attitude and mental state of unswerving action.Ideals and convictions which belong to the category of ideology are a unique spiritual phenomenon of human society.They are the organic combination of cognition,emotion and will of human beings,and the ideological cornerstone and spiritual motivation to promote the progress and development of human society.The Communist Party of China is an advanced Marxist party with lofty ideals and firm convictions.Ideals and convictions are the spiritual pillar and political soul of Chinese Communists,as well as the ideological basis for maintaining the unity of the whole Party.In reviewing the history of the CPC over the past 100 years,the CPC has always adhered to its ideals and convictions,standing firm in its original aspiration and founding mission.It has united and led the whole Party,the armed forces,and the people of all ethnic groups in China to make great achievements in revolution,construction,reform,and the New Era,driving the Chinese nation to achieve the tremendous transformation from standing up and growing prosperous to becoming strong.At the same time,it has forged itself into the world’s largest political party that is full of vitality and the spirit of self-confident and self-reliance after a century of strive.To strengthen the CPC’s ideological construction,especially the Party’s education of ideals and convictions is a key to unlock the mystery why the CPC has achieved so much.Today,standing at an important historical juncture of the world’s great changes unseen in a century and the overall strategy of the great
