This lecture is also the second special academic report held by doctoral students in the "Chinese Marxism and Contemporary" course this semester. More than 200 people, including all doctoral students in the 2022 class of w88 casino and some teachers and students from the w88 casino of Marxism, attended the lecture. The lecture was hosted by Professor Tong Jin of the w88 casino of Marxism.

First of all, Professor Pu Guoliang said"Why is world socialism 500 years old" as the starting point, it combs the historical context of the emergence and development of socialist ideological trends in detail. Professor Pu introduced the life story of Thomas More through the translation of the word "Utopia", and particularly emphasized why his publication of "Utopia" in 1516 is considered a symbol of the birth of modern socialist thought. During the period of primitive capital accumulation in the 16th and 17th centuries, there was the emerging struggle of the proletarians against the early bourgeoisie, and its theoretical manifestation was the early utopian thought represented by More. After the 18th century, as the capitalist mode of production further expanded around the world, the exploitation of workers by capitalists increased to an unprecedented degree. Against this background, there emerged in Europe three great utopian socialists who were called “the founders of socialism” by Marx and Engels: Saint-Simon, Fourier and Owen. In the 1830s, the working class entered the historical stage as an independent force, but utopian socialism could no longer provide them with scientific theoretical guidance. Marx and Engels completed the sublation and transcendence of utopian socialism on the basis of critically inheriting utopian socialism, and promoted the transformation of socialism from utopia to science. The publication of the "Communist Manifesto" marked the birth of scientific socialism and also heralded the entry of socialism into a new stage.

Secondly, Professor Pu briefly reviewed the birth, development and evolution of the socialist trend of thought.With the sound of the "October Revolution", Lenin led an armed uprising, overthrew the bourgeois provisional government and established the Soviet socialist regime. After the Second World War, the socialist camp continued to grow and the cause of socialist construction made brilliant achievements. Professor Pu emphasized that when studying the history of the international communist movement, we cannot ignore the exploration of the theory and practice of socialism in other countries by communist parties in other countries. In developed European capitalist countries, the socialist parties have transformed their own political, economic and cultural systems in accordance with their democratic socialist concepts and have achieved considerable success. Although the drastic changes between the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe caused the international communist movement to suffer unprecedented setbacks, it did not change the general trend of the world socialist movement. The Chinese Communists, who have withstood the test of history in the face of setbacks, have combined the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and China's excellent traditional culture, and have blazed a path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, injected new vitality into the development of world socialism in the 21st century, and raised high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the world.

Finally, Professor Pu Guoliang combined his long-term academic research and focused on the four dimensions of the new highlights of the international communist movement, the new model of world socialism, the new exploration of the road to world modernization, and the new fulcrum of the progress of human civilization.Analysis of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era from the perspective of 500 years of history. The “Chinese Dream” that socialism with Chinese characteristics strives for is neither the utopia imagined by More and others, nor the harmonious new village designed by Owen and others. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is not only different from the Soviet model from which it emerged, but also different from various democratic socialist or social democratic models and various national socialisms in the world today. It is a living practice deeply rooted in the land of China. It is a thoroughly Sinicized Marxism. It provides a new choice for countries and nations in the world who want to accelerate development while maintaining their own independence. It has contributed Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to solve human problems.

Professor Pu’s wonderful lecture won endless applause from teachers and students. After the lecture, the host, Mr. Tong Jin, expressed his gratitude to Professor Pu Guoliang for his special contribution to the University of International w88I would like to express my gratitude again to the 2022 doctoral students for giving such a wonderful academic lecture and comment on this lecture. Teacher Tong said that Professor Pu not only shared his research experience with the teachers and students present and conveyed the latest cutting-edge results in the field of scientific socialism, but also further deepened the understanding of the USTC teachers and students about the development process of world socialism and the new vitality that socialism with Chinese characteristics has brought to the world socialist movement through eloquent and simple explanations. After the lecture, Professor Pu Guoliang had a cordial exchange with some students on related academic issues.
