On the occasion of the 82nd anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, at an important moment when the whole party is rising to a new upsurge in studying and implementing the important thought of "Three Represents", the relevant departments of the central government jointly held this theoretical seminar, which is of great significance.

The main tasks of the meeting are: conscientiously implement the spirit of the 16th National Congress, exchange experiences on studying, publicizing and practicing the important thought of "Three Represents", and promote a new upsurge in the whole party to better study and implement the important thought of "Three Represents". I hope that everyone will closely focus on the theme of the conference, closely contact the new requirements for the development of the party and the country's cause, closely contact the ideological and work realities of cadres and the masses, summarize experience, exchange ideas, and strive to turn the seminar into a conference that raises awareness, unifies thinking, promotes learning, and in-depth implementation.

The rise of a new upsurge in studying and implementing the important thought of "Three Represents" is a strategic measure proposed by the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is also the continuation and deepening of the activities of the whole party and the country in studying and implementing the important thought of "Three Represents" in recent years. In February 2000, Comrade Jiang Zemin clearly put forward the requirement of "Three Represents". Since then, learning and implementation activities have generally gone through three stages. The first phase is from February 2000 to June 2001. The proposal of the "Three Represents" requirement has aroused strong repercussions both inside and outside the Party and at home and abroad. The entire Party and the country have carried out study and research with great enthusiasm, and their understanding of this important idea has continued to deepen. The second stage is from July 2001 to November 2002. On behalf of the Party Central Committee, Comrade Jiang Zemin delivered an important speech at the conference celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Party, systematically expounding the scientific connotation and basic content of the important thought of "Three Represents". The whole Party and the country have in-depth study and implementation, which has effectively promoted reform, opening up, and modernization. The third stage is from the 16th National Congress to the present. The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China established the important thought of "Three Represents" together with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory as the guiding ideology that the party must adhere to in the long term, and put forward the fundamental requirements and work arrangements for study and implementation. Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, various regions and departments have focused on the theme, grasped the soul, and paid close attention to implementation, forming an upsurge in studying and implementing the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and achieved new and obvious results in studying and implementing the important thought of "Three Represents." Now, this important thought is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has played a strong guiding and promoting role in my country's socialist modernization drive and party building.

To achieve the grand goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, we must continue to deepen the study and implementation of the important thinking of the "Three Represents". This is the great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance of the new upsurge in the study and implementation of the important thought of "Three Represents" proposed by the Party Central Committee in the whole party. We must implement a new upsurge in study and implementation through rising, and effectively enable the majority of party members and cadres to reach a new height in their understanding of the historical background, practical basis, scientific connotation, spiritual essence and historical status of the important thought of "Three Represents".

Next, I would like to talk about four issues based on my own understanding, and study and discuss them with everyone.

  1. The important thought of "Three Represents" is a scientific system that is in the same vein as Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory and keeps pace with the times. It is the latest achievement of the development of Marxism in China

Adhering to guiding practice with scientific theories that reflect the characteristics of the times and practical requirements, and constantly promoting theoretical innovation based on fresh experience from practice, are the fundamental guarantees for a Marxist political party to maintain its advanced nature and continuously promote the development of its cause. Our party has established Marxism as its guiding ideology since its birth, and has persisted in integrating the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality in its long-term struggle, producing three major theoretical achievements: Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents."

Since the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the contemporary Chinese Communists, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as the main representative, have held high the great banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory, accurately grasped the characteristics of the times, scientifically judged the historical position of our party, focused the wisdom of the whole party around the theme of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, carried out theoretical innovation with the great theoretical courage of Marxism, and gradually formed a systematic scientific theory of the important thought of "Three Represents". This scientific theory has achieved fruitful results on major issues such as the ideological line, development path, development stages and strategies, fundamental tasks, development motivation, reliance, international strategy, leadership and fundamental purpose of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. It uses a series of closely connected and interpenetrated new ideas, new perspectives, and new judgments to further answer the questions of what socialism is and how to build socialism, and creatively answers the questions of what kind of party to build and how to build the party. The "Outline for Studying the Important Thought of "Three Represents"" approved by the Party Central Committee and issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China more systematically summarizes the theoretical achievements of the important thought of "Three Represents" in reform, development, stability, domestic affairs, foreign affairs, national defense, and governance of the party, country, and military. The formation of the important thought of "Three Represents" shows that our party's understanding of the laws governing the Communist Party, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of development of human society has reached a new theoretical height and opened up a new realm for the development of Marxism.

The formation of the important thought of "Three Represents" not only shows that our party has reached a new height in theoretical consciousness and practical initiative, but is also a matter of great significance in the history of the development of Marxism and scientific socialism. The important thought of "Three Represents" is closely integrated with the conditions of the new era, vividly and concretely upholds and develops Marxism, gives Marxism new vitality, and once again strongly proves that the basic principles of Marxism are still a sharp ideological weapon for us to correctly understand and apply the laws of development of human society. The important thought of "Three Represents" is a model for upholding Marxism and a model for developing Marxism.

First, the important thought of "Three Represents" adheres to the Marxist worldview and methodology, creatively uses them to analyze the reality of today's world and China, and provides a new theoretical summary for us to use dialectical materialism and historical materialism to understand and grasp the laws of social development under the conditions of the new era, and to better promote our country's socialist cause. The worldview and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism are the most fundamental theoretical features of Marxism. Marxism insists on explaining the world from the perspective of social material production, especially the contradictory movements of productive forces and production relations. It regards productive forces as the most active and revolutionary force in promoting social progress, and believes that the sum of productive forces determines social conditions. Always representing the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces is the application and elucidation of the basic Marxist principle of the dialectical relationship between productivity and production relations, and economic base and superstructure; always representing the direction of progress of China's advanced culture is the application and elucidation of the basic Marxist principle of the dialectical relationship between material life and spiritual life, social existence and social consciousness; always representing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people is the application and elucidation of the basic Marxist principle that the people are the driving force for historical progress. The basic points of the important thought of "Three Represents" have been discussed by classic Marxist writers, but the development of advanced productive forces and advanced culture, the realization of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and the upholding of the party's advanced nature are linked together, rising to the level of the nature and purpose of the party, rising to the level of the party's guiding ideology, forming a complete system. This is the creative application and development of dialectical materialism and historical materialism by contemporary Chinese Communists. The important thinking of the "Three Represents" not only unswervingly adheres to the Marxist worldview and methodology, but also gives them a distinctive spirit of the times and practical requirements.

Second, the important thought of "Three Represents" adheres to the unity of the party's maximum program and minimum program, providing a new theoretical basis for us to adhere to the ultimate goal of Marxism and formulate and implement scientific strategies to promote the development of socialism in our country based on reality. The realization of a communist society in which material wealth is greatly enriched, the people's spiritual realm is greatly improved, and everyone develops freely and comprehensively is the most noble social ideal of Marxism. The important thought of "Three Represents" emphasizes the establishment of lofty ideals and firm beliefs of communism. It also emphasizes that communism can only be realized on the basis of the full development and high development of socialist society. Realizing communism is a very long historical process. We must be based on the reality that our country is in the primary stage of socialism and will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time, and make unremitting efforts to realize the basic program of the party at this stage. In the primary stage of socialism in our country, the fundamental task of our party as the ruling party is to develop productive forces, and development is the top priority of our party in governing and rejuvenating the country. Development is centered on economic construction and coordinated with economy, politics and culture. It is sustainable development that promotes harmony between man and nature. Chinese Communists must adhere to the mission of rejuvenating the country and the goal of enriching the people, and follow the path of socialist development that suits China's national conditions. Through long-term efforts, they will continue to make the economy more developed, democracy more complete, science and education more advanced, culture more prosperous, society more harmonious, and people's lives more prosperous. They will continue to promote the all-round development of people and continue to advance towards the party's ultimate goal. If you forget your lofty ideals and only focus on the present, you will lose your direction; if you leave practical work and talk about lofty ideals, you will be divorced from reality. The important thought of "Three Represents" not only clearly adheres to the social ideal of Marxism, but also points out a realistic way for us to continue to advance successfully towards realizing the lofty ideals and ultimate goals of the Communists through persevering efforts.

Third, the important thought of "Three Represents" adheres to Marxism's political stance that proletarian parties must be rooted in the people, and pays attention to drawing nutrients from the practice of the people. It puts forward new theoretical requirements for us to adhere to the Marxist mass perspective and continuously realize the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. All theories and struggles of a Marxist party should be committed to realizing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. This is the most distinct political position of Marxism. The important thought of "Three Represents" emphasizes that the Communist Party of China is the vanguard of the Chinese working class, the vanguard of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and the core leadership of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The fundamental purpose of building socialism with Chinese characteristics is to continuously realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. The party’s theory, line, program, principles, policies and work must be in line with the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the highest criterion. We must adhere to the perspective of putting practice first, take the practice of the overwhelming majority of the people as the source of theoretical innovation, and take the realization of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the purpose of theoretical innovation. These important theoretical viewpoints adapt to the development and changes of our party's historical status and governing conditions, adapt to the development and changes of our people's interests and social structure, and put forward comprehensive requirements for us to better adhere to the Marxist political stance under the conditions of the new era.

Fourth, the important thought of "Three Represents" adheres to the theoretical quality of Marxism that keeps pace with the times, embodies the great courage of Marxist theoretical innovation, and opens up new theoretical horizons for us to adhere to the basic principles of Marxism and continuously promote theoretical innovation in practice. Adhering to proceeding from reality in everything, integrating theory with practice, seeking truth from facts, and testing and developing truth in practice are the most important theoretical qualities of Marxism. This theoretical quality that keeps pace with the times is the key to Marxism's vigorous vitality for more than 150 years. The important thought of "Three Represents" emphasizes that there is no end to practice, and there is no end to innovation. All the party's theories and work must reflect the times, grasp regularities, and be creative. The important thought of "Three Represents" creatively applied Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, especially Deng Xiaoping Theory, and closely combined with new practice, put forward the idea of establishing a socialist market economic system, the idea of public ownership as the main body, and the common development of multiple ownership economies as the basic economic system in the primary stage of socialism in my country, the idea of distribution according to work as the main body, and the coexistence of multiple distribution methods. Thoughts on implementing the all-round opening-up strategy, thoughts on the coordinated development of socialist material civilization, political civilization and spiritual civilization, thoughts on the correct handling of reform, development and stability, thoughts on building a socialist country under the rule of law, thoughts on combining governing the country according to law with governing the country by virtue, thoughts on taking the road of elite soldiers with Chinese characteristics, thoughts on consolidating the party's class foundation and expanding the party's mass base, etc. These are significant contributions to Marxist theory. The important thought of "Three Represents" not only adheres to the basic principles of Marxism, but also does not start from books, concepts and abstract principles. Instead, everything starts from reality, profoundly sums up the fresh experience created by practice and rises to theory, and effectively adheres to Marxism in promoting the development of Marxism.

In short, the important thought of "Three Represents" runs through the red line of Marxism and enriches and develops Marxism in many major aspects. This provides us with important revelations: theoretical innovation must be based on adhering to the basic principles of Marxism, otherwise it will lose its direction and go astray. Adherence to Marxism must be based on the continuous advancement of theoretical innovation based on the development of practice. Otherwise, Marxism will lose its vitality and cannot persist well; the great practice of the overwhelming majority of the people to transform the world and create a happy life is the driving force and source of theoretical innovation. Without the practice of the people, theoretical innovation will become water without a source, and it will not be able to inspire the people and play a guiding role in practice. To study and implement the important thought of "Three Represents", we must not only fully grasp its characteristics of being consistent with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory, but also fully grasp its characteristics of continuously advancing with the times on the basis of inheriting its predecessors. Under the new historical conditions, adhering to the important thought of "Three Represents" means truly adhering to Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory; holding high the banner of the important thought of "Three Represents" means truly holding high the banner of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory.

  2. The important thought of "Three Represents" is the fundamental guideline for the whole party and the people of the country to carry forward the past and forge ahead with the times in the new century and new stage, and to achieve the grand goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way

The new era calls for new theories, and new theories guide new practices. The fundamental purpose of studying and implementing the important thinking of "Three Represents" is to promote the whole party to better lead the people to advance the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Marx and Engels once said: "The real content of all epoch-making systems was formed due to the needs of the period in which these systems were produced." Our party's advancement with the times in guiding ideology all arises from the practical process of the development of the party and the people's cause, and they all serve the practical needs of the development of the party and the people's cause. Under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, our party united and led the people to achieve the great victory of the new-democratic revolution and achieved great achievements in the socialist revolution and construction. Under the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory, our party united and led the people to achieve great achievements in reform, opening up, and modernization, and successfully embarked on a new path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Without the correct guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, there would be no victory for the Chinese revolution and the establishment of the basic socialist system. Without the correct guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory, there would be no new path for reform, opening up, and building socialism with Chinese characteristics. The important thinking of the "Three Represents" is Chinese Marxism oriented to the 21st century. It is the fundamental guideline for the whole party and the people to strive to achieve the development goals and grand blueprint for the new century and new stage.

The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that we must seize the important strategic opportunity period in the first 20 years of this century and concentrate our efforts on building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. This ambitious goal is both exciting and daunting. In the journey to achieve this goal, we will face the following three major issues in the long term. First, we must scientifically judge and comprehensively grasp the development and changes of the international situation, correctly respond to the development trends of world multipolarity, economic globalization, and scientific and technological progress, properly handle various complex and uncertain factors that affect world peace and development, seize and make good use of important strategic opportunities, and firmly grasp the initiative to accelerate my country's development in the increasingly fierce competition for comprehensive national strength. The second is to scientifically judge and fully grasp the basic national conditions that our country will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time, correctly understand and properly handle the main contradiction between the people's growing material and cultural needs and backward social production, firmly grasp the center of economic construction, correctly handle the relationship between reform, development and stability, promote the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization and spiritual civilization, continuously enhance comprehensive national strength, and gradually realize the common prosperity of all people. The third is to scientifically judge and comprehensively grasp the historical position of our party and the historical mission it shoulders, correctly understand and properly handle the new situations and new problems encountered by the party in governing under the conditions of reform, opening up, and the development of a socialist market economy, strengthen and improve party building in the spirit of reform, continuously improve the party’s leadership and governance, enhance the ability to resist corruption, prevent degeneration, and resist risks, and always become the core of leadership that unites and leads the people to build socialism with Chinese characteristics. Whether these three major issues can be consistently solved is related to the future and destiny of our party and country, and to the success or failure of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. The important thought of "Three Represents" provides us with scientific theories and methods and points out the direction for correctly understanding and handling these major issues.

 ━━The important thought of "Three Represents" systematically summarizes the results of our party's exploration of the laws of socialist construction, scientifically predicts the development trend of modernization, and plans a grand blueprint and a set of development strategies for the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics. By adhering to the important thought of "Three Represents", adhering to the important thought of "Three Represents", always regarding development as the Party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country, regarding innovation as the way to govern the Party and the country that the Party must adhere to for a long time, and regarding the continuous improvement of people's lives as an important link in handling the relationship between reform, development and stability, adhere to the four basic principles, persist in reform and opening up, concentrate on construction, and pursue development wholeheartedly, we will be able to achieve the set development goals through unremitting efforts.

 ━━The important thought of "Three Represents" is based on the new practices of reform, opening up and modernization, firmly grasps the profound changes in my country's social life and social structure, and makes a scientific judgment on the forces relied on in building socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must adhere to the important thought of "Three Represents" and always believe that the working class, including intellectuals, and farmers are the fundamental force that promotes the development of my country's advanced productive forces and all-round social progress. The new social classes that emerge in social changes are the builders of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. By mobilizing all positive factors in the broadest and most complete manner, properly handling various interest relationships and social contradictions, effectively maintaining social stability, and forming a situation in which all people do their best, have their place and live in harmony, we can gather powerful forces to promote the development of the cause.

 ━━The important thought of "Three Represents" comprehensively examines the changes in the current world situation, accurately judges the development trend of the international situation, profoundly analyzes the interactive movement of various forces and contradictions in the international society, and puts forward the strategic and strategic guidelines for our country's diplomatic work. By adhering to the important thought of "Three Represents", always pursuing an independent foreign policy of peace, holding high the banner of peace and development, safeguarding world diversity, promoting world multipolarity and democratization of international relations, and promoting the establishment of a fair and reasonable new international political and economic order, we can continue to create a peaceful international environment and a good surrounding environment for our country's modernization drive.

━━The important thought of "Three Represents" closely links the new great project of party building with the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, gives the party's nature, purpose, guiding ideology and tasks rich content of the times, and determines the overall deployment of party building. By adhering to the important thought of "Three Represents", focusing on strengthening the party's governance capacity, constantly improving the party's creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness, and constantly consolidating the party's class foundation and expanding the party's mass foundation, our party will always be at the forefront of the times in the historical process of profound changes in the world situation.

In short, the comprehensive implementation of the important thought of "Three Represents" is related to the overall work of the party and the country, to the realization of the grand goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and to the long-term development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. All comrades in the party must continuously enhance their consciousness and determination in studying and implementing the important thought of "Three Represents" from this height, firmly establish the guiding position of the important thought of "Three Represents" in all the work of the whole party, consciously use the important thought of "Three Represents" to guide their own thoughts and actions, and continue to create new brilliance in the unprecedented great practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics.

3. The essence of the important thought of "Three Represents" is to build the party for the public good and govern for the people. The fundamental starting point and goal of learning and implementing the important thought of "Three Represents" must be the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people

Who you believe in, who you rely on, who you serve, and whether you always stand on the standpoint of the overwhelming majority of the people is the watershed that distinguishes historical materialism from spiritual idealism, and is also the touchstone for judging Marxist parties. For the Marxist ruling party, it is always most important to persist in building the party for the public good and governing for the people, realizing, safeguarding and developing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and giving full play to the enthusiasm of all people to develop advanced productive forces and advanced culture. The people of all ethnic groups in the country are the main body of the cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. The full use of the people's enthusiasm and creativity is the guarantee for the success of our cause. The continuous realization of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people is the highest goal of all our party's efforts.

We say that always achieving the "Three Represents" is the foundation of our party's founding, the foundation of governance, and the source of strength. The "base", "base" and "source" here are, in the final analysis, the support and support of the people. "Those who enjoy the happiness of the people will also enjoy the happiness of the people; those who worry about the worries of the people will also worry about the worries of the people." People's support is the fundamental factor that determines the rise and fall of a political party and a regime. Only when the theoretical line, principles, policies and all work of a Marxist party conform to the will of the people, seek the interests of the people and win the hearts of the people can they win the support and support of the people and remain invincible forever. All the struggles of our party over the past 80 years, whether it was the bloody battle to overthrow the "three mountains" during the war years, whether it was establishing a socialist system, carrying out large-scale socialist construction, or carrying out socialist reform, opening up, and modernization, in the final analysis were all aimed at realizing, safeguarding, and developing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people.

Realizing the people's wishes, meeting the people's needs and safeguarding the people's interests are the fundamental starting point and goal of the important thinking of the "Three Represents". The "Three Represents" are an interconnected and dialectically unified whole. Only by continuously liberating and developing productive forces and enhancing the country's economic strength can we provide a solid material foundation for building a socialist culture with Chinese characteristics and realizing the fundamental interests of the people. Only by continuously developing and prospering socialist culture can we continue to meet the people's growing needs for spiritual and cultural life and provide strong spiritual motivation and intellectual support for the development of productive forces. Only by continuously improving the material and cultural living standards of the people can reform and construction have a solid mass foundation, and the people can always devote themselves with full enthusiasm to the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Developing advanced productive forces and advanced culture is the basis and prerequisite for realizing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and realizing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people is the purpose and destination of developing advanced productive forces and advanced culture. The people are not only the creators of advanced productive forces and advanced culture, but also the enjoyers of their fruits. This not only puts forward the fundamental requirement of persisting in building the party for the public and governing for the people, but also points out the fundamental way to realize the establishment of the party for the public and governing for the people.

To study and implement the important thought of "Three Represents", we must firmly grasp the idea of building the party for the public and governing for the people. This is the most important indicator of whether one has truly understood and sincerely practiced the important thinking of the "Three Represents."

First, insisting on building the party for the public and governing for the people must be implemented in the work of the party and the country in formulating and implementing principles and policies. Principles and policies guide and promote the overall work of the party and the state. By seizing this link to implement the requirements of building a party for the public good and governing for the people, and insisting on measuring all our decisions by the people's support or disapproval, approval or disapproval, happiness or displeasure, and agreement or disapproval, we can grasp the fundamental starting point and foothold of implementing the important thinking of the "Three Represents" on an overall basis. Adhering to the Party's basic theory, basic line, basic program and basic experience, formulating and implementing various principles and policies for deepening reform, promoting development, and maintaining stability must be based on realizing, safeguarding, and developing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and must coordinate and properly handle the interests of all parties. Party committees and governments at all levels must adhere to the work line of coming from the masses and going to the masses, listen to the voices of the masses, reflect the will of the masses, pool the wisdom of the masses, promote scientific and democratic decision-making, innovate development ideas, and strive to make our principles and policies better reflect the interests of the people, enable advanced productive forces and advanced culture to develop faster and better, and continue to provide tangible benefits to the people.

Second, insisting on building the party for the public and governing for the people must be implemented in the thoughts and actions of leading cadres at all levels. Leading cadres at all levels must firmly establish the idea of ​​serving the people wholeheartedly and the spirit of being sincerely responsible to the people. They should keep the people in mind, think of the people in everything, rely on the people in work, and do everything for the people. We must insist on using power for the people, caring for the people, and seeking benefits for the people, sincerely do practical things for the people, do our best to solve problems, and persist in doing good things. We must always put the interests of the masses first, carefully study the interests of the masses in all aspects of work, care about the sufferings of the masses, understand the emotions of the masses, and strive to use methods such as persuasion and education, demonstration and guidance, and provision of services to do a good job in mass work under the new situation, and unite and lead the masses to continuously move forward. Leading cadres must go deep into the grassroots and the masses, especially to the most difficult places, where the masses have many opinions, and where work cannot be pushed away, and work with the cadres and the masses there to solve problems, resolve conflicts, and open up the work situation. It is necessary to effectively strengthen the construction of party style and political style, improve leadership style and methods, change ideological style and work style, resolutely prevent and overcome formalism and bureaucracy, resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people, and always be connected with the people, breathe together, and share the same destiny. Cadres at all levels must consciously accept supervision and never be divorced from the masses, never seek comfort, and never use power for personal gain.

Third, insisting on building the party for the public and governing for the people must be implemented in the work of caring for the people's production and life. We must persist in building the party for the public good and governing for the people. We cannot stop at slogans and general requirements. We must focus on the most realistic, most concerned, and most direct interests of the people. We must strive to unify the long-term strategic goals of economic and social development with the phased tasks of improving people's living standards, and combine the realization of the people's long-term interests with current interests. The interests of the masses are no small matter. All matters involving the vital interests and practical difficulties of the masses must be handled with all possible strength, no matter how small they are. We must always keep the safety and security of the people at heart, and we must have deep feelings to help solve the various difficulties faced by the people in production and life, especially the practical problems encountered by laid-off workers, rural poor people, urban poor residents and other poor people, and effectively implement the policies and measures of the central government to alleviate poverty for them.

In recent times, the SARS epidemic has occurred in most provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country, posing a serious threat to the health and life safety of the general public. The Party Central Committee and the State Council have made prevention and control work the top priority of all work and have taken a series of decisive measures. The whole country mobilized urgently and launched an arduous struggle against this sudden disease disaster. The Central Committee also issued a timely call to the entire party and the country to adhere to the important task of prevention and control with one hand and unswervingly focus on economic construction with the other, and to work together to win the dual victory of fighting SARS and promoting development. After unremitting efforts, the SARS epidemic has now been effectively controlled, the prevention and control work has achieved major staged victories, and the national economy has maintained a good momentum of rapid growth. This magnificent struggle played a loud and triumphant song that carried forward the great spirit of the Chinese nation, and wrote a magnificent poem that the Chinese people were not afraid of hardships and dared to win. This victory was achieved first and foremost thanks to the united struggle of the entire Party and people of all ethnic groups across the country. In the fight against SARS, party organizations and governments at all levels strengthened their leadership, organized carefully, and worked hard, giving full play to their core and leadership roles; the majority of party members and cadres set an example, took the lead, and withstood tests, and effectively played a vanguard and exemplary role. People of all ethnic groups across the country united as one, united in mass prevention and control, and launched a massive people's war; medical workers and scientific and technological workers at local and military levels rose to the challenge, fought tenaciously and risked their own lives, and formed a powerful commando team to defeat SARS. The international community has also provided strong support and assistance to our country's prevention and control work. Achievements are hard-won, and experience is especially valuable. We must continue to be highly responsible to the people, unswervingly implement regular prevention and control measures, and resolutely prevent the recurrence of the epidemic. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully summarize the valuable experience in the fight against SARS, find shortcomings and weak links in the work and problems exposed in the ideological and style of cadres, effectively strengthen the construction of the public health system and emergency response mechanism, effectively improve relevant work, and effectively change the ideological concepts and work style of cadres. The practice of fighting against SARS has once again proved that as long as we conscientiously practice the important thinking of the "Three Represents", always put the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people first, and effectively do the work of caring for the people well, carefully and practically, we can muster powerful forces to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and continue to push forward reform, opening up, and modernization.

In short, to study and implement the important thought of "Three Represents", we must adhere to the consistency of respecting the laws of social development and respecting the people's dominant position in history, persisting in the consistency of striving for lofty ideals and seeking the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, persisting in the consistency of completing various tasks of the party and realizing the interests of the people, and earnestly and concretely and deeply implement establishing the party for the public and governing for the people in all work.

4. Persist in studying and implementing the important thought of "Three Represents" with a Marxist attitude, use the important thought of "Three Represents" to guide new practice, and strive to continue to develop Marxism in practice

At present, a major political task before the whole party and the people is to learn, implement and implement the important thought of "Three Represents" well, and we must achieve new results in both arming the mind and guiding practice. To this end, we must focus on achieving the following three combinations.

First, adhere to the combination of learning theory and guidance practice. Our party has always attached great importance to theoretical work. The purpose is to use strong theoretical guidance to make the cause of the party and the people continue to move from victory to new victory. The purpose of learning is all about application. Only by combining it with guided practice can theory be learned thoroughly. We must deeply understand the significance of studying and applying scientific theories well in promoting career development, vigorously promote the Marxist style of study that integrates theory with practice, and strive to apply what we learn, promote learning, and learn from each other. All comrades in the party, especially leading cadres, must comprehensively and systematically study the important thought of "Three Represents", truly understand its scientific connotation and spiritual essence, strive to master its scientific attitude and innovative spirit, strive to improve the level of Marxist theory, and continuously enhance the ability to scientifically judge the situation, control the market economy, cope with complex situations, govern according to law, and take overall overall situation. In accordance with the fundamental requirements that the key is to keep pace with the times, the core is to uphold the party's advanced nature, and the essence is to govern for the people, we must closely connect with the reality of reform, opening up and modernization, and the work reality of this region and department, and persist in using the important thinking of "Three Represents" to guide practice, solve problems, and promote work. We must focus closely on achieving the grand goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, study and solve major problems in the reform, development and stability of the region and department, study and solve urgent problems in the production and life of the masses, and study and solve outstanding problems in party building. We must truly implement the important thinking of the "Three Represents" into all work and reflect it in the actions of party organizations at all levels and the majority of party members, so as to become a powerful spiritual driving force to promote new development in the cause and create new situations.

Second, insist on combining the transformation of the objective world with the transformation of the subjective world. The important thought of "Three Represents" is an ideological weapon that guides us to transform the objective world, and it is also an ideological weapon that guides us to transform the subjective world. To study and implement the important thought of "Three Represents", we must deal with both things and people. Getting things right means using the important thinking of "Three Represents" to guide work and promote social practice. For people, it is necessary to use the important thinking of "Three Represents" to arm the mind and guide self-cultivation. If we only deal with things but not people, or only people but not things, we will not be able to truly learn and implement the important thinking of the "Three Represents". If leading cadres do not establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life, and values, and do not resolve the issues of outlook on power, status, and interests, they will not be able to lead the work of transforming the objective world. Nowadays, some party members and cadres have empty minds and declining will, and cannot resist the temptation of money worship, hedonism, and extreme individualism; in some places and departments, serious formalism, bureaucratic style, fraud, extravagance and waste, and various negative corruption phenomena exist. There are many reasons for these problems, but fundamentally speaking, some cadres have relaxed the transformation of their subjective world. In the process of studying and implementing the important thought of "Three Represents", we must closely connect our own ideological reality, strengthen the ideals and beliefs of the Communists, improve the ideological and political level, strengthen moral quality, keep in mind the "two musts", truly transform the subjective world while transforming the objective world, integrate the transformation of the subjective world into the process of transforming the objective world, and use the results of transforming the subjective world to promote the transformation of the objective world.

Third, adhere to the combination of application theory and development theory. Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents" are precious spiritual wealth that our party has gained in its long-term struggle and arduous exploration. They are the fundamental guarantee for the successful advancement of our cause. All comrades in the party must cherish it. In the future journey, no matter what difficulties and risks we encounter, we must unswervingly use Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thinking of "Three Represents" as our guides for action. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is an ever-evolving cause. As we move forward, we will encounter new situations and new topics, and we will also have to deal with various foreseeable and unpredictable risks and challenges. Therefore, we must continue to carry out new practices and new explorations. As Comrade Jiang Zemin pointed out: "To keep the cause of the party and the country from halting, we must first not pause in theory. It is wrong and harmful to deny the scientific nature of Marxism and abandon our ancestors; it is also wrong and harmful to treat Marxism dogmatically. We must adapt to the development of practice, test everything with practice, and use the developing Marxism to guide new practices." All comrades in the party must realize that there are many major issues that need to be further explored and answered in the self-improvement and development of socialism in our country, and there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. For example, how to effectively grasp development, the Party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country; how to further improve the basic economic system in which public ownership is the main body and multiple ownership economies develop together; how to build a sound socialist market economic system; how to take a new industrialization path and coordinate urban and rural economic and social development; how to expand employment and promote re-employment; how to further deepen the reform of the income distribution system and improve the social security system; how to participate in international economic and technological cooperation and competition on a larger scale, in wider fields and at a higher level; and how to promote the entire society on the path of production and development. how to better realize the organic unity of adhering to the leadership of the party, the people being the masters of the country and governing the country according to law; how to mobilize all positive factors in the broadest and most complete way to continuously add new strength to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; how to achieve the goal of building a civilized development path with a prosperous life and good ecology in the new era. Under historical conditions, we must continuously consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, how to carry forward and cultivate the national spirit, how to reform and improve the party's leadership and governance methods, how to comprehensively promote the new great project of party building with a focus on strengthening the party's governance capabilities, etc. The important thought of "Three Represents" is not only the fundamental guideline for us to promote practical innovation, but also a new starting point for us to deepen theoretical exploration. We must persist in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, constantly studying new situations and solving new problems through the combination of theory and practice, and consciously liberating ideological understanding from the shackles of outdated concepts, practices and systems, liberating ourselves from erroneous and dogmatic understandings of Marxism, liberating ourselves from the shackles of subjectivism and metaphysics, and constantly making discoveries, creations, and advances.

The majority of theoretical workers shoulder important responsibilities in the research, publicity and implementation of theory. Only when theoretical research is closely integrated with the requirements of social development, the rich and colorful life and the practice of the people can it have strong vitality and influence and realize its own social value. The grand cause of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way provides a broad stage for theoretical workers to display their talents. It is hoped that the majority of theoretical workers will conscientiously study and publicize the important thinking of the "Three Represents", conscientiously study the major theoretical and practical issues raised by reform, opening up and modernization, and continue to make new achievements in understanding the world, inheriting civilization, innovating theories, advising and educating people, and serving society. Intellectuals on all fronts and in all fields must connect their own thoughts and work realities, consciously study and implement the important thinking of the "Three Represents", and constantly create new achievements.

Comrades! At present, a new upsurge in studying and implementing the important thought of "Three Represents" is rising across the country. Party committees at all levels must follow the requirements of the "Notice of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the New Upsurge in the Study and Implementation of the Important Thought of "Three Represents" in the Whole Party", effectively strengthen leadership, combine the work realities of the region, department and unit, achieve careful organization, careful arrangements, timely guidance, strengthen supervision, and continue to deepen the study and implementation activities. It is necessary to adopt effective, colorful methods and methods, strive to be close to reality and the masses, and strive to improve the effectiveness of learning and implementation. It is necessary to combine the new upsurge in studying and implementing the important thought of "Three Represents" with the educational activities on the advanced nature of Communist Party members. Leading organs and leading cadres at all levels must set an example, take the lead in learning and applying, and strive to promote the whole society to consciously study and implement the important thinking of "Three Represents" and unite as one to strive for the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society.

Finally, I wish this seminar a success. (End)
