One hundred years of wind and rain, one hundred years of brilliance. From the "little red ship" to the "grand ship", our Party has made extraordinary achievements. Standing at a new historical starting point, the Communist Party of China, with a deep sense of responsibility for its mission and a strong sense of responsibility for history, has led the Chinese people on a new journey to fully build a modern socialist country and worked tirelessly for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Mission on the shoulder, never stop

In the 100 years since the founding of the Communist Party of China, the world has changed dramatically, and China has undergone earth-shaking changes. Our Party has shouldered the historic responsibility courageously, worked hard in the course of exploration, and forged ahead in the course of pioneering work. It has scored remarkable achievements and delivered an outstanding result.

The wheel of history rolls on. In the past 100 years, our Party has written a glorious chapter in the development of the Chinese nation. Looking ahead, there is still a long way to go. The CPC's original aspiration and mission is to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Guided by this original aspiration and mission, our Party rallied and led the people in completing the New-Democratic Revolution and building a New China in which the people are the masters of the country. We completed the socialist revolution, established the basic socialist system, advanced socialist construction, and brought about the most extensive and profound social changes in the history of the Chinese nation. We carried out a great new revolution of reform and opening up, blazed a path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and enabled China to catch up with The Times with great strides. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the cause of the Party and the country has made historic achievements and undergone historic changes, and we are closer than at any time in history to realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

As the saying goes, "Half of the journey is ninety miles." The closer you get to the goal, the harder the task becomes. Living up to our historic mission and bearing the great trust of The Times, our Party has been far-sighted and considered the situation. It drew the grand blueprint for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and displayed the bright prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Now, the goals and tasks of the 13th Five-Year Plan have been accomplished. Great historic achievements have been made in completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects. A new major step has been taken in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This is a great victory achieved by the whole Party and the people under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. On the basis of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, we will follow the two-step strategy and basically achieve socialist modernization by 2035. To build China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful by the middle of this century.

To embark on a new journey to build a modern socialist country in all respects, we must accurately grasp the new stage of development. At the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, it was stated that after completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieving the first centenary goal, we must build on the momentum and embark on a new journey towards the second centenary goal of building a modern socialist country in all respects. This marks a new stage of China's development. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that the new stage of development is a stage in the primary stage of socialism. It is also a stage in which, after decades of accumulation, we have reached a new starting point. The new stage of development is a new stage in which our Party has led the people in making historic strides: they have stood up, become rich and become strong.

Our Party is committed to the lasting cause of the Chinese nation. Our journey is ahead and our mission is on our shoulders. As a big Party that has gone through a glorious course of one hundred years, today's historical responsibility is to shoulder the mission of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and constantly create new great undertakings and make new achievements.

Follow the trend and lead The Times

Human history is like a raging river, the trend of The Times is the historical development characteristics and development trend of human society formed in a certain period. The trend of our times is surging forward, showing the general trend of world development and reflecting the light of human civilization. Our Party was born in response to the trend of The Times, and has grown stronger in the course of historical development. It has always resonated with The Times. To better fulfill its historic mission, our Party must constantly adapt to The Times, keep up with the trend of The Times, and keep pace with The Times. Only in this way can we lead the ship of history to brave the wind and waves and forge ahead with high courage.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that the Party's historic decision to pursue reform and opening up was based on a deep grasp of the future of the Party and the country, on a profound review of the experience in socialist revolution and development, on a deep insight into the trend of The Times, and on a deep understanding of the expectations and needs of the people. Only by conforming to the trend of The Times, accurately recognizing changes, scientifically responding to changes, and actively seeking changes, can we keep pace with The Times. This is a valuable lesson we have learned from reform and opening up.

The world today is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, and the great renewal of the Chinese nation is at a crucial stage. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that we are now living in a time when there is more urgency for people to wander in the middle of a ship, and when people reach the middle of a mountain road, it becomes steeper. We are living in a time when progress becomes more difficult and dangerous, and if we do not advance, we will fall back. Therefore, the CPC's responsibility is not only reflected in the past 100 years, but also reflected in the journey ahead. It is not only reflected in the past to catch up with The Times and resonance with The Times, but also reflected in a more scientific understanding of the current era, grasp the trend of the future, and play a positive role in leading The Times and promoting the trend. This is the historic responsibility of the century-old Grand Party.

Such a sense of historical responsibility requires us to have a keen grasp of the trend of historical development, a deep understanding of the underlying laws underlying the phenomenon, a correct development strategy, and scientific decision-making, so as to better uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics. Such a historical responsibility requires us to cherish and carry forward the splendid civilization created by the Chinese nation with an open mind and an open mind, and at the same time draw on the beneficial fruits of other civilizations. This historical responsibility requires that we always maintain the spirit of innovation, place innovation at the core of China's overall development, firmly implement the strategy of innovation-driven development, and constantly promote innovation in theory, system, culture and other fields, so as to lead the Chinese nation into a better future.

Meet the challenges and forge ahead

The road ahead, there are calm, there are choppy. The confidence and responsibility of the century-old CPC are not only reflected in its indomitable spirit in calm times, but also in its calm, scientific decision-making in the face of risks and challenges, and its ability to guide the ship of history toward victory.

As we enter a new stage of development, we are faced with a grim and complex international situation and daunting tasks of reform, development and stability at home. At present and for some time to come, China is prone to various kinds of conflicts and risks, and all kinds of foreseeable and unforeseeable risk factors are on the rise. This requires us to be more mindful of potential dangers, think in a bottom-line manner, and be ready to deal with ever more complex and difficult situations. At the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, a comprehensive plan was made for addressing security issues such as the economy, finance, cyberspace, food, energy, ecology, nuclear, biological, and overseas interests. We need to strengthen strategic, systematic and forward-looking research and planning, think deeply about the major risks in China's economic and social development in the coming period, and think deeply about how to prevent and defuse them.

China's reform, development and stability cannot be achieved without a sound external environment. However, this external environment is not entirely dependent on China. It is subject to many external factors. The global COVID-19 epidemic continues to spread, protectionism and unilateralism are on the rise, sluggish world economic growth continues, and instability and uncertainty are on the rise. How to effectively deal with these complex problems is a major test for our Party.

In the course of its century-long journey, our Party has successfully dealt with various risks and challenges, and has repeatedly called on Party members and officials to withstand the "four big tests" and overcome the "four dangers". General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that in the face of the changeable international situation, the complex and sensitive surrounding environment, and the arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, we must always keep high vigilance, including both "black swan" and "gray rhino" incidents. We should not only have the forehand to prevent risks, but also have the wisdom to deal with and resolve risks and challenges. We should not only fight a well-prepared war to guard against and resist risks, but also fight a strategic and active war to turn dangers into opportunities.

To meet these challenges, we need to further improve the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the system of national governance, and use the power of institutions to respond to risks and challenges. With a deep understanding of the law of historical development, we have made scientific judgments and adopted precise policies in the face of challenges, kept to the right direction, and kept forging ahead.

Self-revolution, always keep the original intention

The key to the success of China's affairs lies in the Party. It is a big test for our century-old Party to maintain its advanced nature and purity and to be responsible to the people and history under the conditions of long-term governance.

In January 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the opening session of a seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress that "the rise and fall of the Party can be learned by learning from history. It is not easy to be prudent in times of prosperity and maintain the spirit of striving for governance as in the early days. It is not easy to be frugal and restrained and respectful in the end. It is not easy to govern officials strictly and prevent extravagance during the peacetime. To always be the vanguard of The Times, the backbone of the nation, and a Marxist ruling party, our Party must always be competent." Only upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the great social revolution at the same time, adhere to the party to party, the governing party, unswervingly promote the revolution, the party unceasingly self purification, self-improvement, self innovation, self-improvement, and constantly strengthen the party's political leadership, ideological driving force, mass organization, social power, We will ensure that our Party remains the strong core of leadership for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

From this point of view, the courage to self-revolution is also a kind of historical responsibility, is an important embodiment of the Party's historical responsibility. On its new journey, our Party must continue to lead the great social revolution with inward self-revolution, and build itself into a vibrant Marxist ruling party that is always at the forefront of The Times, wholeheartedly supported by the people, has the courage to carry out self-revolution, and can withstand all kinds of storms. This is not only the objective requirement for our Party to lead the people in carrying out the great social revolution, but also the internal requirement for our Party to strengthen its self-construction as a Marxist ruling party.

The celebration of the centenary of the Party and reflection on the Party's historical responsibility have given us many profound enlightenment. We must always bear in mind the founding aspiration and mission of the Party and the historic responsibility of the century-old Grand Party, constantly improve the Party's leadership and governance skills, and make new leaps forward on our new journey to build a modern socialist country in all respects.
