The people have faith, the country has strength, and the nation has hope.
——Xi Jinping
The wheel of history rolls forward, and the tide of the timesKomiks 1960 witch cloth draw is vast. 2018 is an extremely special year, and it is worth remembering. Babaylan 1990 cloth drawThis year marks the 200th anniversary of Marx’s birth; this year marks the 170th anniversary of the publication of the “Communist Manifesto” written by Marx and Engels; this year marks the 40th anniversary of my country’s reform and opening up. It is not accidental that these numbers are superimposed together. Vigorously search for the roots, and see the source of the Lantern. It inspires contemporary communists to keep thinking: Where do we come from, where are we now, and where will we go? Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out that when everything moves forward, we must not forget the path we have walked; no matter how far we go or how bright the future we have, we must not forget the past we have walked and why we set out. This is the perspective of history. The historical perspective is not only a “look backward” perspective, but also a “look forward” perspective. “Looking backward” is to summarize experience; “Looking forward” is to grasp the direction. Therefore, facing the future and facing the challenges, all comrades in the Party must not forget their original aspirations and keep their mission in mind. We must adhere to the guiding role of Marxism, because the guiding ideology is the spiritual banner of a political party; we must adhere to the close integration of the basic principles of Marxism with the reality of contemporary China and the characteristics of the times, promote theoretical innovation and practical innovation, and continuously push forward the sinicization of Marxism. This is because standing at the intersection of history and reality, we aim to extend it from history.Analysis of reality is full of hope for the future in reality.
1. The taste of faith and the characteristics of truth
General Secretary Xi Jinping has praised the story told in the article “The taste of faith” (recorded on the People’s Daily on November 27, 2012). This article only has more than 1,100 words. By telling a few short stories, it explains the theme of Communists seeking truth, adhering to faith, and realizing the ideals of Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw in the past century. Among them, the most vivid and unforgettable thing is that under the inspiration and guidance of communist beliefs, Chen Wangdao was immersed in it and devoted himself to translate the “Communist Manifesto”, and even ate the ink as brown sugar without realizing it, and even felt that the ink was sweeter than sugar.
“A ghost, the ghost of communism, wanders around Europe…” The Communist Manifesto, which is immersed in the scene and heard the sound, portrays two energetic and ambitious young statues for us. This is the founder of Marxism Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw, the pioneer of German intellectual youth, Marx, who was 30 years old at the time and Engels, who was two years younger than him.
In June 1847, the world’s first proletarian party, the Communist Alliance, was established. In February 1848, the “Communist Manifesto” written by Marx and Engels for the Communist League was published. These two events marked the rise of the international communist movement and the founding of Marxism. The Communist Manifesto is not only the foundation work of Marxism, but also a small encyclopedia of Marxism; it is not only the first “comprehensive theoretical and practical party program” of proletarian parties, but also the first programmatic document in the history of the international communist movement, but also an immortal monument erected by Marx and Engels in the history of world socialism and communist movements. The first German version of the “Communist Manifesto” is a dark green cover without the author’s signature. From it, we can still smell the intoxicating ink fragrance drifting from time and space 170 years ago.
Marx and Engels pointed out: “The true content of all systems in the ages is formed by the needs of the period when these systems were produced.” The “Communist Manifesto” not only reveals the basic contradictions and various disadvantages of European and American capitalist society in the first half of the 19th century, but also contains rich content./a>Deep scientific truths and wonderful and glorious ideals of future society.
The Communist Manifesto, a booklet translated into Chinese for about 28,000 words, has infinite and eternal charm, and is profound and colorful. So far, the “Communist Manifesto”, a beautiful but not erotic, elegant but not lonely work, has been translated into more than 200 kinds of texts and published more than 1,000 times. In the history of human thought, there have been many masterpieces, but no book has been so widely spread that it has touched the hearts of the vast majority of people in the world; no book has interpreted the laws of human historical development so accurately and profoundly, and has such a huge and far-reaching influence on the development process of human society. From 1848 to the present, a full 170 years have passed, and the world has undergone and is still undergoing unimaginable major and new changes.
Marxism is a profound theoretical system and value system, with extremely distinctive and rich characteristics. It profoundly reveals the general laws of the development of nature, human society and thinking, and points out the direction for the progress of human civilization; it adheres to the position of safeguarding the interests of the people and realizing the liberation of the people, and takes the realization of human freedom and comprehensive development, that is, the liberation of all mankind as its mission, reflects the beautiful vision of mankind for an ideal society; it reveals the essence, internal connection and development laws of things, is a “great tool of understanding”, and a powerful ideological weapon for people to observe the world and analyze problems; it has a distinct practical character, and is not only committed to scientifically understand the world, but also actively Babaylan 1990 cloth draw to change the world.
Marxism, although it was born in the 19th century, did not stay in the 19th century; although it was born in Europe, it spread all over the world. Whether it is the attacks and slander of the hostile person, the questioning and criticism of the misunderstanding person, or the division and distortion of the dogmatists, it cannot block the dazzling light of its truth. In the history of the international communist movement, Marxism gradually developed from one of the many thoughts that influenced the proletariat to a dominant guide to action. Marxism and communism have become the common beliefs of communists all over the world, including the Chinese Communists. In the history of human thought, no theory has had such a broad and far-reaching impact on the progress of human civilization like Marxism, and it still has strong vitality to date. Both history and reality have proved that the scientific theories of Marxism have become more and more innovative after all.
2. The moisturization and rich nourishment of faith
“The October Revolution brought us Marxism-Leninism with a cannon.” Mao Zedong once said: “In 1920, three books were particularly deeply engraved in my heart, establishing my faith in MarxismHope. “These three books are “The Communist Manifesto”, “Class Struggle”Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw and “History of Socialism”. Deng Xiaoping also said: “My introductory teachers are “The Communist Manifesto” and “Communism ABC”. “The Communist Manifesto is the starting point of the faith of the Chinese Communists. Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw As a result, it influenced and inspired generations of Chinese Communists to work tirelessly and sacrifice heroically for their faith.
MarkCinema 1950 witch cloth drawThe spread of ideologicalism from the West to the East and into China, which not only triggered profound changes in Chinese civilization, but also went through a process of gradual sinicization, that is, landing, taking root, blooming and bearing fruit in China. In the various histories of revolution, construction, and reformBabaylan 1990 cloth draw Period, the Communist Party of China insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the specific reality of China, used Marxist standpoints, views, and methods to study and solve various major theoretical and practical problems, and continuously promoted the sinicization of Marxism. Marx liked to retell a famous saying by the German poet Heine, and used it to warn the world: “What I sow is the dragon seed, but what I harvest is the flea. “This is Heine ridiculed those who simply imitated the style of his poetry. Mao Zedong once vividly pointed out: “We must use the methods of Marx, Eren, Leslieus and Sri Lanka to China and create something new in China. Only general theories cannot be used in China’s reality. But if the theory is applied to reality, use the Marxist standpoint and method to solve the Chinese problem and create something new, then it can be used. “Solve the Chinese problem” and “create something new” are the basic contents of the sinicization of Marxism. The logic of history, practice, and theoretical logic of the Chinese Communists is to embark on a correct path of “combination”, and founded major theoretical achievements such as Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of “Three Represents”, the Scientific Outlook on Development and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, guiding the Party and the people to achieve historic achievements in revolution, construction and reform. In the long journey of struggle, the Chinese Communists were deeply harmed by dogmatism and knew the value and power of “combination” and innovation.
Mao Zedong pointed out: “From 1950 to 1957, it can be basically said that it was copied, that is, copying the Soviet Union. This copying is necessary, which is equivalent to writing. In writing, you have always been concerned with copying the calligraphy. How can you do it if you don’t copy it?Therefore, we cannot say that the copying of the calligraphy from 1950 to 1957 is wrong. After copying the calligraphy, you have to leave the calligraphy and write independently. Moreover, those who write cursive characters must first write regular script before they can write cursive script. They cannot write cursive script in one go. It seems that there must be a period of learning from foreign countries. Now I have to study abroad, and I can’t say that I don’t even copy any books now. People’s books are the right things, but we don’t have books, so we have to copy this part. You have to obtain the sutras for ten thousand years. You have to take my sutras and I have to take your sutras. Absoluteness cannot be done. The so-called absoluteness is a metaphysical view. All copying and no copying are metaphysical. “On the basis of reflection, Mao Zedong proposed to “learning from the Soviet Union” and explore China’s own path of socialist construction. In fact, this opened the curtain for the “second combination” of Marxism and China’s specific reality.
In 1982, Deng Xiaoping pointed out in his opening speech of the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw “Combining the universal truth of Marxism with the specific reality of our country, going our own way, and building socialism with Chinese characteristics is the basic conclusion we have drawn from summarizing long-term historical experience. “As a result, socialism with Chinese characteristics has become the theme of all the party’s theory and practice since the reform and opening up.
Xi Jinping pointed out: “‘If the shoes fit your feet, you will know if you wear them yourself’. If a country’s development path is appropriate, only the people of this country have the most say. ” Similarly, we cannot “wear the right shoe on the left foot—to make mistakes”.
Today, we can say that in the vast land of more than 9.6 million square kilometers in China, the Chinese Communists have become the descendants of Marxism with their wisdom and beliefs.
3. The power of faith and eternal glory
The power of faith lies in practicing, and the practice of faith creates eternal glory.
Mao Zedong pointed out in “On Practice”: “Cinema 1950 witch clothes drawIf you have knowledge, you have to participate in the practice of changing reality. If you need to know the taste of pears, you have to change the pears and stutter. …All true knowledge comes from direct experience. ”
Babaylan 1990 cloth drawDeng Xiaoping said in an interview with an American reporter in his later years: “I am a Marxist. I have always followed the basic principles of Marxism. Marxism, another word called communism. We did revolutions in the past, conquered the world, and established the People’s Republic of China, because of this belief and this ideal.” Xi Jinping pointed out that good ideological and political work should be like salt, but we cannot just eat salt. The best way is to dissolve salt into various foods and absorb it naturally.
The same is true for people, and its power lies in subtly integrating into people’s words and deeds. Drawing the power of faith from the taste of faith, Xi Jinping has always adhered to the concept of “The way of the great way is for the public”; “Don’t forget the original intention and continue to move forward.” Facing problems head-on and not being afraid of difficulties is the character of faith.
Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New EraKomiks 1960 witch cloth drawI want to systematically answer the major issue of the times from the combination of theory and practice, and how to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, thus becoming the latest achievement in the sinicization of Marxism. This means that scientific socialism has brought great vitality to China in the 21st century, held high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the world, and also contributed Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to solving human problems.
Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is in line with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of “Three Represents” and the Scientific Outlook on Development. The so-called “one lineage” has the essence of: (1) They have a common world outlook and methodology, namely dialectical materialism and historical materialism; Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw (2) They have common ideals, beliefs and goals, namely socialism and communism; (3) They have basic principles that they jointly abide by, namely objective laws of nature, human society and the development of human thinking.
Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era inherits the “pulse” of Marxism’s life and realizes the keeping pace with the times. For example, it insists on the original heart and mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation;It adheres to the people-centered development philosophy; it adheres to analyzing the changes in the main social contradictions based on the contradiction between productivity and production relations and judging that socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era; it adheres to the close connection and mutual connection between great struggles, great projects, great causes, and great dreams, and coordinates the promotion of the “five-in-one” overall layout and coordinates the promotion of the “four comprehensive” strategic layout; it adheres to the socialist core value system, cultivates and practices the socialist core values; it adheres to man and nature as a community of life, and builds a modernization of harmonious coexistence between mankind and nature; it adheres to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and builds a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, clean and beautiful, etc. As contemporary Chinese Marxism and Marxism in the first century, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era has written a brilliant chapter in the history of Marxism’s development, and has increasingly demonstrated its historical status and great significance in the world socialist movement.
What is the deepest root of the great power of the Communists’ career? Comrade Xi Jinping repeatedly emphasized: “Ideals and beliefs are the spiritual ‘calcium’ of Communists. Without ideals and beliefs and if they are not firm in their ideals and beliefs, they will have ‘calcium deficiency’ and will have ‘chondrosis’.” This conclusion introduces the life element “calcium” into the field of political life, highly summarizes the importance of firm political beliefs and ideals, scientifically analyzes the serious harm of lack of faith, and profoundly explains the great role of strengthening ideals and belief education in unswervingly striving to realize the common ideals of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the lofty ideals of communism.
History cannot be fabricated, but it does not prevent us from making rational inferences. If Marx was still alive, he would definitely express the infinite emotion of “I have been confident in my life for two hundred years, and the storm of the five continents”, and would like to see the great changes in the world today; if the Communist Manifesto did not deconstruct the capitalist society and the construction of the ideal society in the future, the world would definitely not be as colorful as today, but would present a different look like “the earth is still not flat”. If there was no reform and opening up, the Chinese dream of realizing socialist modernization and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation would still be pushed to the distant future, and we are in the current era and whenThe confidence in the world today is even more unreasonable.
A person has firm and correct ideals and beliefs, he can work tirelessly and pursue persistently; a country and nation have firm and correct ideals and beliefs, he can overcome difficulties and overcome difficulties. If China wants to develop, it will not work without firm belief in Marxism, nor will it work without firm belief in socialism. Without faith and belief, there is no charisma, no cohesion, and nothing. What is the password for China to move forward? In the final analysis, it depends on the power of faith!
It is precisely because of the power of faith that we can say with confidence and pride that today we are closer, more confident and capable than at any time in history to achieve the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. China in the new era is approaching the world stage with an uplifting attitude. It is precisely because of the power of faith that we can say with confidence and pride that in the new journey in the future, what the Chinese Communists contribute to the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and to the whole world and all mankind will surely be the fragrance of red roses and nectar!
