Promoting Chinese Modernization Must Strengthen People's Spiritual Strength

To promote the construction of a powerful country and the great cause of national rejuvenation, we need not only strong material strength, but also strong spiritual strength. In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping regarded "enriching the people's spiritual world" as one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization. Chinese-style modernization is the cause of hundreds of millions of people, and the people are the main body of Chinese-style modernization. To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must organically unify the comprehensive enrichment of promoting things with the all-round development of people. While constantly consolidating the material foundation and realizing material prosperity, we must constantly meet the spiritual needs of the people, enrich the spiritual world of the people, and enhance the spiritual strength of the people.

The essence of modernization is the modernization of human beings, and material abundance and spiritual richness are the inherent requirements of socialist modernization. Chinese-style modernization shows a new picture that is different from the Western modernization model. One of the important aspects is that we have abandoned the capital-centered and materialistic modernization of the West. While promoting the overall enrichment of things, it also promotes the overall development of people. To promote and expand Chinese-style modernization, it is necessary to meet the spiritual needs of the people, enrich the spiritual world of the people, and enhance the spiritual strength of the people.

The spirit is where the power is. To comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization is inseparable from the spiritual strength of the broad masses of people. On the new journey, our future is bright, but the road under our feet will not be a Ma Pingchuan. The great changes in the world unseen in a century have accelerated, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period. Strategic opportunities and risks and challenges coexist. We feel more deeply than ever that "it is more urgent for ships to wander in the middle, and people to the middle of the mountain is steeper." The hardships and dangers of the "vigorous spirit" are more needed than ever. This requires gathering the greatest social consensus, forming the strongest centripetal force, and gathering the majestic force of unity in enriching the spiritual world of the people.

To strengthen the spiritual strength of the people, the most fundamental thing is to strengthen education in ideals and beliefs and build a solid spiritual pillar for the people. Faith, faith, faith, it is vital at all times. As long as we have faith, faith, and confidence, we will be able to fight more and more bravely and continue to move from victory to new victory. Regardless of the past, present or future, belief in Marxism, belief in socialism with Chinese characteristics, and confidence in realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are all powerful spiritual forces that inspire the Chinese people to overcome difficulties. To this end, we must focus on the primary political task of arming the whole party and educating the people with the party's innovative theory, and unremittingly use Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics to cast the soul, in-depth study and implementation of Xi Jinping's cultural thoughts, and in true learning and understanding. Work hard on true use, deepen internalization and transformation, make better use of the party's innovative theory to unify thoughts and actions, and condense the spiritual strength to realize the great rejuvenation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The excellent Chinese traditional culture nurtured in the development of civilization for more than 5000 years is like a long spiritual river, nourishing the spiritual home of the Chinese nation. The excellent traditional Chinese culture contains that the world is for the public, the people are the foundation of the country, the government is based on morality, the old and the new, the appointment of people on their merits, the unity of man and nature, continuous self-improvement, moral integrity, faith and harmony, kindness and good neighbors, etc., which are the Chinese people's long-term production and life An important manifestation of the cosmology, the world outlook, the social outlook, and the morality. We must continue to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, so that it can become the blood gene of the people's spiritual power. It is necessary to use modern art forms to make the excellent traditional Chinese culture flexible. In recent years, some programs and works that contain the charm of Chinese culture have been loved by people. We should create and launch more such cultural products, so that the people can imperceptibly enhance their cultural identity and spiritual strength.

To strengthen the spiritual strength of the people, we must focus on promoting the prosperity and development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries. We must insist on putting social benefits in the first place and unifying social and economic benefits, deepen the reform of the cultural system, improve cultural and economic policies, accelerate the development of new cultural formats, continuously liberate and develop cultural productivity, and expand the supply of high-quality cultural products. While meeting the growing needs of spiritual and cultural life, the wisdom and strength of hundreds of millions of people will be condensed into the great practice of building a powerful country and national rejuvenation, we will overcome the difficulties and challenges on the road ahead with a more proactive spirit.
