Comrades, friends:
  Today is a very significant and solemn day in the history of the Communist Party of China and the history of the Chinese nation. We gather here solemnly to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China together with the entire Party and people of all ethnic groups across the country, to review the glorious course of the Party's century-long struggle, and to look forward to the bright prospects of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
  First, on behalf of the Party Central Committee, I extend warm holiday greetings to all Chinese Communist Party members!
  Here, on behalf of the Party and the people, I solemnly declare that through the continuous struggle of the entire Party and people of all ethnic groups across the country, we have achieved the first centenary goal, comprehensively built a moderately prosperous society on Chinese soil, historically solved the problem of absolute poverty, and are now vigorously advancing toward the second centenary goal of fully building a modern socialist country. This is the great glory of the Chinese nation! This is the great glory of the Chinese people! This is the great glory of the Communist Party of China!
  Comrades, friends!
  The Chinese nation is a great nation in the world, with a civilization history of more than 5,000 years, making indelible contributions to human civilization and progress. After the Opium War in 1840, China gradually became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, the country was humiliated, the people suffered, and civilization was tarnished. The Chinese nation suffered unprecedented calamities. Since then, realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has become the greatest dream of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation.
  To save the nation from peril, the Chinese people rose up in resistance, and patriots shouted and marched. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Hundred Days' Reform, the Boxer Movement, and the Xinhai Revolution occurred in succession, with various plans to save the country emerging one after another, but all ended in failure. China urgently needed new ideas to lead the salvation movement and new organizations to unite revolutionary forces.
  The sound of the October Revolution's cannon brought Marxism-Leninism to China. In the great awakening of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and in the close integration of Marxism-Leninism with the Chinese workers' movement, the Communist Party of China was born. The emergence of the Communist Party in China was a groundbreaking event that profoundly changed the direction and course of the Chinese nation's development since modern times, profoundly changed the future and destiny of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and profoundly changed the trend and pattern of world development.
  From its birth, the Communist Party of China established as its original mission the pursuit of happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Over the past century, all struggles, sacrifices, and creations led by the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people can be summed up in one theme: realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
  — To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Communist Party of China united and led the Chinese people in bloody battles and unyielding perseverance, creating the great achievements of the New Democratic Revolution. Through the Northern Expedition, the Land Revolution War, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the Liberation War, we opposed armed counterrevolution with armed revolution, overthrew the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism, established the People's Republic of China with the people as masters of the country, and achieved national independence and people's liberation. The victory of the New Democratic Revolution completely ended the history of old China as a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, completely ended the fragmented state of old China, completely abolished the unequal treaties imposed on China by foreign powers and all imperialist privileges in China, creating fundamental social conditions for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people solemnly declared to the world through their heroic and tenacious struggle that the Chinese people have stood up, and the era when the Chinese nation was at the mercy of others and suffered humiliation is gone forever!
  — To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Communist Party of China united and led the Chinese people to rely on their own efforts and strive hard, creating the great achievements of the socialist revolution and construction. We carried out the socialist revolution, eliminated the feudal exploitation and oppression system that had lasted for thousands of years in China, established the basic socialist system, promoted socialist construction, defeated the subversion, sabotage, and armed provocations of imperialism and hegemonism, achieved the most extensive and profound social transformation in the history of the Chinese nation, and made a great leap forward for a populous Eastern country starting from poverty to socialism, laying the fundamental political premise and institutional foundation for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people solemnly declared to the world through their heroic and tenacious struggle that the Chinese people are not only good at destroying an old world but also good at building a new world; only socialism can save China, and only socialism can develop China!
  — To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Communist Party of China united and led the Chinese people to emancipate their minds and forge ahead, creating the great achievements of reform and opening up and socialist modernization. We achieved a great turning point in the Party's history since the founding of New China, established the Party's basic line for the primary stage of socialism, unswervingly promoted reform and opening up, overcame risks and challenges from all sides, pioneered, upheld, defended, and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics, realized the historic transformation from a highly centralized planned economy to a vibrant socialist market economy, from closed or semi-closed to all-round opening up, achieved the historic breakthrough from relatively backward productive forces to the world's second-largest economy, and achieved the historic leap from insufficient food and clothing to overall moderate prosperity and toward comprehensive well-being, providing a system guarantee full of new vitality and material conditions for rapid development to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people solemnly declared to the world through their heroic and tenacious struggle that reform and opening up is the key move determining the fate of contemporary China, and China has taken great strides to catch up with the times!
  — To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Communist Party of China united and led the Chinese people to be confident and self-reliant, uphold integrity and innovate, comprehensively manage the great struggle, great project, great cause, and great dream, creating the great achievements of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Since the 18th National Congress of the Party, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. We have adhered to and strengthened the Party's overall leadership, coordinated the advancement of the "Five-Sphere Integrated Plan" and the "Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy," adhered to and improved the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, promoted the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, adhered to governing the Party according to rules, formed a relatively complete system of intra-Party regulations, overcome a series of major risks and challenges, achieved the first centenary goal, clarified the strategic arrangement for the second centenary goal, and the Party and the country's undertakings have achieved historic achievements and undergone historic changes, providing a more complete institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation, and a more proactive spiritual force for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people solemnly declared to the world through their heroic and tenacious struggle that the Chinese nation has achieved a great leap from standing up, becoming prosperous to becoming strong, and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process!
  Over the past century, the Communist Party of China has united and led the Chinese people with the fearless spirit of "sacrificing much for lofty aspirations, daring to change the sun and moon for a new sky," writing the most magnificent epic in the thousands of years of Chinese history. The great path opened, the great cause created, and the great achievements made over the past century will surely be recorded in the annals of the Chinese nation's development and the history of human civilization!
  Comrades, friends!
  One hundred years ago, the pioneers of the Communist Party of China founded the Party, forming the great founding spirit of adhering to truth, upholding ideals, practicing the original mission, taking on responsibilities, fearing no sacrifice, fighting bravely, being loyal to the Party, and living up to the people. This is the spiritual source of the Communist Party of China.
  For a hundred years, the Communist Party of China has promoted the great spirit of party founding, building the spiritual lineage of Chinese Communists through long-term struggle, and forging a distinctive political character. History flows endlessly, and the spirit is passed down from generation to generation. We must continue to carry forward the glorious tradition, inherit the red bloodline, and forever carry on and develop the great spirit of party founding!
  Comrades, friends!
  Over the past hundred years, all our achievements are the result of the united struggle of Chinese Communists, the Chinese people, and the Chinese nation. The Communist Party of China, represented mainly by Comrades Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao, has made great contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation that are recorded in history! We express our highest respect to them!
  At this moment, we deeply remember the older generation of revolutionaries such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, and Chen Yun, who made significant contributions to the Chinese revolution, construction, reform, and the establishment, consolidation, and development of the Communist Party of China. We deeply remember the revolutionary martyrs who heroically sacrificed to establish, defend, and build New China, the revolutionary martyrs who bravely dedicated themselves to reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, and all the benevolent and righteous people who have fought tenaciously for national independence and people's liberation since modern times. Their great achievements for the motherland and nation are forever recorded in history! Their noble spirit is forever engraved in the hearts of the people!
  The people are the creators of history and the true heroes. On behalf of the Party Central Committee, I extend my highest respect to the vast number of workers, farmers, intellectuals across the country, to all democratic parties and non-party persons, to all people's organizations and patriotic individuals from all walks of life, to the officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, the Armed Police Force, public security officers, and firefighters, to all socialist laborers, and to the broad members of the united front! I send sincere greetings to compatriots in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region, Taiwan, and to the vast number of overseas Chinese! I express heartfelt thanks to all peoples and friends of all countries who are friendly to the Chinese people and care about and support China's revolution, construction, and reform!
  Comrades, friends!
  It is easy to have the original aspiration, but difficult to always keep it. Learning from history allows us to understand the rise and fall. We must use history to reflect on reality and look to the future, to clearly see from the Communist Party of China's century-long struggle why we succeeded in the past and understand how we can continue to succeed in the future, so that on the new journey we can more firmly and consciously remember our original mission and create a better future.
  —Learning from history and creating the future requires adhering to the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China. The key to managing China's affairs well lies in the Party. The history of more than 180 years of the modern Chinese nation, the 100 years since the founding of the Communist Party of China, and the more than 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China fully prove that without the Communist Party of China, there would be no New China and no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. History and the people have chosen the Communist Party of China. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, the foundation and lifeline of the Party and the country, and the interest and destiny of all ethnic groups in the country.
  On the new journey, we must uphold the Party's comprehensive leadership, continuously improve the Party's leadership, strengthen the "Four Consciousnesses," firm up the "Four Confidences," achieve the "Two Upholds," keep in mind the "major interests of the country," continuously improve the Party's scientific governance, democratic governance, and rule-of-law governance, and fully play the Party's core leadership role in overall planning and coordinating all parties!
  —Learning from history and creating the future requires uniting and leading the Chinese people to continuously strive for a better life. The country is the people, and the people are the country; to seize the country and defend the country is to win the people's hearts. The Communist Party of China’s foundation, lifeblood, and strength lie in the people. The Communist Party of China always represents the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people, shares weal and woe with the people, and has no special interests of its own. It has never represented the interests of any interest group, any powerful faction, or any privileged class. Any attempt to separate or oppose the Communist Party of China from the Chinese people will never succeed! More than 95 million Chinese Communists will not agree! More than 1.4 billion Chinese people will not agree either!
  On the new journey, we must firmly rely on the people to create history, adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, stand firmly on the people's position, implement the Party's mass line, respect the people's pioneering spirit, practice the people-centered development philosophy, develop whole-process people's democracy, safeguard social fairness and justice, focus on solving unbalanced and inadequate development issues and the urgent, difficult, and worrying problems of the people, and promote more obvious and substantial progress in the comprehensive development of people and common prosperity for all!
  —Learning from history and creating the future requires continuing to advance the sinicization of Marxism. Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for our Party and country, the soul and banner of our Party. The Communist Party of China adheres to the basic principles of Marxism, insists on seeking truth from facts, starts from China's reality, perceives the trend of the times, seizes the initiative of history, conducts arduous exploration, continuously advances the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and guides the Chinese people to continuously advance the great social revolution. Why the Communist Party of China can succeed and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good ultimately comes down to the effectiveness of Marxism!
  On the new journey, we must uphold Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of the "Three Represents," the Scientific Outlook on Development, fully implement the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, adhere to combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's concrete reality and excellent traditional Chinese culture, use Marxism to observe, grasp, and lead the times, and continue to develop contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st-century Marxism!
  —Learning from history and creating the future requires upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. Following our own path is the foundation of all the Party's theories and practices and the historical conclusion drawn from the Party's century-long struggle. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the fundamental achievement obtained by the Party and the people through great hardships and huge sacrifices, and it is the correct path to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, promote the coordinated development of material, political, spiritual, social, and ecological civilizations, create a new path of Chinese-style modernization, and create a new form of human civilization.
  On the new journey, we must uphold the Party's basic theory, basic line, and basic strategy, coordinate the overall layout of the "Five-Sphere Integrated Plan," coordinate the strategic layout of the "Four Comprehensives," deepen reform and opening up comprehensively, base ourselves on the new development stage, fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, promote high-quality development, advance scientific and technological self-reliance and strength, ensure the people's mastery of the country, uphold the rule of law, uphold the socialist core value system, ensure and improve people's livelihood in development, uphold harmony between humans and nature, and coordinate the promotion of people's prosperity, national strength, and China's beauty.
  The Chinese nation has a splendid civilization formed over more than 5,000 years of historical evolution. The Communist Party of China has a century of struggle and more than 70 years of experience in governing the country and rejuvenating the nation. We actively learn from and draw on all beneficial achievements of human civilization, welcome all constructive suggestions and well-intentioned criticisms, but we absolutely do not accept patronizing lectures! The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people will march forward proudly on the path they have chosen, firmly holding the destiny of China's development and progress in their own hands!
  —Learning from history and creating the future requires accelerating the modernization of national defense and the military. A strong country must have a strong military, and a strong military ensures national security. Adhering to the Party's command of the gun and building our own people's army is an unshakable truth derived from the Party's struggles in blood and fire. The people's army has made immortal contributions to the Party and the people, is a strong pillar in defending the red homeland and maintaining national dignity, and is also a powerful force in maintaining regional and world peace.
  On the new journey, we must fully implement the Party's strong military thought for the new era, adhere to the military strategic guidelines of the new era, uphold the Party's absolute leadership over the people's army, follow the path of strengthening the military with Chinese characteristics, comprehensively advance political military building, military reform, military technological strength, military talent development, and military governance according to law, building the people's army into a world-class force, defending national sovereignty, security, and development interests with stronger capabilities and more reliable means!
  —Learning from history to create the future, we must continuously promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. Peace, harmony, and concord have been the ideals pursued and inherited by the Chinese nation for over 5,000 years. The Chinese nation has no genes of invading others or seeking hegemony. The Communist Party of China cares about the future and destiny of humanity, advancing hand in hand with all progressive forces worldwide. China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order!
  On the new journey, we must uphold the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win outcomes, pursue an independent and peaceful foreign policy, adhere to the path of peaceful development, promote the building of new types of international relations, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and promote high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative, providing new opportunities for the world through China's new development. The Communist Party of China will continue to work with all peace-loving countries and peoples to promote the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom for all humanity, insist on cooperation without confrontation, openness without closure, mutual benefit without zero-sum games, oppose hegemonism and power politics, and push the wheel of history toward a bright goal!
  The Chinese people are a people who uphold justice and are not afraid of tyranny; the Chinese nation is a nation with strong national pride and confidence. The Chinese people have never bullied, oppressed, or enslaved the peoples of other countries—neither in the past, nor now, nor will in the future. At the same time, the Chinese people will never allow any foreign forces to bully, oppress, or enslave us. Whoever dares to do so will surely be smashed headfirst against the steel Great Wall built by the flesh and blood of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people!
  —Learning from history to create the future, we must engage in great struggles with many new historical characteristics. The courage to struggle and to win is the invincible spiritual strength of the Communist Party of China. To realize the great dream requires tenacious struggle and unremitting efforts. Today, we are closer than ever before in history, more confident and capable of achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, while also preparing to make even more arduous and difficult efforts.
  On the new journey, we must enhance our sense of urgency, always be vigilant in times of peace, implement the overall national security concept, coordinate development and security, coordinate the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the unprecedented changes in the world in a century, deeply understand the new characteristics and requirements brought by changes in the principal contradictions in our society, deeply understand the new contradictions and challenges brought by the complex international environment, dare to struggle, be good at struggle, open paths through mountains and build bridges over waters, and bravely overcome all risks and challenges!
  —Learning from history to create the future, we must strengthen the great unity of the Chinese people. Throughout the century-long struggle, the Communist Party of China has always placed the united front in an important position, continuously consolidating and developing the broadest united front, uniting all forces that can be united, mobilizing all positive factors that can be mobilized, and maximizing the power of joint struggle. The patriotic united front is an important magic weapon for the Communist Party of China to unite all Chinese people at home and abroad to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
  On the new journey, we must adhere to great unity and great alliance, uphold unity in diversity, strengthen ideological and political guidance, widely gather consensus, attract talents from all over the world, strive to find the greatest common denominator, draw the largest concentric circle, and form a vivid situation where all Chinese people at home and abroad think as one and work as one, gathering tremendous power to achieve national rejuvenation!
  —Learning from history to create the future, we must continuously advance the Party's new great project of building itself. The courage for self-revolution is a distinctive mark that sets the Communist Party of China apart from other political parties. Our Party has gone through countless trials and remains vigorous, largely because we always insist that the Party must govern itself and strictly govern itself comprehensively, continuously responding well to the risks and tests faced in various historical periods, ensuring that our Party always leads the times amid profound changes in the world situation, and always remains the backbone of the entire nation in the historical process of responding to various domestic and international risks and challenges!
  On the new journey, we must remember the principle that to forge iron, one must be strong oneself, enhance political consciousness that strict Party governance is always on the way, take the Party's political construction as the guide, continue to advance the Party's new great project of building itself in the new era, continuously tighten the Party's organizational system, focus on building a high-quality cadre team with both integrity and ability, unswervingly promote Party style and clean government construction and the fight against corruption, resolutely eliminate all factors that damage the Party's advanced nature and purity, eliminate all viruses that erode the Party's healthy body, ensure the Party does not deteriorate, change color, or lose its flavor, and ensure the Party always remains a strong leadership core in the historical process of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era!
  Comrades, friends!
  We must fully and accurately implement the principles of "One Country, Two Systems," "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong," "Macau people governing Macau," and a high degree of autonomy, implement the Central Government's comprehensive jurisdiction over the Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions, implement the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for safeguarding national security in the Special Administrative Regions, safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, maintain social stability in the Special Administrative Regions, and keep Hong Kong and Macau prosperous and stable for the long term.
  Resolving the Taiwan issue and achieving complete national reunification is the unwavering historical mission of the Communist Party of China and the common aspiration of all Chinese people. We must adhere to the One-China principle and the "1992 Consensus," advancing the peaceful reunification process of the motherland. All Chinese people, including compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, must work together with one heart and one mind, resolutely smash any "Taiwan independence" schemes, and jointly create a bright future for national rejuvenation. No one should underestimate the Chinese people's firm determination, strong will, and powerful capability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity!
  Comrades, friends!
  The future belongs to the youth, and hope is placed on the youth. One hundred years ago, a group of new youth held high the torch of Marxist thought, searching painfully for the path to national rejuvenation in stormy and dark China. Over the past century, under the banner of the Communist Party of China, generations of Chinese youth have integrated their youthful struggles into the cause of the Party and the people, becoming the vanguard force for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The youth of the new era in China should take the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as their responsibility, enhance their pride, backbone, and confidence as Chinese, live up to the times, live up to their youth, and live up to the earnest expectations of the Party and the people!
  Comrades, friends!
  One hundred years ago, when the Communist Party of China was founded, it had only more than 50 members. Today, it has become the world's largest ruling party with over 95 million members, leading a country of more than 1.4 billion people and having significant global influence.
  One hundred years ago, the Chinese nation presented a scene of decline and decay to the world. Today, the Chinese nation shows a scene of thriving prosperity to the world, marching toward great rejuvenation with an unstoppable pace.
  Over the past hundred years, the Communist Party of China has delivered an outstanding answer to the people and history. Now, the Communist Party of China, united and leading the Chinese people, has embarked on a new journey to achieve the second centenary goal.
  All Chinese Communist Party members! The Party Central Committee calls on you to remember your original aspiration and mission, firmly uphold your ideals and beliefs, practice the Party's purpose, always maintain close ties with the people, always think and work together with the people, share weal and woe, and continue to strive unremittingly to realize the people's aspiration for a better life, striving to win greater glory for the Party and the people!
  Comrades, friends!
  The Communist Party of China is committed to the great cause of the Chinese nation for all eternity, and its centenary is in its prime! Looking back at the past and looking forward to the future, with the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China and the close unity of the people of all ethnic groups across the country, the goal of fully building a modern socialist country will definitely be achieved, and the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will definitely be realized!
  Long live the great, glorious, and correct Communist Party of China!
  Long live the great, glorious, and heroic Chinese people!
