In the speech at the conference celebrating the 100 th anniversary of the founding of the Party,General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "over the past 100 years,all the struggles,sacrifices and creations made by the Chinese Communist Party unitedly leading the Chinese people have boiled down to one theme: realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.The period of the Democratic Revolution was the initial stage of the century-long struggle of the Communist Party of China for national rejuvenation.In the process of revolution and construction,the Communist Party of China gradually formed a systematic,complete and scientific ideology of national rejuvenation and successfully promoted it in practice,eventually achieving the great victory of the New Democratic Revolution and creating the fundamental social conditions for national rejuvenation.The Communist Party of China takes "seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" as its original mission,which is determined not only by the class nature of the proletarian party,but also due to the objective need to continue the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation since modern times.The Party’s thought on national rejuvenation is not the water without a source or a tree without roots,but has inherent reasons for its formation.It has the same root as the Marxist-Leninist theory on the realization of national rejuvenation in backward countries,which is essentially the persistence and development of the Marxism-Leninism theory of national revival.It is the profound accumulation of the glorious history of ancient China and the genetic inheritance of the splendid culture,and the absorption and transcendence of the rejuvenation concepts and ideas of the Chinese nation since modern times.It is proposed on the real national conditions of China since modern times,with specific theoretical basis,historical foundation,ideological origin and historical background in its formation.The period of democratic revolution is not only the key period for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation to move forward,but also the key period for the initiation,formation,development and maturity of the Party’s thought of national rejuvenation.The main content of the Party’s thought of national rejuvenation in this period can be summarized as follows: national rejuvenation is the common development and prosperity of all ethnic groups in China,and the all-round rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the whole field and region,which makes the Chinese nation stand on its own among the nations of the world.National rejuvenation should not only always adhere to the ideal pursuit of communism,but also achieve national independence,national prosperity,and people’s happiness in the development of the times,and always rely on our own strength,inherit and develop the spirit of self-reliance and arduous struggle.To achieve national rejuvenation,we must always use Marxism as a theoretical weapon,adhere to the sinicization of Marxism,create a sinicized Marxism,and adhere to the guiding position of Mao Zedong Thought.We must always regard the Communist Party of China as the core of leadership for national rejuvenation,the masses of the people as the main force for national rejuvenation,and youth as the vanguard of national rejuvenation.The realization of national rejuvenation must go through two revival stages:the new democratic revolution and the socialist revolution,the task of the former stage is to overthrow the rule of imperialism and feudalism and realize national liberation and national independence;the task of the latter stage is to develop the productive forces on the basis of the completion of the socialist revolution,build China into a modern and powerful socialist country,and realize national rejuvenation and national prosperity.In order to achieve national rejuvenation,it is necessary to implement democratic politics,vigorously develop the economy,and promote cultural rejuvenation.This is not only the important content of national rejuvenation,but also the strategic condition for achieving national rejuvenation.The successful practice of the Party’s national rejuvenation thought during the democratic revolution established the Party’s leading position in the cause of national rejuvenation,laid the foundation for fulfilling the mission of rejuvenating the Chinese nation,developed the Marxist-Leninist theory of national rejuvenation,and consolidated the ideological foundation of the dream of great rejuvenation of the contemporary Chinese nation.The initiation,formation and development of the Party’s thought of national rejuvenation during the democratic revolution clearly embodies the characteristics of the unity of nationality and the world,history and the times,long-term and stage,inheritance and transcendence,and so on.Under the severe and complicated revolutionary situation,the Party’s national rejuvenation thought successfully accepted the test of history.The Chinese Communists,represented by Mao Zedong,have formed valuable historical experience in the process of practicing the national rejuvenation thought.In the new era,the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has a bright future ahead,but it also faces unprecedented risks and challenges.Systematically studying and summarizing the advanced strategies and historical experiences adopted in the process of forming and practicing the Party’s ideology of national rejuvenation during the democratic revolutionary period to cope with various risks and tests has important enlightenment for us to carry forward the past and the future under the leadership of the Party in the new era,and to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. |
