此时此刻,我们深切怀念为中国革命、建设、改革,为中国共产党建立、巩固、发展作出重大贡献的毛泽东、周恩来、刘少奇、朱德、邓小平、陈云同志等老一辈革命家,深切怀念为建立、捍卫、建设新中国英勇牺牲的革命先烈,深切怀念为改革开放和社会主义现代化建设英勇献身的革命烈士,深切怀念近代以来为民族独立和人民解放顽强奋斗的所有仁人志士。他们为祖国和民族建立的丰功伟绩永载史册!他们的崇高精神永远铭记在人民心中!
Let us take this moment to cherish the memory of comrades Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun, and other veteran revolutionaries who contributed greatly to China’s revolution, construction, and reform, and to the founding, consolidation, and development of the Communist Party of China; let us cherish the memory of the revolutionary martyrs who bravely laid down their lives to establish, defend, and develop the People’s Republic; let us cherish the memory of those who dedicated their lives to reform, opening up, and socialist modernization; and let us cherish the memory of all the men and women who fought tenaciously for national independence and the liberation of the people in modern times. Their great contributions to our motherland and our nation will be immortalized in the annals of history, and their noble spirit will live on forever in the hearts of the Chinese people.
人民是历史的创造者,是真正的英雄。我代表党中央,向全国广大工人、农民、知识分子,向各民主党派和无党派人士、各人民团体、各界爱国人士,向人民解放军指战员、武警部队官兵、公安干警和消防救援队伍指战员,向全体社会主义劳动者,向统一战线广大成员,致以崇高的敬意!向香港特别行政区同胞、澳门特别行政区同胞和台湾同胞以及广大侨胞,致以诚挚的问候!向一切同中国人民友好相处,关心和支持中国革命、建设、改革事业的各国人民和朋友,致以衷心的谢意!
The people are the true heroes, for it is they who create history. On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, I would like to pay my highest respects to workers, farmers, and intellectuals across the country; to other political parties, public figures without party affiliation, people’s organizations, and patriotic figures from all sectors of society; to all members of the People’s Liberation Army, the People’s Armed Police Force, the public security police, and the fire and rescue services; to all socialist working people; and to all members of the united front. I would like to extend my sincere greetings to compatriots in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions and in Taiwan as well as overseas Chinese. And I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to people and friends from around the world who have shown friendship to the Chinese people and understanding and support for China’s endeavors in revolution, development, and reform.
同志们、朋友们!
Comrades and friends,
初心易得,始终难守。以史为鉴,可以知兴替。我们要用历史映照现实、远观未来,从中国共产党的百年奋斗中看清楚过去我们为什么能够成功、弄明白未来我们怎样才能继续成功,从而在新的征程上更加坚定、更加自觉地牢记初心使命、开创美好未来。
Though our Party’s founding mission is easy to define, ensuring that we stay true to this mission is a more difficult task. By learning from history, we can understand why powers rise and fall. Through the mirror of history, we can find where we currently stand and gain foresight into the future. Looking back on the Party’s 100-year history, we can see why we were successful in the past and how we can continue to succeed in the future. This will ensure that we act with greater resolve and purpose in staying true to our founding mission and pursuing a better future on the new journey that lies before us. As we put conscious effort into learning from history to create a bright future, we must bear the following in mind:
——以史为鉴、开创未来,必须坚持中国共产党坚强领导。办好中国的事情,关键在党。中华民族近代以来180多年的历史、中国共产党成立以来100年的历史、中华人民共和国成立以来70多年的历史都充分证明,没有中国共产党,就没有新中国,就没有中华民族伟大复兴。历史和人民选择了中国共产党。中国共产党领导是中国特色社会主义最本质的特征,是中国特色社会主义制度的最大优势,是党和国家的根本所在、命脉所在,是全国各族人民的利益所系、命运所系。
We must uphold the firm leadership of the Party. China’s success hinges on the Party. The more than 180-year-long modern history of the Chinese nation, the 100-year-long history of the Party, and the more than 70-year-long history of the People’s Republic of China all provide ample evidence that without the Communist Party of China, there would be no new China and no national rejuvenation. The Party was chosen by history and the people. The leadership of the Party is the defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and constitutes the greatest strength of this system. It is the foundation and lifeblood of the Party and the country, and the crux upon which the interests and wellbeing of all Chinese people depend.
新的征程上,我们必须坚持党的全面领导,不断完善党的领导,增强“四个意识”、坚定“四个自信”、做到“两个维护”,牢记“国之大者”,不断提高党科学执政、民主执政、依法执政水平,充分发挥党总揽全局、协调各方的领导核心作用!
On the journey ahead, we must uphold the Party’s overall leadership and continue to enhance its leadership. We must be deeply conscious of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership. We must stay confident in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must uphold the core position of the General Secretary on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and uphold the Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership. Bearing in mind the country’s most fundamental interests, we must enhance the Party’s capacity to conduct sound, democratic, and law-based governance, and ensure that it fully exerts its core role in providing overall leadership and coordinating the efforts of all sides.
——以史为鉴、开创未来,必须团结带领中国人民不断为美好生活而奋斗。江山就是人民、人民就是江山,打江山、守江山,守的是人民的心。中国共产党根基在人民、血脉在人民、力量在人民。中国共产党始终代表最广大人民根本利益,与人民休戚与共、生死相依,没有任何自己特殊的利益,从来不代表任何利益集团、任何权势团体、任何特权阶层的利益。任何想把中国共产党同中国人民分割开来、对立起来的企图,都是绝不会得逞的!9500多万中国共产党人不答应!14亿多中国人民也不答应!
We must unite and lead the Chinese people in working ceaselessly for a better life. This country is its people; the people are the country. As we have fought to establish and consolidate our leadership over the country, we have in fact been fighting to earn and keep the people’s support. The Party has in the people its roots, its lifeblood, and its source of strength. The Party has always represented the fundamental interests of all Chinese people; it stands with them through thick and thin and shares a common fate with them. The Party has no special interests of its own—it has never represented any individual interest group, power group, or privileged stratum. Any attempt to divide the Party from the Chinese people or to set the people against the Party is bound to fail. The more than 95 million Party members and the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people will never allow such a scenario to come to pass.
新的征程上,我们必须紧紧依靠人民创造历史,坚持全心全意为人民服务的根本宗旨,站稳人民立场,贯彻党的群众路线,尊重人民首创精神,践行以人民为中心的发展思想,发展全过程人民民主,维护社会公平正义,着力解决发展不平衡不充分问题和人民群众急难愁盼问题,推动人的全面发展、全体人民共同富裕取得更为明显的实质性进展!
On the journey ahead, we must rely closely on the people to create history. Upholding the Party’s fundamental purpose of wholeheartedly serving the people, we will stand firmly with the people, implement the Party’s mass line, respect the people’s creativity, and practice a people-centered philosophy of development. We will develop whole-process people’s democracy, safeguard social fairness and justice, and resolve the imbalances and inadequacies in development and the most pressing difficulties and problems that are of great concern to the people. In doing so, we will make more notable and substantive progress toward achieving well-rounded human development and common prosperity for all.
——以史为鉴、开创未来,必须继续推进马克思主义中国化。马克思主义是我们立党立国的根本指导思想,是我们党的灵魂和旗帜。中国共产党坚持马克思主义基本原理,坚持实事求是,从中国实际出发,洞察时代大势,把握历史主动,进行艰辛探索,不断推进马克思主义中国化时代化,指导中国人民不断推进伟大社会革命。中国共产党为什么能,中国特色社会主义为什么好,归根到底是因为马克思主义行!
We must continue to adapt Marxism to the Chinese context. Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology upon which our Party and country are founded; it is the very soul of our Party and the banner under which it strives. The Communist Party of China upholds the basic tenets of Marxism and the principle of seeking truth from facts. Based on China’s realities, we have developed keen insights into the trends of the day, seized the initiative in history, and made painstaking explorations. We have thus been able to keep adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times, and to guide the Chinese people in advancing our great social revolution. At the fundamental level, the capability of our Party and the strengths of socialism with Chinese characteristics are attributable to the fact that Marxism works.
新的征程上,我们必须坚持马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想、科学发展观,全面贯彻新时代中国特色社会主义思想,坚持把马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际相结合、同中华优秀传统文化相结合,用马克思主义观察时代、把握时代、引领时代,继续发展当代中国马克思主义、21世纪马克思主义!
On the journey ahead, we must continue to uphold Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development, and fully implement the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. We must continue to adapt the basic tenets of Marxism to China’s specific realities and its fine traditional culture. We will use Marxism to observe, understand, and steer the trends of our times, and continue to develop the Marxism of contemporary China and in the 21st century.
