Ascending to the Heights of the Magnificent Heaven and Earth -- The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has led the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country on a new journey
The long river of history is galloping, and the new journey opens up a new world——
"From now on, the central task of the Communist Party of China is to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to build a great modern socialist country in an all-round way, realize the second centenary goal, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. ”
The ascent is spectacular, and the rivers and mountains are picturesque.
2023 is the first year for the full implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, and under the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping's socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era, hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters are forging ahead with high spirits toward the glory and dream of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.
Rushing to a new expedition - "the baton of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation has historically fallen on our generation"
At the end of the year, after concluding his state visit to Vietnam, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Guangxi to inspect enterprises, communities, farmland, and factories, and encouraged the sons and daughters of Zhuangxiang to "strive to write a chapter of Chinese-style modernization in Guangxi."
People clearly remember that more than a year ago, during the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Guangxi delegation to talk about the new journey and new mission, and said in a serious tone:
"Our modernization is not only the most difficult, but also the greatest" "The most important task at present is to roll up our sleeves and work hard, step by step, to put into action the major decisions and arrangements made by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and to see the results."
But it is arduous, so it is great, but its arduousness is more glorious.
In 2023, as China embarks on a new journey, it will face new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements, and new strategic environment.
Looking at the world, the world is now chaotic and intertwined, the world is undergoing major changes, international political disputes and military conflicts have erupted at many points, the global development and security situation is complex, and mankind is facing unprecedented challenges.
Looking at China, the three-year transition of the new crown epidemic prevention and control, the economic recovery is facing heavy tasks, the domestic cyclical and structural contradictions are superimposed, there are still many deep-seated contradictions in reform, development and stability, and there are still many difficulties and challenges to overcome to promote high-quality development.
A great and arduous undertaking that demonstrates an unswerving mission.
On the morning of March 10, 2023, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. General Secretary Xi Jinping was once again unanimously elected president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and the applause resounded in the auditorium of 10,000 people.
The applause reflects the voice of the people. This is the choice of history, the choice of the people, and the choice of the times.
In the hall of the people, General Secretary Xi Jinping's declaration was loud:
"The baton of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation has historically fallen on our generation. In accordance with the strategic deployment of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we must adhere to the overall plan of the 'five-in-one' and the 'four comprehensive' strategic layout, accelerate the promotion of Chinese-style modernization, unite and struggle, blaze new trails, and make achievements without negative times, history and people on the new journey, and make due contributions to the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation!"
A great and arduous undertaking requires a far-sighted strategic plan.
Just after the beginning of spring, on the campus of the Central Party School in the western suburbs of Beijing, a seminar on the implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held on Xi.
"The leadership of the Party is directly related to the fundamental direction, future and destiny, and ultimate success or failure of Chinese-style modernization", "Correctly handle a series of major relationships such as top-level design and practical exploration, strategy and tactics, integrity and innovation, efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, self-reliance and self-improvement and opening up".
Focusing on how to "correctly understand and vigorously promote Chinese-style modernization", General Secretary Xi Jinping gave a "key lesson" to the "key minority".
In April, in Lingnan, the spring breeze was mild, and General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Guangdong, the forefront of reform and opening up.
In four days, he traveled from west to east through the land of western Guangdong, and delivered a series of important speeches on agricultural and rural modernization, ecological civilization construction, scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and promotion of common prosperity, giving Guangdong a new major mission - "walking in the forefront of promoting Chinese-style modernization".
In 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping will conduct 16 domestic inspections, with intensive trips and footprints in 15 provinces.
From the coast of the South China Sea to the Arctic of China, from the western frontier to the Yangtze River Delta region, General Secretary Xi Jinping has taken the overall vision of Chinese-style modernization and closely combined with the realities of various places, stressing both epistemology and methodology, and planning for promoting Chinese-style modernization.
From careful questions and deep reflections during the investigation and investigation, to profound explanations at important meetings, to in-depth exchanges on foreign affairs occasions, General Secretary Xi Jinping further answered the major theoretical and practical questions of what is Chinese-style modernization and how to build Chinese-style modernization with a series of new ideas, new views and new assertions.
In the new practice, the top-level design of Chinese-style modernization has been continuously improved, the practical path has become clearer, and the party's innovative theory in the new era has continued to open up new realms.
The great and arduous cause inspires the majestic power of unity and hard work.
"Whenever the Party Central Committee makes a major decision or deployment, we call on all comrades in the Party to strengthen study and Xi, so as to unify the thinking and action of the whole Party, and gather a powerful force to overcome difficulties and forge ahead in unity. This is one of the party's successful experiences. ”
In 2023, a "new Xi competition" for Chinese Communists in the new era - learning Xi and implementing the theme education of Xi Jinping's socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era will be carried out in depth throughout the party.
General Secretary Xi Jinping regarded it as "a major matter related to the overall situation", and personally planned, personally deployed, and personally promoted.
In April, during the inspection in Guangdong, he emphasized "casting the soul with learning", in May he interpreted "learning to increase wisdom" in Shaanxi, in June he explained "learning to promote the right style" in Inner Mongolia, and in July he called for "learning to promote work" in Jiangsu...... General Secretary Xi Jinping gave a vivid party lesson to the vast number of party members and cadres.
We should always maintain the sobriety and firmness to solve the problems unique to the big party, unremittingly promote the party's self-revolution, comprehensively and strictly govern the party in depth, and continue to exert force in the anti-corruption struggle...... In the new era, the Chinese Communists have united under the banner of the Party into "a piece of hard steel", thinking in one place and working hard in one place, injecting strong momentum into the giant ship of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
"Empty talk misleads the country, hard work prospers the country, one point of deployment, nine points of implementation. ”

From vivid and profound grassroots investigations again and again, to the strategic deployment of successive advancements, from repeatedly exhorting the work methods of "consistency" and "long-term success", to clearly putting forward the four work requirements of "grasping implementation...... General Secretary Xi Jinping has demonstrated and led, the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country have rolled up their sleeves and worked hard, and the grand blueprint of Chinese-style modernization is gradually becoming a beautiful reality.
We will hand over the answer sheet that the super-large economy has rebounded and improved under continuous pressure, solidly promote high-quality development while overcoming difficulties, open up a new situation of reform and opening up at a new and higher starting point, and take solid steps to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way...... A vibrant China is rising with new hopes and showing a new atmosphere.
Anchoring the primary task - "comprehensively promoting Chinese-style modernization with high-quality development"
In the land of Gyeonggi, the construction site of Xiong'an New Area in Hebei Province is in full swing. This benchmark city for high-quality development in the new era is writing new history every day.

On May 10, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the core location of the start-up area of Xiong'an New Area, climbed high and looked into the distance, and the busy scene of tower cranes was in full view.
The general secretary encouraged the on-site builders: "This is a historical opportunity that has not been encountered in a century, you are undertaking important historical tasks, and you must work hard!"
A generation has a generational historical task. Comprehensively promoting Chinese-style modernization with high-quality development is the mission of the Chinese Communists in the new era.
In December 2023, the Central Economic Work Conference in the first year attracted worldwide attention.
In the magnificent practice of development, our party has deepened its understanding of the regularity of doing a good job in economic work in the new era. At this meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping summarized it as "five musts":
"We must insist on high-quality development as the last word in the new era", "we must insist on deepening supply-side structural reform and focusing on expanding effective demand", "we must insist on relying on reform and opening up to enhance the endogenous driving force of development", "we must adhere to high-quality development and high-level security and benign interaction", "we must take the promotion of Chinese-style modernization as the biggest politics".
China's economy is a huge ship, and the bigger the volume and the bigger the storms, the more important it is to be at the helm.
Shape new advantages for development, firmly grasp the key to high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation——
"New quality productivity" – this important thesis was first put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping during his inspection tour in Heilongjiang in September 2023.
At the Central Economic Work Conference, the general secretary profoundly explained: "The core of deepening supply-side structural reform is to promote industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, especially to promote new industries, new models and new kinetic energy with disruptive technologies and cutting-edge technologies, and develop new quality productivity." ”
Promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, build new competitive advantages with industrial upgrading, and make high-quality development rely more on innovation-driven connotative growth.
This year, from laboratories, research institutes, science cities, to manufacturing enterprises, industrial parks, and industrial parks, General Secretary Xi Jinping's domestic inspection has always focused on scientific and technological innovation, and has repeatedly gone deep into the most active places for scientific and technological innovation, repeatedly emphasized the importance of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement in Chinese-style modernization, and conducted in-depth research, planning and deployment on how scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation can be deeply integrated and transformed into new advantages for development.
Seize the key and turn the crisis into an opportunity. This year, a number of key core technologies have made breakthroughs, new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaics and other "new three" performance is eye-catching, artificial intelligence, quantum technology and other new scientific and technological tracks are in the world's first echelon, China's manned space program has entered the space station application and development stage...... The integration of the innovation chain, the industrial chain, the capital chain, and the talent chain has been accelerated, and strong vitality has burst out.

Open up new space for development, better coordinate supply-side structural reform and expand domestic demand, and smooth China's economic cycle——
"Hello General Secretary!" "Welcome to Yiwu!" On the morning of September 20, in Yiwu International Trade City, applause, greetings and cheers came one after another.
General Secretary Xi Jinping came here to investigate and communicate cordially with merchants and small business owners.
"Where are you from?"
"Shaoxing", "Inner Mongolia", "Jordan", ......
"I'm from Nepal. A merchant stepped forward and introduced himself in Chinese.
"Welcome, what commodities are you here to procure?" the general secretary asked.
"You can buy everything you think of, and you can buy everything you can't think of!" everyone laughed when they heard his answer.
Small commodities have broken out of the big market and become a big industry. The general secretary hopes that the trade city will create new glories and make greater contributions to the expansion of domestic and international markets and the smooth domestic and international dual circulation.

The new space comes from the huge potential unleashed by the combination of the advantages of the hyper-scale market and strong production capacity.
Efforts should be made to expand domestic demand, accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system, create a virtuous cycle of consumption and investment, and effectively connect supply and demand...... The general secretary attaches great importance to enhancing the endogenous power and reliability of the domestic cycle, focusing on the main contradictions and problems that restrict the acceleration of the construction of a new development pattern, and prescribe prescriptions and solve problems.
The new space comes from the vast depth of urban-rural integration and regional coordinated development.
"Promote the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta to make new major breakthroughs, take the lead in Chinese-style modernization, and better play the role of pioneering exploration, leading demonstration, and radiation. In the early winter, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a forum in Shanghai to further promote the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, and put forward new requirements on the fifth anniversary of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta as the implementation of the national strategy.
We will further promote the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, promote the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China in the new era, and further promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt...... Over the past year, General Secretary Xi Jinping has presided over many thematic forums on regional development, which not only has a consistent and deepening work plan, but also has a long-term consideration of looking at new development and expanding new space.

Activate the new impetus for development, make good use of the key moves, and promote reform and opening up with greater determination and strength——
2023 marks the 45th anniversary of reform and opening up and the 10th anniversary of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. When General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Guangdong in the south, he profoundly pointed out: "China's reform and opening up policy is long-term unchanged and consistent. ”
A week after returning to Beijing, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the first meeting of the 20th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, emphatically stressing: "We must take comprehensively deepening reform as the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese-style modernization, as an important starting point for stabilizing the overall situation, responding to changes, and opening up a new situation, and set the right direction, keep the right and innovate, and really grasp the practical work, and write a new chapter in reform and opening up on the new journey." ”
We should take the road of reform and open wider to the outside world.
This year, a new round of reform of the party and state institutions was basically completed, and the Central Financial Work Conference deployed to accelerate the construction of a financial power, vigorously build a unified national market, implement the deepening and upgrading of the reform of state-owned enterprises, and issue opinions on promoting the development and growth of the private economy, and build a new model of real estate development......

In the same year, 24 policies and measures were issued to stabilize foreign investment, and relevant international high-standard economic and trade rules were piloted in 5 pilot free trade zones and the Hainan Free Trade Port, and the number of pilot free trade zones was upgraded and expanded to 22, and the restrictions on foreign investment access in the manufacturing sector were completely abolished......
Forge ahead, spring and autumn.
In 2023, in the face of pressures and challenges that are no less than those of the three years of the pandemic, China will adhere to high-quality development and high-level security and benign interaction, and promote the overall improvement and recovery of the economy. The main expected goals of economic and social development for the whole year have been successfully achieved, with the economy expected to grow by about 5.2% and the GDP to exceed 126 trillion yuan. China remains the largest engine of global growth, contributing about one-third to global economic growth.
Undertaking a new mission - "building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is an inevitable requirement for promoting Chinese-style modernization"
The central axis of Beijing, the "spine of culture" has lasted for a long time. On the northern extension line, the building of the Chinese Academy of History is unique, and the huge seal script "History" hangs high above it.
On June 2, 2023, at the cultural inheritance and development forum held here, General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech runs through the past and the present, guiding the future——
"It is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point. It is necessary to strengthen cultural self-confidence, take on the mission, work hard, and work together to create a new culture that belongs to our era and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. ”
At the critical moment of setting sail on the new journey of comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly put forward a "new cultural mission" and issued a great call for "building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation", marking cultural coordinates and holding high the spiritual banner for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Throughout the history of mankind, the fundamental transformation of a civilization is the transformation of culture, and the true rebirth of a civilization is the rebirth of culture.
General Secretary Xi Jinping examined Chinese civilization from the new era and new journey, observed Chinese modernization from the continuous promotion of Chinese civilization, and drew a profound conclusion: "Chinese modernization is the old state and new life of the Chinese nation, and will surely promote the glory of Chinese civilization." ”
In the past year, General Secretary Xi Jinping's cultural footprints have spread all over the country: Shanxi Yuncheng Museum, Central Headquarters of China National Version Museum, China Archaeological Museum, Sanxingdui Museum, Shaanxi Hanzhong Museum, Zhedong Canal Cultural Park, Jiujiangcheng Section of Yangtze River National Cultural Park, and Taoyangli Historical and Cultural District of Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province......
Through in-depth investigation and research, General Secretary Xi Jinping has carried out profound thinking and long-term planning for the construction of party leadership culture in the new era.
In the golden autumn of October, in Beijing, the capital of Beijing, the National Conference on Propaganda, Ideological and Cultural Work was held in Jingxi Hotel.
For the first time, the word "culture" has been added to the title of the conference. The meeting formally put forward Xi Jinping's cultural thought, which aroused enthusiastic responses in the whole party and society.
With both innovations and breakthroughs in cultural theory and deployment requirements in the layout of cultural work, Xi Jinping's cultural thought has been clearly applied and applied throughout, providing a powerful ideological weapon and scientific action guide for doing a good job in publicizing ideological and cultural work in the new era and new journey and undertaking new cultural missions.
Under the guidance of Xi Jinping's cultural thought, the charm of China's excellent traditional culture, the vigor and agitation of revolutionary culture, and the prosperity and prosperity of advanced socialist culture have been integrated into the great practice of the new era, and the land of China is full of cultural innovation and creative vitality.
Casting the soul with literature, cultural self-confidence is more firm——
At the foot of Yanshan Mountain in Beijing, the Central Headquarters of the National Pavilion of China is hidden in the lush forests of green mountains. The ancient classics left by the vicissitudes of Chinese civilization are here "the famous mountains of Tibet and passed on to future generations".
General Secretary Xi Jinping's affectionate words are still in my ears: "Our culture is here! It is very civilized, progressive, and advanced. In the future, it will be passed on for 5,000 years, and more than 5,000 years. ”
On the basis of making an "accurate portrait" of five outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly revealed the "inner genes" of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people's cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence, pointing out that "Chinese civilization has endured for thousands of years, suffered from repeated hardships and endured, which is a miracle of human civilization and the confidence of our self-confidence."
If there were no Chinese civilization of 5,000 years, where would there be any Chinese characteristics? If it were not for Chinese characteristics, how could we have such a successful path of socialism with Chinese characteristics today? To strengthen cultural self-confidence is to persist in following our own path.
Based on the magnificent history of Chinese civilization of more than 5,000 years, General Secretary Xi Jinping creatively proposed the "second combination", which has given the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics a broader and far-reaching historical depth, and also opened up a broad space for making full use of the valuable resources of China's excellent traditional culture to explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations.
Empowering with literature, the development direction is clearer——
On the morning of July 6, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting Jiangsu, came to the Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District in the northeast corner of the ancient city of Suzhou.

On the display panel, a "Pingjiang Map" engraved in the Southern Song Dynasty clearly shows the plane outline and street layout of ancient Suzhou. Today's ancient city of Gusu is still basically the same as the overall layout in the "Pingjiang Map", where the ancient and the modern blend and coexist, painting a unique picture of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Suzhou has done a good job in the combination of tradition and modernity, not only the inheritance of history and culture, but also high-tech innovation and high-quality development, representing the future development direction. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out.
Look at the humanities, in order to become the world. During the two sessions of the National People's Congress in 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping specifically put forward a topic when participating in the deliberations of the Jiangsu delegation: "Where culture is very developed, the economy is still ahead." Let's take a look at the humanities economics. ”
Culture makes the economy have a deeper heritage, and the economy allows culture to create more diversified value. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping's cultural thought, all localities have continuously promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, cultivated a humanistic background in the road of modernization, and continuously moved towards high-quality development in the benign interaction between humanities and economy.
With cultural people, the spiritual power is more majestic——
In winter, the sun shines on the New Fourth Army Memorial Hall on Jianjun East Road, Yancheng City, Jiangsu, and the "N4A" armband pattern above the main entrance of the main exhibition hall is particularly eye-catching.
Bullet-riddled flags, shiny bugles, patched uniforms...... In this comprehensive memorial hall that comprehensively reflects the history of the New Fourth Army, every cultural relic quietly displayed is a witness to the glorious history.
On the morning of December 3, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a special trip to visit Beijing after returning from his inspection of Shanghai.
"The history of the New Fourth Army fully shows that the people's will determines the choice of history, and the country is the people, and the people are the country. General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "This is a vivid teaching material for carrying out education in revolutionary traditions and patriotism, and we must make good use of this teaching material, educate and guide party members and cadres to inherit and carry forward the spirit of not fearing difficulties, fearing hardships and dangers, daring to struggle and daring to win, closely rely on the people, and constantly push forward the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation." ”
Without the active guidance of advanced culture, without the great enrichment of the people's spiritual world, and without the continuous enhancement of the nation's spiritual strength, it would be impossible for a country and a nation to stand tall among the nations of the world.
Under the guidance and promotion of General Secretary Xi Jinping, with the excellent traditional Chinese culture, revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has gathered the magnificent power of self-confidence and self-improvement and courageous progress.

Over the past year, the people's immediate affairs, intimate affairs, and specific matters have been continuously integrated into the top-level design of the development of the Party and the country, and the modernization drive has better responded to the people's demands and multi-level needs in all aspects.
"Chinese-style modernization requires not only the modernization of cities, but also the modernization of agriculture and rural areas"——
The National Modern Agricultural Industrial Park in Laibin City, Guangxi, has a vast base of 10,000 acres of sugar cane.
More than half a month ago, during the sugarcane crushing season, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the sugarcane forest during his inspection. Sugarseed farmer Huo Jiali excitedly reported to the general secretary that in 2023, 10 acres of sugarcane will be planted, with a yield of more than 7 tons per mu, and an estimated income of nearly 40,000 yuan.
"Do you have any income other than growing sugarcane?"
"My wife and I work in a wood panel factory near our home in our spare time, and we can work for 10 months a year and earn more than 7,000 yuan a month. ”
"In this way, there can be more than 100,000 a year. The general secretary said with satisfaction that he wished the villagers that their lives would be as sweet as sugar cane!
A cane is sweet at both ends. General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the sugar enterprise to learn about the deep processing of sugarcane and advised everyone: "The layout of agricultural production is related to development and safety. The planting area should be stabilized, the varieties and technologies should also be improved, and this characteristic and advantageous industry should be strengthened and expanded. ”
Rural revitalization is a key area that General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been concerned about.
Anchor the goal of building a strong agricultural country, fully implement the same responsibility of the party and government for food security, establish the concept of big agriculture and big food, keep the lifeblood of cultivated land, strengthen the two-wheel drive of science and technology and reform, ensure that there is no large-scale return to poverty, and improve the level of rural industry development, rural construction and rural governance......
