Like a magnificent sunrise, Marxism illuminates the way for human beings to explore the laws of history and seek their own liberation.

Forging a powerful ideological weapon, Marxism has enabled China, an ancient oriental country, to create an unprecedented development miracle in human history.

"The vitality of theory lies in continuous innovation, and it is the sacred duty of Chinese Communists to promote the continuous development of Marxism."

On May 4, 2018, at the meeting commemorating the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave a powerful speech.

One of the most important reasons why the Communist Party of China has continued to grow and develop through hardships is that it has always attached importance to building the party ideologically and strengthening the party theoretically.

In a great new era, there must be great ideas leading the way.

Since the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has raised the banner of thought and consolidated the foundation of theory, forming Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which is contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st century Marxism, and deeply implements Marxism. As an important institutional arrangement, the study of socialist theory and construction projects have injected surging spiritual power into the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

Under the strong leadership and scientific guidance of the Party Central Committee, the project closely focuses on the fundamental task of learning, researching and propagating Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The talent team and other aspects have achieved fruitful results, and the party's ideological and theoretical construction and socialist ideology construction have taken on a new look.

Strengthen the foundation, keep pace with the times, arm the mind and educate the people with the party's innovative theory

Over 71 million copies!

"Xi Jinping's Study Outline on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" once again refreshed the publication record set by "General Secretary Xi Jinping Series Important Speech Readers" in 2016.

"If a nation wants to stand at the highest peak of science, it must not be without theoretical thinking for a moment." If the Chinese nation wants to achieve a great rejuvenation, it must also not be without theoretical thinking for a moment.

In the decisive stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way and the critical period when socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China established Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guiding ideology that the party must adhere to for a long time and solemnly wrote it into the party constitution. The party's guiding ideology keeps pace with the times. The First Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress passed the Amendment to the Constitution, solemnly enshrining this idea into the Constitution, and realizing the advancement of the country's guiding ideology with the times.

In the new era, the most important task of strengthening ideological building and strengthening the party in theory is to arm the whole party with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, educate the people, and promote this thought to go deep, to the reality, and to the heart, so that This idea took root, blossomed and bore fruit, and led the "China" revival ship to break through the waves with the ideological torch.

——Seize the "key few", the "leading goose effect" is very important.

The "Thirty Lectures on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" compiled by the engineering organization takes "eight clarifications" and "fourteen insistences" as the core content and main basis, and explains in depth the significance of this important thought in the form of a special topic. Meaning, rich connotation and spiritual essence, and the production of multimedia courseware with pictures and texts, audio and picture in the same frame, to help party members and cadres listen to and learn new ideas.

The "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" written by the engineering organization is rich in content, well-organized in structure, faithful to the original text, and vivid and simple in style. Cadre System provides authoritative reading for grasping new ideas.

Combining the key points and difficulties in the study, the editors of the engineering organization issued "Correctly Understanding and Scientifically Grasping the Overall Strategy of the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation", "Comprehensively and In-depth Understanding of the Great Changes Unseen in the World in a Century", "Enhancing the Awareness of Suffering, Preventing Risks and Challenges, Coordinating and Promoting Epidemic Prevention and Control and Economic and Social Development Work" and other "Party Committee Center Group Study Reference", which provide important materials for leading cadres to study. Carry out the party committee (party group) theoretical study center group to attend and observe, supervise and inspect the learning situation, promote the transformation of the "soft task" of theoretical study into a "hard constraint", and lead cadres to take the lead in learning and follow up learning to become a new way of learning, thinking and practicing The "vanguard" and "leader" of thought.

——Demonstrating the power of theoretical truth is based on research and interpretation.

Theory both shapes and constructs. Any theory in the world is the result of shaping and constructing from scratch, and it is a rational reflection and refinement of practice.

Shortly after the closing of the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the approval of the Party Central Committee, 10 research centers (academies) of Xi Jinping’s thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era were established in the Central Party School, the Ministry of Education, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the National Defense University, Beijing, and Shanghai. , Guangdong Province, Peking University, Tsinghua University and Renmin University of China were established.

With strong research capabilities and a capable research team, these new platforms have played a major role in the study and interpretation of the party's innovation theory:

"Basic Issues of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" published in August 2020 is an important achievement of the Central Party School Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. This work has put a lot of effort into the theoretical construction of the party's innovation theory, and it has taken a step forward.

Since the beginning of this year, Xi Jinping's New Era Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Research Center (Institute), the national and provincial research centers of socialism with Chinese characteristics have published more than 1,000 theoretical articles in major central newspapers and periodicals, "Talking about what and why , It not only talks about how to see, but also how to do it, which effectively enhances the persuasive and appealing power of the theory."

New era, new goals, new journey.

The project has held a series of theoretical seminars in Beijing, Shanghai, Fujian and other places to study, publicize and implement Xi Jinping's socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era, conduct in-depth discussions and exchanges, grasp the theoretical overview at the macro level, explore the spiritual connotation at the micro level, and understand the theory Carry out new deepening and expansion.

——To realize the theory of "flying into the homes of ordinary people", the focus is on promoting popularization and popularization.

In January this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping specially visited the Ai Siqi Memorial Hall during his inspection in Yunnan, emphasizing that the spread of Marxism should not be based on scriptures and excerpts from chapters, but should be popularized and popularized.

Just a year ago, a new ideological learning platform based on all party members and facing the whole society - "Learning Power" was unveiled, and the total number of registered users exceeded 100 million within three months of its launch. 17 sections, more than 180 first-level columns, a large number of free periodicals and books, open video courses, and audio-visual works better meet the diverse, independent, and convenient learning needs of cadres and the masses. "Learning Power" was selected as one of the "Top Ten Chinese Media Buzzwords in 2019".

The project launched a series of popular theoretical readings such as "Rule of Law Face to Face", "Comprehensive Well-off Hot Spots Face to Face", "New Era Face to Face", "New China Development Face to Face", "Chinese System Face to Face" and other series of popular theoretical readings, with a total circulation of tens of millions of copies; "Marx Was Right" " Feature films such as "The Road to Poverty Alleviation", "The Only Way to Take" and "We Are on the Great Road" have sparked an upsurge of film-watching and enthusiastic response across the country; the National Museum's special exhibition on the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth has attracted more than 1.2 million viewers.

Actively explore the form of object-oriented and interactive presentations. The project uses "small cuts" to explain the main principles, and "things around you" to confirm "things in the world".

The Party Member Volunteer Service Team in the "Communist Manifesto" Exhibition Hall of Fudan University, and Du Fuguo, the "Hero of Demining"... the collectives and individuals who preached one by one fully demonstrated the beauty of the theory being close to the public.

The 7-episode cartoon "Leader" launched by the engineering organization landed on the Internet. It was the first time in the form of animation to reproduce Marx's life of lofty ideals and unremitting struggle for human liberation. Youku animation hot search list top.

Nowadays, Marx is no longer a "familiar stranger", and the classic works of "tall and tall" are increasingly recognized and concerned by young people.

Once a theory is grasped by the masses, it becomes a powerful material force.

Under the banner of Marxism, under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the theoretical research and construction of Marxism has accelerated, the vitality, creativity, and appeal of Marxism have become increasingly evident, and the light of thought on the land of China has transformed into progress Weili's vivid animation unfolds gradually.

Tackling difficult topics and working hard to enhance theoretical interpretation, discourse persuasion, and practical impetus

Fifteen years ago, in the midsummer, Yucun was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with bamboo seas stretching, showing the charm of the south of the Yangtze River. In this small village in northern Zhejiang, Xi Jinping, then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, creatively proposed for the first time the idea that "lucid waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains".

Fifteen years later, an engineering forum around this major idea was also held here. Experts participating in the meeting conducted in-depth discussions on the historical context, philosophical thinking, and theoretical essence of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought.

This is a green covenant that spans time, and it is also a feast of ideas combining theory and practice.

Grasp the pulse of the times and untie the buttons of thought.

Engineering experts vigorously carry out research on overall, forward-looking, and strategic issues, and strengthen the analysis and guidance of major ideological and theoretical issues. The influence, persuasion, and combat effectiveness of Marxism have been continuously improved.

——Take major issues as the main direction of attack

The project gives full play to the advantages of high-level talents in theoretical research, close contact with practical departments, and strong radiation and driving effects. It has successively set up more than 200 major projects, organized elite troops to carry out concentrated research, and launched a large number of theoretically in-depth and decision-making references. Research results.

Launched "The World Significance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era", "Research on Sino-US Relations in the New Era", "Research on the New Connotation of the Important Strategic Opportunity Period for my country's Development", "Research on Social Structure and Class Changes", "Research on Contemporary Foreign Marxism", etc. Major topics, many research results have been instructed by the central leadership comrades, providing reference and enlightenment for governing the country and governing, consulting and educating people.

The project project "Research on the Rules of the Communist Party of China" undertaken by the Central Party History and Documentation Research Institute conducted multi-dimensional research on the rules of the Communist Party of China, and formed a series of special reports and research articles such as "Research on the Major Historical Contributions and Historical Experience of the Communist Party of China in the Founding of the Communist Party of China" , published "The New Realm of Understanding the Rules of the Communist Party of China" and other phased research results, which have been widely praised by the social science theoretical circles.

——Innovation Theoretical Research Working Mechanism

The most extensive and profound social changes and the most ambitious and unique practical innovations in contemporary China have created an incomparably broad space for theoretical development and provided new research topics.

The project carefully organizes the "five-way army" of theoretical research, gives full play to the enthusiasm of universities, party schools, and social science research institutions, focuses on integrating superior resources, strengthens integration, breaks the boundaries of different regions, different disciplines, and different fields, and conducts "corps-style" "Cluster" coordinated operations have produced a scale effect.

The project "Comprehensively Advancing the Research on Major Practical Issues of Governing the Country by Law" brought together dozens of legal scholars from well-known universities, research institutes and practical departments across the country; the project "Research on Major Strategies of the Yangtze River Economic Belt" was led by the Propaganda Department of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee , bringing together the research forces of Jiangsu, Hubei, Chongqing, Sichuan and other places; the topic of "the world's major changes unseen in a century" mobilized the Central Party School, the China Institute of International Studies, the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations and other research units to pool their brains and collective efforts... in the organization of major In terms of subject research, the project has embarked on a new path of cross-regional and cross-field cooperative research.

——Gathering consensus in the process of discrimination and guidance

The project focuses on funding and supporting the construction of theoretical pages of 6 central newspapers and periodicals and 33 provincial party newspapers, adheres to theoretical establishment and management of theoretical pages, promotes the construction of communication content, communication channels, communication teams, and communication mechanisms, and strives to improve the persuasiveness of theoretical articles. We will strive to create an all-media matrix for multi-level theoretical dissemination, and give full play to the ideological leading role of party newspapers and periodicals.

At the critical moment, it is especially necessary to raise the flag and sword and dare to fight when agitating the turbidity and promoting the righteousness.

Focusing on the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences led the project "Research on the New Era and the 70 Years of New China's Historical Experience" and published a series of theoretical articles such as "The Great Significance of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Entering the New Era in the History of Human Social Development"; Focusing on the great struggle against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, articles such as "Turning the Tide and Stealing the Universe-Vivid Practice of the Party Central Committee's Anti-epidemic Struggle with Comrade Xi Jinping as the Core" and "Immortal Spiritual Monument in the New Era"...Dare to speak out, be good at speaking, use The correct voice occupies the position of public opinion, demonstrating the power of facts and the power of morality.

In the face of erroneous thoughts such as "constitutional democracy" in the West, neo-liberalism, historical nihilism, populism, idealism, etc., in the face of distorting the party's line principles and policies, distorting party history and national history and other noises, engineering experts turn their pens into swords in In the theoretical struggle, clear away the fog of thought and let the truth become clearer and clearer.

Actively fight the strategic initiative in the ideological field, and never leave room for erroneous views to spread.

In order to clarify the pessimistic theories, "America-phobic theories" and "China has no theories" in the Sino-US economic and trade frictions, and in the face of the false remarks made by American politicians to smear and attack China, the project has successively released "Don't Be Afraid of Floating Clouds to Cover Your Eyes" and "Jing Jing". Heavyweight articles such as "The Origin of Wei is Two Clear" and "No Force Can Stop the Progress of the Chinese People and the Chinese Nation" deeply expose and criticize the performance and harm of the US government's bullying behavior; Speech, the project published a series of articles such as "Punch with one punch, avoid a hundred punches - the decision to send troops to resist US aggression and aid Korea"... Make breakthroughs at the same time, rectify the evil, and "Zhong Xuanli" has become a loud voice that leads ideology, public opinion, and unifies social consensus brand.

Cultivate people with morality, cultivate souls with concentration, and cultivate newcomers of the era with firm beliefs and shouldering the great responsibility of national rejuvenation

Youth is the most sensitive barometer of the era, and the value orientation of youth determines the value orientation of the entire society in the future.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the symposium for teachers of ideological and political theory courses in schools that our party is determined to achieve the great cause of the Chinese nation. talent.

——To build morality and cultivate people, it is necessary to plant the seeds of faith in the hearts of the broad masses, especially young people.

After the waves surged, the "youth preaching" set off waves of enthusiasm. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, based on the new era, the project has taken cultivating and cultivating young Marxists as a major task, continuously strengthening grassroots publicity work, and constantly promoting Marxism to enter the minds and hearts of young people, and is committed to making young people become Marxists Loyal believers, active communicators, and firm practitioners, let the power of faith arouse empathy among young people.

——Learning morality and cultivating people, we must do a good job in the "bull nose" of teaching material construction.

The construction of teaching materials is an important support for educating people and casting souls, and it undertakes the important task of Xi Jinping's new era of socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics.

Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the project has made it a major political task to promote the party's innovative theories into textbooks, classrooms, and minds. It has quickly launched the revision of college ideological and political courses and engineering liberal arts professional courses. In 2018, it launched "An Introduction to the Basic Principles of Marxism" "" "Mao Zedong Thought and an Introduction to the Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics", "Outline of Modern Chinese History", "Ideological and Moral Cultivation and Legal Foundation" and other revised editions of compulsory textbooks for ideological and political courses in colleges and universities, with a circulation of nearly 70 million copies; The textbooks for undergraduate political courses are supplemented with tutoring books to help front-line teachers "understand the textbooks" and "teach the textbooks live".

At the same time, the project has basically completed the revision of more than 20 key textbooks for professional courses such as "Marxist Philosophy", "Introduction to Scientific Socialism", "Introduction to History", "Introduction to Political Science", "Constitutional Law", "Introduction to Journalism" and "Western Economics", which fully reflects The party's theoretical innovation, practical innovation and the latest progress in subject research are becoming more and more complete.

——To build morality and cultivate people, we must build the main front of Marxist education and teaching.

On October 30th, Zhengzhou, Henan, the Second National Key Marxist College Secretary Forum was held at Zhengzhou University. Responsible comrades, experts and scholars from more than 30 national key equine academies including Peking University, Renmin University of China, and Nankai University gathered together to exchange typical experiences and summarize advanced practices.

Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the project has adhered to the clear orientation of "the surname of Ma Yuan is Ma, and the name of Ma is in Ma". It has selected and supported the construction of 37 national key Marxist colleges in three batches, and formulated and implemented standards for the construction of Marxist colleges in colleges and universities. Today, driven by the key horse academies, the quality of the discipline construction of Marxist theory has been significantly improved, and the discipline assessment standards have been continuously optimized along the direction of highlighting the effectiveness of educating people and taking into account teaching and scientific research. The whole society attaches importance to and supports the construction of the horse academies. It is more intense, and the National Horse Academy is gradually realizing an overall leap.

——To build morality and cultivate people, we must teach the key course of ideological and political courses well.

"I remember the teacher once asked us, have you read the "Communist Manifesto"? Later, we read this book again and again. Every time we read it, we will sigh its character and strength..." This is "telling the post-90s A section of the "Marx" audio party class, since April 2018, the total number of listeners of the program has exceeded 300 million.

"Internet celebrity ideological and political courses" has triggered a "drama-chasing" effect among young audiences across the country, and studios of famous teachers of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities have emerged one after another. , Through the innovation and reform of teachers, teaching materials, and teaching methods, the project has thoroughly implemented the "Several Opinions on Deepening the Reform and Innovation of Ideological and Political Theory Courses in Schools in the New Era", focusing on strengthening ideological and political effectiveness.

Nowadays, among the majority of students, ideological and political courses are becoming a "golden class" that has connotation, can "quench thirst", and shows individuality. It continuously strengthens teachers and students' political identity, ideological identity, and emotional identity, and makes the seeds of faith bloom more beautiful flowers. , Harvest more fruitful fruits, and inspire the patriotic ambitions and trips to serve the country of the majority of young people.

Sail the sails, continue to struggle, and constantly open up a new situation in the ideological and theoretical construction of the new era

Without "Hong" can't overcome its weight, without "Yi" can't make it far.

Continuing the pursuit of "Hongdao" and the spirit of "Hongyi", the project has insisted on putting talents first and foremost for many years, and has taken the cultivation of excellent theoretical talents as an important task, leading tens of thousands of experts and scholars in the new journey of ideological and theoretical construction Go forward with all your might.

They fulfill their responsibilities for the country, offer strategies for the people, and serve as think tanks in special forums.

Among engineering experts, there are some special scholars.

"Basic principles and methodology of dialectical materialism", "Basic principles and methodology of Marxist political economy", "my country's Constitution and promoting the comprehensive rule of law", "Government of officials in Chinese history", "Keep in mind the original mission and promote self-revolution"... Around a series of Major topics, since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, many engineering experts have participated in collective learning and teaching for the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, providing reference for the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee.

They worked hard, dedicated themselves, and used their firm stance and profound knowledge to ensure good political and academic relations for the project.

The Engineering Advisory Committee is composed of well-known experts and scholars in various fields in my country's contemporary ideological and theoretical circles. At an octogenarian age, they are still ignorant and have never changed their original intentions. They have shown a sincere heart for the research and construction of Marxist theory, and demonstrated their dedication to the party and the people. The strong responsibility of the cause is called "an admirable group".

According to incomplete statistics, over the years, the average annual review volume of only the advisory committee has exceeded 10 million words. They overcame many difficulties in body and work, worked tirelessly, meticulously and diligently, contributed ideas and suggestions for the advancement of the party's theoretical construction and the consolidation of the theoretical position, and never slack off.

Many outstanding theorists have devoted themselves to the further advancement of the project, interpreting the academic spirit of "endless life and endless struggle", leaving precious spiritual wealth for future generations.

They passed on the torch and continued to move forward, giving birth to fruitful achievements in the research and construction of Marxist theory.

Over the years, the project has given full play to its role as a bridge, taking the process of project implementation as the process of cultivating talents. Generation after generation of Marxist theorists have passed on the torch and continued to move forward, showing their firm belief and fervent mind. It is because of them that this strategic project and basic project, which is related to the overall development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, has become more solid and stable.

Based on their posts, they devote themselves to cultivation, and act as ideological enlighteners and guides in the practice of teaching and educating people.

As of November this year, the total number of full-time and part-time teachers of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities across the country registered in the library reached 106,411, breaking through the 100,000 mark for the first time. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the average annual growth rate of ideological and political teachers in colleges and universities was 14.4%, of which the growth rate of full-time teachers reached 65.5%.

The rapid growth of data reflects the growth of the team of Marxist theoretical talents. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a large number of engineering experts have worked quietly in the forum, practicing the lofty mission of "letting people with faith speak their faith". In accordance with the requirements of strong politics, deep feelings, new thinking, broad vision, strict self-discipline, and positive personality, engineering experts work hard, take the classroom as the main position to play their role, and undertake the important task of the era of casting souls and educating people.

Gather talents and focus on the long-term. The project focuses on the future, and continuously strengthens the construction of the reserve talent team.

Since the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the project has strengthened the training of outstanding talents in the theoretical field, and formulated the "2020-2024 Philosophy and Social Science Teaching and Research Backbone Training Work Plan" around the long-term planning of talents; and done a good job in the "four batches" of talent training courses , held more than 100 research classes at all levels, and trained more than 13,000 students; improved the national, local, and university three-level training system, strengthened demonstration training for teachers, and held backbone seminars continuously, training 80,000 person-times, which has effectively improved the philosophy and society. The ideological level and professional ability of practitioners in the scientific field.

After years of hard work, a group of academic leaders with a solid theoretical foundation and the courage to pioneer and innovate have emerged, a group of young and middle-aged academic backbones who are young and enterprising and enterprising have taken on major responsibilities, and a group of innovative teams with scientific and reasonable structures, distinctive professional characteristics and solid research foundations compete emerge.

Today, engineering has become an important position for cultivating Marxist theoretical backbones and top-notch talents. It plays an important role in building a philosophy and social science system with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese style, and constantly breaking new ground in ideological and theoretical construction in the new era.

The mountains are far away and the rivers are wide, and the road ahead is long; the truth is like a torch, and the mission is on our shoulders.

The cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics is moving forward, and the process of Sinicization of Marxism will never stop. As a long-term strategic task, the promotion of Marxist theoretical research and construction projects can only be carried out and not completed. It will continue to provide theoretical support for the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and write a new era of upholding and developing a society with Chinese characteristics. A new chapter in doctrine.
