| The spirit of struggle is needed to prevent and resolve the risks and challenges on the way forward and to create a new situation in the modernization of socialism with Chinese characteristics.Since the 18 th Party Congress,General Secretary Xi Jinping,standing in a new historical orientation,has focused on the issue of promoting the spirit of struggle,providing fundamental guidelines for dealing with the new contradictions and challenges brought about by the complex international and domestic environment.Xi Jinping’s important statement on the spirit of struggle in the new era is the inheritance and development of Marx,Engels and Lenin on the spirit of struggle,the innovative development of the main leaders of the CPC,such as Mao Zedong,Deng Xiaoping,Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao,to carry forward the spirit of struggle,the creative application of the spirit of struggle contained in the excellent Chinese traditional culture,and the refinement and sublimation of the spirit of struggle in various historical periods of the CPC.In addition,Xi Jinping’s important thesis on the spirit of struggle in the new era relies on the realistic basis of the all-round containment of China by the United States and other Western countries,the rampant domestic separatist forces,and the still severe situation of the fight against corruption.The spirit of struggle in the new era has a new connotation,mainly manifested as: the spirit of knowing difficulties and daring to take charge;the spirit of firm belief and real work;the spirit of striving for the best,pioneering and innovation;and the spirit of being brave and victorious in battle.At present,the major risks and challenges faced at home and abroad,the mission of the Communist Party of China to develop and grow,and the inevitability of breaking out of the historical cycle,have made it an urgent and difficult political task to carry forward the spirit of struggle.To this end,the Communists should,firstly,strengthen their ideological refinement to consolidate the foundation of struggle;secondly,strengthen their political training to strengthen their will to struggle;secondly,strengthen their practical training to enhance their skills in struggle;and finally,strengthen their professional training to master the art of struggle.The whole party should attach great importance to this political task and train communists to be warriors who dare to struggle and are good at it.Xi Jinping’s important remarks on the spirit of struggle in the new era have profound theoretical and practical significance.In the theoretical sense,it keeps the righteousness and innovation of the Marxist spirit of struggle,inherits and carries forward the spirit of struggle in revolutionary culture,and enriches and develops Xi Jinping’s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.In terms of practical significance,it provides important guidelines for building the Party into a stronger and more powerful entity,gathers strength for opening up new horizons of development,and provides wisdom for the struggle to cope with the unprecedented changes of the century. |
