The whole party should profoundly understand and grasp this great mission and task from the course of China's arduous struggle since modern times and the complex environmental conditions it is currently facing, and strive to write a new chapter in building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.
To profoundly grasp the mission and tasks of the Party in the new era and new journey, we must correctly recognize and understand the connotation of Chinese-style modernization. Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, which has the common characteristics of the modernization of all countries and Chinese characteristics based on its own national conditions. Chinese modernization is the modernization of a huge population, the modernization of common prosperity for all the people, the modernization of the harmony between material civilization and spiritual civilization, the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and the modernization of peaceful development. This is an unprecedented exploration and innovation by our party and mankind. Her success will completely rewrite the map of the modern world, and the impact is extremely huge and far-reaching; It will also create a new form of human civilization and provide a new choice for mankind to realize modernization.
Building a modern socialist country in an all-round way is a great and arduous undertaking with a bright future and a long way to go. We must fully grasp the new historical characteristics of the development of the cause of the Party and the country, have a deep insight into the evolution of the situation at home and abroad in the midst of the great changes in the world in a century, and firmly grasp the following major principles on the road of building a strong country and national rejuvenation: upholding and strengthening the party's overall leadership, adhering to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, adhering to the people-centered development philosophy, persisting in deepening reform and opening up, and persisting in carrying forward the spirit of struggle. These major principles are organically integrated and intrinsically consistent with the Chinese characteristics and essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization, and the principles are closely related to each other, pointing out the key, path, position, driving force and requirements for us to promote Chinese-style modernization.
The mission guides the direction, and the mission leads the future. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has made a "two-step" strategic arrangement for building China into a great modern socialist country in an all-round way. Today, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and have more confidence and ability than at any other time in history, and at the same time, we must be prepared to make more arduous and arduous efforts. The more than 99 million Communist Party members should unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", and achieve the "two safeguards", keep in mind the original mission, anchor the goals and tasks, carry forward the great spirit of party building, comprehensively improve political ability, spirit of responsibility, professional quality, and fighting ability, and forge ahead, work hard, seize the day, and hand over new and better answers to history and the people with the historical consciousness of integrity and innovation, and the historical initiative of hard work.
