习近平总书记在庆祝建党95周年大会上讲了什么？ |
Highlights of General Secretary Xi Jinping's Speech Marking the CPC's 95th Founding Anniversary |
| 一、总结了中国共产党为中华民族做出的三个伟大历史贡献及其意义。 | I. It summarized the three greatest historic contributions that the CPC has made to the Chinese nation and their significance. |
|
第一个伟大历史贡献，习近平指出，就是我们党团结带领中国人民进行28年浴血奋战，打败日本帝国主义，推翻国民党反动统治，完成新民主主义革命，建立了中华人民共和国。 习近平表示，这一伟大历史贡献的意义在于，彻底结束了旧中国半殖民地半封建社会的历史，彻底结束了旧中国一盘散沙的局面，彻底废除了列强强加给中国的不平等条约和帝国主义在中国的一切特权，实现了中国从几千年封建专制政治向人民民主的伟大飞跃。 |
In his speech Xi pointed out that in the CPC's 95 years of splendid history it has overcome one obstacle after another through its firm reliance on the people. It has also continued to score one victory after another and as a result made historic contributions to the Chinese nation. In particular, the historic contributions that he mentioned include: leading the Chinese people through 28 years of bloody battles and civil war; defeating Japanese imperialism; overthrowing the anti-revolutionary rule of the Kuomintang; completing the New Democratic Revolution; and founding the People's Republic of China. These contributions are significant because when combined, they show how the CPC thoroughly put an end to the era when China was a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The CPC brought together a China that was fragmented, and in the process completely abolished unfair treaties forced upon China by foreign powers and revoked the privileges that imperialists had enjoyed in China. Hence, China transformed from a feudal autocracy that had lasted for thousands of years to a people's democracy. |
|
第二个伟大历史贡献，习近平指出，就是我们党团结带领中国人民完成社会主义革命，确立社会主义基本制度，消灭一切剥削制度，推进了社会主义建设。 习近平表示，这一伟大历史贡献的意义在于，完成了中华民族有史以来最为广泛而深刻的社会变革，为当代中国一切发展进步奠定了根本政治前提和制度基础，为中国发展富强、中国人民生活富裕奠定了坚实基础，实现了中华民族由不断衰落到根本扭转命运、持续走向繁荣富强的伟大飞跃。 |
The Party has also made a historic contribution to uniting and leading the Chinese people to complete the socialist revolution, set up a basic socialist system, eliminate all exploitative systems and push ahead with socialist construction. The significance of this lies in that it has brought about the most extensive and profound social transformation in the history of China. It also laid the fundamental political and institutional foundation for all of the progress made in contemporary China and created a solid basis for the country to become strong and prosperous. The Chinese nation has reversed its fate from a continuous decline to increasing prosperity. |
|
第三个伟大历史贡献，习近平指出，就是我们党团结带领中国人民进行改革开放新的伟大革命，极大激发广大人民群众的创造性，极大解放和发展社会生产力，极大增强社会发展活力，人民生活显著改善，综合国力显著增强，国际地位显著提高。 习近平表示，这一伟大历史贡献的意义在于，开辟了中国特色社会主义道路，形成了中国特色社会主义理论体系，确立了中国特色社会主义制度，使中国赶上了时代，实现了中国人民从站起来到富起来、强起来的伟大飞跃。 |
Additionally, the Party united and lead the Chinese people through reform and opening up. This process greatly inspired the general public's creativity, unleashed social productivity and boosted social vitality. It also improved people's lives, as well as China's national strength and the country's international standing. Overall, the contribution is significant in that it has opened a socialist path with Chinese characteristics, formulated a system of theories with Chinese characteristics and established a socialist system with Chinese characteristics. It allows China to keep up with the times, and for the Chinese people to stand up and become richer and stronger. |
| 二、从中国共产党95年的发展历程中得出三大历史经验 | II. The speech drew three important historical experiences from the CPC's 95 years of history. |
| 习近平指出，历史告诉我们，没有先进理论的指导，没有用先进理论武装起来的先进政党的领导，没有先进政党顺应历史潮流、勇担历史重任、敢于作出巨大牺牲，中国人民就无法打败压在自己头上的各种反动派，中华民族就无法改变被压迫、被奴役的命运，我们的国家就无法团结统一、在社会主义道路上走向繁荣富强. | Xi pointed out that history has proven that without the leadership of an advanced Party, China would not be where it is today. The Party is defined as advanced because it is armed with advanced theories, follows historical trends, courageously shoulders its duties and makes huge sacrifices for the people. Without this, the Chinese people would not have been able to defeat various reactionary forces, would still be oppressed and enslaved, and would not have become united and prosperous along the socialist path. |
| 习近平指出，历史还告诉我们，历史和人民选择中国共产党领导中华民族伟大复兴的事业是正确的，必须长期坚持、永不动摇；中国共产党领导中国人民开辟的中国特色社会主义道路是正确的，必须长期坚持、永不动摇；中国共产党和中国人民扎根中国大地、吸纳人类文明优秀成果、独立自主实现国家发展的战略是正确的，必须长期坚持、永不动摇。 | He also pointed out that history has proven that the great cause of rejuvenating the Chinese nation under the CPC's leadership, which was chosen by history and people, is correct and must be adhered to unswervingly. The socialist path with Chinese characteristics opened by the Chinese people under the CPC's leadership is correct and must be followed steadfastly. The CPC and Chinese people's strategy to develop the country based on national conditions and drawing on the excellent fruits of human civilization is correct and must be carried out firmly. |
| 习近平指出，历史告诉我们，95年来，中国走过的历程，中国人民和中华民族走过的历程，是中国共产党和中国人民用鲜血、汗水、泪水写就的，充满着苦难和辉煌、曲折和胜利、付出和收获，这是中华民族发展史上不能忘却、不容否定的壮丽篇章，也是中国人民和中华民族继往开来、奋勇前进的现实基础。 | Xi said that history has shown that the road traveled by China has been paved by the CPC and the Chinese people with blood, sweat and tears. It has been full of plights and setbacks, yet also splendor and victories. It is an unforgettable and undeniably spectacular chapter in the development of the Chinese nation and a foundation on which the Chinese people can build upon and forge ahead. |
| 习近平总书记对中国共产党95年历史发展做出的这三大总结，表明了只有共产党才能救中国，没有共产党就没有新中国的事实，更表明了中国人民坚持中国共产党的领导下，坚定不移实现中华民族伟大复兴的信念和信心。 | The above experiences show that only the CPC can save China. Without the CPC, there would not be the People's Republic of China. The Chinese people are confident that national renewal will be obtained under the CPC's leadership. |

| 在谈到军队建设时，习近平指出，要坚持党对军队的绝对领导，努力建设一支听党指挥、能打胜仗、作风优良的人民军队。中国奉行积极防御的军事战略方针，不会动辄以武力相威胁，也不会动不动到别人家门口炫耀武力。 | When talking about army building, Xi said that the Party's absolute leadership over the military must be adhered to and endeavors should be made to build a people's army that follows the command of the Party, can win battles and has good working style.
