1840 After the Opium War broke out, China gradually became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the Chinese nation was regarded as the "sick man of East Asia". Faced with the "once-in-a-thousand-year change", countless people with lofty ideals have made arduous explorations to strive for national independence, people's liberation, and achieve national prosperity and people's prosperity. However, the successive failures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Westernization Movement, the Reform Movement of 1898, the Boxer Rebellion and the Revolution of 1911 show that it is difficult to save the country and revive the nation by the old-style peasant resistance struggle, the so-called self-improvement movement carried out by feudal bureaucrats and various ideas and theories imported from the West.
After all roads failed, China's advanced elements chose Marxism and gathered under the banner of socialism. Since then, the sacred mission of national rejuvenation has fallen on the shoulders of China's * * * production party. For more than 90 years, several generations of China * * * party member have closely relied on the people, gone through hardships and paid various prices. First, it opened up the revolutionary road of encircling cities with rural areas and finally won national victory, won the victory of the new-democratic revolution, realized national independence and people's liberation, and opened a new chapter in China's history; Then he carried out socialist transformation, established the basic socialist system, successfully realized the deepest and greatest social change in the history of China, and laid the fundamental political premise and institutional foundation for all the development and progress of contemporary China; More importantly, China's * * * production party's consistent relay exploration initiated and developed Socialism with Chinese characteristics, created the "China miracle" in the history of human social development, and fundamentally changed the future and destiny of the people of China and the Chinese nation.
"Looking back, I saw my road, broad and green." The long river of history is often calm when you look back, and only when you look back can you appreciate its grandeur. China has changed from being divided, poor and backward to being united, progressive, prosperous and strong, which has reversed the fate of a nation's decline for a century and made the Chinese nation stand in the east of the world with unprecedented grandeur. This experience of struggle has also been forged into a firm belief: only socialism can save China; Only Socialism with Chinese characteristics can develop China.
The key to Socialism with Chinese characteristics's development of China lies in adhering to the basic principles of scientific socialism and endowing it with distinctive China characteristics according to the conditions of the times, and deepening the understanding of the ruling law of the * * * production party, the law of socialist construction and the law of human social development with a brand-new vision. From the combination of theory and practice, it systematically answers the fundamental questions of what kind of socialism China wants to build and how to build socialism, so that our country can develop rapidly and people's living standards can be improved rapidly.
At the new historical starting point, to uphold and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must adhere to and expand the Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road, adhere to and enrich Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system, and adhere to and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. They are the fundamental achievements of the struggle, creation and accumulation of the Party and the people for more than 90 years, and they are the way to achieve, the guide to action and the fundamental guarantee for building Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which must be cherished, persevered and continuously developed. They are unified in Socialism with Chinese characteristics's practice, and * * * has become a great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which has been endowed with new connotations in the new development of theory and practice, making it more and more dazzling.
"After all this, everything in the world is difficult." Now, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and we are more confident and capable of achieving this goal than at any time in history. As long as we hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, be firm in our road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence, and be unwavering, unremitting, tenacious and persistent, we will certainly be able to build a well-off society in an all-round way when the China * * * Production Party is established in 100, and a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious socialist modern country when the new China is established in 100.
