Xi Jinping: Carry forward the "red boat spirit" and walk in the forefront of the times

In early August 1921, the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China concluded successfully on a cruise ship in Nanhu, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, solemnly announcing the birth of the Communist Party of China. This cruise ship thus won a name that will forever be recorded in the history of the Chinese revolution-the Red Boat.

The Red Boat, which witnessed the epoch-making events in Chinese history, became a symbol of the source of the Chinese revolution. The Red Boat has always received the admiration of the people, especially the Communists. In the 1960 s, Comrade Dong Biwu, the representative of the "First Congress" of the Communist Party of China, revisited Nanhu twice and wrote impromptu poems. Since the reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and other party and state leaders have cordially cared for the birthplace of the party, or paid homage to the red boat, or wrote inscriptions to encourage us to "march forward courageously along the revolutionary channel opened by the red boat in South Lake". In October 2002, after I was transferred to Zhejiang, with infinite reverence, I made a special trip to Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing to pay homage to the Red Boat and receive revolutionary spirit education. On the first working day after the Spring Festival this year, members of the theoretical study Center of the Zhejiang Provincial CPC Committee came to Nanhu to pay homage to the Red Boat and held a special study meeting on educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members. During the advanced education activities, thousands of Communist Party members came to Nanhu from all over the motherland to see an exhibition, listen to a party class, learn a party constitution, watch a feature film, pay homage to a red boat, and review the oath of joining the party. Jiaxing City has extensively carried out the "Red Boat Spirit" discussion activities with "spiritual inheritance and ideological sublimation" as the main content, which has effectively promoted the advanced nature education activities.

The red boat splits the waves, and the spirit gums the heart. What the red boat represents and shows is the height of the times, the direction of development, the beacon of progress, and the eternal spiritual monument cast in the hearts of the Chinese people. The "Red Boat Spirit", together with the Jinggangshan Spirit, the Long March Spirit, the Yan'an Spirit, and the Xibaipo Spirit, along with the glorious course of the Chinese revolution, together constitute the powerful spirit of our party to overcome various difficulties and risks on the way forward. Strength and precious spiritual wealth. For more than 80 years, the "Red Boat Spirit" has been inspiring and inspiring our party to persist in standing at the height of history, walking in the forefront of the times, bravely being the helmsman, leading the course, and continuously winning one victory after another in revolution, construction and reform.

"Red Boat Spirit" -- The Source of the Party's Advanced Nature

A big party is born in a small boat. Since then, the Communist Party of China has led the ship of revolution, cut through the waves, opened up the world, and made the Chinese revolution take on a new look. Great revolutionary practice produces great revolutionary spirit. "Red boat spirit" is the source of Chinese revolutionary spirit: the fine tradition and revolutionary spirit formed in the history of the Communist Party of China have a direct relationship with it. As the vanguard of the Chinese working class and the Chinese nation, the Communist Party of China has always represented the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces, the direction of China's advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. It plays an irreplaceable leading role in promoting the progress of Chinese history. As the report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out, the advanced nature of the party "in the final analysis depends on the role of the party in promoting the progress of history". The red boat is a symbol of walking in the forefront of the times. The "red boat spirit" fully embodies the spirit of walking in the forefront of the times, which also embodies the advanced nature of the party and is the source of the party's advanced nature.

Along the course of the red boat, the Communist Party of China has always stood at the forefront of the development of history and the times with the pioneering spirit of pioneering and daring to be the first. Old China in the 1920 s was a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. The sound of the "October Revolution" brought us Marxism-Leninism, and the working class stepped onto the political stage during the "May 4th Movement", all of which made ideological and organizational preparations for the birth of the Communist Party of China. The Communist Party of China is precisely in line with the historical mission of seeking national independence and the liberation of the people, bravely standing at the forefront of social and historical development, and proclaimed its establishment on the Nanhu Red Boat, which has since turned a new page in the history of the Chinese revolution. In response, Comrade Mao Zedong called it a "groundbreaking event". During his revisit to the old place, Comrade Dong Biwu gladly wrote: "The revolution in the misty and rainy tower was born, and there was a spark here; the world of wind and cloud was buzzing every spring, and everywhere was full of Yin Yin Lei." The sparks ignited by the red boats in the South Lake formed a prairie fire in the Chinese revolution, causing the four seas to tumble and the five mountains to shake. From here to Jinggangshan, to Yan'an, and to Xibaipo, our party has become a party that leads the people to seize power and has been in power for a long time.

The Communist Party of China raised the sails of the red boat, and with a firm ideal and indomitable spirit of struggle, it is determined to promote the continuous advancement of the Chinese revolution and construction. The Communist Party of China is an advanced political party armed with Marxist theory. The birth of the Communist Party of China has given the Chinese revolution a firm ideal and belief and a strong spiritual pillar. In the stormy tide of revolution, the red boat is rising, and the faith of the Communists is also rising. At the beginning, the party's "first National Congress" meeting was held in the white terror, transferred from Shanghai to Jiaxing, and completed the mission of building the Communist Party of China on the red boat of Nanhu Lake, relying on firm ideals and beliefs and indomitable revolutionary spirit. After that, in the long and arduous struggle, our party has gone through twists and turns without fear of hardships and dangers, repeatedly tested without changing its original intention, from small to large, from weak to strong, relying on firm ideals and beliefs and indomitable revolutionary spirit. Regardless of the wind and waves, the Chinese Communists are not afraid of rapids and rapids. They have always strengthened their ideals and beliefs. With the fearless heroism of overwhelming all enemies and overcoming all difficulties, they are determined to promote the great ship of the Chinese revolution and construction.

The Communist Party of China carries the will of the red boat and strives to safeguard, realize and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people with the dedication spirit of building the party for the public and loyal to the people. "In the sound of the revolution, the Communist Party was born to celebrate the workers and peasants". From the day of its birth, the Communist Party of China has never had its own self-interest, but its fundamental purpose is to seek the welfare of the people wholeheartedly. Keeping close ties with the masses is a distinctive mark that distinguishes our party from any other political party. Sailing according to the water and being loyal to the people has become a red line throughout the whole process of Chinese revolution and construction, and it is also the essence of the "red boat spirit. Shouldering the sacred duty and lofty mission of working for the interests of the people, the Chinese Communists, with their own practice, publicize, mobilize and lead the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to unite as one, work together and fight bravely, in the process of promoting the Chinese revolution and construction, constantly safeguard, realize and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people.

The pioneering spirit of pioneering and daring to be the first, the firm ideal, the indomitable spirit of struggle, and the dedication spirit of building the party for the public and loyal to the people are the source of the Chinese revolutionary spirit and the profound connotation of the "red boat spirit. If we want to hold high the great banner of the important thought of "Three Represents" and always maintain the advanced nature of the party, we must always remember the "mother ship" of our party, review the historical vicissitudes of the red boat, and inherit and carry forward the "red boat spirit". Always maintain the advanced nature of the party and further stimulate the belief and strength to fight for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The "Red Boat Spirit" is of great significance to the construction of the Party's advanced nature.

At the new stage of the new century, China has embarked on the great journey of building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization. Maintaining the party's advanced nature faces both new requirements and new tests. Under the new situation, inheriting and carrying forward the "Red Boat Spirit" is of great theoretical and practical significance for strengthening the party's advanced nature, further consolidating the party's ruling position, and fulfilling the party's ruling mission.

The "Red Boat Spirit" is a powerful ideological weapon that inspires us to grasp the theme of the era of development and the party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country, boldly explore, innovate and start businesses. Development is a major theme of the current era, and it is also the party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country. To strengthen the construction of the party's advanced nature, the primary task is to improve the ability of leadership development. Today's world is undergoing profound changes, and the competition for comprehensive national strength is becoming increasingly fierce. In the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way, many unprecedented new situations and new problems have emerged. The "Red Boat Spirit" shows us that in the process of social development, we must not follow the old ways and seek swords. We must stand up to the forefront, dare to be the first, and always maintain the vitality and vitality of the party with the spirit of innovation. In the face of new challenges, new opportunities, new situations and new tasks, we should adhere to and carry forward the "red boat spirit", have the courage and wisdom to break through the predecessors, consciously overcome the ideological concepts of being content with the status quo and not thinking of making progress, arm our minds with innovative theoretical achievements, plan our work with innovative ideas, firmly hold on to development, keep pace with the times, blaze new trails, and constantly promote the great cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The "Red Boat Spirit" is a powerful spiritual pillar that inspires us to strengthen our communist ideals and beliefs in socialism with Chinese characteristics, and to defy hardships and hardships. The ship of the Chinese revolution reached the other side of success in the stormy seas, and the voyage of China's reform and construction will not be smooth sailing either. Building socialism with Chinese characteristics is an unprecedented creative undertaking, and building a well-off society in an all-round way is an unprecedentedly arduous grand undertaking. The long journey of advancing its development is full of difficulties and various risks. The "red boat spirit" tells us that we are sailing against the current, and if we do not advance, we will retreat. In the face of our basic national conditions and the historical mission of our party, without a firm ideal and belief in victory, without the mental state of defying hardships and striving for governance, and the style of hard work and tenacious struggle, it will be difficult to overcome the many difficulties on the road ahead. It is difficult to overcome the risks and challenges on the road ahead. We must adhere to and carry forward the "red boat spirit", strengthen our ideals and beliefs, enhance our sense of hardship, be prepared for danger in times of peace, observe the world and judge the situation with the mind and vision of the Communists, fulfill our duties, be down-to-earth, not afraid of difficulties and perseverance, and strive to write a new chapter in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization.

The "Red Boat Spirit" is a powerful moral force that urges us to keep in mind the essential requirements of building the party for the public, governing for the people and the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, seeking truth and being pragmatic, and serving the people wholeheartedly. As a Marxist party, our party has taken the liberation of all mankind and the realization of communism as its mission since its birth, and serving the people wholeheartedly as its fundamental purpose. Persisting in building the party for the public and governing for the people, and always maintaining the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people is the inherent political quality and the highest political ethics of a Marxist party, and the fundamental yardstick for measuring the party's advanced nature. The "Red Boat Spirit" shows us that the relationship between the party and the people is like the relationship between a boat and water. "Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it". In the revolutionary war years, it was under the guidance of the "red boat spirit" that our party, proceeding from the great national justice and the fundamental interests of the people, fully mobilized and closely relied on the masses of the people to seize power. Since then, it has become the ruling party that holds power in the whole country and is in power for a long time. Since the reform and opening up, our party has withstood the double test of being in power and reform and opening up. Whether the party's advanced nature can always be maintained and whether the party's ruling position can be continuously consolidated depends on the people's trust and support for the party, and this in turn depends on whether our party can practice the nature of building the party for the public and governing for the people. The requirement depends on whether our party can unite and lead the people to seek truth and be pragmatic, and work hard. We must keep in mind the earnest teachings of "power for the people, feelings for the people, and interests for the people", continue to carry forward the "red boat spirit", unswervingly work for the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, adhere to the political morality that the interests of the people are above all else, and truly make political achievements conducive to the cause of the party and the people.

Carrying forward and carrying forward the "red boat spirit" in the new practice"

The "Red Boat Spirit" is a historical proof of our party's adherence to and practice its own advanced nature during the founding period. Just as the party's advanced nature is not innate, once and for all, the "red boat spirit" is also concrete and historical. We should put the "red boat spirit" through the practice of establishing and implementing the scientific outlook on development, building a socialist harmonious society and strengthening the party's advanced nature. Grasping this point fundamentally grasps the essence and core of the "Red Boat Spirit", and at the same time grasps the true meaning of the party's advanced nature.

The red boat set sail in Zhejiang, which has both historical contingency and historical inevitability. This is the glory of Zhejiang, but also to promote the development of Zhejiang's spiritual strength. In connection with the reality of Zhejiang, if we want to inherit and carry forward the "red boat spirit" in the new practice, we must combine the current educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members, raise the ideal sails, swing up the double oars, and ride on the wave of reform and opening up. Conscientiously implement General Secretary Hu Jintao's requirements for Zhejiang work to "strive to be in the forefront of building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization, we should learn from the depths, seek new places, and work on the ground, so as to create new glory in Zhejiang's reform, opening up and modernization.

First, we must thoroughly implement the "eight-eight strategy" and strive to be at the forefront of establishing and implementing the scientific development concept. The scientific concept of development is the fundamental guide to guide Zhejiang to achieve faster and better development, and the in-depth implementation of the "eight-eight strategy" of "giving full play to the advantages of eight aspects and promoting measures in eight aspects" is the concrete practice of Zhejiang to implement the scientific concept of development. We should constantly deepen our understanding of the scientific concept of development, constantly improve our consciousness and firmness in guiding practice with the scientific concept of development, and constantly promote the deepening, refinement and concretization of the "August 8 Strategy." in economic and social development, we should pay more attention to overall planning, strengthen weak links, pay more attention to the quality and efficiency of economic growth, and pay more attention to people-oriented, and realize and safeguard the vital interests of the broad masses of the people. We should adhere to the overall situation of economic development in the implementation of the central macro-control policies, correctly handle the relationship between giving full play to the role of market mechanism and strengthening the government's macro-control, so as to ensure stable and rapid economic development. We should take the initiative to promote the adjustment of economic structure and the transformation of growth mode, take the improvement of independent innovation ability as the central link of structural adjustment, put the construction of a conservation oriented society in an important position, take the overall planning of urban and rural development as the focus of solving the "three rural" problems, accelerate the construction of advanced manufacturing base and the development of modern service industry as the breakthrough of structural adjustment, Deepening reform and expanding opening up as the fundamental driving force, and strive to promote the development of zhejiang at a higher level.

Second, we must build a "safe Zhejiang" in an all-round way and strive to be at the forefront of building a harmonious socialist society. Building a socialist harmonious society is a new strategy and new measure for building socialism with Chinese characteristics put forward by our party in accordance with the new requirements of the development of social practice in the current era and the new needs of the people's production and life. Zhejiang has better conditions in building a harmonious socialist society. In particular, the concrete practice of building a "safe Zhejiang" has laid a working foundation and accumulated useful experience for the construction of a harmonious society in our province. We should take the construction of "safe Zhejiang" as the carrier and actively build a harmonious society with Chinese characteristics, the characteristics of the times and Zhejiang characteristics. It is necessary to build "Zhejiang under the rule of law", develop socialist democratic politics, and provide legal guarantee for building a harmonious society. It is necessary to speed up the construction of a major cultural province, enhance the soft power that constitutes Zhejiang's comprehensive competitiveness, and provide intellectual and spiritual support for building a harmonious society. We should adhere to the principle of "giving priority to efficiency and giving consideration to fairness", stimulate the vitality and creativity of social development, promote social fairness and justice, further do a good job in caring for the production and life of the masses, especially helping the people in need, constantly improve the social security and social assistance system, and create a good atmosphere for building a harmonious society. It is necessary to strengthen social construction and management, strive to form a social management pattern of party committee leadership, government responsibility, social coordination, and public participation, attach great importance to and earnestly do a good job in maintaining social stability, and provide a good social order for building a harmonious society.

Third, we must earnestly enhance our ability to govern and strive to be at the forefront of strengthening the party's advanced nature. The construction of the party's advanced nature is a fundamental construction related to the party's survival, development and growth. It is necessary to firmly grasp the educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members, put the requirements of "walking in the forefront" throughout the entire process of advanced education activities, so that planning work has the awareness of "walking in the forefront", learning and mobilization has "walking in the forefront" The content of analysis and evaluation has the standard of "walking in the forefront", rectification and improvement has the requirement of "walking in the forefront", and strive to solve the outstanding problems, truly make our province's advanced education activities a basic project to promote the self-construction of party organizations at all levels, a quality project to improve the ideological and political level and work ability of party members, and a satisfactory project for the people to get real benefits. It is necessary to promote the work of party building in the spirit of reform, and focus on the primary task of deepening theoretical arms, in-depth study of how to fully implement the requirements of "true learning, true understanding, true faith, and true use", and strengthen the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The issue of ideals and beliefs; centering on the overall requirement of building a team of high-quality cadres, in-depth study of some problems in the selection and employment of personnel, party management of talents, performance evaluation, ability to "down", management and supervision, grassroots foundation, etc., and strive to seek breakthroughs, create characteristics, and produce results; focus on maintaining the flesh-and-blood relationship between the party and the people This core is to study in depth how to fully implement the requirements of seeking truth and being pragmatic, further change the style of work, and promote the construction of party style and clean government and anti-corruption. At the same time, the system construction should be run through the party's ideological, organizational and work style construction.

In short, we must inherit and carry forward the "Red Boat Spirit" in the new practice, and under the encouragement and encouragement of the "Red Boat Spirit", we must continue to strengthen the awareness of the forefront, and earnestly reflect the requirements of "walking in the forefront" in the mental state and implement it. In terms of measurement standards, implement various tasks, make persistent efforts, take advantage of the situation, and strive to make positive contributions to the overall situation of the country.
