The key to the Communist Party of China in different historical periods is to grasp the direction of development, establish development goals, and formulate correct lines, principles and policies in different historical periods lies in its belief in Marxism. Faith can inspire people’s potential, mobilize people’s subjectivity, creativity, and consciousness, and gather the power to promote the progress of history. Faith is the unique spiritual activity of mankind and the highest level of spiritual pursuit, and it is also the spiritual force that governs people’s behavior. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Belief in Marxism, belief in socialism and communism are the political soul of the Communists and the spiritual pillar for the Communists to withstand various tests.” This important statement is a classic interpretation of the status and function of Marxist belief, and concentrates on the noble nature of Marxist belief. Belief in Marxism and Babaylan belief in socialism and communism constitute the distinctive symbol and political background of Xi Jinping’s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, which is fully reflected in the book “Xi Jinping: The Governance of China”.
The reason why the Communist Party of China has been able to grasp the development direction in different historical periods is to establish development goals and formulate correct lines, principles and policies lies in its belief in Marxism. Faith is the spiritual pillar of the Chinese Communists. The reason why the Communist Party of China was able to overcome various difficulties and win victory in the revolutionary war years, and the reason why the Communist Party of China was able to overcome various challenges and resolve various difficulties and win success in the socialist construction period and the new historical period of reform and opening up was due to the support of faith. “The people have faith, the country has strength, and the nation has hope.” Faith can inspire people’s potential, mobilize people’s subjectivity, creativity, and consciousness, and gather the power to promote history forward.
The lofty nature of the beliefs of the Chinese Communists comes from the scientificity, people-oriented, practical and openness of Marxism. Marxism reveals the universal laws of the development of nature, human society, and human thinking, and scientific nature is Marxist.It is the meaning of Babaylan as the basis of faith. Marxism pursues the realization of human liberation and comprehensive development of human beings as its value pursuit. This is the real reason why Marxism can occupy the commanding heights of truth and morality and become the belief of Communists. Marxism not only seeks to understand the world and explain the world, but also strives to change the world through practice, with a clear practical orientation. Marxism does not close itself, but continues to innovate with the development of the times and practice. By answering questions from the times, sublimating practical experience, and maintaining its own vigorous vitality. This is the mystery that Marxism can transcend the Cinema era and believe in the Communist Party of different eras.
When presided over the 43rd collective study of the 18th Central Political Bureau, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that Marxism must be regarded as a key skill, and to think about and grasp a series of major problems facing future development with a broader perspective and a longer-term perspective, and to continuously improve the whole party’s ability to use Marxism to analyze and solve practical problems. In his important speech at the conference commemorating the 200th anniversary of Marx’s birth, General Secretary Xi Jinping declared the Chinese Communists’ belief in the scientific truth of Marxism, and demonstrated the will and determination of the Party and the people to remain unchanged and the will of the Party and the people. It is precisely based on his firm belief in Marxism that General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that “studying the basic theory of Marxism is a compulsory course for Communists” and required party members and cadres to “review Marxist classics and understand the principles of Marxism as a living habit, and Cinema as a spiritual pursuit.”
The belief system of the Chinese Communists not only includes belief in Marxism, but also includes lofty ideals of communism and socialism with Chinese characteristicsBelieve in common ideals. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that ideals and beliefs are the spiritual “calcium” of the Communist Party members, and requires that “building a strong Marxist ruling party must first start with ideals and beliefs.” At the same time, Komiks has established the goal of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and has consolidated the strength of the Chinese nation and enriched the connotation of the belief system of the Chinese Communists in the new era. To stand up the spiritual backbone of the Communists, solve the “main switch” problem of the world outlook, outlook on life and values, and to consciously be firm believers and faithful practitioners of the lofty ideals of communism and socialism with Chinese characteristics. Then, you can gather strong spiritual strength.
The formation of lofty beliefs is not a one-day achievement. On the basis of learning and mastering the Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method, the Chinese Communists can truly establish the Marxist beliefs correctly through practical tempering, observation and thinking, and then strengthen the belief in socialism with Chinese characteristics and communism and the confidence to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. By illuminating the road to national rejuvenation with lofty faith, we will always be full of strength to defeat risks and challenges, and arrive at the other side of our dreams.
