Keep in mind the initial mission and promote self-revolution.

　　While the theme education of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Keep in mind the mission" is being carried out in depth, today, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee conducted the 15th collective study with the theme of "Keep in mind the initial mission and promote self-revolution", with the purpose of summing up the historical experience of the Party and combining with the new requirements of the new era, pushing the whole party to do a good job in the theme education around keeping the initial heart, undertaking the mission, finding the gap and grasping the implementation. This is also an important arrangement for the Political Bureau of the Central Committee to take the lead in developing theme education.

　　As a century-old party, how to maintain its advanced nature and purity, its youthful vitality, its support and support from the people, and its long-term governance are fundamental issues that we must answer and solve. Our party requires all party members to remember Do not forget your initiative mind’s mission, that is, to remind all party members that the party’s initial intention and mission are the concentrated expression of the party’s nature, purpose, ideals, beliefs and goals. The longer it is in power, the less it can lose the true colors of Marxist political parties, the less it can forget the party’s initial intention and mission, and the less it can lose the spirit of self-revolution.

　　Our party’s initial intention and mission are based on Marxist scientific theory. Marx and Engels solemnly declared in the communist party Declaration: "All the movements in the past were for a few people or for the benefit of a few people. The proletarian movement belongs to the vast majority of people and is an independent movement for the benefit of the vast majority of people. " Our Party is a political party armed with Marxism. It has always regarded seeking happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation as its initial intention and mission, and it has been consistently reflected in all the Party’s struggles. Forget this initial heart and mission, the party will change its nature and color, and it will lose its people and its future. As long as our Party firmly insists on building the Party for the public and governing for the people, striving for the happiness of the people of China and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, constantly examining itself, not covering up its shortcomings, and resolutely fighting against all phenomena that weaken the Party’s advanced nature and purity and endanger the Party’s health, it will certainly be able to remain invincible.

　　回顾党的历史，为什么我们党在那么弱小的情况下能够逐步发展壮大起来，在腥风血雨中能够一次次绝境重生，在攻坚克难中能够不断从胜利走向胜利，根本原因就在于不管是处于顺境还是逆境，我们党始终坚守为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴这个初心和使命，义无反顾向着这个目标前进，从而赢得了人民衷心拥护和坚定支持。革命战争时期，为实现民族独立、人民解放，我们党百折不挠、浴血奋战，团结带领人民夺取了新民主主义革命胜利，建立了新中国，实现了人民当家作主。新中国成立后，为改变我国一穷二白的落后面貌，我们党迎难而上、艰苦奋斗，团结带领人民确立了社会主义基本制度，取得社会主义建设重大成就。改革开放新时期，为推进改革开放和社会主义现代化建设，我们党解放思想、实事求是、与时俱进，团结带领人民开辟了中国特色社会主义道路，使中华民族大踏步赶上时代，以崭新姿态屹立于世界民族之林。

　　Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and we are closer, more confident and capable of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history. Our achievements have attracted worldwide attention, which deserves our pride, but we must not be complacent. I have said: "It is not easy to be prepared for danger in times of peace when you are successful, and to maintain the mental state of making great efforts in the early days of starting a business. It is not easy to be frugal and restrained after taking power, and it is not easy to treat officials strictly, prevent corrosion and abstain from extravagance during the period of peace. It is not easy to follow the trend and conform to the people’s hearts at the critical moment of major change." We must not lose our revolutionary spirit and fighting spirit amid cheers and praises, and gradually fall into a state of complacency, lack of progress, and lust for pleasure. Instead, we must bear in mind that it is more urgent to wander in the middle of a boat, and it is steeper for people to get halfway up the mountain. We should regard Do not forget your initiative mind and bearing in mind the mission as the eternal task of strengthening party building and the lifelong task of all party member and cadres.

　　做到不忘初心、牢记使命，并不是一件容易的事情，必须有强烈的自我革命精神。在新的征程上，我们要把党建设成为始终走在时代前列、人民衷心拥护、勇于自我革命、经得起各种风浪考验、朝气蓬勃的马克思主义执政党，就必须牢记初心和使命，在新时代把党的自我革命推向深入。

　　This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, and our party has been in power for 70 years. The ancients said: "Born in sorrow, died in happiness." As the largest party in the world, our party can’t be defeated by any external force, only ourselves can be defeated. The ancients said, "It’s more important to make amends than to be innocent." It should be noted that under the long-term ruling conditions, all kinds of factors that weaken the Party’s advanced nature and damage the Party’s purity are always present, and all kinds of dangers that violate its initial intention and mission and shake the Party’s foundation are everywhere. If it is not strictly guarded and rectified in time, it will be difficult to return over time, and small problems will become big problems, small piping will become big landslides, and may even lead to overall and subversive disasters.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the effect of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way has been remarkable, and the people of the whole country have highly praised it, but we cannot be complacent. We should be soberly aware that outstanding problems such as impure politics, impure ideology, impure organization and impure style of work within the Party have not been fundamentally solved, and some problems that have been solved may rebound, and new problems continue to emerge. The "four major tests" and "four dangers" are still complex and severe, and the Party’s self-revolution has a long way to go, and we must never have the idea of stopping and taking a break. The serious problem is not that there is a problem, but that you are unwilling to face the problem and don’t want to solve it. Do not forget your initiative mind, keep in mind that the mission depends on the joint efforts of the whole party. Every party member and cadre, especially leading cadres, must always worry about the party’s heart, be responsible for the party and strengthen the party’s ambition, and actively participate in this theme education.

　　Marxism is a sharp ideological weapon that guides us to transform the objective world and the subjective world. In the process of promoting Marxism in China, our Party has successively formed the thoughts of Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents, Scientific Outlook on Development and Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, which has provided a powerful ideological weapon for promoting social revolution and self-revolution. Our party has inherited and developed the Marxist theory of party building, and formed rich ideological achievements about the party’s self-revolution, such as strengthening ideals and beliefs, strengthening party spirit cultivation, strictly administering the party, being serious about political life within the party, insisting on the combination of regular education and centralized education, being brave in criticism and self-criticism, strengthening inner-party supervision, accepting people’s supervision, and constantly purifying the party’s thoughts, organization, style and body. These are all important experiences in promoting the Party’s self-revolution, which should be fully utilized and continuously developed in this theme education.

　　Do not forget your initiative mind, bear in mind the mission, in the final analysis, is to solve all kinds of problems existing in the party that violate the initial intention and mission. The key is to have the consciousness of facing up to the problems and the courage to cut the blade inward. No matter when, the problem always exists objectively. We should examine and find our own shortcomings with the attitude of "a gentleman examines himself and often has one", so as to be brave after knowing shame. We must adhere to the problem orientation and solve problems with real knives and guns. A disease that can be cured will be dragged into an incurable disease. Judging from the actual situation, there are various outstanding problems in the party, so we should comprehensively find out and make full efforts. In the party’s political construction, it is necessary to ensure the party’s centralization and unity, promote the whole party to strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences" and achieve the "two safeguards", purify the political ecology, promptly remove political hidden dangers such as two sides, and prevent and resolve political risks. In the party’s ideological construction, we should persistently strengthen theoretical arms, strengthen ideals and beliefs, keep in mind the nature and purpose of the party, strengthen party spirit cultivation, effectively solve some problems such as party member’s and cadres’ lack of ideals and beliefs, and dilute their sense of purpose, and constantly enhance the party consciousness and party member consciousness of all Party members. In terms of the party’s organizational construction, it is necessary to improve the party’s organizational system, rectify weak and lax party organizations, continuously enhance the creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness of party organizations at all levels, resolutely oppose individualism, decentralism, liberalism, egoism and good people, and correct the orientation of employing people.Purify the atmosphere of employing people and resolutely rectify the unhealthy trend in selecting and employing people. In the construction of the Party’s work style and discipline, we should persist in rectifying the "four winds", pay close attention to solving outstanding problems such as formalism and bureaucracy strongly reflected by the people, cadres’ inaction and infringement on the interests of the masses, continue to maintain the anti-corruption and high-pressure situation, eradicate the malignant tumor parasitic on the Party’s body, and keep the Party’s health forever. The eight outstanding problems listed in this theme education are all problems that may shake the party’s foundation and hinder the party’s cause, and must be solved with a thorough spirit of self-revolution. The people often see clearly some outstanding problems within the party. Party member and cadres’ original intentions have not changed, and their mission is not firmly remembered, which should be evaluated by the masses and tested by practice. We can’t engage in self-revolution behind closed doors, but we should listen to the opinions of the people and consciously accept their supervision.

　　At the Third Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection held at the beginning of this year, I summarized the connotations of the Party’s self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement. These "four selves" are both broken and established, including the method of treating diseases by applying drugs and moving knives and strengthening the body. We should make great efforts in self-purification, and constantly purify the Party’s ranks by filtering impurities, removing toxins and removing cancer, so as to ensure the Party’s physical health. The ancients said: "The world can’t always be ruled, and if there are disadvantages, it should be reformed." The Jewish people can’t always be safe, and they should be treated if they have diseases. " To cure diseases and save lives, you can’t stop taking medicine. You have to take some strong medicine for those stubborn diseases, and you have to use a knife for tumors with the risk of virus spread. We should make great efforts in self-improvement, persist in making up shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, strengthen the foundation, prevent the source, cure the symptoms, plug the loopholes in the system, improve the supervision mechanism, and enhance the party’s long-term ruling ability. Just like people, if they are weak, they need to make up, and if their immunity drops, they need to strengthen. If you ignore it, your health will go from bad to worse, and you will regret it when the problem is serious. As the saying goes, "If you don’t fill the nest, you will eventually break the embankment." We should strive for a breakthrough in self-innovation, profoundly grasp the development trend of the times, resolutely get rid of all outdated ideological concepts and institutional mechanisms, bravely promote theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation, cultural innovation and all aspects of innovation, and constantly open up the future through innovation. We should work hard on self-improvement, consciously learn from books, practice and the people.Strengthen party spirit training and political experience, constantly improve the political realm, ideological realm and moral realm, comprehensively enhance the ruling ability, and build a team of high-quality professional cadres who are loyal and clean.

　　Keep in mind the initial intention and mission, promote the party’s self-revolution, and pay attention to handling the following relations. First, we must persist in strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the Party and solving problems within the Party. party member and cadres, especially leading cadres, should dare to fight against all acts that weaken the Party’s leadership, shake the Party’s ruling foundation and violate the Party’s political discipline and rules, resolutely overcome the outstanding problems within the Party, and show the courage of a strong man to cut off his wrist and scrape the bones to cure drugs. However, we should not weaken or even deny the Party’s leadership because of problems within the Party, and go to the crooked road of self-destruction and self-destruction of the Great Wall. Second, we must adhere to the unity of integrity and innovation, adhere to the party’s nature and purpose, ideals and beliefs, and unshakable initial mission. At the same time, we must solve various contradictions and problems existing in the party with new ideas, ideas, methods and means, and constantly improve the effectiveness of self-revolution. Third, we must adhere to the unity of strict management and love, improve the supervision and management mechanism, bind some people’s hands and feet, let go of the hands and feet of party member and cadres to take responsibility and start businesses, and fully stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of party member and cadres to form a strong atmosphere and vivid situation of making achievements in a new era and striving for innovative achievements. Fourth, we should adhere to the unity of organizational promotion and individual initiative. We should not only rely on strict requirements, education, management and supervision of party organizations at all levels, but also rely on the conscious actions of the vast number of party member and cadres to take the initiative to examine themselves, clean up their political dust and continuously enhance their political immunity.

　　Do not forget your initiative mind, keep in mind the mission, the key lies in the party’s leading cadres at all levels, especially senior cadres. Leading cadres should take the lead in thoroughly studying Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, strengthening the "four consciousnesses", strengthening the "four self-confidences" and achieving the "two maintenance", taking the lead in Do not forget your initiative mind, keeping in mind the mission, using the weapons of criticism and self-criticism, and upholding the truth and correcting mistakes. In this regard, there are no outsiders, and no one can be a bystander. In particular, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee’s comrades should set a good example and set an example for the whole party in Do not forget your initiative mind, bearing in mind the mission.

　　Finally, I want to review with you two paragraphs that Chairman Mao said. On April 24th, 1945, Chairman Mao said in "On the Coalition Government": "Thousands of martyrs died heroically in front of us for the benefit of the people. Let’s hold high their flags and March forward with their blood!" Another passage was made by Chairman Mao at the second plenary session of the Seventh Central Committee in communist party, China on March 5, 1949: "The revolution in China was great, but the journey after the revolution was longer, and the work was greater and harder. This point must be made clear to the party now, and comrades must continue to maintain their style of modesty, prudence, arrogance and rashness, and they must continue to maintain their style of hard work. We have criticism and self-criticism, the weapon of Marxism–Leninism. We can get rid of bad style and keep good style. We can learn what we didn’t know before. We are not only good at destroying an old world, but also good at building a new one. "
