Communist Party of China poised to move forward
China: Ninety years after its formation, the Communist Party
of China (CPC) has grown from an over 50-member revolutionary Party to
an 80-million-strong political party ruling over the world’s most
populous country.
The CPC has strived forward over the past 90 years, and it will
always do so in the future.

anniversary. AFP |
“The Chinese nation faces its greatest peril,” which is a line in the
national anthem, showed the historic situation under which the CPC began
to strive forward. None of the Westernization Movement initiated in the
latter part of the 19th Century, the Reform Movement of 1898 and the
Revolution of 1911 had succeeded to end China’s peril.
However, the CPC accomplished three major tasks in 90 years, which
are national independence and the liberation of the people, the
establishment of the basic system of socialism, and blazing the trail of
socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Chinese nation
The CPC turned an impoverished and backward China into the world’s
second largest economy.
The CPC has shown its faith and strength when striving forward in the
90 years.
History has proved that only the CPC can save China. With lofty
goals, confidence in victory and fearing neither bloodshed nor
sacrifice, the CPC is the vanguard of the working class and the Chinese
nation. The Chinese people followed the CPC in the cause of liberation
and socialism, which is their choice and the only road for China’s
development.
The current situation has proved that socialism with Chinese
characteristics, founded by the Chinese people under the CPC’s
leadership, is a path which is suited to China’s conditions and complies
with the world trend.
The CPC, practical and realistic, is willing to emancipate the mind
and keep pace with the times, which makes it able to go through
difficult situations and overcome challenges.
Bright future
The future will prove that the CPC will retain its vitality, and will
lead the people in creating better lives. The CPC gains all its strength
from the people, and it takes the people’s most fundamental interests as
the starting point and the object of its work. Such a party will have a
bright future with the support of the people.
China is facing major opportunities and severe challenges at the same
time.
The challenges include a long-term rule of China, deepened reform and
opening up, improvement of market economy and profound changes in
domestic and international conditions.
The CPC will have to stay alert, get prepared for unexpected
development, adapt to changes, conciliate conflicts and seize
opportunities. The country’s future, the nation’s fate and people’s
well-being depend on it. So, the CPC must strive forward and never
relax.
“Idle boast the strong pass is a wall of iron, with firm strides we
are crossing its summit,” late Chinese leader Mao Zedong said in a poem,
Loushan Pass - to the tune of Yi Qin E.
The CPC should strive forward by pooling the strength of the people.
All CPC members and people from various ethnic groups should rally
closely round the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as
General Secretary, and pool strength of the most extensive social forces
to achieve the great cause of rejuvenating the Chinese nation. United as
one, the nation will not be intimidated by any danger or puzzled by any
disruption, and will surely weather through various difficulties since
the unity of will is an impregnable stronghold.
Scientific development
The CPC should strive forward by fortifying its conviction on
scientific development.
The CPC should promote unswervingly the country’s scientific
development by adjusting its concept, innovating patterns and improving
the quality of development so as to promote sound and rapid economic and
social development and push forward the great cause of building
socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The CPC should strive forward by bearing in heart the belief that it
exercises governance for the people.
Exercising governance for the people is an inevitable requirement for
CPC as the party is built for the public interests.
The CPC should adhere to the mass line and the basic concept of
“everything for the masses and all depend on the masses,” so as to
maintain close ties with the people and always be a public servant for
the society.
The CPC should strive forward by maintaining its courage to reform
and innovate.
To ensure the CPC is always at the forefront of the times and with
great vitality, it must continue to emancipate the mind, seek truth from
facts, be brave to forge ahead, and enhance its knowledge on the rules
of CPC governance, building of socialism as well as the social
development of the human beings.
Further, the CPC should strive forward by cooperating with other
countries for common prosperity.
New starting point
Seeking peace, development and cooperation has been the irreversible
tide in the world today. China cannot develop without interacting with
the rest of the world, and the world’s development also needs China.
Cooperation with other countries will offer more opportunities for
the development of both China and other countries in the world.
“If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all
work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down...our happiness will belong
to millions, our deeds will live on quietly but perpetually at work...”
Karl Marx once said.
With 90 years’ arduous efforts, the CPC has dramatically changed the
outlook of old China and rewritten the fate of the Chinese nation.
With the CPC’s 90th founding anniversary as a new starting point, the
future of the Chinese nation will only be more glorious.
