensively explore and elucidate the treasure trove of excellent traditional Chinese culture, activate the vitality of excellent factors in Chinese excellent traditional culture with Marxism, and endow it with new era connotations, promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture.
In the process of establishing their own theoretical system, Marx and Engels extensively absorbed and borrowed the achievements created by predecessors, especially criticizing and inheriting German classical philosophy, British classical political economy, and French utopian socialism. On the new era and new journey, we must broaden our theoretical perspective, learn from and draw on all outstanding achievements of human civilization with an open mind that embraces all rivers, embrace all strengths, and draw on excellent ideological and cultural resources from the sum of human knowledge to innovate and develop the theory of the Party.
Timely and scientific answers to new issues of the times
The era is the mother of thought, and practice is the source of theory.
At present, the world is undergoing an unprecedented great transformation, and the world, times, and history are unfolding in unprecedented ways. Human society is facing many common problems that urgently need to be solved. China is currently in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, facing new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements, and new strategic environments for development. The risks and challenges that need to be addressed, as well as the contradictions and problems that need to be solved, are more complex than before. The new questions posed by China, the world, the people, and the times are more complex and difficult than in the past, and we urgently need to submit answers from the combination of theory and practice. We must continuously promote the theoretical innovation of the Party in combination with new practices, and guide the developing practice with developing theories.
We should firmly establish a grand view of history, grasp the development context and correct trend of world history with a broader vision and a longer perspective, recognize the grand logical trend of China's social development and human social development, and thoroughly study the major strategic issues in the development of the Party and the people's cause that are of long-term, overall and fundamental importance, especially focusing on major issues such as promoting Chinese path to modernization, promoting high-quality development, building a new development pattern, and promoting the Party's self revolution, and comprehensively and systematically propose scientific ideas and effective countermeasures to solve practical problems.
Promote the systematization and rationalization of theory
We should focus on studying and interpreting the theoretical achievements of the principles involved, grasp the internal connections between them, and use categories, concepts, discourse, and expressions with Chinese characteristics to clearly explain the principles, theories, and philosophies contained in this important ideology. This will promote the further systematization and rationalization of the Party's innovative theory, help cadres and the masses deeply understand and firmly grasp the scientific system of the Party's innovative theory, and enable the Party's innovative theory to "fly into the homes of ordinary people.".
Emphasize drawing theoretical innovation wisdom from the creativity of the people
The Marxist materialist view of history holds that the people, as creators of history, are not only creators of material wealth, but also creators of spiritual wealth. For over a hundred years, the achievements of our party in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism have all been the crystallization of the practical experience and collective wisdom of the party and the people, originating from the wisdom, exploration, and creation of the people. The creative practice of the people is an inexhaustible source of Marxist theoretical innovation, and continuing to promote the Party's theoretical innovation must always focus on the practical creation of the people.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have deeply implemented the development concept of putting the people at the center. We have made continuous efforts to provide education for young children, education for learning, income for labor, medical care for illness, care for the elderly, housing for the weak, and assistance for the weak, and have comprehensively improved people's lives. The vast majority of the people feel firsthand that the Party's innovative theory comes from the people, is for the people, and benefits the people. They love, identify with, and accept this scientific theory from the bottom of their hearts. This is a solid foundation for the Party's innovative theory to demonstrate its magnificent practical power.
Adhering to the position of the people as the mainstay, doing everything for the people, relying on the people, and coming from and going to the masses, has always been the strong foundation for our Party to stand invincible. To continue promoting the theoretical innovation of the Party, it is necessary to follow the Party's mass line in the new era. We must stand firm in the people's position, grasp their wishes, respect their creativity, and concentrate their wisdom. We should focus on summarizing fresh experiences from their creative practices, elevate them to rational understanding, and extract new theoretical achievements. We should strive to make the Party's innovative theories deeply rooted in the hearts of millions of people, becoming theories that are grounded, gather people's wisdom, conform to public opinion, and win the hearts of the people.
