People's Daily Online, Beijing, July 2 (Huang Ceyu) On July 1, the congress to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China was held in the Great Hall of the People, and Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, delivered an important speech. This morning, People's Daily Online invited Qu Qingshan, member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and director of the Party History Research Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, to the Forum of Powerful Countries to interpret the spirit of General Secretary Xi's speech for netizens.

Qu Qingshan said in the interview that there are many reasons for the great achievements and success of our party in 95 years, and the guidance of scientific theory is one of the important reasons.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech that, "The guiding ideology is the spiritual banner of a political party. For 95 years, the reason why the Communist Party of China has been able to accomplish the arduous tasks that various political forces cannot accomplish since modern times is that it has always taken the scientific theory of Marxism as its own guide to action, and has insisted on enriching and developing Marxism in practice, which has enabled our party to shake off all previous politics We should pursue the limitations of our own special interests, lead and promote the reform of China's revolutionary construction with the scientific spirit of dialectical materialism and selfless and fearless broad mind, and constantly adhere to the truth and correct mistakes. ".

Qu Qingshan said that when the Communist Party of China was founded, there were only more than 50 members in the country. There are 13 representatives of the First National University, of whom the oldest is He Shuheng, a 45 year old representative of Hunan; The youngest representative was Liu Renjing, the representative of Beijing. He was a student of Peking University at that time, only 19 years old. The average age of the 13 deputies was 28. Mao Zedong was 28 that year. At that time, after the Revolution of 1911, party politics rose in China, and there were more than 300 parties and political groups established in the past and after, a large number. So I saw a historical material that said that in Beijing at that time, the first thing people said after meeting was not whether you had eaten, but whether your party? It can be seen that there were many political parties at that time. But when we look back at this period of history, most political parties were short-lived and disappeared from Chinese history. Only the Communist Party of China has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, all the way to today.

Qu Qingshan said that compared with other political parties, the advantage of the Communist Party of China is that we have a scientific theory. Marxism is the guiding ideology and theoretical basis of our Party. Moreover, our party later combined the basic principles of Marxism with the reality of the Chinese revolution and the characteristics of the times, constantly promoted the sinicization of Marxism, and successively produced Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of "Three Represents", and the Scientific Outlook on Development. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a new concept, new thought and new strategy of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China governing the country with Comrade Xi Jinping as General Secretary came into being. These are exactly one of the greatest advantages of our party, which other parties do not have.

Qu Qingshan pointed out that our party is a party of such a nature that it can declare to the world that our party is founded for the public. Since its birth, our party has no special interests of its own party, no private interests. The interests of the party are the interests of the working class, and the interests of the people. The Communist Manifesto says that Communists can only liberate themselves by liberating all mankind. Therefore, our Party has such correct theoretical guidance, which is of such a nature that it can adhere to the truth, correct mistakes and move forward all the way because of the correct ideological guidance. Today, we have two words that are very good. Every time theoretical innovation is further advanced, theoretical armed forces are further advanced. With this, I think we will be invincible. Because a strong ideology makes the Party strong, and a new theory makes the Party new.
