During the era of the Red Army's Long March, China was in a dark state of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, with social crises lurking everywhere and the Japanese invaders brutally invading the country. The Kuomintang reactionaries ignored the national danger and launched continuous large-scale attacks on the revolutionary base areas“Encirclement and Suppression”, the Chinese Communist Party and the Red Army have reached a critical juncture, the Chinese revolution has reached a critical juncture, and the Chinese nation has reached a critical juncture.

Facing the severe test of life and death, from1934Year10Month Solstice1936Year10In August, the First, Second, Fourth Front Army and the 25th Army of the Red Army conducted the great Long March.Our party led the Red Army, with extraordinary wisdom and fearless heroism, overcame numerous difficulties and dangers, made huge sacrifices, and successfully completed the Long March that shocked the world and shined in the annals of history, declaring the complete failure of the Kuomintang reactionaries’ plot to eliminate the Communist Party of China and the Red Army. , announced that the Communist Party of China and the Red Army had shouldered the national hope and successfully realized the strategic shift to go north to fight against Japan, achieved a great turning point for the Communist Party of China and the Chinese revolutionary cause from setbacks to victory, and opened a new great march for the Communist Party of China to fight for national independence and people's liberation.

Revolutionaries pay high respect to the Red Army commanders and fighters who fought bloody battles in the Long March and persisted in revolutionary struggles in various places, to the people of all ethnic groups who supported the Red Army's Long March, especially the people in the revolutionary base areas, and to all living Red Army veterans!

I propose that we all stand up and observe a moment of silence for the revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives heroically during the Long March and in revolutionary struggles everywhere!

Comrades!Through the vicissitudes of history, looking back8011428_11496

The Long March is a great expedition of ideals and beliefs.Noble ideals and firm beliefs will always be the political soul of Chinese Communists. Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has established communism as its lofty ideal and has always united and led the Chinese people towards this great ideal. The Party and the Red Army have continued to rise after several setbacks, and have been tempered into steel through hardships. In the final analysis, the lofty ideals and revolutionary beliefs in their hearts have always been firm and persistent, and they have always shined with fiery light.

During the Long March, the heroic Red Army fought bloody battles on the Xiangjiang River, crossed the Chishui River four times, skillfully crossed the Jinsha River, forcibly crossed the Dadu River, captured the Luding Bridge, fought fiercely at Dushu Town, and bravely conquered the Bao River. He moved to Wumeng Mountain, fought back millions of vicious pursuers and blocked the enemy, conquered the icebergs and snowy ridges with thin air, crossed the uninhabited swamps and grasslands, traversed more than ten provinces, and drove 25,000 miles. After the Long March of the main Red Army, the Red Army troops and guerrillas who stayed in the base areas relied closely on the people and persisted in guerrilla warfare under extremely difficult conditions. The Red Army in the northwest region established the Shaanxi-Gansu Revolutionary Base, and together with the 25th Red Army that arrived in northern Shaanxi earlier, broke through the enemy's heavy troops“Encirclement and Suppression”, creating conditions for the Party Central Committee to place the headquarters of the Chinese revolution in the northwest. The Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, party organizations that persisted in working in the Kuomintang-ruled areas, and all forces led by the party all fought arduously and made indelible contributions to the victory of the Long March.

The victory of the Long March is the victory of the ideals and beliefs of the Chinese Communists.“The wind and rain soak the clothes and the bones become harder, and the wild vegetables satisfy the hunger and the will becomes stronger;Officers and soldiers share joys and sorrows, and their revolutionary ideals are higher than heaven.”On the stormy Long March, lofty ideals and firm beliefs inspired and guided the Red Army forward. During the 25,000-mile journey of the Red Front Army, an average of300One Red Army soldier died every meter. The red ribbon of the Long March was dyed with the blood of countless Red Army soldiers. Hardships can destroy a person's body, and death can take away a person's life, but no force can shake the ideals and beliefs of the Chinese Communists.

The victory of the Long March relied on the heroism and revolutionary spirit of the Red Army soldiers to overwhelm all enemies without being overwhelmed by any enemy, and to conquer all difficulties without being overcome by any difficulties.The Long March solemnly declared to all China and the world that the Communist Party of China and the people’s army led by it are armed with Marxism and have communism as their lofty ideal and firm belief. The suffering, twists and turns, and death on the Long March tested the ideals and beliefs of the Chinese Communists and proved to the world that the ideals and beliefs of the Chinese Communists are indestructible.

The Long March is a great expedition to test the truth.Truth can only be tested in practice, and truth can only be established in practice. During the Long March, the Red Army faced ferocious and brutal pursuit and resistance, a harsh and harsh natural environment, and a fierce struggle against erroneous ideas within the party. After the Long March, the party and the Red Army were not weaker, but stronger, because our party found the correct path of the Chinese revolution and the correct theory to guide this path.

During the Long March, the Zunyi Conference held by the Party Central Committee was a life-or-death turning point in the history of our party. This meeting established Comrade Mao Zedong’s leadership position in the Red Army and the Party Central Committee, began to establish the leadership position of the Marxist correct line with Comrade Mao Zedong as the main representative in the Party Central Committee, and began to form the party’s first generation central leadership group with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core. This is the most important guarantee for our party and the revolutionary cause to turn the crisis into safety and constantly open up new situations.

The victory of the Long March made our party further realize that only by integrating the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism with the specific realities of the Chinese revolution and independently solving the major issues of the Chinese revolution can the revolutionary cause be led to victory. This is the truth learned through the lessons of blood and the test of struggle.

The victory of the Long March achieved unprecedented unity of the entire party and the Red Army on the basis of pursuing and adhering to the truth. Without this ideological and political unity, the victory of the Chinese revolution would be impossible. After being tempered by the Long March, our party continued to mature ideologically and became the mainstay of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the backbone of the Chinese revolution's final victory.

The Long March was a great expedition to awaken the people. When the Red Army wins battles, the people are its backer. The Long March was the first time in history, the Long March was a manifesto, the Long March was a propaganda team, and the Long March was a seeder. Faced with the confrontation between the two forces of justice and evil, and the choice between bright and dark futures, our party has always been rooted in the people, contacted the people, publicized the people, armed the people, united the people, relied on the people, and won the sincere support and support of the people with its own exemplary actions. The broad masses of the people are the source of strength for the victory of the Long March.

During the Long March, our party held high the banner of the unity of the entire nation in the war of resistance, promoted the formation of the anti-Japanese national united front, sounded the clarion call for the entire nation to awaken and rise, and gathered powerful forces to unite to resist Japan and unite with the outside world. The broad masses of the people have a profound understanding that the Communist Party of China is a party that seeks the interests of the people, the Red Army is the people's army and the real force of resistance against Japan, and the path guided by the Communist Party of China is the correct path for the people to stand up for liberation.

The victory of the Long March publicized our party’s ideas, sowed the fire of revolution, expanded the influence of the party and the Red Army, consolidated the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people, and made the party firmly rooted among the people.

The victory of the Long March fully demonstrated the power of the nature and purpose of the Communist Party of China. It fully demonstrated that the Communist Party of China must take root and blossom among the people and must rely closely on the people to overcome difficulties and win victory.

The Long March is a great expedition that breaks new ground.The victory of the Long March is the victory of the direction and the road. The process of the Long March was not only a process of defeating the enemy, winning victory, and achieving strategic goals, but also a process of connecting with reality, innovating theories, and exploring the path of revolution. Before the Long March started, due to the internal conflict within the party“Left”Wrong leadership that leans into dogmatism, the fifth counterattack in the Central Revolutionary Base Area“Encirclement and Suppression”Failed, other base areas also suffered setbacks, and the Chinese revolution was faced with the choice of direction and path. In the face of flying clouds and turbulent waves, our party showed a fearless great practical spirit and a great creative spirit of rebirth from the ashes, and blazed a revolutionary road to new life and victory in the blood and fire.

The victory of the Long March not only preserved the revolutionary forces, but also enabled our party to find a new foothold for the survival and development of China's revolutionary forces and a new starting point for the successful advancement of China's revolutionary cause. Starting from the end of the Long March, our party led the Chinese people to unfold a magnificent new picture of the Chinese revolution.

The victory of the Long March enabled our party to take the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Revolutionary Base Area as the center and promote the establishment and development of a large number of revolutionary base areas. The revolutionary fire gradually became a prairie fire across the land of China, effectively promoting the arrival of a new revolutionary climax.

Comrades!“Through hardships and hardships, you will succeed.”The Long March’s long duration, large scale, long distance, dangerous environment, and fierce battles are unique in Chinese history, and are extremely rare in the history of world wars and even human civilization.

During the long journey, the Red Army soldiers fought with the enemy600Fighted in more than one battle, crossed nearly a hundred rivers, and climbed40More than one high mountain and dangerous peak, including the altitude4000There are snow-capped mountains that are over 1 meter tall20Yu Zuo, who traveled through time is called“Death Trap”24239_24298

80In the past few years, reports and research on the Red Army’s Long March have emerged one after another around the world, and an endless stream of people have come to visit the Long March. More and more people in the international community believe that the Red Army’s Long March was20One of the most important events of the century that has the greatest impact on the future of the world is a human epic full of ideals and dedication, written with will and courage. The long march unleashed a powerful force that stirred people's hearts, spanning time, space, and nations. It is a great epic of mankind's unremitting efforts in the pursuit of truth and light.

Comrades!The Long March, a great feat in human history, has left us the most precious spiritual wealth, which is the great Long March spirit forged with the lives and blood of the Chinese Communists and Red Army soldiers.

Great Long March Spirit，It is the spirit of putting the fundamental interests of the people of the country and the Chinese nation above all else, firming up revolutionary ideals and beliefs, and firmly believing that the just cause will win;In order to save the country and the people, not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, and willing to make all sacrifices;It is the spirit of insisting on independence, seeking truth from facts, and proceeding from reality;It is the spirit of taking the overall situation into consideration, strictly observing discipline, and being closely united;It is the spirit of relying closely on the people, living and dying with the people, sharing weal and woe, and struggling hard。

Great Long March Spirit，It is a vivid reflection of the revolutionary style of the Chinese Communists and the people's army led by them, a concentrated display of the Chinese nation's national character of constant self-improvement, and the highest expression of the national spirit with patriotism as the core。

If a person has no spirit, he will not be established, and if a country has no spirit, it will not be strong. Spirit is the soul on which a nation depends for its long-term survival. Only when the spirit reaches a certain height can the nation stand firm and move forward bravely in the torrent of history. The spirit of the great Long March, as an important part of the red gene and spiritual genealogy of the Chinese Communists, has been deeply integrated into the blood and soul of the Chinese nation, becoming the rich nourishment of the core socialist values ​​and a powerful spiritual power that inspires and inspires the Chinese people to continuously overcome difficulties and move from victory to victory.

Comrades!

History is created by the people, and heroic people create heroic history. China's progress and development today came from the Long March.

As early as the eve of the founding of New China, Comrade Mao Zedong warned us:“Winning nationwide victory is only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles.”After the founding of New China, after arduous exploration and tortuous practice, we opened a new era of reform and opening up and embarked on a new long march to build socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Reform and opening up30Over the years, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, people of all ethnic groups across the country have united as one and worked hard. my country's reform, opening up, and socialist modernization have accelerated. People's lives have been fundamentally improved. my country's socialist system has been greatly consolidated and developed. We have ushered in bright prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics is a long-term and arduous historical task. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said:“We have only been practicing socialism for a few decades and are still in the primary stage. Consolidating and developing the socialist system will still take a long historical stage and require the unremitting efforts of several generations, a dozen generations, or even dozens of generations, and we must not take it lightly.”

History is constantly moving forward. To reach the ideal destination, we must keep moving forward along the path we have determined. Every generation has its own Long March, and every generation must walk its own Long March. Today, the long march of our generation is to realize“Two hundred years”Strive for the goal and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Compared with the Red Army’s Long March of that year, and with the new Long March we have taken since the reform and opening up, although there are some or even big differences in environment, conditions, tasks, strength, etc., today’s Long March is a pioneering, arduous, and complex undertaking.

There is no smooth road to achieve great ideals. We still have a lot to achieve to achieve new progress in the great cause of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, to achieve new results in the new great project of advancing party building, and to achieve new victories in the great struggle with many new historical characteristics“Snow Mountain”、“Grassland”Need to cross, there are many“Loushanguan”、“Lazikou”We need to conquer. All thoughts that are greedy for comfort and are unwilling to continue to work hard are unacceptable. All thoughts that are proud and complacent and unwilling to continue to pioneer and move forward are unacceptable.

The Long March is always on the road. A nation that cannot remember where it came from is a nation that has no future. No matter where our career develops, no matter how great our achievements are, we must vigorously carry forward the great Long March spirit and continue to march forward bravely on the new Long March road.

To carry forward the spirit of the great Long March and to walk well on today’s Long March, we must strengthen our lofty ideals of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and strive for our lofty ideals and beliefs.The victory of the Long March enlightens us: Have faith in your heart and have strength under your feet;Without unbreakable ideals and beliefs, and without the strong support of lofty ideals and beliefs, it is unimaginable to win the Long March. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said:“No matter how weak our party was in the past, no matter what difficulties it encountered, it always had strong fighting capacity because we had the belief in Marxism and communism. With a common ideal, there is iron discipline. This is our real advantage in the past, present and future.”

On the new Long March, we must maintain firm ideals and beliefs. No matter how the times change, no matter how the conditions change, we must remain unwavering. We must consciously be firm believers and faithful practitioners of the lofty ideals of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must always fight for the truth and always fight for our ideals.

“Stones can be broken but cannot be captured;The elixir can be ground, but it cannot be taken away.”The firmness of ideals and beliefs comes from the firmness of ideological theory. Understanding the truth, mastering the truth, believing in the truth, and defending the truth are the spiritual prerequisites for firm ideals and beliefs. The ideals and beliefs of the Chinese Communists are based on the scientific truth of Marxism, on the laws of development of human society revealed by Marxism, and on the lofty value of seeking benefits for the overwhelming majority of the people. We are firm because we pursue the truth. We are firm because we follow the rules. We are firm because we represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people.

To strengthen our ideals and beliefs, we must study Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory in depth,“Three Represents”Important thoughts, scientific outlook on development, and in-depth study of the Party Central Committee’s new ideas, new thoughts, and new strategies in governance since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Let the truth arm our minds, let the truth guide our ideals, and let the truth strengthen our beliefs. We must persist in learning and believing, learning and thinking, and learning and acting, transform the learning results into unshakable ideals and beliefs, into a correct world outlook, outlook on life, and values, use the light of ideals to illuminate the road of struggle, and use the power of faith to create a better future.

To carry forward the spirit of the great Long March and walk today’s Long March, we must strengthen our confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and strive to win new victories in the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.The victory of the Long March inspired us: only by mastering scientific theories can we grasp the correct direction;Only by basing ourselves on reality and opening up a path forward independently can we continue to move towards victory. The road traveled by the Long March not only traversed thousands of mountains and rivers, but also overcame the erroneous ideological obstacle of treating Marxism as an unchanging dogma. The fundamental experience and inspiration the Long March has given us is to adhere to the integration of the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities and unswervingly follow the path of revolution, construction, and reform that is in line with China's national conditions.

On the new Long March, we must firmly believe that the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only way to realize socialist modernization and the only way to guide the Chinese people to create their own better life. The theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the correct theory to guide the party and the people to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation along the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is a scientific theory that stands at the forefront of the times and keeps pace with the times. The socialist system with Chinese characteristics is the fundamental institutional guarantee for the development and progress of contemporary China. It is an advanced system with distinctive Chinese characteristics, obvious institutional advantages, and strong self-improvement capabilities. The culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics embodies the deepest spiritual pursuit of the Chinese nation, represents the unique spiritual identity of the Chinese nation, and is a powerful spiritual force for the Chinese people to move forward victoriously. This has not only been proven to be correct in theory, but also in practice.

Socialism with Chinese characteristics carries the ideals and explorations of generations of Chinese Communists, entrusts the long-cherished wishes and expectations of countless people with lofty ideals, and embodies the struggles and sacrifices of hundreds of millions of people. It is the inevitable choice for the development of Chinese society in modern times. We emphasize that we should strengthen our self-confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture. This does not mean that we are resting on our laurels and not making progress. We must continue to make discoveries, inventions, creations, and advances so that socialism with Chinese characteristics will always be full of vitality. At the same time, we must always remember that all the improvements and improvements we make are to continue to move forward in the established direction, not to change the direction, nor to abandon the foundation of our party, country, and people.

To carry forward the spirit of the great Long March and walk today's Long March successfully, we must put the people at the highest position in our hearts, insist on doing everything for the people, relying on the people in everything, and strive hard for the people to live a better life.The victory of the Long March has inspired us: the people have endless wisdom and strength. Only by always believing in the people, relying closely on the people, and fully mobilizing the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the people can we gather the majestic power of unity. A history of the Red Army's Long March is a history that reflects the close friendship between the military and civilians. In Shazhou Village, Rucheng County, Hunan,3A female Red Army soldier stayed at Xu Jiexiu's home. Before leaving, she cut off half of her only quilt and left it with the old man. The old man said, what is the Communist Party?The Communist Party is someone who has a quilt but still wants to cut off half of it and give it to the people. Being with the people through thick and thin, sharing the same blood, and sharing life and death is the fundamental guarantee for the Chinese Communist Party and the Red Army to achieve victory in the Long March. It is also the fundamental guarantee for us to overcome all difficulties and risks. The reason why the Communist Party of China has been able to develop and grow, and the reason why socialism with Chinese characteristics can continue to advance, is precisely because it relies on the people. The reason why the Communist Party of China can win the support of the people, and the reason why socialism with Chinese characteristics can win the support of the people, is precisely because it has benefited the people.

On the new Long March, the whole party must bear in mind that the question of who and who we rely on is the touchstone to test the nature of a political party and a regime. We must always take the people's position as our fundamental political stance, put the people's interests as supreme, and constantly advance the cause of benefiting the people. We must unite and lead all people to continuously protect and improve people's livelihood with our hard work and unremitting efforts, so that the results of reform and development can benefit all people more and more equitably, and make steady progress towards the goal of realizing common prosperity for all people.

“Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.”We must remember this truth and never forget it at any time. The common people are the sky, and the common people are the earth. If we forget the people and become separated from the people, we will become water without a source and a tree without roots, and we will achieve nothing. We must adhere to the party's mass line, always maintain flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people, always accept criticism and supervision from the people, always think about the people's sufferings in our hearts, and always think about strategies to enrich the people, so that our party will always win the trust and support of the people, and our cause will always have an inexhaustible source of strength.

Unity is a powerful force to overcome all difficulties and an important guarantee for uniting people and achieving great achievements. In the journey of striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must consolidate the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups in the country, strengthen the unity of all parties, groups, ethnic groups, classes and all aspects, resolutely safeguard national unity and social harmony and stability, and resolutely oppose any separatist activities that undermine unity and unity. We must pool the wisdom and strength of all people, stimulate the creative vitality and development momentum of the entire society, and let the majestic power of all Chinese people unite and work together to become a powerful driving force for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

To carry forward the great Long March spirit and walk today’s Long March successfully, we must grasp the direction, grasp the overall situation, coordinate the overall situation, and strive to achieve our overall mission, overall layout, and overall goals.The victory of the Long March has inspired us: To remain invincible, a party must stand at the forefront of the times, closely follow the new historical characteristics, scientifically plan the overall situation, firmly grasp the strategic initiative, and unswervingly achieve our strategic goals. The Long March covered high mountains, crossed rivers and treacherous shoals, and passed through grassy wastelands. However, every journey, every breakout, and every battle were based on the overall strategic situation. It not only won the war, but also won the strategic initiative. This is both a spirit and a kind of wisdom.

On the new Long March, we must base ourselves on the conditions of the world, the country and the party, coordinate the domestic and international situations, coordinate the overall development of the party and the country's undertakings, coordinate the development of various undertakings, seize strategic priorities, achieve key breakthroughs, win strategic initiative, guard against systemic risks, avoid subversive crises, and maintain the overall development situation.

The overall task of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics is to realize socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We must coordinate and advance“Five in one”Overall layout, coordinated promotion“Four Comprehensive”Strategic layout, dedicated to realization“Two hundred years”Work hard to achieve the goal and constantly push forward the historical process of completing the overall task. Development is of decisive significance to upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must adhere to economic construction as the center, adhere to the new development concept to lead the new normal of economic development, solve development problems, consolidate development advantages, and continuously lay a strong material foundation for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. Reform is a key move that determines the destiny of contemporary China. We must unswervingly hold high the banner of reform, resolutely break through the shackles of ideological concepts, resolutely remove the barriers of entrenched interests, resolutely remove institutional obstacles that hinder the development of productivity and social progress, and continuously promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities. Innovation is the first driving force for development. We must emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, keep pace with the times, and unswervingly promote theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation and other innovations in all aspects, so that the cause of the party and the country is always full of creative vitality and constantly opens up new opportunities for innovation.

To carry forward the spirit of the great Long March and follow today's Long March path well, we must build a consolidated national defense and a strong military commensurate with our country's international status and compatible with national security and development interests, and strive to safeguard national security and world peace. The victory of the Long March inspired us: the people's army is the support of the revolution and the hope of the nation, and the party's absolute leadership of the army is the fundamental guarantee for the people's army to win. The Long March has tempered the People's Army, the Long March has tempered the People's Army, the Long March has made the People's Army successful, and the Long March has opened a new starting point for the development of the People's Army. The Long March is the glory of the People's Army, and the glorious People's Army must always inherit the great spirit and fine style of the Red Army's Long March.

On the new Long March, we must adhere to the Party’s goal of strengthening the military under the new situation as a guide, thoroughly implement the military strategic guidelines under the new situation, and strive to build a world-class army.

A strong country must have a strong army, and a strong army can ensure national security. We must tighten our grip on political army building and not relax, adhere to the party's absolute leadership over the army, always maintain the nature, purpose, and true qualities of the people's army, and always be the heirs of the Red Army. We must strive to cultivate a new generation of revolutionary soldiers with soul, ability, blood, and moral character, and strive to forge excellent troops with iron faith, iron belief, iron discipline, and iron responsibility. It is necessary to tighten the grip on reform and strengthen the military without slackening, unswervingly deepen the reform of national defense and the military, focus on solving institutional obstacles, structural contradictions, and policy issues that restrict national defense and military construction, further promote the modernization of the military's organizational form, and accelerate the construction of a modern military force system with Chinese characteristics. We must firmly adhere to the rule of law and not relax, focus on building a military legal system with Chinese characteristics, promote fundamental changes in the way of running the military, and improve the level of legalization of national defense and military construction. We must tighten our grip on preparations for war and not relax, adhere to combat effectiveness as the only fundamental criterion, expand and deepen preparations for military struggles, strengthen practical military training, and accelerate the improvement of our ability to win information-based wars. It is necessary to thoroughly implement the military-civilian integration development strategy, better integrate national defense and military construction into the national economic and social development system, and form an all-factor, multi-field, and high-efficiency in-depth development pattern of military-civilian integration. It is necessary to strengthen national defense mobilization and reserve force building, and consolidate and develop military-political unity between the military and the people. It is necessary to strengthen international military and security cooperation, actively fulfill the responsibilities and obligations commensurate with China's international status, work with other countries in the world to jointly respond to global security challenges, and make greater contributions to maintaining world peace. The entire military must enhance its sense of urgency, crisis, and mission, advance the modernization of national defense and the military with the spirit of seizing the day, and shoulder the major responsibility of safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests.

To carry forward the spirit of the great Long March and to walk well on today’s Long March, we must strengthen the party’s leadership, insist on comprehensive and strict governance of the party, and strive to advance the new great project of party building.The victory of the Long March has inspired us: the leadership of the party is the fundamental guarantee for the success of the cause of the party and the people. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out:“Who made the Long March victorious?It is the Communist Party. Without the Communist Party, such a Long March would have been impossible to imagine. The Communist Party of China, its leading organs, its cadres, and its party members are not afraid of any hardships.”The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most fundamental guarantee for the continuous victory of China’s revolution, construction, and reform. It is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It must be upheld and improved unswervingly.

On the new Long March, all comrades in the party must consciously uphold and safeguard the party's leadership, consciously stand on the side of the party and the people, be loyal to the party, share worries for the party, take responsibility for the party, and fulfill their responsibilities for the party, and do their best to complete the responsibilities and tasks assigned by the party. Through the joint efforts of the whole party, our party will always be with the people and always at the forefront of the times.

“He who knows himself is a hero, and he who wins is a hero.”The closer the dream of national rejuvenation is, the more arduous the task of reform and opening up will be, and the more important it is to strengthen party building. Never forgetting danger is the way to survive and develop. What our party is facing“Four major tests”、“Four dangers”It is long-term, complicated and severe. It is necessary to uphold the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, strengthen political awareness, overall awareness, core awareness, and alignment awareness among party organizations at all levels and the majority of party members and cadres, and ensure that they are always highly consistent with the Party Central Committee in terms of ideology, politics, and actions. We must continue to promote comprehensive and strict governance of the party, firmly grasp the main line of strengthening the party's governance capacity and advanced nature, strengthen and standardize intra-party political life under the new situation, unswervingly promote the construction of a clean and honest government and the fight against corruption, continuously enhance the party's self-purification, self-improvement, self-renovation, and self-improvement capabilities, improve the party's leadership and governance levels, enhance its ability to resist corruption, prevent degeneration, and resist risks, and ensure that the party remains a strong leadership core for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Carrying forward the spirit of the great Long March and walking on today’s Long March is a major issue we face under the conditions of the new era. The spirit of the great Long March is a precious spiritual wealth gained by the party and the people at great cost and through great struggle. From generation to generation, we must keep in mind the spirit of the great Long March, learn from it, and carry forward the spirit of the great Long March, so that it will become the basis for our party, our country, our people, our army, and our nation to continue moving into the future
