Guizhou is rich in revolutionary culture. How will you capitalize on these resources to highlight the distinct features of Guizhou in the campaign for Party history learning and education? Thank you.

Shen Yiqin:

Thank you for your question. I will answer this question. Guizhou is rich in revolutionary culture. The trek of the Red Army's Long March covered more than 60 counties (cities and districts) in Guizhou. The most prominent event here during the Long March was the Zunyi Conference. These valuable revolutionary resources provide teaching materials for Guizhou to conduct Party history learning and education. In particular, the Zunyi Conference, held in 1935, was a vital turning point in the history of the Party. Before the Zunyi Conference, the CPC did not have a strong leadership core and the Chinese revolution had repeatedly met with setbacks and even faced the danger of failure. The Zunyi Conference established the leading position of Comrade Mao Zedong in the Party Central Committee and the Red Army. After the conference, the first generation of the Party's central leadership with Comrade Mao Zedong at its core began to take shape. Since then, the Chinese revolution has taken on a new look and has continued to win repeated victories.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has rallied the Chinese people of all ethnic groups and led them in surmounting various risks and challenges on the road ahead and accomplished historic achievements and changes in the course of the development of the Party and the country. Especially since last year, in moments of crisis and grave challenges, the General Secretary made prompt decisions and personally guided us to create great miracles in winning the battle against the epidemic in a short time, secured a complete victory in eradicating absolute poverty, and realized the only positive economic growth among the world's major economies. As such, the people support General Secretary Xi Jinping more wholeheartedly and embrace the socialist system from the bottom of their hearts.

The CPC's 100-year history has clearly proved that the Party's cause can thrive with a strong leadership core and by supporting the core. Without a strong leadership core, the Party's cause is bound to suffer setbacks and fail to achieve victory. During the campaign on CPC history learning and education, we have fully implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his inspection tour in Guizhou province, carried forward the spirit of the Zunyi Meeting and loyalty to leadership core, and launched an educational campaign encouraging loyal, clean and responsible behavior. We regard doing practical work for the people as our ultimate goal, so we will further utilize revolutionary resources and pass on the traditions of the revolution. We will ask Party members of the province to stay true to their ideals by acting on the Party's original aspiration and mission, be keenly aware 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. They must stay confident in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics; uphold General Secretary Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole; and uphold the Party Central Committee's authority and its centralized, unified leadership. Thank you!
