Comrades:

Today, we have a grand gathering here to celebrate the founding of the Communist Party of China85anniversary, summarize the educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members with the main content of practicing the important thought of "Three Represents", and commend the country's advanced grassroots party organizations, outstanding Communist Party members, and outstanding party workers.

First of all, on behalf of the Party Central Committee, I would like to express holiday congratulations to the majority of Communist Party members across the country! I would like to express my high respect to the commended national advanced grassroots party organizations, outstanding Communist Party members, and outstanding party workers! The whole party must conscientiously study their advanced deeds and lofty spirit, constantly maintain and develop the party's advanced nature, and continue to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to march forward bravely on the great road of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and creating a new situation in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

一

The Chinese Communist Party has already passed85An extraordinary journey. here85In the past year, our party has closely relied on and closely united the people of all ethnic groups in the country and accomplished three major events. During the period of the new-democratic revolution, we went through28Years of arduous struggle overthrew the reactionary rule of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism, achieved national independence and people's liberation, and established a New China in which the people are the masters of the country.

During the period of socialist revolution and construction, we established the basic socialist system and established an independent and relatively complete industrial system and national economic system on the basis of poverty and poverty, allowing ancient China to stand in the east of the world with a brand-new attitude. During the period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, we pioneered the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, adhered to economic construction as the center, adhered to the four basic principles, and adhered to reform and opening up. We initially established a socialist market economic system, significantly improved our country's overall national strength and people's living standards, and opened up broad prospects for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and basically realizing socialist modernization. These three major events fundamentally changed the future and destiny of the Chinese people, determined the development direction of Chinese history, and had a profound and widespread impact on the world.

In summary, the Communist Party of China8511674_1172285was the year when the basic principles of Marxism were combined with China’s specific reality and the Chineseization of Marxism was continuously promoted85is the year when our great motherland ended its modern history of humiliation and years of war, and overcame various difficulties and risks to forge ahead tenaciously85is the year when the Chinese people took control of their own destiny and built a new life with high spirits85is the year when our party has withstood the test of various storms, continued to grow and develop, and constantly created new situations in various undertakings85Year.

85All the achievements made in China's revolution, construction, and reform over the past few years are the result of the joint efforts of generations of Chinese Communists uniting and leading the people of all ethnic groups across the country. For a long time, for the victory of the Chinese revolution, for the prosperity of the Chinese nation, and for the happiness of the Chinese people, the majority of Communist Party members fought bloody battles through life and death in the revolutionary war years, forged ahead and made sacrifices during the peace construction period, and made great contributions to the Party and the people. At this moment, with high respect, we deeply cherish the memory of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun and other deceased older generation revolutionaries who have established great achievements for the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. We deeply cherish the memory of countless communists and revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed heroically!

Summary of our party85years of history, we can draw a basic conclusion, which is: the reason why our party can become the core force leading China’s revolution, construction, and reform, the reason why it can shoulder the historical trust of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and the reason why it can survive in a country that is undergoing drastic changes. The fundamental reason why our party has always been invincible in the international and domestic environment is that our party has always represented the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces, represented the direction of China's advanced culture, and represented the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people. It has always attached great importance to and continuously maintained and developed its advanced nature as a Marxist party.85Our party’s creative practice in maintaining and developing its advanced nature over the past few years has provided us with valuable experience in strengthening the construction of the party’s advanced nature.

First, to strengthen the party’s advanced nature, we must accurately grasp the pulse of the times and ensure that the party always keeps pace with the development of the times. Correctly judging the characteristics of the times, accurately grasping development trends, and scientifically setting goals and tasks are major issues related to the future and destiny of a Marxist party, and are also an important basis for measuring the advanced nature of a Marxist party. Our party insists on using Marxist positions, viewpoints, and methods to observe and analyze the general trends of world development, the actual situation of Chinese society, and the fundamental requirements of the Chinese people. Based on the reality of development and changes, we clarify the party's goals and tasks in each historical period, and constantly point out the way forward for the cause of the party and the people.

20In the first half of the century, facing the characteristics of the era of imperialism and proletarian revolution, and facing the conditions of China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, our party firmly grasped the theme of national independence and people's liberation, established the historical task of the new-democratic revolution, and raised the banner of saving the nation from extinction and promoting the development and progress of Chinese society. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, faced with the international situation in which world socialism was in the ascendant and the national liberation movement was surging, and in the face of China's desperate situation, our party firmly grasped the general trend of the development of the times and the will of the people, successfully carried out the socialist revolution and carried out socialist construction.

Last century70Since the end of the 1990s, facing the international environment in which peace and development have become the themes of the times, and facing the contradiction between the people's growing material and cultural needs and backward social production, which is the main contradiction in our society at this stage, our party has timely realized the strategic shift of work focus on the basis of correcting chaos, decisively made the strategic decision of reform and opening up, firmly grasped development, which is the party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country, and accelerated the construction of a prosperous, democratic, civilized and modern socialist country. History has shown that only by correctly understanding and grasping the characteristics of the times and the general trend of world development, and scientifically formulating and implementing goals and tasks that are in line with my country's reality and the people's aspirations, can our party always stand at the forefront of the development of the times and at the forefront of China's social development and progress.

Second, to strengthen the party’s advanced nature, we must take the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and goal of all the party’s work to ensure that the party always shares the same destiny with the people. The people are the fundamental driving force for creating history. Our party adheres to the Marxist mass perspective, adheres to the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and always regards realizing and safeguarding the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the fundamental basis of the party's theory, line, principles, policies, and all work. It has always been deeply rooted in the people and strives unremittingly for the fundamental interests of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. Carrying out the new democratic revolution, carrying out the socialist revolution and construction, and carrying out reform and opening up are all to comply with the will of the people and realize the interests of the people.

Now, we are proposing major tasks such as adhering to people-oriented, realizing scientific development, building a socialist harmonious society, building a new socialist countryside, and building an innovative country. This is also to comply with the people's will and realize the people's interests. It is in the long-term historical comparison that the Chinese people have chosen our party to represent their fundamental interests and as the leading force for the rejuvenation of the country and the nation. History has shown that only by deeply understanding the power of the people in creating history, sincerely representing the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the Chinese people, doing everything for the people, and relying on the people in everything, can our party gain the full trust and support of the people and be invincible.

Third, to strengthen the party's advanced nature, we must keep the party's theory, line, principles and policies constantly advancing with the times, and ensure that all the party's work is always in line with reality and the laws of social development. The party's theory, line, principles and policies are related to the life of the party. To maintain and develop its advanced nature, a Marxist political party must keep pace with the times in researching, proposing, and implementing correct theories, lines, principles, and policies. Our party persists in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, and advancing with the times, integrating the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality, and has produced Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents." Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has put forward a series of major strategic ideas such as the Scientific Outlook on Development and the construction of a socialist harmonious society. These theoretical achievements are the summary of the practical experience of the party and the people and the crystallization of collective wisdom.

Under the guidance of these correct theories, our party timely formulated lines, principles and policies that conformed to China's reality and reflected the people's aspirations. For example, during the New Democratic Revolution period, the correct path was proposed to surround the cities in the countryside and seize power with arms. During the Anti-Japanese War, it proposed the correct idea of establishing an anti-Japanese national united front. After the founding of New China, it formulated the general line for the transition period, and during the reform and opening up period"One center, two basic points"'s basic line for the primary stage of socialism, the major theory of establishing a socialist market economic system, the major strategic thinking of the Scientific Outlook on Development, etc.

History shows that only by continuously advancing the party's theory, line, principles and policies with the times can our party find the correct path and scientific method to realize the fundamental interests of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and promote the cause of the party and the people from victory to new victory.

Fourth, strengthening the party’s advanced nature must be carried out around the party’s central tasks to ensure that the party always leads the development and progress of Chinese society. To measure whether a Marxist political party is advanced, we must examine it in specific historical practice. In the final analysis, we must look at its actual role in promoting historical progress. Our party has always determined the party's central tasks based on the principal contradictions in the development of Chinese society at different historical stages, and strengthened party building around the realization of the party's central tasks.

For example, during the period of the new democratic revolution, our party focused on the central task of striving for national independence and people's liberation, requiring party organizations at all levels and the majority of party members to be the vanguard of the democratic revolution, the vanguard of national liberation, the vanguard of connecting with the masses, and embody the party's advanced nature in tenacious struggle and bloody battles. In the new era of reform and opening up, our party, focusing on the central task of economic construction, requires party organizations at all levels and party members to become models for emancipating the mind, implementing the first priority, seeking truth and being pragmatic, and pioneering and innovative, and embodying the party's advanced nature in the practice of reform, opening up, and modernization.

History shows that only by always strengthening the Party’s advanced nature construction around realizing the Party’s central tasks can the Party’s advanced nature construction and the cause of the Party and the people promote each other, and the Party’s advanced nature be reflected in the practice of continuously developing China’s advanced productive forces, advanced culture, and realizing the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the Chinese people.

Fifth, to strengthen the party’s advanced nature, we must insist that the party must manage the party and govern the party strictly to ensure that the party always has vigorous vitality and vitality. To maintain and develop the party's advanced nature, we must persist in strengthening and improving the party's self-building to ensure that the party is always full of vitality and vitality. The reason why our party has been able to have only50The party, which has multiple party members and is in a secret state, has developed into one with350More than thousands of grassroots party organizations,7000More than ten thousand party members, in13A major party that has been in power for a long time in a country with a population of 21557_21631|has stood firm after going through hardships and has become stronger through repeated hardships. An important reason is that our party has always insisted that the party should manage the party and govern the party strictly, and has always focused on strengthening its own construction.

As early as the revolutionary war years, our party established party building as"Three magic weapons"First, we implemented the great project of party building and clearly proposed to build the party into a nationwide, broad-based Marxist party that is ideologically, politically, and organizationally solid. Since the reform and opening up, in the face of the increasingly complex international situation and the ever-evolving domestic environment, our party has implemented a new great project of party building, clearly proposing to vigorously strengthen the party's governance capacity and advanced nature construction, and further solve the problem of improving the party's leadership and governance level, improving The two major historical issues of resisting corruption and preventing degeneration and the ability to withstand risks will build the party into a Marxist party that serves the people wholeheartedly, is fully consolidated ideologically, politically, and organizationally, is able to withstand various risks, is always at the forefront of the times, and leads the people across the country in building socialism with Chinese characteristics.

At important junctures in the development of the cause of the party and the people, our party always firmly grasps the key to party building, and always first mobilizes and organizes the party's own strength, and then unites and leads the people to overcome difficulties and win victory. History has shown that only by closely integrating with reality and continuously strengthening and improving the party's ideological construction, organizational construction, style construction and system construction can our party build a team of high-quality party members and cadres, establish a rigorous and stable organizational system and a scientific and effective leadership system, and form the broadest carrier and the most reliable institutional guarantee for maintaining and developing the party's advanced nature.

These valuable experiences are hard-won and have a long-term guiding role for us to further promote the party's advanced nature. We must cherish them very much and persist in them.
