As the largest Marxist ruling party in the world, our Party is unique and unprecedented in its organizational scale and the number of people in party member. Dialectically, there are great advantages and great difficulties. If we manage the party effectively and gather great strength, our party will be invincible, and we will be able to do great things, build great achievements and create miracles, otherwise we will accomplish nothing. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized in the party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress: "We must always remain sober and firm in solving the unique problems of the big party." Keeping awake and firm in solving the unique problems of the big party at all times is related to the life and death of the party and the success or failure of the party. It is a problem that the party must answer and solve well in the new era and new journey. So, what are the "unique problems" our party faces and how to solve them? At the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech and made an important exposition on "Six Ways to Always", which pointed out the direction of action and provided fundamental follow-up for the whole party to stay awake and firm at all times and solve the unique problems of the big party.

　　We must always be in Do not forget your initiative mind and remember our mission.

　　This is the first problem expounded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary to solve the unique problems of the big party, emphasizing "how to always stay in Do not forget your initiative mind and remember the mission". The reason why General Secretary of the Supreme Leader raised this question is to remind the whole party not to forget the fundamental question of what the Communist Party of China (CPC) is and what to do, and who I am, for whom and on whom I depend. The party’s initial heart and mission are the concentrated expression of the party’s nature, purpose, ideals and beliefs, and goals. This issue is related to the fundamental issue of building, rejuvenating and strengthening the Party, and the roots, spiritual pillars and political souls of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people.

　　Since its birth, our Party has made it its initial mission to seek happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and has always adhered to the communist ideal and socialist belief, which has been consistently reflected in all the Party’s struggles. For more than 100 years, the party has led the people to fight bloody battles and persevere, creating great achievements in the new-democratic revolution; Self-reliance and striving for strength have created great achievements in socialist revolution and construction; Emancipating the mind and forging ahead have created great achievements in reform, opening up and socialist modernization; Self-confidence, self-improvement, integrity and innovation have created Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s great achievements in the new era and written the most magnificent epic in the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. What does it depend on? It depends on our party’s lofty ideals and lofty pursuits, and on the the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s persistent adherence to their initial mission. History and reality have repeatedly proved that a political party with lofty ideals and lofty pursuits and a firm initial mission will be strong and invincible. A party member cadre who has always been in Do not forget your initiative mind and kept his mission in mind will be able to stand up the spiritual backbone of communist party people and be "free from the east, west, north and south".

　　In the new era and new journey, the goals are more ambitious, the tasks are more arduous, and the challenges are increasingly severe. It is necessary for all comrades in the Party to be sure of Do not forget your initiative mind and keep their mission in mind. We should persist in casting our souls with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, the supreme leader in the new era, and always strengthen our faith in Marxism, Socialism with Chinese characteristics and communism, so as to "make ourselves indestructible". We must always adhere to the people’s supremacy, take the hearts of the people as the heart, share the same breath with the people, share the same destiny, and keep the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people, and always maintain the party’s advanced nature and purity.

　　We must always unify our thinking, our will and our actions.

　　This is the second problem expounded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary to solve the unique problems of the big party, emphasizing "how to always unify thoughts, will and actions". The reason why the Supreme Leader General Secretary raised this issue is to remind the whole party that nothing can be done without the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership, and without the unity of thinking and the unity of pace of the whole party and the whole country. This issue is by no means a general issue or a personal matter, but a directional, principled and fundamental issue, which concerns the future and destiny of the party and the country and the fundamental interests of the people.

　　Judging from the history of the party, whenever our party maintains unity and unity, our cause will win; Whenever the unity and unity of our party are undermined, our cause will suffer setbacks. Before Zunyi Conference, the cause of the Party and the people suffered many setbacks because our Party did not form a mature Central Committee and the unity of the whole Party. Zunyi Conference began to establish the leading position of the correct Marxist line with Comrade Mao Zedong as the main representative in the CPC Central Committee, and began to form the first generation of central collective leadership of the Party with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core, which opened a new stage for the Party to independently solve practical problems of the China revolution, saved the Party, the Red Army and the China revolution at the most critical juncture, and enabled the Party to defeat separatism in Zhang Guotao, successfully complete the Long March and open a new situation of the China revolution. Since then, our party has been moving from victory to victory. After the reform and opening up, the Party has made continuous efforts to strengthen and improve its leadership, which has provided a fundamental political guarantee for the development of the cause of the Party and the country. At the same time, there are also many problems in the party, such as vague understanding and weak action in upholding the party’s leadership, weakening, blurring, diluting and marginalizing the implementation of the party’s leadership, especially the ineffective implementation of the important decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, some of which have policies and countermeasures, and even act with duplicity and without authorization, which seriously affects the party’s image and prestige and seriously damages the party’s leadership role. History and reality have proved that only when the CPC Central Committee has authority can the whole Party be firmly United and the people of all ethnic groups in the country be closely United.Form a majestic force that is United as one and invincible. The unity and unity of the party is the future and destiny of the party and the people, and the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups in the country. It is very important to ensure the unity, centralization and unification of the Party, and to safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee, which cannot be vague or shaken at any time and under any circumstances.

　　In the new era and new journey, to unify thoughts, will and actions, we must profoundly understand the decisive significance of "two establishment", strengthen "four consciousnesses", strengthen "four self-confidences" and achieve "two maintenance". It is necessary to uphold and strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, improve the party’s leadership system, improve the implementation mechanism of major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, and ensure that the whole party maintains a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core in political stance, political direction, political principles and political road. In the face of major issues and severe situations, the whole party should always think in one place, work hard in one place, and move forward as one.

　　We must always have strong ruling ability and leadership level.

　　This is the third problem expounded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary to solve the unique problems of the big party, emphasizing "how to always have a strong ruling ability and leadership level". The reason why the Supreme Leader General Secretary raised this question is to remind the whole party that a party that has been in power for a long time in a country with a population of more than 1.4 billion will not be able to unite and lead the people to complete the mission of a new era and a new journey in the face of the great changes in the world that have never happened in a century and the fact that China is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This issue is the key to strengthen and improve the leadership of the Party, which is of great significance and determines the overall situation.

　　Our party has always attached great importance to the learning and ability improvement of the whole party, especially leading cadres, along the way, from weak to strong, from local governance to national governance, establishing a new China, carrying out socialist revolution and construction, and implementing reform and opening up. As early as the Yan ‘an period, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "There is a panic in our team, not an economic panic, nor a political panic, but a skill panic." Comrade Mao Zedong asked the whole party: "Learn while doing, learn war in the war, and increase talents in practice. This is our dialectics in communist party!" At the beginning of the reform and opening-up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized that we should attach importance to and study the party’s ruling ability. "If we don’t study this problem well and solve it, we can’t uphold the party’s leadership and improve the party’s prestige." Comrade Deng Xiaoping called on the whole party to "study again". General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "It is necessary to enhance learning skills, create a strong atmosphere of being good at learning and being brave in practice in the whole party, build a Marxist learning party, and promote the construction of a learning country." Looking back on the course of struggle in the past century, our party has come to this day by relying on learning and creating great achievements by relying on learning. Short rope can’t draw deep wells, and shallow water can’t bear big boats. The more the cause of the party and the state develops, the higher the requirements for the ability of leading cadres. Faced with new situations and problems,Some cadres fail to use the new method, the old method doesn’t work, the hard method doesn’t dare to use it, the soft method doesn’t work, they lack knowledge and skills, violate the law and act blindly, which brings serious losses to the cause of the party and the state. History and reality have fully proved that our party should be both politically competent and technically competent. You should have both broad shoulders and real ability to accomplish things.

　　In the new era and new journey, to improve the party’s ruling ability and leadership level, it is necessary to enhance the ability to promote high-quality development, serve the masses, prevent and resolve risks, and improve the ability to prevent risks, meet challenges and resist repression. Be diligent and good at learning, learn from books, practice and people. It is necessary to take investigation and research as the basic skill, vigorously carry out investigation and research, go deep into the grassroots, the masses and the reality, and ask for politics, plans and policies for the people. We must constantly improve the level of scientific, democratic and legal governance. It is necessary to strengthen ideological tempering, political experience, practical training and professional training, constantly sharpen and improve the level of ability in major struggles, and shoulder the historical responsibility of national rejuvenation.

　　The entrepreneurial spirit of officers must always be maintained.

　　This is the fourth problem expounded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary to solve the unique problems of the big party, emphasizing "how to always maintain the entrepreneurial spirit of the officials". The reason why the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader raised this question is to remind the whole party that the big party is in power for a long time, and it is easy to pursue comfort and enjoyment, so that it is slack, depressed and not enterprising. People can’t stand without spirit, and countries can’t stand without spirit. This issue is related to whether the Party can maintain the revolutionary spirit forever, strengthen the revolutionary fighting spirit, continue the spiritual blood of communist party people, and summon up the spirit of forging ahead in a new journey and building a new era, so as to take a new road to catch the exam.

　　Where history begins, the spirit comes from. Along the way of our Party, generations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people have worked hard and made unremitting efforts, and formed the spirit of Jinggangshan, Soviet Area, Long March, Zunyi Conference, Yan ‘an, Anti-Japanese War, Hongyan, Xibaipo, Zhaojin, Northeast Anti-Union, Nanniwan, Taihang (Luliang), Dabie Mountain, Yimeng, Old District, and so on. The spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite", the spirit of Lei Feng, the spirit of Jiao Yulu, the spirit of Daqing (iron man), the spirit of Hongqi Canal, the spirit of the Great Northern Wilderness, the spirit of Saihanba, the spirit of "two roads", the spirit of old Xizang (Kong Fansen), the spirit of moving westward and the spirit of Wang Jie; The spirit of reform and opening up, the spirit of the special zone, the spirit of fighting floods, the spirit of fighting SARS, the spirit of earthquake relief, the spirit of manned space flight, the spirit of model workers (labor spirit, craftsman spirit), the spirit of Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and the spirit of women’s volleyball; The the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s spiritual pedigree, including the spirit of getting rid of poverty, fighting against epidemic, the spirit of "three cows", the spirit of scientists, the spirit of entrepreneurship, the spirit of exploring the moon, the spirit of Beidou in the new era and the spirit of Silk Road, has become a comprehensive embodiment of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s ideals and beliefs, political character, sense of purpose, will quality and spiritual outlook, which has provided us with rich nourishment for building and strengthening the party. The history of the party’s hundred years of struggle shows that,Only a political party with great spirit can lead the people to win a great struggle and create a great cause. Li Dazhao said: "The road of history is not all smooth, and sometimes it comes to the realm of difficulties and obstacles, which can only be rushed by the heroic spirit." The great achievements of the new era are made by the party and the people. History tells us that people should have a little spirit, and political parties with revolutionary and desperate spirit will be invincible.

　　In the new era and new journey, to always maintain the entrepreneurial spirit of the officers, it is necessary to carry forward the great spirit of party building, inherit the red genes, and continue the red blood; We must dare to fight, be good at fighting, and rely on tenacious struggle to open up a new world of career development; It is necessary to carry forward the great historical initiative, be brave in taking responsibility, and forge ahead courageously in meeting challenges and overcoming difficulties.

　　We must always be able to find and solve our own problems in time.

　　This is the fifth problem to solve the unique problems of the big party elaborated by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, emphasizing "how to always find and solve their own problems in time". The reason why General Secretary of the Supreme Leader raised this question is to remind the whole party to be brave in upholding the truth and correcting mistakes. This issue is related to whether the Party can break through the worldwide difficult problem of "it is easy to change others’ lives, but it is difficult to change one’s own", and whether it can remain youthful and energetic in confronting problems and overcoming shortcomings.

　　It is an unprecedented great undertaking to carry out revolution, construction and reform in a big country like China, and to promote the great historical cause of national rejuvenation. It is inevitable that mistakes or even mistakes will occur in the exploration. However, with the support of the people, our party has overcome difficulties, corrected mistakes and moved towards the bright future by relying on its own strength. It can be said that it has been a few times to survive, and it has been a few times. It is in this process that our party has become stronger and more mature. History and reality have proved that the greatness of the party lies not in not making mistakes, but in never being afraid of diseases and doctors, actively carrying out criticism and self-criticism, daring to face problems directly and being brave in self-revolution.

　　In the new era and new journey, if we can always find and solve our own problems in time, we must persist in emancipating our minds, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, seeking truth and being pragmatic, carrying forward the spirit of self-revolution, constantly eliminating all factors that damage the Party’s advanced nature and purity, constantly eliminating all viruses that erode the Party’s healthy body, and building the Party into a Marxist ruling party that is always at the forefront of the times, wholeheartedly supported by the people, brave in self-revolution, able to withstand all kinds of storms and tests, and full of vitality.

　　We must always maintain a clean and upright political ecology.

　　This is the sixth problem expounded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary to solve the unique problems of the big party, emphasizing "how to always maintain a clean and upright political ecology". The reason why the Supreme Leader General Secretary raised this issue is to remind the whole party that political ecology, like natural ecology, is easily polluted if it is not paid attention to, and it will cost a lot to recover once problems arise. This issue is related to the party’s physical health, whether our party can gather strong positive energy, and whether our party can never deteriorate, change color or taste.

　　Our Party is the vanguard of the working class in China, as well as the people of Chinese and the Chinese nation. It has no special interests of its own, never represents any interest group, any power group or any privileged class, and it is absolutely not allowed to have various interest groups within the Party, nor is it allowed to form a party for selfish ends. It is our party’s fine tradition and political advantage to carry out serious inner-party political life and create a good political ecology. Gutian Conference put forward the principle of ideological party building and political army building, which emphasized that party member’s thoughts and life within the Party should be politicized and scientific. The success of Zunyi Conference is due to the restoration of democratic centralism, the active ideological struggle within the Party and the normal life within the Party. After the rectification movement in Yan ‘an, our party gradually formed the basic norms of inner-party political life with the main contents of seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice, keeping close contact with the masses, criticizing and self-criticizing, democratic centralism, and strict party discipline in the long-term practice, which ensured that the party was full of vitality. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has set an example, firmly promoted the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, adhered to the close combination of ideological party building and institutional party management, concentrated put in order’s party style, severely punished corruption, and purified the political ecology within the party, which has shown a new atmosphere in the political life within the party and won the hearts and minds of the party. History and reality fully prove that when the political ecology is good, people’s hearts will be smooth and healthy; When the political ecology is not good, people will be distracted and ill.

　　In the new era and new journey, to maintain a clean and upright political ecology, it is necessary to be serious about the political life within the Party, cultivate a positive and healthy political culture within the Party, carry forward and practice the values of loyalty, honesty, fairness and decency, seeking truth from facts, honesty and integrity, and advocate a clean and refreshing relationship between comrades, a well-behaved relationship between superiors and subordinates, and a pro-clean political and business relationship. Adhere to the strict tone to strengthen the discipline and discipline, and resolutely oppose corruption with the determination and will to blow the charge forever. Adhere to the correct orientation of employing people, select and use good cadres, promote the elimination of the able, the mediocre and the inferior, and gather the majestic power of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the strong positive energy of the whole party.
