The path of light, the path of justice

——Written on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China

Ren Zhongping, People's Daily (2024-09-30 Edition 04)

　　(a)

　　After yesterday, the vicissitudes of New China have changed dramatically and changed the world; Walking today, the new era is changing with each passing day and full of vitality; Towards tomorrow, the new journey has a long way to go and a bright future.

　　Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the common dream of the Chinese people in modern times. Soon after the founding of New China, our party put forward the goal of building a modern socialist country.

　　The road determines destiny, and the road changes destiny.

　　Over the past 75 years, New China has embarked on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way from being poor and weak to building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "Comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization is not only a bright road for the Chinese people to pursue a better and happy life, but also a just road to promote world peace and development." This major assertion contains profound historical, theoretical, and practical logic.

　　By 2035, socialist modernization will be basically realized; By the middle of this century, China will build itself into a great modern socialist country in an all-round way. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) made a macro outlook on the "two-step" strategic arrangement, and made major theoretical innovations, including a summary and in-depth elaboration of the theory of Chinese-style modernization.

　　Focusing on the party's central task to plan and deploy reforms, the "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "Chinese-style modernization is constantly advancing in reform and opening up, and it will surely open up broad prospects in reform and opening up." ”

　　China has a long history and a vast civilization, which is the foundation of our self-confidence and the source of our strength. We are full of confidence and strength to go through a glorious course and move towards a bright future, to unite and gather strength, to create a great cause with struggle, and to jointly write a magnificent chapter of Chinese-style modernization.

　　(b)

　　The expedition with dreams in mind has never been afraid of thousands of mountains and rivers, fearless of difficulties and dangers.

　　In the Wumeng Mountains, the Beipan River Gorge is deep and rapid. In order to get out of the mountain, three bridges have been built here.

　　In 1970, a suspension bridge was built; In 1990, an iron plate bridge was erected on top of the suspension bridge; In December 2016, the world's tallest bridge, the Beipanjiang Bridge, was completed and opened to traffic.

　　Since the beginning of the new era, the mainland has successively overcome the world's problems in terms of extra-large bridges, long tunnels, rapid islands, and special geological highways, and has picked up a series of expressways that are "the best in the world", and China Road, China Bridge, and China Tunnel have become shining "Chinese business cards".

　　The changes of the road have witnessed the "epic progress" in the past 75 years, and engraved the solid footprints of an ancient national rejuvenation dream. It is precisely by forging ahead courageously along the path of Chinese-style modernization that we have created the "two miracles" that are rare in the world and opened up a bright prospect for national rejuvenation.

　　The road is a physical passage and a mark of the times.

　　In today's China, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is world-class, the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor in the Yangtze River Delta gathers innovative elements, Anhui's "Quantum Avenue" witnesses and leads the way, Xinjiang Heruo Railway creates a desert happiness road, and the Millennium Silk Road glows with the brilliance of a new era......

　　The road of upward climbing, the road of forging ahead, connects the thousands of atmospheres of the development of the new era, and weaves a splendid picture of a better life; Open up a new road in the rolling stones up the mountain, climb the slope and cross the hurdles, open the road in the mountains, build a bridge in the water, and arrive at a new distance every day in the new era.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, on the basis of long-term exploration and practice since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, our party has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization, and hundreds of millions of people have radiated the self-confidence that "we are walking on the big road".

　　This Chinese road, which has attracted worldwide attention, has provided a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation, and a more active spiritual force for the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation.

　　The advantages of the "Chinese system" are even more prominent. Systematically improve the party's leadership system, use the "power list" and "responsibility list" to clarify the boundaries of government power, put the work of the party and the state on the track of rule of law, and use institutional strength to respond to risks, challenges, and impacts...... The advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics have been continuously transformed into the effectiveness of national governance.

　　The success of "China's development" is even more eye-catching. The total economic output has climbed from 53.9 trillion yuan in 2012 to more than 126 trillion yuan in 2023, and the overall scale of the manufacturing industry has ranked first in the world for 14 consecutive years...... With the leap in quantity and the improvement of quality, the mainland has embarked on a path of development that is of higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer.

　　The power of the "Chinese spirit" is even more surging. Win glory for the country in the Olympic arena, charge to tackle tough problems in times of urgency and danger, temper the frontline at the grassroots level, and lead the trend of innovation at the forefront...... From the practice of hundreds of millions of people devoting themselves to reform and development, we can see the profound accumulation of China's excellent traditional culture, China's open, inclusive, high-spirited and enterprising style of the times, and Chinese the ambition, backbone and confidence of the people.

　　In this process, our party adhered to the "two combinations" and created Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which provides a fundamental basis for Chinese-style modernization.

　　The automobile industry is recognized as one of the important symbols that can best reflect the country's manufacturing strength. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we could not even build a single car.

　　In 2023, China's automobile production and sales will both reach 30 million units, becoming the world's largest automobile producer and consumer for 15 consecutive years, and the world's largest automobile exporter. In the first eight months of this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in mainland China increased by 29% and 30.9% year-on-year, respectively.

　　Practice has fully proved that Chinese-style modernization is a broad road to the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation, and it will surely go wider and wider.

　　(c)

　　To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the road is the most fundamental issue. Chinese-style modernization is the only correct path for building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation under the leadership of the Party.

　　More than 100 years ago, Dr. Sun Yat-sen described the first blueprint for China's modernization in the "National Founding Strategy", which talked about the construction of 1.6 million kilometers of roads, about 160,000 kilometers of railways, and three world-class seaports......

　　Today, with highways and high-speed railways, China's railway operating mileage has exceeded 160,000 kilometers, and seven of the world's top ten ports occupy seven seats.

　　"Only we, the Chinese Communists, have achieved it." In October 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting Guangdong, walked into the Shantou Port Opening Cultural Exhibition Hall and stopped in front of the relevant planning map of the "National Founding Strategy".

　　Why can the Chinese Communist Party?

　　The guiding ideology keeps pace with the times. We will continue to promote the "two combinations", and Sinicization and modernization of Marxism will guide the direction of progress and provide fundamental guidance.

　　The historical mission is unswerving. Over the past 100 years, the Party has united and led the people in all the struggles carried out by the people in order to build the mainland into a modern power and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　The goal of struggle is consistent. From the First Five-Year Plan to the 14th Five-Year Plan, the theme that has always remained unchanged has been to build the mainland into a modern socialist country.

　　Great achievements shine in the annals of history. The Chinese people have become the masters of their own destiny, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process, and socialist China stands tall in the east of the world with a more majestic posture.

　　Leading the social revolution with the party's self-revolution and becoming more energetic in the revolutionary forging, the Communist Party of China is determined to achieve the great cause of the Chinese nation for a thousand years and is in its prime.

　　Practice has fully proved that the party's leadership has a direct bearing on the fundamental direction, future and destiny, and ultimate success or failure of Chinese-style modernization. Only by unswervingly adhering to the party's leadership can Chinese modernization have a bright future and prosper.

　　The passage of time is a story of time and a story of light.

　　"It's absolutely unthinkable for every household to have electric lights." On December 23, 2015, Guomang Village, Banma County, Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, was full of jubilation. On this day, three electrification projects including Guomang Village were accepted, and the last 39,800 people without electricity in the country embarked on the "bright road".

　　So far, whether it is a snowy plateau or a single household in the deep mountains, they have completely bid farewell to the history of no electricity, and the mainland is the first in developing countries to realize that everyone has electricity.

　　Looking at the whole world, only the Communist Party of China can do such a feat!

　　The years have witnessed the changes, and time has given the answer.

　　Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the dream of a strong country and the dream of rejuvenation have really been ignited, and people are more confident - "Our golden world, the glorious world, is just ahead!" ”

　　After walking through thousands of mountains and rivers, you still need to trek through mountains and rivers.

　　Chinese modernization is the modernization of a huge population, which will greatly change the map of the modern world. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Our modernization is both the most difficult and the greatest. ”

　　Establish the tide of the times and observe the general trend of history.

　　Committed to seeking happiness for the Chinese people, rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, progress for mankind, common harmony for the world, public welfare for the world, and the right path in the world is the greatest confidence of our party in history.

　　To build the party stronger and more powerful, and to ensure that Chinese-style modernization cuts through the waves and is stable and far-reaching, our party always maintains a sober and firm approach to solving the unique problems of the big party.

　　The Tao remains the same, the will does not change, and the courage to move forward.

　　(iv)

　　The country is the people, and the people are the country. Chinese modernization is committed to common prosperity for all people and promoting all-round human development, and is a "happy road" for the benefit of the people.

　　Thousands of miles of Longyuan, the thoroughfare. In November 2023, the Gansu Linxia Da (Hejia) Expressway will be completed and opened to traffic, connecting 15 towns and 28 villages along the line, becoming a road to prosperity for the local people to a better life.

　　What started this road was a meaningful interaction and a vivid practice of whole-process people's democracy.

　　In March 2019, the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress. "We lack a highway to connect with the outside," said Dong Caiyun, a deputy from Gansu, who appealed to the grassroots level. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the meeting that "comrades from all ministries and commissions are here, and we must actively absorb and adopt the suggestions of the deputies." In that year, the construction of Linda Expressway began.

　　The people have called for something, and I have responded to it. The branches and leaves are affectionate, and the thoughts are here.

　　Today, the land of China, the road of happiness, unity, and revitalization, vividly interprets the unremitting pursuit of "Chinese-style modernization, people's livelihood is great"——

　　In the depths of Daliang Mountain, a sturdy steel ladder paves the comprehensive well-off road of the cliff village; Chongqing's "basket line" allows vegetable farmers to better connect their "money bags" with citizens' "vegetable baskets"; Urban goods go to the countryside, mountain goods go to the city, e-commerce enters the village, and express delivery enters the household, and the "four good rural roads" pave a new life in the vast countryside......

　　"Our goal is ambitious and simple, and it boils down to making life better for ordinary people." General Secretary Xi Jinping's words speak to the fundamentals of Chinese-style modernization.

　　The essence of modernization is the modernization of people. To promote Chinese-style modernization, the people are the logical starting point, the purpose of values, and the source of strength.

　　"Improve the employment public service system", "gradually increase the basic pension of basic old-age insurance for urban and rural residents", and "meet the rigid housing needs of wage earners"...... The Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) put forward a series of reform measures to focus on the needs of development and respond to the expectations of the masses.

　　The starting point and end goal of Chinese-style modernization is to enable more than 1.4 billion Chinese people to live a better life. Large and small things around us, intimate things, and specific things are constantly being integrated into the top-level design of national development, and constantly becoming the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.

　　A Grand Canal, half of the history of China. The commercial civilization of the thousand-year-old waterway and the cultural heritage across time and space have nourished and benefited the people on both sides of the strait. In the past ten years, the ancient Grand Canal has taken on a new look of the times and has become a veritable "river of wealth and happiness".

　　Chinese-style modernization requires not only great material wealth, but also great spiritual wealth, and self-confidence and self-improvement in ideology and culture. From intangible cultural heritage to cultural creativity, the national tide has become fashionable, to miners, and takeaway poets stand out...... Chinese modernization has endowed the Chinese civilization with modern strength, the edifice of the Chinese national spirit has risen majestically, and the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of hundreds of millions of people have been further stimulated.

　　replied to the grain planting experts, and encouraged the large grain growers to "drive the majority of small farmers to grow a variety of grains, grow good grains, and contribute to national food security together"; Concerned about the housekeeping service of "Sister Sunshine", emphasizing "doing a good job of this mutually beneficial and win-win work and making it a love project"...... General Secretary Xi Jinping's care and love for strugglers from all walks of life has inspired and inspired hundreds of millions of people to make their lives brilliant and their dreams come true through struggle.

　　Chinese-style modernization is the common cause of all the people. Help cadres to dedicate themselves to promoting regional coordinated development with east-west cooperation; The craftsmen of the great countries strive for perfection, so that Chinese manufacturing shines in the world; New farmers take root in the countryside and breathe new vitality into the ancient land...... Persisting in joint participation, joint construction, and common enjoyment will surely enable all the people to move toward modernization together.

　　The humanistic spirit of a society is often hidden in the details.

　　From the Shanghai Tower setting up a wall of honor for more than 4,000 builders, to the landmark building in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, lighting up to pay tribute to ordinary and kind workers; From the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite", the spirit of Jiao Yulu, to the spirit of poverty alleviation and entrepreneurship; From the further improvement of the social governance system of co-construction, co-governance and sharing, to the adherence to and development of whole-process people's democracy...... the interests of "people" are being realized, the value of "people" is seen, the dominant position of "people" is respected, and the promotion of Chinese-style modernization has the strongest confidence.

　　The journey is thousands of miles, and the people are supreme.

　　"China has a vast territory and a large population, and if we want to develop and revitalize, the most important thing is to base ourselves on our national conditions and follow our own path." Chinese-style modernization is a major achievement achieved by the Party in uniting and leading the people to uphold independence and self-determination, and in long-term exploration and practice.

　　In 1909, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was completed. In 2019, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway was opened to traffic.

　　A Beijing-Zhangjiakou line, an independent innovation road. The independent design and construction has broken through from zero to the world's most advanced level, with a speed of 35 kilometers per hour to 350 kilometers per hour, as General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Looking back on the history of the past century, I feel that the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway is of great significance." ”

　　"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we were poor and white, starting from scratch, introducing, digesting, absorbing and then developing, self-reliance and hard work, to create an independent manufacturing base." At this year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping was deeply touched by the story of Sun Jingnan's account of witnessing the progress of mainland rail transit from "chaser" to "leader". ”

　　Self-reliance is the basis of the Chinese nation's struggle to stand on its own feet among the nations of the world. History and reality tell us that "to promote Chinese-style modernization, we must adhere to independence, self-reliance and self-reliance".

　　A history of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, as well as the rise, replacement, rise and fall of world powers.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly revealed the deep logic contained in the evolution of history: "Whether a country is strong or not cannot be determined solely by the size of its economic aggregate, nor can it be determined by the size of its population and the size of its territory. In modern history, one of the root causes of the mainland's backwardness and beating is its backwardness in science and technology. ”

　　Today, in the face of the historical convergence of the world's new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation and the mainland's transformation of its development mode, the Chinese Communists, who are "standing in front of the world map", have a far-sighted vision and a solid layout.

　　The key to China's modernization lies in the modernization of science and technology.

　　On the first day of 2024, the first domestically produced large-scale cruise ship "Aida · Modu" will start its commercial maiden voyage, and the dream of "Chinese traveling to sea on their own large cruise ship" has come true.

　　Conquer a series of key core technologies to drive the development of upstream and downstream industries such as manufacturing, construction, energy, and transportation...... At the same time, the mainland has the ability to build aircraft carriers, large liquefied natural gas carriers, and large cruise ships, and has gathered the "three pearls" of the shipbuilding industry.

　　"Chang'e" takes the moon, "Tianhe" stays in the sky, "Tianwen" explores fire, "Crust No. 1" advances into the depths of the earth, "Struggler" explores the 10,000-meter deep sea, 5G communication leads the world, and thinner steel, larger screens, stronger chips, and better CNC machine tools;

　　Emerging industries such as integrated circuits and artificial intelligence are booming, domestic large aircraft have achieved commercial flights, high-speed rail technology has set international benchmarks, and commercial aerospace and low-altitude economy have accelerated their take-off......

　　Since the beginning of the new era, we have grasped the "bull's nose" of scientific and technological innovation, the innovation momentum and development vitality have been surging, and the formation of new quality productivity has been accelerated, demonstrating a strong driving force and support for high-quality development.

　　"Enhance the mainland's viability, competitiveness, development and sustainability in all kinds of foreseeable and unforeseeable storms and storms, and ensure that the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will not be delayed or even interrupted." The most essential feature of building a new development pattern is to achieve a high level of self-reliance and self-reliance.

　　Practice has fully proved that independence is the soul of the Chinese nation's spirit and an important principle for building the party and the country. Taking one's own road is the foothold of the party's entire theory and practice.

　　Looking back on the past, from a "latecomer to modernization" to a "growth pole of the world's modernization," in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the Chinese people have "made waves to stand on the waves," made great strides to catch up with the times, led the times, and were more determined to stride forward on the road they had chosen, firmly holding the fate of the mainland's development and progress firmly in their own hands.

　　Looking ahead, stepping on the land of China, inheriting Chinese civilization, and taking the correct path in line with China's national conditions, the party and the people have an incomparably broad stage of the times, an incomparably profound historical heritage, and an incomparably strong determination to move forward.

　　(f)

　　With the future of mankind in mind and the well-being of the people in mind. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The key to understanding China is to understand Chinese-style modernization. ”

　　"Promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind" is one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization. China is the only country in the world that has written its adherence to the path of peaceful development into its constitution.

　　September 2024, Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. We will work together to promote modernization, build a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future, and embark on a new journey in China-Africa relations.

　　From the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway, to the Maputo Bridge in Mozambique, to the Kribi Deep-Water Port in Cameroon, and the Lower Kaifu Gap Hydropower Station in Zambia...... Since the beginning of the new era, with the solid progress of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, many "development roads", "dream bridges" and "prosperity ports" have opened up the arteries of the African continent's interconnection.

　　Focusing on key areas such as Africa's industrialization, agricultural modernization, and talent training, we will jointly implement the "Ten Cooperation Plans", "Eight Major Actions" and "Nine Projects" to jointly promote the "Ten Partnership Actions...... The building of a China-Africa community with a shared future has set a shining example for building a community with a shared future for mankind. Modernizing the Global South with China-Africa modernization will surely write a new chapter in building a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　In October 2023, the 350 km/h Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway designed and built by China will be put into operation, making Indonesia the first country in Southeast Asia to have a modern high-speed railway. As of the end of September 2024, it has sent more than 5.4 million passengers, with an average of about 16,000 passengers per day.

　　The Belt and Road Initiative brings together the greatest common divisor of common development of mankind. As the Communist Party of Australia has pointed out: "As China overcomes extreme poverty, develops infrastructure rapidly, and cooperates with hundreds of countries under the Belt and Road Initiative, they are showing a way forward, a promising human path." ”

　　Standing on the right side of history and the progress of human civilization, China is not pursuing modernization alone, but working together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　In the 75 years since the founding of New China, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the face of the country and people's lives, but the nature of peace and goodness, the broad and inclusive mind and the pursuit of fairness and justice have never changed, which are rooted in Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years and grow in the depths of the soul of the Chinese people.

　　Since the beginning of the new era, nearly 100 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, making significant contributions to global poverty reduction. Its contribution to world economic growth has remained at about 30% for many years, which has effectively promoted global development. The China International Import Expo, the CIFTIS and the Consumer Goods Expo have been held in succession, and we will continue to provide new opportunities for the world with China's new development......

　　Not only benefiting the Chinese people but also promoting the modernization of all countries in the world, Chinese-style modernization is a modernization that follows the path of peaceful development, which will inject new impetus into maintaining world peace and promoting common development.

　　"Chinese-style modernization benefits the world" "China's development allows us to see how a country can become a technological innovation-oriented industrial power from processing and manufacturing...... Not long ago, parliamentarians from many countries walked into the Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve and new energy vehicle production base in Shanghai, and felt particularly deeply about China's successful exploration of a sustainable development path with the goal of common prosperity.

　　"Relying on the hard work, innovation and creativity of all the people to develop and strengthen themselves, and achieving national development by stimulating endogenous power and peaceful use of external resources", General Secretary Xi Jinping's important assertion has profoundly revealed the mystery of Chinese-style modernization.

　　It shows a new picture of modernization, represents the development direction of human civilization progress, and Chinese modernization opens up a new path for mankind to move towards modernization and creates a new form of human civilization.

　　In June 2024, the 70th anniversary of the promulgation of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence was held in Beijing.

　　At that time, in the face of the tragic catastrophe of the hot war and the separatist confrontation of the Cold War, the new People's Republic of China gave a historical answer to the five principles of peaceful coexistence; Now, in the face of the major issue of "what kind of world to build and how to build this world", China in the new era has given the answer of the era of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　From the answer of history to the answer of the times, the international landscape is changing, but what remains unchanged is China's commitment to world peace and development and its unremitting pursuit of a just and reasonable international order.

　　Take advantage of the general trend of history and take the right path in the world.

　　(g)

　　To the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, the roads on the vast land are extending under our feet.

　　On the vast Lingding Ocean, the "Long Bridge Lying Wave" of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor has set 10 "world's best", confirming that "Chinese-style modernization is done by doing";

　　In the beautiful Yangtze River Delta, the "green corridor" is extended by the 10,000-mile railway, and the traffic line becomes an ecological line, interpreting that "Chinese modernization is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature";

　　…………

　　The strong voice of history can always travel through distant time and space and produce reverberations of the times. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Chinese-style modernization is the answer we give to the major historical topic of how to awaken the 'sleeping lion' and realize national rejuvenation, and it is to choose our own path and do our own things." ”

　　Xiongguan Mandao, step from the beginning. We are well aware that "a broad road is not equal to a flat road" and "promoting Chinese-style modernization is a brand-new undertaking, and various contradictions, risks and challenges will inevitably be encountered on the way forward".

　　A new journey, a new journey. In particular, it is necessary to anchor the established goals, strengthen the historical initiative, and continuously push forward the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

　　To follow our own path, we must strengthen our historical self-confidence.

　　In 2019, under the complex situation of intensifying risks and challenges, the per capita GDP of the mainland exceeded 10,000 US dollars. After three years of fighting the epidemic, the mainland's economy has grown at an average annual rate of 4.5%, which is significantly higher than the world average. In the first half of 2024, the growth rate of 5% will still maintain the leading position in the world.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "When is there no difficulty? One by one, every year, every year, every year, the Chinese nation has been like this for more than 5,000 years. The key to climbing over hurdles is to boost confidence. "Moving forward rain or shine, countless determined footsteps converge into a great force of mountains and seas.

　　"China's development and growth have an endogenous logic, which cannot be stopped by external forces." This endogenous logic is rooted in the suffering and glory of the Chinese nation and nourished by the majestic power of the Chinese people.

　　To follow our own path, we must always unite and struggle.

　　Wang Yongzhi, Wang Zhenyi, Li Zhensheng...... The meritorious and exemplary figures who have been awarded the "Medal of the Republic" and the honorary title of the state are the representatives of thousands of outstanding people who have made contributions to the cause of the party and the people, and they have created extraordinary achievements with firm ideals and convictions and unremitting fighting spirit.

　　Unity and struggle is the most conspicuous spiritual symbol of the CPC and the Chinese people, and it is the only way for the party to lead the people to create great historical causes. Hard-working farmers, hard-working workers, entrepreneurs who dare to fight, and soldiers who defend their families and the country...... People from all walks of life are sweating and moving forward, converging into a magnificent torrent of forging ahead on a new journey and making contributions to a new era.

　　On the new journey, if we unite under the banner of the party to become "a piece of hard steel", hundreds of millions of people will be able to accomplish whatever we want if we think in one place and work hard in one place.

　　To go our own way, we must be good at overcoming difficulties.

　　The Chinese people stubbornly resisted when foreign powers invaded, fought bloody battles when mountains and rivers were broken, fought indignantly when all industries were waiting to be prosperous, and kept pace with the times when the times developed. Hardships have tested the people of Chinese, but also tempered the people of Chinese.

　　The great cause of rejuvenation that we want to create today is not a success in a calm manner, nor is it a success in the applause of flowers. Taking the initiative in the face of opportunities, facing difficulties head-on, and actively responding to risks in the face of risks, we will surely win greater victories.

　　The avenue is like a stone, and the traveler has no borders. General Secretary Xi Jinping's words are sonorous and powerful——

　　"As long as the road is correct, the theory is correct, the system is correct, and the culture is correct, as long as we are unswerving, persevering, unremitting, and hard work, and persistently advancing towards the great goal, our goal will be achieved, and our goal will be achieved!"
